Islam's Anti-Christian Jihad
By Robert Spencer
FrontPageMagazine.com | March 29, 2004
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has
published
an ad in several California newspapers to promote
peace
between Christians and Muslims. "Like Christians," it
says,
"Muslims respect and revere Jesus. Islam teaches that
Jesus is
one of the greatest of God's prophets and messengers
to
humankind. Like Christians, every day, over 1.3
billion
Muslims strive to live by his teachings of love,
peace, and
forgiveness. Those teachings, which have become
universal
values, remind us that all of us, Christians,
Muslims, Jews,
and all others have more in common than we think."
I support efforts to diminish prejudice and build
bridges, but
not under false pretenses. CAIR would do more to
promote peace
by confronting and repudiating the roots of Muslim
hostility
toward Christians. It could start by denouncing some
recent
incidents of Muslim persecution of Christians around
the
world.
One notable site of this persecution is Egypt. "I
have
received so many letters," said the patriarch of
Egypt's
Coptic Church, Pope Shenouda III, in a speech last
week,
"about what's happening to the Christian girls who go
to
supermarket stores to shop. At the store they tell
them that
they have won and have to go upstairs to receive
their award
or prize. After that we don't know what's happening
to these
girls upstairs."
Whatever is happening, they aren't being given free
coupons.
Pope Shenouda adds: "We don't know where they took
the girls.
They could be anywhere." They most likely have been
taken to
places where they can be pressured to convert to
Islam. Says
Wilfred Wong of the Jubilee Campaign, a Christian
human rights
group: "The attempts to force Christians to convert
to Islam
in Egypt are on the increase and the methods are
getting
increasingly varied and well organized."
In fact, some of these forced conversions, Wong
observes, "are
being conducted by well funded groups. ... It is
common for
money to be offered to Christians to convert to Islam
... but
it also common for intimidation and force, including
kidnapping and the threat or use of rape to be
adopted as a
method of making Christians convert to Islam.
Christian women
and girls are especially vulnerable to these attacks
and the
Egyptian authorities do nothing to protect the
Christians. The
Egyptian police even order the families of kidnapped
Christian
women to forget about their daughters and not to try
to get
them back."
In neighboring Sudan it's much the same story.
Reports
journalist Jesper Strudsholm: "According to several
human
rights organizations, it is common for desperate
Sudanese to
convert to Islam to gain access to food and money.
While the
government earlier this year was busy negotiating a
peace
built on religious tolerance, up to 3,000 Christians
were
given a four-week crash course in Islam in Khartoum."
A Dinka
chief explained, says Strudsholm, that they were
enticed by
promises of food, money, food, cars, and free trips
to Mecca -
little of which they actually received.
In Indonesia, dozens of churches have been forcibly
closed in
recent months - including seven in one day in a
province west
of Jakarta. The Barnabas Fund reports that
motorcycle-riding
Muslim attackers have targeted individual Christians:
"Nuci, a
40-year old mother of two, died two hours after
receiving
fatal injuries to her head, neck and back. A witness
to the
incident described how she heard the roar of the
motorbikes,
followed almost immediately by a baby's screams. She
ran
towards the cries and found Nuci, bleeding to death
and
crawling towards her baby."
Where does the Islamic animus toward Christians come
from?
Certainly radical Muslims despise Christians: the
great
radical theorist Sayyid Qutb said that while "Jews
have been
behind every calamity that has befallen the Muslim
communities
everywhere," Christians "have been no less hostile."
But the
roots lie deeper. CAIR's ad doesn't mention the
verses of the
Qur'an that say that those who "call Christ the son
of Allah"
are under "Allah's curse" (9:30), or that command
Muslims to
"fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last
Day . . .
(even if they are) of the People of the Book" - that
is,
primarily Jews and Christians (9:29). Yet Muslims
around the
world are acting upon them. If CAIR wants Christians
to
believe that Christians and Muslims have "more in
common than
we think," let them repudiate the violence these
verses still
inspire in the world, and help Muslims understand
these verses
in a way that will enable them to live in lasting
peace with
their Christian neighbors.

The above account does not include the scores of Christian churches
that been attacked in Iraq in the last two months. Islamists have
added the assertion that these Chaldean Christians are allied with
their hated American enemies to justify the many assaults that have
multiplied in recent weeks though their true motivation is an inbred
hatred of all who do not share their medieval Wahhabi Islamic insanity.
This is what the "Holy" Qur'ran has to say about the "People of the
Book" that today's Muslims seem to feel justified in the heinous crimes
and atrocities they commit in the Name of God:
Instructions to Muslims regarding Christians and Jews
Prophet Mohammed has reserved special position for certain sects of
Unbelievers in his so called "Holy Book" Koran. Those unbelievers are
none other than followers of Christianity and Judaism. I have selected
a few verses from the "Holy" Koran to display what Muslims are taught
and instructed as far as the treatment of Christians and Jews is
concerned.
Koran 5:51
Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are
friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall
become one of their number. Allah does not guide the wrong-doers.
In this verse Prophet Mohammed is clearly instructing his followers
never to befriend a Christian or a Jew. Because if they take a
Christian or a Jew as a friend, they will commit a wrong deed and
Allah's wrath will be on them. (Thereby ensuring that all social
interaction and ideas are rigidly controlled by only properly
sanctioned "Islamic" means and also carefully exploiting the natural
tribal identify and constant fear of the illiterate nomad:)
Koran 5:57
Believers, do not seek the friendship of the infidels and those who
were given the Book before you, who have made your religion a jest and
a pasttime...
Here "those who were given the Book before you" refers to Christians
and Jews. Once again Mohammed is warning Muslims of all time never to
befriend a Christian or a Jew. (but Mo neglects to comment on WHY "The
Book" was given to Jews and then Christians before his myopic cave
fantasies arrived - often accompanied by epileptic seizures - yes, the
Prophet was also an epileptic)
Koran 5:64
The Jews say: 'God's hand is chained.' May their own hands be chained!
May they be cursed for what they say!...
In the above verse Prophet Mohammed is showing his deep respect for the
Jews.
(Mo does not believe in 'freedom of speech or ideas' and does
everything possible to discourage it amongst his disciples). This
atmosphere of the rigid control of ideas is continued well on into
today in the Arab Press and particularly at Internet Web Sites operated
by Muslims and their allies - these verses are also used as a reason
for the "Fatwas" that demand death for "Blasphemy" such as the
notorious ruling on Simon Ruthsie's "Satanic Verses" which earned him a
DEATH SENTENCE issued by Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini.
Koran 9:29
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last day, nor hold the
forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his messenger, nor
acknowledge the Religion of Truth from among the People of the Book,
until they pay the Jiziyah with willing submission. And feel themselves
subdued.
Here 'People of the Book' refers to Christians and Jews. The 'Religion
Of Truth' refers to Islam. So in the above verse Prophet Mohammed is
instructing Muslims to fight and torture Christians and Jews (who do
not believe in Islamic version of God) until they pay tax to Muslims
for their existence. Muslims are also strictly instructed to make the
Christians and Jews feel 'subdued'. Allah is truly benign !!! (but Mo
is a good Arab Bedouin crook as well - and repeatedly instructs his
followers on how to use blackmail and extortion to fund his 'religion')
Koran 9:30
The Jews call 'Uzayr-a son of God', and the Christinas call 'Christ the
Son Of God'. That is a saying from their mouth; (In this) they but
intimate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on
them: how they are decluded away from the Truth.
Here Prophet Mohammed is wishing that Allah's curse be on Jews and
Christians. And what did the Christians and Jews do for such special
favour from Allah ? All they did is that out of respect and love, they
called their Prophets 'son of God'. (but Mo offers only curses for the
"People of the Book" who he acknowledges as his theological ancestors)
Thus it is not at all surprising to see why many Muslims regard
Christians and Jews as unbelievers that must be subdued. Moderate
Muslims do not share these hateful ideologies, but they are sadly on
the decline and becoming rather difficult to find. The Fundamental and
Traditional Muslims are the crux of the current dilemma and must be
destroyed for the good of mankind. We can look to Pakistan to get an
understanding of their twisted vision for world hegemony:
Pakistani radical Muslim theorist Syed Abul Ala Maududi declared that
"Islam requires the earth - not just a portion, but the whole planet -
not because the sovereignty over the earth should be wrested from one
Nation or several Nations and vested in one particular Nation, but
because the entire mankind should benefit ... from 'Islam' which is the
programme of well-being for all humanity.
Islamism, which espouses these tenets is the 21st century version of
the Communism that dominated the 20th century. Like its EVIL
precursor, this Demonic and atavistic version of 'religion' must be
defeated and all of its atavistic advocates destroyed and blasted back
into Hades.
The number of Islamist extremists in the world as estimated by moderate
Muslim
leaders: about 12 million. Fundamentalist sympathizers: 120 million.
Those numbers represent 1 percent and 10 percent of the world's
Muslim population of 1.2 billion. The CIA puts the extremists much
higher - 40 million. They must all be destroyed and sent into Hades.
A truly fitting American response would be to give the entire Ummah 1 a
big surprise for Christmass:
A MUSHROOM CLOUD OVER MECCA!
The barbaric baboons that are known as radical Islamists leave us no
choice at all - they must all be destroyed and sent back to Hell so we
must simply:
KILL THEM ALL! (God will sort them out)
