The "Religion of Peace"

Murder in Brussels

We're repeatedly told that Islam is a "religion of peace" that's been hijacked by a few radical wackos who have blemished Islam's impeccable image.

If that's true, then those wackos certainly have a way of getting around in the world. Recently, one of them showed up at a Jewish museum located in Brussels, Belgium and gunned down Emanuel Riba and his wife Miriam before he fled into a waiting car outside the museum. The shooter also killed a volunteer worker at the museum.

The Ribas left behind two teenager daughters in Tel Aviv, Israel, who had to bid farewell to their parents at a funeral ceremony.

While no one has yet been arrested for the murders or has emerged in the cyber-world to take credit for them, you can bet that it was an Islamist who pulled the trigger. While the embers of Nazism still smolder throughout Europe, that hatred pales in comparison to the satanic hatred that burns in the belly of Islamists.

While I've written extensively on the "Religion of Peace" and the violence embedded within its scriptures, I think some things concerning this religion need to be repeated.

First of all, Islam isn't a religion of peace and it never was. It's a violent religion that encourages its adherents to kill and maim unbelievers in the name of its god Allah. For example, the Koran contains 109 war verses such as this one: "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." (Sura 2:216)

Here's another example: "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward." (Sura 4:74) 

And there's more: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

(Sura 5:33)

  

Those are just three of the many verses contained in the Koran that mandate violence against unbelievers. Violence then, has been Islam's most effective recruiting tool since its inception in the 7th century A.D.

While Islam encourages hatred of its enemies and submission to Allah via the sword, it promotes a maniacal hatred toward the Jews. Islam teaches that a global Ummah (one world under Islam and the Imam Mahdi) cannot be realized until all the Jews have been removed from the earth. That's why Islamists venerate Adolf Hitler, even though he was an atheist and a detestable pagan.

In the Sahih Bukhari Hadith (Sayings of Muhammad) we read this: "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) 

And so, there will never be peace between Israel and the Islamic world. Islam considers the Jews reprobate and beyond redemption. And the existence of Israel in the world and particularly in the midst of Islamic nations is considered an insult to Allah.

Most people couldn't care less about Israel and certainly couldn't care less about the recent murders of Emanuel and Miriam Riba. In fact, there are a lot of folks--including professing Christians--who'd like to see Israel and even the Jewish people disappear from the face of the earth.

But remember this scripture quote from the Lord concerning those who hate the Jews and the nation of Israel: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." (Genesis 12:3)

You treacherous Christians might want to remember that scripture before you put on Palestinian Keffiyehs and go marching alongside those who call for the murder of Jews and the destruction of Israel.

And you might want to remember those 109 war verses in the Koran that unmask the ugly face of the "Religion of Peace."
