The best way to begin to understand Islam is to look at its
History, Doctrines and Practices
History
Mohammed was born in Mecca in approximately 570AD and claimed to
receive “revelations” from God via the archangel Gabriel (Gibril) from 610 to
632 when he died. In Mecca he
made only a handful of converts to his new religion (mostly his own relatives).
Arabs were a mixture of polytheists and animists at that time. The Kaaba (the
big black cube at the centre of the Grand Mosque in Mecca today) was held as sacred and was a place
of pilgrimage for followers of a number of gods because of the meteorite that
is housed in it. One of those many gods was a moon deity called, “Allah”.
In 622AD Mohammed and his small band of followers migrated to
Yathrib (Medina)
where an Arab tribe had agreed to accept him as their prophet. Almost overnight
Mohammed went from being a nobody in Mecca to being the leader of an armed, ruthless
and violent band. This event is known as the “Hijra” and is used to mark the
start of the Muslim calendar. This is very significant; unlike, for example,
Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism or Sikhism, Islam’s calendar dates not from the
birth of the founder but from the time military and political power (both purely
earthly concerns, obviously) was first achieved.
For the next ten years Mohammed’s followers waged unremitting war
and terrorism upon everyone who wasn’t them – there’s no other way of putting
it. By Mohammed’s death in 632AD, the entire Arabian Peninsula had
been conquered and islamised, turned (for the first time in its history) into
one polity with centralised control.
Then came the first of three major waves of Islamic expansion, the
Arabian conquests:
THE END OF THE ANCIENT WORLD AND THE
COUNTDOWN TO THE CRUSADES
A story (Hadith) about the life of
Mohammed, by Bukhari: Towards the end of his life: “the Prophet of Allah wrote to Chosroes
(King of Persia),
Caesar (Emperor of Rome)[actually
Heraclius, Emperor of Byzantium], Negus (King of Abyssinia)
and every (other) despot inviting them to Allah, the Exalted” telling them, “embrace Islam and you will be
safe”.
What we call the “Middle
East” or “Muslim World” today was once mostly Christian with large
Jewish, Zoroastrian and Polytheist (Arab) minorities. How did this change?

into France.
·
732

forces finally stopped at Tours, Northern France, by Charles Martel, King of the Franks.
·
792
A.D. Muslim
forces launch a jihad (called by Hisham, Muslim ruler of Spain)
against France, but are turned back after
sacking several cities, killing many and enslaving more.
·
838-972
A.D. Muslim
forces take Frejus, near Cannes and use it
as a base to raid France and Northern Italy.
Christian pilgrims to Rome are frequently robbed, murdered and
kidnapped by Muslim slavers in the Alps.
·
846
A.D. After
nearly two centuries of increasing raids on southern Italy,
Muslim forces sack Rome,
desecrating the tombs of St. Peter and St. Paul, destroying many
churches and carrying off hundreds of slaves.
·
848
A.D. A
third Muslim army crosses the Pyrenees and invades France, once again destroying towns
and cities, killing and enslaving before being driven back.
·
870
A.D. Muslim
forces capture the island of Malta.
·
873
A.D. Muslim
forces launch massive slave raids in Calabria, Northern Italy, leaving the province devastated and
depopulated for generations.

878
A.D. Muslim
forces destroy the city of Syracuse, killing most of
its inhabitants and enslaving the survivors.
·
935
A.D. Fatimid
Muslim forces capture the city of Genoa, Northern Italy.

sixth Fatimid Caliph, Abu Ali al-Mansur al-Hakim, destroys thirty thousand
Christian churches, seizing their lands and possessions.
·
1003-1009
A.D. Muslim Saracen raiders increase attacks on the
Italian West coast, including Pisa and Rome, from
their base on Sardinia.
·
1009

sends a letter to Pope Urban II, asking for help.
·
1095
A.D. At
the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II calls for European Christians to defend
Constantinople and reopen access to the Holy land and, especially, Jerusalem;
the First Crusade.
In the full historical context, the First
Crusade can be seen as a defensive response to four hundred and fifty years of
Muslim wars, invasions, conquest and slave raids against Christian Western
Europe and the Byzantine
Empire.
The First Crusade was called by Pope Urban
II in response to desperate pleas for help from the Emperor of Constantinople,
Alexius Comnenus. An army composed of many European nationalities succeeded in
recapturing Jerusalem in
1099 AD and guaranteeing safe passage for Christian pilgrims.
“The Religion of Peace”™, anyone?
The Arabian conquests from 635AD until the late 11th century saw Muslim armies in Northern France – Tours and Poitiers – exactly 100 years
after Mohammed died, 732AD, they were there with the express intention of
conquering the whole world for Allah.
From the late 11th century
Arabs were superseded by the Seljuk Turks as the driving force of Muslim
expansion; they consolidated and expanded upon earlier Arab conquests in the Middle East.
The Seljuks waned in power and, from the early 14th century the Ottoman Turks became the Muslim power, expanding all the way into Europe.
The Ottomans conquered and islamised: Cyprus, Crete, Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Romania, Moldova, Crimea, Southern Ukraine, Hungary and Southern Poland. They were finally stopped at the Gates
of Vienna on September 11th 1683 (the date 9/11 was not a coincidence).
This was the high-water mark of Muslim expansion into Europe ...
until now.
With the West in the ascendant in science, industry, trade,
exploration, wealth and military power, Islamic countries languished as
dysfunctional, moribund, cultural backwaters until the façade of the Ottoman Empire was finally shattered by their ignominious
defeat in WWI.
The Ottoman Empire in the Middle East was carved-up by the
victorious Allies – primarily Britain and
France - and compliant Arab tribal leaders placed in positions of power, such
as the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia and
the Hashemite minority tribe in Jordan.
Oil had been discovered in Persia (Iran) in 1903 and, after WWI, oil exploration and
extraction from the Middle
East began in earnest.
We have not gone into the Sunni-Shia schism, starting around 656AD
and continuing to this day in unrelenting Muslim-on-Muslim violence e.g. Syria,
ISIS, neither have we dealt with “The Hindu Holocaust” and the eighty million Hindus killed in the
Muslim conquest of India. Indeed, there is a great deal we have not even
touched upon, however, the three main points to take from this short overview of
Islamic history are:
i) Islam is an inherently aggressive, expansionist and supremacist military,
socio-economic and political ideology with the trappings of a religion.
ii) Whenever Western Civilisation is weak, Islam will aggressively press
forward to conquer it.
iii) Islamic expansion has only ever been stopped by determined military
force.
Doctrine
Once again, there is so much that could be said here but we will concentrate
on highlighting, in no particular order, the main points of concern. The teachings
listed here are not opinion or interpretation of Islamic teachings, we are drawing
ONLY on mainstream Islamic texts, i.e. the Koran, Hadith and Sunna:
ALL people are born Muslim, it is only through ignorance or wilfulness
that they do not openly accept Islam. Hence, those who convert to Islam from other
religions or from atheism are said by Muslims to have “reverted” to the only true
faith.
Islam HAS ALWAYS been the only religion on earth – Christianity and
Judaism are deliberately falsified versions of Islam - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses,
all the prophets and Jesus were ALL Muslim.
ALL non-Muslims – kuffar – are inferior to Muslims and are to be treated
with contempt and, when Muslims are not in a position of power, taken advantage
of whenever possible. When Muslims are in a position of power, kuffar are to be
institutionally discriminated against and forced to adopt dhimmi status, i.e. third-class subjects of the Muslim
state with no equality in (Muslim) law who must pay jizya , a non-Muslim poll tax as protection money
to the Islamic state; there is no legal penalty for killing a kafir (singular of
kuffar).
Women are inherently inferior to men (including Muslim women) – women may only inherit
half a what a man may; in legal disputes a woman’s testimony is worth only half
that of a man’s; men may divorce their wives simply by saying, “I divorce thee”
three times, a divorced wife has no rights to any financial support from her ex-husband;
men may have up to four wives; men may beat their wives; a wife has no right to
deny her husband sex under any circumstances, i.e. a man may rape his wife; all
children belong to their father, their mother has no rights over them; a woman who
claims to have been raped must provide four male witnesses to the alleged rape,
if she fails to do this she will be charged with adultery (punishable by stoning
to death in a number of Islamic countries today); a wife is classed as a part of
her husband’s chattels, i.e. she is an object that he wholly owns; kuffar women
may be kept as sex-slaves, there is no limit put upon their number; girls may be
married at the age of nine…….. (Hello, Western feminists? Anybody there?)
Jihad is warfare against all non-Muslims for the express purpose of
spreading Islam to the whole world by force; Jihad is obligatory for ALL Muslims,
either by directly fighting or, for those unable to fight, by supporting the Jihadis
with food, money, weapons, shelter, sex (if you are a woman) and political cover; ALL non-Muslims – men, women, children, the elderly,
non-combatants, civilians – are legitimate targets in Jihad; terror (terrorism)
is a legitimate tactic in Jihad – N.B. when Muslim apologists appear on TV and
denounce “terrorism” and say that “Islam condemns the killing of innocent civilians”,
they do not mean what you think they mean. By “terrorism” they mean any attacks
against Muslims and ONLY Muslims; by “innocent civilians” they mean Muslims and
ONLY Muslims. ALL non-Muslims are regarded as ‘combatants’ and legitimate targets.
As can most clearly be seen in the constant attacks on Israeli civilians.
The only guaranteed way of getting into paradise is to die as a Shahid (‘martyr’) in the act of killing unbelievers
(hence no shortage of suicide bombers).
· The world is divided into two camps:
i) Dar al Islam – the abode of Islam, i.e. Muslim countries.
ii) Dar al harb – the abode of war, i.e. all non-Muslim countries
True peace will only come when the whole world
is Islamic and all
non-Muslims live as dhimmis under the universal
global Caliphate.
Uniquely among world ‘religions’, Islam does not have any version of
“The Golden Rule” – treat others as you would like to be treated – Muslims are only
supposed to treat other Muslims in that fashion, they are enjoined to be cruel,
exploitative and dishonest with non-Muslims.
The Kingdom of Allah will only be realised in the universal global
Caliphate when every single Jew
on Earth has been killed by Muslims. (This traditional, orthodox Islamic doctrine
is enshrined in the written constitutions of both Hamas and Fatah (the Palestinian
Authority)
There is no such thing as freedom of speech or freedom religion
or freedom of conscience in Islam – it is illegal to say or write ANYTHING that
is in any way critical of Islam or Mohammed; leaving Islam to become an atheist
or to convert to another religion is punishable by death; if one is non-Muslim one
may not freely practice one’s religion in Muslim countries; if a Muslim does not
follow the commands of “the rightful Caliph” (think, ISIS, right now) he is an apostate
and should be killed.
1. Kuffar laws, i.e. the laws in non-Muslim states,
do not apply to Muslims.
2. Islamic Law, Sharia, applies to ALL peoples
in all places at all times.
3. The full implementation of Islam IS Sharia Law. It is impossible to have partial
application of Sharia law.
There is no objective moral code in Islam; what is “right” or “good”
is that which furthers the cause of Islam and individual Muslims, what is “wrong”
or “bad” is that which does not. Hence, for
example, lying – “taqqiya” - (especially to kuffar) is not only acceptable
but positively praiseworthy if it advances the cause of Islam
This VERY short list of Islamic doctrines shows unequivocally that Islam – not “Islamism”, not “Islamo-fascism”, not “Sharia-compliant Islam”, not “radical Islam”, not “Islamic Extremism”, not “Islamic fundamentalism” – pure, unadulterated,
historically and scripturally accurate, mainstream, orthodox ISLAM, is absolutely antithetical
to and incompatible with Western Civilisation and is, in fact, its deadly and implacable
enemy.
Practice
Apologists for Islam, both Muslim and non-Muslim, when presented with
any of the history or doctrine outlined above, will usually counter in one of six
main ways:
1.
Lie by
simply denying the factual truth of the statement – despite mountains of evidence
to the contrary.
2.
Lie by
giving a completely false and non-traditionally Islamic interpretation of the teaching
or events – despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
3.
Lie by
claiming that these events and teachings are in the past and have no relevance to
Muslim behaviour today - despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
4.
Lie by
claiming that, whatever the most recent savage, barbaric and stomach churning atrocity
the adherents of the Religion of Peace™ have perpetrated, it is due to “oppression”,
or “occupation”, or “persecution” against Muslims by non-Muslims in some purely
local context – despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
5.
Attempt
to change the subject by making a false equivalence with Christianity or Judaism,
e.g. “What about all the violent verses
in the Old Testament?”
Instantly become threatening, aggressive and accuse you of having a
made-up mental illness, “Islamophobia”. N.B. This is usually the FIRST thing they
do and millions upon millions of stupid, cowardly people in the West keep on falling
for it instead of laughing in their faces and verbally destroying them with evidence,
logic and reason.
In order to explain the manifestations of Islam in the world today
we have to briefly revisit Islamic doctrine:
The Koran is LITERALLY the word of god, i.e. it was dictated by God
via the Archangel Gabriel to Mohammed. It is an earthly copy of the eternal Koran
kept on a golden table in Paradise, the “Um
al kitab”, the “Mother of the Book”. Therefore it cannot be interpreted or changed
in any way, ever, by anyone. It is immutable for all time. Therefore, the commandments
it contains, such as Sura 9.5 (the Verse of the Sword), are active and binding on
all Muslims for all time.
For all Muslims Mohammed is “Al insan al kamil”, “The Perfect
Man”, who never did any wrong, literally. He is to be emulated by all Muslims as
much as they are able and his sayings and doings form one of the main scriptural
supports of Islam. A lot of the sayings and doings of Muslims in the world today
make ‘sense’ if we remember that Mohammed:
1.
Was a
bandit chief who robbed, murdered and enslaved on a massive scale.
2.
Told his
disciples to lie, cheat, steal and kill when dealing with non-Muslims.
3.
Told his
disciples that killing non-believers was one of the most pleasing things they could
do for God.
4.
Personally
murdered and beheaded many hundreds of people.
5.
Raped
the widows of men he had just killed.
6.
Told his
disciples that God had given them the wives of the men they killed to use as they
wished.
7.
Married
a six year old child and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old.
8.
Personally
beat his wives.
9.
Had a
number of female non-Muslim sex slaves.
10. Declared that all Jews were accursed of god
and had to be destroyed from the face of the Earth before the universal ‘peace’
of Islam could be achieved.
11. Told his disciples that they were the best
people on earth and that ALL non-Muslims were their inferiors.
12. Told his disciples that they had a God-given
right and duty to conquer the whole world.
None of this, not the Koran and not the example of Mohammed, is regarded
by Muslims today as something that does not apply to them. Quite the opposite, they
are the very essence and definition of what it means to be Muslim and they are the
template for the life and conduct of the individual Muslim and the Islamic State.
As mentioned in “Islam I”, think of all the conflicts going on in the
world right now involving Muslims; if they all magically stopped this instant, the
world would be, on the whole, a much more peaceful place.
The Western democracies have made a deadly mistake in importing millions
of Muslims who do not assimilate, who demand their host countries accommodate themselves
to Islam rather than the other way around, who treat the indigenous inhabitants
of those countries as contemptible inferiors, who place a massive burden on the
social infrastructures of those countries and who – with increasing frequency –
commit acts of sedition, terror, treason and murder against them.
Sweden now has the second highest number of rapes in the world, one
in four – 25% - of all Swedish women can now expect to be raped in their lifetime;
a leaked report from the Stockholm police (they tried to suppress it) showed that
more than 77% of all rapes in the city (five a day last summer) were perpetrated
by Muslim men upon indigenous Swedish women. Swedish women have taken to dying their
blonde hair black and even wearing hijabs in order to avoid the attention of Muslim
men. Stockholm has
changed from a Swedish city to a
city that is one-third immigrant and is between a fifth and a quarter Muslim in
the last ten years due to immigration. While in Oslo,
the police have finally admitted that 100%...., yes, you read that correctly, 100%
of rapes committed in the city last year were carried out by Muslim immigrants and
over 90% of the victims were indigenous Norwegian women.
There are large areas of Malmo, Stockholm,
Copenhagen, Oslo, Rotterdam, Brussels, Paris, Marseilles, Lyon, Frankfurt, Cologne,
Madrid, Barcelona, Turin, Rome and Vienna that are, either officially (as in France’s “Zones Sensibles Urbaines”) or unofficially,
No-Go Zones for Police and other emergency services. Where the law of the state
does not apply and Sharia is enforced by Imams and their numerous, illiterate, psychopathic
foot soldiers. Take a look at this article:
That was written in 2008, it is FAR worse now. In Britain an avalanche of Muslim child prostitution gangs that have
been operating for decades and destroyed the lives of thousands of young British
girls have started to come to light, despite the best efforts of the police, social
workers, politicians of all parties and the media to cover it up in the interests
of, “community cohesion”.
Likewise, despite another decades long cover-up, the massive scale
of the Islamisation of schools in Britain is beginning to become apparent, although the
police, media, and politicians of all parties are desperately trying to minimise
the evidence and distract attention away from the fact that we are perilously close
to having our own No-Go Muslim enclaves in this country. Although, when one looks
around today it seems we’re already there in parts of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds,
Bradford, Bristol,
Leicester, Luton.
Well over 80% of Muslim immigrants (including
now second and even third generations born in Europe and Britain) are on welfare and for many
of them this is explicitly regarded as jizya, the poll-tax paid by kuffar to Muslims.
See this revealing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWNInGNHp5Y
Literally thousands of young Muslim
men and, increasingly, women have left Britain, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Austria, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and
the United States to fight for the newly established
Caliphate. Almost all of them were born and brought up in those countries. Many
of those who survive, having learned deadly skills and become battle hardened
killers, will return to their ‘home’ nations with the express intention of
continuing the fight to establish the global Caliphate on kuffar soil. There
have already been a very large number of interviews and video messages from
these Jihadis saying exactly and precisely that.
The newly-proclaimed Caliphate in what used to be Syria and Iraq may
or may not prove viable; if it does, even in the short term, the world can
expect to see Islamic aggression and violence on a scale not witnessed since
the heady days of the Arabic conquests or Ottoman Empire. Local Islamic conflicts all over the
world have already received a shot of adrenalin simply from the announcement of the Caliphate, as evidenced by the
enormous uptick in Jihadi attacks around the world in recent months.
Iran is racing to achieve nuclear weapons and
will do so very shortly; Pakistan’s
nuclear arsenal is within arm’s reach of being acquired by the Taliban. Neither Iran nor the Taliban may be described as
“rational actors” on the world stage.
Even the most basic nuclear capability gives those possessing it
awesome political and military leverage, plus, the simplest way of using it to
bring down, say, the US or Europe, is to detonate one or more nuclear warheads
at altitude (300 miles) over the target area to generate an Electromagnetic
Pulse (EMP). This will literally fry all electrical components within the EMP
cascade area, i.e. within line of sight of the detonation. Think about that –
nothing electrical will work, no vehicles (apart from pre-1970 models) will run,
no trains, no light, no communications, no computers, no aeroplanes, no fuel
transportation and distribution, no food distribution, no gas, no water.
Studies by the Pentagon have projected a death rate in the US in the event of an EMP attack of 50% of the
total population within the first six months, 90% within the first year. We can
expect pretty much the same here, possibly even worse due to the much higher
population density in the UK.
Far from performing their duty, ALL those charged with safeguarding
their own countries and Western Civilisation in general – politicians, Military
commanders, Police and intelligence Services, the Church – have betrayed their
trust and are actively assisting in the rapidly accelerating destruction of
both.
Most shamefully and reprehensibly of all, we have Bishop of Rome
Jorge Bergoglio welcoming heathen Muslim prayers within the walls of the
Vatican itself, praying facing Mecca in a mosque with an Imam, cheerleading the
destructive flood of illegal Muslim immigrants to the heartlands of Europe and
publicly urging them to find hope in the Koran. When speaking to a group of
Muslim illegal colonisers in Lampedusa, Bishop of Rome Jorge Bergoglio said, “The
faith that your parents instilled in you will always help you move on.”
St. Michael the Archangel, pray
for us in the day of battle!
