Toleration?
Like the setting sun, darkness follows in its footsteps.
In the article below I mention almost nothing about Islam’s teaching regarding, honor killing, female genital mutilation, child marriages, the Islamic hell where your skin is burned off, grown back, and burned off again, and where molten lead is poured down your throat for all of eternity. They are intolerant issues for another day in Islamaville.
To begin this commentary let me begin by briefly showing you the Verse that Islam so blatantly uses and lies about every time and everywhere it must defend itself against another violent act. The Imams quoted it a thousand times after 9-11 and many journalists and politicians who know nothing about the true driving force of Islam blindly swallowed it hook-line and sinker.
It is Surah 5:32,” For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.”
Sounds tolerant, but this verse tells us what Judaism and the Jews teach in their Talmud, not what Islam teaches. This verse is quoting from the Jewish Talmud. It is the following verse that tells us why Islam crashes airplanes into buildings. Here it is as plain as a knock on your front door at midnight. It is the next verse that the Quran says must be done to all non-believers.
“Surah 5:33. “The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed, crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter, theirs will be an awful doom;”
Surah 5:33 abrogates or cancels Surah 5:32. It also abrogates or cancels out Surah 2.256 which reads, “There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.” This is what Mohammed said when he was in Mecca and had no religious or political power; when he had to show tolerance to survive.
But when he marched victoriously into Medina with his armed soldiers and gained complete control, he became intolerant, and heads began to roll like cabbage. He did not tell his followers to go and start up businesses and start trading in the city square, build farms, start factories, He told them to start robbing the pagan (Quraish) caravans. Mohammed’s mindset which still prevails today is many Islamist’s minds to this day is that their hands have not been made for a poor man’s labor. That it is the duty of the non-believer to support the upkeep of the true believer. How convenient that 1/5th of all captured booty went to Mohammed.
The previous covenants and promise he made were as trustworthy as the lying lips of Judas (Surah 16:101). Let it be remembered as if it were carved in stone; in Islam, there are no absolutes, no Ten Commandments except one. In Islam, lying, betrayal, broken promise is all legit it they promote the expansion of their faith. The format of Islam in the West is to be tolerant because here they are weak. But in the East where all the levers of power are in their hands it is to be In-tolerant and remain Dominant. Ex Nihilo to human rights, civil rights, religious rights.
When reading the Quran, you must keep this central thought in your mind; it is the key to understanding and interpreting what it says; otherwise, it becomes a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces never quite fit together. There are three simple stages in its commands.
1.) Toleration, 2.) In-Toleration, 3.) Domination.
The Jews of Saudi Arabia in 624 rejected Mohammed as a prophet and so he turned violent on them, going from Toleration to In-Toleration to Domination (Subjugation). Once he gained absolute power politically and militarily in Mecca, he had eight-hundred Jews dig their own graves; their throats slit before they were pushed face down into them. Another instance is recorded after Mohammed gained absolute power in Medina; here he had all five Jewish tribes that had lived in Medina for generations killed outrightly. There was not a single Jew left alive in Medina because they rejected Mohammed as a prophet.
Mohammed said, “I have been made victorious with terror” Hear his boast again: “I have been sent with the sword between my hands to ensure that no one but Allah is worshipped, Allah who put my livelihood under the shadow of my spear and who inflicts humiliation and scorn on those who disobey my orders”. Mohammed became a caravan robber who became known as “The prophet with a sword.” (cf. Surah 2:190-193; 9: 29,73,123; 48:29; Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220; Bukhari 61, 2756).
Mohammed had a three-pronged method of conquering the Arabian Peninsula; and hopefully of one day of Dominating (subjugating) the world. This practice is still followed today. 1.) When in the minority ~ Tolerate. This what is going on in America right now where Islam is 1% of the population. 2.) When large enough ~ In-Tolerate. This is what is going on in Europe right now 3). And when in the majority ~ Dominate (Subjugate). This is the iron grip over the souls and minds of men right now in 49 Islamic countries where Islam is the majority religion.
Islam is a threat to the West because its last marching orders to it from Mohammed are to fight all unbelievers until they convert to Islam. (Surah 6:114; 9:29; 11:1: 12:1; 16:89: 27:1; 41:3; 57:9).
It is because of violent verse such as this that to this day 78% of Islamists in Pakistan support the death penalty for those who convert to another faith such as Christianity. Where it is dominant today it is intolerant. No new Church buildings allowed, no older churches allowed to be repaired without government permission, existing churches were often forced to feed the poor and allow them to sleep in their sanctuary, no loud singing in churches permitted, no converts allowed, no crosses allowed.
Do you see the pattern? (Keep the three stages in mind). One year after he became the dominant religion throughout Arabia, Mohammed abrogated all his previous promises of covenant and toleration and forced all Jews and Christians to convert or pay the Dhimmis tax and become second class citizens. No criticism allowed.
Suddenly Jews nor Christians were allowed to preach in public, build or repair places of worship, own land, allowed to marry an Islamist, ride a horse or camel, defend themselves when being attacked, carry a Bible or wear a cross in public. Mohammed whose most famous accolade is the “merciful one” granted no human rights to pagans and atheists at all. It was flee or be killed. To this day the Quran refers to all disbelievers as “the worst of all creatures,” meaning lower than dogs and pigs, rats, and insects. Yet despite all the above Islam claims to be a religion of peace and tolerance. (Surah 10:99; 98:6-7). The fact remains that there has never been a golden age of peace for those who lived under the iron fist Islam. There has never been a worldwide movement within Islam condemning Jihad or Isis There is rarely a day passes when some atrocity is not committed based on what is written in the Quran and allowed to be practiced by Mohammed himself. Away with toleration; as suddenly and as swiftly as an Arabian sword, abrogation and domination can suddenly became the new norm.
How ironic that to leave such a religion and be converted to Christianity is apostasy and worthy of the death penalty. In Islam there are 149 “Sword Verses,” but the most un-peaceful, violent, bloodiest of them all is Surah 9:5,” “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 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. (cf. Surah 4:52). Can you for a flashing moment imagine such words written on a tablet in heaven? There is not one word here about self-defense, as is the new liberal interpretation. It is all about going on the offensive. They teach submission by force and not by intellectual, verbal, voluntary persuasion. The orders are clear, that if you do not freely submit, we will force you to submit. The battle rages to this day.
Again, keep the outline in view, Stage One, Islam claims it does not compel or force its religion upon anyone. However, when it comes to Stage Three, they hoist a different flag. It is now Domination time. Surah 9:29 is a verse every non -Islamist must remember; “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Apostle, 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” To pull the flag a little bit higher up the mast the mast for all to see is Sahih Bukhari 1:8:387: “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” No respect for the human right to differ is respected here. It is bend, bow, or burn. (cf. Sahih Muslim 19: 4294). Does any free thinker want to take the first plane out of America and go live in Pakistan. Afghanistan, Indonesia… Have you noticed all the flights are going in the opposite direction? The mystery is why do such chain bound people not cast off their chains and why do they want others to wear that which is killing them.
These iron fisted verses line up perfectly with the prophecy the angel made in Genesis 16:12 regrading Ishmael and his descendants, “He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man’s hand against him.”
Islam means submission, complete submission externally and internally. This is what makes Islam a clashing of Eastern and Western civilizations. In the West we question everything and everybody, our political leaders our religious leaders. None are out of bounds. There are no red lines that we are forbidden to cross. Islam not so; it is a sacrilege to question the Mohammed and the Quran. This what keeps it in the Dark Ages
The Quran’s commanded to fight unbelievers until they say, “There is no God, but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger” has not been abrogated as it is stage three, the final stage in world conquest. After all Christians and Jews as the “worst of creatures.” (cf. Surah 4: 64-65; 9:29; Hadith 19:44). History shows that most Muslims understand Jihad to be a holy war against all other religions. For some in Islam it is “jihad of the heart” for others it is, “jihad of the sword,” for others, “jihad of the pen.” But stage three still hangs like a Damocles sword dangling from a single fragile thread waiting to fall upon the necks of all who will not submit to its suffocating rules. There is not a single day somewhere in the world where Jihad does not mercilessly shed blood.
There is an ancient Chines saying that “The faintest ink is better than the strongest memory.” The ancient ink of the past is a corona virus to the fake claims of Islam. In the West, the battlefield for Islam has changed. We are fighting on different hills. The swords of literary criticism, archaeology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, history, and geography are slowly decapitating the head from the hissing snake that hopefully will die a quick death. This is one funeral that millions would love to attend. Isaiah 19:20 -25 tell a little bit of the story but that is good news for another day.’
The problem with Islam is not that they do not believe in God (even the devil believes in God) But unlike the devil they believe in a false God. Ans all con trolling God. The character of Allah is a frightening one. Contrary to Islam Christianity is not all controlling.
“Chose you this day whom you will serve…” (Joshua 24:15)
If Charles Martel (The Hammer) had not defeated Islam at the Battle of Tours in 732, Europe would be Muslim and speak Arabic today and be in stage three of total dominance. Perish the frightening thought. How totally does this disagree with Surah 2:256 which says, “Let there be no compulsion in religion,” and totally agree with Surah 9:29 which says, “Fight those who do not believe in Allah…” Surah 5: 33 is not hyperbolic but as dark and red and violent as the spread of Islam for fourteen hundred years, “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;” One can only guess at the millions that died under the swords of Islam because they did not believe Mohammed’s message.
This source and spirit of this fanaticism that has flowed down to fanatical groups like Isis, Wahhabis, the Muslim Brotherhood, Mujahideen and others can be found in the words of Mohammed himself who said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred” (cf. Sahih -al Bukhari 2797, 6922; Sunan Ibn Majah 2535; Al-Muwatta of Imam Malik 36.18.15) Millions have fulfilled this death wish. And it is this fear that has kept and keeps millions of people under Islamic rule from leaving it. It is because of this fear to leave Islam that missionaries had little success in Islamic countries and do so to this day. But in the West where Eastern demagoguery meets Western freedom to think for yourself, young Islamists are beginning to understand this clearly at last and take flight from the dark cave of Mohammed.
The Do-or-Die question that confronts Islam now in its history is, can it Re-interpret itself? Can Seventh century interpretation mutate itself into the Twentieth century interpretation? The answer is a clear No! The Quran’s two main boasts of a perfect book and a perfect example to follow are what is causing it to self-destruct. The Quran has been hardened into a cement that cannot be sculptured into a different image. Its ancient claim to fame to be eternal, unchangeable, sent down, perfect in every way is its Judas kiss, its Waterloo. These two claims are water that has gone over the falls that cannot be called back. Its boast to clarity, to be able to explain all things leaves it intellectually bankrupt in the glaring light of modernity. (cf. Surah 6:114; 15:89; 24:46: 27:1: 41:3; 57:9) The Quran must not be questioned but blindly obeyed and submitted to. That worked in the Eastern culture where to question meant death but not here in the West where to question it is in our DNA (cf. Surah 4:65; 33:36).
Jesus the last and greatest prophet said “Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the LORD” (New Living Translation, Romans 12:19).
To date and throughout Islamic history there has never been an officially organized coalition to stop one Islamic country from invading another non-Islamic country. This is Jihad. It is not the nature of Islam to do so as this is Jihad. It is not in their nature to cooperate with such political leaders as it is unlawful for anyone to rule over non-Islamists be it in Israel, Indonesia, or India… Thus, the constant bloodshed and unrest. Surah 2:191 reads, “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.” These are not the marching orders of a religion of peace and toleration (Cf. Surah 2:216; 9:29).
