Considering that Islam has been at war with the West for 1,400 years, it is vital that we understand this struggle in these modern times.
Most people would say that Islam is just another religion, perhaps somewhat more zealous than others, but a religion nonetheless. Well, no! Nothing about Islam is that simple.
Islam is a geopolitical movement disguised as a religion.
Understanding the relationship between Christians, Jews, and Muslims is vital to understanding the front-page news almost every day.
Around 610 AD, Muhammad claimed to have a vision to be a prophet of God. While Muhammad was seeking converts, he attempted to appeal to the Jews and Christians by sharing stories of messages he received from an angel. These messages emphasized tolerance toward his Judeo-Christian neighbors and characterized the Meccan Period from 610 to 622 AD.
Some would say that Muhammad wanted acceptance as another bona fide religion, but that would be wrong. Muhammad wanted acceptance as a new prophet from God among both Jews and Christians. His message was for everyone to accept that he was the one true prophet from God.
Muhammad incorporated many Jewish practices into Islam. He took in the Jewish Day of Atonement and even initially instructed his followers to face Jerusalem during prayer. He adopted the Sabbath, which started on a Friday evening.
The first 10 years for Muhammad were challenging. He tried to prove his status as a prophet, but his failed miracles and teachings won him few followers, which contributed to his struggles in gaining acceptance and support from the community during this early period. The Jews were not about to abandon Jehovah, Yahweh, the Rock of Ages, who freed them from bondage in the land of Egypt, to worship a new god.
The Medinan Period began when Muhammad’s own tribe drove him out of Mecca because they refused to abandon their idol worshiping and follow Muhammad’s new god, Allah, once the moon god from the previous pagan religion; hence the crescent moon.
After his eviction, he sought refuge in Medina, where he raised an army and became a warring prophet, waging war on those who would not believe. With his new army, he turned to conversion by force. He returned to Mecca and successfully negotiated a treaty with the Meccan merchants, which allowed him to amass the city’s wealth and power.
Muhammad waged 29 wars against Christians and Jews who refused to become his followers. Entire Jewish tribes were wiped out, and their women and children were taken.
Their cry of “Allah Akbar” just before they kill you does not mean God is great. It means “Allah is greater” or “Allah is the greatest.” A very significant difference. It tells me they do not recognize the Judeo-Christian God.
During this period Muhammad’s message and the Quran changed from peace to war and hatred to those who would not follow him, empowering him to eradicate non-believers and make them enemies forever, thus becoming a geopolitical movement.
It seems Muhammad held a grudge. The Quran and Hadith then said of Jews that they are of apes and swine and need to be put down. The Quran says that Jews were given the truth but have rejected it, making them enemies:
Muhammad said: ‘The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.’” Hadith al-Bukhari 2926
Many regions of the Middle East and Africa were Christian but became Muslim due to conquest, not peaceful conversion. Generally, Islam offers non-believers three choices: become Muslim, pay dearly for the privilege of living among them, or die. It’s called Dhimmitude.
After the death of Muhammad, Muslims split into two groups, Shia and Sunni. The main difference lies in their beliefs about succession of leadership after the prophet’s death. The Sunni believe that it should be consensus, while the Shia believe the new leader must come from the prophet’s family, specifically with Ali, his cousin and son-in-law. The Sunni emphasize the Quran, while the Shia venerate Imams, and in Iran they’re yelling, “KILL!”
About 85-90% of the global Muslim population is Sunni. The balance are Shia, living mostly in Iran and Iraq. Their conflicts with each other have been heated at times, preventing a stable Middle East. That is why T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) called them a silly people.
“So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people—greedy, barbarous, and cruel.” T.E. Lawrence
When Israel became a nation after WW2, the event was a dark time for Islam. They reject Israel’s existence, and many still do. America’s close relationship with Israel has transferred that hate to the United States and all those who would support Israel.
Understand this: Islam is a violent belief system. They believe that anyone who does not adhere to Muhammad’s call is worthy of death. Just In March of this year, Jihad attacks worldwide resulted in the deaths of 758 people and injuries to 1,171 others. thereligionofpeace.com
It is said that about 15-25% of Muslims are jihadists. That means between 180-300 million Muslims around the world want you dead.
Now that you have this background, it should be clear why we are witnessing both Islamic terrorism and a silent Islamic conquest occurring in Europe and, to a lesser extent, in America.
Muslims have made significant progress in Europe, particularly in the UK and France. Many Muslims in Europe refuse to assimilate and instead demand the implementation of Sharia law. Europe’s open border policy has been tantamount to national suicide.
The reasoning behind the open-border policy of many European countries remains unclear. They seem to have gone all out to welcome them, a culture in total conflict with Western ideals.
They said it was to address a labor shortage. But here we are a few years later, and AI promises to create a labor surplus. What will millions of Muslims do when there is no work?
President Trump is one of the few presidents who knows how to confront Islamic radicals. The Iran War has clearly demonstrated the challenges of dealing with traditional Islam, including lying, backstabbing, and breaking deals.
Liberals, Democrats, socialists, and Bolsheviks exasperate our conflict with Islam and hinder our quest to continue being the great nation we are. They will align with any group, any enemy, to destroy the country they hate.
Being the communists they are, they see our country as unfair, void of equality (without knowing what equality means), lacking safety nets, and racist. Should they win the White House in 2028, they will open our borders once again and forever dilute our American culture, destroying our nation but guaranteeing themselves power.
America, though not without its flaws, remains the best opportunity for anyone seeking a fulfilling life on this planet. Unfortunately, many have yet to realize the truth. God bless America.
