AL ISLAM Forced Submission and the Reign of Terror (223 hits)

Consider the one million Armenian Christians who were slaughtered by Turkish Muslims at the beginning of the 20th century. The atrocities and kidnappings which are done for the cause of Islam are usually carried out by terrorist groups such as Al Jihad in Lebanon or Al Muhahideen in Iran. Al Muhahideen has provided the largest number of fanatic terrorist fighters in the war with Iraq. More than 1,000 people in the town of Diem in the Sudan were massacred in 1987 because of Islamic law.1 When the Sudan was officially declared an Islamic republic, dozens of pastors were killed and many churches were destroyed.2

The violent, bloody history of Islam was inaugurated by its founder, Mohammed, who would kill those that refused to be converted during his crusades. When Mohammed’s armies attacked cities, they offered their enemies three choices: 1) profess the Islam faith, 2) pay tribute, or 3) die by the sword. Many Christians died by the sword, but many others converted their churches into mosques.

Interestingly, the first victim of this practice was a poetess slain by one of his followers for a poem she composed that ridiculed him. Her verses on the folly of putting faith in a stranger who had slain so many of his own people spread throughout one of the main cities. The murderer was honored by Mohammed for his vile deed, and the poetess’s family was converted to Islam after their lives were threatened with death.

This warlike militancy stems from the concept of “Jihad,” or “Holy War.” Men are required to go to war in order to spread Islam or defend it against infidels. One who dies in Jihad is guaranteed eternal life. The Ayatollah Khomeini has preached this doctrine of Jihad by saying, “The purest joy in Islam is to kill, and be killed for Allah.”

According to the Koran: “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 or 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.”

The growing menace and threat to freedom in the 1990s is not communism, but rather Islam, “the religion of the sword,” which claims 85 million followers in the Middle East and Asia. Islam also claims approximately three million followers in the U.S. Nearly 612 mosques have been built in this country, and the Muslim Student Association wants to get on every major college campus.
