A Lesson in Islam: Religion of Peace?

As I watched and recounted the events of September 11, 2001 and looked at my list of other terrorist attacks over the last 4 decades I thought about all the people involved in those events.

I thought of the victims and families who were involved in the Iran hostage crisis of 1979; attacks on the Beirut Embassy 1983; Kuwait Embassy 1983; TWA flight 847 1985; LaBelle Discotheque 1986; Pan Am Flight 103 1988; Khobar Towers 1996; USS Cole 2000, and too many others to list who had fallen victim at the hand of evil Islamic radicals.  I wondered how many of those people and their families had perhaps realized the truth– that we are not facing an enemy of “a handful of radical Islamists” but rather countless numbers of them who will stop at nothing to gain total world domination.

I wonder how many of the survivors have tried to warn their families, friends and America?  Since September 11, 2001 there have been countless attacks by Islamists around the world, and thousands of lives killed including American soldiers and coalition forces.

I’m not sure of the day or the hour when it completely made sense to me what I was witnessing, but when I did I knew that I could no longer be silent.  I could not allow myself to be bullied by liberals and those who believe in the folly of political correctness.  I had crossed over the line from “ignorance” to “knowledge” and it was time to share with my small part of the world everything I had come to know.

I had found the answer to my question: Why would followers of Islam want to commit vile and savage acts on any human being and why would they murder in the name of Allah”?   I began to Google it.  One site would lead to another and then another.  I began to research and ask questions and I soon realized that there was already a whole network of Americans who had been asking the same questions.  American organizations were already formed with the purpose of educating us on the truth about Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood and the many offshoots and long-reaching arms of the Muslim Brotherhood.

One of the most important books I’ve read is “Milestones” written by Sayyid Qutb who was the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood during the 1940’s and 1950’s and considered one of the most influential Muslims in the last century.  Qutb authored 24 books and is best known for his work on the political and social role of Islam (as outlined in Milestones).  Many of Qutb’s writings were curriculum used in a number of schools and Universities where he helped educate/indoctrinate young impressionable minds.

Sayyid Qutb greatly disapproved of the culture of the United States and many believe he greatly influenced many Islamists including Osama Bin Laden and the Muslim Brotherhood.  He wrote Milestones while in prison where he moved away from the idea of a political system run by dictatorship to one of  ‘no government’.   He argued that Islam was a means to change society and remove all forms of government and rule except for servitude of Allah.  He said this would be accomplished by preaching and jihad–first throughout the Islamic countries and then throughout the world. So while many Muslims will state that jihad is defensive rather than offensive, it is clear that one of their most influential leaders in recent history believed that the path to a true Islamic world would be to eliminate everything non-Muslim–by any means necessary.

I continued to read other books on the subject of Islam.  I began to listen to radio programs and interviews with people who had once been Muslim but had found freedom in the United States and were now fighting to keep America free from Islam and Sharia Law.

I also bought a Qur’an and began reading.

I knew there were more than 100 verses that called for jihad against Jews, Christians, and all non-believers—but I wanted to read them for myself and the more I searched the more I found.

I was astounded at all I learned by researching history and current events and I couldn’t believe the mainstream media was not reporting any of this.  It became undeniable that the most radical form of Islam is spreading worldwide right under our noses–not as a “religion of peace” but as a political force. Today the Middle East is in violent turmoil day and night and it does not appear that democracy will prevail in Egypt because the Muslim Brotherhood is now running the country.

The Muslim Brotherhood’ motto is:  “Allah is our objective.  The Prophet is our leader.  Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way.  Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”  These are the people running Egypt now!

In November 2001, just after the 9/11 attacks American authorities worked diligently to stop all illegal funding to groups with terrorist connections.  In Switzerland authorities conducted a raid of Youssef Nada’s home.  Nada was the director of the Al-Taqwa Bank of Lugano, which had association with the Muslim Brotherhood.  Authorities found a 14-page document known by the Brotherhood as “The Project”.  The document features a 12-point strategy titled, “Establish an Islamic Government on Earth”.  The document was penned in 1982– meaning that by the time it was discovered in 2001 the Muslim Brotherhood had already been implementing their strategy for over two decades.

Flash forward to 2012, with the Muslim Brotherhood being welcomed into private meetings with Barack Obama–yet the president shuns and is too busy to meet with our ally Benjamin Netanyahu.

Now, we have been told what most of us believed:  that the attack on our Embassy in Libya was a pre-planned terrorist attack.  And yet the man I consider to be the ‘Enemy Within’, Barack Obama, wants Americans to continue believing it was due to a short video about Islam.

As I type this I understand that Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan are beginning protests to stop ‘freedom of speech’ in the United States.  They are saying we/Americans should not be able to say anything that ‘hurts the religious feelings’ of Muslims.

Really?  To that I say if you do not wish to live under our Constitution of the United States, by all means please move to a country that embraces your beloved Sharia Law!

It is evident by all we have seen throughout history and especially over the past few decades that the intent of those who wrote “The Project”–and those who subscribe to radical Islam today–have every intent of conquering the West and, eventually, the entire world.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist; when I’m unsure of something I seek out the cold, hard facts and regarding Islam, I found them.  I checked all of my sources and discounted anything that I found less than credible and genuine and I still had more than enough information to know that we in America and the rest of the free world have a real problem.

As my Dad always says, where there is smoke, there is fire.  Without a doubt the fire of radical Islam is burning and it’s up to us to fight it with all we have, lest the day will come when we are outnumbered and unable to keep our beautiful and free U.S.A.

And for the people who want you to believe that there are similarities between Islam and Christianity I would like to point out these two (major) differences.

Jesus said in Matthew 10:14: “And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town.”

Muhammed said in Bukhari 9.84.57:  “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.”
