The War Against Islam
By: John Rosenstern
In response to the Islamic terrorist attack against the United States of America on September 11, 2001 President, George W. Bush, Attorney General, John Ashcroft, the FBI, and our State Department began a campaign to fight “A War Against Terrorism.” In their call to “defend freedom” President Bush, Secretary of the State, Colin Powell, and FBI Director, George Mueller spoke at FBI headquarters to announce America’s new effort to eradicate terrorism within America’s borders.
A NEW WAR!
In his introductory remarks Attorney General Ashcroft said, “Terrorists live in the shadows, under the cover of darkness. We will shine the light of justice on them. Our global manhunt will track the trail of terror and leave no place to hide.” President Bush took the podium and parroted those remarks and also introduced our new attack on terrorism, “I’m pleased to be back at the FBI to unveil a new line of attack on our war against terrorism, the most-wanted-terrorist list. Terrorists try to operate in the shadows. They try to hide. But we’re going to shine the light of justice on them. We list their names, we publicize their pictures, we rob them of their secrecy. Terrorism has a face, and today we expose it for the world to see.” He further explained the scope and the target of this newly declared war, “I want to thank the American people for understanding that we are engaged in a new war, a war that will require a new way of thinking . . . that we’ve got allies around the world helping us close the net . . . our war is against networks and groups, people who coddle them, people who try to hide them, people who fund them. This is our calling. This is the calling of the United States of America, the most free nation in the world, a nation built on fundamental values; that rejects hate, rejects violence, rejects murderers, rejects evil. And we will not tire. We will not relent. It is not only important for the homeland security of America that we succeed, it is equally as important for generations of Americans who have yet (to) be born.”
RELIGION?
“Now is the time to draw the line in the sand against the evil ones, and this government is committed to doing just that. I also want to remind my fellow Americans, as we round up the evildoers, as we’re – as we look for those who might harm our fellow Americans, we must remember not to violate the rights of the innocent. Our war is not against a religion. Our war is against evil. There are thousands of Muslim Americans who love America just as much as I do, and we will respect their rights. We will not let the terrorists cause decay of fundamental rights that make our nation unique. As a matter of fact, what they’ll find out is that our nation has responded in a way they never envisioned. We’re united. People of all faiths, all religions, all areas of our country are united in the common effort to stamp out evil where we find it. It is the right thing to do.”
WILLFUL OR IGNORANT?
The lack of understanding, willful or ignorant, our former President exhibited by his words when he declared and launched a war against, terrorism. That’s about as ridiculous as waging a war against accidents because they are caused by cars? Terrorism is a strategy in Islamic warfare. The goal of Muslim’s is to win the world for Allah. Muslim’s are to use the strategy of terror as a means to prevail in war. A popular Hadith says:
THE RELIGION OF ISLAM
Bukhari (52:220) – Allah’s Apostle said . . . “I have been made victorious with terror.”
I know this may sound entirely controversial and not politically correct but our war is not against “Terrorism” as much as it is against the religion of Islam. Whether it’s 9/11, or Ramszi Yousef’s attempt to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993; to Major Hasan and his jihadi murder of 13 American soldiers at Fort Hood; or the recent attempt by Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up a Northwestern airliner on Christmas day with nearly 300 passengers, as it approached Detroit, Michigan. The common denominator is the religion of Islam. The Qur’an inspires hatred for anything non-Muslim.
THE LIE!
When Islamic nations and followers display intolerance it is called "culture" by the world. When the West displays intolerance of any form it is called discrimination. We have allowed a double standard to develop and, thereby, placed ourselves in a submissive posture to the demands of Islamic expansionism. Political correctness has silenced truth and has distorted facts. For example, improper comparisons are made without correction, as in the consistent rebuttal by Muslims, and the LAME STREAM MEDIA, that Timothy McVeigh was a Christian terrorist. Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh, did not confess to comiting his act of terror in the name of Christianity. It was the likes of Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam (NOI) in a speech at a Chicago mosque referred to how the mass media did not state that terrorist, Timothy McVeigh was a Christian; and atheist Dan Barker also popularized this insidious lie. In fact, in an article by United Kingdom’s, The Guardian about McVeigh’s execution, we find this reference:
CHRISTIAN?
“In his letter, McVeigh said he was an agnostic but that he would ‘improvise, adapt, and overcome’, if it turned out there was an afterlife. ‘If I’m going to hell,’ he wrote, ‘I’m gonna have a lot of company.‘” (“McVeigh faces day of reckoning.” The Guardian June 11, 2001). Timothy McVeigh viewed himself as agnostic.
THE TRUE TEACHING OF THE RELIGION OF ISLAM
We must not be ignorant to the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith’s. The founder and progenitor of the Muslim faith was a perfect example of one who fought everyone who didn’t believe his message and his god Allah. He strove against Jews, Christians, and Pagans with war. Upon Muhammad’s death his followers took his barbarous ways of killing, stealing, and raping of women and sought to Islamize the world. Their goal hasn’t changed. Only until recently, has Islam been able to expand again. Sadly it doesn’t need a conventional war machine to subdue its opponents. It only needs our leaders calling Islam “peaceful“, or as Barack Obama said, “Islam is a great religion.” How many young admirers of our President have been fulfilling their curiosity by visiting Mosques? Our war should be against the religion of Islam. This war should be one (won!) of understanding and exposing what Islam teaches. Islam is teaching Muslim’s to hate Jews and Christian’s. Do not be misled to think there are any similarities between Judaism and Christianity with Islam. Do not be misled to think that there can be harmony with Muslim’s. Their teachings do not allow true peace as we view peace. Their part-time friendship is only a strategy to gain power and influence to enable them to create their kind of peace, Islam prevailing everywhere! In the end they want you to serve them and their god Allah. It is their teachings that say:
WHAT THE KORAN TEACHES
Qur’an (5:51) – “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Qur’an (5:80) – “You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide.”
Qur‘an (3:28) – “Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah. . . . ”
Qur’an (3:118) – “O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people, they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred.”
Qur’an (9:23) – “O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers.”
Qur’an (53:29) – “Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.”
Qur’an (3:85) – “And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.”
The examples that you have listed from the Quran don't support your claim that they are haters and want to destroy Christians. You, like most of us Westerners stretch out the meaning to make it be what you want it to be.
Every section or group of people on this earth has bad (and some evil) members. You can go back to the Pharisees and Religious Council of Bible days - just because many of them loused up things and misused the word does not mean that all of those who claimed God at that time were bad or that the religion itself was evil.
I am a Christian and I agree with your premise about terrorism. In fact, I was suprised to see we agree on that. But whatever religion a man believes in, he should staunchly fight for it. But, just like we don't uphold those who destroy and kill abortionists, the ones who perpetrate evil under the banner of false religions are renegades too.
You and I both know that Satan is the enemy, not people.
