Why America Cannot Avoid the 'Battle for Islam'

As a Crisis Management strategist, I learned very quickly that the first step to winning a battle is to know as much about your enemy as possible. In the past, I have hired companies to gather information about the person, company or group who are leading the attack, for the reason of understanding the complete agenda of the perpetrators.

Only when I understood the motive of the attacking force, could I develop a strategy of protection and a battle plan. Going in to battle without knowing your opposition is like throwing tennis balls at person who is coming after you with a machete, and as much as the political elite want to keep their heads in the sand, the reality has not changed.

For the sake of the reality of who and what we are at war with and why, let me quote some scriptures from the Koran:

"Martyrdom is therefore the ONLY way for a Muslim to obtain forgiveness of sins" Surat Al Tawbah 9:111

"Jihad (fighting for Allaha's cause) is ordained for you" Surat Al-Baqarah 2:216

"Kill the Mushrikun (non-Muslims), wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush" Surat Al-Taubah 9:5

"they (non-Muslims) shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land" Surat Al Maidah 5:33

"And if you are killed or die in the Way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all that they amass" Surat Al Taubah 9:111

There are many more verses in the Koran that call for the killing and maiming of Christians, Jews and non-believers.

The Prophet Mohammad and the Koran says that any Muslim who is killed in battle against infidels will receive eternal life and total forgiveness of his sins. It is important to know that the Koran gives Muslims no assurance of forgiveness of their sins unless they martyr themselves by killing or being killed in battle against the infidels. The Koran states that Muslims will go to hell unless they are forgiven of their sins. The only way that the Koran provides for forgiveness of sins it to kill, maim or be killed in battle against Christians, Jews and non-believers.

You may say that moderate Muslims cannot possibly believe this. Really? Can you be sure about this when their very salvation hinges on killing us? I'm not making this up. You have the evidence in their Koran.

This is the mindset of the Jihadists. This is why mothers will kiss their sons and daughters goodbye, with glee, as their children strap explosives around their waists and blow themselves and other innocent people up. You see, martyrdom (murder) is the only way that Muslims can be assured that all of their sins are forgiven and that they will spend an eternity in a sexual paradise, at least for the men. They will also be able to drink rivers of wine (they cannot drink wine in their earthly lives) and have lovely young boys, as well as their many recycling virgins. Allah has to keep his promise that as a result of their killing or being killed by the infidels, they will be in paradise.

Have you ever wondered why it is that when a Muslim terrorist kills, he says, "Allah is Great"? The reason is they believe that Allah does the work of killing infidels through them. In other words, Allah uses their bodies to commit murder. This is why these fanatics have no guilt when they slay the innocent. They praise Allah for performing the murders.

There are over a billion Muslims in the world today. One of the reasons for the spread of Islam is that in their history, the innocents were taken by the sword. There were many religions in the Islam nations before Mohammad proclaimed that Islam should be the only religion on the earth. Mohammed did not offer any other option. Mohammad invaded Syria, Spain, Iran and other countries and took them by the sword for Allah in to the religion of Islam. If the people would not accept Islam, they would either be murdered, maimed by having one hand and one foot cut off on opposite sides, or they would have to pay taxes to Mohammed in order to live.

Another reason for the steady growth of Islam is due to polygamy. Mohammed said Muslim men could have up to four wives and also concubines. Four wives can produce many children. Since Muslim men are limited to four wives at the time, when a wife gets to old he can just pronounce "I divorce you" three times and he is divorced. This leaves him free to marry a younger woman and to have more children. He can divorce all four at one time and marry four new wives.

Mohammed was not limited by his own rule to just four wives. Mohammed had 14 wives plus concubines. When Mohammed was 53 years old he married a 6-year-old little girl and had sex with her when she was 9. This opened up the door for others to marry children and commit pedophilia. Even today, it is common practice for grown men to marry little child brides as young as 5 years old and to sexually molest and beat them.

I think it is interesting that the word, Islam, means submission. In the book, "Islam, Muhammad and the Koran, the author, Dr. Labib Mikhail states: "Today, we hear on radio and Television many Muslim clerics say that Islam means "peace". But the word Islam means "submission" and a Muslim is one who is in submission to Allah. Their goal, as stated in the Koran, is to bring the entire world in to submission to Allah and the Koran under a Muslim Caliph and to have a global Islamic empire. This is Islam today, the same Islam of yesterday. Americans, Jews and Christians should be aware of this."

Muslims are called to literally follow the Koran; therefore, officially, all Muslims are called to kill the infidels. It has been said that one of the Muslim strategies is to make friends with your enemies until you gain enough strength to take them over. It is a great public relations achievement to twist an extremely violent religion around to be perceived as a religion of peace.

As in many religions, many innocent people get caught up in to beliefs that have nothing to do with the religion that they are a part of. I would challenge anyone to go back through the history of their religion to see the truth about what their religion is based on. The Koran is a violent book. The Koran preaches murder, invasion and gives no free will to choose any other religion. If a Muslim exercises his free will to leave Islam, he has to do so under the real threat of death.

A true religion of God will not be based upon false prophets who make up religions engineered to suit their own needs, nor will it command us to murder others. Only a religion from Satan would command the killing of innocent people, the stoning of women and the molestation of innocent children.

I have several Muslim friends who I like and care for. I truly do not think they know their religion's history. However, if Mohammad were alive today, he would turn on them as he turned on so many of his own people who did not follow his commands.

We are not at war over oil, we were not at war over Iraq, we are not at war with Afghanistan, and we are not at war because of President Bush or Obama. We are in a war based on a spiritual battle of good and evil. Why do you think our enemies call their war a "Holy War"? Our enemies truly believe that anyone who rejects the Koran, Mohammad and Islam are subhuman and deserve to be murdered in cold blood.

I say to all Americans, please wake up to the truth, and personally, I'm really tired of the "PC" police in America, who do not encourage truthful dialogue about exactly what we, as Americans are facing. We are not a free nation if we are not allowed to identify evil and call it out for what it is.

We are fighting a real battle with an enemy who is committed to the commandment of Mohammad to kill us in the name of Allah. This type of fanaticism will not go away. If we called our soldiers home today, many people in Afghanistan would be slaughtered and the fanatics would claim victory in the name of Allah. This would fuel their fire for the sword even more strongly and they will not give up until they have taken over every country and free person for the sake of Islam, the Koran and Allah.

We cannot become complacent. The current Administration has been active in eliminating specific targets, like Osama bin Laden through the Navy Seals. Now America needs to move quickly to stop Iran's nuclear weapon programs because sanctions are unquestionably not working.

And shame on any US government official who would divide Israel by suggesting that Jerusalem should be given over to any Muslim nation!
