The Real Islam

"The last hour will not come until the Muslims fight against the Jews and the Muslims will kill them until the Jews hide themselves behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say Muslim; the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him."--Sahih Muslim 5203 (Hadith)

The infamous Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) was established by the Islamic world in 1964 for one purpose only; to destroy the nation of Israel and to drive the Jews out of the Middle East.

And so, the prevailing propaganda that the PLO has successfully sold across the planet for nearly a half century is that in 1948, the Jews successfully coerced the United Nations into unlawfully establishing the State of Israel on land that had legally belonged to an indigenous people called Palestinians for over 3,000 years. In other words, according to this canard, the Jews invented the Holocaust as an excuse to explain why they were driven out of Europe and then they used the U.N. to help them seize land that belonged to "Palestine."

That explains what the so-called "occupation" means when the Islamic world speaks disdainfully about Israel's existence. To the Islamic world, Israel has no right to exist and the Jews have no right to "occupy" land that never belonged to them. And yet anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of history understands just how fallacious that argument is. Before 1948, the only people who were recognized as "Palestinians" were the Jews. No Arab, Egyptian, Assyrian, Persian, Turk etc. wanted to be called a "Palestinian" because that moniker was just another name used to identify a reviled Jew.

Who are the "Palestinians"? They are a mixture of Arabs, Persians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Turks, Bedouins etc. who settled in that land over the span of 1,800 years after Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed Israel Syria Philistinia or Palestine in 130 A.D. when he crushed the Bar Kochba rebellion that sought Israel's independence from Rome. Furthermore, both the Bible's Old and New Testaments attest to the historical Jewish presence in Jerusalem for over 3,000 years, as does archeology. In fact, the New Testament's four gospels frequently mention Jesus Christ's presence in the ancient Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. That proves that the Jews have had an historical presence in that land for thousands of years.

Unfortunately, a dumbed-down world completely ignorant of history embraces the fallacy of Israeli "occupation." But lying is an integral part of Islam and it is used frequently when it serves Islam's purpose to deceive the world. Muslims claim that Islam encourages its adherents to lie as a means to achieve the ultimate end that seeks to convert the world to Islam and subject it to a global caliphate. Called taqiyya, lying has become the Islamic world's greatest weapon in reigniting global anti-Semitism and inciting the world against Israel.

While Muslims claim that Islam is merely a peaceful religion that just wants to return control of "Palestine" to the Palestinians, their real goal is to wipe all the Jews off of the face of the earth and force all Christians to either convert to Islam or be killed. Islam's hostility toward the Jews and Israel is a microcosm of its global plans to create a global Ummah or Islamic world government that would rule according to Shariah Law.

Islam is not a peaceful religion, nor has it ever been. The Koran contains numerous verses that encourage Muslims to commit to Jihad and fight against all infidels or unbelievers. Here are some examples: "And if you are slain in the way of Allah or you die, certainly forgiveness from Allah and mercy is better than what they (unbelievers) amass. (Sura 3:157) "And indeed if you die (in jihad) or are slain, certainly to Allah shall you be gathered together." (Sura 3:158) "O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people." (Sura 5:51)

Islam's greatest weapons are fear and ignorance. And the way to overcome fear and ignorance is by the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ that calls us not into a relationship with a religion and its mysterious god named Allah, but rather into a true relationship with God the Heavenly Father through Christ Himself who died for all sinners on Calvary's Cross. That brings true peace into our hearts rather than some artificial peace through a man-made religious system that is violent and evil at its core.
