The Religious War

Steven Simpson pens an excellent piece in the American Thinker explaining the true nature of the impending world war. The "Arab-Israeli" conflict is an Islamic narrative, taqiyya (deception), to inflame the world and incite hatred against the Jews.

It is not an Arab-Israeli anything. It is Islam's 1,400-year-old and continuing war against the Jews. That is the objective reality. For more on this compelling history, read Bat Ye'or, the world's leading scholar on Islamic antisemitism.

Why Islam Will Never Accept the State of Israel American Thinker

It is a common belief that the "Arab-Israeli conflict" is a conflict of two peoples fighting over the same piece of land and is therefore one of nationalism. Rarely, if ever, do we hear or read of the religious component to this conflict.

However, if anything, the conflict is more of a "Muslim-Jewish" one than an "Arab-Israeli" one. In other words, the conflict is based on religion -- Islam vs. Judaism -- cloaked in Arab nationalism vs. Zionism. The fact of the matter is that in every Arab-Israeli war, from 1948 to the present, cries of "jihad," "Allahu Akbar," and the bloodcurdling scream of "Idbah al- Yahud" (slaughter the Jews) have resonated amongst even the most secular of Arab leaders, be it Nasser in the 1950s and 1960s or the supposedly "secular" PLO of the 1960s to the present. Indeed, the question must be asked: If this is really a conflict of different nationalisms and not Islamic supremacism, then why is it that virtually no non-Arab Muslim states have full (if any) relations with Israel?

There is a common Arabic slogan that is chanted in the Middle East: "Khaybar, Khaybar! Oh Jews, remember. The armies of Muhammad are returning!" It would be most interesting to know how many people have ever heard what -- or more precisely, where -- Khaybar is, and what the Arabs mean by such a slogan. A short history of the Jews of Arabia is needed in order to explain this, and why Islam remains so inflexible in its hostile attitude towards Jews and Israel.

Until the founder of Islam, Muhammad ibn Abdallah, proclaimed himself "Messenger of Allah" in the 7th century, Jews and Arabs lived together peacefully in the Arabian Peninsula. Indeed, the Jews -- and Judaism -- were respected to such an extent that an Arab king converted to Judaism in the 5th century. His name was Dhu Nuwas, and he ruled over the Himyar (present day Yemen) area of the Arabian Peninsula. In fact, it is most likely that the city of Medina (the second-holiest city in Islam) -- then called Yathrib -- was originally founded by Jews. In any event, at the time of Muhammad's "calling," three important Jewish tribes existed in Arabia: Banu Qurayza, Banu Nadir, and Banu Qaynuqa.

Muhammad was very keen on having the Jews accept him as a prophet to the extent that he charged his followers not to eat pig and to pray in the direction of Jerusalem. However, the Jews apparently were not very keen on Muhammad, his proclamation of himself as a prophet, or his poor knowledge of the Torah (Hebrew Bible). Numerous verbal altercations are recorded in the Qur'an and various Hadiths about these conflicts between the Jewish tribes and Muhammad.

In 628 A.D., Muhammad turned on the last Jewish tribe, the Qurayza, claiming that they were in league with Muhammad's Arab pagan enemies and had "betrayed" him. Muhammad and his army besieged the Qurayza, and after a siege of over three weeks, the Qurayza surrendered. While many Arabs pleaded with Muhammad to let the Qurayza leave unmolested, Muhammad had other plans. Unlike expelling the Qaynuqa and Nadir, Muhammad exterminated the Qurayza, with an estimated 600 to 900 Jewish men being beheaded in one day. The women and children were sold into slavery, and Muhammad took one of the widows, Rayhana, as a "concubine."

This is the delusion of our Age.
No one wants to believe the obvious fact we are in a Religious war.
Its to ghastly for politicians to contemplate.
It cause them to shiver in the night with the sweats.
So they invert reality, trying to stave off the obvious. Which does great harm in itself. A Religion alien to most of the West with no morality in the conventional sense. Willing to kill or hide behind innocents. One where lying is approved.
If you point this nuke out to people standing about, they either ignore you or you become Nemesis.
You see in the real World the One eyed King because of jealousy is murdered for his ability. While the boy who cried Wolf was absolved. You see he had charisma & was the kings son. The person who warned of the real Wolf than saved the village. Was torn apart as a scapegoat, to safe keep the Golden boy. The Kings son.
Thats the solid face of our existence. Just ask a truth teller like Pamela.

Great article-our intellectuals and political elites made the same mistake of misreading the threat soon after the 9/11 attack. Rather than listen to Osama bin Laden's words and realize that it was Islam which motivated them to wage jihad against us 'infidels,' they instead brushed Al Qaeda off as some fringe extremist group and left the ideology completely untouched-which was a monumental mistake.

The trouble is that people automatically give religion a free pass, they assume all forms of 'spirituality' are equal and inherently beneficial. Which is precisely why they didn't bother to sit down and seriously examine the religious texts of Islam. Obviously not all religions are the same and some are downright evil and dangerous. The mistake was to treat Islam as if it was as benign as Christianity or the other major peaceful religions, rather than recognize that it is a fascist totalitarian death cult and doesn't deserve the privilege of being treated on equal footing as their other religions.

If people studied Islam and its 1400 year history of brutal and bloody wars/jihads to conquer non-muslims, they'd quickly realize as Steve pointed out in the article, that we're in a global religious war being waged by Islam. Muslims of course want us to believe wherever there is a conflict involving muslims and non-muslims, its over land or 'ethnic squabbles,' having nothing to do with their religion-because obviously we'd intervene if we recognized its all a part of their grand jihad to take over the world.

This is why Islam has been so successful, because its been able to invade countries/cultures under the guise of being a peaceful religion (so people drop their guard) and like the AIDS virus, allowed to multiply within the host nation and begins to destroy it from within. By the time the population catches on, it might have grown and spread too quickly to stop.

We're witnessing this take place in Europe today and eventually it'll happen here also. Hopefully the free world will wake up in time. No one should ever underestimate Islam's ability to conquer us-the Nazis were a small minority of the population, but they were highly motivated and were able to seize power and of course it took a world war to stop them. We should never assume just because muslims are minority they can't do the same here.

Those people who choose to ignore history and turn a blind eye to reality (that Islam it at war with us), are doing it at their own peril and to the detriment of their civilization. They're only delaying the inevitable and when they finally catch on, the battle to defend freedom/democracy will be that much harder. It is far better to fight a war on your terms, rather than wait for the enemy to come and attack you at his time of choosing. This is where Bush was on the right track with his 'preemption' doctrine.

For the religious component to antisemitism,'Why the Jews' by Dennis Prager and Rabbi Joseph Telushkin,first published in 1983(I think)-I doubt has been surpassed;
a new edition came out a few years ago in response to Muslims unable to behave themselves in France.

Good comment, Fitna, but I think that it is a plan rather than a mistake that world leaders classify Islam as a religion instead of a pernicious form of governance. I think that progressive atheists believe that they can use Islam as a wedge to cause much civil strife that will provide a reason for a ban of all religion (defined as belief in God/Allah) in favor of science (defined as whatever the HELL "they" feel like making us do - cap & trade anyone?) as the one irrefutable worldwide religion.

But, what if the atheists cannot ultimately control Islam? Oh, but they can. The New World Order is going to RFID chip everyone (even Muslims), and once all of our food, money, medical care (a convenient excuse to require chipping), education, jobs, and transportation access is controlled by RFID chips, the Muslims will settle down or starve. And, being generally used to being manipulated, the Muslims will quickly adapt to being atheists - which will be a significant step up from where they are now.

It will be very bad for the citizens of Western democracies who have a GOLDEN window to fight the New World Order BEFORE they enslave us. But, even the smart people that I know are spiritually, morally, and intellectually lazy about the current crisis. So, in my opinion, I am a modern day Cassandra - and we are all doomed, doomed I say!

For those who would scoff at the idea of YOU (and everyone that you know) being forcibly RFID chipped by your government, read a copy of the non-fiction book Spychips by Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre. RFID chipping is now controlled by the BAR CODE people, and U.S. patents published by major manufacturers tell us exactly what the New World Order has planned for us. Unless we act NOW, the entire world will soon be SLAVES - one and all!

[Person of the Book]

Egghead: Do you honestly think that muslims will submit to being chipped, unless they are in control of the entire process?

Personally, I believe that the Left has created a monster which will soon eat them.

Honestly, I don't know how it will all play out. But I do know that there will be a world dictatorship (the Antichrist), and that it will make a false peace with Israel. It will try to destroy Israel, and then Israel's Messiah will come out of the clouds and save her.

Israel will be stunned to discover that their Messiah is Jesus Christ.

But I'm not sure where the Left and Islam will fit into that picture.

And by the way, Egghead, I support what Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre say. I get their email newsletter, but I haven't read their book.

Excellant article. People just do not want to believe that islam could be so hateful as to want to wipe out all Jews and Israel. A land dispute is the only thing they can comprehend. It will take the coming of the messiah for those who chose to keep their eyes closed.

[Egghead]

Person of the Book:

Yes, I honestly think that Muslims will submit to being chipped - probably without their knowledge - which is already happening as we speak - just outside of our bodies instead of inside. All sorts of consumer products and packaging that we buy are currently being chipped - with or without our knowledge. One example, our cell phones are chipped, and law enforcement uses those chips to locate victims of violent crimes like rape, kidnapping and murder.

RFID chip makers are refining the size of their technology to where chips the size of a grain of sand can be put into the inoculations - that federal health care will require you to get. As I understand it, there is even an executive order that permits the POLICE to enter your home and forcibly inoculate you in the case of a health care emergency.

Pair that, with the idea that Obama is planning to move the U.S. germ warfare lab from isolated Plum Island, New York, to mid-America Kansas, and you can see where the capacity for a future "accidental" or "terrorist" release of pathogens might necessitate a health care emergency where you must be inoculated - and simultaneously chipped without your knowledge.

I have often said that the WORST case scenario is that the Muslims will get control of RFID chips. However, my intuition tells me that Islam is an interim step toward worldwide slavery instituted by the New World Order.

I am a modern-day Cassandra. In mythology, "Cassandra was able to foresee the future for herself and those around her. But every attempt she made to warn people in advance of impending doom was ignored or, worse yet, labeled as an out right lie.

Ashamed of his daughter's supposed madness, the king pronounced her insane and jailed her by locking her inside her own chambers. Denying his daughter altogether, he told many people that she had died. Others, who already knew of her predicament simply didn't care since they, too, thought she was either crazy or a pathological liar."

We need to act NOW against the New World Order as much as Islam, for it is the New World Order that is empowering Muslims as its willing henchmen. Either way, the ultimate goal of both groups is that Westerners submit to slavery.

Google Bilderberger and read a few articles. It's a whole new world....

You are the worst of all scums on the face of the world -
The venom and poison you spew all the time - no snake can
do that - why are you so bitter and hateful - how can you
sleep with so much of filth in your mind and heart.

good people - Looks like you are not from the same gene pool
as we are - you are not 100% human - there is something lacking
in you. You are a mistake of nature....
