The Grand Deception of Islam as a Religion of Peace
American Thinker ^ | 3 Jun, 2025 | Janet Levy

Posted on 06/03/2025 4:18:52 AM PDT by MtnClimber

A 2017 book lays out in detail the Koran’s reality, something that’s important for everyone to know as Muslims expand their presence throughout the West.

A database search of 12 million books published in the 300 years before 9/11 reveals only one instance of the phrase “Islam is a religion of peace.” It appears in fiction and is spoken by Ayatollah Mahmoud Haji Daryaei, an Iranian leader in Tom Clancy’s thriller Executive Orders.

But the dangerous notion that Islam is peaceful has been so frequently reiterated by world leaders, clerics, and the liberal media-academia complex that it has taken on the status of COWDUNG—a facetious near-acronym for ‘conventional wisdom of the dominant group.’

Denying 1,400 years of history, these apologists would have us believe that extremist Islam is a perversion. Their sanitized version presents Islam’s prime motif of violent jihad—or religious war against infidels—as an individual’s “inner struggle” for spiritual growth.

To expose these falsehoods—which have circled the globe before the truth even got out of bed—conservative authors Tommy Robinson and Peter McLoughlin wrote Mohammed’s Koran: Why Muslims Kill for Islam. First published in 2017, the bestselling book saw a second edition and faced an Amazon ban in 2019. (Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and many terror manuals remain available.)

In light of Robinson’s early release from a British prison a few days ago, an overview of this important book seems fitting. The authors assert that the key to understanding what the Koran signifies to Muslims is naskh, an interpretive guideline indicating that in the Koran, what comes after negates what precedes it. Later verses remain valid even if they contradict earlier ones.

By presenting the Koran in reverse chronological order, the authors allow us to see how quotes on peace and the absence of compulsion in religion that Islam’s apologists

The oft-quoted ayat as-sayf—or Verse of the Sword (Koran 9:5) from the chapter titled Surat at-Tawbah—which sanctions the massacre of infidels, comes from the latter phase of Mohammed’s life. It abrogates 120 earlier ayats, including Koran 2:256, which speaks of “no compulsion in religion.”

I have seen lists of America’s 10 worst presidents. George W. Bush is usually not on such a list. But I’d put him as one of our worst three.

After 9/11 Bush II had a unique chance to denounce, and crush, radical Islam. It was a Pearl Harbor moment. And the entire civilized world was with us. Bush II instead went in the opposite direction.

So here we are. Either Islam quietly wins over time, or a terrible bloodbath is coming. Thanks to Bush II, those are the only two possibilities.

It is a violent world-domination ideology cleverly disguised as a religion.

I foolishly went along with Dubya after he promoted that nonsense in the wake of 9/11.

I understand why he did it—he wanted cooperation from Muslim-dominated governments in places like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. But he should’ve just pushed for their cooperation without spreading the “Religion of Peace” crap.

How Islam progressively takes over countries By Mark Ellis

In Dr. Peter Hammond’s book, “Slavery, Terrorism and Islam,” he documents the way Muslims slowly develop a presence in various countries and as their population numbers build, become more aggressive and assertive about exercising Sharia law.

“Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life,” Dr. Hammond notes in his book. “Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.”

Their takeover of a country, what Dr. Hammond refers to as “Islamization,” begins when the population of Muslims reaches a critical mass, and they being to agitate for various privileges.

Open, free, democratic societies are particularly vulnerable. “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,” he notes.

This is how it works, according to Dr. Hammond:

When the Muslim population remains under 2% in a country, they will be seen primarily as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the current situation 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%

As the Muslim population reaches 2% to 5%, they begin to recruit from ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, within prisons and 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,” Dr. Hammond notes. “For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food” and increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature such food on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is happening in:

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

Soon they begin to apply pressure to allow Sharia law within their own communities (sometimes ghettos).

“When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions,” Dr. Hammond notes. “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.” These tensions are seen on a regular basis in: Guyana — Muslim 10% Riots in Pakistan, 2013 Riots in Pakistan, 2013 India — Muslim 13.4% Israel — Muslim 16% Kenya — Muslim 10% Russia — Muslim 15%

The violence increases when the Muslim population reaches 20%. “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%, persecution of non-believing “infidels” rises significantly, including sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia law as a weapon, and Jizya, a 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 “infidels,” and move toward a 100% Muslim society, which has been experienced to some degree 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%

A 100% Muslim society will theoretically usher in their version of peace — 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%

Dr. Hammond observes this Islamic ideal is seldom realized. “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.”

“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,” he states.

Dr. Hammond is also concerned by demographic trends. “Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population,” he observes. “But their birth rates dwarf 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.”

Dr. Peter Hammond is a missionary who has pioneered evangelistic outreaches in the war zones of Mozambique, Angola and Sudan. Peter has travelled hundreds of thousands of miles to deliver Bibles to persecuted Christians in Africa and Eastern Europe.

He is the Founder and Director of Frontline Fellowship, the Founder and Chairman of Africa Christian Action, the Director of the Christian Action Network and the Chairman of The Reformation Society and the author of numerous missions-related books. He is the Editor of both Frontline Fellowship News and Christian Action.

Peter has developed the Biblical Worldview Seminar and Great Commission Course to mobilize churches to comprehensively apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of life and to fulfill the Great Commission.

Peter was born in Cape Town and brought up in Rhodesia – now Zimbabwe. He converted to Christ in 1977, worked in Scripture Union and Hospital Christian Fellowship, served in the South African Defense Force and studied at Baptist Theological College, Cape Town. He also earned a Doctorate in Missiology. For more information about his book, go here.

IMHO, Bush Jr always wanted to appease the Dim media that always was going to call him Hitler no matter what he did to the goat humpers who attacked us.

If he had boldly stated that our response to 9/11 is to kill however many people in Afghanistan and Pakistan until both of those countries surrender, the war in Afghanistan wouldn't have lasted nearly as long. And it would have taught other nations not to promote the death to America cells like Al Qaeda as much as Afghanistan and Pakistan did.

And we shouldn't have let the media define the war with whatever goal post they declare -- in that case it was that we hadn't gotten Bin Laden yet. As a reminder, we didn't get the emperor of Japan, but Japan surrendered to us in WW2 and nobody today says Japan beat the U.S. That's the reason it was 80 years between Pearl Harbor and 9/11 -- everybody paying attention learned that attacking us is unhealthy.

Do you understand we're in spiritual warfare???

"MUSLIMS" ....A mass of people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet.

And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government!

Can American citizens be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves ???

BTW - That first Muslim president Obama said he "had a plan for America" .... and it was not for our good!

Anyone who has studied the Crusades knows all they need to know about Islam.
Unfortunately, not enough have studied, so we will have to do it again.

n bookstores is a very expensive, beautifully bound in green leather Holy Koran. If one was going to give a gift to someone, like a president, a senator, a judge, a Pope or any other high "ranking" person in society, it is what you would buy.

Every page was in Arabic on the left side, and English on the right. The English side was just like the other modern ones sold in the USA, all the "bad" stuff left out so one would think it is a "religion of peace".

I have a non Muslim friend who is fluent in spoken and read Arabic. I asked him to come to the bookstore with me, because I was too cheap to buy the book.

I pointed out the sura I mentioned, and a few others, plus there were some he was familiar with he wanted to check. (he had spent quite a few years in Saudi-Arabia as a civilian). I have never seen the expression that came on his face before. Absolute shock.

He had only seen true versions before too. He said, "My God, they are two different books". I remember those exact words. I don't remember the rest of his comments word for word, but he went on to say, that this explains why so many people in our government have the wrong idea about Islam.

Every non Muslim (infidel) needs to read a true translation of the Holy Koran. Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening.

Western leaders make the mistake of thinking everyone else in the world thinks the way we do and is motivated by the same things.

Most Muslims in particular, don't and aren't.

IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE.

Agreed. I read the Koran and some hadiths shortly after 9/11 and it was a very violent book. I can't remember if it was the gutenberg version. Or it may have been that all translations were more accurate before the post-9/11 brainwashing of Islam being a religion of peace.

I was surprised that it was so violent. I went into thinking I'd cut Islam a little slack like I'd like non-Christians to cut Christianity some slack if they read the Bible. For example, don't judge Christianity because some Bible heroes like David sinned both sexually and had a guy killed -- it's about Jesus not David. And I also wouldn't judge Islam if I read in the Koran that Muhammad was an evil person before some conversion moment (think about how we treat Paul as a hero).

I was thoroughly surprised at how violent Muhammad himself both was and taught his followers to be. There was no "Old Testament" divided away from the "New Testament" (like us Christians setting aside some doctrine from the Old Testament's eye-for-an-eye to be replaced by the New Testament's turn-the-other-cheek). In the Koran itself Muhammad said it was cool to rape non-Muslim women as long as they're not Muslim, not married to a Muslim, your right hand possesses her (which I think means she's not someone else's sex slave), and she's old enough to menstruate. At another point when his followers, in a similar manner, said that they'd been away from their wives for a while and wanted to rape the captured men (treat them as eunuchs). Muhammad gave them permission to do so (they can't be Muslim, your right hand possesses them, you have to be the aggressor not the passive, which I think in modern gay lingo means be top not bottom, and by the way there was no age restriction like there is for raping women).

Islam is the best religion for murderers and rapists who want to pretend that God digs that stuff.
