What I want to know is why Europe seems to encourage Muslims to come and take over the continent. Their ancestors fought to keep the Mohammedans out of Europe, and suddenly contemporary Europeans lay down the welcome mat for Muslims to come and take over their continent. What is the reason for this change of heart?
Before I proceed, here is a little background history of Islam. In Mecca, in 570 AD, a man named Mohammad was born. Apparently, he grew up to work for a wealthy widow called Khadija; he traded for her, and that entailed going with a fleet of camels to several Middle Eastern towns. He later married her.
With money no longer an issue, he had time to explore religious matters. It is said that he would go to the hills around Mecca and contemplate Allah (Arabic for God).
During one of these visits to a cave, in 610 AD, he said that he heard the voice of the angel Gabriel urging him to write. He did not know how to write, so he got his friend, Abu Bakr, to write down what the voice of the angel told him.
Over the years, the channeled message was put together into a book, now called the Quran.
Mohammed’s own comments on what the message means are called the Hadith. The laws that were derived from the message of the Quran are called Sharia.
Mohammad began preaching the message he heard to Meccans, and some of the people apparently considered him psychotic because, in their world as is in our extant world, those who claim to hear voices spoken by those not visible to other people are said to be hallucinating.
Psychosis is characterized by hallucinations in one or more of the five senses, especially auditory and visual, and bizarre delusions (such as claiming to be the last prophet of God).
People actively attacked Mohammad for claiming that the voices told him that he was the last prophet of God, the seal of the prophets after Jesus Christ. They considered him a fraud and chased him out of town.
He ran to a neighboring town called Medina. This flight is called Hijra. In Medina, he had a better reception from the Jews and other merchants in the town.
Nevertheless, Mohammad was angry at being chased out by his own people and put together a militia and began attacking traders from his Mecca passing through Medina. He personally claimed to have slaughtered thousands of these itinerant traders on their way to Medina and other towns for trading.
The man is a unique prophet of God: he reveled in killing people and having sex with many women, including children as young as nine, Aisha.
Jesus did not kill anyone; Buddha did not kill anyone; Lao Tzu did not kill anyone; spiritual people are supposed to be bringers of peace to society, but Mohammad brought conflict and wars to humanity.
In 622 AD, he felt sufficiently militarily powerful and returned to Mecca. He used the sword to kill all those who opposed him and established his new religion, which he called Islam: total submission to Allah and to Mohammad, his prophet. Anyone who opposed Allah and Mohammad was killed.
Mohammad used the sword to convert Meccans to Islam. Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha used the power of persuasion to convert people to their religions.
Mohammad’s first wife, Khadija, was 54 and Mohammad was 25 when they got married. Apparently, she could not conceive and have children for him, so he married other women, including a nine-year-old girl called Aisha. Altogether, he had thirteen wives.
He limited the number of Wives that the male followers of his new religion could marry to four.
In 632 AD, at the age of sixty-two, Mohammad died. Upon his death, his chief assistant, Abu Bakr, took control of the new religion and was called the Caliph, the deputy to the last Prophet of God.
A division immediately arose in the Islamic movement; a segment of Mohammad’s followers said that only his son could succeed him. The schism led to two groups emerging in the movement: Sunni, those who accepted Abu Bakr’s leadership, and Shia, those who wanted Mohammad’s sons to take over the leadership of the violent religious cult.
“Muhammad’s recorded children — three sons (Qasim, Abdullah, and Ibrahim) and four daughters (Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, and Fatimah) — were all born to his first wife, Khadija bint Khuwaylid, except Ibrahim, who was born to Maria al Qibtiyya.” Wikipedia.
Given the new cult’s origin in violence, there was nothing religious or spiritual about it; it was a violent political ideology with which Mohammad and his followers wanted to conquer the world and subject all people to obedience to them. Muslims are on a jihad to conquer the world and convert all people to Islam. Many passages in the Quran make this injunction explicitly and abundantly clear.
People who say that Islam is a peaceful religion apparently have not read the Quran. The true Muslim who has read the Quran must kill to convert people to Islam, as Mohammed and Abu Bakr did.
As we speak, Muslims are engaged in ethnic cleansing in the Middle Belt part of Nigeria; they are literally killing Christians, chasing those they did not kill to run away, and Muslims take over their lands.
Abu Bakr led a militia that used the sword to convert his neighbors to Islam. He and his followers took over Jerusalem in 638 AD, Egypt in 642 AD, and swept through North Africa and got to what is now called Morocco in 708 AD. They crossed into the Iberian Peninsula and defeated the Christian forces there in 711 AD.
Thereafter, they swept into Southern France with the intention of taking over all of Europe. Charles Martel, the hammer of God, the leader of the Franks, fought and stopped the Muslim hordes at the Battle of Poitiers and chased them out of France.
It took over seven hundred years for the Spaniards to finally chase the Muslims out of Spain in 1492 AD.
In the East, the Muslims used force to defeat Mesopotamia (today’s Iraq), Syria, Persia (Iran), and India and Pakistan, and then defeated Central Asia, the home of the Turkish people. They got into China and conquered Western China before they were finally stopped by the Chinese.
Everywhere they went, they imposed Islam on the people. Thus, today Western China and Central Asia are still Muslims.
As the Islamic empire expanded, the leadership of Islam passed from Arabs to Persians and later to the Turks.
During the Christian Crusades, from the tenth to thirteenth centuries, to recover the Holy Land from Muslims, Islamic soldiers were mostly led by Kurds and Turks.
The Ottoman Muslims attacked the Byzantine Empire and, in 1453 AD, defeated Constantinople, took it over, and converted the largest Christian Cathedral, the Hagia Sophia, into a mosque.
After September 11, 2001, when Muslim terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City, Muslims wanted to build their mosque on the grounds where the World Trade Center had stood. A certain Muslim American President essentially said that it was a promising idea for them to build their Mosque there.
Imagine killing Americans and wanting to build their house of prayer, if that is what they do in Mosques, in the very spot they killed 3000 Americans. It takes extraordinary aggressiveness to even entertain such dreadful thoughts. Islam is an enormously aggressive religion bent on taking over the entire world.
The Turks conquered most of Eastern Europe and, on several occasions, including 1529 and 1683 AD, attacked Vienna, Austria, and were on both occasions repulsed.
From its inception, Islam has aimed at taking over all of Europe, from the West or from the East.
The goal of Islam is to conquer the entire world and convert every human being to Islam, as is stated in the Quran.
CONQUEST BY LEGAL IMMIGRATION
In the beginning, Muslims could not conquer Europe through the sword. They have now resolved to conquer Europe through legal migration.
They have wars in the Middle East and displace many people, and these people become refugees and pour into Europe.
Through legal migration and refugees, Muslims are becoming the majority population in many European cities. They are getting elected as mayors in European cities, such as the Mayor of London and Oxford, England.
Clearly, when their number reaches a certain critical mass, they will make their move to accomplish their mission of taking over Europe and converting Saint Peter’s Cathedral in the Vatican, Rome; the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris; and Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London into Mosques.
They do not hide their ambition or their mission, so Europeans cannot say that they do not know what Muslims’ objective is: they want to take over Europe through legal migration, and by exploiting Western liberal democratic processes, such as getting elected to political offices and talking about constitutionally allowed freedom of religion, freedoms given to European Christian sects fighting among themselves- and no one had Muslims in mind when those freedoms were granted.
For example, the right to religion was made part of the first ten amendments to the US Constitution. By religion, the American founding fathers meant Christianity. After Martin Luther started the protestant reformation in 1517 AD, many Christian denominations came into being; they were often fighting each other, and the US Constitution wanted to protect all these sects of Christianity but did not aim at protecting Muslims, for there were no Muslims in America in 1787 AD when the Constitution was written.
And when Muslims have succeeded in exploiting Western liberal institutions in establishing themselves in the West, they would then establish a theocratic rule all over Europe and abolish liberalism in the West.
Islam rules theocratically and is antithetical to democracy. In this light, one wonders why Europeans have laid the red carpet for Muslims to come and take their continent. I do not understand what is going on, given that if they succeed, it would be the end of Christianity and democracy and the beginning of autocracy, the rule of Arab emirs (princes).
Triumphant Islam in Europe would suppress women and have them cover their bodies from head to toe; they would keep women at home as part of their harem and as their sex slaves.
Is this really what Europeans want?
What really is behind this strange welcoming of Islam into Europe? Why are Europeans asking murderers to come and take over a Christian world?
What is behind this sudden change of heart? European ancestors fought to keep Islam out of Europe; contemporary Europeans ask Muslims to come and take their land.
What explains this change of heart? There must be something going on that one does not understand. Perhaps there is a death wish in the unconscious minds of Europeans, a kind of nihilism, a giving up on the desire to live and welcoming of the religion of murder and death; Europeans are asking for the Murderers called Muslims to come kill them or enslave them.
Perhaps the West has unconsciously decided that they are at the end of their tether and have invited Muslims to come take over and rule them. I do not understand what is going on.
Europeans are now like a charmed people, people placed under a magical spell and are sleepwalking into Muslim rule.
Muslims are also taking over North America. Donald Trump, the manchild who talks from both sides of his mouth, talks tough about keeping Muslims out of America but takes money from Muslim Emirs, including a $400 million plane gift.
He has allowed Saudi princes to fund the building of Mosques all over America. Just about every day, there is a new Mosque built in America, and Trump keeps quiet while telling his ignorant political base that he is keeping Muslims out of the country.
A Muslim has been elected the mayor of New York City; can you imagine that? A Muslim is on the verge of being elected a senator from Michigan!
Sooner or later, Muslims will be mayors of America’s big cities, take over the city councils, governorships of states, and get elected to Congress and the Presidency, and the takeover of America by Muslims would be complete. It is almost complete in Europe.
Muslims have no business being mayors of London, Oxford, and New York City; they should have no right to rule Christians.
But what do I know? King Charles apparently wants England to become a Muslim country; his ancestor, Richard the lion hearted, fought in the Crusades, but King Charles welcomes Muslims with open hands!
His heir apparent, Prince Williams have also praised Muslims (both should abdicate and let Prince Harry, if he is a Christian, take over the throne).
Indeed, the archbishop of Canterbury gave a Muslim cleric who called for the killing of Christians an award.
Something unholy is going on in the European mind that makes them welcome Muslims, infested rats, into their world, asking for the plague they are bringing upon themselves to occur.
DISCUSSION
Muslims find it rather easy to kill people in the name of their God. Apparently, their God does not tell them to love suffering humanity but to only kill anyone who says something that does not gratify his pathologically narcissistic ego.
Muslims have a religion of extreme violence; in fact, Islam is a cult of violence and death. Muslims enslaved Africans for 1300 years (from 500-1900 AD); even the supposed last prophet of God had slaves. One finds it difficult to imagine a man of God having slaves and killing people.
Honestly speaking, Islam to me seems like a kind of mental disorder that we need to figure out how to heal. It does not make sense, not one bit.
Mental health is characterized by a tendency to appreciate human suffering and love them and do whatever one can do to alleviate their suffering.
Islam encourages perpetual grievance holding and proclivity to violence. Muslims are always holding grudges against their so-called enemies and planning how to seek vengeance and revenge.
Jesus Christ taught his followers to forgive and love their enemies, never mind that most Christians do not live up to that injunction. Islam teaches not forgiving anyone and killing people for merely saying an honest word about their religion.
Call a man who had sex with children a pedophile, and Muslims come at you with their rusted swords, as if killing you obliterates what the man did that he should not have done.
This man bragged that he single-handedly killed people passing through Medina on their way to markets just because he considered them his enemy. What kind of man enjoys killing people? We call such people sadists (severe forms of antisocial personality disorder), sociopaths, and psychopaths.
In my judgment, take it for what it is worth, this man was not representing God; he was acting on a political agenda, which is fine, but we must not confuse politics with spirituality.
Arab Muslims call Africans abid, slaves, and justify enslaving them. As we talk, they still have African slaves in the Muslim world, such as in Sudan, Mauritania, and Niger.
Arabs go to Africa and trick African women into becoming their nannies, and when they take them to the Arab world, they take away their passports and essentially enslave them.
In Libya, they literally have African slaves doing their farm work for them. These are not the behavior of loving and caring people but satanic people.
I understand that there was slavery everywhere in the past and forgive it, but I cannot forgive contemporary slavery because we have sufficient information to know that enslaving another human being is wrong.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Islam is clearly a synthesis of Judaism, Christianity, and Arab religions. A very astute political figure realized that one of the best means for uniting diverse people is religion. The Arab people were disconnected from each other, and he wanted to unite them; he used the snippets of information on Judaism and Christianity he picked up during his trading travels to many towns in the Middle East, combined them with his own understanding of the truth, and put them together as a new religion headed by him.
From a political angle, he did an excellent job, but what he put together is not a real religion; it is a political ideology with which he kept his people together, and upon his death, his disciples, especially Abu Bakr, tried to make it a universal religion, just as upon the death of Jesus Christ, his religion that was originally meant for his fellow Jews was transformed into a universal religion by Paul.
Perhaps Islam is good for Arabs, but it is, in my opinion, not good for Europeans, Asians, and Africans. Embracing it by Westerners is allowing themselves to be controlled by an Arab worldview, especially a seventh-century primitive worldview.
Islam does not show any understanding of what we now call science and technology and, as such, is a religion fit for primitive people, not civilized people.
I read the Quran, Hadith, and Sharia several times. In my opinion, they read like what a relatively well-functioning schizophrenic would write, but certainly not what a healthy person would write. People of God tend to be loving people, but the writers of these weird books have enemies everywhere and were at war with them, killing them and asking for them to be dead.
Healthy people are motivated by love for all humanity, but the books are full of anger and hatred with unnecessary calls to harm and kill people.
The other prophets of God restrained their aggression, anger, and sexuality; the writer of these books was full of aggression and passion to rule the world; he was full of sexuality and had many wives, including children, which in our world would make him be jailed as a pedophile for having sex with a nine-year-old girl.
I would not give his books to anyone I love to read because they are psychosis making!
Europe ought to immediately pass laws banning Islam in Europe, close down all mosques in Europe, and give Muslims in Europe the option of converting to Christianity or leaving the continent in a month.
This must be done if Europe wants to retain its Christian soul. The same action ought to be undertaken in North America, Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and other Christian lands.
THE CORE BELIEFS OF ISLAM
The Five Pillars of Islam are Shahada (faith), Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting), and Hajj (pilgrimage), forming the foundation of a Muslim’s spiritual, ethical, and social life.
1. Shahada (Declaration of Faith)
The Shahada is the first and most fundamental pillar. It is the verbal testimony: “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger” (Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulu-Allah). This declaration affirms the oneness of God (Tawhid) and acknowledges Muhammad as the final prophet. Reciting it with sincere conviction marks the entrance into Islam and serves as a daily recommitment to faith, guiding a Muslim’s beliefs and actions.
2. Salah (Prayer)
Salah is the ritual prayer performed five times daily at prescribed times: Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (noon), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (evening), and Isha (night). It involves physical postures such as standing, bowing, and prostrating, accompanied by Quranic recitations. Salah strengthens a believer’s connection with Allah, instills discipline, and serves as a constant reminder of spiritual obligations, integrating faith into daily life.
3. Zakat (Almsgiving)
Zakat is the obligatory charity, typically 2.5% of a Muslim’s annual savings, given to those in need. It purifies wealth, promotes social justice, and fosters generosity and selflessness. By redistributing resources, Zakat ensures that the less fortunate are supported, reinforcing the ethical and communal dimensions of Islam.
4. Sawm (Fasting)
Sawm refers to fasting during the holy month of Ramadan; from dawn to sunset, Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking, and sexual activity during daylight hours. Fasting cultivates self-discipline, empathy for the needy, spiritual reflection, and gratitude. It is a period for renewing faith, increasing charity, and seeking forgiveness.
5. Hajj (Pilgrimage)
Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca, required at least once in a lifetime for those who are physically and financially able. It occurs during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah and involves a series of rituals that commemorate the actions of Prophet Abraham and his family. Hajj fosters unity among Muslims worldwide and symbolizes submission to Allah.

On Fridays, Muslims are required to assemble at noon for their Jumu’ah prayer. The Imam leads the gathering and offers a sermon to the congregants.
The congregants, before entering the Mosque, wash their feet, face, and hands from a basin of water by the door. They sit on a carpeted floor. The Imam talks about his understanding of a particular Surah, a chapter in the Quran. He may also talk about passages from the Hadith, Muhammad’s explanations of his teachings, and his understanding of the Sharia, Muslim law.
Muslim laws are extremely strict, including cutting off the hand of anyone who steals, stoning a woman caught in adultery, throwing homosexuals down from the roof of houses so that they fall to their death, punishing women who marry non-Muslims, etc.
Muslim life is guarded with all kinds of rules, mores, norms, and laws made by the Sharia and interpreted by Muslim clerics. They demand that women wear Burqa or Niqab. The names of the various clothing required of Muslim women are Hijab, Abaya, Jilbab, Khimar, Niqab, Chador, Burqa.
Muslims are supposed to help the poor by giving 2.5 of their annual income to the poor.
“Muslims belong to the Ummah, the global community of Muslims united by shared faith, values, and spiritual identity, transcending geography, race, and culture. It is described in Islamic sources as a single community bound by belief in Allah and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, emphasizing unity, mutual care, and moral responsibility.”
Muslims are supposed to pay their taxes.
Muslim clerics can become very radical and give literal interpretations of some of the hideous passages in the Quran that ask Muslims to chop off the heads of infidels. Some of these clerics can so arouse their members to spontaneous action that they go from the mosque and start acting out as they told them to do. They may go and start flogging women they see on the streets who did not cover their bodies with clothes; that is correct, the men literally flog women who are not related to them because their cleric asked them to do so.
Some of the clerics can give outlandish interpretations of the Quran that their followers go out and start even killing people for Allah.
The Islamic ideology often breeds chaos and anarchy in society, for you never know what the cleric will ask his followers to do regularly.
A cleric inclined to pedophilia may preach the need for members to marry children under the age of twelve, and they go do so.
Islam is not just a religion; it is a way of controlling people’s lifestyle, a culture on how to live given to followers by their holy books and clerics.
“Muslims believe in one God (Allah) and follow six core articles of faith: belief in Allah, angels, revealed scriptures, prophets, the Day of Judgment, and divine decree (Qadar). These beliefs form the foundation of Islamic theology and guide all religious practice.

THERE ARE MANY PARTS OF THE QURAN CALLING FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD TO BE CONVERTED TO ISLAM.
Chapter 9: Al-Taubah / Al-Baraat — The Immunity (Revealed at Madinah: 16 sections, 129 verses)
Section 5 (Verses 9:30–9:37): Islam will Triumph in the World.
وَ قَالَتِ الۡیَہُوۡدُ عُزَیۡرُۨ ابۡنُ اللّٰہِ وَ قَالَتِ النَّصٰرَی الۡمَسِیۡحُ ابۡنُ اللّٰہِ ؕ ذٰلِکَ قَوۡلُہُمۡ بِاَفۡوَاہِہِمۡ ۚ یُضَاہِـُٔوۡنَ قَوۡلَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ؕ قٰتَلَہُمُ اللّٰہُ ۚ۫ اَنّٰی یُؤۡفَکُوۡنَ ﴿۳۰﴾
9:30 And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah.1 These are the words of their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before.2 Allah’s curse be on them! How they are turned away (from truth)!
اِتَّخَذُوۡۤا اَحۡبَارَہُمۡ وَ رُہۡبَانَہُمۡ اَرۡبَابًا مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰہِ وَ الۡمَسِیۡحَ ابۡنَ مَرۡیَمَ ۚ وَ مَاۤ اُمِرُوۡۤا اِلَّا لِیَعۡبُدُوۡۤا اِلٰـہًا وَّاحِدًا ۚ لَاۤ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا ہُوَ ؕ سُبۡحٰنَہٗ عَمَّا یُشۡرِکُوۡنَ ﴿۳۱﴾
9:31 They take their Doctor of Law and their monks for lords besides Allah,3 and (also) the Messiah, son of Mary. And they were enjoined that they should serve one God only — there is no god but Him. Glory be to Him from what they set up as partners (with Him)!
یُرِیۡدُوۡنَ اَنۡ یُّطۡفِـُٔوۡا نُوۡرَ اللّٰہِ بِاَفۡوَاہِہِمۡ وَ یَاۡبَی اللّٰہُ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ یُّتِمَّ نُوۡرَہٗ وَ لَوۡ کَرِہَ الۡکٰفِرُوۡنَ ﴿۳۲﴾
9:32 They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will allow nothing except the perfection of His light, though the disbelievers are averse.4
ہُوَ الَّذِیۡۤ اَرۡسَلَ رَسُوۡلَہٗ بِالۡہُدٰی وَ دِیۡنِ الۡحَقِّ لِیُظۡہِرَہٗ عَلَی الدِّیۡنِ کُلِّہٖ ۙ وَ لَوۡ کَرِہَ الۡمُشۡرِکُوۡنَ ﴿۳۳﴾
9:33 He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth that He may make it prevail over all religions, though those who set up partners (with Allah) are averse.5
یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِنَّ کَثِیۡرًا مِّنَ الۡاَحۡبَارِ وَ الرُّہۡبَانِ لَیَاۡکُلُوۡنَ اَمۡوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالۡبَاطِلِ وَ یَصُدُّوۡنَ عَنۡ سَبِیۡلِ اللّٰہِ ؕ وَ الَّذِیۡنَ یَکۡنِزُوۡنَ الذَّہَبَ وَ الۡفِضَّۃَ وَ لَا یُنۡفِقُوۡنَہَا فِیۡ سَبِیۡلِ اللّٰہِ ۙ فَبَشِّرۡہُمۡ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیۡمٍ ﴿ۙ۳۴﴾
9:34 O you who believe, surely many of the Doctor of Law and monks eat away people’s property falsely and hinder (them) from Allah’s way. And those who hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it in Allah’s way — announce to them a painful punishment,
یَّوۡمَ یُحۡمٰی عَلَیۡہَا فِیۡ نَارِ جَہَنَّمَ فَتُکۡوٰی بِہَا جِبَاہُہُمۡ وَ جُنُوۡبُہُمۡ وَ ظُہُوۡرُہُمۡ ؕ ہٰذَا مَا کَنَزۡتُمۡ لِاَنۡفُسِکُمۡ فَذُوۡقُوۡا مَا کُنۡتُمۡ تَکۡنِزُوۡنَ ﴿۳۵﴾
9:35 on the day when it will be heated in the Fire of hell, then their foreheads and their sides and their backs will be branded with it: This is what you hoarded up for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard.6
اِنَّ عِدَّۃَ الشُّہُوۡرِ عِنۡدَ اللّٰہِ اثۡنَا عَشَرَ شَہۡرًا فِیۡ کِتٰبِ اللّٰہِ یَوۡمَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ مِنۡہَاۤ اَرۡبَعَۃٌ حُرُمٌ ؕ ذٰلِکَ الدِّیۡنُ الۡقَیِّمُ ۬ۙ فَلَا تَظۡلِمُوۡا فِیۡہِنَّ اَنۡفُسَکُمۡ وَ قَاتِلُوا الۡمُشۡرِکِیۡنَ کَآفَّۃً کَمَا یُقَاتِلُوۡنَکُمۡ کَآفَّۃً ؕ وَ اعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّ اللّٰہَ مَعَ الۡمُتَّقِیۡنَ ﴿۳۶﴾
9:36 Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months by Allah’s ordinance, since the day when He created the heavens and the earth — of these four are sacred. That is the right religion; so do not wrong yourselves in regard to them.7 And fight the idolaters all together as they fight you all together.8 And know that Allah is with those who keep their duty.
اِنَّمَا النَّسِیۡٓءُ زِیَادَۃٌ فِی الۡکُفۡرِ یُضَلُّ بِہِ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا یُحِلُّوۡنَہٗ عَامًا وَّ یُحَرِّمُوۡنَہٗ عَامًا لِّیُوَاطِـُٔوۡا عِدَّۃَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰہُ فَیُحِلُّوۡا مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰہُ ؕ زُیِّنَ لَہُمۡ سُوۡٓءُ اَعۡمَالِہِمۡ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ لَا یَہۡدِی الۡقَوۡمَ الۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ ﴿٪۳۷﴾
9:37 Postponing (of the sacred month) is only an addition in disbelief, by which those who disbelieve are led astray. They allow it one year and forbid it (another) year, that they may agree on the number (of months) which Allah has made sacred, and thus make lawful what Allah has forbidden.9 The evil of their doings is made to seem good to them. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
MANY PASSAGES IN THE QURAN CALL ON MUSLIMS TO KILL INFIDELS
Al-Baqarah2:191واقتلوهم حيث ثقفتموهم واخرجوهم من حيث اخرجوكم والفتنة اشد من القتل ولا تقاتلوهم عند المسجد الحرام حتى يقاتلوكم فيه فان قاتلوكم فاقتلوهم كذالك جزاء الكافرين ١٩١
“Kill them wherever you come upon them1 and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out. For persecution2 is far worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque unless they attack you there. If they do so, then fight them; that is the reward of the disbelievers.”
APPENDIX: THE ISSUE OF WHO OWNS ISRAEL
Islam clouds the human mind and produces poor judgment in Muslims. Consider the question of what to do with the so-called Palestinians in Israel.
We know that Jews have lived in the small territory now called Irael for almost four thousand years. Jews are a people convinced that they are the special children of God. As a result, they are almost always hated by their neighbors.
They had been ruled by many powers, including Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, and others. During their long, checkered history, they were sometimes driven to exile by the conquering powers of their time. They had been in exile in Egypt, Babylon, and Persia at one time or another.
In 53 BC, Rome defeated Israel and incorporated it into its empire. Jews did not take kindly to being ruled by the Romans and were fighting for independence. Indeed, the emergence of Jesus Christ was largely due to Jewish prayer for their God, Yahweh, to send to them a messiah that would liberate them from the Roman yoke.
Jesus came but defined his kingdom as not of this world but the kingdom of God that he said is inside each of us. Thus, the Jews kept looking for a warrior messiah to liberate them. They caused so much trouble for the Romans that the Romans in 70 AD destroyed their Temple and drove many of them into exile.
These are documented facts. Thus, we know that Jews lived in the area that Rome called its province of Palestine. There was no mention of the presence of Arabs in Palestine during the Roman era.
The Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD, but the Eastern portion of the empire lingered on until 1453 AD, when finally, the Turks defeated it.
Mohammad (570-632 AD) came along and declared his mission to conquer the world. His disciples defeated Jerusalem in 638 AD and Egypt in 643 AD.
Muslim Arabs were brought in as colonizers to live in Jerusalem and ancient Israel as a result of this defeat of the area by Muslims. Arabs, in effect, were now occupying land that hitherto belonged to Jews.
After several hundred years in exile, Jews began returning to their promised land. I will skip the history and just state that by 1948 Jews and Arabs had a war, and Jews won and got a greater portion of their former land. There were other wars between Jews and Arabs, including 1956, 1967, 1973, and so on. Each time, Jews defeated the Arab army and essentially recovered most of the land that used to belong to their fathers.
Arab Muslims insist that Jews must leave and return to wherever they came from and leave the land for them. Why should that be?
The land did not originally belong to Arabs, so why would it now belong to Arabs? Arabs got it by force in 638 AD, and now a greater force has retaken the land.
But instead of Arabs dealing with reality, they keep talking about their so-called state of Palestine, between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean, as theirs. Why is it their land?
It is madness to take land that belongs to someone, and when he reclaimed it from you, you insist that it belongs to you. What would make sense is that, given the small size of Israel, it is about the size of the greater Los Angeles, California area; Arabs would allow them to live there, and other countries such as Saudi Arabia, with large land, absorb all the so-called Palestinians and resettle them there. After all, they originally came from Arabia.
But Arabs would not see reason and keep picking fights with Israel. Israel has nuclear weapons and has a policy called the Samson Option, which is: if you push them, they explode some of their 300 nuclear warheads and wipe out not only the so-called Palestinians but Arabs and themselves. They would make the Middle East uninhabitable.
The reasonable thing to do is for Arab Palestinians to go and live in Saudi Arabia or other Arab lands (excluding Egypt and North Africa because Arabs are interlopers in North Africa; North Africa belongs to Africans, Berbers/Amazigh people).
We could solve the so-called Palestinian problem by having them return to Arab lands and leave the little piece of land called Israel to Jews. But no, Arabs want that little piece of land and keep the entire world embroiled in their efforts to drive Jews to the sea and take over that land. Their religion has destroyed their capacity for rational thinking and certainly also for loving and caring thinking.
They would not be the only people who were driven from the land they had lived on for centuries. At the end of the Second World War, Germans were driven out of Eastern Europe, places they had lived in for hundreds of years, and had to resettle in Germany. If that could happen to Germans, it could happen to Palestinians; Palestinians could go resettle in their original Arab lands and leave Israel to those to whom it historically belonged, Jews.
The so-called two-state solution to this problem is untenable to Jews. Having a Palestinian state side by side with Israel will witness the continued lobbing of missiles into Israel by the Palestinians, as they did on October 7, 2023, and Israel would retaliate and kill many of them.
The best solution is to return the so-called Palestinians to their original home in Arabia; Saudi Arabia has enough money and land to resettle them in their new home.
All of Gaza and the West Bank should become Israeli territory.
