Babylon's Covert War - The conflict in Iraq explained
Amazon Books ^ | 2008 | JH White

Posted on 06/14/2014 5:03:14 AM PDT by BCW

s it possible to really win the war on terror? Are there really reasons for Jihad that can be understood and countered by the West? Is military or martial action the last-best chance for ending the threat posed by Islam? In his new and controversial book, Babylon’s Covert War, author J H White answers these and other complex questions related to the global fight against radical Jihad. Islam has a strategy that was incorporated by Muhammad in the 7th Century that has continued in various forms over a multitude of battlefields be they military, social, or political. During the emergence of Islamic domination, the United States never fully grasped or understood that Islam was a creature that grew and survived through deceit, lies, and falsehoods. Western, and particularly U.S., mistakes regarding Islam’s rise to power, coupled with political interference from Washington D.C. and hampered by traditionally-minded military strategists, have allowed Islam to grow and spread outside of the traditional boundaries of the Middle East. For its part, Islam is more than happy to exploit the divisions caused by the West’s inability to act decisively against perceived threats, fully understanding that our inaction ties the hands of the true warriors who are ready, willing, and able to act to neutralize it. Islam’s threat has been long lived, and until it is met with force and destroyed totally it will not subside.

QUOTE: “Islam has a strategy that was incorporated by Muhammad in the 7th Century that has continued in various forms over a multitude of battlefields be they military, social, or political.”

THIS IS EXACTLY CORRECT.

What we see in ISIL/ISIS is exactly how Mohammed (thee Mohammed) advanced Islam. Mohammed...”peace be upon him” they say...beheaded people by his own hand and that was Islam as a fully developed political and religious philosophy.

WHAT WE SEE IN ISIS/ISIL IS ISLAM.

Note that Mohemmed was an orphan and it is believed that in his early teens he was taken under the wing (educated by) of a Christian scholar. This is why the Koran carries on many stories that appeared in the Bible but they were warped to appeal to the Arab sensibility and pride -this was done by Mohammed to suit his aspersions of political/dictorial control.

The Koran was dictated by Mohammed and is ordered roughly in reverse timeline. The oldest chapters at the back and the newest chapters at the front. We often hear that the Koran starts out with more of the violent victoryl at the front and the more peaceful social aspects at the end. Then we’re told something foolish like “oh, if Muslims would just read deeper into the Koran they would be more peaceful.” That is just stupid. Mohammed wrote the oldest more peaceful (shorter) chapters that appear at the end of the Koran when he had little or no power amassed. When Mohammed had amassed power and the Islamic caliph was established Mohemmed was then writing the newest chapters at the beginning of the Koran which are filled with violence and victoryl. These (newest) chapters strapped in violence represent Mohammed’s fully developed religious philosophy.
