A Perfect Portrait of Islam Painted by Progressive Pundits and Media

Hat tip goes to FBer Robert Moss who posted this pertinent and pointed cartoon about the true motives of the political-militaristic-cultural-religious system called Islam.

 

Taqiyya ("al Taqiyya") is the Muslims' license to lie to infidels in order to camouflage Islam's holy war strategy (jihad) to conquer the world. (1) The main stream media and  many politicians both Democrat and Republican and even some so-called Protestant "Christians" in the United States are complicit in helping Islamists in spreading the lie about the peacefulness and innocuous intentions of Islam. Nothing could be further from the truth.

More on Oklahoma Domestic Islamic Terrorist Jah 'Keem Yisrael (Alton Nolen)

The following is a YouTube video by Bill Whittle, which is a great follow-up to and adds additional insight to my post of September 28th, Did You Know Alton Nolen (aka Jah'Keem Yisrael), the Beheader, is a Muslim?    .

The following is a YouTube description of the video A Beheading in Oklahoma:

It was not just a "workplace incident." The brutal beheading of an American woman by a radicalized Muslim is just the latest in a series of un- or under-reported atrocities deemed unfit for the American people by the Mainstream Media. In this horrifying analysis, Bill Whittle describes the events in Oklahoma and discusses WHY the Leftist Media doesn't want stories like this being told.

 

America needs to wake up quickly to the danger of  not only foreign Islamic jihadist terrorism, but domestic Islamic jihadist terrorism. Alton Nolen was a domestic Islamic terrorist.

 

Our terrorist-appeaser and Islam-shill President and his government public relations (propaganda service) agency, the Main Stream Media, are of absolutely no help in getting the truth about Islam and Islamic terrorism out to the public. Indeed, they are quite the opposite. They deny adamantly that Islam is not evil or anti-American in is orientation. They do not discuss the fact that Islam is a political, militaristic, and religious system seeking to dominate and control the world and to destroy America and Israel. Moreover, Islam definitely is not a 'peaceful religion' far from it.

 





Did You Know Alton Nolen (Jah'Keem Yisrael), the Beheader, is a Muslim?

Interestingly, after my most recent blog series of posts about the Terror of Islam, we have an illuminating and demonstrable example of the influence of Islam and Islamic terrorism on one of our fellow Americans. As noted by NewsBusted.org in their article, Press Using Older Photos of Alton Nolen Over Recent One in Muslim Garb, the incident also shows the gross bias in not reporting the truth about Islam by the main street media. The Media refused to acknowledge that Nolen was even a Muslim, when his own Facebook account shows the following photo... 



Alton Nolen aka Jah'Keem Yisrael, the Muslim, and the Beheader

Nolen, after being fired from his job, took out his anger on two helpless women at the company where he formerly worked. He allegedly beheaded one woman and was trying to do the same to another before he was stopped after being wounded by another company employee.

Will our foolish, Progressive agenda-driven politically correct government again claim that this was merely an act 'workplace violence' without consideration as to its likely motivation? Will our government ignore this warning of the potential radicalization and danger to American citizens of those who adhere to Islam?

The Terror of Islam, Part 4

This is part 4 of a series.

I recently received an email which encapsulated the threat that emanates from Islam. Islam is not the innocuous ‘religion of peace’ that our politically correct and corrupt politicians make believe that it is. As stated in an earlier blog post, Islam is a political, militaristic, and religious system. Its creed and principles are generally antithetical to our American culture and values. They are also in stark contrast to our Judeo-Christian heritage.

Could the following two charts be a big component of fundamental transformation and change that  then candidate Barack Hussain Obama promised to the many low information voters who eventually elected and re-elected him President? Obama’s election was much to the dismay and chagrin of conservative Americans and others aware of negative consequences further implementation of the progressive leftist agenda.

Islamic Infiltration and Influence

Just as bad as or worse than a spreading disease epidemic like Ebola, Islam and its radicalized elements and adherents are gaining a foothold in the United States.

 

Masquerading Mosques

Islam’s so called houses of worship, as in the Middle East, are often the breeding ground of terrorists and are centers of terrorist  and subversive activities. They are mushrooming in numbers and influence. They are financed by Middle East oil interests. They are now present in nearly every state. Our porous, poorly secured borders, which appears to be the  purposeful policy of our President are open doors to Islamists from foreign nations seeking to cause America harm. Many Muslim students overstay their visas and are likely to joining the growing number of Islamic extremists in Mosques and .

 

Wake-Up Warning

I know that what I have shared these last few days is not politically correct. I know that it not in sync with the policy and purposes of the current Administration in Washington, D.C. But I know that what has been relayed is true. You can call me am Islamophobe, or a racist, if you choose, but you have been warned. Islam is an enemy. The enemy is now within our borders. Like the Ebola virus it must be stopped. People must be aware of Islam and its radical adherents and  followers' potential deadly, and their real dastardly deeds and plans.

I recently received an email which encapsulates the threat that emanates from Islam. Islam is not the innocuous religion of peace’ that our politically correct and corrupt politicians make believe that it is. As stated in an earlier blog post, Islam is a political, militaristic, and religious system. Its creed and principles are generally antithetical to our American culture and values. They are also in stark contrast to our Judeo-Christian heritage.

Here is more evidence of Islamic infiltration in our government and an interesting footnote to my blog post which I entered yesterday is this article I came across today, which is dated 9/16/2014, “Controversial Muslim Brotherhood DHS Adviser Mohamed Elibiary Let Go Amid Allegations of Cover Up.” The more I find out about Islam and the terrorism it fosters, the more I think it like the Ebola virus. Both are deadly and must be checked, otherwise there will be an epidemic of fatalities. You can’t ignore Ebola; you can’t ignore Islam and the terrorism it breeds.

Read the following content based primarily on emails I recently received and contemplate its haunting and sober message.

(The following analysis) is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to finish. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities. Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:

Theologically – no, because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia

Religiously - no, because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256) (Koran)

Scripturally - no, because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.

Geographically - no, because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no, because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no, because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no, because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34)

Intellectually - no, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no, because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no, because when we declare 'one nation under God,' the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as such.

Therefore, (in light of the above and) after much study and deliberation, perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish, it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand.

Can a Muslim be a good soldier? Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire at Ft. Hood and Killed 13. He is a good Muslim!!!

Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

“Slavery is the daughter of darkness: an ignorant people is a blind instrument of its own destruction.”  --- Simón Bolívar

Isn't this flat-out scary? The foxes are now officially living in the hen house (as we learned yesterday about the Islamist Muslim Brothers who have infiltrated the White House and key agencies of government like the Department of Homeland Security). Now ask me why I am very concerned! Do you feel okay with this? How can this happen and when will Americans wake up? We are quiet while our nation is being drastically changed (radically and fundamentally transformed).

If you are not concerned, (then Ignore the content of this and previous blog posts) and go to bed tonight...sleep well Otherwise, pass this information on, get the word out! We have go to have some relief starting with the 2014 Elections. Doesn't this make you feel safe and happy about your country and this administration?

If this doesn’t wake people up...nothing will. And if you think that 75% of Muslims are peaceful, guess again. They are just sitting back waiting for the word from the other 25%. They all use the same "Bible" and they are just one big family with the same mindset.

THIS ISN'T VERY PROMISING... Well America will you wake up in time or will your children grow up in another world? For everyone who wanted change here we go... How about this for change?

Look at who has been permitted to infiltrate the inner sanctum of the White House.

Arif Alikhan - Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Mohammed Elibiary - Homeland Security Adviser

Rashad Hussain - Special Envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC)

 

Salam al-Marayati -  Obama Adviser and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council and is its current executive director

Imam Mohamed Magid - Obama's Sharia Czar from the Islamic Society of North America

Eboo Patel - Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships

 

Well, my fellow Americans, today we are letting the fox guard the henhouse. The wolves will be herding the sheep! [NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant?... Just wondering.]  Now Devout Muslims are being appointed to critical Homeland Security positions? Doesn't this make you feel safer already? That should make the United States much safer, huh!! Was it not "Devout Muslim men" that flew planes into U.S. buildings only 10 years ago? We must never forget this. Was it not a Devout Muslim man who killed 13 at Fort Hood? (He killed "from within" - don't forget that.)

The Terror of Islam, Part 1

I recently received an email which encapsulates the threat that emanates from Islam. Islam is not the innocuous “religion of peace’ that some of our politically correct and corrupt politicians make believe that it is. Read the following and contemplate its message: (The highlights are mine.)

 

What Islam Is Not:



Islam, not the Chinese nor the Russians, represents the greatest threat to the world and might be the fulfillment of the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible. This is very disturbing for a Christian to read, but read it and be educated. The following content is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components. Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here's how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be mostly regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.This is the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. . Any non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections in:

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and is on-going in:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrassas are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

'Before I was nine, I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my     brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. --- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrassas. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.

Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates are higher than the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.

An Exposé on the ‘Religion of Peace’ After Its Part in the Boston Marathon Bombing

The FreedomOutpost.com sent me an excellent article, which included a great video by David Wood explaining Islam’s role in last week’s Boston Marathon Bombing. The name of this cogent article is, “Still Think Islam Is A Religion Of Peace? – You Won’t After Seeing This.” You can read the article by clicking on the title above.

The YouTube video is more than 10 minutes long, but if you want to understand more deeply Islam and Islam in America I encourage you to watch it carefully.

Why would our leaders say things like what the President has said about Islam?

I consider part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.

 

David Wood concluded in his video, “Well, If politicians and the (ABC, CNN, Fox, etc. – the Main Stream) media consider it their job to protect Islam from scrutiny, I guess business is a boomin’ (as in Boston Marathon Bombing).

The Boston Marathon Bombing Was an Act of War

The author of the Alternet.org and Salon.org article, “The Boston Bomber Brothers Got the Attention They Wanted, The suspects were nobodies who wanted to spread fear. A citywide lockdown and media hysteria helped them do that,” wrote, “So how should the authorities treat political crimes of this sort?” He referred to the recent terrorist attack as a “political crime.” In response to his article and his comment I penned the following.

  

The Boston Marathon Bombing was a blatant act of Islam-inspired terrorism. It is political only for the fact that Islam is a Political, Militaristic in addition to being a Religious system. The Boston Marathon Bombing was not merely a crime, but an act of war. These two brothers were combatants in this war of Islamic terrorism. They are enemies of the United States. They murdered three and maimed scores of Americans. This act of deliberate terrorism is vastly different than the crimes that occur daily in our overly permissive, gang-infested, welfare plantations led by liberal Democrat overseers in our major metropolitan areas.

Authorities should first recognize the fact that we are at war with Islamists worldwide. Second, we should secure our borders and enforce existing immigration laws. Thirdly, authorities need to be especially watchful to those recent legal or illegal immigrants who travel to Muslim enclaves for possible terrorist training. Fourth, deport any illegal alien who has been proven to be involved with any terrorist group within or outside of the United States.

Until we secure our borders and enforce our existing laws, until we identify and purge our country of illegal immigrants, who have connections to Islamist and other terrorist groups, we should not pursue any new so-called comprehensive immigration reform. We need to get our house in order first and foremost. In other words, no amnesty should be granted at this present critical time. The Boston Marathon Bombing is a wake up call!


This week America and the rest of the world were witnesses to an act of Islamic terrorism. The trial or tribunal that awaits the surviving Boston Marathon Bombing brother Tsarnaev should be quick and if guilty the accused should receive the death penalty. There seems to be a preponderance of evidence and witnesses to the violent act of terror perpetrated on American citizens in Boston.

Breaking News from Absurdistan: No Purple Heart for Ft. Hood Victims, Concerned Muslim Won’t Get Fair Trial

The foolish political correctness of the current occupier of the White House and his loony administration has worked its inevitable course. According to the video below (hat tip goes to the CableNewsGuy YouTube video) the Army will not award any Purple Heart Medals to the dead or the injured in the Fort Hood Massacre. 

Even though this was a terrorist attack in every respect by the now bearded Jihadist Muslim Major Hasan, the Army will not recognize the tragedy as such. It remains only an incident of ‘workplace violence’.  Thank you, unjust justice chief AG Eric Holder and thank you, Islamist-appeaser Barack Obama. When will we start again calling an act of Islamic terror and act of Islamic terror?

Islam the three stages of Jihad, Part 2

Putting Islam Under the Microscope

Americans, unfortunately, are woefully ignorant about the so-called ‘religion’ of Islam. First, it is not merely just another religion like Christianity, Judaism, or Buddhism. It is much more. Islam is a political, militaristic, and religious system. Second, the intent of Islam is to eventually rule, to subjugate the entire world. The video that will be the focus of this series of articles is called, “Three Stages of Islam.” It was created by AnsweringMuslims.com. It is extremely insightful and educational. It lays bare the purposes and the schemes of this cruel and insidious fascist system. It is every bit as pernicious, threatening, and evil as communism.

I would encourage every American to educate himself or herself on this vital subject. The fact is that Islam is the enemy of the United States. Like Marxism and secular humanism that have crept into our culture and taken over many of our institutions, including our education system and has corrupted it beyond recognition, Islam is the second battlefront we face. It is one we must engage. Islam has begun to infiltrate our culture and to indoctrinate Americans as to its real purpose and intent.

Watch and listen carefully to this video and read the transcripts of the video as they are presented here. You will be better equipped to confront the evil and to curtail its advance in this nation. Today we examine the first of the three stages of Jihad. You can see the first part of this series here.

Transcript 2:40 –9:18 minute mark on the video:

Barack Obama is quoted, “The partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t.”

STAGE ONE – STEALTH JIHAD

When Muslims are completely outnumbered and can’t possibly win in a physical confrontation with unbelievers, they’re commanded to promote peace with non-Muslims and to preach a message of tolerance.

For instance, when Mohammed and his followers were a persecuted minority in Mecca they criticized the beliefs of the polytheists, but they did so peacefully. The revelations Mohammed received during this time proclaimed a future judgment for unbelievers. Allah will one day punish those who rejected Mohammed, but in the meantime to each his own. Live and let live, co-exist.

A characteristic chapter from this period is

Qur’an 109 – Say: O unbelievers! I do not serve that which you serve, nor do you serve Him whom I serve: Nor am I going to serve that which you serve, nor are you going to serve Him whom I serve: You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.

Muslims in the West point to passages like this, as evidence that Islam is inherently peaceful. But we know from Muslim sources that while Mohammed was calling for religious tolerance in Mecca, he was already planning to conquer the world in the name of Allah. He even tried to lure pagans to Islam by promising them victory over the non-Arabs. Let’s look at a passage. One day some of his Mohammed’s tribesmen went to his uncle Abu Talib because they wanted to arrange a truce with Mohammed. They wanted Mohammed to stop criticizing their beliefs. Watch what happens.

At Tabari, Volume VI, p. 95 – Abu Talib sent for the messenger of Allah, and when he came in he said, “Nephew here are the shaykhs and nobles of your tribe. They have asked for justice against you, that you should desist in reviling our gods and they will leave you to your god.” “Uncle,” he said, “shall I not summon them to something which is better for them than their gods?” “What do you summon them to do?” he asked…

He replied, “I summon them to utter a saying through which the Arabs will submit to them and they will rule over the non-Arabs.” Abu Jahl said from among the gathering, “What is it, by your father? We will give you it and ten like it?” He answered, “That you should say, ‘There is no deity but Allah.”

Think about this for a moment. Mohammed is walking around Mecca calling for peace and tolerance. But behind closed doors, he tells the guys, ‘join me, and we’ll rule over the non-Arabs (Jews, Christians, Persians, etc.) These groups aren’t attacking Mohammed at all, and he is already planning to conquer them.

What does he need to subjugate the non-Muslims? He needs an army. So he asks his tribe to convert to Islam.

Now, how many times have we seen Muslim groups in the world today, calling for tolerance in public, but saying something completely different in private? It goes back to Mohammed.

One of the key features of Stage One (Jihad) is TAQIYYA – CONCEALING ISLAM’S TRUE INTENTIONS IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY. This was eventually made explicit in Surah 3:28.

Qur’an 3:28 – Let not the believers (in Islam) take disbelievers as friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security.

Muslims are not allowed to be friends, unless they are outnumbered and they feel they are in danger from a stronger adversary. That’s when Muslims are told to pretend to be friendly. One of Islam’s greatest scholars Ibn Kathir comments:

Ibn Kathir – “In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship outwardly but never inwardly.”

Abu Darda, one of Mohammed’s companions put it this way:

Abu Darda – “We smile in the face of some people althouh our hearts curse them.”

Another key feature of stage one is ‘victim status.’  Muslims like to pretend that Mohammed and his followers were persecuted in Mecca simply because they were Muslims. Total nonsense, they were persecuted for antagonizing the Meccans by mocking their beliefs. We read in

At-Tabari, Volume 6, pg. 93 – The messenger of Allah proclaimed Allah’s message openly and declared Islam publically to his fellow tribesman. When he did so, they did not withdraw from him or reject him in anyway … until he spoke of their gods and denounced them. When he did this, they took exception to it and united in opposition and hostility to him, except for those of them whom Allah had protected from error by means of Islam.

Notice that the pagans of Mecca had no problem with Mohammed preaching Islam. They became angry when he began attacking their beliefs and they had to put up with quite a bit. Listen to this description of what the pagans went through in their own words:

At-Tabari, volume 6, pg. 101 – “We have never seen the like of what we have endured from this man. He has derided our traditional values, abused our forefathers, reviled our religion, caused division among us, and insulted our gods. We have endured a great deal from him.”

Mohammed was condemning their beliefs and their values. He was causing division in the city. Not too extreme from a Western perspective. What’s interesting is that when the people of Mecca responded in kind and mocked Islam. Muslims said, “Oh, they’re persecuting us. What evil people, attacking us because of our beliefs. Double standards, one of the goals of the stealth Jihad stage is to give Islam a privileged status above other religions.

But Mohammed’s constant antagonism toward the Meccans did lead to actual persecution. And this persecution of the early Muslim community was the best thing that ever happened to Islam. When people heard of poor defenseless Muslims were being mistreated, they rushed to Mohammed’s aid. The Christians as Abyssinia, the Jews of Medina and various pagan groups all agreed, at one time or another, to protect Muslims from the mean bigoted Islamaphobes in Mecca.

Now keep in mind, Mohammed was already planning to conquer all of these people. But they did not know that, all they knew was that Muslims were being persecuted and they wanted to help.

Once Mohammed and his followers had formed enough alliances and were no longer at the mercy of the Meccans, the message of the Qur’an suddenly changed.

Tomorrow we will look at the second stage of Jihad – Defensive Jihad
