IN COMMEMORATION OF 9-11
ISLAMIC TERRORISM
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AND WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
By Pastor Jim Croft
Post the 9/11/01 Islamic terrorist attacks on America the major television
networks began filling the airwaves with interviews with consultants that specialize
in Islamic issues. The majority of them have been less than candid about the
role of Islam in spawning international terrorism. They present the traditions
and Holy books of Islam as those that promote peace, tolerance, and truth. The
experts neglect to inform you of the overriding aspects of Muslim traditions
and writings that encourage hostility, intolerance, and lying as a policy, particularly
to non-Muslims. In reality, if the teachings of Mohammed and Muslim clerics
were extracted from the hearts and minds of the 19 hijackers of 9/11, 3,000
Americans would still be living members of their families. The points related
in this report have been gleaned from years of investigating Islam and correspondence
with Arabic-speaking ex-Muslims that have chosen to put their faith in Jesus
Christ.
7 Things the Islamic experts won't tell you!
- About Islam's worldview - The Muslims of Islamic states, and many
within the USA, have the tradition of a worldview that divides humanity into
two opposing halves. Dar al-Islam, House of Islam, is the zone
where Islam rules. The other side is the war zone that is called, Dar
el Harb, House of War. This worldview dictates that war will continue
between these two sections of humanity until the supremacy of Islam is fully
established throughout the earth.
- About deceptive revisions of the Koran - There has been a great effort
among Muslim translators to enhance Islam's appeal and reputation among people
of other faiths. To accomplish this they have adopted a slanted, freestyle
method of translating certain sections of the Koran. This is done to veil
the truth about their religion's primitive barbarism and contempt for Christians
and Jews that is revealed in the original Arabic texts. Here is an example
from the new French translation of the Koran in regard to the Jews. It reads,
"The people of Israel will be twice destroyed as an innocent victim,
and God will reward them by elevating them to great heights." The
original translation reads just the opposite. "The people of Israel,
after sowing corruption twice on earth for the purpose of dominating other
people, will push themselves up into a position of extreme power before being
punished by God."
- About the Koran's violent verses - The Koran was written in two major
stages. These have been integrated and arranged by chapter length as opposed
to the chronological order in which they were initially written. The first
part was penned in the early years of the Islamic movement while Mohammed
was living in Mecca, Arabia. The experts boast the verses from these chapters
as proof that Islam is a bastion of peace, love, and tolerance. They avoid
references to verses from the second and largest portion of the Koran. It
was written after the movement relocated its headquarters to Medina, Arabia,
and increased in strength. These verses often reflect religious intolerance
and encourage cruel hostility towards non-Muslims. Here are two examples that
were aimed at Jews, Christians, and Arabs that clung to traditional tribal
polytheistic beliefs. - So when the sacred months have passed, slay
the idolaters, wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them
and lie in wait for them in every ambush…. (Koran 9:5) The only
punishment of those that wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive
to make mischief in the land is that they should be murdered, or crucified,
or their hands and their feet should be cut-off on opposite sides, or they
should be imprisoned…. (Koran 5:33)
- About the stage of weakness/the stage of strength strategy - The
stark differences in the tone of the verses that were written in Mecca and
those written in Medina exposes a tactic that has been characteristic of Islam
throughout its history. Traditionally, Muslims determine the strength of the
religion in various settings as being in one of two states; the stage of weakness
and the stage of strength. When Muslims are in the minority and perceive that
they are vulnerable, it is their custom to agree to most anything and to be
conciliatory towards other religious groups. The moment that they sense superiority
in numbers and influence, a form of ruthlessness sets in. They begin to oppress
minority religious groups and to demonstrate a blatant disregard for the agreements
that they made during the stage of weakness.
- About sanctioned lying - Unlike Christianity and Judaism, Islam does
not simply make a provision for forgiveness if one tells a lie; it actually
encourages lying in certain situations. This is evident in both the Koran
and the Hadith. The latter is a collection of Mohammed's sayings and deeds
according to his wives, relatives, and companions. Next to the Koran, it is
the most important part of Islamic law. In the Hadith, Mohammed was quoted
as saying, "The sons of Adam are accountable for all lies with the exception
of those spoken to reconcile two men that are quarreling, for a man to appease
his wife, and in war, because war necessitates deception." This is
what often makes life such a nightmare for non-Muslim women that marry Muslim
men. Without the pangs of conscience, men are licensed to appease their wives
with promises which they have no intention of keeping. In addition, within
Islam there is the principle of "Al Takeyya." The term means, "prevention".
This principle permits Muslims to lie at their discretion whenever they interpret
that it is expedient for the influence of Islam or their personal protection
and well-being. They justify lying by using the following verse as a springboard
for expanded applications of Al Takeyya. "Let not the believers take
the disbelievers for friends rather than believers. And whoever does this
has no connection with Allah unless it is done to guard (Takeyya) yourselves
against them, guarding carefully. And Allah cautions you against His retribution.
And to Allah is the eventual coming." (Koran 3:27) The principle of
Al Takeyya is precisely what makes negotiations with Islamic statesmen such
a frustrating endeavor for the naïve diplomats of Christianized nations. It
is imperative that diplomatic envoys learn that when dealing with Muslims,
what Muslim statesmen say is not the issue. The real issue is, what do they
mean and actually intend to do in their hearts.
- About the depth of hatred for the West - The pro-Islam experts endlessly
reiterate that only a small number of Muslims would qualify as West-hating-radicals.
The claim is that the majority are peace-loving moderates. This may be true
of the majority of Muslims that have immigrated to America in pursuit of economic
opportunity. For most of these, strict compliance with the dictates of clerics
in relation to the teachings of Islam is secondary to their thirst for prosperity
and political freedom. However, their sentiments are not indicative of the
majority of the world's 1.2 billion Muslims. The facts are as follows:
- Polls indicate that high percentages of our supposed allies in Pakistan
and Saudi Arabia support Osama Bin Laden.
- Post 9/11, his first name, Osama, has attained a favored name status
for newborn male children in a dozen or more Muslim nations. (In some
nations 7 out of 10 baby boys are the namesakes of the terrorist).
- Numerous Mosques in Islamic states exhibit the photo of Bin Laden as
a hero of the faith.
- The abbreviated list of nations wherein Muslims mob the streets gleefully
chanting "Allah Akbar" (Allah is greater) every time America or Israel
suffers from Islamic terrorist activities includes Israel, Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Indonesia,
Nigeria, and the Philippines. In America, Muslims have been observed doing
the same in many convenience marts and mosques. (It may be true that Christianity
has a miniscule number of violent radicals; however, you don't find pictures
of IRA terrorists hanging in the vestibules of Christian sanctuaries around
the globe or hordes of America's Catholics streaming to the aid of their
oppressed brethren in Northern Ireland.) The experts can claim that most
of the world's Muslims are peace-loving moderates, but the stats reveal
that it is the radicals that have the power to influence the hearts and
minds of the Muslim masses.
- About envy of the West - There are two interrelated spiritual factors for
the radical Muslim's hatred for our way of life.
- Islamic clerics and political leaders espouse inflammatory anti-Semitic
and anti-Christian rhetoric based on the writings and sayings of Mohammed.
- The prosperity and technology of nations that are based on Judeo-Christian
values embarrasses the Islamic claim of spiritual/cultural superiority
and provokes them to virulent jealousy. The premise for Islam's exaggerated
sense of spiritual/cultural superiority is built on the widely held Muslim
view that they led the world in advances in math, literature and the sciences
from 700AD until 1200AD. Many scholars contend that the advances were
actually a continuum of the momentum that had been attained, prior to
the arrival of the Muslims, by the Persians, Jews, and Christians. A comparison
of Islamic nations and other nations gives ample evidence that Islam stifles
rather than inspires innovations. No other nations, other than under Muslim
rule, that have claimed a history of being fountainheads of cultural advances
have ceased to continue as such. Two atomic bombs have not stopped the
Japanese. Politically torn South Korea, without oil, has a gross national
product of $600 billion. Oil rich Saudi Arabia's GNP is a mere $186 billion.
Each year since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded to people that
have been distinguished for notable endeavors for world peace and in literature,
and for outstanding accomplishments in the sciences. During the history
of the Nobel there have been 139 Jewish recipients and well over 200 Christians,
but only 6 recipients from Islamic nations. There is nothing lacking in
the mental capacities of Muslim people, because they flourish in technology
and the sciences when living in Westernized democracies. The objective
evidence is that it is the rule of Islam that is the culprit that smothers
creativity.
5 Things that you can do to protect your family and community!
- Educate your kids - It is unbecoming for Christians to relate
to anyone, including Muslims, with uncharitable haughtiness. Nonetheless,
it is essential that parents educate their children about the dangers of
embracing Islam as the path of expression for their personal faith. The
points that have been made in this report can be modified and gently shared
with your youngsters. In reality, becoming a Muslim holds sure perils that
eclipse the remote potential of being harmed by Islamic terrorists. This
is particularly true of your daughters. Islamic law puts women in a position
that excludes them from many of the liberties that Western parents expect
their children to enjoy as adults. My book, The Muslim Masquerade,
and Abdullah Al-Araby's, Islam Unveiled, disclose many of
the human rights violations that Islam routinely permits Muslim men to perpetrate
against women. Many young women from Christian backgrounds have fallen prey
to the intriguing appeal of Islamic men. Countless numbers of these hapless
women have reaped tragic lives of heartache. Don't let it happen to your
child. God honors the prayers of parents that begin to regularly pray for
the future spouses of their children while they are still in diapers.
- Pray that our national, state, and local police investigative agencies
will uncover the plots of the multitudes of terror cell members and their
supporters that are living amongst us. In faith, rather than fear, intermittently
ask the Lord to protect your children, family, and friends from potential
harm by homicide bombers.
- Pray that our nation's Immigration and Naturalization Service will
have the wisdom to limit the number of visas granted to persons under the
age of 50 from Islamic backgrounds. Ask the Lord to help the authorities
locate those that have false documents and expired visas.
- Become a profiler - The liberal establishment insists that our
nation's constitutional amendments limit the extent to which ethnic and
religious profiling can be utilized. Regardless of the politically correct
limitations, as an American citizen, you are free to choose not to be politically
correct. You can assist in the needed profiling. When profiling do not hone
in on people simply because they have Middle Eastern physical features.
Potential Islamic terrorists cover the entire spectrum of the nationalities
of those that adhere to Christianity. It is erroneous to suspect that everyone
with Arab physical features is a potential terrorist. Not all Arabs are
Muslims and not all Muslims are Arabs. Less than 25% of the followers of
Islam are of Arabic heritage. In America, 80% of the resident Arabs are
actually Christian in their religious affiliation. The identification of
potential terrorists should never be based solely on racial features. When
it is, a Thai Buddhist can easily be mistaken for an Islamic Indonesian.
A group of Nigerian Muslims could easily pass as African Baptists. Armenian
Christians may look very similar to Afghani Muslims. The key is to be observant
of everyone's demeanor. Keep a watchful eye on fellow travelers when using
public transportation. Nervousness, exaggerated clock-watching, over concern
with carry-on luggage, and rude avoidance of customary cordialness can all
be indicators. If anyone or anything looks suspicious, regardless of the
nationality of those involved, report it to the authorities. Subsequent
to terrorist attacks monitor the responses of people in venues where terrorism
supporters might be expected to congregate: mosques, convenience marts,
university campuses, etc.; if anyone acts hostile or overly jubilant, report
it to the FBI.
- Educate others - Put legs on your prayers by sending this report
to your friends, clergymen, and any civic representatives that are responsible
for the safety of the nation and our communities.
