Call
the enemy what you like – radicals, fundamentalists, Islamic terrorists,
jihadists, or just plain Muslims. Connect the dots to their past activities,
and you will uncover a disturbing pattern: a fanatical commitment to
eliminating infidels.
Some
of you may recall the American Embassy bombings (in Dares Salaam, Tanzania, and
in Nairobi, Kenya), and the brutal killings of innocent Westerners (Wall Street
Journal Reporter Daniel Pearl, Businessman Nick Berg, and American Helicopter
Engineer Paul Johnson). For those who don’t here are a few highlights from the
50 past you may recall, which should help connect the dots.
• The murder of Robert Kennedy by a Palestinian national,
Sirhan Sirhan (1968);
•
The eleven Israeli athletes murdered during the Munich Olympic games by
Palestinians (1972);
•
The Beirut barracks’ massacre led by Hezbollah that killed several hundred
military members (1983);
•
The Lockerbie, Scotland, bombing of a Pan American flight by Libyan terrorists,
which killed271 victims (1988);
•
The September 11th coordinated attack of the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon by al-Qaeda, which resulted in about 3,000 deaths and $10 billion in
property damages (2001);
•
The shooting of 13 soldiers and the injuring of about 30 others at Fort Hood
military base by a psychiatrist, shouting Allahu Akbar! (Allah is great)
(2009);
•
The savage murder of the U.S. Ambassador and several others in Benghazi, Libya
by jihadists (2012);
•
The Boston Marathon bombings, planned by two Chechen brothers, which killed 3
and injured 260 (2013);
•
And the kidnapping of about 230 Nigerian school girls by the Islamic
terrorists, Boko Haram (2014).
History
is replete with many more examples. Open your history books, the ones which
haven’t been rewritten by revisionists, and this is what you will uncover:
• In 622 AD, Mohamed, a camel driver, saw the light. It
was revealed to him through the divine voice of Gabriel while he was in a
religious trance, worshipping in a cave. From 622 AD until his death in 632 AD,
Mohamed followed this light and inspired others to do the same. During the
subsequent wars, designed to expand Mohamed’s control in the Arabian Peninsula,
he and his followers slaughtered non-believers, kidnapped women and children,
and stole their land and gold.
•
After his death, his followers continued in his footsteps. Through war, they
spread Islam beyond the borders of the Arabian Peninsula into India, North
Africa, and even Spain.
•
In 732 AD, Charles Martel halted Muslim advances into Europe during the Battle
of Tours, France. This defeat in Europe, though, didn’t end Islamic expansion;
the Muslims continued to crush the infidels in other areas of the world, taking
advantage of every opportunity available to them to murder and enslave.
•
By the 9th century,they had conquered Syria, Palestine, Persia, and Egypt. They
had a strong foothold across Northern Africa to Spain and Portugal. And they
had defeated the Byzantine fleets and took control of the Mediterranean Sea.
•
In 1095, Pope Urban II became concerned about the Christians slaughtered during
their pilgrimages to the Holy Lands. Determined to protect them and the
Byzantine Empire’s influence in the area, he organized the support of European
Christians and in 1096 proclaimed the first Crusade. The Crusades ended in 1291
with the Muslims controlling the Holy Lands until World War I.
•
In the 1890s, Abdul Hamid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, savagely killed
300,000 Christians who dared to rebel against his enslavement of them. His
actions, which received international attention, but no sanctions from the
West, earned for him the title the Red Sultan.
•
During World War I, the Young Turks attempted to revive the decaying Ottoman
Empire by creating a Turkey just for the Turks. What resulted was the savage
genocide of millions of Christians. It is generally believed – though Turkish
scholars and sympathizers will deny it – that this genocide inspired Hitler’s
actions during World War II against the Jews. (The Infidels by Joe David, a
well-researched novel on World War I, focuses on this genocide from the
Assyrians’ point of view.)
During
their wars and attacks against disbelievers, the Muslim method for eliminating
infidels were often cruel and barbaric. In the book The Armenian Genocide,
edited by Richard Hovannisian, Armenian scholar, Anahit Khosroeva writes the
following about the World War I massacre:
The
skulls of small children were smashed with rocks; the bodies of girls and
women, who resisted rape or conversion into Moslems, were chopped into pieces
live; men were mostly beheaded or thrown into the nearby river; the clergy,
monks and nuns were skinned or burned live.
To
achieve success in battle, the Muslims developed a system for rebuilding their
military force. It was not uncommon for them to abduct young boys, often while
still in their early teens, sometimes even younger, brainwash them and turn
them into soldiers; pubescent girls were frequently used as whores for both
pleasure and procreation. Any Christian captured who refused to convert by
pronouncing Shahada, accepting the faith, were either killed in the most savage
way imaginable or left to live in a Dar al-Harb (an abode of War). In these
abodes, they were reduced to dhimmi, non-Muslim citizens, denied personal
rights and burdened with heavy taxes. In short, they were slaves to their
captors.
In an
article entitled “Genocide in the Middle East: The Ottoman Empire, Iraq, and Sudan”
(published Carolina Academic Press), Professor Hannibal Travis reveals the
methods the Turks used to imprint their culture on Northern Cyprus after the
invasion of 1974.
The
Turks ethnically cleansed the north of the island, village by village . . . .
Thousands of Turkish peasants were brought in from mainland Turkey to the New
Turkish Republic of North Cyprus to take the place of the displaced Greeks . .
. . The destruction of Greek heritages was an insurance against . . . (an)
identifiably Greek . . . zone . . . . In the months and years following (the
invasion), all but a handful of northern Cyprus’s 502 Greek Orthodox churches,
some of Byzantine origin, were vandalized, looted, demolished or put to a new
uses including as mosques, stables, latrines, stores and a cinema . . . . The
destruction was methodical . . .
(It
was) so methodical and so widespread that (it) amount(ed) to the
institutionalized obliteration of everything sacred to the Greek.
In
reviewing the past, it is true, the Christians had committed their share of
sins against man. During the Crusades, for example, enflamed by outrageous
propaganda, Crusaders brutally murdered their share of Jews; also, during the
Dark Ages, there was the Inquisition in Spain and the barbaric actions of Charlemagne
while cleansing Europe of certain Christian groups. But of these atrocities,
none have equaled what the Islamic army had consistently done –and is doing to
this day.
Much
of this information is easy to verify. Unfortunately, few western leaders
willingly discuss it openly. For whatever reason, they either ignore it or
dismiss it with political rhetoric. If this blindness to history continues,
terrorism will become a way of life, which will eventually plunge the civilized
world into a Dark Age, in which Sharia Law in all its madness will rule
supreme.
To
understand why so little has changed over the years, why the pattern and goal
remains the same with Muslims, you must turn to their Koran for answers. The
most quoted verse is Sura 9:5 (kill the disbelievers wherever you find them).
Other verses worthy of note can be found throughout the book (Suras 4:84, 9:73,
9:123, etc.). Such encouragement has given Orthodox Muslims the justification
they need to fight. Their reward for such action is an afterlife in a Garden
Paradise served by maidens. Although Western sympathizers defend the Muslims in
general by pointing to those who have joined the mainstream of Western
Civilization, none of these sympathizers will seriously acknowledge the possibility
that many of them may be cells, ready to become human bombs at a moment’s
notice.
Although
it can be argued, and rightly, that not all Muslims are terrorists, the numbers
that are terrorists are quite alarming. Conservative figures, for example, claim
about 7 percent of the 2 billion Muslims around the world are jihadists; that’s
about 140 million warriors for Allah. If you accept the figure that 25 percent
of the Muslim population have admitted support of jihadist activities, the
number of jihadists increases to about 500 million. Give them the atomic bomb,
and you will have a conflagration you will never forget.
Some
world leaders by ignoring the past would like us to believe that Islam is a
religion of peace, but nothing about their history suggests this. The Muslims
have demonstrated repeatedly that Islam is a political ideology, disguised as a
religion, committed to eliminating infidels. Anyone doubting this needs a
fact-based history lesson.
The
big question: Will America survive?
