Daniel Shayesteh on Islam and Freedom

Serious Problems Facing Our Nations

2012-02-04T23:41:00.000-08:00

Authoritarian beliefs and agents are sinking their roots deeper in non-Islamic countries day after day. They are also dominating Muslim nations one by one. Yet people tend to keep quiet against these destructive powers, even if they are concerned and fear that their security is vanishing. Subservience towards political leaders and an unquestioning faith in multiculturalism have made silence a common response among so many.

Western leaders and the media, in particular in America, supported the so-called 'Arab Spring' revolutionaries who were working for the establishment of freedom. But now we see that the vast majority of those Egyptian so-called 'freedom fighters' have revealed themselves to be defenders of Al-Qaida and the Shari’a of Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood and Salafists have now won seventy two percent of seats in Egypt’s lower house, and are marching ever onwards to achieve the full dominance and destruction of any non-Islamic presence in Egypt. One should also be aware that the Muslim Brotherhood has established a strong presence in America and across Europe, and is achieving success in imposing some Islamic beliefs on the non-Islamic majority.

In a similar way, western countries spent billions of western tax payers’ dollars in Libya and handed over the country to Islamists and pro-Al-Qaida fighters.

There we are! Our politicians are expected to do their best to protect their nation’s interests in Islamic countries, but through their support, the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ has turned out to be a great loss for their own nations as well as the Muslim nations. They put pressure on Muslim presidents and prime ministers, who were fighting Islamic terrorism, to step down for the sake of democracy, which is indeed a cause worth fighting for. Yet these leaders have gone now and their countries have fallen into the hands of Islamists who support terrorism. The presence of five committed Muslims in the White House might have been a great factor in paving the way for the collapse of Hosni Mubarak, who opposed Islamic terrorism and posed no threat to western interests. The media who promoted these changes are now ignoring their own failure. Instead they call this a great foreign policy success, though all the success seems to belong solely to the Islamists.

Isn’t this shocking! The collapse of the western allies and the rise of tyrannical Muslims to power is now trumpeted as successful foreign policy. Several months ago, the western media and politicians said that the Muslim Brotherhood was a small and insignificant group in Egypt and could not win a majority of votes. Now, the Islamists have won a majority, and the media is twisting the facts to present their abject failure as a success!

It was crystal clear to us, who lived in the Middle-East and knew the Islamists’ ethics, that the collapse of nationalistic dictators in the Middle-East would result in the rise of Islamists. We were also aware that if a country spoke or acted in favor of Islamists’ rule it would expose the interest of their own nation to the threats of intolerant Islamists. For this reason, we wrote and raised our voices against such initiatives and prayed for our politicians to suspend their support of the Islamists.
Sadly, our political leaders took advantage of wide-spread passivity and silence and went their own way. Now, radical Muslims in Egypt, Libya and others on the way are planning to send their representatives to the United Nation (UN) and replace their ambassadors.

Even though Muslim terrorists have hidden themselves so far, they have cost western security services trillions of dollars each year. But soon they will have representatives at the UN and ambassadors in each country. Imagine when supporters of terrorism are in charge in the UN, partnering with our politicians and taking part in global decision-making. The UN will be used (and is being used) as a launching pad for attacks against freedom lovers and Israel.

The problem is not just the access of Islamists to higher positions nationally or internationally, but their global threats to Jews, Christians and all others who do not align themselves with Islamic law. Their strength equates to strong persecution of non-Muslims.

A great persecution is awaiting the world, in particular western countries. If we do not wake up and speak out, making sacrifices for freedom, and do not become the light and salt of Christ for every aspect of peoples’ lives, including politics, a bitter persecution will overtake our nations and the generations to come.

Let us pray to the beautiful Christ to open our eyes to the depths of His love and care, so that we can love and care for our nations and the world and defend the rights of nations against the agents of terrorism and authoritarian rule.

I close with the words of Jesus:

"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:37, 38 (CEV)

No Morality to Convict Them!

2011-12-06T03:15:00.001-08:00

Many western politicians seek to establish laws in accordance with their personal interests, using humanity as a means to an end. Take, for example, the legalization of same sex marriage and abortion. The legalization of same sex marriage has compromised the importance of marriage between a man and a woman. They accuse people who stand against their decision of being “unjust”, “anti-freedom of choice”, or “religious extremists”. Ironic, considering their own initiatives are extreme, unjust and hostile to freedom of speech. The selfish claim of a mother, who wishes to terminate her baby, is sanctioned and given priority over the right of the living being in her womb.

What is justice when pro-life activists are called unjust? Isn’t justice about the protection and preservation of all human life?

What is freedom when those who stand against same-sex marriage are called ‘enemies of freedom’? Does it entail the freedom to do and act as one would wish regardless of the cost to others? Is it really freedom to legalize every personal desire of men and women, and impose them on others who want to abide in an ethic that embraces a life-style which is for the well-being of the community? If it is freedom to legalize the marriage of “man to man” or “woman to woman”, why shouldn’t marriage between a man or woman to animals be legalized, if the personal desire is what matters? Freedom becomes multi-dimensional, confusing, abusive, anarchic and destructive when it is defined by humanity with their limitless desires. Freedom does not work well without God, who is the absolute authority in justice and the ultimate power in establishing the moral codes for people’s do’s and don’ts.

We are aware that there are scattered voices in the world who wish to legalize marriage between adults and children and even between humans and animals. This is because some of our politicians do not have any limits to what they call ‘freedom’. Such disrespect to the traditional marriage will not end with the same-sex marriage, but will certainly involve little children or human-to-animal marriages in the future if they continue their disregard and disrespect to Christian values. Such occurrences are already taking place throughout the world.

Even from a financial point of view, it is baffling that governments would spend millions in aborting unborn babies rather than spending that money in further establishing programs and support for the mothers and families involved. Even the theory of evolution believes in the dynamism of life, whereas these evolutionary politicians are trying to make life static with their laws in the life of some. Such a philosophical contradiction is evidence of the increasing stifling of conscience and morally legitimate ways.

The initiatives of our unethical politicians are not going to end with the above problems. Open doors to committed Muslims will have its own implications in this area. Islam gives a chance for repentance to people for every sin or unbelief, but not for homosexuality. According to the law of Islam, they must be killed. This is clearly something our political leaders are not aware of, or have not considered. With unlimited multiculturalism, our politicians may likely lead our societies to a place where homosexuals will have bitter experiences at the hands of committed Muslims.

Our politicians have rejected God, or forgotten Him. In His place, they have turned to seeking the approval of political factions, striving to win the votes that will see their ideologies more strongly established. History, as well as the present, demonstrates that governments who align themselves with self-made values only result in disunity and destruction.

Sadly, some churches have also softened their stand for pro-life and traditional marriage. They have started to interpret their faith in Christ via the norms of these unstable politicians in order to get a wider recognition; compromising the Truth of the Creator God.

We should not keep silent but stand for the Truth against these destructive decisions. Let us stand proudly and uphold the moral heritage of our nations which values marriage as the permanent union of a husband and a wife, and believes that all humanity, including an unborn child, are made in the image of God and have the full right to exist and live out the life God has created them for. We also need to pray for our politicians; for the wisdom of God in the governance of their country.

South Africa and Her Loyal Pious Muslims!?

2011-11-04T20:19:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time, many pious Muslim leaders could not keep quiet against the oppression and discrimination of the white government against the Native South Africans. Even though the tyranny and discrimination in their own Muslim countries had reached excessive heights, they called the ruling white government a barbaric, repressive and racist regime, and desired that one day Islam would take root in South Africa and show the world the prevailing of justice and the return of the native South African’s God-given honor, autonomy and freedom back.

Nobody but these pious Islamists knew that the guise of supporting the native Africans could give them an opportunity in the future to impose their sharia law, enslaving them to Islam. This is what you see now if you travel to South Africa and visit their restaurants and groceries. Even the water bottles are marked with the Islamic Halal logo, meaning that Muslims should not drink water bottled by non-Muslim Africans. Once these Muslims, who would not stand for the racism of the white government, and showed loyalty to the native Africans, have now forced the 98.5% of non-Muslim South Africans to follow Islam’s dehumanizing Sharia while they themselves make up only 1.5% of the South African community. At a time where 20% of the South African Government is made up of Muslim politicians, the non-Muslim South Africans are exposed as unclean souls under the banner of the Islamic Halal logo and Muslims are encouraged not to use any food products by non-Muslims – even water – that cannot be categorized Islamic or non-Islamic! Where there was once a stand against discrimination and segregation, there is now its promotion.

It was understandable that the native African leaders appreciated what Muslims did for years in defending their rights against the authoritarian white leaders. However, these African leaders were unaware that pious Muslims could not function in the light of justice and equal opportunity. They were wolves in sheep’s clothing. They stood with oppressed people, not because of their rights, but for the establishment of Islamic Sharia, exactly what their Quran and prophet have instructed them to do:

Let not the believers (Muslims) take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that you may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (to remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah (Q.3:28).

The Quran tells Muslims repeatedly that they should not take as friends those outside their faith, unless it is to "guard themselves” for implementing the goal of Allah, thus the establishment of the Islamic law at the cost of all other beliefs and values.

South Africans are now treated as second class citizens by their so-called faithful, pious Muslims, and are to follow the rules of the 1.5% minority in their own land for which they themselves paid a great price.

Did South Africa fight and suffer only to replace the white government’s suppression with the discriminating values of Islam? There is no doubt that they would not desire such a thing and would not even imagine that their closest Muslim friends would one day undermine their freedom espousing such values. Sadly, many South Africans, especially politicians, are still unaware that non-Muslims (infidels in Islam) will not be able to make a caring and loving friend of pious Muslims, since the only solution for infidelity in Islam is the dominance of Islamic law. This is why Muslims are trying to put the “Halal” logo on every food item - in order to Islamize life at all levels. Unfortunately, South Africans thought that Islam would be different in their country, and many are ignoring warning signals from experiences in the West, that Islam cannot be compatible with any democratic values.

History shows that ignorance does not result in pleasure and comfort, but in loss and suffering. To make good friends, friends who never want to impose themselves on us, we need to know their beliefs and their priorities in relationships. There have been many non-Islamic communities who believed the superficial claims of friendship by pious Muslims, without realizing that they were handing over themselves to the tyranny of Islam. What is now happening in such countries as Iran, Egypt and Lebanon, is the result of ignorance by their forefathers who failed to dig deeper and understand well.

May the Spirit of Jesus Christ touch and bless South Africans, all Muslims and non-Muslims to follow the model of Christ for friendship and peace. He did not impose Himself on others, but poured out His life for foes and friends alike. He filled them with the immeasurable extent of His care and love, even to the point of laying down His life; the crown of love among humanity. Jesus said:

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends (John 15: 13).

I close with the words of Jesus.

"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." (Matthew 9:37, 38)

Centralized Power Verses Freedom

2011-10-09T07:22:00.000-07:00

Time and again, we have heard dictators and authoritarian ideologists claim that there is freedom in their countries. Yet we know from history that freedom and authoritarianism are the vessels of two opposing forces. The seventy years of centralized communist power left nothing but rubbles within every level of its societies, as did the Islamic dictatorship which not only blocked the door of progress to people but also diminished their moral character.

After the mullahs’ power broke out in Iran, they wanted to be masters over all things, even the things of which they held no knowledge. They seized businesses, made them governmental and appointed as leaders those who were loyal to them, but who also did not have the relevant knowledge or skill. For them (and Islam), obedience is primary, quality secondary. As a result, the distribution of products became government controlled, the economy failed, and the black market flourished. People had to wait hours and days in lines in order to purchase their daily necessities. The more the mullahs gained power, the more people lost their strength for living and suffered in all aspects of life. Unemployment increased, while poverty and the daily struggle to find enough food to eat changed people’s attitudes. Corruption became widespread.

On the cultural front, things went downhill and thousands of young people were absorbed into the Revolutionary Guard (Sepah’e Pasdaran) and to the Correcting Religious Guard (Basijis), which were established to Islamize the country and ensure that everybody lived according to Islamic principles. What was envisioned before the Revolution for younger people had now become a lifestyle for many of them to persecute fellow citizens. These young religious guards terrified, tortured and killed people in public places in order to extinguish any desire for opposition. People started to think that their best days were in the past, the kingdom of the Shah, to which any hope of return was impossible.

Many pro-democratic Iranians broke down morally, and gave up the courageous life because of the mullahs’ ferocious acts of terror. Some were even gradually absorbed into the mullahs’ regime in order to secure their survival from social or political deprivations. Furthermore, they began to say that they were wrong about the mullahs; that they had found the truth and now aimed to uproot the remnants of Western culture in Iran. They themselves started to preach against their own former doctrines, blaming and persecuting democracy-minded people with words like "Zionist", "Western Agent", and so on. One of my own followers turned out to have become one of my persecutors after I was put into prison.

Due to fear, people separated themselves from any who were in opposition; even from one who was once in opposition, but still had not sought the pardon of the mullahs. Some of my followers and friends never contacted me again after the mullahs’ occupation and behaved as strangers when they came face to face with me in the street. They did not want to expose their families to risk.

This is what happens under an authoritarian and self-centered government: society’s moral characters fade away, some become persecutors of others in exchange for money or position, and other citizens forget that they need to uphold and take care of each other no matter the cost. When a country falls into the hands of a power-thirsty sect, or group, or an individual, every other thing falls into the wayside, including morality and national coherence.

None of these moral failures mattered to the dictatorship of the mullahs in Iran. Despite all the chaos, to this day they still twist the truth, defend their actions and equate their rule with "social justice", "compassion" and “freedom”, labeling others as “immoral” and “enemies of freedom”.

Jesus, who is mighty in power and knowledge, never takes advantage of His might to strip people of their choices. He is mighty, not to enslave people, but to prepare the way for them to come out of captivity, become His intimate friends (John 15:15), and build a free community. He knows that lack of choice leads communities to chaos and hostility. No leader in the world had an intimate relationship with his followers as Jesus had with His followers. He humbled Himself in order to inspire a loving leadership in those who listened to Him so that they could in turn become humble, loving, good moral examples and a blessing to others. For Jesus, the most powerful must be a servant to all:

But Jesus called [His disciples] them and said, You know that the rulers of the nations exercise dominion over them, and they who are great exercise authority over them. However, it shall not be so among you. But whoever desires to be great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be chief among you, let him be your servant; even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many (Matthew 20:25-28).

Tolerance that Compromises the Truth

2011-08-28T15:10:00.000-07:00

A joint project of The Human Rights First and The Interfaith Alliance encouraged 50 churches in 26 states of America to open their churches to Muslim Imams and Jewish Rabbis to read texts from their sacred scriptures in the pulpit of these churches. For this reason, thousands gathered in these churches on 26 June 2011, for a “Faith-Shared” event against those who call Islam a violent religion. Imams read texts from the Quran.

Tad Stahnke, the director of policy and programs for Human Rights First said, “We want to send a message to the world that Americans do respect religious differences and reject religious bigotry and the demonization of Islam or any other religion.”

Churches across America Read from the Quran
Muslims in the Pulpit.

There is no doubt that America respects religious differences; otherwise people from different religious backgrounds and ethnicities would not continue to leave their motherlands to reside in America. All Muslim countries know that they do not have the freedom America has. Their laws, no matter how moderate they are, do not allow non-Muslims equal rights with Muslims. It is ironic that those who have been given the freedom to worship as they choose and to voice their opinions in America would then question the level of its tolerance!

The world recognizes that violence is an inseparable part of pious Muslims’ lives in Islamic countries, undermining the basic right to safety. This is not only limited to Islamic countries though. Pious Muslims in non-Islamic countries are also threats. Just recently, the Middle East Quarterly (Summer 2011) revealed some pages from an extensive survey taken in 100 mosques throughout 15 American states, which showed that 51% of the mosques were pro-Shari’a establishment in the West and held materials that conveyed a positive attitude toward employing violent jihad against the West and non-Muslims. Another 30% of the mosques were moderately supportive of violence, while the remaining 19% of mosques did not have violent texts. The report also revealed many other significant things that every western citizen needs to be aware of. One startling fact was on the level of attendance in each mosque and the motivation contributing to it. Mosques with pro-violence materials were the most attended.

Source: Shari'a and Violence in American Mosques

The pro-violence mosques in America are aware that the American governments have been spending millions of dollars to combat the threat of Islamic radicalism. Despite this awareness, these mosques have still been eager to chase their zeal for Shari’a and behave against the safety and freedom of this country. What do Americans need to do in the face of this very obvious threat? Do they need to tolerate this threat and make Islamic countries happy or do they need to stand up and show the Islamic world that they will not compromise the Islamic authoritarianism?

Throughout history, the West has never seen such a level of tolerance towards committed Muslims as we see now. Pro-Shari’a mosques and organizations are springing up everywhere; literatures that demonize Jews and non-Muslims are distributed widely; polygamy, child and forced marriages, honor killings are practices openly. Despite the West’s patience, committed Muslims still hate it and wish to destroy its democracy utterly. Why is this so? You would expect that much tolerance will lead to much respect and appreciation, but the result is quite the opposite.

The contemporary western tolerance is not a biblical tolerance to handle the problem of Islam approapriately. It is taken away from its root, the absolute Truth of the Bible, and given to relativism which serves contradiction, dualism and uncertainty. Good and bad are tolerated similarly. For this reason, what was once called wrong is now called right. You will be attacked by the very advocates of tolerance if you claim that Jesus is the source of all truth. As a result, committed Muslims are also able to establish themselves in the shadow of this tolerance, ultimately at the cost of all other beliefs.

By knowing this, you can now anticipate the outcome of the united action of the Human Rights First, the Interfaith Alliance and their partner churches. It results in compromising the truth and tolerating violent Muslims and mosques.

The hostility of Islam towards non-Muslims, in particular the West, is not a matter to be settled by tolerance. It is a violent doctrine sanctioned by Allah against non-Muslims (Quran: chapter 9, verses 29,123 and chapter 58, verses 20-21). The sincere followers of Allah must follow the will of Allah through every possible channel, including deception, until Islam overcomes. For this reason, they are twisting the word “tolerance” in order to deceive non-Muslims until the task is fulfilled. The solution to such extreme measures is a personal understanding of Islam. Westerners need to understand the seriousness of the Islamic threat and take initiatives to open the eyes of Muslims through dialogue, making them aware that the true God values freedom of choice and never imposes Himself on others. Some will understand the truthfulness of this teaching and will stop threatening our nations. However, those who ignore and still teach violence must be dealt with by the law.

It is clear that American (and western) freedom is not compatible with the authoritarianism of Islam. Therefore, establishing a church’s pulpit for an Imam to lift the name of Allah is not only against God and His Bible, but also against the very nature of freedom that is rejected by Allah and his prophet, Muhammad (Quran: chapter 21, verse 23 and chapter 33, verse 36). An Imam never steps foot in a church except to leave Allah’s authoritarianism and follow Christ, or to destroy the church. There is no middle ground.

Church pastors can test Imams to determine whether their approaches to tolerance are genuine. These Imams will use church pulpits to praise Allah, but will they ever open their pulpits to the pastors of these churches to praise Jesus as their God and Savior? It is hard to imagine them allowing the teaching of the Gospel of Christ to become a part of their so called ‘shared-faith’ movement. Islam does not permit Muslims to befriend non-Muslims unless as a last resort to achieving a hidden agenda to dominate (Q.3:28).

We know that friendship and tolerance should be reciprocal. A one-way tolerance results in the destruction of those who tolerate. This is what 1400 years of Islamic history has proven. The majority of the Copts of Egypt, Maronites of Lebanon, Assyrians of Iraq, Catholics of Syria, Zoroastrians of Iran, Hindus and Buddhists of Indonesia became the victims of the Islamic one-way tolerance, and are now persecuted for the sake of their beliefs.

It is a shame that some of our contemporary church leaders, including evangelicals, are blinded to the doctrine and political philosophy of Islam, deceived by those children of Islam who follow the model of Allah as the best of deceivers (Quran: chapter 8, verse 30). Imams and committed Muslims see deception as an inseparable part of their belief and must deal with infidels accordingly.

We are called by Jesus to love all humanity, including Muslims and Imams. But this love does not mean that we allow them to occupy our church pulpits and mislead our people with the teachings of Allah, an enemy of freedom. The true and heavenly love can only be expressed in doing away with compromise and standing courageously for the Truth. Tolerance that compromises the Truth is a passive and destructive tolerance.

No Problem with Saudi Arabia’s Racism!?

2011-08-14T17:33:00.000-07:00

For years, we have been hearing that a Jew or anyone with an Israeli stamp in their passport is not permitted to enter Saudi Arabia, among several other Islamic countries. Many have been hoping for our democratic politicians to take democratic steps and put an end to this bigotry by insisting that Saudi Arabia and similar minded countries put in practice their oath to the UN for a reciprocal relationship. Instead, our politicians chose to play along with this racism, without realizing that the racist pundits aimed to spread their racism to our countries too. Now, some major businesses are adapting themselves to Saudi Arabia’s hate law and also indirectly using our money to finance its cause.

Delta Airlines has recently entered a negotiation for an international deal with the Saudi Arabian Airline to join its “SkyTeam” network in 2012. The details of this mutual deal reveal that Jews from all countries and holders of Israeli passports cannot enter Saudi Arabia, even as transit passengers (NetDailyNews, June 22, 2011; USAToday, June 24, 2011).

It is truly shocking to see our post-modernist democracy compromising with racist ideologies for the sake of a narrow business venture. Saudi Arabia is internationally pronouncing its anti-race policy and many of our democracy-lovers are remaining quiet, not only towards Saudi Arabia, but also towards our own native business corporations which are serving as channels for this hatred. Ignoring racism, in its purest form, is racism itself.

It is concerning that a portion of the money from this network will be going to Saudi Airlines, funding further racist policies. In other words, Delta’s customers will indirectly finance Saudi Arabia’s religious hatred, dehumanizing their own fellow Jewish citizens. Delta justified its deal by saying that it has to comply with all applicable laws in every country it serves. In other words, since anti-Semitism is a law in Saudi Arabia, Delta has no choice but to submit to it and allow it to be put into practice through its own organization in America. Can such a justification be acceptable in our current day and age?

Of course, it's not Delta's fault that the Saudi government is anti-Semitic. But it is Delta’s fault for choosing to become an implementing agent (Shariah-compliant, according to Islam) for Saudi Arabia’s discriminatory policy.

One can’t help but wonder why Muslim scholars and leaders in the West are quiet on this issue, since they have always spoken in defense of pluralism. Obviously, this anti-Semitic proclamation of Saudi Arabia is against pluralism. Do they have a different definition for pluralism? Is it a kind of pluralism that excludes Jews? Or, is it a short-term pluralism until Islam gains power and its law (Islamic Sharia) is established in our countries? If not, why are they not speaking out against Delta’s anti-pluralistic approach? When we reveal the anti-Semitic and anti-Christian doctrine of Islam, they call us racists, even though criticizing a religion or a doctrine has nothing to do with racism. Now, Saudi Arabia itself has pronounced that the Islamic law is anti-Jew, but these Muslims have chosen silence towards this obvious racism.

Can we not see the obvious threats of committed Muslims in our countries? They have been threatening our freedom both nationally and internationally. In our contemporary world, where globalization has closely connected nations, the breach of human rights in any corner of the world will certainly create a ripple affect across borders. Saudi Arabia’s anti-Semitism is an international problem, threatening our democracy.

Despite Saudi’s years of obvious racial and religious incitements, our western leaders continue to see it as potential for establishing peace between Israel and Palestine. Sounds rather irrational and impractical that a nation who openly hates Jews can be expected to promote peace with them. The reason that the decades of peace negotiations in the Middle-East have proven unsuccessful is a clear sign of this insincere approach to peace despite Israel’s readiness for a two state solution; the state of Israel and the state of Palestine. In contrast, Palestinians’ initiatives have always been based on the establishment of Palestine and the destruction of Israel. Just recently, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called on Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to "just say six words - 'I will accept the Jewish state" (A7 Israel’s National News, Tuesday, June 28, 2011). Netanyahu said that he stood before his own people and said numerous times that he would accept a Palestinian state. He challenged the president of Palestine and said, “Now President Abbas must stand before his people and he has to say these six words, 'I will accept the Jewish State’.”

Of course, it will not be easy for Abbas to accept the sovereignty of Israel since anti-Semitism is rooted in his doctrine. Also, the problem becomes two-fold as he has to please the religious and money lords; including Saudi Arabia. For Saudi Arabia, the mother-land of Islam, every place is a no-go zone for Jews, even the airplanes of our democratic countries. Saudi Arabia’s prophet said:

The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him... (Muslim :: Book 41 : Hadith 6985 & Bukhari :: Volume 4 :: Book 52 :: Hadith 177).

The Quran also teaches in Q.9:1-9 that Muslims cannot enter treaty with non-Muslims, as they are wicked people who do not follow Muhammad. This is the main reason for Saudi Arabia in openly expressing its hatred towards Jews and in investing millions of dollars abroad to achieve its legitimacy internationally.

Decades of history show that politicians have turned a blind eye to this racism; failing to deal with it in an honest manner. The main reason for this has been Middle-Eastern oil. Its influence runs deep into our economic and political systems. We may expect a stand for justice and equality from our politicians only when their love for their country exceeds love for their title. A politician who cares for their people will in no way tolerate such racism.

Is there a future for Israel and Palestine with such a force of anti-Semitism? Can we place our trust in countries like Saudi Arabia for the establishment of real peace in the Middle-East? After all, the fruit of a tree can only be determined by its roots.

What, then, is the solution? What must we do in the face of this hatred and the wide-spread indifference towards it?

The entire Bible points to Jesus as the solution. The Prophet Isaiah wrote:

The virgin will conceive and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14).

For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be on His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

The Gospel of Christ writes:

There cannot be Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28).

It is our Lord Jesus, the Son of God, who is able to bring down the walls of hostility between Jews and Muslims, and establish an everlasting peace between them. Let us cry to Him to intervene in such a moment, for such a desperate need.

Christian Marriage: A Great Witness to the World

2011-07-01T15:19:00.000-07:00

Since childhood, as a Muslim boy, I was taught that Christian marriage lacked boundaries, exposing itself to every kind of immorality. In their teachings about marriage, all mullahs (Muslim clergy) introduced the marriage system in Islam as the best model for humanity and the Christian marriage as the opposite extreme.

My 32 years of Islamic knowledge on Christian marriage proved untrue and unjust when I found myself in a church in Istanbul, Turkey, and saw first-hand the relationships of Christian couples. I will never forget the depth of amazement I went through in my conversations with these Christians and when I heard the teachings of the Gospel. One day in a conversation with a husband and wife, who were in their fifties, I was struck by their lovely and humble attitudes towards one another. As the wife spoke, the husband looked respectfully at her, showing a sincere gesture of respect in acknowledging her that this was her time, and lovingly waiting for her to finish her comments without interrupting her. His attitude was an eye-opening lesson to one who was from a pious Islamic background. I had not found such respect in the entire Quran and Muhammad’s biography toward any Muslim woman. I thought at the time that this wonderful family value was a product of Western modern thought. I never considered that it could be from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, in reading its words, I learnt new truths from its pages:

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it (Ephesians 5:25).

Whereas the Quran says:

Take in thine hand a branch and smite therewith [your wife], and break not thine oath … (Q.38:44).

The Gospel says:

Whoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is put away commits adultery. (Mark.19:9).

Compare this with the teaching of the Quran that says:

And when thou (Muhammad) saidst unto him (Zeyd, Muhammad’s adopted son) …: Keep thy wife to thyself, and fear Allah. And thou didst hide in thy mind (your desire to Zeyd’s wife) that which Allah was to bring to light, and thou didst fear mankind (who would see your desire to someone else’s wife as immoral) whereas Allah hath a better right that thou shouldst fear Him. So when Zeyd had performed that necessary formality (of divorce) from her, We (Allah) gave her unto thee in marriage, so that there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have performed the necessary formality (of release) from them. The commandment of Allah must be fulfilled (Q.33:37). [Descriptions in brackets are not part of the Quran but are in accordance with the Islamic traditions and commentaries.]

This verse is saying that Muhammad desired to have Zeynab (the wife of his adopted son, Zeyd) as his own wife. So Allah (his god) rushed to bring his desire into reality, thus encouraging Zeyd to divorce his wife for the sake of Muhammad’s desire. After the divorce, Muhammad immediately took her as his wife.

We can see that Muhammad uses marriage primarily as an opportunity for fleshly desires and disregards the loving heart of the true God in marriage. The God of the Gospel ordained a one man and one woman union from creation, where spouses may experience edifying relationships with each other; teaching their children based on this love and unity, forming pillars in building healthy societies.

Islam considers the abuse of spouses and polygamy as piety, where Christianity considers it immoral. Having more than one wife, or disregarding the Christian marital values, which is prevalent in the Western countries, are the direct result of refusing God’s love; they have nothing to do with piety and righteousness, or with freedom, as many in the West claim. These ungodly attitudes, rather, are motivated by the love of self that encourages the misuse of power for selfish gain and is a threat to healthy relationships within a family.

God’s desire for marriage is for the husband and wife to practice their freedom in the context of being one in body, mind and spirit. As in a body, all members support and uphold each other, and none discriminates against any other. The Gospel puts this relationship in a wonderful way saying:

[T]hat there not be division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another (1Corinthians 12:25).

In a similar manner, a husband and wife should truly be dependent on each other, having wholehearted interest in one another. One’s individual interests should not be at the cost of the other's, disregarding his or her rights as redundant or worthless. They must love each other completely; not fifty per cent, not eighty five per cent but one hundred per cent.

Love is the fundamental tool put forward by God from eternity as a creative and fruitful means for establishing a united family with a united hope. In a similar way, united families will, in turn, be able to establish united communities and nations. For this reason, love surpasses every other thing in God’s philosophy for marriage. Godly love destroys the separating walls between a husband and wife (as with any other relationships) and leads them to a sincere unity in spirit and flesh. As the Gospel says:

For this cause a man shall leave father and mother and shall cling to his wife, and the two of them shall be one flesh (Matthew 19:5).

Alienation from the marital values of the Gospel produces unfriendliness, fractions, rivalries, conflicts and separation. If a husband and wife wish to have effective values for the establishment of a joyful and loving family, they will find no greater source than the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It truly is a blessing.

What does Israel have to do with us?

2011-06-02T16:50:00.000-07:00

On 15th May, 2011, Israel was surrounded by thousands of Arab Muslims from the borders of Lebanon, Syria and Gaza the day of Israel’s establishment as a country in 1948. The angry Muslims attempted to breach the border, chanting Yawm an-Nakbah, meaning “the day of disgrace” or “tragedy” in Arabic. Western media portrayed this event as merely political, missing the true motivation behind it. This article aims to shed some light into why this and similar events have been occurring throughout history, even prior to the establishment of Israel.

This protest reminded me of a similar one the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, undertook against Jews fourteen hundred years ago; a legacy for his faithful Muslims:

Narrated Abu Huraira: While we were in the mosque, Allah's Apostle came out and said, "Let us proceed to the Jews." So we went out with him till we came to Bait-al-Midras. The Prophet stood up there and called them, saying, "O assembly of Jews! Surrender to Allah (embrace Islam) and you will be safe!" They said, "You have conveyed Allah's message, O Aba-al-Qasim" Allah's Apostle then said to them, "That is what I want; embrace Islam and you will be safe." They said, "You have conveyed the message, O Aba-al-Qasim." Allah's Apostle then said to them, "That is what I want," and repeated his words for the third time and added, "Know that the earth is for Allah and I want to exile you from this land, so whoever among you has property he should sell it, otherwise, know that the land is for Allah and His Apostle." (Sahih al-Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Hadith 447).

Like prophet, like followers! The tone of the message the Muslims carried with themselves to the borders of Israel was the threat of utter destruction, just as the message of Muhammad resulted in the destruction of the Jewish community in Saudi Arabia so many years ago.

Hatred towards Jews is not a new, or only political, movement in Islam; it is deeply rooted and goes much further back than the 15th May, 1948, right to the beginning of Islam. The homes, land and wealth of those Jews who do not embrace Islam, belong to Muhammad and his community (the Umma in Arabic), in accordance with a creed established in the Quran in the seventh century AD:

He (Allah) gave you (Muslims) their lands (i.e. of the non-Muslims), and their dwellings, and their wealth, for an heritage – even a land on which you had never set foot: for the might of Allah is equal to all things (Q33:27).

Since the rise of Islam, this creed has been put into practice whenever pious Muslims reach power or have significant roles in Islamic countries. This was the reason that Muslims captured Israel after the death of Muhammad and paved the way for future clashes and blood-shed.

Islam is an anti-Semitic religion. It gives the right to every Muslim to take Jewish property by reciting the command of Muhammad to Jews: that the earth belongs to Allah and they must therefore be exiled from their homes and lands. This means that for Jews to prosper means disgrace and shame for Islam.

The root of this hatred goes deep and even the great initiatives and dollars of the West cannot extinguish the fire of Muslim hatred toward Jews or create peace in the area. For Muslims, Israel is not legitimate. It does not have a history in their history books or a map in their geography books. It does not even exist in their airline magazine maps. This obvious denunciation of the geographical Israel has been evident since its establishment in 1948. This has been ongoing partly due to the poorly designed foreign policies of western countries and the United Nations, who have chosen silence and indifference instead of meeting their international responsibility and demanding that principles of reciprocity be applied in the interests of peace.

Not only are Muslims taught to reject peace with Jews, but also to reject Jews themselves, and to destroy their interests wherever conditions are ripe. The whole philosophy of the PLO and the rise of Yasser Arafat were based on the Islamic belief that Jews ought to be fought against and humiliated until they embrace Islam. The invasions of Israel have not been because Muslims were oppressed by Jews or their lands were seized. Of course, Islamists need to paint their movement in this way in order to convince leaders in the West who were ignorant of this fact. They are claim victimhood in order to appear morally righteous in the eyes of the western media. This is ironic, as it is the absence of oppression which allows their propaganda to flourish. To increase the effectiveness of their work, they have aligned themselves with anti-Judeo-Christian socialist supporters in the west who have decided to embrace the Islamists, whom they regard as the 'working class'. These Western allies of Islamism reject democratic values — and the free-market economy — for the sake of establishing their own anti-capitalist socialism. However they are unaware that if Islamists come to power, they will persecute socialists also (as occurred in Iran after the 1979 Revolution).

Islamists are not allowed to use any factual reasoning in their approach to non-Muslims or in their opposition to Israel. Islam has stripped their life of any reason. No logic or intellectual coherence works for them; all that is left to them are contradictory and belligerent assertions. Read what Allah says in the Quran:

[Moses said to his people:] O my people! Enter the holy land (Palestine) which Allah has assigned to you, and turn not back (in flight) for then you will be returned as losers. They said: "O Musa (Moses)! In it (this holy land) are a people [Palestinians] of great strength, and we shall never enter it, till they leave it; when they leave, then we will enter." Two men of those who feared (Allah and) on whom Allah had bestowed His Grace [they were Yusha' (Joshua) and Kalab (Caleb)] said: "Assault them through the gate, for when you are in, victory will be yours, and put your trust in Allah if you are believers indeed." (Q.5:21-23 Noble Quran).

Even the Quran says that Israel belongs to Jews, not the Palestinians, for eternity. If the Quran does not give them any rights to land, then how have Jews been able to occupy land that they were not entitled to in the first place? This is where Islamists have been able to deceive many of their own followers, as well as westerners, due to their lack of knowledge in this matter, convincing them that the solution to war in the Middle-East is the division of Jerusalem. It is sad that many western politicians see this Islamic manipulation as great wisdom. The lack of knowledge about Islam is breathtaking in the West. The West does not yet see that Islam is a religion of confusion and invasion.

Hopefully, this article has shed some light on the religious nature of what has been viewed as a purely political event. What is being discussed here is deeper than just surface level politics. The implications of events taking place in Israel today will influence every aspect of our lives.

You may also hold the view that the Israel-Palestine struggle is purely political, yet consider this: in Islamic doctrine – according to some scholars – when the occupation of Israel is achieved, it will be used as the center of its power, through which the Islamization of the world will be achieved.

What then is our responsibility?

As members of the world community, we realize the importance of our right to protect our own borders. If any country’s freedom is threatened, we need to defend and uphold their freedom against such actions. Knowing that the Islamic doctrine of occupation begins with Israel and then extends to all other countries, we should combat this threat before it takes place. Many Muslims are unaware that this impending war will also bring disaster and struggles upon themselves. Many lives will be lost on both sides. It is our obligation to create awareness among them to prevent increased support for radical Islamists and their destructive doctrine.

For those of us who are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we know that we have been shown grace in receiving the peace that lasts for all eternity, through the ultimate sacrifice that was given to us through God’s son, Jesus. Yet, we know that in this world, war and disunity will reign until Jesus returns to end all injustice. Until this time comes, let us pray fervently to the Lord that He uses us as instruments to shine His light to Jews and Muslims alike; so that their hearts receive the peace that comes from knowing Christ as their Savior. Only then, will Israel be a place of peace.

Who Are Our Navigators And Where Are They Leading Us?

2011-04-30T21:19:00.000-07:00

The whole Middle-East is on the verge of falling into the hands of blood-thirsty radicals because of our leaders’ so-called humanitarianism. Our leaders are approaching radicals in the name of humanitarianism, but radicals are exploiting this approach to forge a new standard of fooling western politicians for the further strengthening of their strongholds against the West.

In our last update, I expressed my concerns over Carter’s and Obama’s positive views about the revolutionary movement of the Muslim Brotherhood, the radical Islamic group in Egypt. They held the view that the Muslim Brotherhood was a powerless minority, with no major influence in Egypt, and a friendly and peaceful opponent to the ruling government. President Obama placed considerable pressure on the Egyptian dictator, Hosni Mubarak, to step down and hand over the leadership to various opposing parties for the establishment of a democratic Egypt. He believed that if Hosni Mubarak stepped down, Egypt would have a healthier political future. The majority of American media supported Obama’s approach to Egypt. Some western politicians were even a step ahead of Obama, expressing their desire to build a positive relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood for the establishment of a peaceful Egypt. Now, we can see the result of such ignorant optimism; it has been paving the ground for the pro Hamas and al-Qaida radicals to penetrate the future government and destroy the remainder of peace in the area.

Similar foreign policy was also pursued by the West concerning Gaza and Lebanon, which both fell into the hands of terrorist groups of Hamas and Hezbollah! Now, Egypt is preparing itself for a theocracy and alliance with Hamas, thus establishing itself as a direct threat to Israel and the West. The same scenario is looming in various Islamic countries and the ground is ripe for radicals to take over.

It is greatly perplexing to see the decisions of our leaders in the Middle East throughout the past few years. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they have served their enemies, granting repeated opportunities for the establishment of more radical Islamic governments. It is such politicians as these who are the navigators of our societies. They have closed their eyes to the radical president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has turned Iran into a slaughterhouse and a serious threat to Israel and the West. They did force the government in Sudan to step down, despite massacring Christians and countless innocent victims for thirty years. Yet, the Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, who had been a friend to the West, fought radical Muslims, and was a barrier to Iran in equipping the terrorist governments of Hamas and Hezbollah, was compelled to leave.

This irresponsible foreign policy will go down in history as a shameful Western failure. Unlike Ahmadinejad, Mubarak had not oppressed his own nation to the same extent as Iran’s and Sudan’s dictators. It is truly mind-blowing that in the name of democracy our leaders are putting pressure on the less dangerous leaders in Islamic countries and creating space for vicious leadership to seize power!

Since the rise of Islam, the leadership in the Middle-East has always been either a totalitarian nightmare of radicals, or a nationalistic military dictatorship of moderate patriots who opposed radicalism to some extent. Maybe our leaders are not aware that in Islamic countries there can be no third option such as democratic leadership. Democratic leadership has not worked in the Islamic countries because Islam is not compatible with democracy. You cannot establish democracy in a community that is founded on totalitarianism in every aspect of life.

How can our leaders here in the West place their trust in revolutionary Muslims, who believe that democracy belongs to hell, while standing against less radical Muslim leaders? Are they willfully disregarding the fact that revolutionary Muslims have turned Iran, Lebanon, Gaza (Palestine in general), Sudan (now northern) and Somalia into hubs of terrorism? Why are they pushing the relatively secular Islamic governments to step down and make way for their radical Muslims citizens to seize power. In the name of equal opportunity and a so-called humanitarian approach, our leaders have been supporting radicals and even pouring millions of their tax-payers’ dollars into radical Islamic states (one example is Gaza), only to have that support turn against our societies.

Not only do our leaders lack an effective policy in fighting revolutionary and terrorist Muslims, but with their irresponsible words and actions, they have even been the cause for the continued growth of radicalism and increased unity among radicals, who are preparing themselves for a major war against Israel. The war, as the Bible has predicted in Ezekiel 38 & 39, is unavoidable, but, it is heartbreaking to see that some of our leaders have served the cause of this war rather than fighting against it.
Middle-Eastern countries are preparing themselves for such a destructive war. Sadly, the destructive nature of this war will come back to haunt those countries whose leaders have, intentionally or unintentionally, been opening more space for radicals to establish themselves in ever stronger positions.

Let us cry to the Lord to anoint Christ-like leaders for our societies, leaders who do not compromise with evil people, and do not conceal them from the attention of their people for the sake of political correctness or personal gains.

Let us cry to the Lord so that He comes and protects our lands from the destructive war of Islam. Let us humble ourselves in the presence of God, as He says: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Obama: A Second Carter for the Middle-East

2011-03-07T13:00:00.000-08:00

Jimmy Carter received a Nobel Peace Prize for his great efforts in paving the way for peace and democracy in the Middle East. One of his masterpieces was a friendly approach to the Ayatollah Khomeini, who established the Islamic Republic of Iran, the same Republic which has been shedding the blood of thousands of Iranians and has become a threat to the world.

Jimmy Carter said to his fellow citizens that there was nothing to worry about the Iranian radicals of the 1979 Revolution. Soon after this, his so called ‘peaceful Ayatollah’ took over the US embassy in Tehran and held its workers hostage for 444 days. Since then, the Ayatollah’s followers have been working diligently to attack American interests everywhere, and have even realized some of their anti-American objectives in some places via Hezbollah.

Carter has always tried to promote radicals as peaceful. His recent comment about the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood is another one of his shocking 'masterpieces'. He said that there is nothing to worry about the Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood is the mother of contemporary terrorism. It has given birth to Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Palestinian Liberation Army and almost all other Islamic terrorist groups in the Sunni countries.

The tolerance which Carter has shown toward radical Muslims is mind-blowing compared to his stand towards pro-democratic voices in the Middle-East. He hated the Shah of Iran, offering no help to him against radical Muslims. Carter even rejected the Shah's requests to enter America for surgery. The Shah was a pro-Western king and America’s long standing friend in the Middle-East.

It seems that America has really been missing Carter-type peace laureates, and for that reason has handed Carter’s torch over to another Nobel Peace laureate, President Obama.

Obama has continued the task of encouraging people not to worry about radical Muslims, this time the Muslim Brotherhood, who may also, in turn, establish an Iranian-style terrorist government in Egypt. Not only does it seem to be acceptable for the Muslim Brotherhood to take government, or take part in government, in Egypt: Obama is also trying to convince people to hold in high esteem the advances of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt’s struggle for peace and freedom.

Why are these presidents trying to teach Americans and the world to respect blood-thirsty radical Muslims? Are they trying to condition people to surrender? Are they trying to exalt the things radicals did in Iran and Lebanon in destroying secularism and democracy? Are they trying to hasten the unity of radical Muslims against Israel and the West? An interesting possibility!

Most Egyptians understand that the Muslim Brotherhood’s overriding focus is to establish Shari’a in Egypt and the world for the establishment of Islamic Imperialism: this is the dream of the Caliphate. In their own words, the Brotherhood have revealed that they cannot have peace with non-Muslims and their aim is to conquer Israel, America and the rest of the world. With their own actions they have proved they are serious about their claims. What more evidence do we need than their very own words and deeds to prove their inhumane stand towards humanity? Despite all the evidence, why do American presidents speak in favor of radical Muslims?

Americans have experienced evil things from the followers of the Muslim Brotherhood in their own homeland. There are more than enough credible documents which reveal the evil works and plans of the Muslim Brotherhood in and against America. Their followers have been pressing aggressively into all areas of American life in order to wage cultural and political warfare against its people, with the goal of eventually taking over from within, through infiltration of government agencies.

Are these presidents unaware of what the Muslim Brotherhood has done in America? Are they waiting for more to happen in order to accept the seriousness of the threat inside America itself? One cannot help asking what is wrong with these leaders!

The problem with Obama, Carter and many other world leaders is not that they are unable to see the very obvious threats posed to their countries by radical Muslims. Their problem is hearts overcome by political correctness and dulled by relativistic and ambiguous moral standards. While a child is able to distinguish the difference between what is good and what is bad, some of our leaders hesitate and fail to do so. What do we need to do in the face of such damaging attitudes?

Let us pray that our leaders wake up to the enormity of the threats posed by radical Muslims to our countries and to the world. Let our leaders be a blessing to people rather than a curse. Let us raise our caring, prophetic and victorious voices in Christ in order to drown out the noise of hostile ones (Isaiah 25:4-5) and pave the way for the Coming King who cares for people from every nation, race and language group, including Muslims.

"For you have been a refuge to the poor,
   a refuge to the needy in their distress,
   a shelter from the rainstorm and a shade from the heat.
When the blast of the ruthless was like a winter rainstorm,
   the noise of aliens like heat in a dry place,
you subdued the heat with the shade of clouds;
   the song of the ruthless was stilled."

Longing for a God Who Understands

2011-02-02T12:34:00.000-08:00

During the viewer question time of our live television presentation on December 2010, a young man called in from Iran. He was desperate. For years, he had been reciting the daily Islamic prayer to Allah in Arabic, but his pleas had not once been granted. As he spoke, the anguish in his voice brought tears to our eyes.

Although deeply moved by this young man’s longing, it was no surprise that his persistent prayers came to no avail. You see, there were two major obstacles in his communication with Allah. Firstly, he did not know Allah’s language, Arabic, and Allah did not accept his language, Persian, as a way of communication (or prayer). Secondly, even if Allah did accept his language, he would still not respond to his pleas since prayer in Islam is not directed at this life but the next, however uncertain that life may be.

How would you feel if you were in desperate need and cried out for help, but were ignored because of your nationality, language or race? This is what Allah and Islam have been doing to Muslims! Muslims should not pray in their own language but in Arabic only, a language which is foreign to most of them. So this young man was exhausted by Allah and longed for a God who could understand his language and listen to his cries. He eventually gave his heart to Jesus Christ because the God that Jesus reveals respects and understands all languages, and is able to establish a personal relationship with people in their own languages, in all the languages of the world.

After many years of opportunities and hard work, I am now able to speak four languages and a couple of dialects. Yet my ability to express myself fully and truly to God and understand Him better is only possible through the language I have grown up with, whose idioms and values I am so familiar with. This language makes my relationship with God more meaningful since I am able to speak to God using its full expressive powers. How could the true God reject such clear logic? He wouldn’t. But Allah of the Qur'an rejects this, because he is not the true God. The true God will not be deaf to me if I speak to Him in my own mother tongue because He is all-knowing. He understands the intimate language of our hearts.

If Allah ignores pleas not spoken in Arabic, will Allah’s pious Muslims be expected to act better than Allah and respect people’s rights and grant their needs? Absolutely not. For this reason, the approaches and attitudes of Muslim leaders to moderate Muslims, who do not learn Allah’s Arabic, have always been discriminatory, hostile and all too often bloody. Since the rise of Islam, many Muslims have cried to their Muslim governments and leaders for their rights, but received nothing more than indifference, exile, torture and death.

Now, with the expansion of media technology, many Muslims are able to discover the fundamental problems in Islam, revoke their allegiance to Allah and put their trust in Jesus Christ. God is using radio, television, and the internet to open their eyes to the truth that Jesus reveals. Though Muslim leaders have been spending millions of dollars each year to reduce the impact of Christian media on Muslims, we are still amazed at how, despite such obstacles, many Muslims are eager and trying every possible means to access Christian media at great risk.

We are so grateful that Christ has given us a satellite ministry opportunity, in addition to other opportunities, to speak through the media into the homes of millions of Persian speaking Muslims all over the world; to speak into their hearts of the transforming love of Christ. God has enabled our presentations to be fruitful and encouraging, leading many Muslims to Christ.

Is Moderate Islam a Solution?

2010-11-11T14:02:00.000-08:00

In the last days of his mission on earth, Muhammad left an unchangeable legacy for his followers to reject, humiliate and even kill moderate Muslims in addition to the annihilation of non-Muslims. Chapter 9 of the Quran is the last revelation that instructs the faithful followers of Muhammad on how to triumph over moderate Muslims, their disbelieving relatives and strangers. Allah perfected his revelation to Muhammad by revealing the verses of this chapter, thus bringing the Quran to its completion. This chapter promotes the assumption that if there was moderation prior to this text, it can no longer apply. It is Allah and Muhammad’s will that Muslims erase every kind of moderation among themselves and fight until a time when there is no more disbelief in the world and all submit to the religion of Allah.

Regarding the war against moderate Muslims, the Quran says:

O you who believe [Muslims]! Take not for protectors (guardians) your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong (Q.9:23).

We know that the word infidel in this verse refers to disbelieving Muslims, not literal relatives, as the same chapter later on gives instructions about disbelieving relatives:

You who believe [Muslims], kill any disbeliever who are close to you (relatives and neighbors) so that they may find out how harsh you are. Allah is with those who are pious (Q.9:123).

Verse 23 targets those Muslims who do not take their faith seriously, do not pray or fast, or take part in jihad, or in other Islamic rituals and events. They must be fought. Moderation in Islam was unbearable for Muhammad. He said:

I was about to order for collecting firewood and then order someone to pronounce the Adhan [call] for the prayer and then order someone to lead the people in prayer and then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves for the prayer (Bukhari V.9, Book 89, 330).

This hadith implies that moderate Muslims must be rejected, humiliated and burned by pious (harsh) Muslims. In verse 23, Allah and Muhammad order even the immature children of the moderate Muslims, who need protectors or guardians, to rebel against their fathers’ and brothers’ guardianship and disregard it. In other words, children are called to fight against their moderate parents and siblings in moderate Muslim families.

Many young boys who have been arrested for plotting terrorism in the western countries have been the children of moderate Muslims. One factor that has contributed to this is that the Quran, the only holy book for both moderate and radical Muslims, which is believed to be the most superior book in the world and wherever they go they proudly carry it with them. And as long as the Quran and Islam are with them, there will be much opportunity for radicalism to arise.

The kingdom of the Shah, the deceased ruler of Iran, was the height of freedom in the whole period since the start of Islam's occupation of the country. He lost to radicalism after four decades of resistance in 1979, through the radical son of moderate Muslims, the Ayatollah Khomeini.

In the time of war between Iran and Iraq, boys, as young as 12 years old, were encouraged to disregard the guardianship of their moderate parents to take part in the war against the so-called ‘national’ and ‘international infidels’. Some of these young children lost their lives in this war and fulfilled the call of Ayatollah Khomeini for jihad and martyrdom without the consent of their parents.

Eight decades ago, Ataturk, the leader of Turkey, established a system to push the radicalism of Islam back. He promoted marshal law so that moderates could defeat radicalism. In respect to this law, a coup d’état took place in 1960 which resulted in the hanging of the ruling Prime Minister, Menderes, who aimed to regulate life in Turkey by the Shari’a, the law of Islam. Yet even the giant moderate army in Turkey has been unable to democratize Turkey in its real sense as the current Prime Minister, Tayyip Erdogan, a committed Muslim, has successfully pushed back moderation in order to establish radical Islam. On September 17, 2010, in a memorial speech for deceased Prime Minister Menderes, Erdogan declared that Menderes and his friends were killed for Allah. He recently got the approval of his nation with 58 percent vote in order to amend the judiciary that protects Turkey’s secularism. Even Obama, the US President, congratulated him for this progress in the name of democracy, without being concerned that he has been paving the way for further Islamization of Turkey.

Now, despite all this clear evidence, Western leaders, intellectuals and media not only trust moderate Islam, but the radicals too, as long as they claim that they are moderate! In the name of moderation, Muslims are now able to block the roads in Paris illegally in order to hold their prayers in groups, to build a mosque at Grand Zero, and to fight against those who aim to educate people about Islam.

If Islamic countries have been unable to establish democratic nations with their own moderate Islam, how will the West be able to establish such an Islamic community within itself? Islam has already regulated all aspects of life for all present and future Muslims. No Muslim has the right to cross the boundaries of Islam and adapt himself to other values; if he does, he will come face to face with family and community punishments.

Islam, either moderate or radical, is a barrier to true freedom. How superior to know and abide by the values of Christ, which uphold freedom and love. It is the beauty of such values that we must share, in word and deed, with Muslims.

Nor do they [the followers of Christ] light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all ... Matthew 5:15 (NIV)

Allah the Opportunist and the Veiling of Women

2010-09-09T15:54:00.000-07:00

The veil in Islam is described as protecting women’s modesty, so that they do not tempt men or bring dishonor to their families. Is this what it means in practice?

For about 14 years, from the birth of Islam in Mecca until the rise of Islam as an authoritarian religion in Medina, Muslim women were walking uncovered and Allah did not worry about their modesty or their families’ honor. He only stepped in after 14 years, when Muhammad and his pious followers attacked Jews and Pagans, and slaughtered their men, but spared their wives and girls for themselves as wives and slaves. Before Muhammad came, the Jews of Medina were 75% of its population. Some Jewish men were forced to flee Arabia but the others were all killed. Imagine the number of Jewish women and girls that were left behind for Muhammad and his followers! Added to this were the many pagan girls and women whose tribes did not want to follow Islam and lost their men fighting the Muslims. The resulting abundance of women for an inexperienced leader, Muhammad, and his followers created great disarray. Wherever he went or invaded he made himself overridingly busy with women. He even slept with a 17 years old Jewish woman called Safiyah in the same night after her husband was beheaded in front of her own eyes. Her father and brothers had also been killed by Muhammad’s order in another massacre a few months before this (Muhammad’s biography by Ibn Hisham, p.755ff; Ibn Sa’d, p.77f).

Not only non-Muslim women and girls were victims of the pious followers of Allah: Muslim women were too. We read in chapter 33 of the Quran of how Muhammad fell in love with his own daughter-in-law, Zeynab (the wife of his own adopted son), and eventually got her to become his own wife. Antoher time, he called a Muslim girl to his bed, slept with her at night, did not like her body so sent her back to her home the following morning. As a result, he gave the right to every Muslim man to check the private parts of a Muslim girl first before marrying her. As an ex-Muslim, I know how disgusted Muslim girls are by this practice, but in the meantime pious Muslims still honor this teaching.

Such abuses were all fine according to Allah and did not bother his so-called philosophy of modesty, as long as everything was according to the desires of his beloved prophet, Muhammad. Since Allah was being created in Muhammad’s own image, this god was ready to do everything for Muhammad’s pleasure. He revealed to Muslims in the same chapter 33 that Muhammad could not be called a father to Muslims but his wives were like mothers to them. In other words, Muslims were forbidden to take any of Muhammad’s abandoned wives as wives for themselves, but Muhammad had right to take any of their wives if he desired. This was the kind of example Muhammad set for his followers; he had more rights than other. Others did not have the same rights toward Muhammad as Muhammad had to them. Despite all this, Allah still calls him the best model in the Quran: In Allah’s messenger, you have a fine model… (Q33:21).

Every Muslim leader or scholar believes that Allah’s presence was more active in the time and life of Muhammad than for any other leader before or since. Allah never left Muhammad alone: he was present in everything he did in order to present him as a good role model to his surroundings. What was done to women by Muhammad was all done in the presence of Allah and by his permission. It was in Muhammad’s time that Allah revealed his so-called eternal and practicable words in the Quran, saying that Muhammad’s wives were like mothers to Muslims. Despite the presence of Allah, and his eternal Quran and Muhammad being the best role model, one of Allah’s pious followers had an affair with Muhammad’s most beloved wife, Aisha, who was called a mother to him. In other words, the Islamic cover for protecting the modesty of women did not work despite the active presence of Allah and his using his best man Muhammad. Why? Because Muhammad himself was not able to live according to the law of covering women: so he legitimized that boys had right to check the bodies of girls with whom they wanted to get married, exposing the modesty of women to threat again. Muhammad had always an exemption so that men could break the law. Now, Muslims want to keep the modesty of their women via covering them up. What nonsense!

Some of Muhammad’s own followers, who were exhausted and unable to correct Muhammad, asked him to force ladies to stay at home (Q33:33) or to cover themselves fully if they went out. They were not able to restrain Muhammad and therefore showed the edges of their swords to the already depressed women. He did not listen to them immediately, but after things got really unbearable, his Allah stepped in and decided to protect women’s honor and therefore decreed veiling. Interestingly, Allah revealed his decree in the same chapter where he allowed Muhammad to have his daughter-in-law as his wife, or any other women he desired to have, as recorded in chapter 33:

O Prophet! Speak to your wives and to your daughters, and to the wives of the faithful, that they let their veils fall low. Thus they will not be known more easily, and they will not be affronted (Q33:59).

In the verses 60-62 of the same chapter, Allah says this is his way, and anyone (especially non-Muslims) who comes against this must be slaughtered.

Can you imagine that despite such a harsh decree there is a way provided for Allah’s pious followers to satisfy their fleshly desires at the cost of women’s modesty?

We learn from the Qur’an itself that women are not compelled to guard their private parts from their fathers, father-in-laws, their own sons or stepsons, brothers, nephews, slaves or even their sterilized male attendants. They also can show their private parts to children who have not yet shown any interest in women’s nakedness:

And speak to the believing women that they refrain their eyes, and observe continence; and that they display not their [private parts and] ornaments, except those which are external; and that they throw their veils over their bosoms, and display not their ornaments, except to their husbands or their fathers, or their husbands’ fathers, or their sons, or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male domestics who have no natural force, or to children who note not women’s nakedness. And let them not strike their feet together, so as to discover their hidden ornaments. And be ye all turned to God, O ye Believers! that it may be well with you (Q24:31).

This Arabic verse of the Qur’an uses the word “foroujahonna” which clearly implies the private and sexual parts of women. The word “foroujahonna”, which is missing in translation, comes before the word “ornaments”. Rather than translating the exact meaning of the Arabic word in this specific passage of the Quran, the majority of translations use much milder words. In English, words such as ‘private parts’ or ‘continence’ are used. The Noble Quran’s English translation includes the “private parts”, but places them inside brackets, confusing readers so that they will not understand that this could be a part of the Quran itself. Moreover the word “farj” (the singular of the term “foroujahanna”) is used in reference to Mary, Jesus’ mother, in Q66:12, referring to her private parts: the angel Jibril (Gabriel) is said to have breathed into Mary’s vulva when allegedly causing Jesus to be conceived.

What is this bizarre covering which Muhammad and the god of his image, Allah, have created for people? What are these two extremes: On one hand, Allah forces women to cover themselves in order to protect themselves from tempting men, but on the other hand, he exposes their nakedness to their male relatives? Isn’t this mocking women? Isn’t this opportunist? Isn’t this saying that even a veil is not able to protect women’s modesty?

How will people be able to escape sexual immorality if Allah’s prophet was not able to stay away of it, or if the Qur’an teaches women to neglect protecting their private parts from most male relatives and others close to them? Consider a city or village whose population is only made up of relatives and others who are mentioned in the above verse. If women in the streets of that city or village were encouraged to follow the teaching of the Qur’an, how would she be looked upon? What kind of moral message would the children of the families from that village or city take out to the rest of the world? Wouldn’t the boys of that village feel justified in raping their family members or going to rape the women and girls of other villages?

All the evidence points to the fact that Muhammad was not ready in his heart to protect women’s modesty. If his heart was ready, he would not have needed a veil to protect women’s honor; his heart was not ready and for this reason he was not able to find a real tool for combating the urge to immorality. Muhammad, therefore, has not left a genuine legacy for Muslims to protect the modesty of their women through the veil.

Islamic history provides great testimony of veil’s uselessness. So many ladies have been stoned and hanged over 14 centuries of Islamic history because Muhammad’s decrees were impractical. Pious Muslims ignore this fact and are hesitant in putting an end to Muhammad’s mistakes. Instead they march ahead to establish their Islam everywhere and bring dishonor to all women in the world with their veil.

Do Not Let Pious Muslims Dictate What We Do

2010-08-02T20:41:00.000-07:00

Muslims in Western countries are benefiting from all aspects of democracy more than the followers of any other religion. This is evident in their push for westerners to live in an Islamic way. How would it be if the tables were turned and non-Muslims fell under the rule of Islam? Would Muslims treat non-Muslims as equal to themselves?

Non-Muslims will never achieve equal rights with Muslims a country ruled by Islamic law. The Quran asks Muslim rulers to humiliate the non-Muslims who are under their rule (Q.9:29). The following set of principles is called the Pact of Umar. They reveal the Islamic legal structures for to dealing with the so-called ‘People of the Book’ — such as Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians — living among communities ruled by Islamic law. The Pact is attributed to Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second successor to and father-in-law of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam:

Christians and Jews shall not build, in their cities or in Muslims’ neighborhoods, new monasteries, churches, convents, or monks’ cells, nor shall they repair, by day or by night, such of them as fall in ruins or are situated in the quarters of the Muslims.
Christians and Jews shall keep their gates wide open for passersby and travelers. They shall give board and lodging to all Muslims who pass their way for three days.
Christians and Jews shall not give shelter in their churches or in their dwellings to any spy, nor hide him from the Muslims.
Christians and Jews shall not teach the Koran to their children.
Christians and Jews shall not manifest their religion publicly nor convert anyone to it. They shall not prevent any of their kin from entering Islam if they wish it.
Christians and Jews shall show respect toward the Muslims, and they shall rise from their seats when Muslims wish to sit.
Christians and Jews shall not seek to resemble the Muslims by imitating any of their garments.
Christians and Jews shall not mount on saddles, nor shall they gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on their persons.
Christians and Jews shall not engrave Arabic inscriptions on their seals.
Christians and Jews shall not sell fermented drinks.
Christians and Jews shall clip the fronts of their heads. [An Arab sign of being conquered and having your life spared.]
Christians and Jews shall always dress in the same way wherever they may be, and they shall bind the zunar [a distinct kind of belt] round their waists.
Christians and Jews shall not display their crosses or their books in the roads or markets of the Muslims. They shall use only clappers [and not bells] in their churches very softly. They shall not raise their voices when following their dead. They shall not take slaves who have been allotted to Muslims.
Christians and Jews shall not build houses higher than the houses of the Muslims.
Whoever strikes a Muslim with deliberate intent shall forfeit the protection of this pact.

(Source: Al-Turtushi, Siraj al-Muluk, pages 229-230, and http://www.conservapedia.com/Pact_of_Umar.)

Imagine what has been happening to non-Muslims in Islamic countries throughout the 1400 years of Islamic history since the rise of Islam! They have faced unceasing persecutions of every kind, and even genocidal attacks whenever a member of a non-Christian community was unable to follow the above instructions, ignored or rebelled against them.

It is too soon for committed Muslims to reveal the contents of the above Pact in the West. This is what they did in their dominated lands. At first, they did not rush to establish the above legal structure in a non-Muslim country when they were the minority. They started with laws that concerned their own personal or community life. They began by establishing:

The Islamic practice of polygamy in which a man may have four legal wives, if he wishes.
Islamic family law which gives men authority to rule over their wives and children, and if necessary to banish them.
The Islamic family court, so that Muslim men are not interrogated for their bad behavior against their wives and children in a non-Islamic court. (Islamic law explicitly forbids questioning a man about such abuses.)
The cry of Adhan, the call from the minarets of mosques for gathering and group prayers.

The list goes on …

After they established themselves with the above in their ghettos and grew in strength, they then put pressure on officials to limit non-Muslims from entering or running activities in the ghettos. Once successfully achieved, they continued to extend the exercise of their power in other areas also.

A few years ago, we all witnessed through the media how Muslim mobs asked police officers in France not to enter their zones when they were rioting and burning in many places. In Birmingham, England, police officers stopped two Christian evangelists, who were spreading the message of Christ, informing them that Birmingham was a Muslim area and that, consequently, they were not allowed to speak about Christianity there. (Source: http://theapostolicreport.wordpress.com/category/evangelism/).

One of the Muslim leaders in England was quoted as saying: “we will not submit to any man-made law, any government, or any Prime Minister — Bush or Brown — or Jacqui Smith. We submit to Allah.” (Source: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29455).

Gordon Brown was the only Prime Minister among all Prime Ministers in England who uniquely spoke in favor of Islam and allowed the establishment of Islamic Courts in England in order to please Muslims. Yet see how this Muslim leader disregards even Gordon Brown’s servant-hood to Islam, simply because Brown was still following a law shaped by Judeo-Christian values.
Shahid Malik, a Muslim MP, is another prime example of one who is actively seeking the establishment of Islamic law in the UK through an undermining of democracy. As a Labour MP for Dewsbury and a Justice Minister, he addressed Muslims in a Muslim gathering, saying that Muslims’ community in England had only one Muslim MP in the House of Lords in 1997, in 2001 they had two Muslim MPs and in 2005 they had four Muslim MPs. He continued to say that Muslims were aiming to have ten Muslim MPs in 2009, fourteen MPs in 2014, twenty MPs shortly after that, and eventually a Muslim UK Prime Minister.

(Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZM2SA4QOXw).

The restrictions on Christians and the problem of anti-Semitism have already become a concern, with just a handful of Muslim representatives in the UK parliament. What should be expected when they achieve an Islamic Prime Minister? The result will be the above-mentioned Pact of Omar and Quran’s verses of humiliation of non-Muslims. Not only have the Labor Party leaders in England been closing their eyes to the plans of committed Muslims, but they have also been paving the way for committed Muslims to establish themselves in a stronger and stronger position at the expense of democratic values.

Pious Muslims have an agenda that directly jeopardizes the Judeo-Christian values of the West. We must exercise wisdom and not be fooled by the pseudo-democratic tactics of these pious followers of the Islamic way.

When We Are Less Wise Than Pious Muslims!

2010-07-01T16:00:00.000-07:00

It is so dangerous when we become busy with our present mission and do not see what the future holds for us according to the intentions of our enemies, whose tasks are to destroy and devour. When we become too preoccupied with superficial things, and stay unaware of or indifferent to our enemies' plans, then the future we portray in our minds or to our nations will remain a fantasy.

Relativism is running our media and academia today and they, therefore, do not see it as necessary to worry about enemies, because enemies and friends are alike. But this will not last much longer. When pious Muslims get into power they will send their narrators to the media, academic world, and to everyone everywhere in order to shout messages from the blood-stained pages of the Quran, and say that relativism is over because Islam is now in power. This is what pious Muslims have been doing for generations throughout history. After they moved to new areas where they were not yet in power, they deceivingly said ‘your god and our god is the same’ or ‘your beliefs and ours are the same’. Ignorant natives believed them and the pressure of this false belief caused them to ignore their own beliefs and cultural values, and eventually surrender to Islam. Pious Muslims are very talented in confusing people and in taking advantage of that confusion. Their talents are obviously at play in the West. For instance, if pious Muslims were pro-democracy why do they not tolerate the critics of Islam and instead make every effort to sideline them? How would radicalization grow in the West if these pious Muslims taught tolerance and rejected hatred? How is it that Islamic terrorism has become an increasing concern in the West nearly a decade after September 11, despite the presence of so-called 'moderate' pious Muslims?

Not only are pious Muslims not fighting against terrorism, but they themselves are trying to tie the hands and legs of our policy makers in the West to stay indifferent to terrorism. Who has caused our politicians, media and educators to avoid using terms such as "Islamism," "Islamic fundamentalism," "Islamic radicalism," or “Jihadists”? Aren’t they pious Muslims? Pious Muslims are convincing our officials that these terms have nothing to do with Islam and they must not be used in public. These Muslims know that the majority of our politicians, media and leaders do not wish to resist terrorism personally for fear of risking their position or greater support, all under the pressure of political correctness. For this reason, these Muslims are trying to convince leaders to give up the fight in public too, so that terrorists can gain better opportunities or more energy for jihad. On the other hand, if pious Muslims are successful in removing the blame of terrorism on Islam, then onto whom will the blame of terrorism fall? Clearly, it will be on America and/or the West! This is why the pious Muslims have already voiced that the Fort Hood shooting, the Times Square bomb plot and England’s train disaster were all caused by the West’s own citizens, having nothing to do with Islam or their background or country of origin. Isn’t this clever? It is of great concern that these minority Muslims have been able to force and manipulate our politicians, university leaders and others to issue laws in favor of Islam, while hindering us from discovering the real threat to the values of our communities and countries.

It seems that many of our politicians and leaders are hypnotized and unable to grasp the fact that crime and terrorism cannot be analyzed without understanding a people’s way of life, beliefs and the methodical terms which are established to reflect the meaning of their beliefs. How can we understand the meaning of Hitler’s, Stalin’s, or Ayatollah Khomeini’s words and actions without analyzing the beliefs, revolutionary movements, and strategic terms attached to their movements and beliefs? Can we deny the relevance of the link between their ideologies and their actions, when they themselves have confirmed that their motivation is their own beliefs? My goodness! Some of our politicians, editors and journalists, who call themselves modern and are intellectually brilliant people, act as insensible entities when it comes to their political and social responsibilities. They deliberately try to misunderstand, avoid, or censor facts in order to direct people’s minds elsewhere. What a great achievement these pious Muslims have made! They are good servants to their prophet, Muhammad, who taught his followers to dominate their opposition and critics in any possible way, and eventually slaughter them. It is truly shocking to see evidence of this at the center of the West, the heartland of freedom.

Terms like “Islamism,” “Islamists,” “Jihadists,” and the like were not devised by the West. Such terms have always been associated with pious Muslims wherever they have been active. For centuries, nominal Muslims and non-Muslim natives have been using such terms in order to describe pious Muslims. Even pious Muslims themselves identified themselves proudly with these terms. One of the Iranian chief revolutionary army members called jihad 'Holy Terrorism', a terrorism ordained by Allah (Q. 8:59). Phrases like these describe the identities of pious Muslims. We will not be able to know them and have an accurate picture of them unless we analyze their actions in the light of such terms. So many pious Muslims are pro-terrorism because Islam asks them to be so.

It is blasphemy for pious Muslims to have peace with non-Muslims unless it is for the purpose of deception. They introduce themselves as moderates under the guise of democracy in order to gain momentum for establishing and strengthening themselves, for their eventual domination. In the West, they are exactly following the footsteps of their prophet, Muhammad. After fleeing from Mecca to Medina as a refugee, Muhammad portrayed himself as a peaceful man and prophet of a god. The democratic atmosphere of Medina provided a safe haven for him and any one else to believe in and say anything they wished. He did not experience any opposition for calling himself a prophet. He only met with opposition when he later got involved in looting caravans. His unethical actions shocked the inhabitants of Medina as a peaceful prophet of a peaceful religion sanctioned the invasion of caravans, looting others and terrorizing those who criticized him for his actions. Medina had never before heard that looting and terrorizing could be sanctioned by Allah, the contemporary pagan’s chief god. Some highly respected natives, who cared for their communities and worried about the insecurity Muhammad was creating in their homeland, criticized him of his strange teaching and actions. In response, he sent his pious followers to assassinate them secretly. We can find in Muhammad’s own biography, The Life of Muhammad, how a peaceful Muhammad changed into someone who ceased to tolerate his critics and opposition after he further established his roots. An elderly man named Abu Afak expressed his dissatisfaction through a poem, calling his patron tribe to withdraw from being under the leadership of the prophet of Islam and follow someone who cared for the communities in Medina. Muhammad, unable to bear Abu Afak's criticism, sent his devoted followers at night to stab him to death in his sleep. This hostile attitude towards an elderly man outraged the inhabitants of Medina, who valued the presence of elderly people highly. As a result, a woman named Asma requested retaliation, as the law of the land necessitated. Muhammad again sent his messengers at night and they slaughtered her in front of her young children (The Life of Muhammad, by Ibn Ishaq, PP. 675-676).

Western countries are like Medina for pious Muslims. In their migration to the West, they follow the exact footsteps of Muhammad. The best contemporary example is the Muslim Brotherhood. The members of the Muslim Brotherhood were rejected and persecuted in Egypt because of their strong stand for Islam. Some of them were able to escape and take refuge in Europe and America. We can see now how the members of the Muslim Brotherhood are dealing with Europeans and Americans who sheltered them. They have been terrorizing western values, ways of life and people. They have pushed for:

1.    Shari’a courts, disregarding the sovereignty of western laws.
2.    Separate swimming pools and school rules, imposing their way of life in the West.
3.    Removing pork menus from cafeteria menus, pushing westerners to live in an
       Islamic way.
4.    Special treatment in work areas, disrespecting and disregarding Judeo-Christian
       Work Ethic.
5.    Laws excluding Muslim taxi drivers from carrying those who are drunk,
       carrying alcohol or dogs.

Once, the members of the Muslim Brotherhood were homeless and desperate for a country to give a shelter to them, but now they are aiming to destroy the life of the country that took pity on them and sheltered them kindly. Why? Because deception is their religion and spiritual identity.

We must exercise more wisdom against the clever tactics of pious Muslims. Why should we allow our countries to be easy prey for those who are striving for the destruction of our freedom? Why shouldn’t we say “no” to them and to those who stand behind these dictatorial gurus?

Let us not keep quiet and expose ourselves to a noxious and tormenting future. Let us wake up, speak out and live for freedom.

The Name of Israel Will Be Remembered No More!?

2010-05-10T21:38:00.000-07:00

I never cease to be amazed at how the enemies of Israel have been trying to destroy her for thousands of years, aiming to annihilate her, so that no record of her name, Biblical values and God would remain in history. Yet amazingly she still survives. As an ex-fundamentalist Muslim, reading the following passage for the first time, I was astonished by what the Psalmist wrote:

They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, so that the name Israel may be remembered no more.” For with one heart they have plotted together; they have made a covenant against You-- the tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarites; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the people of Tyre; and Assyria has joined with them; they have helped the sons of Lot (Psalm 83:4-8).

Who are these nations who were drawn into such unity against Israel? To my amazement, they are the forefathers of the Saudi Arabians, Palestinians, Jordanians and non-Aryan Iraqis, who were living in the area centuries before the rise of Islam.

Eventually, Islam revealed itself as the best servant of hostility and established itself as the political religion of these nations, employing all available means to destroy Israel and remove her name from the face of the earth. It is quite remarkable that despite millennia of opposition to Israel, she is still a nation, has a land to govern with the rule of law, and will be around until the end of history.

Why? What is the secret behind the survival of Israel?

The answer is in the Bible. God chose Israel and set her aside for Himself in order to fulfill His eternal plan for the nations through her. Throughout history, God has proven that Israel’s protection, judgment, punishment, blessing and deliverance all were, are and will be according to God’s plan as laid out in the Bible. Time and time again, nations united against Israel, but God crushed them because their confederacies were against God’s plan. They were ignorant and did not know that they would not be able to destroy the ones whom God has decided to preserve for Himself, even if the forces of the earth unite against them.

What a lesson this is for the Church of God! We see and experience how the enemies of today’s Church unify to destroy the body of Christ, yet they are unaware that they are face to face with the Most High God. This is what must encourage the children of God and unite them to take refuge in God, whose almighty love has preserved the Church for Himself.

The enemies of the God of Israel failed to understand the true reason for the failure of their schemes. This is the same intelligence our contemporary world lacks. The Islamic world thinks that the so-called Great Satan, America and the West, is behind Israel and Christianity. So, too, do the Leftists, who think that it is Capitalism that benefits from the survival of Israel and Christianity, and this is supposed to explain attempts to preserve them. Those who hold such views do not consider the irrationality of their beliefs, in light of the fact that neither America nor Capitalism were present throughout the millennia to protect the name of Israel or stand behind God’s Church.

Israel is the Israel of God, whether the world likes this or not. God wants the world to respect her existence. If the world respects God’s Israel, this is absolutely an act of respect for God, but if it does not, this is, in effect an act against the God of Israel. The life of Israel is hid with Christ in God in a mysterious way. If the world knew this, it would not want to hate them as it does.

Ignorance has filled the world and many are unable to understand how a tiny community, Israel, survived through thousands of years despite the hostility of many nations towards its people. Unfortunately, it is regarded as politically incorrect to desire to wake up the West to the truth of God’s plan for Israel. You may be called a racist, fascist or Nazi by pious Muslims, as well as by many leftists or humanists. Yet by no means has God rejected Israel. God has a covenant with her, and at the end He will send His deliverer to Zion to save her from her sins and enemies (Romans 11:1, 26).

The leaders of some nations have turned against Israel and exposed their countries to the wrath of God. Because of economic dependency, they are aligning their plans with the plans of cruel Islamic leaders who follow Muhammad. They have already brought the wrath of God on themselves by fighting against the existence of Israel (Zacharia 9). The Allah of Muhammad is quite opposite to the God of Abraham and Israel. They are opposites of each other in every aspect. While the God of Israel guarantees freedom, Allah ordains war against freedom and threatens those who stand for freedom. Biblical values are in stark contrast to the authoritarian god of Islam, and it is for this reason that pious Muslims are nervous about our task of awakening the world to their plans. They are doing everything they can in order to prevent us, for they know that the growth of freedom means the death of Islam.

Therefore, let us pray for those of our leaders who have, consciously or unconsciously, united with the enemies of Israel. Let us express our concerns to these leaders and the world; that we love our nations and countries and do not want to unite with the enemies of Israel, exposing our nations to the wrath of God. Let us pray for the enemies of Israel. so that they can see the plan of God for Israel. Let us pray for a change in Israel’s enemies, so they will respect her right as a nation and understand that their plans cannot prevail against the plan of God for Israel. Let us pray for the salvation of Jews so that they, like the Psalmist, might rely on God’s wisdom and leadership, and not on their own limited human power:

Keep not silence, O God; … Your enemies roar; and those who hate You have lifted up their head (Psalm 83:1-2).

Pious Muslim are not Allowed to Befriend Non-Muslims

2010-04-05T15:49:00.000-07:00

On March 10, 2010, Mr. Abraham Wishnoff wrote an article against my talk in the The Citizen newspaper in Auburn/NY, calling me “ignorant, an opportunist and the promoter of hatred similar to that of Nazi Germany”.

Why did the young Mr. Wishnoff attribute such malicious labels to me, especially when he knew that I had Islamic references for each part of my talk? After the talk, I also had the privilege of talking to Mr. Wishnoff personally. As part of our conversation, he said that he had studied Islam but hadn’t seen anything concerning the degradation of women and killing infidels. He was keen to know the references and, per his request, I sent several to him. It is hard to believe that the writer of the article in The Citizen is the same young Mr. Wishnoff I met on the evening of Feb 21. He expressed a little concern for the way I was exposing Islam, but his total response expressed disappointment about Islam especially when I kindly challenged him, “How could you follow Islam without knowing Islam?”

Unfortunately, this is a problem with many young Muslims like Mr. Wishnoff. When you talk to them individually, they show courage to investigate and learn, but after they go back to their mentors they have no choice but to follow the instruction of the Quran about opposition. A person who disputes the Quran or challenges Muhammad and questions his authority or blames him for borrowing from other beliefs (Q8:6,13,31) is called hostile (v.15), deaf, dumb and worst of beasts (v.22). The penalty for such a person is that his finger tips and head must be chopped off (v.12). The Quran also says: They who dispute the signs of Allah without authority having reached them (non-Muslims) are greatly hated by Allah and the believers. So Allah seals up every arrogant, disdainful heart (Q40:35).

Islam teaches Muslims how to prepare the way for dominance. It starts with slandering others. Pious Muslims are called to accuse others first in order to prepare the mind of their followers for invasion, terrorism and finally dominance. This is what some parents do with their children or leaders do with their followers in Islamic communities. They accuse Jews and the West in front of their own children and followers, preparing their young Muslims for martyrdom in order to go and persecute, or even kill those hated by their parents and leaders. False accusations work when people are ignorant.

Mr. Wishnoff and his mentors are very well aware that most Americans do not know Islam personally and therefore they are able to fulfill Allah’s instruction to deceive them. The Quran says: The best of deceivers is Allah (Q8:30) and Swifter to deceive is Allah (Q.10:21). Muhammad said to use your property, your persons and your tongues in striving against the polytheists (Sunan Abu-Dawud : Book 14 : Hadith 2498). Since Allah and Muhammad encouraged deception and lies, how can their call to Islam's followers lead to genuine peace and truth?

Non-Muslims need to read the Quran and know Islam personally in order to understand Islam. No matter how well pious Muslims act in their relationship with non-Muslims, their goal is destruction and dominance. Many people in the West are deceived by Muslims’ interfaith dialogues and peace plans without knowing their motivations. Their motivation cannot be friendship and peace, for the Quran says:

Christians and Jews are animals and unclean (Q2:65; 5:60; 62:5; 9:28).
Allah’s curse be on those who call Jesus the Son of God (Q9:29).
Allah has sent his apostle (Muhammad) with a religion of the truth, that he may make it victorious over every other religion (Q9:33).
He (Allah) gave you (Muslims) their (non-Muslims’) lands, and their dwellings, and their wealth, for an heritage – even a land on which you had never set foot: for the might of Allah is equal to all things (Q33:27).
Prepare against the infidels (Christians and Jews) whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them (Q8:59).
Muslims must not befriend non-Muslims (Q4:89,144; 5:51).

How could pious Muslims, including Mr. Wishnoff, try to build a sincere friendship with others against the will of their Allah, Quran and Muhammad? They could if they followed a principle of Islam called taqiyya. Taqiyya is a deceptive tactic used to successfully penetrate or invade a non-Muslim community by creating an image of Islam as peaceful and non-threatening, for gaining the community’s trust. Politically, socially and morally taqiyya means that Muslims have to use every lie they can in order to spread Islam and win the war against opposition from non-Muslims. Muhammad commanded Muslims to deceive non-Muslims. The Quran also instructs Muslims to "Accept anything the messenger (Muhammad) may give you, and keep away from anything he withholds from you" (Q59:7). Not only are pious Muslims unable to have peace with others, but also they pose a danger to peace as long as they call themselves faithful and pious.

These pious Muslims call us bigots, Nazis or racists, simply because we have been exposing the plans of their religion, Islam, to the world. They are following the exact footsteps of their prophet who first accused his opponents falsely, then destroyed them and finally established the authoritarian law of Islam, Shari’a.

I am so fortunate that I am face to face with Mr. Wishnoff and his pious brothers in America (and in other non-Islamic countries) where Islam is not dominant, otherwise, he would have to obey his mentors and take my head to them. God forbid, if one day Islam dominates America, then every deceived American will see the reality according to the Quran:

You who believe (Muslims), kill any disbeliever who are close to you (relatives and neighbors) so that they may find out how harsh you are. Allah is with those who are pious (Q.9:123).

A pious Muslim is very harsh in his heart. If he shows himself as gentle, that is not what he believes.

What a privilege for us to reveal the true identity of pious Muslims to the world. They are inwardly tearing wolves that come to people in sheep's clothing. If Jesus did not transform us from the piety of Islam into His kingdom and if we did not have the love of Christ in our hearts for the world, we wouldn’t want to expose ourselves to the hostilities of pious Muslims. To express our love towards the world, we have no choice but to reveal the schemes of enemies, even if it may cost our lives.

In the meantime, we are hoping and praying that our revelation about Islam will help these pious Muslims to wake up and understand that with Islam they cannot be in the service of God. Islam is an authoritarian political system that ignores peoples’ rights. It cannot reconcile Muslims to God and to people. Rather, it is faith in Christ, whose sacrifice has brought down the walls of hostility between nations, which brings us true reconciliation:

For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him (John 3:16-17).

The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work (1John 3:8b), establish justice in the hearts of nations (Matthew 12:20-21), and create peace among nations and between nations and God (Colossians 1:20).

Brothers and Sisters, let us remember that “… whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)

Who Are the Protectors of Freedom?

2010-03-07T11:02:00.000-08:00

To respond to this question we need to know what freedom is and then examine our communities, schools, universities, leaders and governments and see their stand towards freedom.

What and where is freedom? How do we receive and protect freedom?

The Bible says:

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).

By setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God (1 Corinthians 4:2).

When a prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah, if the thing does not follow nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him (Deuteronomy 18:21).

The Bible believes that man is capable of knowing the truth and allowing the truth to free him from untruth. So, freedom means knowing the truth, being occupied by the truth and being freed from untruth. The Bible gives responsibility to man to investigate, compare and discover the truth and eventually allow the truth to take possession of him, enabling him to protect freedom.

To know the truth, we have no choice but to read the beliefs in the world and embrace the one which is true.

Let us see how Islam, atheism, secular humanism and the New Age describe freedom:

Allah is the leading force in Islam, and he says:

No one knows its (Quran’s) hidden meanings except Allah (Quran 3:7).

…they (unbelievers) dispute about Allah. And he is mighty in strength and severe in punishment (Q.13:13).

It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Apostle to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Apostle, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path (Quran 33:36).

The Quran neither believes in human beings' capacity for understanding nor in their capacity for decision making. It is Allah and Muhammad who decide for us all. In other words, people must follow Allah without knowing him and receive whatever Muhammad gives to him. If we rejects or question Muhammad’s authority (Q.8:6, 13, 31) we will be called hostile (v.15), deaf, dumb and worst of beasts (v.22) and our finger tips and head will eventually be chopped off (v.12).

Atheism (communism) also believes that:

It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness (Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, The Individual and Society, Moscow: Progress, 1984, P.162).

For atheists, people's understanding is secondary to the decisions of their society. In other words, society will establish an authoritarian government and the government will decide for people what to speak, wear, eat, drink and believe. We all are aware of what happened to those who spoke in opposition to the ruling authorities in communist countries. Freedom is evil in communism.

Today, the most dominant beliefs in the West are secular humanism and the New Age. These ideologies believe that everything and everybody has their own personal truth. If this is the case, then there is no need for people to worry about freedom or lack of freedom, because the terms become meaningless in a context of coexisting belief systems, where anything and everything goes if it is true for you.

We see how the humans heart, mind and conscience are degraded in all the above non-biblical belief systems, in which spiritual oppression is veiled by so-called ‘freedom’. Human beings are given freedom in these ideologies to surrender blindly to nothingness.

Imagine a time, maybe it has already arrived, when the followers of Islam, atheism, humanism and the New Age establish strong roots in a society and have more rights than the followers of the Bible. Not only will it be that freedom cannot be protected in such a society, but it will also be progressively uprooted. This is where the Western societies are now being led. The God of the Bible, who is all-knowing and rejects blind obedience, is replaced by blinding gods and blinding beliefs.

How can people have freedom if God, the author of freedom, is not allowed to live among them? How can they have freedom if they harbor and nurture authoritarian beliefs among themselves, against the God of the Bile?

For this reason we need to give place to God. We need to be the temples of His holy presence, so that His Spirit can come and reside in us, reflecting the light of His perfect law of liberty to people around the world. When He is in us, we can live and speak in the name of Freedom. It is this freedom which gives us the courage to speak out against its enemies.

Nobody can protect freedom without God. It is only through God that true freedom can be received and upheld. It is our responsibility to receive and proclaim that truth and freedom.

Pray that I may declare it fearlessly (Eph.6:20b)

2010-02-07T13:52:00.002-08:00

The sworn enemies of the Gospel do not give up. We, therefore, must expect to be bothered, confined, imprisoned, persecuted and killed. They persecuted and killed the One who revealed the glories of heaven. If they are so against the Prince of Peace, obviously they will act the same towards His followers.

What we can do in the face of all the above pressures in this world?

Every person in the world can only make one of two choices: follow the Prince of absolute Peace, Love, Truth, Justice and Holiness; or follow His sworn enemy.

We are full of excitement that we have a new identity in Christ and are able to stand for His absolute Peace, Love, Truth, Justice and Holiness and hold them as the standard of our lives, no matter how angry His enemies will be. We have solid reasons to be excited; our sins are forgiven; we are free and have the hope of glory.

On the other hand, the enemies of Christ are chained by their man-made traditions. Sadly they are not able to see their bondages. This means it is not easy to talk to them. Some of them are full of anger and are even taught to practise anger and avoid listening. The Lord has chosen and called us to deal with these very hard ones. Please hold us firm in your prayers so that we might be always able to remember our identity in Christ and declare His saving message fearlessly.

Why are you so determined to kill?

2010-02-07T13:52:00.000-08:00

Does anyone have a sound solution for a hostile person or religion? Is anyone other than Christ the solution? The biblical response is "No", and the Bible gives a reason for it.

The purpose of Christ's revelation in reaching out to the nations was first to reconcile them to God (John 3:16; 2Cor.5:18) which is called "salvation", and second to reconcile them to each other (Col.1:20) which is called "peace". We see that spiritual newness is the base for political and social peace and tolerance:

He (Christ) himself is our peace, who has made the two (Jews and Gentiles) one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility (Eph.2:14).

The unifying mission of Christ is unique and perfect and no one or religion in the world is able to unite the nations with one another and with God as Jesus does.

He said to those who were determined to kill Him:

"... you are ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word....If you were Abraham's children, then you would do the things Abraham did. As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. You are doing the things your own father does....you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him" (John 8:37,39-41,44).

“But, if you give room to my words in your heart, I will set you free from killing and hostility, and then you will become the true children of Abraham; "Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous" (1John 3:12).

For Jesus, only people who are strangers to God can be hostile toward others. His plan in coming to this world was to set people free from hatred, hostility and killing and to make them friends of one another. We can confess that we are his living examples who have been freed from hatred and hostility. The glory of freedom belongs to Him our Lord, but to no one else (Acts 4:12).

Speak out, the Threat of Islam's One-Way Freedom Is Huge

2010-02-07T13:51:00.003-08:00

Islam is undertaking multidimensional warfare against your country.

Saudi Arabia, the most active country in financing terrorism, has already started the war with your country and has endangered its national security. It has supported mosques and other organizations which are spreading Wahhabism, the state religion of Saudi Arabia. They are establishing hot-beds of terrorism, everywhere. They preach hatred, teach jihad, and encourage polygamy, as well as child marriages and forced marriages. Saudi officials do not allow you to take your holy book to Saudi Arabia if you are a non-Muslim, but Saudi Arabians have been free to build thousands of Islamic centers, schools and mosques in Europe, North America, South America, Australia, Asia and Africa in less than a decade. It is Islam that teaches them this One-Way Freedom.

Islamic One-Way Freedom is anything but freedom; it is the enemy of true freedom. It slyly enters free societies in order to destroy real freedom. Islamists abuse freedom in democratic countries in order to establish their authoritarian religion at the cost of free values. They are now paving the road for the full establishment of Islamic law in your country. Once it is established, your country will become like Saudi Arabia or Iran, where Islam is the ruler, and humanity crushed under its dictatorship.

Many giant financial institutions in western countries are expanding their regulations to cater to the financial principles of Islamic states, purely to make more money. Islamic banking principles are not only for banking: they are a weapon for financial warfare. Their goal is to establish the Islamic community’s supremacy gradually, until everything in the country falls into Islamists’ hands. Great Britain is the outstanding contemporary example of this. Leaders in this country opened the door to Islamic financing decades ago. Now Islamic courts have become part of judiciary system in England. In Great Britain, the Islamists’ money has carried with itself a religion which is establishing itself in England and is aiming at the erosion of all other religions and beliefs in this country. If English people do not wake up and speak out, it will not take long for their country to become an Islamic nation.

Please do not wait for your presidents, prime ministers and politicians. Many of them have fallen into a pit of political correctness and multiculturalism. They are paralyzed with fear and ignorance, and unable to confront the Islamic threats. They value their jobs more than their (your) country and therefore keep quiet against Islamic conspiracy. They do not recognize that their silence and indifference is a betrayal to their own nation.

If they loved their country, Islamists would not be able to disregard democratic values and impose themselves on the majority. Your politicians are ignoring the fact that all Islamic countries disregard Reciprocity, Equal Opportunity, Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech, even though they are legally accountable to the world through their signatures to the United Nations international agreements. Yet your politicians turn a blind eye when the servants of these Islamic countries spread their inhumane principles in your country and breach the rights of others. The money of the petrol lords has blinded many of these politicians to such a degree that they are unable to ancitipate the disasters which loom in the future as a result of the Islamists’ investments.

What can you do in such a situation, where many politicians are unwilling to solve or address the problem of Islam imposed on your country? If ever there was a moment for you to speak out against the Islamist vision for your nation, and stand for the democratic values that moment is now.

You need to:

1. Speak out and show that you care for the rights of your fellow citizens.
2. Stand behind those who are courageous and speak out.
3. Help your community to know the truth and act on the truth, before it is too late.

Who Can Care for the World and Maintain Order in It?

2010-02-07T13:51:00.001-08:00

Do people from diverse nations care for each other? Do they know the chapters of each others’ lives and beliefs? Have they discovered the hidden barriers among themselves in order to work out the solution and remove the barriers? If yes, to what extend? If not, why not?

Do they know where the world is heading to? Are they happy with what the world is? If not, do they have any goal for the well being of the world? What values and channel have they discovered to be the best in order to remove their unsatisfaction and lead the world to a better future? Are they interested to contribute toward the well being of the world?

Do they know whether or not their ideas and beliefs are able to avoid dictatorship and conflict amongst nations and lead them to a peaceful relationship? Do they have peace-making values in their beliefs that can create willingness in them for the enforcement of peace in the world? Do they know that misunderstanding and misinterpretations sometimes lead to hostility and bloodshed?

Do they believe in real change that leads to high achievement? Do they know that through understanding they can create and generate better ideas? Do they know that understanding enhances creativity in every level of life? Do they know that there is capacity in each person to achieve the best value and thereby make a glorious change in their lives and relationship with others? Are they willing to exert high levels of effort towards understanding and change?

Do they know the real meaning of democracy and freedom? Do they know that the freedom of one is not at the expense of others? Have they ever been able to make time and come out from their personal zones and evaluate their beliefs globally with other ideas and beliefs? Do they know whether or not they have a universal value to accept every member of human race no matter of their beliefs, races, nationalities, etc.?

One reason for peoples’ disinterest in contributing genuine efforts for the well being of others and the world is their lack of knowledge. They do not feel obligated for understanding the chapters of each others’ lives and beliefs. However, the case is different with Christians. Christians are called to understand, discover the real meaning of freedom, taste it, and thereby maintain order in the world. The Bible says;

When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order (Prov.28:2).

Choose…knowledge rather than choice gold…I have understanding and power (Prov.8:10).

Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. But now… you know God (Gal. 4:8-9).

He will punish those who do not know God…They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed (2Thes.1:9-10b).

Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (John 8:31-32).

Without understanding, we will not be able to lead nations to peace for the world and to the eternal peace. We need to take this issue more seriously than ever in this modern era of 'globalization' that has brought people from diverse nations together. EFD has committed itself to this ministry; to wake up the churches in Australia and the world to learn on how simply to address the eye opening words of Christ to the consciences of people from other nations and prepare them to have peace in their hearts and to contribute for maintaining a peaceful order in the world.

What if we compromise with Islam (2)?

2010-02-07T13:50:00.005-08:00

Why do some westerners want to compromise with Islam? What kind of future will our children have if Islam is rewarded and praised in our societies? Has any Islamic country done so well with Islam that we want to compromise with Islam in order to share in the same benefits?
Let us see what picture of Islam is given in the Qur’an:
Spiritually: Sin is inspired in man by Allah (Q.91:7-8). In other words, man has been corrupted by Allah’s own hands. Doesn’t the sin inspired by Allah affect Muslims’ spiritual, social, moral, political and economic life? It does.
Socially: Muslims are better than others (Q.3:110), and among Muslims men are superior to women (Q.4:34). Wives are asked to abide at home and not to go in public (Q.33:33). Husbands beat their wives (Q.4:34; 38:44). Non-Muslims are unclean (najis in Arabic) (Q.9:28). Those who reject Islam are dogs and evil (Q.7:175-177). Jews are called monkey, pig and donkey (Q.2:65; 5:60; 62:5) and Christians are called monkey (Q.5:60). Muslims are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind… (Q.3:110).
Politically: Muslims are called not only to avoid friendship with Christians and Jews and others (Q.5:51), but also to avoid friendship with their own fathers and brothers who are not committed to Islam (Q.9:23). Other religions and believers are fully unacceptable (Q.3:85). And Jihad is ordained for Muslims against the followers of other religions and beliefs (Q.2:216). Allah loves those who do battle for his cause (Q.61:4). So, the imposition of the Islamic Law (Shari’a Law) is the global vision of the Qur’an.
Morally: The Qur’an states that Allah has inspired sin (immorality) in humankind (Q.91:8). There are shocking and shameful statements about both Muslim and non-Muslim women in the Qur’an (i.e. Q.33 and 24:31,33). Such statements become even uglier in the Islamic traditions where they are even applied to infant girls. In addition, Islam teaches lying and deceiving as legitimate tools for the sake and progress of religion (Q.2:225; 3:28; 16:106). These verses establish that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.
Economically: The Qur’an says, “It is not for a believer, man and woman, to have any choice in their affairs, when Allah and his apostle have decreed a matter…(Q.33:36). That is why there is not a definition for work in Islam. Everything you earn belongs to Muhammad (and his representatives) and Allah. If even Muslims do not have any choice in their relationship with Muslims, what about non-Muslims who are called animals?
Committed Muslims and the Qur’an have already responded to the opening question. They will not compromise with the values of unclean West, but they are delighted if the West chooses to compromise with Islam and put itself under Islam’s yoke.
Islam is challenging not just our democratic values but additionally is forcing us to surrender to its bondage? Sadly, unwillingness to solve the problem of Islam has penetrated almost every aspect of life in the West and non-Islamic countries? Are we waiting for Muslim leaders to do something? Aren’t we aware that the Qur’an teaches Muslims to erode the life values of non-Muslims?
Do we feel responsible for the well being of our family, community and country? Do we believe our lives should reflect that there is a difference between good and evil? Do we? If yes, then let us stand against Islamic intimidation by living for Christ, attaching ourselves strongly to His holiness, justice, love and victory.

What if we compromise with Islam (1)?

2010-02-07T13:50:00.003-08:00

There are three sources of information that we can use to answer the above question:
1. Muslims,
2. The Qur’an, the holy book for Muslims, and
3. The West.
Almost all Muslims (some under the weight of cultural pressures) will respond that Islam is spiritually, socially, morally, politically, economically (in all dimensions of life) superior to and ahead of all other religions and beliefs. In asserting this view they will introduce you to a picture of Islam that is completely strange to the pages of the Qur’an.
Let us see what picture of Islam is given in the Qur’an:
Spiritually: Sin is inspired in man by Allah (Q.91:7-8), in other words, man has been corrupted by Allah’s own hands, and therefore no one, even Muhammad himself, has the assurance of salvation (Q.46:9). We all know that spiritual corruption or uncertainty is the root of all other corruptions and uncertainties in life. For this reason, uncertainty is huge in the Islamic world and has penetrated every dimension of life.
Socially: Muslims are better than others (Q.3:110), and among Muslims men are superior to women (Q.4:34). Wives are asked to abide at home and not to go in public (Q.33:33). In the April 9, 2002 issue, The Wall Street Journal published about the concept of blood money in Saudi Arabia, the heartland of Islam, referring to the inferiority of women and people from religious groups other than Islam. If a person has been killed or caused to die by another, the latter has to pay blood money or compensation, as follows;
– 100,000 riyals if the victim is a Muslim man
– 50,000 riyals if a Muslim woman
– 50,000 riyals if a Christian man
– 25,000 riyals if a Christian woman
– 6,666 riyals if a Hindu man
– 3,333 riyals if a Hindu woman
Politically: Muslims are called not only to avoid friendship with Christians and Jews and others (Q.5:51), but also to avoid friendship with their own fathers and brothers who do not follow Islam (Q.9:23). Other religions and believers are fully unacceptable (Q.3:85). And Jihad is ordained for Muslims against the followers of other religions and beliefs (Q.2:216). Allah loves those who do battle for his cause (Q.61:4). The imposition of the Islamic Law (Shari’a Law) is the global vision of the Qur’an.
Morally: The Qur’an states that Allah has inspired sin (immorality) in humankind (Q.91:8). There are shocking and shameful statements about both Muslim and non-Muslim women in the Qur’an (i.e. Q.33 and 24:31,33). Such statements become even uglier in the Islamic traditions where they are even applied to infant girls. In addition, Islam teaches lying, deceiving, etc. as legitimate tools for the sake and progress of religion.
Economically: The Qur’an says, “It is not for a believer, man and woman, to have any choice in their affairs, when Allah and his apostle have decreed a matter…(Q.33:36). That is why there is not a definition for work in Islam. Everything you earn belongs to Muhammad (and his representatives) and Allah. If even Muslims do not have any choice, including economic choices, what about non-Muslims?
Why, then, do some westerners want to compromise with Islam, if this is the case with Islam? What kind of future will our children have if Islam is rewarded and praised in our societies? Has any Islamic country done so well with Islam that we want to compromise with Islam in order to share in the same benefits?
What about us? Do we feel responsible for the well being of our family and community with a desire to have a better quality of relationship with others? Do we have any standards in our hearts that make us want to stand whole-heartedly for the best values in life? Do we believe our lives should reflect that there is a difference between good and evil?
Muslims and the Qur’an have responded to the opening question. They will not compromise with the West, but they are delighted if the West chooses to compromise with Islam. The West however is not certain about how to answer the question. They are yet to make up their mind.
Sadly, many in the West have forgotten about our Lord Jesus Christ and the spiritual disciplines upon which our freedom is based. Often Christians have been more darkness than light and have not reflected the glory of Christ to those who are in darkness.
“….. when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
By his grace alone, he will still find in some! Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord!

What a shocking proposal the Muslims in England have made?!

2010-02-07T13:50:00.001-08:00

The So-Called Moderate Muslim Leaders in England have proposed that the British Government accept that the only solution to combat the threat of terrorism in Great Britain is the “Shari’a”, the law of Islam.

After reading this, I was shocked at how manipulative the Muslim leaders in England are. They are even more destructive than the terrorists in trying for the legitimization of the “Shari’a”. In Islam, this manner of destruction is called Taqiyya, which is one of the most efficient arms of jihad, for winning the war against infidels.

These Muslims do not have even a little mercy towards Britain despite using the advantages of this nation. How do you get rid of terrorism through “Shari’a”? Is “Shari’a” a real solution to terrorism, or is it the real gate-way to terrorism? Let us closely and briefly see what these Muslims mean by proposing “Shari’a” as the solution?

1. Shari’a says: The true religion with Allah is Islam (Q.3:19). No religion other than Islam shall be accepted (Q.3:85). Christians and Jews and polytheists are the worst among creatures and they go to hell (Q.98:6). So, Shari’a means, as in all Islamic countries, that Islam must be the only dominant religion at the cost of demolishing all other religions and beliefs.
2. Shari’a says: You (Muslims) are the best folk that has been raised up unto mankind (Q.3:110). Muslims must not befriend non-Muslims (Q.4:89,144; 5:51). Christians and Jews must pay to Muslims in order to stay alive. They have to be humiliated. They belong to hell (Q.9:29-30, read the whole chapter). Pagans (or the holders of other beliefs other than Christianity and Judaism) have not choice but to die or to embrace Islam (Q.9:5). Take therefore none of them for friends, till they have fled their homes for the cause of Allah. If they turn back, then seize them, and slay them wherever you find them (Q.4:89). So, Shari’a means that the only solution for Christians and non-Muslims to overcome this humiliation is to become Muslim.
3. Shari’a says: Prepare against the infidels whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them (Q.8:59). Both the Qura’an and the Shari’a commands Muslims to prepare themselves for terrorizing (Hujum in Arabic) Christians and non-Muslims.

If you are a committed Muslim or you are able to understand what is in the heart and mind of a committed Muslim, you will be able to understand the real meaning of these Muslims’ proposal. It means that these younger Muslims want you to accept Islam as your religion; otherwise, they are not going to stop terrorism. To stop fighting against infidels is a sin in Islam.

However, if you do not understand Islam and the will of its followers, your only choice is to be deceived by these sorts of Muslims. This is the reason that England and other European countries have lost a great deal to Islam.

Why Are Committed Muslims Trying to Get Polygamy Legalized in the West?

2010-02-07T13:49:00.003-08:00

Committed Muslims in the West have declared polygamy in Islam as grounded in science and humanitarianism in order to make it more acceptable. These Muslims claim that it is both scientific and humanitarian for a man to have more than one wife when the population of women is greater than men. Do they really believe their solutions are scientific or humanitarian? No. They are saying this because they know there are so many people who simply will not trouble themselves to consider whether or not this is based on truth but will simply believe whatever may seem pleasing or enticing at the moment, thus enabling the establishment of the Islamic agenda in the West with their support. This is an opportunity that committed Muslims will not miss.

Why aren’t these Muslims willing to call it scientific or humanitarian for a woman to marry two or more men when the male population exceeds that of the female population in a society? Why won’t they allow Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men, even though Muslim men are allowed to marry non-Muslim ladies? Why do they kill Muslim girls for loving and marrying non-Muslim boys? They are oppressed or killed because Allah’s declaration regarding polygamy seeks only to please the fleshly desires of Muslim men and to eradicate all non - believers, which undermines every allusion to anything scientific or humanitarian.

The United Nations’ 2005 gender statistic (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/products/indwm/ww2005/tab1a.htm) proves that the population of men in most Islamic countries is typically greater than that of the female population. What is the scientific solution of Islam in this case? There are no scientific applications to be found here. Instead, Allah decreed war against all non-Muslim societies, calling all Muslims, as a matter of religious obligation, to brutishly invade these societies, and to slaughter all non-Muslim men who refuse to accept Islam, in order that there may be a majority of women, which would allow for every Muslim man to have up to four wives and as many slaves as he desires.

It is a fact that never once, during the first thirteen years of Muhammad’s ministry, before he came to power as a statesman and Commander of the Islamic Army, was there any decree given by Allah that Muslims should engage in polygamy. It was only in the last ten years of Muhammad’s ministry, after he became rich by looting Meccan caravans and Jews, and after war (jihad) against non-Muslims became obligatory, that polygamy was mentioned. Thousands of Jewish and pagan girls and women were taken captive for the pleasure of Muslim men. There is also evidence that even some of Muhammad’s own friends and followers were embarrassed by his hostile decrees and eventually left Muhammad and Islam. Some of these men were murdered for deserting Muhammad after the Islamic Army became sovereign over Saudi Arabia, but those who were not killed were given the opportunity to redeem their lives by returning to service in the Army of Islam.

Committed Muslims are also obtaining wives in non-Islamic countries via financial and cultural jihad. An important example of how completely effective this tactic is, can be traced back seven hundred years ago to Indonesia when Muslim merchants began targeting Indonesia, and attracting its authorities’ attention to their wealth. Muslim men were able to obtain the consent of these unwary authorities to marry Indonesian women, focusing on demographical increase and, eventually, Muslims replaced a Hindu-Buddhist Indonesia with the Islamic Indonesia we know today.

Clearly, the scientific and humanitarian solutions so loudly proclaimed by committed Muslims are not really scientific or humanitarian at all, which is why they work so persistently to keep Islam’s anti-women legacies alive: If women were given any value as humans in Islamic countries, Muslims could not hold on to their polygamist traditions. The reality is that they have closed themselves off from the Truth. In the Truth, only a man and a woman can join together in marriage and establish real love. For this reason, God created one Adam and one Eve, not many Eves for one Adam. Sadly, some in the Bible have also ignored this truth. To justify Muhammad’s polygamy, committed Muslims have started to use biblical references of polygamy. For their own purposes in discovering logic and truth, they declare the Bible to be distorted and useless, but for the justification of polygamy, the Bible seems to hold value for them.

The reality behind the committed Muslims’ motives for polygamy in the West is to increase their numbers by having many children, thereby achieving a dominant majority as speedily as possible, while imposing themselves on Westerners, as their forefathers did to other non-Muslim societies in the Middle-East. Polygamy was not commonly used by Muslims as a primary tool for domination, but the use of force and violence was used first in order to bring people under submission, making them ripe for domination through the use of polygamy. Now, it is being used in contemporary society as a form of spreading Islam in a subtle, yet effective way.

The contemporary army of Islam does not have the war power to invade western countries, and dominate them by killing their men and taking their wives. They have, therefore, chosen cultural and financial fighting approaches for which the contemporary mind of the West is ready. First, the establishment of Sharia (Islamic law) under the pretence of multiculturalism which will gradually, but inevitably, lead to total domination. The Western liberal and altruistic attitude has become a poison to its own people. A poison which will quickly spread until Islam has gathered as many supporters as it needs to accomplish its ungodly mission.
Decades ago, committed Muslims realized that a bloodless victory over passive non-Muslim societies was an investment in demographical increase and domination by numbers. The increase of the Muslim population in western countries in recent decades is proof of their success. If polygamy is legalized in western countries, success will be highly rewarding for the Islamic agenda: Within a span of 7 to 14 years, every committed Muslim man could potentially add as many as 28 children to the Islamic population in any Western nation. That is, if each of a possible four wives bears the average seven children per household, which is fairly standard for traditional Muslim families. This will not be the end of the story: When polygamy is established, committed Muslims will certainly push hard to legalize concubines, referred to as mistresses in the West, and short term marriages.

Western countries do not know the hidden agendas behind the requests of committed Muslims. There are some humanists and atheists who have sided with committed Muslims because of their own ideologies, uniting to establish a stronger anti-Christian stand in the West. Sadly, these people do not know that once Islam gains power they will no longer have the freedom to exercise their rights. Since the rise of Islam, many humanists, atheists and others have been burned and killed, as has been the case in the contemporary radical Islamic countries, including the Islamic Republic of Iran. There is no doubt when committed Muslims take over the West they will first kill their non-Muslim western supporters, who once opened their arms to them in the name of ideology or democracy. Almost all communists in Iran supported Ayatollah Khomeini against the Shah in the years prior to the 1979 Revolution, but they were either killed or imprisoned, or were forced to escape after the Revolution. Escaping did not mean that they were completely out of danger. Some who did manage to escape as far away as Europe were quickly discovered and brutally murdered by the agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

There is a trap behind every Islamic value that committed Muslims proclaim as righteous, and Westerners will be in a much safer place if they recognize the hidden agendas in Islam before it is too late. Committed Muslims can be easily compared with the Angel of Darkness: They outwardly appear to be a people of light and peace, but inwardly they are dark and hostile (“…for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14). These men who seek to dominate the West through polygamy and violent extermination have deceived westerners with their pious disguises, but Jesus Christ warned men such as these: “Woe to you…hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness. So you also appear outwardly righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” (Matthew 23:27-28).

Polygamy: Embarrassing to Middle-Easterners Too

2010-02-07T13:49:00.001-08:00

The Muslims who press for polygamy in the western countries are a source of embarrassment to millions of their own fellow Muslims throughout the world. 1400 years after the domination of Islam, not even one percent (1%) of Muslims supports polygamy. One reason for this is that since Muhammad, the best man humanity has ever known according to Islam, was unsuccessful with his multiple wives, it would be very unlikely, almost impossible, for his followers to be successful with their wives. To rescue themselves and their societies from the Islamic decree of polygamy, Muslims in the Middle-East have shown that the actions of Muhammad and his immediate successors are irrelevant to their own lives. Because of fear from Islam, Muslims do not have any choice but to justify what Muhammad and those after him did, but even the way they justify the polygamous lives of their prophet and other leaders is done in such a way as to excuse their families from polygamy. Their justification is that Muhammad and his successors were righteous men closer to Allah than they themselves are, and therefore able to treat their multiple wives equally.

Polygamy wouldn’t be practiced in the Middle-East if the religious leaders did not impose themselves on people, as they are trying to do in the western countries. Due to the influence of the western life in Middle-Eastern countries throughout the previous decades and Muslims’ strong disinterest in polygamy, almost all Islamic countries have made polygamy conditional, ignoring the expectation of Islam. One condition is that you need to get permission from your wife for the second marriage. Did Muhammad or his successors ask permission from any of their wives for their next marriage? The other one is that the age of marriage is higher than the recommendation of Muhammad. Time and time again he encouraged his followers to marry little girls in order to justify his marriage with the little girl, Aisha.

The reality is that if a Muslim man aims to have a second wife, he will receive extreme opposition from his own family members. Why? Because polygamy among Muslim leaders was the cause of political, social, moral and economic disasters in Islam’s history since the rise of Islam.

The following verses and comments of Muhammad regarding women give some insight into why he was unsuccessful in his polygamous marriage and did not leave a good legacy for Islamic societies. Once Muhammad said, “The best of you is he who is best to his wife” (Tirmidhi & Ibn Majah). As he offers no specific answer for this, allow me to provide you with some statements directly from Muhammad and his Qur’an:

Among the Believers (Muslims) are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah… (Q.33:23).
They ask thee (Muhammad) concerning women’s courses. Say: They are a hurt and a pollution: … (Q.2:222).
Women are discouraged from going outside the house (Q.33:33), but if they go, they must cover themselves in order not to be recognized (Q.33:59).
Muhammad once said to a woman: ‘Watch how you treat your husband for he is your Paradise and your Hell (Suyuti, commenting on Q.4:34)
Husbands can beat their wives (Q.4:34; 38:44)
Wives should not be saddened for anything you may give/tell them (Q.33:51)
Muhammad struck his favorite wife, Aisha, in the chest one evening when she left the house without his permission. Aisha narrates, "He struck me on the chest which caused me pain.” (Muslim :: Book 4 : Hadith 2127 )
Muhammad said: “Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler” (Bukhari: Volume 9: Book 88: Hadith 219).
If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way (Q.4:15).

But the punishment for men with the same crime is so different if they simply repent:

If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful (Q.4:16)

There are hundreds of other references which I am not able to refer to here, some of which are highly disrespectful towards women.
1400 years of bloodshed between Sunnis and Shiites started with the problems arising from Muhammad’s polygamy. As Abraham’s problem in marriage caused hatred and bloodshed between the descendents of Ishmael (Arabs) and Isaac (Jews), the polygamous marriage of Muhammad has also caused innumerous bloody wars that Sunnis and Shiites were not able to get over.
There were a number of things which Muhammad did that made his wives unhappy, one significant thing being that throughout war time, Muhammad slept with some of the female captives, even in the war zone. Sometimes, he had a wife only for a night (called temporary marriage). As a result of his wives’ discontent, Allah revealed verses to him threatening his wives with divorce if they did not keep quiet (Q.66:3-5). Even his most favorite young wife, Aisha, said to Muhammad several times that Allah was always interested in pleasing himself alone. In one case, two men found Aisha guilty of adultery, which created the chaos between the later established Sunnis and Shiites. This made Muhammad unhappy of course and he did not speak to his wife for a month. He consulted his son-in-law, Ali, who was in favour of a divorce (Bukhari :: Volume 9 :: Book 92 :: Hadith 462). On the other hand, Muhammad was under pressure from her father, Abu Bakr, who was Muhammad’s right hand man and therefore did not dare to apply the punishment for adultery on her. He was trying to find a way to release himself from his duty. He eventually received a verse from Allah that four men are needed to witness adultery (Q.24:13), not two. This made Ali unhappy and eventually created a huge chasm between the family of Ali and Abu Bakr and thereby between Shiites and Sunnis. Just immediately after the death of Muhammad, there was a bloody war between friends of Ali and of Aisha.
Shiites still call Aisha an adulterer. I have even witnessed ceremonies, in Iran, where scarecrows of Abu Bakr (Aisha’s father) and Omar (the second successor and father-in-law) are burnt to express hatred towards these top leaders. No Shiite would name his daughter Aisha. For practicing Sunnis, Shiite women and girls are categorized as slaves, as is also the case for practicing Shiites towards Sunni women and girls. This explains why Zarqavy, the master mind of Al Qaedah, issued in an internet order in Iraq that female Shiites (including wives) are the property of Sunni men and belong to them.
The above will attest to the influence of Muhammad’s polygamy within the Middle-Eastern communities. The affects of polygamy in Muhammad’s time has largely contributed to the wars among Muslims throughout the history of Islam. Coming from a polygamous family, I know from my own experience that the injustice, discrimination, jealousy and unfairness towards ladies in Islam do not match the marital values of Christianity. Westerners need to wake up and reject the lies of those Muslims who press on for polygamy in the West.

No Truth, rather Fantasy

2010-02-07T13:48:00.005-08:00

In my trips to western countries, I discovered that some Muslims spread false news that the invasion of Muslims into Spain and India were very peaceful, resulting in the liberation of those nations.

For those of us who were once committed Muslims and know the motivation behind Islam’s invasions, we can see the falsehood of this claim. Surprisingly though, there are some in the West who actually believe this, despite the contradiction of history. Obviously, one of the things that has encouraged these Muslims to be bold in their deception is the writings of some westerners who have chosen to live as dhimmis of Islam; who ignore the facts and serve Islam at the cost of their own national values. No wonder these servants of Islam are under the pressure of their Muslim associates and friends to blame Christians and Jews for every crisis among Muslims. Whatever happens among Muslims within Islamic lands is attributed to the West.

There is no doubt that these Muslims and their dhimmis are also trying to leave a false legacy for future Muslims, to create a picture of righteous deeds in the name of liberation, veiling the reality of the present bloodshed so prevalent in India and Spain today. The followers of Muhammad have learnt that if they can manage to cover the facts for a generation, the following generations are unlikely to question what is now being presented as ‘historical facts’. A present day example of such deception can be seen in Iran. Though all Iranians know that Arab Muslims came and slaughtered millions of their forefathers and took their wives, daughters and wealth for themselves, there is also a lie which has been driven ahead from the first day of invasion that says, ‘It was Iranians who called Arabs to come and liberate them.’ This lie is still in Iran and it has been kept by both committed Muslims and their non-Muslim dhimmis to mislead Iranians. The people of Iran will not be rid of this lie until they rid themselves of Islam and its driving forces.

It is the same with Spain and India. From 710 AD, Christians and Jews were persecuted, slaughtered and burned alive because of their objection to Islam. No only that, Muslims also passed discriminatory legislations in order to humiliate them according to the Qur’an. The Andalusian Maliki jurist, Ibn Abdun (AD.1134) followed the footsteps of his prophet Muhammad and decreed:

No…Jews or Christians may be allowed to wear the dress of an aristocrat, nor of a jurist, nor of a wealthy individual; on the contrary, they must be detested and avoided. It is forbidden to greet them with “Salam” (Peace be upon you). In effect, ‘Satan has gained possession of them, and caused them to forget Allah’s warning. They are the confederates of Satan’s party; Satan’s confederates will surely be the losers! (Referring to the Qur’an 58:20-21). A distinctive sign must be imposed upon them in order that they may be recognized and this will be for them a form of disgrace.

This is just one example among many. Christian and Jews in Spain suffered what others have been suffering in Egypt, Iraq and Iran, among others. Actually, the situation in Spain was even worse than Egypt, so much so that some non-Muslims escaped to Egypt because of the severity of humiliation in Spain.

The case of Islamic aggression towards Indians proves even more severe than Spain. Muslims in India were more blood thirsty than those in Spain. They did not spare any Hindu man they found until they dominated. Muslims in Spain based their philosophy of invasion on the humiliating decrees of the Qur’an 58:20-21. Any who revolted against this humiliation were killed. But Muslims’ philosophy of invasion over Hindus was based on the Qur’an 47:4, which orders the killing of all unbelievers until complete domination. Hajjaj, the Muslim Governor, orders (AD 712) his commander Muhammad Qasim:

The great God says in the Koran [47.4]: "0 True believers, when you encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads." The above command of the Great God is a great command and must be respected and followed. You should not be so fond of showing mercy, as to nullify the virtue of the act. Henceforth grant pardon to no one of the enemy and spare none of them, or else all will consider you a weak-minded man."

In just a few centuries of Muslim domination, India’s civilization and prosperity suffered. India was once one of the world’s greatest civilizations with its high quality of education and scientific discoveries. However, nomadic Islamic culture soon brought this to an end.

Why would Muslims go against these historical evidences which are recorded in their own books? It is because of their god, Allah. The Qur’an says: “Allah is the best of deceivers” (3:54; 7:99; 8:30; 10:20). It is Allah who has made them fervent deceivers. Their fervency in deception is so high that they can lie despite hundreds of killing decrees recorded in the Quran, Hadiths and Muhammad’s biography, which led to hundreds of massacres throughout the Islamic history for the establishment of Islam. These massacres are even praised in schools and mosques in the Middle-East.

We do not need to go far into history in order to be able to prove the cruelty of Islam. We have today's Islamic governments of Saudi-Arabia (the heartland of Islam), Iran, Sudan and some others with their anti-Semitic and anti-Christian laws. One example of such laws is contained in the website http://www.saudiairlines.com/services/travelguide.jsp of Saudi Arabia’s Airline asks you not to carry your Bible or Cross or David’s Star with you if you travel to this country.

Why, instead of drawing from contemporary Islamic life, are these Muslims trying to draw people’s attention to centuries ago? Because they know that the majority will not take the trouble to investigate their words in depth and test their accuracy. They also know that because of Islam, not one of the contemporary Islamic countries can tolerate freedom. For this reason, they direct peoples’ attention to the past rather than to contemporary Islamic reality. Among the present Islamic countries, which one has allowed the freedom of religion to Jews and Christians and others? Even Turkey, who has been attempting to enter the European Union, has not been able to adapt itself to the values which promote reason, progress and equality in Europe. Why? Because these qualities are Christian values that are rejected by Islam. It was just last year (2007) when three Christians were beheaded in Turkey for the sake of their faith. It is interesting that in their attempt to soften the severity of this attack, the lawyers placed blame on the martyrs, accusing them of proselytizing Muslims. The Islamic domination and discrimination in Turkey have prevented its people from seeing why and how Christianity contributed to political, social, cultural and economic progress in the West. As long as they attach themselves to Islam, they will waste their God given choice for freedom with the fantasy of life in Islam. You cannot hold Islam and freedom in one heart. Islam is against freedom.

Where is the sense in all this deception? Why the necessity to cover the truth, when faced with the opportunity to embrace the Truth? A number of reasons, really: fear, loyalty, tradition, heritage, identity, and so on. While I criticize these Muslims, in the depth of my heart I cry for their closed minds and pray that they might be able to see the light of Christ and humble themselves to Him in order to be blessings to all others rather than deceiving.

Korea: A lesson Muslims need to learn

2010-02-07T13:48:00.003-08:00

While I was a lecturer at the University of Technology in Sydney, I learned and considered many things about South Korea, one of the great economic powers of the world. I often thought that I would love to travel to this country and see it with my own eyes. By the grace of God, I was honored to finally be here in South Korea. I was amazed by the progress this country has made, especially after the war with North Korea. It has pulled itself from a very poor country into a giant industrial country with its products in all over the world. It is also environmentally clean, socially and politically democratic, spiritually humanitarian, and a God loving nation.

What is the reason for the success of South Korea? The reason this country has grown rapidly is because of its cultural and religious openness. Its friendly relationship with the Christian West, beginning with America, brought huge success to this country. Muslims need to open their eyes and learn great lessons from the South Koreans.

Muslim leaders have been saying that wherever the West has had influence, it has created nothing but exploitation and has blocked the ways of success for that society. This statement only qualifies the fact that Muslim leaders are very good at creating propaganda to keep their Quranic philosophy of Christian and Jew hatred alive amongst their contemporary Muslim followers.

There is no doubt that western colonialism carried some problems with itself to their occupied lands. However, the religions and cultures in some occupied non-Muslim lands were open to the successful values of the West and this openness led their nations to great successes. Unlike Muslim leaders, the leaders of these lands did not call their western friends or occupiers unclean, nor did they close their door to Judeo-Christian values. Rather, they opened themselves to change and, as a result, they lifted their own nations up and blessed the world with their productivity.

Many Islamic countries were also colonized, but the non-participative values of Muhammad did not allow Muslim leaders to compare their values with the values of Christianity and adopt Christian work ethics for the salvation of their nations. Muhammad’s Islam is a political religion framed in an unchangeable jihadist culture. According to Islam, Muslims and others have no choice but to become subject to the closed values of Saudi Arabia’s 7th century AD nomadic culture. The dynamism and diversity of life is rejected in Islam. If you see a little success in some Islamic countries, it is because of their little and hidden rebelliousness to Muhammad’s culture and their openness to western culture. Muhammad’s real followers kill these open Muslim rulers as soon as they discover their favor towards Judeo-Christian values.

The dynamic cultural and religious values of Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea opened the door to key success factors established in the West and they were thus able to turn their nations into very productive forces, which also proved to be a blessing to others. Muslim countries, instead, have been busily squandering away their time and energy with their problem of Jew and Christian hatred, which has caused them to fall into the category of non-productive and less developed countries. They ignore the fact that non-Islamic countries did not have Islam and had therefore freedom to learn from the West.

Islam degrades non-Muslim values and prohibits Muslims from adapting themselves or identifying in any way with non-Muslim values, especially if they could be thought of as better. The narrow mindedness, rejection and hostility of Islam will always block the ways for Muslims to learn from others, and especially from Protestant work ethics. Muhammad Mahathir, ex-Prime Minister of Malaysia, tried for many years to pull up his country and compete with Singapore and other above mentioned countries, but he was not successful because of his Jew-hatred and the bondage of his nation to Islam. He was unable to see the problem in his religion.

South Korea’s Buddhism was dynamic compared to Muhammad’s closed door Islam. South Koreans, unlike Muslim nations, used their freedom for learning from Christians’ biblical values in order to lift their country up. They learned in order to set themselves free.

We pray that, by God’s grace, Muslims will be able to see the bondage of Islam, open themselves to Judeo-Christian values and be set free through Christ.

Great Nations Fall and History Repeats Itself Again

2010-02-07T13:48:00.001-08:00

History reveals that democratic countries collapse when they open themselves to other beliefs and philosophies. In so doing, they are unable to protect their free values against such forces.
With the expansion of the Greek and Roman Empires, the West became open to all sorts of beliefs and philosophies. People migrated to Europe and brought their cultural and religious values with them. The situation in the West became similar to what it is today. Humanism was the driving philosophy among the majority and the West lost its rational power by willingly opening its doors to mysticism. This resulted in the creation of a pantheistic god in the West.
"Everybody is right" was the widespread mantra of those ancient days. Life was measured by worldly thoughts, actions and achievements and there was no difference between good and bad. The word 'bad' was used to describe Christianity, just as it is in the West now.
Today we find every belief and philosophy in many of our contemporary society and this situation existed similarly during the Dark Ages. The mix of religion and philosophy resulted in scores of cultic and Gnostic beliefs based on individual assumptions and spiritualism. Similar to the New Age movement, this wave of philosophies gave power to the individual rather than to an absolute standard.
The church at that time declined in her reasons for faith and aligned herself with the altruistic and pluralistic beliefs of society. They ignored the Biblical text "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge..." (Hos. 4:6)
The church was highly influenced by Gnosticism, the belief that positioned man spiritually equal to God. Many put their faith in man and wanted to create a world religion. Eventually, they succeeded in creating another world religion called Manicheanism. This religion was a mix of iron and clay or a mix of dictatorship and democracy. This served to shape a government whose roots were part iron and clay, as the prophet Daniel prophesied (Dan 2:41-43). Some contemporary humanists have shown similar interests in creating such a global religion.
Where did the democracy of this Dark Age take the people? The democracy of the state eventually became an instrument of power and control. How could a tolerant society eventuate in intolerance? The tolerance was not a creative tolerance. It sheltered terrorist ideologies too. The communities were initially going to live together, but they eventually perished together. So, the scene was ripe for dictatorship and therefore dictators took over. As a result, the West suffered from intolerance for centuries.
Presently, the West is trying to gird its feet with the iron of Islam and the clay of democracy. As iron and clay are incompatible, so are Islam and democracy. It's easy even for a child to understand that iron and clay don't mix. Yet, world leaders don't understand this.
Today, United Nation and nearly every government speaks well of Islam. American President Barack Obama said, "We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country (America).”
Why would the president of such a great country tell such a lie? Is America standing on its feet because of Islam or Judeo-Christian values? And, if Islam was able to contribute to the wellbeing of America, why hasn't it done the same to any of the 60 Islamic countries? Why would such a great leader praise a religion that aims at the destruction of all other cultures and religions? Because, he lacks knowledge and is committed to altruism and political correctness at the cost of his own country.
What do we need to do as Christians in the face of the above multidimensional threats?
In the Dark Ages, a faithful remnant retained Christian values with courage and sacrifice. In so doing, they've blessed this generation with Judeo-Christian values. Today we, as Christians, also need to dress ourselves with courage so that future generations will be blessed with the Truth.
We know that God is sovereign and He controls everything. But we are given a role for preparing the way for His return:
1. We need to love the lord Jesus so dearly. This love is the answer to every problem and crisis in the world. The world values worldly things more than God. For this reason, it is heading toward destruction. Our sincere love will save the life of some.
2. We need to love the world too. This love means to wake the world up to existing spiritual, social, political and moral dangers and teach people what our Savior Jesus has taught about salvation.
3. W need to teach the world a creative tolerance which is against passivity and political correctness. We believe in democracy but not in a democracy that unites with wolves and threatens future generations. Many presidents and prime ministers enjoy democracy but don't know what it is or how to protect it. We need to raise our voices and teach them.
4. We need to stand for our moral standards unashamedly and teach the present generation that moral relativism degrades mankind, just as it did in the Dark Ages.
Let us wake up and pray for the leadership of our Lord and for our sincere commitment to Him. Let us spend extra time and money for the spread of His message. Let us gather for learning and teaching. And let us take heart against passivism and political correctness in order to make the voice of Christ stronger in the world!

Freedom Verses Ignorance, Silence and Denial

2010-02-07T13:47:00.004-08:00

The word “Freedom” is a dynamic word, which encourages people to search for the best value that brings enlightenment and leads people to just, peaceful and loving relationship. For freedom injustice, extortion and dictatorship are barriers to enlightenment. A freed person does not believe that a belief or a philosophy is able to take justice and peace to victory and establish a loving relationship with imposing itself on people. Unfortunately, many so called free people in the West are missing this simple logic and therefore are confused.
The recent centuries in the West prove that how the tyrannical regimes disappeared because of the freedom fighters. They spoke out and even put their lives in danger of cruel leaders so that their contemporary communities and the future generation could have chance for life. They knew that to establish freedom you need to be born in it and then live in and for it. Even some of them were burnt by dictators in the squares of Europe. Their oppressors tried every politic in order to extinguish the flame of freedom in hearts of these warriors, but they were unable and lost the battle. Because, many people, young and old, were able to understand that freedom was better than life. If you are not free you will have a better life. The power of logic in these men and women also flattened the mountain-like slavery in the West and amazed the whole world. These warriors of freedom would become so discouraged if they knew that their descendants would one day want to belittle the sacrifices of their forefathers and surrender themselves to the enemies of freedom.
Sadly, the Islamists have started to annihilate the free values in the West, and the West is not only quiet but has also started to deny the core values of its culture because of its ignorance first, and of fear of Islamists second. How can you protect freedom if you do not know the difference between freedom and authoritarianism, the enemy of freedom? The major problem of the West is its lack of understanding the doctrine of its enemies. Those who do not know or are not interested in knowing the doctrine of their enemies, they will not be able to protect their families, lands and values.
Qur’an declares that the religion of Allah must triumph over all and the values of non-Muslims are against the faith of Allah. Islamists walk in the streets of England and proclaim “Freedom Belongs to Hell”. In America they raise their voices in the streets, breaching the democracy and saying that “Islam will bring you down and dominate soon”. Despite all these clear evidences, the West is unbelievably indifferent towards the protection of it societies. If we do not protect our societies from the spread and invasion of Islam, do we believe that Islamists will spare our civilization? Didn’t they kill millions of middle-eastern non-Muslims and burnt their books and libraries and demolished their civilizations throughout the history? Is there any freedom in any sixty or so Islamic countries now?
Mohammed believed that no one had right to speak above his words (Q.33:36; 8:12-13), do you believe that his followers would chase a western direction other than his? Do you believe that a branch cuts its own root? Islamists have learned from their history that they always rule if the society is kept in ignorance. They have also learned from the Qur’an that terrorism (Q.8:59) creates fear; fear creates ignorance and silence; and the silence leads to denial. They are certain that if the West goes like this, they will dominate.
The doctrine of Islam is profoundly foreign to the westerners. Even the leaders in the West welcome Islam to their societies more than their followers. They have lost their sight of the unique values of Judeo-Christian values. Islam, therefore, is called by them “a religion of peace”. These people are called the head and brains of the West.
How many of these leaders in the West know how Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Syria, Jordan and Palestine and others became Islamic? How many of them know that the Qur’an states that “Muslims are better than others (Q.3:110)”, and all others have to be subject to Muslims (Q.9)? Pluralism and political correctness have blinded many. The only thing they have memorized is that no one has right to criticize the hate spreading Islam and Muslims. I am amazed of how these leaders call themselves the forerunners of leadership in the universe, but keep themselves quiet to what are done to non-Muslims in Saudi Arabia, Iran and other Islamic countries. Don’t they feel embarrassed in their relationship with Saudi Arabia where the least human right is ignored? How do they clearly ignore the international and global reciprocity? How do they expect to be good in their relationship with Saudi Arabia and expect nothing back? Why don’t they want to be treated fairly by Islamic countries? Why do they want to be friend with someone who manipulates them and takes advantage of them? Does a free person keep quiet against authoritarianism and injustice? Haven’t they learned any lesson from freedom in order to be able to teach the cruel Islamic countries? This is what Islam desires; the infidels do not have rights to speak above Muslims and stand for their rights.
O God, wake the West up; remove the dark veil over the minds of leaders in the West so that they understand that they have been brought up to such positions in order to love their nations more than their positions and incomes and protect them from freedom hunters. O Heavenly Father, raise many who love to live for freedom and are ready to sacrifice for it.

Hand in Hand with the Inhumane Dictators of the Middle-East

2010-02-07T13:47:00.002-08:00

People are not allowed to practice their rights in Islamic countries. Our forefathers and generations lived in Iran for thousands of years. They thought us to be proud of our country, land and national values. The dependency on the life principles of Cyrus and Darius the Greats was so high that even the cruelest leaders in Iranian did not dare to demolish them perfectly from the lives of Iranians. Iranians kept them in their hearts and released them anytime they found a slight freedom. This is the reason that we are still able to see some of the ancient values in Iran now. Based of these values, Iran (Persia) became one of the great centre of science and education in the world, now destroyed by the Islamic Army. Iran was the most difficult country for Arabs to penetrate. Even after the invasion of the Saudi Arabian Islamic Army to Iran, Iranians’ pro-right and democratic stand made it so difficult for them to have an easy occupation over the land. It took about fifteen years for Islam’s Army to occupy Iran, and it took centuries for them to make Islam the formal religion of Iran.

Saudi Arabian occupied the south-western part of Iran and kept it in their hands with all their strength in order to use a different tactic, cultural jihad, for the other parts of the land. Their fear was that Iranians were democratic and wouldn’t accept the Islamic rule that called Iranians inferiors and animals, and degraded ladies. Their prophet, Muhammad, commented harshly against the rights of women in Iran:

When Muhammad heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler), he said, “Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler.“ (Bukhari: Volume 9: Book 88: Hadith 219).

So, Arabs knew that they needed to use their tongues as sword rather than the sword itself. This is called Taqiya in Arabic which means “Holy Deception”. It is a cultural jihad. They started to use it and rewarded the traitors hugely, who believed their lies. The last warrior of Iran was Babak Khorramdin who gave his eyes and hands to the Islamic commander rather than accepting their lies and bribes. Babak was a Zoroastrian, not a Muslim. Today, majority of even Muslim Iranians remember him with pride. And while I was writing this article I was sobbing because of his brave and loving stand for protecting freedom and his country. I know the bitter history of Islam. This is one reason among others that encourages me to waste my arms and eyes to the committed Muslims, if necessary, rather than wasting my and my children’s freedom. Sometimes, I was advised by my friends and family members (who no doubt care for me) that I had to be careful or take it easy so that committed Muslims wouldn’t cause a big problem for me. My Savior Jesus is my witness that these apparently encouraging words broke my heart and were not able to reduce my courage in the Lord for protecting freedom. It is an honor for me to live for freedom, and if that costs my life, it is still an honor for me to offer my life as a little gift for the freedom the Great Master of life, Jesus has offered to the world.

I am a citizen of the democratic world. But our leaders in the democratic world are hand-in-hand with the inhumane dictators of the Middle-East, including the leaders in Saudi Arabia the heartland of Holy Deception (Taqiya). In addition to this, our politicians have also allowed the deceptions of Islam to permeate our political, social, educational, legal and financial systems in many areas, paving the ground for the occupation of Islam. Sad to say that many politicians in the contemporary democratic societies, unlike Babak, love their hands and eyes more than their countries, nations and future generations. If this was all, it still wouldn’t bother me that much. They even love Muslims’ money and oil more than their nations. The pain is even more than this. Even Christians are complacent and quiet. Many mega evangelical Christians have chosen to stay quiet against the subtle invasion of Islam. Some even have collapsed into compromise with Islam, accepting Muhammad as a prophet of real God. Some prominent contemporary evangelical leaders give the church pulpit to the Muslim imams in order to praise Allah in the Sunday morning services. No wonder why our Lord was crying blood in the Garden of Gethsemane. Was He also saying to the Father, “My church will also betray me”?

There are millions of Iranians who have escaped from the blood thirsty rulers of Islamic Republic of Iran and live in the western countries. Only a few of us became curious and thereby started to search the reasons for the presence of democracy in the West and the lack of democracy in the Middle-East. Majority others have chosen to stay quiet and benefit only from freedom without any contribution to its protection. Alas, the westerners were not a good example to them in this. They learned that if westerners do not care for their own history and culture, if they have put money and success at the bottom line of their life only, why others should care for their country? Westerners are losing their self-confidence and thereby are losing their own loyalties too. They have no respect for their own culture. Leftist and humanists want to destroy their culture in the West, and others are also afraid to stand for it because of political correctness.

In democracy, people establish a justice system that values and protects human life, obligates individuals to respect rights, prepares them to work in the best interest of communities. People also establish a government that is able to protect their rights nationally and internationally, especially in this era of intercultural clashes. Is this what we see in the West? No. Political correctness has crippled the West to adequately freedom and rights of its citizens.

Sadly, the economic pressures and the overriding focus on wealth in the West have made the democratic life and practices so fragile and conditional today. The leading forces of democracy are not the core values of democracy anymore, but the multicultural forces, including the culture of Islam. Under the umbrella of multiculturalism, even the authoritarian leaders are able to convince the egalitarians that authoritarianism is good enough to protect freedom. Wow! We have ideologists, politicians and citizens who believe this.

The dependency of the western countries on oil has caused the western politicians to tolerate the authoritarian leadership of the Middle-East at the cost of democratic values. The evidences prove that it was the participative leadership approach in Judeo-Christian belief that brought multidimensional successes to the West and draw the attentions of the world. Every country in the world that ignored the Protestant Work Ethic created an obstacle to the progress of its own economy. Those countries that opened themselves to the western values became economic powers in the world. Even Mao the great communist was not able to lead his nation with the principles of communism but started to plagiarize western work ethic in the name of communism and therefore led China to this stage, which is a communist country apparently but an authoritarian capitalist in flavor.

So, the West has become num. While people in the dictatorship Islamic countries have started to yearn for democracy and are trying sacrificially to prove that no religion or culture must limit the scope of democracy, many westerners are rather keeping quiet, sacrificing their democratic values to the interests of dictators such as Saudi Arabians. There are thousands of Iranian activists in Iran who do not give up fighting against the dictatorship of Islam, but Gordon Brown, English PM, rather wants to make his country the hub of Islamic economy.

What will happen if we do not wake up our communities to these dangerous games? What will happen if Saudi Arabians and their running forces in the western communities such as CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood who want to occupy in the West? It is obvious from the history of Islam that with the accumulation of power Muslims will impose themselves on those who lack power. For this reason, committed Muslim immigrants see the assimilation unnecessary in the western societies and have started to establish their own ghettos (kingdoms) in the West in order to fulfill the desires of their rich Islamic masters such as Saudi Arabia. The goal of these Islamic authorities is to erase every non-Islamic thing from every land in the world. They will disappoint the non-Muslims to feel inadequate in protecting their values, favor the changes for the benefit of Islam and eventually surrender to the religious Muslims who had planned to take over. This will be the result of westerner’s tolerance to Islam.

The following are some of Islam’s tips to the world:

1. Islam does not respect the freedom of speech and other beliefs and religions.
2. Islam is not open to freedom and any criticism.
3. Muslims take delight in free countries for spreading Islam, but never allow other religions’ followers to do the same in Islamic countries.
4. They never invest for the development of a warm and wider understanding among diverse nations in order to remove the barriers to unity with others.
5. They never want to learn and have a deeper understanding of other values in order to encourage their fellow believers for the best.
6. They never encourage their people to refer to their own God given capability and search for the best possible values in the world and choose the best with a free will.
7. They ignore that the truth cannot be discovered by blindly following or obeying the guidance of someone who has never been open to comparison and has never allowed others to do it.
8. They never want to meet the criteria for truthfulness and become good examples for their own nations

Some Muslims governments have suppressed Muslim fundamentalism in their countries for a few reasons, but because they themselves do not have the above qualities, fundamentalism therefore has made its root stronger amongst the masses.

It is urgent for us not only to rescue our societies from the influence of these cruel people, but also to establish our rights in their countries if they want to continue their relationships with us according to the principles of democracy. As the western countries are not only for non-Muslims to live, practice their beliefs, build their religious building, the Islamic countries are also not for Muslims only. All non-Muslims must have equal rights with Muslims to practice their religion in Islamic countries, build their churches and temples, and spread their religions in these countries. Saudi Arabia must open its door for other religions’ evangelism since its Embassies in the non-Islamic countries have become the centers for Islamic Mission.

Why would a victorious community lock itself in the church?

2010-02-07T13:47:00.000-08:00

Jesus said, “Take heart! I have overcome the world” (Jn.16:33c). The reason He revealed Himself was to destroy the devil’s work (1Jn.3:8b), lead justice to victory and provide triumph for His Church so that the nations might hear the good news of His victory and thereby put their trust in Him (Matt.12:20-21). He overcame the prince of darkness so that His followers to look at Satan as a conquered enemy and walk in the world as conquerors (Rom.8:37) and win the hearts of people for Him.

Based on this philosophy, the Bible proclaims that:

1. Jesus is the Lord of lords, King of kings (Rev.17:14; 19:16).
2. He is the only One to save the world (Acts 4:12).

Sadly, this is not what many churches and Christian organizations in the world believe and act accordingly. Some are afraid that their supporters may cease their financial supports of them. Some others are afraid to proclaim the victory in the Name of Jesus Christ because this will be called intolerance or ignorance in a pluralistic society. Some others have even gone further and embraced the values of other beliefs and philosophies as equal to the values of Christ without realizing the fact that there cannot be many bests. The best is the only one, unique and superior among all others. If we do not believe this, we will lead our communities into ignorance, irrationalism and chaos.

For the above reasons, many churches do not want us to create awareness in their countries. So far, there have been churches who canceled our visits, and some others even tried to stop us in the middle of our talks in their churches, simply because they were afraid of the threats of some committed Muslims or humanists or communists, etc. Is this what the church is expected to do when the enemy aims to silence the followers of Christ? Is this called “Carrying the Cross of Christ?” Is this what Paul said, “For Christ’s sake I have lost everything”?

No wonder why the most Holy, Just and Loving One is presented as the ugliest one in the universities and intellectual institutions in the West. No wonder why the democratic countries have become the open doors for the most terrorizing ideologies. No wonder why the temples (and hearts) of even some Christian leaders and politicians have become the market places of smugglers of peace. Even the most superpower president of the world, George Bush, is trying to divide Jerusalem and enthrone Muhammad there. This the Muhammad who calls Jews and Christians, including George Bush, dog, pig, monkey, donkey and worst of creatures who belong to the fire of hell. These would not happen if the churches were faithful to Christ.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, by the grace of our Lord Jesus we are ready to carry His Cross in such critical moments? We love to speak and live for the glory of the One who endured the cruel Cross in order to establish the justice in the world? We love to pursue His victory rather than surrendering to the enemy of mankind. We love to live for Him and if necessary to die for Him.

We want you to know that your prayers and supports will encourage us more for standing this battle against the stronghold of evil. We praise His Name who has established us on the victorious ground and we are able to speak and live for Him.

Evolution, Random Leadership and Politicians Devoid of Political Philosophy

2010-02-07T13:46:00.000-08:00

So far, we have studied authoritarian, paternalistic and participative leadership styles. The rise of Evolutionary and New Age world views has now formed a fourth leadership style: Random Leadership.

Random leadership is missing from the pages of university books, even though it is widely practiced by many contemporary politicians in power today. The participative (democratic) leadership style is taught as the most effective and fruitful western leadership style in universities. In practice, however, it is incompatible with the arbitrary evolutionary theories of many professors. These theories favour a random philosophy of leadership which is incompatible with managed negotiations or sharing of views.

Random leadership has not yet opened a wide space in the minds of ordinary people. For this reason, politicians do not speak about it before elections. During elections, they prepare their speeches based on participative leadership values and a promising future. Once elected, they stick to their accidental leadership theory, leaving no room for the people to contribute meaningfully to the future of their country.

The American presidency has never seen such an uninformed and illogical leader as Barack Obama. His pre-election speeches were very charismatic and steeped in participative values. Such values promised change would occur from and by the people. Now, however, he chases nihilistic ideas that have take people to a dead end.

Another example, Great Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown, criticized Tony Blair for his capricious ministry. Yet, Brown is himself the most capricious leader Great Britain has even seen. His actions are random, leading the nation into an non-democratic stage.

Politicians speak about a future, but this is a formless future which they themselves do not know and trust. This is because it is hard for the children of evolutionary theory to align themselves with democratic values and live according to set standards. Furthermore, evolutionary theory has ordained for them to cunningly open up opportunities for them in democratic societies and win people’s support until they get to power, such action ultimately leading to the destruction of democracy. All the while they believe, "the end justifies the means."

The children of evolution do not need to study political philosophies. Not seeking the best, they believe instead that everything happens by accident and is therefore good. Bloodshed or communism: all is just is an accident, not according to any plan. If Islamists take over, what will be will be. After that they could also accidentally disappear or perhaps stay around.

Such politicians believe society is headed toward an unpredictable future, one in which no sovereign reality is at work. So, the evolutionary ideology has done its job. Nothingness has become the standard and the crown of the future. God is meaningless, people are the product of a material world, and all life, including politics, is random. History and the historical experiences carry no more value since they are the preliminary products of randomness, utterly irrelevant to the future.

Today, our bloodthirsty enemy is free to undermine our values due to the illogicality of many of our country's leaders. Islamists have been using their own random philosophy as a bridge of penetration into our societies for the establishment of their hostile and authoritarian Sharia philosophy that categorizes non-Muslims as worst of beasts and unclean (Q.7:175-177; 2:65; 5:60; 62:5) while Muslims the best of people, evolved for mankind (Q.3:110).

Do our leaders know anything about Islam's political philosophy? Do they care to understand this philosophy? Do they care whether or not Islam is compatible with democratic values? Not really. Because in the random, evolutionary leadership style, knowledge of good and bad does not matter. Everything must be welcomed, especially if it has more power to survive.

This is the brain of many of our contemporary politicians. They are poisonous to our society, education and our future. Yet, they have occupied the most important positions in our societies. The evolutionists have done what they had hoped to do. They rule over us! It is shocking to behold.

Is there any chance for our civilization and values to survive and be revived in the face of these political leaders? The solution is in the hand of God’s people. See what the Bible says:

If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land (2 Chr.7:14).

Committed Muslims Never Rest Until They Occupy and Destroy

2010-02-07T13:45:00.004-08:00

Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, never rested in his commitment for Islam. He invaded day and night until all nationalities and people groups in Saudi Arabia were made subject to the Islamic law. On his death bed, as he drew his final breaths, he said to his followers that two religions cannot exist in Saudi Arabia. This was in spite of the fact that the Quran says in chapter 9 that Jews and Christians can practice their religions under the rule of Islam if they pay yearly life tax to Muslims in order to be spared of Islam's sword.

Muhammad's hatred was so high that caused him to ignore his own holy scripture. He made this proclamation because there were still some Jews who were giving 50% of their produce to Muslims in exchange for their lives and practicing their religion. This hatred has remained Muhammad's legacy to his successors and followers since his death until this day. Today, when it comes to non-Muslims, committed Muslims follow in the footsteps of Muhammad and break their vows and treaties with or concerning non-Muslims. Muslims will even pretend to deny their beliefs, if conditions necessitate, in order to infiltrate the lives of non-Muslims. This strategy serves to establish roots in the areas they have designated for future occupation or destruction.

Muslims are also obliged to use all of their wealth for the destruction of others. Imagine this, that at the present time, in a few Islamic countries where poverty is a serious problem, some Muslim leaders have willingly committed millions of dollars as a bounty for the heads of those who aim to open the eyes of Muslims to the deceptions of Islam. Recently, an Egyptian Orthodox priest, Zakaria Boutros, had 60 million dollars put on his head by extremist Muslims in Iran and Saudi Arabia, simply because he was challenging Muslims to compare their Quran with the Bible. With such large sums of money, Muslims could instead build houses for many of their fellow Muslims who are poor. They could also provide working opportunities for them.

But this is not the heart of Islam. Islam does not care about the well being of its followers since its overriding focus is to destroy those who speak above the words of the Quran and Muhammad.
There are 146 references to Hell in the Qur’an: 94% of these references are for those who criticize Muhammad or do not follow him. Only 6% of passages say that hell is reserved for punishing immorality or lawlessness. In other words, almost the whole mission of Islam is to silence critics. The Quran says:

It is not for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and his apostle to have any option about their decision: If any one disobeys Allah and his apostle, he is indeed on a clearly wrong path (Q.33:36).

Those who resist Allah and His Apostle will be among those most humiliated. Allah has decreed: "It is I and My apostles who must prevail": For Allah is One full of strength, able to enforce His Will (Q.58:20-21).

Allah has sent his apostle with a religion of the truth, that he may make it victorious over every other religion (Q.9:33).

So what matters for the committed Muslims is not to care first for their fellow hungry Muslims, or to fight poverty, but to deploy soldiers for Islam to invade others' rights, demolish their values and impose Islam on all people. The predominant goal of Islam has united committed Muslims globally for destruction.

It is so sad that many of these committed Muslims have achieved great successes in democratic countries. We have seen personally, and have also heard and read from various sources that many committed Muslims have been able, as a result of their wealth and success, to penetrate powerful organizations in the West. They have used their position for the advancement of Islam, and in some cases for the support of terrorist organizations. Though some of these have been caught and put in prison, the threat of imprisonment can not stop their associates and followers from continuing to plan and execute evil activities. We are witnesses that the numbers of dangerous Muslims are increasing year after year, and if they are ready to die for Islam, the threat of imprisonment will not be sufficient to frighten them or deter them in their dangerous ambitions.

The great contributions and rewards of their Middle-Eastern oil masters has also opened doors which were otherwise impassible to them, and by this means they are able to do everything that is necessary to advance Islam. This is a worthy reminder that the indifference of many Western leaders and communities towards committed Muslims has also increased the scope of their activities. As a result of indifference, this apparent minority of committed Muslims have been able to silence their critics in some Western countries by preventing their eyes from alighting on books in bookstores or universities. Some have even won the interests of politicians and are working diligently to have Western laws changed to favor Islam, so as to put an end to all criticism about Islam. These committed Muslim have put their minds and hearts to work in a way which is moving Islam very quickly toward its goal of establishing itself and its laws in the West. Westerners should know now that Islam will not tolerate criticism of any sort and will deal harshly, even violently, with all of its critics, even in the West where a false sense of security prevails.

Committed Muslims are impatient for the passing of laws that will suppress all talk about the realities of Islam. From time to time, I hear from my host churches or newspaper editors that imams of the local mosques have called them in order to convince them to cancel my meetings. The imams have accused them of promoting hatred toward Muslims by giving their pulpits to me or writing about my transformed life.

In some cases, these committed Muslims have attended the meetings in order to disturb me or intimidate me. They blame Christians for promoting hatred but our Gospel says, Hate is evil (Rom.12:9); Bless those who persecute you, bless do not curse (v.14). Their own Quran is full of hating and killing verses, yet they blame Christians who believe that hate is sin. Why do they blame Christians for hatred if our Master, Jesus, has condemned hatred as sin? They are doing this for the sake of confusing people and also to create chaos and fear. Their mission is to deceive (called Pious Deception – taqiya – in Islam) and to confuse, terrify, occupy and destroy.

We should not be afraid. If we are afraid, then those who choose fear as their weapon will succeed. We have to be afraid of God only, who is the one to whom we are accountable. We need to expose Islam courageously and open the eyes of people to the threats of Islam. Our God loved the nations and gave a great price for their freedom and salvation. We, as His followers, also need to pay the price for freedom and overcome fear.

Are the Custodians of Freedom Abandoning Their Posts?

2010-02-07T13:45:00.002-08:00

“May Allah bless Hitler!” is now the mantra for the committed Muslims living in European countries. This is not an attitude that is just now quietly making its way to the surface of mainstream Euro-culture: it is shouted in the streets. The democratic greatness of Europe, and I daresay America, is about to pass away and Satan is everywhere, blinding people with ignorance and corruption, and eagerly preparing the way for the rise of another type of Adolph Hitler, except this time it will be Islamic forces oppressing the masses. Anti-Semitism is only the beginning of the perfect ungodliness that we will see in the near future, and it will not remain within the confines of Europe but will spread rapidly to the U.S. and others. As godless men continue to peddle their man-centered philosophies instead of tending to their souls, societies are spiraling aimlessly into chaotic oblivion. The time is ripe for Islam to take over the West.

Islamic extremists are now freely carrying their banners through the streets of Europe. They read “Freedom, Go to Hell” or “Jews Wait, the Gas Chambers are coming.” Because godless men have convinced themselves that there is no distinction between right and wrong, that these concepts are subjective based on whatever reality an individual chooses to abide in, those who do seek righteousness will find themselves in dire straits if they are merely following a moral code instead of following hard after the Righteous and Holy God (not Allah!). The stage is set for Islam to dominate through the use of Taqiya, or Holy Deception, used since the beginnings of Islam specifically for the purpose of deceiving entire nations into believing that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance or has the solution for everything. However, it seems as though European leaders, the guardians of their nations' freedoms and human rights, have chosen to ignore the reality of the cultural terrorism that is taking place right before their eyes and are even welcoming Islam with open arms: Taqiya is at work while Europe sleeps.

Poor economic policies are also enslaving the West to the petrol lords, who also happen to be Muslim extremists. The West, without even realizing it, is gradually handing over its freedom to those who are ready and able to destroy it. The West still enjoys the freedom to follow Judeo-Christian values without persecution but the days are coming quickly when we may have to hide to worship, or die, as is the case in many more places than we realize. I suspect, too, that Europe will cave-in very quickly to pressure from Muslim leaders to suppress Christian rights. It’s happening now! We must not cease in our prayers.

The followers of the Ayatollah Khomeini were no more than 2% of all of the secular Iran’s citizens, but they were able to destroy the Kingdom of the Shah, the most powerful government in the Middle-East, because the tools of deception were strong in the hands of that 2%. The power of this political deception, Taqiya, is astonishing. It seems to take on a life of its own, swallowing up everything in its path: even Jimmy Carter, the president of the most powerful nation on Earth, wound up as a dhimmi, or a second class human fellow, to the Ayatollah Khomeini, thinking that if he supported Islam he would strengthen Islam against the spread of Communism. But the followers of Russian Communism united with the Ayatollah Khomeini anyway, even though Communism is anti-religion: they knew that if they stirred up the Ayatollah against the U.S., they would have a perfect weapon against both America and Christianity. To the complete shock, embarrassment and shame of then President Jimmy Carter, the Ayatollah Khomeini, with the help of Russian Communist supporters, captured the U.S. Embassy in Tehran very shortly after his U.S.-aided victory in Iran. Leftists know that even a tyrant like Joseph Stalin was not able to destroy Christianity, but fundamentalist Muslims were able to destroy it and take control in Egypt, Iraq, Syria and other Middle Eastern countries.

Westerners are unable to grasp the reality of what is happening in Europe now. They do not understand the seriousness of the threat of Islam to all non Muslims. Many Jews have been able to understand it clearly but their voices are being ignored. Also, because Islam’s hatred seems to be focused primarily on Christians and Jews, non-religious individuals think that Islam’s gas chambers will stop working when all the Christians and Jews have been exterminated. Not so! Not if there are still any living, breathing unclean non-Muslims left to contaminate the world. Even though it seems that many Jews are now fleeing openly anti-Semitic Europe, committed Muslims are still shouting for the establishment of gas chambers in the West, because Islam’s hostility is not only against Zion. Europeans think that Islamic Fundamentalists will be friendly and peaceful once all the Jews are dead, but they do not know that the destruction of Israel is merely an prologue to the destruction of the West. Unfortunately, many ignorant church leaders have also opened the door for Muslim leaders through interfaith dialogue, and by handing over the pulpit of their churches to them. Yet these Muslim leaders are not interested in interfaith dialogue: their goal is the death of Christianity (Praise God that this is not a realistic goal!) and the establishment of Islam.

Though many Westerners call themselves Christians, their reality is founded on principles of Materialism, Humanism, New Age philosophies and a form of Altruism that has little, if anything, to do with serving anything but their egocentrism. Activism in its various forms has also become a god to men, and we see how these idolaters speak in favor of democracy, but they have become terrorists of sorts, inciting violence and persecution as they poison society by calling Christians “racists” or “extremists”. Terrorist ideologies will inevitably lead to physical acts of terrorism. Some of my Christian friends have received terrifying threats from evolutionists, environmentalists and Greens, and recently, animal rights activists attempted to burn the home and business of a Dutch Christian while he and his family were sleeping, but praise God that He miraculously intervened to save the family and the business from fire. It is these Christ-haters (many who even dare call themselves Christians) who are ripe to seek an alliance with Islam but, in fact, they will inevitably find that they themselves have become Islam’s prey.

England has also opened its doors wide to committed Muslims and now has more problems with Islamic Extremist issues than other Western countries. Even the Prime Minister of England, Gordon Brown, is now acting like a second class citizen (a “dhimmi”) of Islam, sacrificing his freedom to a very small Islamic minority because of his perceived need for their votes and for the money of the petrol lords. Ironically, England was once a ruling force in Saudi Arabia, but Shari’a courts are quickly becoming the ruling establishment in England due to the pressure of the minority of committed Muslims who do not account for more than a few percent of it citizens! Shari’a courts now are officially part of the English legal system and are fighting to establish a full Islamic judiciary system where every non-Muslim will suddenly come under pressure to convert to Islam; to refuse conversion is to submit to humiliation or death (Q9:5, 28-30).The Prime Minister of England has been fooled by the Muslim minority: the British people trusted a man and made him the protector of their country but he unwittingly became their worst enemy, forfeiting the democratic values of their society to the cruel authoritarianism of Islam.

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against His Anointed One. “Let us break their chains,” they say, “and throw off their fetters.” The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. Then He rebukes them in His anger and terrifies them in His wrath, saying, “I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.” I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.” Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for His wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him. (Psalm 2 NIV)

Islam Forbids Reasoning and the Freedom of Choice

2010-02-07T13:45:00.000-08:00

The verses of the Quran and the life of Muhammad give prominence to the fact that Islam is against civilization in the context of human development and enlightenment, and is fully intolerant of any rational thinking and reasoning, especially that which draws individuals away from Islam:

Allah and his prophet cannot ever be questioned for his acts, but people will not only be questioned for theirs thoughts, words and actions, punishment is brutal and immediate (Q.21.23).
It is not for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and his apostle, to choose another option: If anyone disobeys Allah and his apostle, he is indeed on the wrong path, and the consequences are dreadful, painful, and imminent (Q.33:36).
Allah will cast a dread into the hearts of the infidels. He will strike off their finger-tips and heads. This, because they have opposed Allah and his apostle … (Q.8:12-13).

Muhammad suppressed individuality and forbade people to make moral decisions based on their own choices and consciences. In Islam, people do not have the right to use their God-given freedom and conscience to evaluate and choose their desired beliefs, or to plan for their own physical and spiritual life. Compare the above Quranic verses with what the Gospel of Christ speaks:

…by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God (2Cor.4:2).

Muhammad called his religion the most perfect religion in the world and himself the “Seal of Messengers” who came to perfect the imperfect works of Christ and others. Is he right? Does his teaching really lead people to perfection and freedom? Did he want his followers to use their brains, hearts and consciences in order to understand perfection and freedom in the context of the world and in comparison with other beliefs and values? Did he respect the rights of his followers and others? Did he commend his Quran to people’s consciences rather than imposing it on them?

To respond to these questions, we have no choice but to use Muhammad's own life stories, his own comments on various issues of life as examples and rely on the verses of his Quran. As Jesus said, "By their fruits you will recognize them" (Matt.7:16). Muhammad must also be known by his own fruits. His words and deeds, and the teaching of his Quran prove that no one has the right to speak above his words. Whatever he and his Islam dictate, all others must obey no matter how much better the lifestyles and values of others might be. For this reason, the history of Islam, Muhammad’s legacy, is nothing but fighting against non-Muslims and the degrading of their cultural values and worldviews. Wherever Islam has gone, it has replaced the freedom of choice in relationships and responsibilities with violent authoritarianism and the cruel non-negotiable decrees of Muhammad. For example, Muhammad, although human, has declared for himself more rights than his followers, and if anyone stands to criticize him, they must be killed. In the same way, Muslims have more rights than non-Muslims; Muslim men have more rights than Muslim women, and so on. With all of these discriminating codes, Muhammad still exalted himself, claimed that his religion was a shelter for humanity, and stated that his followers are better than others.

Can Muhammad be called tolerant since he not only rejected individual’s rights to make decisions, he also forced them to choose Islam through the use of fear and violence? Clearly, for any rational mind, the answer is obvious. Islam's past history and the current restrictions in all Islamic countries concerning non-Islamic practices prove that Islam is against the civilization, or enlightenment, of man. Can a Hindu or a Buddhist or a Christian practice his religion freely and fully in any Islamic country? Certainly not, because their prophet Muhammad said, "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle " (Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24). Is there any Islamic country, either secular or radical, that allows the evangelism of other religions? Of course not. Why is Saudi Arabia free to build mosques in Western countries but Westerners are not allowed to build their churches or temples in Saudi Arabia? Because Islam is an oppressive religion and its prophet is a dictator: In a dictatorship, only the dictator is free to do whatever he likes. That is why, no matter how tolerant others may be toward Islam and Muslims, Islam still aims to utterly destroy them simply because they are not Muslims. You will not survive under the rule of Islam unless you decide to align yourself with the instruction of Muhammad and Allah. You will lose your head if your decisions conflict with the teachings of Muhammad.

As a former Muslim, having been wonderfully and graciously saved by Jesus Christ, it makes my heart exceedingly heavy to report that more than a billion Muslims around the world are bound to the dictatorship of Islam and will never be allowed to make a different choice. People are born under the dictatorship of Islam and are trained to keep quiet, never raising any questions about Islam for the sake of Islam.

We need to help Muslims listen to the voices of their consciences in order to set them free from the chains of Islam. Muslims need to understand that the Living God takes delight in both men and women who make moral choices based on decisions that proceed from a love for God. We also need to help non-Islamic countries understand the hostility of Islam towards freedom of choice and basic human rights.

Please continue with me in prayer for the souls of Muslims.

What have we done to them that they hate us?

2010-02-07T13:44:00.000-08:00

Our audiences always ask us, “What have we done to Muslims that their leaders hate us so much?” They wonder what they and the West have done that Muslim leaders in the world hate the West. Is it because of colonialism, petrol exploitation, or slavery that Muslims hate the West? They love to ask this and to hear answers that address this problem.

To our audience’s surprise, our answers were different from what they expected to hear. We took them to the history; back to the rise of Islam as the state religion in Saudi Arabia.

Christians (or Jews or Hindus or Zoroastrians) of the seventh century AD did not do any particular wrong to Arabs whereby Muhammad and his successors could label them as unclean, animals or worst of beasts who deserved to die and go to hell unless they became Muslim. Every attitude of Muhammad and his successors was based on the call of the political religion of Islam, which forces others to join the army of Islam. The motivation was fully a politico-religious one, not social or moral. If it was social or moral, why then would Muslims forgive non-Muslims if they joined Islam? Even the Qur’an proves that it is not anything other than a religious reason. Only 5% of the references for hell in the Qur’an are for moral failure, but the remaining 95% are for those who do not follow Islam. The second reason that it couldn’t be any other reason but politico-religious is because Islam, in every aspect of life, is harsher than other beliefs in the world. Look at the following verses of the Qur’an:

(Muhammad) Do not treat your wives alike, no matter how eager you may be to do so (Q.4:129)
Wives should not be saddened for anything you may give/tell them (Q.33:51)
…as to those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them, refuse to share their beds, beat them… (Q.4:34)
The party of Allah (In Arabic: Hezballah) … shall be triumphant(Q.5:56).
Prepare against the infidels (Christians and Jews) whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them (Q.8:59).
I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them (Q.8:12)
Muhammad is the apostle of Allah; and those who are with him are strict with Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other (Q.48:29)
Of a truth ye are stronger (than they) because of the terror in their hearts, (sent) by Allah. This is because they are men devoid of understanding (Q.59:13)
So fight them (non-Muslims) until there is no more disbelief (in the whole world) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (Q.8:39).

Why then would a wise Muslim push non-Muslims to follow Islam if non-Muslims are more loving and less authoritarian to their family members and others than Muslims?

For Islam, it does not matter how loving or harsh you are in your attitudes to others; if you do not follow Islam, you are guilty and have to be humiliated or killed (Q.9:5, 29).

Christian nations have always been in the forefront in helping the poor Islamic countries. Do Allah and Muhammad appreciate this? If you give your whole wealth to Islam but not your heart, you are still not in a right relationship with Islam and you, therefore, have to be frightened, terrorized and killed.

So, it is not what you have done to Muslims, it is that you are not yet Muslim, and for this reason you are hated.

The West has not seen the worst of Jihad yet (2)

2010-02-07T13:42:00.003-08:00

Our lives begin to end when we become silent about the things that matter
(Martin Luther King)

In the first part, I commented on those people who refuse to learn from the history and therefore put themselves in a position which is not pleasant at all.

Let me to continue it with the conscience awakening philosophy of the Bible which believes that the lack of knowledge is the greatest destroyer of life (Hos.4:6). Not only the lack of knowledge destroys spiritually, but also socially, politically and morally, etc. Indeed, if a person is not built by knowledge on a firm foundation spiritually, the other areas of his life too will be unstable. For example; it will be impossible for a person to have a long lasting peaceful relationship with others without having peace in his own heart and life.

God has created man in a way that without discovering the best relational value, he would perish. Lack of knowledge is the gate way for evil to enter and occupy. This is the direction the West has chosen, unfortunately. It says, “All cultures are good”, and therefore there is no need for the best, and thereby for integration. This opens and has opened the door for those groups who want to assert their authorities and drive the others out of their territories. As a result of this, some Muslim leaders in the West reject integration and demand segregated schools and self-governing, ghettos ruled by Shari’a (the Law of Islam). Some Western authorities have already opened the door for such an authoritarian belief since they quietly abandoned the suburbs to the immigrants from decades ago. The violence in France is a result of this. French government has even failed in the basic task of government, securing the safety of its citizen’s life and work.
What has caused the West to allow tolerance for such a violence and hatred that are undermining the freedom of the majority? Why has the West forgotten its heroes who put their lives for freedom from decades and centuries ago? What has caused the West to betray it heroes? Why Islam, which is under obligation to slaughter and gain power over other nations, has more space in the West than any other religious groups?
When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order (Prov.28:2).
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of the world rather than on Christ (Col.2:8).

The West has not seen the worst of Jihad yet (Part 1)

2010-02-07T13:42:00.001-08:00

I wish that the World’s leading technical geniuses could invent a device able to discover, distinguish and record the heart melting cries of millions of Iranians (and the people of other countries) that are still ‘echoing in space’ since they came face to face with the Muslims for the first time 1400 years ago.

The Muslim raiders first burnt the libraries so people would ignore and forget their history and cultural values. They killed millions of Iranians and forced them to not even mourn for their lost, but rather to cry for the Jihadists who were killed for the cause of Islam. Nowadays, Iranians never commemorate the past of their country and those who sacrificed their lives to defend the rights of their nation. But every year, for thirteen days, they commemorate through mourning, weeping and self-torture the Jihadist grandchildren of Muhammad who died for the cause of Islam. Furthermore, even today if a person dares to mention the terrible price the Iranians paid at the hands of the Islamists, he or she would immediately be called an infidel and face a terrible death. If the one who criticizes is a virgin girl, she will be raped the night before her death (according to Shari’a a virgin must not be killed as a virgin). On the following day after her death, her killer, as part of his religious obligation, with the blessing of his Jihadist leader, must go to her family’s house and call her mother and say to her:

"I took your daughter’s virginity before sh"e was killed; here, take this, this is her dress, and this little amount of money is also for you as an exchange for having sex with your daughter."

Iranian Islamists still practice this and it breaks the hearts of many mothers, though many of these mothers are Muslims themselves. When Islam takes over a society, ‘discrimination’ becomes the master of almost everyone’s life in that society. If a member of a family stands up against an Islamic leader, all other members of the family also have to pay the price for this rebellion - unless they stand against their own family member and hand over him/her to the authorities.

Imagine if one day this were to happen to Christians and non-Muslims in their own countries. Imagine a day when the US and the UK no longer commemorate those innocents who lost their lives in the ‘Twin Towers’ blasts or the recent London bombings, but rather commemorate the death of the suicide bombers.

As I look back at my own country’s history, I see how this has happened in Iran. My hope is that some people hearing this will pay attention to what I am saying for the sake of their children and the safe future of their families and countries. But, how painful it is for me in the West, when you feel that not many people want to believe you. Not only this, sometimes some people will even stand against you or charge you with vilifying Islam and Islamists, as happened with the two other Daniels in the State of Victoria in Australia.

Those who have made themselves the centre of their own lives in the West and who do not have any sense of the source of their civilization, do not know how to appreciate their freedom. In other words, they do not care about the sacrifices that have already been paid for their rights to be protected. How could you then expect them to listen to your call and be aware of the similar dangers awaiting them in the future? The saying is true: "those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it" (Santayana).

Why is Islam growing in many non-Islamic countries?

2010-02-02T17:36:00.000-08:00

Islam is growing in many non-Islamic countries despite its use of intimidation towards Christians and Jews, and against democracy. Why?

Why are mosques, Islamic schools and colleges springing up in every corner of non-Islamic countries, indoctrinating thousands of young people, when it is illegal for non-Muslims to build their sanctuaries and schools in Islamic countries?

What drives some Muslims in western countries to try to stop criticism of Islam, while they themselves practice their Islamic hate speech, and promote death threats and honor killings in these same democratic countries?

Why do Muslims dare to ask for the establishment of their own Islamic judiciary systems, ignoring the egalitarian values in the democratic countries?

Why is Muhammad’s philosophy of the sword spreading in the majority of Christian countries, whereas Jesus’ anti-sword teachings are forbidden in Islamic countries? What is giving freedom to Muslims who attempt to erode freedom of speech and the social fabric of western societies?

Why do Western nations now have their own home-grown Muslim terrorists who have been carrying out terror operations in the West and abroad in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kenya, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Israel, Morocco and Russia?

Despite all the obvious Islamic intimidation against Jews and Christians, why would many non-Muslims, including some so-called evangelical Christians, believe the Islamic lie that the root of all problems in the Middle-East is the Jews?

Why, when Western Governments moved to liberate Afghanis, Kosovo Albanians, Palestinians and Iraqis, were they betrayed by so-called Muslim friends who went on to advance the cause of the jihadists?

Why are leaders in non-Islamic countries turning a blind eye to Islamic conspiracy? Why is there silence within political, media and various other circles in non-Islamic societies? Why are free people prepared to surrender without a fight to those who would place them in bondage?

Why are these things taking place in non-Islamic countries? Is it because of ignorance of Islam’s intimidation, or surrender to Islam for the sake of political correctness, or personal interests? Whichever may be the case, the truth is being sacrificed, leading nations and countries into enslavement.

How do we respond when an enemy not only challenges our democratic values, but also forces us to surrender to his bondage? What must we do, since unwillingness to solve the problem of Islam has penetrated almost every aspect of life in the west and non-Islamic countries? Are we waiting for Muslim leaders to do something? Aren’t we aware that the Qur’an teaches Muslims to have contempt for and erode the values of non-Muslims?

To stand against Islamic intimidation, we need to put our victory in Christ into practice. We are called to have courage in the absolute victory and love of Christ in order to overcome the threats to freedom (Jn.16:33). We need to remember that we belong to the One who is the King of kings and the Lord of lords (Rev.19:16), and to stand in Him. Therefore, we have been given the power to speak the Truth of Christ and reveal God’s purpose for deliverance against the stronghold of Satan.

“If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance for (your nation) the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. What's more, who can say but that you have been elevated to the palace for just such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14; read Isa.62:1; Am.5:13)

Unfruitful Tolerance!

2010-02-02T12:26:00.000-08:00

How might people respond to the following questions?

Do you tolerate a person who breaches the rights of others?
Do you tolerate a religion or philosophy that aims at the destruction of the followers of other beliefs or philosophies?

There is no doubt that many people in democratic countries will be able to freely and politely respond “No” to the above questions. This is because, in general, the mind is against any discrimination or invasion of the rights of others. Everybody is taught to be in favor of individual rights, but not everybody is made aware that his/her rights are being threatened or taken away.

In recent years, New Age and Secular Humanist philosophies have dominated popular thinking and have, in effect, opened the door of democracy to every belief, culture and action. These philosophies espouse that democracy accept everything. In turn, the seeds are sown to provide war within democracy itself. This results in the creation of new random rules and regulations that are in sync with the so- called “evolutionary world.”

Not only have these forces dominated many schools and universities, they have pressured the western political leadership to issue new laws - apparently in the name of respect and tolerance for every belief, but in reality fueling passivity. The result is that people are no longer able to live meaningfully and freely. Ironically, in an age where ‘anything goes’, people are not taught how or why to value their rights.

It is shocking how influential these forces have been in directing the masses in their way of life. They have spread political correctness everywhere in the West, undermining our freedoms. Yet at the same time, non-evolutionary leaders, politicians and journalists are keeping quiet against a movement which is leading our societies towards totalitarianism. Some of our trusted politicians have left us speechless by their inaction.

Political correctness is a deception which first neutralizes people and then gradually leads them to enslavement. It is a channel to totalitarianism that twists truth in favor of dictatorship and destroys the culture of courage and respect. It is the true enemy of democracy.

The deception of political correctness has, unfortunately, crippled the West and many people are not able to realize that freedom cannot tolerate every belief and action. Islamists believe that they have to kill the followers of all other beliefs unless they join Islam. How can freedom tolerate such a hostile and totalitarian belief? How can the children of freedom allow such repression to come and live among their children? Not only are they living among us, but they have also been busy terrorizing our freedom in every aspect. Our freedom fighters are taken to courts, and sacked from universities and work places, all because of the cultural, political, economic, social and moral jihads. This is being pursued under the dark cover of political correctness and multiculturalism.

This generation calls itself the children of enlightenment; but they tolerate darkness!

What partnership does light have with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14).

If we … walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. (1 John 1:6)

May the light of Christ shine over this generation so that they will realize that they should not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather rebuke them (Ephesians 5:11).

The Prayer of Peace in Islam!

2010-01-30T23:03:00.001-08:00

On September 25, 09, Muslims gathered in front of the Capitol Building in Washington DC to pray for peace. This is what they said in their website prior to their prayer, “The peace, beauty and solidarity of Islam will shine through America’s capitol” (http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com/).

Peace with whom?

We will be able to respond to this question if we pay attention to the message of their prayer. This prayer is the creed of Allah and Muhammad and is obligatory for Muslims to recite five times a day. In each prayer, Muslims have to repeat the first chapter (Sura) of the Quran, Al-Fatiha, twice and all together ten times a day. The prophet of Islam, Muhammad, called this chapter the magnificent and greatest of all chapters (Bukhari; V6, B60&61, H226&528). He also said, "Whoever does not recite Al-Fatiha in his prayer, his prayer is invalid" (Bukhari: V1, B12, H723). This chapter contains seven verses. Verses 5, 6 and 7 say:

You (Allah) we (Muslims) worship, and you we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Path. The Path of those (Muslims) you have blessed, not the path of those (Jews) you have cursed nor of those (Christians) who are in darkness.

All Islamic texts prove that these verses ask Muslims not to have peace with Jews and Christians.

If they cannot have peace with Jews and Christians, who else then remains in America, with whom can they have peace? What about the followers of the New Age, Humanism, Atheism and paganism who believe that everything, including Islam, is right and that they can have peace with Muslims and Muslims with them?

Evidences in the Quran, the judiciary and the history of Islam prove that these people groups have only two choices when it comes to Islam: to die or join Islam. There is an alternative for Jews and Christians to pay to Muslim rulers yearly and thus be spared from death, though humiliated as a result according to the Quran, but all other people groups do not have such a choice.

Who then is this peace intended for? Muslims. This is what it means when they pray for peace: it is a signal to the Muslim world and to the Muslims in America that they have reached the capital city of America triumphantly and will continue their mission until the final domination takes place. The fourteen hundred years of invasion, slaughter and domination of Islam were always accompanied with this prayer of peace! Millions of Jews, Christians, Hindus, Assyrians, and Africans lost their lives to Muslims who were reciting this so-called peaceful prayer five times a day. The praying jihadists of Allah held the Quran in their left hand and the sword in their right hand, and then asked these people “Which one do you like, the Quran or the Sword?” Many, of course, chose the Quran and were pushed to learn and recite this prayer daily. Those who rejected their invitations were beheaded on the spot and their wives and children were taken as slaves.

Christians are forbidden to approach Muslims with the loving, peaceful and respectful message of the Gospel of Christ in Islamic countries, but Muslims are free to curse Christians in Christians’ homelands. What a contrast! The Saudi Airline website forbids passengers to carry their Bibles with them if they want to go to Saudi Arabia. This is the Bible which says, “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you” (Matt.5:44 NKJV). “Do not curse” (Rom.12:14). Contrastingly, Muslims can carry their hate teaching Quran to non-Islamic countries, establish their evangelistic centres and even curse non-Muslims in their prayers.

We should not blame these Islamists only. The blame also goes to President Obama and those Americans who called Islam the religion of peace and in this way paved and continue to pave the ground for the Islamist mission. This is actually a silent jihad (war) where Muslims influence politicians in order to reach their goals swiftly. They cleverly use non-Muslims for the destruction of their communities and, in turn, for the establishment of Islam. Through the initial building of trust, they are able to gain a strong foothold whereby they gradually place pressure on non-Muslims, be it political or financial or other, eventually coercing them to speak in favor of Islam and against their own people and cultural values. The best way for Islam to deepen its roots within a society is when it is favored by the heads of that society. This is what Islamists have achieved in non-Islamic countries, including America.

In response to Obama’s praise-filled speeches about Islam, Islamists now dare to pronounce their daily curses as prayers of ‘peace’ to Americans and thereby deceive millions. The door is open for them to do so, because the top leader of the country believes that Islam is a peaceful religion. No doubt that in the future they will frame and hang Obama’s words as confirmation of the greatness of Islam and the insufficiency of Christianity everywhere. In the future, they may even be able to convince Obama to accept the following verse of the Quran as heavenly and true:

On the Day when some faces will be white, and some faces will be black: To those whose faces will be black, (will be said): “Did you reject Faith after accepting it? Taste then the penalty for rejecting Faith.” But those whose faces will be white,- they will be in (the light of) Allah’s mercy: therein to dwell (for ever) (Q.3:106-107).

It says that the faces of those who enter hell will turn black, but the faces of those who enter heaven will be white. This is also what the so-called religion of peace, Islam, teaches and asks its followers to believe that the white skinned practicing Muslims are superior to black skinned Muslims. White skinned Muslim Sudanese slaughtered the dark skinned Muslim Sudanese in Darfur, as did some Pakistani Muslims to the Bangladeshi Muslims, because of the teaching of this verse.

September 25 in America will be used by Muslims as a significant day in Islam’s history. No doubt they will call this day a day of prayer in the future. Through their gathering for prayer on this day, they may also try to send a deceitful message to the future generations, saying that it was the Americans who preferred Islam above Christianity. Otherwise, they would not have tolerated this Islamic prayer which is against their own values. They have said such things about every country they occupied and America will not be an exception. If they said that it was the Persians, Egyptians and others who favored Islam above their own religions and opened the door for Islamists, then they will certainly say the same about Americans.

Islam destroys even through prayer. Everything in Islam must be in the service of Jihad against non-Muslims. Muhammad said:

Use your property, your persons and your tongues in striving against the polytheists (Dawud: B14, H2498 ).

May the love of Christ open the eyes of world leaders, including the leaders of America, to see that Islam is dangerous from its very core.

The Qur'an hates moderates

2010-01-30T23:01:00.001-08:00

In chapter (sura) 9:23, 81, the Qur’an says:

You who believe (Muslims)! Do not take your fathers and your brothers on as sponsors (“Avliya” in Arabic which means supervisor or warden) if they prefer disbelief rather than faith (Islam). Anyone of you who enlists them as sponsors are wrongdoers (“Zalimoon” in Arabic which means cruel people).

Those who were left behind are delighted to sit around inactive behind Allah’s messenger, and they hate to struggle (fight) in Allah’s way with their property and persons. They say: “Don’t march off in such heat!” Say: “Hellfire will be even hotter,” if they could only understand.

Chapter 33:36 of the Qur’an also says:

No believing (Muslim) man nor any believing woman should exercise any choice in their affair once Allah and his messenger have decided upon some matter. Anyone who disobeys Allah and his messenger has wandered off into manifest error.

These and many other verses in the Qur’an prove that any Muslim who speaks of choice (moderates) or does not attend jihad is sinning, cruel and is not taken as a friend by any faithful Muslim.

There are many Muslims who are moderates. But these Muslims are not interested in following the foot-steps of Muhammad or taking a religious position. They know if they take such a position, they have to be harsh and disrespectful to others, even to their moderate Muslim parents or siblings. Often, they say, “We do not want to turn our country to the Arabia of 1400 years ago. Unlike the culture of the Qur’an (above verse), middle-eastern culture encourages a great deal of respect towards parents. Even though Islam has spoiled the culture in many ways, its encouragement of disrespect is still one of the reasons that it has not been able to win greater numbers of Muslims for radicalism. One of the revolutionary judges in Iran sentenced his two sons to death, and after two decades Iranians still consider it as an evil act, even though it was Islamic and Qur’anic.

In the middle-east every body knows that anyone who takes over the leadership of a religious body serves for the cause of Islam. This person must act in accordance with the call of Muhammad and the law of Islam. Those with a middle-eastern background, who live in the west, clearly understand the subtle lies of Muslim leaders who claim to be moderate. They know that it is these so-called Muslim leaders who asphalt the roads for the law of Islam and in a manipulative way glorify the killings in the name of Allah. If these so-called moderate leaders did not exist in the west, the jihadist groups in the west would not be able to succeed and advance. These leaders are indeed the real servants of Muhammad who ordered an invasion of the rights of moderate Muslims and non-Muslims.

Why is the West a soft touch for Islam?

2010-01-30T22:57:00.001-08:00

In our previous letter, we ended our comments with this sentence, “If we do not know our enemy and do not create awareness in the community, the enemy will grow and dominate us.” Our focal point was Allah, the god of Islam, who is the root of problems for Muslims in their relationship with others. In 1400 years of Islamic history, we can see and read how Allah’s schools were strongly established with the influential doctrine of Taqiyya (holy deception). This was a deceptive tactic used to show Islam as the religion of light, but in reality, the religion of darkness and destruction.
Most westerners do not know this because:

1.   They have lost the relational values of life to a great degree and have replaced them with individualism and “money and success”. This is the bottom line of their cultural skeleton now. The life value of Christ, which is the “loving relationship”, does not have a role in their lives anymore. With an overriding focus on money and success, it is obvious that they will succeed (oil based countries) whose money is big.
2.    2. They are not communal anymore and do not feel attached to a community with a shared language, or legal and cultural values. They are aloof individuals for whom everything is right.
When community decreases and individualism becomes stronger, people do not show interest in the root of their shared history and culture, and thereby the ground becomes ready for those, like committed Muslims, who aim to dominate. The best time for Islamic occupation is when people are not united. How does this happen?
When people are indifferent and do not feel responsible for the well being of their societies, their leaders start to focus on their own personal needs and the needs of their intimate family members and friends. This is the time when the enemy finds easy access for penetration and eventual domination. The enemy knows that those leaders who are not attached to their nations can be bought or easily deceived.   Let us give you a few examples.
Seven hundred years ago, Muslim evangelists and businessmen migrated to Indonesia and manipulated its leaders with this same philosophy. They knew that an easy occupation of a land for Islam occurs when you deceive or kill kings, princes and leaders. Their money (like the petro-dollars of today) made even the king of the land believe that the Sharia had perfect instructions for life. What is happening in England is exactly the same thing that happened in Indonesia 700 years ago.
Gordon Brown’s Treasury spokesman said (February 18, 2008): "We want the City of London to be one of the gateways globally for Islamic financial products." Dr. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury said (February 7, 2008) that the Shari’a was “unavoidable and necessary for social cohesion” in the UK simply because of some Muslims disinterest in relating to the British legal system.   While God expects the Archbishop of Canterbury to open the eyes of his Government (as the prophet Nathan did to King David), he, instead, has paved the ground for more of Islam and for the establishment of Allah’s kingdom in his land. Allah’s deceiving agents have not only been able to deceive many secular citizens and leaders in the West, but also the governments and even some Christian leaders.
While the cries and shed blood of thousands of Muslim students and citizens in Islamic Countries (i.e. the citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who have been fighting against the Shari’a for years, with so many having been killed) say that Shari’a tightens the limits for freedom, is not compatible with democracy and is unbearable. Dr. Williams, on the contrary, states that Shari’a is essential for Muslims and English people and that they have no choice but to bear the discriminatory instructions associated with the practice of the Sahri’a, the Law of Islam.   Do these leaders know that their country is already a soft touch for terrorists? Are they aware that such an irresponsible approach to any principle of Sharia opens the door for more terrorism, since Sharia limits the freedom of choice? They know this. They also know that they are dependent on the Muslims’ oil. What about the Archbishop? Does he know that his country is in danger? Our fear is that the Archbishop may have been influenced by the “altruism” of western materialism, which denies any belief in “right or wrong”or “good or bad” and leads everybody to accept whatever knocks on their door because it is “unavoidable”. The Archbishop also used the same “unavoidable” in accepting Islam and its law.
Allah and the Qur’an have taught the committed Muslims the principles of undermining (Taqiyya in Arabic) non-Muslim values. Committed Muslims know the principles of Taqiyya very well. They are so good at clothing themselves as angels of light outwardly while carrying the ax (or Taqiyya) under their garments even to the palaces or leaders’ offices. The interfaith dialogue of Muslims with Christian leaders is also one of the channels of Islamic Taqiyya that aims to open the door for the establishment of Sharia in non-Islamic societies. Committed Muslims come to you as your friends, but in reality are enemies prepared for every kind of destruction. Recognize that they were even able to deceive the man who is the head of millions of Anglicans and claims to have the shield of Christ that protects him and his followers from the arrows of the deceiving one. Now, not only is he unable to protect himself and his followers from the invasion of Islam, but he also paves the way for the establishment of the kingdom of Allah in the UK.
Sadly, many British people are not aware of the disloyalty of their leaders to their country. They are not aware that their openness to the Islamic way of life and economy will lead London to become like the present day Jerusalem. The Muslims of that land do not believe in any rights for others, and are aiming to cleanse Israel from non-Muslims. This land was once in the hands of England. Not only this land, but also Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Jordan, Iraq and Kuwait, whose kings were appointed by the British Colonial Authorities. Even the appointed kings did not believe in equal opportunity for non-Muslims in their lands, including Christians. Now, not only do the minority Muslim leaders in Palestine, Jerusalem and Gaza believe that Jews in Israel should not have any rights, but the Muslim leaders of England too.
While Islam prohibits Muslims from integrating, and forces them to dominate over others, leaders in the West fear the economic pressures or the violence on the part of committed Muslims, and therefore refuse to speak in favour of democratic laws, but rather see the solution in a complete surrender. What a shame! Those who are expected to stand against the discrimination, threats and violence of Allah, instead, surrender to him.
The protection of individual rights in the West has been one of its oldest traditions. The Christians of the West paid a huge price in order to make freedom possible for every individual, every race, and every nationality. Now the West is becoming increasingly hostile to the Christian faith.
What are the solutions?
1.   All westerners need to stand against the Sharia. Many non-Christian westerners do not know that Sharia is stricter on them than on Christians. According to the Qur’an (chapter 9), Christians and Jews can buy their lives yearly if they want to live, but other non-Muslims have only one choice; die if they reject Islam or live if they accept Islam.
2.   The West depends on the oil of Islamic countries and this dependence means that the West has to accept Allah’s mind, which is the root of all problems and does not tolerate non-Islamic values. As long as the oil profits of Islamic countries are funneled into the pockets of a hostile ideology, threats to the western citizens will increase.
3.   The West has become indifferent to its own history and cultural values. The shame of colonialism, parochialism, racism and slavery in the past has rid many westerners of national responsiveness. Added to these is the altruistic multiculturalism of the West that gives equal or greater validity to Islam than to other religions and beliefs. If you are indifferent to your values and the rights of your own nation, of course the enemy will penetrate and demolish easily. Westerners need to return to the roots of their cultural values and find the key factors that helped them to establish democracy in order to once again protect them. 4. Last but not least, many Christians have also given up and do not want to pay a price in order to encourage their weary people to take on the light yoke of Christ in order to rid themselves of the political, social, educational or financial burdens that are leading to yoke them to Islam.
If we give up, our enemies will take over.

A relentless ambition

2010-01-30T22:49:00.001-08:00

In our previous letter, we discussed on how Allah changes with conditions. As the root, he has shaped the culture of Muslim nations in the world and has not allowed his own people to rest also. His prophet, Muhammad, chose to die rather than facing the Truth. What would you expect his follower to be? So unrest! They were involved with shedding the blood of their own nations and others, as the history of Islam shows. An unrest nation is not only unrest in itself, it will also disturb the peace of other nations too. Do they? Of course, they do, especially in the contemporary era when many countries in the non-Islamic world are dependent on their oil. No wonder why many leaders in the West not only keep quiet towards the inhumane attitudes of Muslim leaders, but they have allowed them to penetrate and influence the western countries too. No wonder, why honor killings of Islam, its hate speeches and threats against critics have been established in the western countries. Now Muslim leaders are asking for the establishment of Shari’a (the Islamic way of life) in the western countries. They are offended by seeing ladies walking uncovered in the streets of America, London, France and others. They do not have rest for the lack of amputation, hanging and stoning in the streets of non-Islamic countries. They will not have rest until all countries follow the example of Saudi Arabia. They never had rest in the Coptic Egypt, Zoroastrian Iran, Catholic Syria, Maronide Lebanon and Assyrian Iraq until they demolished their values. In the same way, they will not have rest until they destroy the democratic values in the West.

What is motivating them to do these to others? Allah and his Islam. Aren’t they able to see the beauty of life and give up the miserable life Allah has left for them? No. Allah has closed their eyes from the beginning; they are not allowed to read the chapters of others’ lives. Everybody who lives in Allah will be a threat to them. You have only two choices in Allah; to obey Allah and destroy others or to die. Their dependence on Allah becomes stronger when non-Muslim world keep quiet against the inhumane values of Allah. You imagine what will happen when some western leaders under the pressure of oil and economic crisis speak in favor of Allah and say that he is the same God Christians follow, betraying their own nations.

What is the solution?

The solution is Christ. I wish every body knew this.

A few years ago, I received a phone call from an atheist man in Sydney, saying that loved to support my ministry. This honestly worried me immediately; as atheism says that religions are the opium of the world. I thought that it could be a plot. I said to him this was the first time I had heard a communist wanted to support a Christian. “How can this be?”, I asked him. He said, “Honestly, you guys (other two Australian Daniels too) have opened the eyes of many to the threat of Islam. I was shocked on how some communist leaders are united with committed Muslims for the destruction of Christianity, but I have realized that what happened to communists in Islamic countries have never happened to us in the western countries, simply because of their Judeo-Christian values.”

I was not able to accept his financial support, but his words were so true and encouraging. The reason that the democracy of the West does not exist in any other country, is because of the role of Christianity in its root.

We are responsible to help our communities to know Islam. Islam will continue to subtly destroy the values of the West, unless we speak about the superior values of our root (Christ) and reveal the evil desires of Allah, the root of Islam. If we do not know our enemy and do not create awareness in the community, the enemy will grow and dominate us.

The problem is in the root

2010-01-30T22:48:00.001-08:00

Muslim leaders and scholars never compare their Qur’an and Islamic doctrine with the scriptures and doctrines of other beliefs in order to see where they stand in their relationship with God and nations. While the whole creation is based on cause and reason, Muslim leaders do not show interest in understanding the truth in the context of the world. How sad it is that with narrow mindedness they want to rule over the world. They think that they are following God, while in reality their lives are without God and hazardous to nations. What or who is the cause of this? The problem is in the root; Allah is the problem. When he is not in power, he manipulates and speaks in favor of everything, but when he gains power he imposes himself on others. No wonder why the Quran speaks one thing when Muhammad was not in political power;

λ   I will place Christians above those who do not believe in Jesus, until the day of resurrection (Q.3:55).
λ   Muslims, Jews, Christians and Sabeites who believe in God and the last Day, and do which is right, shall have their reward with their Lord: fear shall not come upon them, neither shall they be grieved (Q.2:62).
λ   We gave Moses the Book, so (Muhammad) do not be in any doubt about meeting it…(Q.32:23).
λ   There is no compulsion in religion (Q.2:256).
λ   Allah has ordained Israel for Jews (Q.5:20-21).
λ   And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, "Dwell securely in the land (of promise)“… (Q.17:104).

And speaks another thing after Muhammad gained power;

λ   You (Muslims) are the best folk that have been raised up unto mankind (Q.3:110).
λ   Muslims must not befriend non-Muslims (Q.4:89,144; 5:51).
λ   Christians belong to hell (Q.9:29-30, read the whole chapter).
λ   Allah has sent his apostle (Muhammad) with a religion of the truth, that he may make it victorious over every other religion (Q.9:33).
λ   He (Allah) gave you their (non-Muslims’) lands, and their dwellings, and their wealth, for an heritage – even a land on which ye had never set foot: for the might of Allah is equal to all things (Q.33:27).
λ   Prepare against the infidels whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them (Q.8:59).

Really, the problem is Allah. The Qur’an says:

λ   Allah misleads whom he will, and whom he will he guides (Q.14:4).
λ   For him whom Allah leads astray, you (Muhammad) shall by no means find a pathway (Q.4:88).
λ   Allah has fashioned the soul with debauchery and righteousness (Q.91:8).

What is left for conscience if Allah, as the ultimate power in Islam, decided to mislead people? If Allah is the deceiver, what will you expect his followers to be? That’s why Muslims leaders have been misleading people for 1400 years since the rise of Islam.

Therefore, watch out and be not deceived by anyone who speaks things like, ‘Islam is the religion of peace; there is not compulsion in Islam; Allah and God are the same, etc.’

Because, when Islam grows its Allah will show his real nature and will act nomadic as he does in all Islamic countries. He is the root of problem in Islam.

Invasion is the national and international obligation of committed Muslims

2010-01-30T22:46:00.001-08:00

They began by terrorizing their own citizens, who love freedom, and continued by establishing themselves as governments in their own homelands. As a result, they have equipped themselves to spread tyranny internationally.

Mahmud Ahmadinejad, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, himself a suicide bomber and terrorist, enjoys shedding the blood of his own citizens. He also passed a bill in the Iranian Parliament that any citizen who changes his/her religion in Iran or abroad must be killed. His army, Hezbollah, has invaded the sovereignty of Lebanon aiming to use this country as a bridge for the destruction of Israel. In the same way, the Taliban of Afghanistan has occupied two Pakistani states and is aiming at the occupation of the whole country. When it comes to the destruction of the so-called Infidel Jews, every country is obligated to finance terrorism. Egyptian Yasser Arafat forcibly became the head of Palestinians once many Islamic countries favored Israel’s destruction. World leaders shook Arafat’s hands and considered him a Palestinian freedom-fighter.

Committed Muslims cannot live without invasion as long as there are non-Muslims and even moderate Muslims in the world. They are called to fight such unbelievers. The life of their prophet, Muhammad, is full of colorful invasion and looting of non-Muslim neighbors. And since Muhammad is called the best model for Muslims, they are obliged to follow his footsteps. Allah says that he formed Muhammad with tremendous character so Muslims would take him as a role model:

You (Muhammad) have been formed with tremendous character (Q.68:4).

In Allah’s messenger, you (Muslims) have a fine model… (Q.33:21).

Obey Allah and the messenger…that you may receive mercy (Q.24:54, 56).

…Accept anything the messenger may give you, and keep away from anything he withholds from you… (Q.59:7).

Muhammad’s invasions were towards Muslims and non-Muslims. He disregarded the political, social, and moral rights of his own followers because he thought Allah favored him more and desired more allegiance from him than from his other followers. No Muslim had as many worldly rights as Muhammad had:

1.    He had absolute authority over all, and nobody had the right to speak above his words (Q.33:36).
2.    Every Muslim man had the right to marry four wives, but he was given the right to marry nine.
3.    He had the right to force his daughter-in-law to get divorced so that he could marry her (Q.33).
4.    He had the right to replace his older wives with younger girls (Q.4:20),
5.    He had the right to discriminate against his own wives (Q.4:129).
6.    His wives had no right to be unhappy over whatever he said or gave to them (Q.33:51).

The practical aspect of Islamic rule has taught Muslims that those at the top have more rights than anyone in a lower position. Muhammad decreed a death sentence for any lady involved in adultery, but he did not apply the law for one of his own wives who was involved in adultery. The hands of poor people who stole bread for survival were amputated in Iran and Saudi Arabia because of Islamic law. Yet, Allah’s close followers and their children steal millions and his law is kept passive towards them.

Invasion is an inseparable part of Islamists lives. They always have some people or country to invade- they have Shiites to blame Sunnis (or visa versa); they have committed ones (like Taliban) to blame nominal Muslims (example Pakistan); they have jihadist to destroy non-Muslims cultures (Jews, Christians, Hindus, Bahais and others) or to kill them. Allah has inspired them to participate in invasions both nationally and internationally. Nationally, they invade their fellow citizens who desire or tolerate democracy. Internationally, they plot for the destruction of those who are different from them or do not live their way. That’s why Saudi Arabia, the heart-land of Islam, is the biggest provider of money for terrorism and for cultural and economic jihad in non Islamic countries. Even when the leaders of the Islamic countries gather for their international summits, the demonization (cultural terrorism) of Israel is always a part of their discussion.

Islamists inherit invasion. When they are poor, they invade others and loot them. When they are rich, they invade to destroy others. When they have weapons, they invade physically; but when they do not have weapons they invade culturally (cultural jihad) to destroy non-Islamic values.

What do you think the children, grandchildren and future generations of these Muslims will inherit from them? Islam’s own history answers this question very well- oppression, torture, amputation, hanging, genocide, poverty, sex slavery, harassment, replacing freedom with terrorism, forcing millions of people to follow Islam, embracing terrorism, honor killing, racism, criminalizing all criticisms of Islam, suppressing freedom of speech and destroying equal opportunities.

This is the legacy Islam has left for its followers. It has shaped the brains and hearts of its followers with violence of invasions. Muslims, therefore, will never be able to change and be peaceful to their own citizens and to the international community unless they stay away from Allah and Muhammad.

Do the world leaders and communities know as to what the national and international goals of Islam are? Do they know that the foreign policy of the radical Islamic countries and groups is based on deeply-valued religious hatred and invasion? Sadly, they don’t.

It is therefore our responsibility to wake them up so that they can stay away of these Muslims rather than accommodating their thirst for more destruction. We need to unveil the destructive nature of Islam so that Muslims and non-Muslims will be able to understand that Islam is a political religion that aims to establish radicalism both nationally and internationally at the cost of freedom and peace.

Can freedom exist if Islam grows stronger in the West?

2010-01-30T22:43:00.001-08:00

The responses to this question vary ideologically. If you believe that you are a moral agent accountable to God for playing an autonomous role in the life, relationships, workings and generosity of your community, then your response will not be the same as if you believe that your mind is irrelevant to decision-making, creativity or progress and therefore somebody else must regulate your choices and actions. In the latter one, you certainly will give way to the dictatorial individuals who will take advantage of your passivity to achieve their goals. They never believe that their goals can be realized through reason and rationality and for this reason they target those who can serve their coercion and authoritarianism.

A prime example of such coercion is found in Islam, which is tolerated by passive westerners and politically correct politicians who know little about the means of democracy and freedom. Islam dictates to people how they should behave and what they should believe. People have no right to say anything when it comes to Muhammad’s or his successors’ decisions on any matter of life, since obedience is absolute and everybody must submit to religious leaders and follow the dictates of the Islamic legal principles. Common people (awwam) are called animals; as the saying goes in Arabic: al-awwam kal anaam! (People are like animals). The master possesses all rights and animals are just directed to perform their duties. Animals are free to eat, rest, be used or be killed, at the convenience of their masters. This is what freedom is in Islam. You are free to be mute, like an animal, and perform duties for your leader.

Some Iranians and Saudi Arabians speak of Islamic freedom and say that there is freedom in their countries, but it is the kind of freedom in which you are only free to keep quiet in order to live, or to speak out in order to die.

Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, established this centralized social and political system in order to have absolute authority over his followers without any accountability to them. He said:

"Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah, and whoever obeys the ruler I appoint, obeys me, and whoever disobeys him, disobeys me." (Al-Bukhari: V9, B89, H251)

So, Muhammad – or a Muslim leader – is the second-in-command on earth on Allah’s behalf and has no need to consider the opinions of his followers.

It is not for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and his apostle, to choose another option: If anyone disobeys Allah and his apostle, he is indeed on the wrong path, and the consequences are dreadful, painful, and imminent (Q.33:36).

A Muslim leader does not have any shortcomings. Everybody must learn from him and be subject to him. For this reason, opposition to him is unnecessary and ungodly and is to be treated with agressive violence:

You who believe (Muslims), kill any disbeliever who are close to you (relatives and neighbors) so that they may find out how harsh you are. Allah is with those who are pious (Q.9:123).

Hostility and harshness are the signs of piety, perfection and victory in Islam. Muslims are asked to harsh from a deep theological fervor based on the instruction of the Quran. Muslim leaders, the most pious ones, are always right to be harsh to those who do not follow their models. This is why hostilities and wars never stop in Islamic countries. They finish only when all opposition ceases. Also, whenever leaders attack their opposition, people have no choice but to confirm the leaders' actions and prove their loyalty to them and their obedience to Allah. It is sin if anyone speaks in favor of opposing authority. If any one does, then all the penalties of cooperating with enemies will be imposed upon them.

What is going to happen to freedom if the influence of pious Muslims grows in the West? How can we live in freedom and justice if Islam establishes itself strongly?

Islamic history and the life in Islamic countries prove that where Islam is present, freedom cannot flourish.

We need to hold on to the values of Christ strongly. Christ has a rational theology that encourages moral equality, reason, logic and relational trust. Freedom rose and advanced in the West because of Christian logic. Christian values founded social, political and economic relationships on honesty and equality, regardless of people’s rank, race, nationality or belief. Christian ethics revealed God-given autonomy in work and working environment, and advanced life in every aspect by establishing economic liberty in the West. Max Weber’s “Protestant Ethic” even drew the attention of business men and women in the world to the value of the dignity of their workers and of the members of their organizations, which in turn also brought a better financial return to them. The West's economies boomed because of Christians' respect for mankind, including business owners and workers.

God has created all equally. In the eyes of God, there is no difference between prophets and normal followers, husbands and wives, employers and employees, masters and slaves. God wants people to base their relationships on mutual compassion and respect and to fight racism, discrimination and intolerance.

While communist governments killed off religious and non-religious opposition or persecuted them, and while Islamic countries were unable to tolerate reason and logic and discriminated against females and non-Muslims, and slaughtered thousands of their oppositions, the West aligned itself with Christian values, demolished slavery, respected the dignity and rights of people, tolerated every belief and won preeminence by relying on reason and logic, prospering in every aspect of life.

It would be better for westerners to being to accept the uncomfortable fact that Islam is an enemy to freedom, peace and equal opportunity. Freedom cannot exist without Christian faith. We need to hold Christianity up in the West in order to keep our freedom alive; otherwise, Islam will grow and destroy freedom completely.

Why are they so angry?

2010-01-30T22:40:00.000-08:00

We hear from many quarters that the boys who were suicide bombers in England were angry about Great Britain’s (and others’) presence in Iraq and that they had no choice but to commit suicide and kill their fellow citizens, in order to push the British Government to withdraw from Iraq.

From my perspective and personal experience of radical Islam, they acted as suicide bombers because of their own spiritual imprisonment – a result of their beliefs that gave them no choice but to commit this act, regardless of world events happening around them. If they were free in spirit they would not do things like killing fellow citizens, which is exactly the thing they accuse others of doing.

Let us go back a few years. Why did angry radical Muslims choose to live and not use suicide bombing to kill any of Saddam’s people, when Saddam killed thousands of Kurds and invaded Kuwait and Iran caused the death of hundreds of thousands of Muslims? How can they now argue that they had no choice except death because of Iraq and Afghanistan are occupied by Westerners? What does this mean? Are Muslims who die under cruel Islamic regimes different in the minds of these suicide bombers from Muslims who die under non-Islamic regimes? Are not all Muslim lives equally valuable? What makes these radical Muslims capriciously hostile to the West?

They justify their actions in accordance with their beliefs about a country’s ruler. For them, authoritarian Muslim rulers, who actively oppose Israel and the West, are simply better than the leaders of democratic non-Muslim nations. This discrimination has its root in the centre of their beliefs and values. Unjust actions perpetrated by one Muslim nation against another are seen as ‘ethical’ in their value system, but any conflict between a Muslim nation and a non-Muslim nation is abhorrent, regardless of the issues involved.

While I was a radical Muslim, I remember that I never cared for the rights of people in Christian Cyprus, but cried for the Muslims in Islamic Cyprus; I praised the invasions of Muhammad and his followers that brought about the spread of Islam, but I hated the crusaders who aimed to release their own religious site from the occupancy of Muslims. My faith was based on a capricious god who had a dualistic belief; the act of sacrificing one's life to kill others is good when it is done against non-Muslim nations but bad when the conflict is between two Muslim nations.

When Jesus is in my life, my moral and ethical values do not change with the wind. Instead, I have a solid, holy, just, free and peaceful foundation and my political, social, moral and ethical values are not relative and always changing. As the Gospel of Christ says, “…if the root is holy so are the branches” (Rom.11:16).

We praise Jesus who through His grace has planted a holy root in our lives that grows branches having the same nature. Nothing could change the heart of a hostile Muslim except Jesus. In the same way, if we introduce radical Muslims to Jesus, Jesus will transform them from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light and they will be able to share in this holiness together with us (Acts 26:18). Their major problem is not political or social issues, as if through only political and social reforms we might help them to avoid upset and discrimination in this world. Their problem is fundamentally spiritual and they need a sound, true and holy belief to change their hearts.
