I recently set out to learn more about Islam. I had no agenda at the time except to broaden my knowledge on the subject. What I have learned sickened me. I had previously been accepting of the notion that Islam was a peaceful religion and that the Muslim terrorists who inflict so much pain and death around the world represented a fringe element outside of mainstream Islam. I was wrong.
The Islamic deity, Allah, is a false god. While the term "Allah" does indeed carry the same meaning as "God," Mohammed's Allah is nothing more than a construct of a vile false prophet who sought to create an empire upon the rotting corpses of his enemies. Let's review some history...
In 621 A.D. Mohammed was in Mecca preaching to any who would listen that he alone was the Divine Prophet of the One God, Allah. Meccans eventually grew tired of his ranting and demanded that he cease and desist. With a tiny band of followers, Mohammed sneaked out of Mecca in the dead of night and traveled to the Jewish city of Medina. He and his followers were sick, tired, and hungry and the Jews there took them in and nursed them to good health.
Unfortunately Mohammed was consumed with rage over his being booted out of Mecca and began plotting his revenge. It was this plan that became the basis for the religion of Islam. In January of 623 A.D. Mohammed ordered his band of thugs to attack four unarmed merchants who were transporting their wares to Mecca. All four were brutally murdered and their merchandise (raisins, animal skins, and honey) was stolen. Claiming a Divine Right, Mohammed received one fifth of the take.
Mohammed began to preach to his followers that it was mandated by Allah that nonbelievers (like his perceived enemies in Mecca) were "the worst kind of beasts" and that they must be slain. This cruel rhetoric attracted the sort of people who enjoy such depraved activities and soon Mohammed had an army numbering in the hundreds. Rape, robbery, and murder were all sanctioned as being the Divine Will of Allah, and Mohammed reaped a fortune as his growing army raged across ancient Arabia.
Poets and politicians alike who spoke out against him were tortured and murdered. Even the Jews of Medina, who had shown him such kindness, were eventually driven from their homes while Mohammed's Muslim band pillaged the city. With each new raid, Mohammed would claim to have had yet another "revelation" from Allah that justified their actions. In short, Mohammed led a tribe of barbarians who truly believed that they were doing Allah's will by destroying pre-Islamic Arabia. In all, Mohammed would order 86 raids upon the innocent, 26 of which he led himself. In 630 A.D. Mohammed marched triumphantly into Mecca with 40,000 followers. His revenge was complete, but the horrors of Islam had only begun.
Mohammed's sole purpose in everything he did was to feed his enormous ego and satisfy his perverse sexual needs. In all, Mohammed had eleven wives, nine of them simultaneously, with the youngest being only ten years old. Eye-witness accounts claim that Aisha brought her toys with her when she was delivered to the Prophet of Allah.
Mohammed regarded women as nothing more than sexual toys and servants, and of course justified his actions by proclaiming that it was Allah's will that women always be subjugated to men. Seeing him as their spiritual guide and role model, other Muslim men treated their women accordingly. A cycle of abuse that still endures today in many parts of the world had thus begun.
By the time Mohammed died at age 63, the face of the Middle East had changed from a civilized and prosperous world to one of fear, poverty, and deprivation. Gone was any semblance of free expression or religious freedom. Mohammed and his followers had turned the known world upside down.
The Twelfth-Century Crusades were in fact a response by England, France and Germany to the growing Muslim violence against Christians. It is quite appropriate to state that the Crusades against "Mohammedism" constituted the first War on Terror. A coalition of like-minded nations, setting aside their political differences for a time, engaging a barbaric and bloodthirsty Muslim enemy on its own soil. Sound familiar?
As time passed, the Crusades came to an end due as much to internal bickering as success. The beast that is Islam had been diminished but not defeated. As the years rolled by Islam once again spread its leathery wings to darken the civilized world. Through violence and deception Islam has spread to virtually every nation on Earth.
In current times, Islam still commits acts of unthinkable barbarism against the innocent. With videos of beheadings transmitted all over the world, the devastating attack in New York on September 11, 2001, the recent bombings in Madrid and London… haven't we had enough? Isn't it time that we recognize that Islam is not a religion, but rather a means of world conquest? It doesn't matter if people like Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein actually believe in Allah. In truth I doubt that Mohammed believed. Mohammed saw an opportunity to become a world power and twisted the minds of men to serve his evil purposes. He was a fraud and I find it incredible that 1400 years after his death, that fraud is still being inflicted upon the world.
The time has come to cease being tolerant of Islam. It is a false religion, based upon a false god and the teachings of a false prophet. We absolutely must see Islam for what it is: The Enemy of All Humanity.
Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I (Mohammed) am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."
The Qur'an, Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17
I also included in my message, the request that the president think seriously about whether or not it is still a good idea to continue to refer to Islam as "a religion of peace."
There is enough solid, factual historical information out by now, to thoroughly discount any claim whatsoever, that this blood-and-death cult, invented by a voracious, unprincipled brigand.......was then, is now or ever will be "peaceful!"

Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like a charming type. He'd fit in well in a darkened corner of bin Laden's cave!
Thanks for posting this. Bump for later review.
Very good article. Thanks for posting it here.
bump
Oh boy, you've done it now. You've gone and printed the facts about Mohammed.
Whoa, Mr. Burkhart, you're in big trouble now! The religion of peas don't take kindly to someone trashing their small g god.
Can't find anything to disagree with here. As it was then, it is now.
I can't wait to see if any of the Islamic apologists on FR will chime in.
Char!
Char :)
Darn it, you've gone and made me curious about this! I'm afraid I'll actually have to read the Koran now and see what's actually in there ... sigh ... oh, well, you know what they say: Know your enemy.
Nice article, but I think it's too soft in its portrayal of the lunatic rapist murderer who founded the Religion of Death.
BUMP
You should send this to Rush also.
I have no idea how factual this is, because I know little of Islamic history. Though, the disgusting evidence I see every day on T.V. seems to support the vulgarity and evil of this so-called religion.
What do the Muslims say about this? How do they explain this?
The typical muslim response consists of cutting your head off or blowing you up.
And then there's Africa:
Distribution of food begins in hungry Niger, though worst still yet to come
Niger's hungry await aid, harvest
Religions:
Muslim 80%, remainder indigenous beliefs and Christian
Thanks for the useful post.
This is interesting..
"Unfortunately Mohammed was consumed with rage over his being booted out of Mecca and began plotting his revenge."
Bin Laden was booted out of Saudia Arabia.
Excellent post!
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Russians only wanted peace too. I heard the Red Army Chorus sing an anthem to that effect, so it must have been true. That was just before they invaded another country.
Islam has always been militaristic and expansionistic. As someone posted, they started WW Zero. It has not ended.
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I think they know better than it's a religion of peace. Do you think they could actually come out and tell the truth regarding this HATEFUL religion?
and even after all this truth, some will refuse to believe. Islam is no religion, its a death cult.
Thanks for sharing this excellent, informative, post with us.
Chock full of truth.
I read somewhere (sorry, can't source it) that Mohammed at one point became obsessed/depressed by the fact that muslims did not have their own holy book. Next thing ya know, like POOF!! there it is - written by none-other-than (with divine help of course).
It was at that point, about 10 or 15 years ago, I began to think islam just might, maybe, be a BS religion. And I don't mean college graduate...
Most Muslims are told what to belive by their local Mullah...and can never question what is said (one of those little Mohammedisms). If you look around, its hard to find a die-hard Muslim who has a university degree...and if they do practice, its at the liberal end of the religion (if you can call it a religion). Obvsiously, we are dealing with a cult here, and we to treat it as such. The truth is that Iraq never was much of a goal for the Bush administration...its the Saudi Muslims who have made our world a unsafe place. Ossama is still target number one, and we should prioritize ourself in such a fashion.
It sounds like someone is going to be going into hiding soon.
would love to have a T shirt withthis picture on it.
Mohammed was a Thug----I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR 5 YEARS PEOPLE!!! THE THUGGESE, THE DIE FOR KALI GROUP. GO RENT, NO BUY "GUNGA DIN'' NOW!!! I'LL WAIT.
Mostly by arguing that the quotes are being taken out of context and usually by knocking christianity for "wrongs" it committed hundreds of years ago.
Your "moderate" muslims play the game of "reinterpretation" or "Selectivity" i.e. think cafeteria religion, of picking and choosing.
The quran (and hadith, which, while Mohammad was illiterate, he did have a biographer follow him around, is the 2nd holiest book in islam) are pretty specific, and he went out of his way to make sure every single thing was to be taken literally.
To put this in perspective, how bad this religion is, even if there are muslims out there who disagree with the terrorists today, they are smart enough not to mouth off about it, the so-called "moderates" (usually polished soft spoken liars who hide hidden agendas better then the usual folks) know that they themselves are not in the mainstream in islam.
bttt
I've saying here for years that Islam is a gutter religion based upon a false god and designed solely for the benefit of a misogynist/child molester. The Koran is so contradictory that it is impossible to take seriously.
I can also hope that the terrorists own actions will cause the more humane Muslems to re-examine their religion (cult).
There are a number of authors you might want to check out to learn about islam: Robert Spencer, Danial Pipes, Ibn Warraq, Bat Y'eour, Craig Winn...also a number of websites to get you started: www.answeringislam.org, www.jihadwatch.org, prophetofdoom.net, faithfreedom, etc.
The sacking of Medina including the beheading and subsequent posting of all the Jewish heads on spears.
The story of Mohammed is all about military conquest.
Actually, quite a few muslims who either go or have gone to the universities are extreme.
Think liberalism or left wing ideology here on american campuses, now replace that with islam over there.
In the middle east, the only place where the univeristy system is not a hot bed of islam (compared to the other countries), is...ironically, iraq and iran (go figure), and the last one only became like that recently, they were originally the folks who formed the theocratic republic in the first place.
The taliban started out as a bunch of university radicals and Bin Laden also was well educated.
In Saudi Arabia most of the intellectual movement is dominated by islamists, like our acadamia here is dominated by mostly leftists.
Your local mullah is supposed to be a scholar, and as frightening as it may sound, students at these schools flock to the most extreme ones.
Some of them grow out of it later on, some of them kill themselves and others as suicide bombers, and if your lucky, the ones who go into hard sciences (with exceptions, again Bin Laden) might avoid chunks of the influence and become the "pick and choose" types of muslims, not very religious, and more likely to play "interpretations" with the holy books rather then "submit".
Basically, this is what Travis McGee and wardaddy have been saying all along.
Thanks for those. I was just telling my hubby that we should do some research. This will really help us get started.
