Islam & Muslims in the Bahamas - a sad and growing tragedy
« on: July 13, 2016, 01:14:13 PM »
I was saddened to learn today that Islam has even gained a foothold in the vast-majority-Christian nation of the Bahamas (91% profess to be Christian).
http://muslimobserver.com/islam-in-the-bahamas/

I understand that Islam started in the Bahamas about 40 years ago, and with the exception of one Bahamian national, would seem to have been primarily an export from the U.S.
That was also about the time of the beginning of the exponential increase in the number of (considerably Saudi financed) mosques in the U.S. (which is up 74% even just since 2,000).

Since that article indicates there are only about 300 Muslims in the Bahamas, Bahamian Christians have an unprecedented opportunity to nip the Islamic beast in the bud, before their churches, schools, buses, government buildings and such, begin getting blown up by true, fundamental, orthodox followers of Muhammad, that would eventually issue out of that mosque.
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/the_islamic_state.htm

The mosque may appear quiet enough, and as they are in an under 1% minority in the Bahamas, Muslims will likely limit their activities to deceiving Bahamians into joining them through the falsehoods and half-truths employed during "Dawah". However there is not a thing in the world that exempts that mosque from being just like its sisters in the U.S., 80% of which teach the imperialistic conquest of Islamic Jihad and subjugation of all people to Muhammad's followers.
http://www.bing.com/search?q=80%25+of+U.S.+mosques&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=80%25+of+u.s.+mosques&sc=1-19&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=58AA69EDEA694F0C89CA2327739FDD0D

I wonder if our Christian brothers and sisters in the Bahamas can love those Muslim could-become-brethren-in-Christ-Jesus enough, to help them overcome THE false prophet Muhammad?
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/

Or are their church institutions like so many in the U.S. that are more preoccupied with raising money, or engaging in the interfaith pluralism of this prophesied "falling away", than bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost.
http://www.christianeschatology.com/falling_away_apostasy.htm#religious_pluralism

What about our individual brothers and sisters in those institutions? If their church has failed in the effort, do they love their Muslim neighbors enough to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to those poor sorely deluded souls, that must deny the whole subject of the Gospel and reject the shed blood of the Messiah, as articles of their faith in THE false prophet Muhammad alone?
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/

This can even be done in person, on line or even anonymously online by using an inexpensive proxy service, or by simply printing out some free tracts and leaving them around on shelves of stores and other places that the members of that mosque frequent and may discover them.
http://www.islamandthetruth.com/free_tracts.htm#tract_m1

It might help to first take a fresh look at how Muhammad may well be THE false prophet and Islam the kingdom "beast" prophesied the book of Revelation, through the traditional approach to Bible prophecy:
http://www.beholdthebeast.com/the_beast.htm

It's also important to note that there is not a shred of historical or archaeological evidence that suggests that Mecca ever existed before the 4th century AD. This means that everything they have been taught about Abraham having anything to do with Islam is nothing more than pure fiction, that was all created and put to the pen in the 7th to 10th centuries AD, without reference to any actual historical record from before the 5th century AD.
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=5091.0

Let alone that Islamic "tradition" is an unhistorical, geographical and demographic impossibility:
http://www.historyofmecca.com/geography_mecca_islam.htm

Just look at the preposterous nature of what they are expected to believe:
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=5091.0

If the church sits idly by and fails in its mission to bring the Gospel to those sorely deceived Muslims, generations that follow could reap the consequences. There is no question that Muhammad's followers have already set out to deceive Bahamian citizens, into ultimately rejecting God's prophets and witnesses as revealed in the 1600 year record of Yahweh to mankind, whose people have followed Him through two covenants for 3500 years - to follow Muhammad alone through his stand-alone heavily abrogated, 23-year, 7th century, counter-gospel, antichrist record. Just as detailed on the BahamasLocal website:

"In conclusion, Islam in Nassau is growing with a strong foundation for increasing the Dawa work in the area. Muslims in The Bahamas are still being ignored or marginalized in many ways however primarily because they are still a very small minority (less than 1% of the total population). They could always use some help and attention from US and other Muslims in order to energize their work. The entire area is conducive to Dawa work due to high literacy, a good command of the English language and a respect for people from other countries and religious backgrounds."

"Da‘wah (also transliterated daawa(h); Arabic: دعوة‎‎ "invitation") means the proselytizing or preaching of Islam."

The author doesn't seem to realize that literacy and good critical thinking skills - and particularly the Gospel of Jesus Christ - are the very things that kill Islam, the opposite of Muhammad's handful of original followers. That's why Muslims have to ban the Gospel and institute laws to regulate speech in Islamic countries. No surprise that Islamic countries have such low literacy rates.

If Bahamians don't bring those so sorely deceived followers of Muhammad the Gospel, then one day their children's children of a formerly Christian society, would be rejecting the Gospel of Jesus Christ to join Muhammad's followers in prostrating themselves toward the Quraish pagan's black stone idol in Mecca Saudi Arabia, while praying in the "vain repetitions of the heathen" (as scripture refers to Islam's "salat'), in the names of the Arabian pagan's deity "Allah" and his "messenger" Muhammad.
http://www.petewaldo.com/hajj_umrah.htm#index


Just as happened in the formerly Christian lands of the Middle East, where Islam spread the same way it is today, through imperialistic conquest and subjugation of the vanquished, followed by dhimmitude that makes it horrific for non-Muslims to live in Muslim controlled areas without converting:
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/islamic_slavery_dhimmitude.htm#dhimmitude_in_practice

WAKE UP from your slumber Bahamian Christians!
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/muhammad_islam_in_bible_prophecy.htm



Next a map of those Christian lands a little over 100 years later, through the power of the sword:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y



And today the prophet John's whole "world" is virtually 100% Islamic, except for that tiny little strip of land of Israel (shown below in light blue), where the Israeli Jewish State protects the freedom, liberty and right to self-determination of all Israeli citizens.



Could the mark of the "beast" be a fulfilled prophecy through an ethnographic view of the prophet John's whole "world"?
http://www.christianeschatology.com/historicism.htm#mark_of_the_beast

New Testament Greek Definition:

As further detailed on the Nassau mosque's website:
http://jamaa-ahlussunnah-bahamas.com/history.html

"Da'wah Efforts

The growth and development of our community is directly related to the amount and effort of Da’wah that we carry out. We cannot grow in numbers or develop Islamic characteristics without inviting people to Islam consistently. Da’wah must be based on correct knowledge of Qur’an and the Sunnah. The Muslim community in the Bahamas though a relatively small community, has been quite active and has seen a steady growth of its membership over the years, mainly due to people embracing the religion of Islam.

Da’wah is carried out not only in the capital city of Nassau but also in the nation’s second city of Freeport.

The Da’wah approach has both scope and depth in the Bahamas. Our community is actively involved in the taking of the message to the people through various methods. There is “street Da’wah” where Brothers visit areas and talk to the people about Islam. The community has been actively involved in presenting the message on Radio talk shows as well as conducting discussion forums at the center and presenting historical exhibition on Islamic Culture."

The tracts at the following link can be folded into a convenient shirt pocket size, and kept handy to exchange with Muslims that are engaging Da'wah on the streets or interfaith dialogue. However this is serious business that only serious Christians should engage in, that are willing to live with the possible adverse consequences that could result, from standing up for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will  live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
http://www.islamandthetruth.com/free_tracts.htm

1Jo 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

In light of all of the prior content, should it come as a surprise that Muslims are taught that to confess that Jesus is the Son of God, or even to pray in Jesus' name, would be to commit the single most "heinous" and only unforgivable sin ("shirk") in Muhammad's specifically counter-gospel, antichrist, anti-religion?
http://www.islamandthetruth.com/shirk_unforgivable_sin.htm

It's obvious that the best way to truly love our Muslim friends and could-become-brethren, is to bring them the Gospel of Jesus Christ so they can come to know the love of the one true God through a relationship with Him, to help them overcome THE false prophet Muhammad.
http://www.muslimjourneytohope.com/watch.php

A discussion about the origins and veracity of Islamic so-called "tradition" that masquerades as 4500 years of pre-Muhammad history, should be able to help plant that first spark of cognitive dissonance, that could start them down the road toward overcoming Muhammad as well.

Displaying even more chutzpah, the infinitesimally small percentage of the Bahamian population that are Muslims, apparently see fit to stick their noses into interfering with Bahamian Common Law! This shouldn't be a surprise since the last thing orthodox Muslims desire to do, is assimilate into cultures that live under the principles of freedom, liberty and self-determination of Common Law, since it is the very antithesis of Islam and Islamic Sharia law.

Bahamian government officials may not even be aware that Muslims meddling in laws of free countries they migrate to, is just another facet of the imperialistic conquest of Islamic Jihad and ultimate goal of subjugating all Bahamians - all people - to Muhammad's followers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If5gXh7uVIo

From near the bottom of the Islamic page at this link:
http://jamaa-ahlussunnah-bahamas.com/history.html

"Social Issues and the Muslim Community

In mid February 1995, the Jamaat prepared a comprehensive document, outlining its assessment of the crime situation in the nation, and detailing its recommendations for dealing with the current situation. This document, "Recommendations for Crime and Punishment in the Bahamian Society"(Recommendations for Crime and Punishment in the Bahamian Society 1,)   (Recommendations for Crime and Punishment in the Bahamian Society 2) was presented to the government, the press and other relevant agencies. As a result, the community has been invited by the media and other civic organizations to participate in many forums dealing with the issue of crime and punishment and other social issues. The document was well received by the Government and the Bahamian Society, and the Government is already implementing a number of its recommendations."

At a quick glance it looks like a back door beginning toward paving the way for sharia style "social" laws - which would eventually include outlawing speech that "insults" Muhammad or Muslims. Did they bother to mention that part of what Islamic countries consider crime, that is punishable by death, is speech that is unflattering toward Islam?

It really begins openly sharia in nature (let alone actually headlining with "In the name of Allah (God). The Beneficent. The Merciful"):

Then it begins with an insulting critique of what a bad job the Bahamian people have been doing of running their country:

"The Bahamian society today is in a state of social crisis.
There is a breakdown of family life, increased teenage pregnancy,
an escalation of crime and violence and a total disregard for
morality, law and order. The society is comprised of many different
. communities, races and social strata and whatever happens within
the society, eventually affects all. Responsibility and concern for
its maintenance, then, must be borne by all its members, and any
individual, group, organization or community who does not feel or
show any sense of interest or concern for the maintenance of the
society does not deserve to reap the benefits of being a part of
it."

While they seem to want to denigrate Bahamians and their government as being incompetent and immoral, just look at the immorality of what Muslims have done to human rights in so many Islamic nation States around the world. The death penalty by state statute for leaving Islam:
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/death_penalty_apostasy.htm
Or even speaking unflatteringly about Muhammad or Islam:
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/blasphemy_laws.htm

Just look at how absolutely insane, the exercise of free speech by others, can make them become:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0sRmpvdIIk

Toss in the death penalty for homosexuality, death penalty for atheism and the death penalty by stoning for adultery.



Islam is the very antitheses of freedom of religion, liberty and the right to self-determination, and here they are lecturing Bahamians on how to run the Common Law country of the Bahamas!!!

Here is how Islam takes over as the Muslim population of a country grows. What these Bahamian Muslims are doing is right from the Islamic playbook for a small minority Muslim population:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3X5hIFXYU
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=3133.0

http://www.beholdthebeast.com/the_beast.htm#islamic_invasion
The following excerpt is from "Who is this Allah" by G.J.O. Moshay.  A Nigerian victim of Islam who has seen first hand how Islam works:

""Oh you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as 'Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers etc.), they are but 'Auliya' to one another.  And if any amongst you takes them as 'Auliya' then surely he is one of them.  Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust)" (Surah 5:51 Al Hilali, Verse 54, Yusuf Ali).

In other words, any Muslim who becomes a Christian or even befriends a Christian leaves the leadership and control of Allah.

So, all Islamic leaders who come to British and American Church leaders for inter-faith co-operation are either defying the instructions of Allah or they have a hidden agenda.  The Islam of the 7th century AD is the same today, probably under new guises as the situation demands.  It is the same tactic of "No compulsion in religion" that Mohammed first adapted to Christians and Jews, that Muslims are using in the Western world today.  Migrate to Christian areas because they are tolerant. Pretend to be peaceful, friendly and hospitable; begin to clamor for religious, political and social rights and privileges that you will not allow to Christians in an Islamic country; breed fast there and settle down; there should be no Christian activities in your community; you may speak or write to discredit their religion, [as Muslims apparently did on the Islamic Center website in Freeport ] but they must not talk about Islam; begin to expand your community; Christian activities should be restricted in all the places you expand to; the moment you have enough military might against these 'disbelievers', these Trinitarian kaferis, go ahead and eliminate them or suppress them as much as you can, and be in control.  Where immediate invasion is not possible, that has always been the policy."


And of course this 91% Christian nation of the Bahamas only needs Islamic style "social" laws to advance "truth" and justice. Let alone "moral" "rules" perhaps like daughters only receiving half of the inheritance that sons do, forcing daughters into marrying men of the parents choice and Islamic law that requires 4 witnesses for a woman to bring an allegation of rape against a man.
A Norwegian woman was even put in jail in Dubai for reporting being raped to police. She was charged with having sex outside of marriage:
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=3734.msg15328#msg15328

The web page goes on:

"The Muslim community in the Bahàmas, represented by Jamaat-ul-
Islaam, is committed to the social development, promotion and
proqress of our Bahamian society. We believe that only by promoting
high ideals and moral principles can our society hope to rid itself
of the morass of social decay and crime."

Does this tacitly suggest a Sharia manual to anyone else?

"Our aim is to:-
1) Promote truth, honesty and justice both in personal and
public life.
2) Encourage excellence in education, social development and
awareness of self.
3) To peacefully agitate for the adoption and establishment of
strong rules
, laws and principles geared towards the
maintenance, protection and defense of a morally strong
society."

The problem is that "truth" is dictated by government in Islamic countries. Couldn't "strong rules" have been written by the Saudis? In the west we live by laws that protect our God-given rights. Such as our God-given right to free speech. Would the Bahamian Muslims be angling for the government as the eventual enforcer of "rules" and arbiter of and "truth" - with Muslim's guidance of course as to what truth is - like in Islamic countries where they destroy truth to advance the falsehoods of Islam?
Here's a "peaceful" type Islamic "agitation" for strong "strong rules" in one of the countries that happens to have a little higher Muslim population than the Bahamas - like England in this example:



As you can see from this image search the above isn't an isolated example:
http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=behead+those+who+insult+islam&id=9A03F84B325B1964B660784F9497EDF084BC1F7B&FORM=IQFRBA

So the aim of the Bahamian Muslims is to "promote truth"? At least 9 Islamic nation states provide the death penalty by State statute for folks that speak the truth.
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/blasphemy_laws.htm

Like this Christian mother of 5 who has been sentenced to death and sits on death row in Pakistan, for even an empty, hollow and false accusation of "blasphemy", likely lied about by her abusive co-workers:
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/blasphemy_laws.htm#global_speech_regulation

Let alone that 53 - primarily Islamic nations - ban or restrict the Gospel and/or Christian materials (the balance of the nations that ban the Gospel are communist countries, since neither doctrine can stand the light of truth.)
http://www.persecution.com/public/restrictednations.aspx?clickfrom=bWFpbl9tZW51

Here are links to the "help" this mosque is offering the Bahamian Government.

Typical of Islamic dissimulation or "taqiyyah" (that is, lying in the way of "Allah"), in the "Early History" section of that website they go on about slavery, while leaving out the most important part of the picture. Which is that African slaves were gathered, sold and loaded onto ships by Muslims that ran the Islamic slave trade.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9D7cN4OvGA

Let alone that African blacks were captured and pressed into sexual and other slavery well into the 20th century. Indeed the practice of capturing Africans (and others) and pressing them into slavery, wasn't "officially" abolished in Saudi Arabia and Yemen until 1962, UAE 1963, and Oman not until 1970, but only in response to outside pressure.

The practice of capturing and enslaving Africans (and others), continues around much of the Islamic world today, because slavery will always be absolutely Islamic and will continue to be so until the day that the counter-gospel antichrist anti-religion of Islam ceases to exist.

http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/islamic_slavery_dhimmitude.htm#islamic_practice_of_slavery

Like the Yezidi women and girls that were captured and sexually enslaved by The Islamic State:
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/the_islamic_state.htm#sex_slaves

If the Yezidi girl in the photo at the above link, looks a little young for sexual enslavement, it's important to note that Muhammad married a girl at 6 years old and consummated the marriage when she was 9 years old and Muhammad was about 53.
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=769.0



The video at this link is very informative regarding the history of Islamic slavery and number of Africans that died as a result of Islamic slavery. Let alone their families that were left behind and died in the wake of being left with no provider for their family.

Let's explore their stance on terrorism as explained on the page at this link:
http://jamaa-ahlussunnah-bahamas.com/stance-on-terrorism.html

Quote
Our Stance on Terrorism

We reject terrorism because it is against the tenets of Islam.

How can Muhammad's followers "reject terrorism" as not being one of the "tenets of Islam", when Muhammad's alter-ego "Allah" was one of the most consummate and conveniently self-admitted terrorists in the history of mankind?

Surah 8:12 I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them 
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/jihad_islamic_terrorism.htm#terror

The fact is Muhammad's followers can't reject terrorism as being unIslamic because that would go against not only Islam's books but 1400 years of Islamic history as well.
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=4941.0

Surah 33:26 "Allah took down the People of the Scripture Book. He cast terror into their hearts. Some you slew, and some you made prisoners. And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, giving you a land which you had not traversed before. And Allah has power over all things."

Quote
Whether the victims of terrorism are Muslims or non-Muslims, whether it is committed by individuals, a body or a government, all of these acts of violence run counter to Islam, the religion of peace.

Sure, that must be why Islam has a 1400 year record of terroristic slaughter, rape, subjugation and slavery of imperialistic conquest.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y

And all those Islamic nation States in the Middle East cradle of Islam, that kill their own citizens by State statute for leaving Islam or even speaking in an unflattering manner about it must have gotten it all wrong, while a guy from Nassau got it right!
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/blasphemy_laws.htm#death_penalty_blasphemy

Just like we're supposed to believe that the most prestigious Islamic University in the world, that churns out the Imams that preach violence against non-Muslims, got it all wrong as well.
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=5087.msg19437#msg19437

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=imam+kill+jews

Quote
The issue of terrorism cannot be addressed by another act of terrorism, resulting in the displacement and killing of innocent people.

But then some Muslims conveniently contend that no non-Muslim is innocent. They contend that since we kafirs reject Muhammad's alter-ego "Allah" as our God, and particularly reject Muhammad as a "messenger" from our God Yahweh since Muhammad was as opposite to Jesus Christ as the Quran is to the Gospel, we are not considered innocent from an Islamic perspective.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hukhhN2aWRA

Yet if Muhammad was a true prophet.....

Surah 4:157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus.....but they killed him not, nor crucified him.....for of a surety they killed him not:-
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/

.....then Jesus Christ would be a false prophet for prophesying His own crucifixion, death and resurrection from the dead:

Matthew 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise again.
http://www.islamandthetruth.com/the_lamb_slain.htm#crucifixion_fulfilled

One must choose between all of the prophets and witnesses as revealed in the Yahweh's 1600 year record to mankind, whose people have followed Him through two covenants for 3500 years, or Muhammad alone through his stand-alone, heavily abrogated, 23-year, counter-gospel, antichrist, 7th century record.
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/jesus_or_muhammad.htm

Quote
Shaykh Ibn Bazz, the Muftee of Saudi Arabia,.......

The guy whose "charitable" work included financing the Taliban in Afghanistan. A reprobate band of terrorists that didn't even allow girls to be schooled.
And you wonder why Islamic style "charity" gets a bad rap?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abd_al-Aziz_ibn_Baz#Activism

Quote
...... said regarding a group called Jamaa’at ul-Jihaad that is involved in terrorism and suicide bombings, “…they are not to be co-operated with, nor are they to be given salutations. Rather, they are to be cut off from, and the people are to be warned against their evil. Since they are a fitnah(tribulation/trial) and are harmful to the Muslims, and they are the brothers of the Devils (Shayateen)”Shaykh Ibn Bazz, the Muftee of Saudi Arabia

Couldn't find anything on a group by that name but most likely they were critical of the Saudi government. Or it was a case of simple Islamic tribal competition, like the mutual murder between Sunni and Shiite Muslims (though mostly Sunni murder of Shiites).

But the amazing thing is that Muslims even in Nassau Bahamas, are so blind to terror, that their site would quote Saudi Wahabis in defense of Islam, which makes me wonder if the Saudis didn't finance the mosque in Nassau, or perhaps even operate it. Indeed if they did participate in building it, in time they will show up to collect their debt by radicalizing it, just as they have in so many that they financed in the U.S.. If the Nassau mosque has taken any Saudi money, they own you.
http://www.bing.com/search?q=saudis+radicalize+U.S.+mosques&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=saudis+radicalize+&sc=0-18&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=AE7AD17150A1465E83C5EF6D9224ACD1

And talk about the ultimate in terrorism! The fact of the matter is that Saudi Arabia, like so many other Islamic nation States, has State statutes on the books that provide the death penalty for any of their citizens, that find the love of the one true God through a relationship with Jesus Christ and leave Islam. Same penalty applies to any Muslims that simply leave Islam and don't recant from their decision. This is of course, the only way Islam survived for 1400 years, let alone beyond the 7th century at all. Just like the Mafia, Islam imposes the ultimate exit penalty:
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/death_penalty_apostasy.htm

Saudi Arabia, like so many other Islamic nation States, also has State statutes that provide the death penalty for speaking in a manner about Muhammad or Islam with which their religious police take issue, under so called "blasphemy" laws.
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/blasphemy_laws.htm

Yet the Scriptures of the one true God themselves, label Muhammad and his 1.5 billion followers, as being antichrists:

Quran Surah 19:88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

1 John 2:22 ..... He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.....

Yet apparently even Bahamian Muslims are so blind to terrorism, they are unable to recognize that the threat of death for leaving Islam, amounts to Saudi Arabia terrorizing its own citizens. That virtually all Islamic countries terrorize their own Muslim citizens through the threat of punishment for "apostasy". Just as Muslim parents do their own children - even in the west.

Quote
It is imperative to draw a line between resistance to aggression and terrorism.

As just illustrated, Islam IS terrorism. Muhammad was a self-admitted terrorist.

Quote
The resistance on the part of the Muslims in Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya and other places to liberate their land, defend their honor as well as property, and achieve their legitimate rights cannot be construed as terrorism. Rather, it is the responsibility of the international community to help a just struggle in the realization of its goal.

The entirety of those lands listed were 100% satanically gained theft of the property of others through 1400 years of imperialistic conquest of Islamic Jihad.

Beginning with the slaughter and subjugation of the entirety of the Arabian Peninsula during Muhammad's lifetime and going on to conquer THE Holy Land and nearly the whole "known world" all the way up into France and Austria, during the Islamic First Jihad. Purely imperialistic conquest, that this Islamic web page attempts to characterize as "resistance" and "defense" of their lands!

Interesting video on the "beaten dog" psychology of the West, that resulted from those 1400 years of imperialistic slaughter of Islamic conquest:

Do any Bahamian Christians reading this need a further demonstration as to what Nassau Muslims are all about than those words written on their website?

So the West is responsible for the Islamic terrorist attack on the WTC, and not the poor Islamic terrorists who have committed tens of thousands of deadly Islamic terror attacks around the world, just since 9-11. It just couldn't be the "religion" of terror that is responsible, could it?

There was no such thing as a "Muslim world" or even a Muslim, or prior to THE false prophet Muhammad's invention of the murderous political machine of Islam in the 7th century AD.
http://www.beholdthebeast.com/muhammad.htm

Nor is there is a shred of historical or archaeological evidence that suggests that Mecca (that all Muslims prostrate toward in prayer 5 times a day) ever even existed prior to about the 4th century AD when pagan migrants from Yemen initially settled the area. If any Muslims doubt that, I encourage you to search for some such evidence, or ask your Imam to direct you to some:

........ unstinted support to the Israeli occupation of Palestine,.......

There is no such place as "Palestine" and no such people as "Palestinians". The name was an invention of 2nd century pagan Roman emperor Hadrian in his effort to insult the Jews he had vanquished and erase the name God gave to the land of Israel forever.
Satan uses the term "Palestine" today, to obscure the identities of the parties that are actually in conflict in Israel.
The conflict is the imperialistic conquest of Islamic Jihad, with Israel being just another front.
The conflict is Muslims VS non-Muslims
The conflict is Muslims VS Israeli Jews, Christians, and other non-Muslim Arabs.
The conflict is the totalitarian slavery and subjugation of Islam VS the freedom, liberty and right to self-determination of Israel's democracy.
The conflict is Muslims that are stuck in the 7th century VS the civilized world
http://historyofzionism.com/palestine_palestinians.htm#the_conflict

It is Muslims that stole the land that God gave His people - the "People of the book" - Jews and Christians.
The one true God gave title to the land of Israel to the seed of Isaac with whom Yahweh declared His covenants, as an everlasting possession through an everlasting covenant.

Christians receive our rights to that land through inheritance when we are born again.
https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/gal/4/22/s_1095022

Since it was Muslims that stole the land God gave His people, from His people, during the unjust imperialistic conquest of the Islamic First Jihad, it is Muslims that are the actual "occupiers" of Jewish and Christian lands, in any and every part of Israel that they inhabit.
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/jihad_islamic_terrorism.htm#islamic_first_jihad

Israel is the only country in the Middle East that shares our Western values and protects their citizen's rights to religious freedom, liberty and self-determination, where Muslims also enjoy more freedom than Muslims do in any Islam controlled country on earth. Yet Muslims want to turn Israel's democracy into just another Middle East, sharia law ruled, antichrist, totalitarian, Islamic slave state.

But there is certainly no shortage of anti-Zionism in the world today, which includes a near unanimity of Muslims, as well as Nazis, skinheads, white supremacists, the former Soviet communists, Louis Farrakan and the "Nation of Islam", George Soros and his Center for American Progress and Jew-hating anti-Semites of all stripes.

.....distortion of Islamic teachings, ......

Western Muslims often try to make such feeble claims, in spite of the clarity of their books and what Middle East Imams actually say, and what their most prestigious Universities teach. They try to change laws in the west to limit free speech, so that effectively whatever any Muslim claims on any given day should be considered true, so that criticism can be ruled as an insult to them and Islam which would be punishable under speech regulations.

Anyone tire of hearing the preposterously oxymoronic term "islamophobia", shouted in efforts to end discussion, any time someone points out the truth of the evils of the Islamic religion?
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/islamophobia_or_christian_love.htm

Sahih Muslim B41, #6981 Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You will fight against the jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me); kill him. (also #6983 #6984 #6985)
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/islam_and_jews.htm

Not distortion but simply quoting it and being honest about evil Islamic teachings, just as the Imams and Muftis in the Middle East cradle of Islam teach straight up, without feeling the need to engage in the lies and dissimulation of Western Islamic taqiyyah. Here's a popular Islamic Mufti, Egyptian TV evangelist, on "Islamic teachings" in regard to Jews:

....... support for aggressive forces and use of international organizations against Muslims among other things.

Not "against Muslims" as much as in defense of civilized society - of civilization itself - from Islamic conquest and terrorism, and ultimate subjugation to a specifically counter-Gospel, antichrist, anti-religion, of recycled Arabian pagan rituals.

CNS reports: "Sunni Muslim terrorists committed “about 70 percent” of the 12,533 terrorist murders in the world last year, according to a report by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC)."
That's for the year 2011, and that percentage doesn't even include Shiite Muslim terrorist murders.
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/jihad_islamic_terrorism.htm#sunni_terrorists

Thus it should be obvious to all non-Muslims, that the world would be largely at peace today, if the followers of Muhammad had not been commanded to "fight and slay" non-Muslims, in the "cause" of "Allah" as is  "binding" on them "in the Quran".
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/jihad_islamic_terrorism.htm#terror

Though it is a shame that Western efforts aren't more directed to defending and rescuing Christians from Muhammad's followers:
From the Hoover Institute: "Few people realize that we are today living through the largest persecution of Christians in history, worse even than the famous attacks under ancient Roman emperors like Diocletian and Nero. Estimates of the numbers of Christians under assault range from 100-200 million."
"And most of this persecution is taking place at the hands of Muslims. Of the top fifty countries persecuting Christians, forty-two have either a Muslim majority or have sizable Muslim populations."

We totally reject the version of the official authorities and the media in the US as well as other countries labeling some businessmen as supporters of terrorism. It underlines the importance of strengthening economic co-operation between Muslim and other countries to protect the interests of Muslim investors, their assets and trade establishments.

I'll presume "undermines" was meant. It likely isn't "labeling" that undermines economic co-operation as much as Islam itself and Muhammad's doctrine that essentially makes contracts (vows or oaths) between a Muslim and a Kafir/infidel/non-Muslim as not being binding ............ on the Muslim:

"If you ever take an oath to do something and later on you find that something else is better, then you should expiate your oath and do what is better."  Sahih Bukhari 9:89:260

The Muslims in the West should firmly adhere to their religion.

The ones that are fighting and terrorizing non-Muslims, just as Muhammad did and commanded his followers to do, are obviously the ones that are adhering to their religion. I just don't see how they don't understand they are being driven by Satan (except for being blinded by the spirit of antichrist).

Surah 9.29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. 30 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/jihad_islamic_terrorism.htm#fight_jews_christians

However true Muslims in the Middle East cradle of Islam, view Western Muslims that offer unsupported words like those offered here, as "hypocrites" for not engaging in Islamic Jihad:

Nineteen Iraqi Yazidi girls who refused to have sex with their Islamic State captors were placed in iron cages and burned alive in front of a crowd of hundreds in Mosul on Thursday, activists and witnesses say.
“The 19 girls were burned to death, while hundreds of people were watching,” a witness told ARA News. “Nobody could do anything to save them from the brutal punishment.”
ISIS took the girls – and thousands of others -- as sex slaves after overtaking a northern Iraqi region they called home in August 2014.
“They were punished for refusing to have sex with ISIS militants,” local activist Abdullah al-Malla told ARA News.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/06/06/19-yazidi-girls-burned-alive-for-refusing-to-have-sex-with-their-isis-captors.html

Narrated Ibn Muhairiz: I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Said Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl (i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Said said, "We went out with Allah's Apostle for the Ghazwa of Banu Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus."  Bukhari Book #59, Hadith #459

There's a reason that Muslim conquerors have turned Sweden into the rape capital of Europe and perhaps the world, where 1 in 4 women can expect to be raped:

Here's a page from the Freeport Bahamas Islamic Center where they reported to have about 30 believers.
http://web.archive.org/web/20100902045111/http://www.freeportbahamasislamiccenter.com/christianityandislam.html

I wonder why they took down their site? That link is an archived page, but unfortunately none of its links were archived. Can the members of this forum guess what the answers to these questions were?

Quote
CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM

Is Jesus (PBUH) God?
Was Jesus (PBUH) a Prophet?
Is Jesus (PBUH) the son of God?
Is Jesus (PBUH) 100% God and 100% Man?
Was Jesus' (PBUH) status raised slowly?
Did Jesus (PBUH) speak about Trinity?
Is our God a "Triune" God?
Is death due to Adam's (PBUH) sin?
Did Jesus (PBUH) die to free humanity from the sin of Adam?
What is the way to heaven according to Jesus (PBUH)?
Evil in Paul!
Is Paul the greatest apostle?
Who is telling the truth?
Fundamental questions!

Bible and Muhammad (Pbuh)
Do you follow Jesus (Pbuh)?
Paul altered the Message

For those that may be uninitiated, let's just look at one of those questions - "Is Jesus (PBUH) the son of God?" - from an Islamic perspective:

Surah 19:88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

From God's perspective:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/islam_is_antichrist.htm

1 John 2:22 ..... He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.....

Is it more likely that:
1. those Muslims all became Christians?
or
2. they removed the web page to hide their beliefs about Jesus from the Bahamians, so they could more effectively engage in a campaign of falsehoods and half-truths of dissimulation and taqiyyah?
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/global_war_against_truth.htm#dissimulation

Why might they have been afraid or ashamed of showing Bahamians what they truly believe, through their answers to those questions?

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
