Introduction

 

Today so much violence fills our world that   wherever we look we see trouble and strife, it seems   that behind every major case of terrorism, there is   only one group of people and that is Islam and its   followers.  Our politicians inform us that these are   fringe groups or Islamic extremists and that these  do   not represent the majority view of Islamic  teachings.   We saw Osama bin Laden waltz on our  TV screens  four days before the election in the US  (2004), this  should tell you something.  The Muslims  are  tenacious fighters and are not going away  quietly; our  technology can help but not eliminate  terrorism.  In addition our leaders say that Islam is a  religion of  peace but some adherents of Islam  pursue  terrorism  for their own immoral purposes and  carrying out  attacks against the civilised world.  Therefore, our war is really against those promoting terror and destruction.  However, the Muslims generally see this as an attack on Islam from the West.

 

Is this really the truth?

 

The simple answer is No.  I was in their camp once so know the facts better then reported by the media or our leadership.  If Christians promote their faith by actively preaching to everyone in the world, the love of God for mankind and the atoning death of Jesus Christ for their salvation, should we view them as extremists?

  

What about those Christian Churches that are quite content with having gay bishops ordained, should they be viewed as being correct when the Bible clearly teaches that this is an abomination before God?

 

The truth is that the ones who do not voice a concern about gay bishop ordination are the ones in the wrong camp while the ones who take the message of the love of God and the need of man to atone for his sin are in the right camp.  In the same manner, Muslims who hold strict adherence to the Qur’anic text and the Hadiths (sayings and deeds of their prophet Muhammad) are also following the strict teachings in accordance with Islam and therefore are correct while the majority Muslims who do not follow this practice are equally wrong.  This means the ones in Osama’s camp are correctly following the teachings of the Qur’an and the moderates are not, this is the reason why he is revered.

 

The ones who go to convert non-Muslims by force or fight the west are in the right camp by the standard of the Qur’an and Hadith.  The Qur’an clearly teaches to wage ACTIVE WAR against the Infidels or those who occupy Muslim lands and those who oppose the teachings of Muhammad.  I will illustrate these things in this book to show that we are not up against a peaceful religion but a force that is out to destroy all democratic values on which the West functions.  We are not just dealing with demagogues but a religion that is determined to take us back to the 7^th century paradigm.

 

Let us examine a verse in the Qur’an that is commonly known to be the verse of the sword, the following verse (Sura 9:29) is universally agreed upon by All Islamic schools of thought to apply to our time, where the Muslims have to actively conduct Jihad [outer struggle by war] to bring about the Islamic government in all the world,  and to establish the caliphate (one supreme caliph e.g. a leader), this speaks volumes while all the PEACEFUL verses (relating to co-existence with non-Muslims) in the Qur’an before this verse are NAASIKH and Mansookh (which means to be abolished, replaced and abrogated, made null and void). 

 

The following verse has therefore abolished all 114 peaceful verses in the Qur’an. This was revealed to Muhammad in Medina by Allah (the Islamic god) even though moderate Muslims wrongly cite peaceful verses in the Qur’an to mislead other people into DIY (do it yourself), packaged Islam for the West.  When Muhammad was in Mecca he claims to have received Suras which are peaceful in nature to the people around him but when he moved to Medina and he acquired some followers, the Suras change from peace to hostility, these Medinan Suras abrogate the peaceful verses, because the Qur’an is not in any chronological order it is very difficult for any ordinary person to know which are Meccan Suras and which are Medinan without going into an indepth study of the Qur’an. 

 

The Western DIY version is not true Islam but an Islam especially packaged for the West with all the true teachings removed so the new converts do not understand what Islam represents until they are indoctrinated into basic Islam at which point the Muslim Imams (similar to pastors) can then introduce the other teachings so these people will find them more palatable.  Think of it like this, start giving someone hashish (mild drugs) to start with and tell them it is not harmful, they are quite happy to take it as it appears to calm them down and make them feel happy but as they get used to it then introduce them to heroine (hard drug) at which point their body is used to hashish but we know heroine untreated will certainly kill them but they are so dependent by now that they cannot give it up,  this is the state of a Muslim convert who is then faced with the dilemma of what to do with true Islam because he knows by leaving Islam he faces certain death for apostasy under the Sha’ria Law of Islam. 

 

We can read the famous Bukhari Hadith on this which states:

 

From Sahih al Bukhari, vol 9 p 45:

 

Narrated Ikrima: Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event reached Ibn Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's apostle forbade it, saying 'Do not punish anyone with Allah's punishment (fire).’ I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's apostle: 'whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.' (Emphasis mine)

 

Therefore, generally most Muslims converts or otherwise are kept in Islam out of fear and not because of the love for truth.  Their prophet Muhammad himself said kill them wherever you find them, this means anywhere in he world not just in an Islamic state.  A lot of what has been happening in Iraq lately against the Muslims who have been captured and beheaded by Muslims is that they are seen to be helping the West who are considered infidels, so these Muslim prisoners are considered by Islamists to be apostate Muslims to be killed.

 

Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 61, Number 577:

 

I heard the Prophet saying, "In the last days (of the world) there will appear young people with foolish thoughts and ideas. They will give good talks, but they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out of its game, their faith will not exceed their throats. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for there will be a reward for their killers on the Day of Resurrection."

 

Do you not see that the Islamists that kill these secular Muslims are fulfilling their Hadith for reward?  Most Islamic Scholars know and argue that the peaceful verses have been replaced by the verses of the sword and are now incumbent upon all Muslims, those that do not follow these are seen as apostate Muslims i.e. they do not hold to the Qur’an truthfully so therefore their punishment by other strict Muslims is death, we have seen that the so-called fanatical Muslims have killed some of those Muslims who side with the West and do not follow the strict teachings of the Qur’an. 

 

Is it not apparent that moderate Muslims living in Islamic countries never oppose any action by the so-called extremists?

 

Sura 9.29   Fight those who do not believe in Allah [Allah is not the God of the Bible], nor in the latter day [atheists, polytheists, humanists and animists], nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited [this includes all people who do not comply with food restrictions and general laws of Islam], nor follow the religion of truth [that means “Islam” and applies to all non-Muslim people], out of those who have been given the Book [Includes Jews and Christians especially], until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority [submission tax called Jizzya for those who do not believe in Muhammad and Allah] and they are in a state of subjection [humiliate them in subjection i.e. until they feel the only path for them is to become Muslims to avoid this over taxation and humiliation daily].

 

Their goal is simply to overcome the non-Muslim world and model it into an Islamic world/Empire, they make no secret about this, it is not some hidden agenda or some secret mission, in fact in this regards the Muslims are very honest.  The Islamic Scholar Maududi (1903 – 1979) and founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami (Party of Islam) had this to say in his book “Jihad in Islam”…

 

"Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth, which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a State on the basis of its own ideology and programme, regardless of which Nation assumes the role of the standard bearer of Islam or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State."

--Sayeed Abul A'la Maududi, Jihad in Islam p9

 

He further states:

 

"It must be evident to you from this discussion that the objective of Islamic 'Jihad' is to eliminate the rule of an un-Islamic system and establish in its stead an Islamic system of State rule. Islam does not intend to confine this revolution to a single State or a few countries; the aim of Islam is to bring about a universal revolution."

--Sayeed Abul A'la Maududi, Jihad in Islam p24

Friday, July 23, 2004, the Barnabas Fund that investigates the plight of persecuted Christians reported that in Iraq an Assyrian Christian owner of Al-Hanna restaurant in Mosul's Al-Dawasa district had been murdered by an Islamic group because he had American customers. His business partner a Muslim whose hands were cut off and eyes gouged out by the Islamists[1].  Indeed, this is a stark warning that they will not tolerate Muslims working with Christians because they consider these Muslims to be apostate and not following Islam exactly as I stated earlier.

 

I am writing this book to show the world that in order to survive this onslaught by the Islamists whose only agenda is the destruction and plundering of the West we need to take a critical look at the current trends. The Bible documents our problems and the solutions many centuries before they happened as prophecies.  The question is do we accept the Bible as authoritative or as a book too old to solve our problems and continue to waste time in dialogue with the terrorists.

 

Today, terrorists dominate our televisions screens. The media presents beheadings as regular events showing that innocent people are being killed “in the name of Allah” and the question on everyone’s mind is why?

 

I will show that this is not a new trend but this is simply a revival of the old fundamentalist religion of Islam and we must warn our peaceful Muslim neighbours of the catastrophe this will lead into unless they reform and turn away from this false ideology, they need to beware that their souls are headed into everlasting torment for following a false god.  The Bible is emphatic that this trouble would happen in the last days and I will examine prophetic passages to show why this only fits with Islam and no other group of people or religion on the face of our planet.  If you have paid attention to the conflict in Israel so far then you will come to a realisation that the End-Time battle is really between the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve tribes of Ishmael.  Consider this as the 12 princes of light verses the 12 princes of darkness.

 

We also ask ourselves how do we solve all these problems, what is the answer to this strife and contention?

 

These are some of the questions that many people ask and this book is written to try and address some of these questions of the 21^st century.  Interestingly enough, when the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob gave his oracles to the Jewish nation in the wilderness, when Moses rescued the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt, God gave them the answers to these questions.  God gave the answers to the prophets of old but we must take a deeper look in order to see what God has to say about the source of this conflict and how our world will be brought to a close by a cataclysmic end following these events.

 

In this we are all together, the Hindus, the Christians, and the Jews no matter who you are, you will all be affected but the solution lies in one person only and that is the person of Jesus Christ (Yeshua of Nazareth) who can really bridge the gap and bring true peace between Muslims and the rest of the world.  Two thousand years ago he died on a Roman cross to vanquish death.  Next, he rose from the dead to gain victory for those that call him Lord and saviour and love him dearly and follow him to do good in the world, he truly changes lives and mine is one such life that he changed from the road of destruction to the road to everlasting life and peace with God my father.

 

With God our creator all is possible but he has given us free will and choice to choose the right way or the wrong way, I can love and pray for the Muslims who seek the true God and I can confirm that God is love and seeks those that search for him.  It is true that God will save some of these Muslims that seek him out of the fanatic pagan religion of Islam to his everlasting love, while those Muslims that are bent on destruction will face destruction in this life with everlasting eternal hell as a bonus, not the seventy-two houris (perpetual virgins, black-eyed with big bosoms) they think they will get is a mere deception of the serpent of old the devil.
