4–Understanding the role of the Muslim Brother in North America:

The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" with all the word means.  The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions.  Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet.  It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to slack.  But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be equal.

•  Jesus Christ lived a perfect life.  He was God incarnate, and even admitted as much (Jn 8:58; 10:30; 11:45).  He never harmed a soul, nor did he ever command any of his followers to ever perpetrate an act of violence upon anyone.  In fact, several times throughout Jesus' ministry he was personally attacked and never retaliated.  And the one time that one of Jesus' followers (Peter) took up a sword and cut off a high priest's ear for attempting to arrest Jesus on false charges, Jesus not only healed the high priest, but told Peter, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword" (Mt. 26:52). 

• Muhammad, on the other hand, was anything but perfect.  He never claimed to be God incarnate, never performed a miracle, and propagated doctrines about God that, biblically speaking, made him false prophet (Dt. 13:1-3).  Moreover, throughout his short life, Muhammad not only personally murdered people with the sword, he openly condoned such, by ordering his followers to fight, kill, and subdue anyone who would not accept Muhammad's religion of forced submission.  "Fight against those who believe not in Allah…and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued (Qur'an 9:29).  "So, when you meet (in fight—Jihad in Allah's Cause) those who disbelieve, smite (their) necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives)" (47:4).  "o.8.4  There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O: any expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die) (Reliance of the Traveller, 596, which is an authoritative volume on Sharia Law).
  

• Christian History.  Critics of Christianity, and religion in general, often like to point to what they consider a long history of bloodshed perpetrated in the name of God.  That because of those who have died at the hands of those claiming to be Christians, that that somehow condemns the whole movement as being nothing better than what Islam, or any other religion, has to offer. 

Typically the Old Testament slaughter of pagan elements in Israel's history and the Crusades are cited as "Aha!  See, I told you so," types of examples.  Yet, both examples are fundamentally flawed.  First of all, the sin being openly committed and practiced by the Canaanites at the time the Jews conquered the Promised Land was so heinous, disgusting, and full of debauchery that the only way God's people would be prevented from the taint of that environment was to destroy them.  It is nothing different than when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah or the earth by the flood.  Second, the Crusades were not about Christian oppression of anyone, nor conquering the world.  It was about fighting back against the Muslim onslaught that managed to take not only Jerusalem by force, but much of the Middle East, and the Mediterranean and Southern European worlds.  In fact, by and large the Crusades were a failure.

• Islamic History.  Muhammad initially started out by petitioning the Quraysh to give up their idols and idolatrous ways, and was laughed at.  He was finally pressured to leave Mecca and reside in Medina, where through a series of treacherous raids he managed to finally build up an army where he could take his own revenge upon the Meccans.  His whole modus operandi, in other words, after he left Mecca the first time changed from preaching peace to preaching conquest by the sword.  And conquer by the sword he did.  Those who dared to get out from underneath his tyrannical thumb met a perilous fate, as the 600-900 Jews did when he personally executed them by beheading after the battle of the trench.  His caliphs who succeeded him were no less treacherous as they marauded their ways across North Africa, the Middle East, and all the way up into France, where they were stopped at the Battle of Tours by Charles Martel.  And given the Qur'an's mandate of conquest by force, we may expect more of the same, until either the world is dominated by Islamic oppression, it is held in check by force or by conversion, or the Lord returns and destroys it.

•  Atheist Oppression and Murder.  It is no big secret that during the 20th century that atheistic Communism managed to murder more people (75-100 million) than had died in all the Christian wars and conflicts the previous two-thousand years.  What is interesting is that atheistic communism thrives on the same oppressive ideology as does Islam, and that is if one doesn't want to have anything to do with the system, then force is used to subdue the people to comply at the risk of dying.  Of course, both ideologies and their adherents frequently cry "foul" over drawing such a comparison, but the historical and doctrinal records speak for themselves.  In fact, Naziism, despite all its quasi-religious ties, was essentially nothing more than an atheistic system as well.  Therefore, it should come as no big surprise that during Hitler's rampage a prominent Muslim leader, Haj Amin al-Husseini, would meet with Hitler to plot a way to oppress and exterminate the Jews during World War II.

• The gods of Atheism & Islam. One might be taken aback for a moment at the thought of an atheist acknowledging the existence of a god, much less one on par with the Muslim.  After all, don't Muslims worship the same God as the Jews and Christians?  First of all, the atheist does worship a god.  In fact, depending on the number of atheists in a room will depend on the number of gods that could be worshiped at any given time.  That is because the atheist by denying God's existence must prop himself up as a god to do it.  He must take on all the characteristics and attributes of God in order to positively and completely deny Him.  The atheist may posture and sneer that he has to do any such thing, but simply using a little deductive reasoning makes the conclusion irrefutable.

The Muslim, on the other hand, worships a god, that is not only unlike Yahweh or Jesus, but is so unapproachable as to be unknowable.  Oh, it may have 99 names, and there may be only one of it (at least in theory), but as far as establishing any kind of relationship with it or having any kind of assurance that one has done enough to warrant standing in its presence one day forgiven of one's sins, the Muslim is out of luck.  One might as well be worshiping oneself, for he will never meet this "god."  And since that is the case, the Muslim god no more exists, as a metaphysical reality, than does the atheist's god.

The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o11.4)—which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself—while remaining in their ancestral religions) (O:and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High,

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Days and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden—who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given a Book—until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled" (Koran 9:29).

"Then they surrendered, and the apostle confined them in Medina in the quarter of d. al-Harith, a woman of B. al-Najjar.  Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it.  Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches.  Among them was the enemy of Allah Huyayy b. Aktab and Ka'b b. Asad their chief.  There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900.  As they were being taken out in batches to the apostle they asked Ka'b what he thought would be done with them.  He replied, 'Will you never understand?  Don't you see that the summoner never stops and those who are taken away do not return?  By Alah it is death!'  This went on until the apostle made an end of them.—A. Gulliame, The Life of Muhammad: A Translation of Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah (New York: Oxford, 1967), 150.

"Something has got to be done!"  Those were the conclusive words of my brother, Troy, as he spoke on the subject of the national debt this morning on his radio program, and the amount of fraud being perpetrated in the United States.  Yet, apart from the exclamation, any type of plan to get the job done to eradicate the national debt, fraud, deceit, immorality, and all the other character flaws that have come to be accepted as normal in America, was not forthcoming.  Why?  One would have to ask him.  

I will posit, though, that one reason is due to the fragmented nature of the information be offered which hinted at the problems.  In other words, we're not getting "the rest of the story" when it comes to what appears to be a dire situation.  Hence we, as a country, are unable to provide a coherent solution to correct the problems.  "What can we do?" was a frequent question asked, which is normal given the lack of a complete picture of just what the problem is.  Ever try to fix a computer or leaky faucet with just a screwdriver?

You might be saying, "Wait a minute.  What do you mean we're getting fragmented information?  Didn't you just say that you heard your brother talking about all the fraud?"  Absolutely.  But, just stop and think about it.  Where did he get his information from?  Another news source; and in this case it was from the TV show 60 Minutes.  

In fact, where he gets his information is typical of where all those doing talk radio or television get their information, whether it is Limbaugh, Hannity, or Beck, and that is from some news source, most of which is heavily edited or slanted, as well as packaged to make it interesting or entertaining to the listener or viewer.  Therefore, it is fragmented with the express goal of not providing a meaningful solution, but merely to provide higher ratings to draw in revenue.  That is not to say that the information is necessarily untrue or inaccurate, but simply that the bigger picture is missing.

It is because of the fragmented, entertainment driven society in which we live that nothing is going to get done to correct any kind of pervasive fiscal fraud and political deceit, until we realize that we are doing as Neil Postman aptly titled his book years ago, Amusing Ourselves to Death.  We're going to keep right on spending ourselves into oblivion, deceiving ourselves until we're numb, cheating ourselves of the best things in life, and sacrificing our liberties to those who know that an overdose of amusement eventuates in mindless servitude and death.  And in this case, death of a country.

Yes, something needs to be done, but merely talking about the symptoms in a fragmented fashion without addressing the cause of the problems is not going to fix anything.  All that is going to do is perpetuate more frustration, hopelessness, and despair, as well as mislead people into believing that talking about the symptoms in an incoherent setting is going to resolve the issues.  

What needs to be done, at least on the radio and TV level, is for people to start treating radio and television for the amusement media that they are.  Radio and television are not designed for serious intellectual thought, they never have been, nor can they ever be.  They are for amusement, and amusement by its very nature is intended to prevent logical, coherent, meaningful thought.  Moreover, if something is not amusing on television or radio, then you may rest assure that it will not be long until the mundane program is pulled or canceled.

Then when it is concluded that radio and television are for entertainment, particularly when it comes to addressing societal ills, then they need to be shut off.  There are much better sources available to address whatever it is that is prompting a citizen to act than sitting around listening to 45 second sound bites which give only partial contexts that are often unrelated, whether it is between stories or the commercials which fund the incoherency.
