Former President speaks out against Muhammed: "THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST"

John Quincy Adams

[EternalVigilance]

John Quincy Adams wrote (reacting to the Russo-Turkish wars):

"In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE."

"Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus."

(Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Islam: The Mohammed Factor

If you condemn murder you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn thievery you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn rape you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn pedophilia you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn terrorism you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn Mohammed you condemn Islam.

Just nukes.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Doesn’t Genesis indicate that the people from Ishmael will be hated by all nations?

[EternalVigilance]

Yeah.

[EternalVigilance]

Good point.

[MeshugeMikey]

re ishmael:

He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”..

NUKE MECCA NOW!

Can you give us the full citation for that? That quote is awesome and I want to spread it around but like to have a full citation for the inevitable, “he didn’t say that”.

If you condemn Islam, you condemn the devil.

Don’t tell this to Obama, he’ll go through the white house and destroy all of Adams portraits.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It looks like a potent confluence of evils.

Not every Islamic person is Arab (a son of Abraham’s ungodly impatience) but many are, and that is where it started.

Also, in the middle of this wickedness, the amount of mercy shown by the Lord is yet impressive. To look at the Koran, one would think that all Islam would dissolve into rabid fury. Every incentive to do it is there. Stop and think that it does not happen to all Islam. It isn’t Islam that is keeping it from happening. The God who does, who isn’t the entity upon which Muslims have pasted the word Allah (a term that earlier was used for the biblical God, but got stolen like our word “gay” was stolen) should be feared.

If only Adams and those before him had had enough foresight to create a jobs program we wouldn’t be in the mess we are today. How could they not see that the Barbary pirates were just some unprivileged individuals who needed jobs rather than criticism of their religion?

[I still care]

Thanks for posting this.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well actually, God (the real God) does have a jobs program. It is called the job of worshiping Christ with all one’s mind, soul, and spirit.

I have shown the verses to several non Christians and they are always amazed. People are so non versed in the Bible nowadays: they have no idea it has a strong reputation as a book of Prophecy and that is one of its claims as a divine book.

Here they are, written thousands of years ago:

9 Then the angel of the LORD said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority.”
10 Moreover, the angel of the LORD said to her, “I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count.”

11 The angel of the LORD said to her further,
“Behold, you are with child,
And you will bear a son;
And you shall call his name Ishmael,
Because the LORD has given heed to your affliction

12 “He will be a wild donkey of a man,
His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand will be against him;
And he will live to the east of all his brothers.”

What's that quote about "Those who do not study history are condemned to repeat it"?

We have been warned many times over many centuries about this.

We ignore those warnings at our peril, indeed at the peril of our lives, and the lives of our children.
