The truth about Islam as a "religion of peace." This oft-quoted farce is an illustration of the dangerous ignorance that most Americans share regarding Islam--an ignorance that these terrorist butchers are exploiting to avoid exposure. The Fraud in the White House is aiding in Islam's great deception.

Mohammed was born in approximately A.D. 580 and grew up in Mecca in what is today, Saudi Arabia.  Arabs are the descendants of Ishmael.  Mohammed was orphaned at age six and was raised by his uncle.  He was probably epileptic because he suffered from seizures.  Growing up, he was impressed by the Christians who lived in the area, and traveled through his town on trading expeditions.  Unlike his own Arab people, Christians took care of the poor, the widows and the orphans.  He learned some disparate tenets of Christianity and Judaism, and filled in what he didn’t know with his own ideas, and many of them were horribly wrong.

Mohammed was illiterate, but he envied Christians and Jews because they had books that told them of their God.  (He often referred to them as “people of the book.“)  Arabs at this time, were mostly idolaters and polytheistic, in fact, they had 360 gods--one for every day of the year.  One of these, Mohammed chose to become the pattern for Allah.

Contrary to widespread belief, Mohammed did not write the Qu’ran (Koran) which is divided into chapters called surahs.  In adulthood, he spent time in the deserts near Mecca and claimed to have seen visions in which the angel, Gabriel dictated the Qu’ran to him.  Years later, Mohammed told what he had seen and heard to others who presumably recorded what he told them to write.  Of course, there is no way to know if what Mohammed dictated is what was actually written into the Qu’ran.

Later in life, Mohammed came to despise the Christians and Jews and his hostility toward them becomes more intense and prolific in the Qu’ran.  Mohammed claimed that Jesus, Noah, Moses and Abraham were prophets who foretold of him--the final prophet. 

Islam means “submission” or “struggle“--it does not mean “peace” as has been widely claimed.  Mohammedanism is a works-based religion in which adherents earn their way into paradise by “being conscientious” to pray at the proper times and in the prescribed way to a god who cannot be known, making pilgrimage or Haj to Mecca, by paying alms to the poor and to orphans, keeping Islam’s rules regarding food, fasting during Ramadan, and striving to convert the entire world to their ways.  Dr. Ravi  Zacharias has called Islam, “A state-building religion,” and that is what it is.

In Islamic nations, foreigners are expected to observe Ramadan as well, and can be arrested and jailed if caught eating or drinking in public.  It is called a fast month, but adherents simply gorge themselves between sunset and sunrise during the month of Ramadan.  My last days in the U.S. Navy were spent in Bahrain.  The U.S. embassy there, operated a compound for American citizens and embassy personnel.

Many deceivers say that the Qu’ran is a poetic book that can only be fully appreciated when spoken in Arabic, but it’s difficult for any thinking person to understand how commands of murder can be called “poetic,” in any tongue.
  
The Qu’ran teaches that Moslems are to respond to non-Moslems by taxing them, enslaving them, or simply killing them.  It does say that “Jews and Christians who believe in Allah and do good will have their reward.” The Cow, v. 62, but Jews and Christians do not believe in Allah, so it‘s a moot point.

The Cow v. 191 says, “Kill them wherever you find them, but not near the mosque unless they fight you, then kill them.  Death is the reward of unbelievers” [non-Moslems].

“Fighting is prescribed for you [Moslems] even if it is abhorrent to you.  It may be that the thing you dislike is good for you.”  Cow v. 216

The followers of Islam who are terrorists, are not a small fringe of extremists.  They commit suicide acts because they do not think they will die.  “Those killed in Allah’s cause are not dead--they live.”  The Family of Imran, v. 169

Mohammed had 13 wives, the youngest was nine years old when he first had sex with her.  Imams can have four wives, but only Mohammed was entitled to more.  Within families, men inherit twice what women receive. 

Wives who are unfaithful are to be kept in their homes until natural death.  Women, v.15

“If you fear your women will act badly,” says v.34, “leave them alone in bed; then spank them.  And if they obey you, seek nothing against them.” 

Women, v. 89 says, “Do not befriend non-Muslims, execute them wherever you find them.”

The Qu’ran claims that Mohammed came to “clarify” scripture for them.  The Table, v. 15.

Mohammed could not comprehend the Trinity, (One God in three forms or persons) therefore, he considered Christians to be polytheists.

Much of the Qu’ran is the articulating of Mohammed’s rebuttals to fallacies that he thought Christians believed and professed, but did not and do not.  Sprinkled throughout the text are oddly-placed declarations of the characteristics of Allah.  For example, during Mohammed’s erroneous historical account of Israel, he suddenly interjects the verse, “Allah is almighty, most-wise.”  In other places, he throws in, “Allah is all-hearing, all-seeing,” or after stating that those who do not work are not equal in the cause of Allah, he says, “Allah is most-merciful, most judicious.”  These are repeated ad nauseum. 

In the surah entitled, The Spoils of War, the Qu’ran states, “When you meet unbelievers, [non-Moslems] do not turn your backs on them; their abode is hell.  When you kill them, it was Allah who did so.”  v.15.  and “Fight those who scoff [at Islam] until there is no civil strife.” v.38,39.

Summary
Do not accept this account as a comprehensive report of Islam or the Qu’ran, or anyone else’s account.  Read it for yourself.  Copies of the Qu’ran are available at any public library.  The truth is there for all to see.  The Qu’ran is a series of tedious and often unrelated commands and statements, many of which are known to be false, including those which are easiest to disprove, such as the historical accounts. 

Because Mohammed was epileptic, and from what we know about how the mentally-ill were feared and treated, I believe that Mohammed feared being put-away by his own Arab people, and that claiming to be a prophet was the way he avoided this fate.  Unfortunately, the death and misery that this sinister manual of wickedness and death has brought upon the earth’s people will be his lasting legacy for years to come.
