Let's see if I can make this obvious, even to you...Show me where Christ commanded his followers to kill those who decided not follow him....Now show me where in the Koran it states to slay those who are considered infidels....
Take the time to understand that although the Christian religion has been used in many ways to commit atrocities, the dictates of the religion do not support the actions of those who did. That is why there was a reformation. Many understood that their religion was hijacked to serve an evil purpose. Many died to overcome that evil.
You will be hard pressed to see a reformation in Islam for one simple fact; the Jihadist are doing what their holy book commands. A reformation in Islam will require the rewriting of the text it is founded upon.
Do you not see the connection? If you do not, please explain why over 90% of the conflicts occurring on the face earth today involve followers of Islam? Explain why over 2,000,000 people have been killed in Africa at the hands of followers of Islam? Explain why Islam is at war with any culture, religion, or nation that refuses to adopt it?
We hear it said: “September 11 changed America forever.” Less often do we hear a coherent explanation of what, exactly, changed. What changed, in fact, was that for the first time in American history we have been forced to confront Islamic militancy as it has assaulted the rest of the world for almost 14 centuries.
In THE SWORD OF THE PROPHET, the reader receives the unvarnished truth about the rise of Islam and the patterns set by its founder, Muhammad; the historical meaning of jihad against the (non-Muslim) “infidel” that we see today in the al-Qaeda terror network; the broad sweep of the global military, political, moral, and spiritual struggle that faces us; and what we must do if we wish to survive. The sober, factual, and contextual presentation found in this book is essential. Every person owes it to himself or herself to know the real score of the post-9/11 world – and this invaluable volume is the place to start.
