CHAPTER 13
And he shall destroy
the mighty and the holy people,
and through his policy also
he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;
and by peace shall destroy many.
Daniel 8:24-25
With full permission of the author, M. Ali, all Koranic quotes and all
the information about Muhammad and Islam is directly quoted from
Islam Reviewed, 2nd American Edition (Fish House Publishing, Fort
Myers FL, 1999). M. Ali is a well educated former Moslem who is
now a Christian and an evangelist to Moslems.
IF we listen to the American media, President Bush and other
politicians, we hear that this isn't a religious war, that Islam is
peace, and even love. It is a big lie. From openly biased Islamic
professors in our universities, we also hear that the United States.
war on the terrorist groups in Afghanistan is unjustified. That's
another big lie - talking heads trying to lull the American people
asleep to the hidden danger that faces us. It isn't hijacked planes
or potential bio-chemical attacks that we need to worry about, but
fundamental Islam itself.
It is significant that President Bush didn.t name the terrorist
organizations in Israel and that Colin Powell, the US Secretary of
State, continually pressures Israel to implement a so-called .peace
process. with terrorist groups. The reason, of course, is to keep
the petroleum rich Islamic states from shutting off our oil supply.
A pragmatic policy, perhaps, but morally bankrupt.
136 The False Prophet
Yasser Arafat and his associates, the Hamas, the Islamic Jihad,
the PFLP and the Palestinian Authority are continually being
implicated in the every-day shootings and bombings taking place
in Israel - women and children being murdered by snipers.
Despite the public face Arafat shows to the West, his many
speeches in Arab states call for the complete destruction of Israel.
If you question the validity of that statement, just go to Arutz
Sheva,
http://www.israelnationalnews.com or read any other less
Arab biased newspaper.
The Iranian and Syrian sponsored Hizbollah (Party of Allah)
bombard northern Israel with rocket-propelled grenades and
artillery, and they continually set ambushes and booby traps for
Israeli soldiers. Philip Schaff, in writing on the history of the
Christian church, clearly states the Islamic mind-set:
"The Sword", says Muhammad "is the key of heaven and hell;
a drop of blood shed in the cause of Allah, a night spent in
arms, is of more avail than two months of fasting and prayer;
whoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven, and at the day of
judgment his limbs shall be supplied by the wings of angels
and cherubim." This was the secret of his success. Idolaters
had to choose between Islam, slavery and death; Jews and
Christians were allowed to purchase a limited toleration by the
payment of Jizya (humility tax), but were nonetheless kept in
degrading bondage ... The khalifs, Muhammad's successors
who like him united the priestly and kingly divinity, carried on
his conquests with the battle cry: "Before you is paradise,
behind you are death and hell." Inspired by the weakness of
the Byzantine empire and the internal distraction of the Greek
church, the wild sons of the desert who were content with the
plainest food, and disciplined in the school of war, hardship
and recklessness of life, subdued Palestine, Syria and Egypt,
embracing the classical soil of primitive Christianity.
Thousands of Christian churches in the patriarchal diocese of
Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria were ruthlessly destroyed
or converted into mosques. Twenty years after Muhammad's
death, the crescent ruled over a realm as large as the Roman
Empire.
The Big Lie 137
The command to fight for the cause of Allah is given in many
Suras of the Koran:
"Then fight in the cause of God and know that God heareth
and knoweth all things" (Sura 2:244).
The command to fight relentlessly is given in Sura 4:74. In Sura
8:65, Allah encouraged Muhammad to incite Moslems to fight.
Listen to Allah giving the Jihad order:
"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay
the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer
them and lie in wait (ambush) for them in every stratagem (of
war) but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and
practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for God
is oft-forgiving most merciful" (Sura 9:5).
"O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers ... " (Sura 9:123).
Those who are ignorant of the Koran and Islam are astonished
when they hear about Islam's slaughtering of Christians, but
Moslems are just doing what they think is right. Allah specifically
commands Moslems to fight against Christians and Jews until they
are reduced to a condition worse than slaves:
"Fight those who believe not in God [Allah] and his apostle
[Muhammad], nor acknowledge the religion of truth [even if
they are] of the people of the book [i.e. Jews and Christians],
until they pay jizya [humiliating tax] with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued [enslaved]" (Sura 9:29).
In obedience to Allah's call to fight, Muhammad spent a great
deal of his own time between the Hijra (flight) and his death
mapping out strategies for the purpose of spreading Islam,
personally getting involved in ambushes and other battles. Islamic
historians themselves confirm that Muhammad was present at
twenty six such armed conflicts and fought actively in nine
(Risalatu Abdullah & C., 47, CF. Ibn Hisham Vol. 3, P. 78).
Many try to explain away the high level of terrorism
perpetrated by various Islamic groups, but all recognize Jihad as
part of today.s reality. Enthusiastically employed as a means of
138 The False Prophet
propagating Islam during the dark ages, Jihad now embarrasses
many moderate Moslems. But despite the views of moderate
Islamic governments, if fundamentalism becomes the dominant
belief of their people, those governments will either agree to
fundamentalist demands or those governments will fall. The
ousting of the Shah of Iran is a good example.
Faithful Moslems have been drumming Islam's militant agenda
for decades, but the West didn.t think it needed to worry.1 Before
Israel even became a state, Ayatollah Khomeini was going into all
the Islamic colleges, theological seminaries and schools in Iran,
teaching them a five point agenda:
Stage 1: Iran must become a theocratic, fundamentalist Islamic
State.
Stage 2: Iraq must become a theocratic, fundamentalist Islamic
State.
Stage 3: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, have to become
fundamentalist, theocratic Islamic States.
Stage 4: Jerusalem must be retaken and the Jewish people
destroyed.
Stage 5: Conquest of the nations.
As recent history shows, Stage 1 has been accomplished and
there is no Moslem, fundamentalist or moderate, who does not
also believe in stages 4 and 5. That is so important, I must say it
again:
There is no Moslem, fundamentalist or moderate, who does
not also believe in stages 4 and 5.
Those five stages are bonds that
unite all Moslems, regardless of sect or geographic location. Let's
say it again, Islam's ambitions are:
(1) Annexation of Jerusalem and annihilation of the Jews
(2) Obliteration of Christianity
(3) Conquest of all nations.

2 In a 3/22/99 speech delivered in Egypt, Hillary Clinton, wife of the former
American president, declared that the United States would be more accepting of
Islam in the future. Total insanity! If fundamental Islam ever gains political control
in the United States, individual freedom and freedom of worship will be a thing of
the past, just as it is in most Islamic states today.
________________________________
The Big Lie 139
To most Moslems, the failure to achieve those objectives means
the failure of Islam and consequently, the failure of Allah - an
unimaginable blasphemy to them. Islam will never renounce its
claim to Jerusalem, neither will it relent in its effort to destroy the
Jews. In 1984, Ayatollah Khomeini declared to the entire world:
.In order to achieve the victory of Islam in the world, we need
to provoke repeated crises, restored value to the idea of death
and martyrdom. If Iran has to vanish, that is not important.
The important thing is to engulf the world in crises. Those who
are called to export the revolution will lose their unhealthy
desire for comfort and will attain the maturity needed to fulfill
their mission. "The road to Jerusalem goes through Kerbala."
(an Iraqi town)1
These are not the words of a naive, overwrought, emotional
fanatic with stone-age ideas, as the West mistakenly concludes.
Ayatollah Khomeini was one of the most politically astute
theological minds in the Islamic world. He was able to perfectly
express the mind of Allah and Islam, and though he has been long
dead, his manifesto lives on. One prays that United States political
thinkers will heed what is written here, but the government is
now so politically and morally compromised, that any departure
from a policy of appeasing Islam is most unlikely. Blindly
optimistic, the American bureaucracy totally ignores the Moslem
view of a treaty signed with infidels. In the Moslem mind, any
agreement made with an infidel is not binding.
If the Koran is to be accepted at face value, and Muhammad is
to be considered to be the model of correct Islamic behavior,
those so called "extremists" or "fundamentalists" are actually the
true Moslems. Moslems who are hungry for Christian blood are
really the ones who are obeying what the Koran says:
"Therefore when ye meet the unbelievers [in fight] smite at
their necks; at length, when ye have thoroughly subdued
them, bind a bond firmly [on them]" (Sura 47:4).

140 The False Prophet
The Koran abounds with that type of inflammatory Sura and
that is why all true Moslems wish unbelievers dead (especially
Christians and Jews). Islam has divided the world into two distinct
camps:
1. The Dar al-Salaam, i.e. the household of peace.
2. The Dar al-Harb, i.e. the household of war.
Everyone who is not a Moslem is in the Dar al-Harb. They are
regarded as infidels, the enemies of Allah, whose heads may be
chopped off at will. Barbaric? Yes indeed, but it's a reality today.
There are Christian churches hidden throughout Arabia and
beheading is exactly what happens to them if they are ever
caught. So let's take a closer look at the .peace-loving. founder of
Islam:
Muhammad was born in 570 AD in Mecca (correctly
pronounced Makka), a city northwest of Arabia. His father,
Abdullah (meaning servant of Allah) died before he was born. His
mother, Amia, died when he was six. He was raised, first by his
grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, and later by his uncle, Abdul Manaf,
also known as Abu Talib. He was of the Hashimite clan of Quraish
tribe. As a young boy he traveled with his uncle in merchant
caravans to Syria, and for some years after he made similar
journeys in the service of a wealthy widow.
At the age of forty-three, Muhammad went to the public square
around the Ka.aba stone to preach. He proclaimed that Allah was
one, unseen and all-powerful. He condemned the worship of other
gods beside Allah and warned of a coming day of judgment. In
thirteen years of peaceful preaching, he won about a hundred
followers. Persecution broke out and some of his followers fled to
Abyssinia (now Ethiopia, a Christian country).
The Negus of Abyssinia and his Christian subjects protected the
Moslems and lavished love on them. When the Meccan persecutors
demanded their repatriation, the Christians refused to hand them
over. The Moslems had earlier defended their faith in public
debate, confessing their belief in Christ's virgin birth, His miracles,
The Big Lie 141
and His ascension into heaven (the favorable passages about Jesus
in the Koran may be there for that reason).
But, Muhammad's accommodation with the Christians was
short-lived. After Islam became fully established, it revealed its
true colors as a rabid anti-Christian religion, and the blotting out
of Christianity from under the sun has been a major aim of Islam
ever since. In their quest to destroy Christianity, Moslems even
went as far as to forge a false "gospel," allegedly written by
Barnabas.1
Following in the footsteps of their prophet, Muhammad's
successors, the Khalifahs, launched a Jihad against Christendom
in Mesopotamia, Asia minor, central Asia, and in Egypt, killing
millions and forcing the rest to embrace Islam.2 Then they
attacked and occupied Jerusalem. As if all this wasn't enough, on
the very site where the magnificent temple of the God of Heaven
once stood, the Moslems chose to construct the Dome of the Rock
and their third most "holy" mosque, the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Why was
the Dome placed where it was, if not to desecrate the temple site
of the God of the Bible?
The Moslems undid most of what the early apostles had
achieved in the Middle East by invading Christian populated North
Africa, murdering many and forcing the rest to Islam at the point
of the sword. Even today it is a crime to preach Christ in most
Middle Eastern countries. As stated earlier, in Arabia, if a Saudi
national is found to be a Christian, he is beheaded.
The battle-hardened Islamic "missionaries" then swept over
Palestine, drove on to Persia, continued their drive into northwest
India, and settled finally on the southern steps of Russia. They
overran Spain and invaded France. Thank God for Charles Martel

Christian Byzantine (the Eastern Roman Empire).
