Everyone seems to be scratching their heads now trying to figure out the difference between a moderate Muslim or an extreme or radicalized Muslim because all the talking heads seem to agree that moderate Muslims are good but radical or extreme Muslims are bad. So how do we know who is a good Muslim and who is a extreme Muslim?
Let's go back to the beginning of Islam. How did Mohammed spread his teachings? He gathered a small army together and began attacking Arab tribes, one tribe at a time. When he won the battle he would force the other tribe to convert to Islam and join his army or they would be killed. If they joined they would share in the booty of conquest with Mohammed's band, if they refused they would be killed.
Mohammed eventually united all of the Arab tribes under the banner of Islam which gave him a very large army that was comparable to the armies of nations surrounding the Arabs. Then they were equals to the other nations around them.
Mohammed began attacking neighboring countries with his army. He would cross into another country with this army and wage war. Then when the time was right he would attack a second country etc.
Eventually Muslim armies controlled lands from Portugal and Morocco all the way to Indonesia. Each time he crossed into another country, it was an act of war. We call that invasion, it was not a friendly act. Mohammed did not send apostles as Jesus did--he send armies. Every invasion was an act of violence. There was nothing peaceful about it. That is how Islam began and no one can dispute that simple fact.
So do you tell a moderate Muslim from an extreme Muslim?
I really recommend the book Catastrophic Failure by Stephen Coughlin. It’s a massive 800 pages, but nearly half of that is appendices and footnotes. No other book comes near to the accuracy of explaining Islam from Islam’s point of view. And no other book comes near to exposing the disinformation campaign put on by the Muslim Brotherhood, in an effort to drop our guard.
It only costs $6 on Kindle, and I read it on my smart phone.
Excellent post. One of the best definations of Islam I have heard.
Thank you for the recommendation. I wrote it down in my little books to read notebook. I have Kindle too, and I love it.
IMHO, that polling reflects their view of violence as acceptable since it's totally in accordance with the "principles" of their "religion".
In my reading and discussions with Muslims I found they believe Jesus to be; though not the Son of God, to be a Muslim and second only to Mohammad as a prophet. Further;they believe that on the Last Day Jesus will return from Paradise in command of the “righteous armies of Islam” to destroy the infidel armies, and put to death all non believers on Earth who will not submit to Islam.
Here is where, I believe, they meet the qualifications for Christian End Time belief. Muslims believe that Allah's personal Representative, “the Maddi”, will come in the last time and be Islam's leader on Earth. Mohammad will answer to him. Jesus will answer to Mohammad. Between them they will organize a world Caliphate, and annihilate all unbelievers. This persecution will allow only for conversion or death, no alternative tax and second class citizenship this time.
Their Jesus is ,of course, a False Christ , Mohammad a False Prophet, and the Maddi an Anti Christ.
Popular Christian End Time thinking till now has seen an Anti Christ of ethnic European background and the Great Apostasy, or falling away, as New Age or Eastern Religions.
It may well to rethink this. Islam has been Christianity's
most mortal enemy since the 7th century. It has conquered half the world over time by both constant war, or by over whelming immigration. Indonesia fell to immigration, not the sword. Islam has at one time or another occupied a third of Europe. Now we see millions of Muslims moving into a demographically dying Europe.
They are no longer at the Gates of Vienna, they are inside the gates of most Countries in Western Europe, and are a majority in some cities already practicing Sharia Law. Malmo Sweden is an example.
Yes; we have very good reason to believe something Demonic is at work. The Church, not to mention the general population, need to wake up fast.
Keep up your good work, and may God continue to bless you.
It looks like we are being set up for a war at some time.
As (False) Christ, he will answer directly to the (False) Prophet,Mohammad, who will answer directly to Allah's personal representative on Earth,the Maddi(Anti Christ). The Maddi will lead the establishment of a world wide Islamic Caliphate, over which he will rule.
In the 7th century Christianity, Islam was first thought to be a Christian heresy because of it's End Time beliefs. In fact currently the Islamic State in the Levant (ISAL) believe they are now engaged in preparing for this Caliphate. The Last Day and End Time beliefs, as described here must be believed by all Muslims.
Islam will be “a religion of Peace” only after all Human beings submit or no longer exist.
