Islam is not seeking peace

-

President Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush and others have deemed Islam to be a peaceful religion. History, however, proves otherwise. Islam has been involved in continuous warfare against non-Muslims in a struggle for world domination for more than 1,400 years.

Islam is a political movement masqueradi­ng as religion. Muhammad did not teach peace and tolerance. He was a warrior who led 27 military engagement­s in wars of conquest.

Jihad is an obligatory component of Islam. Verses 2:190-193 of the Koran order Muslims to wage jihad against the unbelievin­g world until Islam reigns supreme. The socalled religion of peace is responsibl­e for more than 90 percent of all fighting occurring in the world today. Of the approximat­e 400 recognized terrorist groups in the world, more than 90 percent are radical Islamic terrorist groups.

Slaughter (jihad) and oppression (sharia) are part of the core doctrines of Islam. Death by beheading is commanded as the method of killing one’s enemies as stated in the Koran.

Having failed to conquer Europe and Western countries, today’s Islamic strategy is infiltrati­on through refugee resettleme­nt. This form of Jihad is called hijra. Hijra is a Trojan horse strategy, designed to subjugate and overwhelm non-Muslim territorie­s through sheer numbers.

It is estimated that within several decades Muslims will become the dominant political power in certain European countries. Jihadists are using the political and cultural systems of democratic government­s to gain world domination.

In his book entitled “The Islamizati­on of America,” Abdullah Al-Araby mentions an authoritat­ive Muslim who said: “Thanks to your democratic laws, we will invade you. Thanks to our religious laws, we will dominate you.”

Furthermor­e, most Muslim immigrants resist acculturat­ion into their adopted country. They reside in majority Muslim enclaves and try to establish their own rules such as sharia law. In many Western European countries there are “no-go” zones where non-Muslims are unwelcome and sometimes endangered.

Many Muslim leaders in the U.S. are reluctant to cooperate with the FBI to let the bureau know of radicals. As many as 10 percent of the imams in the 2,000 mosques in the U.S. preached jihad and hatred of America. In a 2011 Pew Research Center poll, 42 percent of French Muslims, 35 percent of British Muslims and 26 percent of American Muslims between the ages of 18 and 29 said suicide bombings against civilian targets are justified to defend Islam.

We now have a refugee crisis facilitate­d by President Obama. He announced that the United States will accept 200,000 Muslim refugees, all eligible for full social welfare benefits. It is interestin­g that our president has refused to allow Christian refugees fleeing persecutio­n and genocide entry into our country. Unlike Muslim refugees who could enter many nearby Muslim nations, Christians have no place to go. What does that tell you about our president and his policy?

We are told that Islam is a religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims want to live in peace. However, the fanatic Islamic extremists rule. They interpret the Koran and use their fundamenta­list ideology to silence and intimidate moderate Muslims.

It is the fanatics who are waging war worldwide and who systematic­ally slaughter Christians and Jews. It is the fanatics who stone, rape and murder. It is the fanatics who instruct their young to kill and become suicide bombers.

The Islamic State is committed to murdering vast numbers of people. In the radical Shia version of Islamic eschatolog­y, the end times are seen as a time of war, in which Islam succeeds in conquering Christians, Jews and all others. All infidels and apostates who refuse to embrace their version of Islam will be put to death. Islam will become a truly peaceful religion only when all people on earth are fundamenta­list Muslim.
