What Is, And Why You Need To Know About, the Islam Formula
If you are sensing a growing number of Muslims around you, especially hostile Muslims, the reason is way more involved than just migration...
At the time of the original publication of this post, it was the 2nd time in 3 years someone we knew was killed by a terrorist…
Glen Doherty
The first to be killed was Glen Doherty in Benghazi — we did not know him personally but we did know him through many of his friends.
The mismanagement by Hillary and Obama throughout the whole ordeal, and even more so afterward, has hit his family as well as his friends very hard — and lately, it has turned into blatant lying by both, even to this day.

Only a burnt soul can do what they are doing to this family, their friends, and our country…
Nicholas Thalasinos
The second was Nicholas Thalasinos (aka Michael Thalasinos on Facebook) — Nicholas was a Facebook friend whom many loved, admired and followed nearly daily.
Nicholas converted to Messianic Judaism after attending an event of theirs and saw how much love was coming from this group.
He also kept a second account as he — like myself — would find himself in “Facebook jail” for speaking out about the atrocities of the Islamic world (I would just forge a new account while Nicholas would bounce between the two).
We joked how Mark Zuckerberg, a Jew, could even call himself a Jew and still embrace Islam as he has been of late — something that left Nicholas sad and yet perplexed.
Paul Farrell, a Heavy staff writer from Ireland, lives in Brooklyn, New York, and covers breaking news, crime, and pop culture, recently provided a write-up, Nicholas Thalasinos: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know, providing details leading up to the fatal day in San Bernadino – Nicholas knew and worked with his killer and never had an unkind thing to say about him as much as Nicholas disagreed with him.
With this post and given the focus of events since 2016, we provide
an overview of a formula the Islamic people use in taking over a country as presented by Dr. Peter Hammond in his book Slavery, Terrorism, and Islam
some facts most either do not know or want to ignore (especially RINOs and the globalists [aka Liberals] ) as well as
the verses of violence found in the Islam books — including a note on what happened when we asked any Muslim to denounce these verses…
There has been a lot going on since 2016 and hopefully, more of us will keep our eyes on the shell games the left is playing instead of the shells.
Seems they are more aware of Obama and his Muslim friends and the Muslim Brotherhood ties and are forsaking watching the shells and focusing instead on his game…
Which, once you recognize the elements, is not too difficult to predict – but losing the focus of the game permits the shill to continue with more of their shenanigans…
What Is the Islam Formula?
Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism, and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat - 2005 (internet archive -requires free account to view the entire book)
Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult.
In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of ‘life’ - if you want to call such a system ‘life’.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components, all woven intricately together.
In a word, Islam is a THEOCRACY
Theocracies are nothing new, England was a theocracy until
The required religious component is a beard for all of the other components.
To be blunt…
Islamization of any country begins when sufficient Muslims agitate to that country for their religious privileges.
Eventually, all this will lead to the abolishment of all other religions being permitted in that country.
They will be able to do this as they will have, by then, infiltrated all levels and branches of the country’s government.
When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse governments and societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges - such as Europe has been doing for more than a decade - other Islamic, more restrictive and destructive components will creep in, at first covertly then boldly and aggressively…
Here’s How The Islam Formula Works
Percentages provided below are derived from the World Population Review website as of 2021 - not all countries are included; many countries in Europe have grown exponentially in Islamization as of Dec 2021. Netherlands, Spain, and Trinidad & Tobago had a decrease. The 2004 percentages from the CIA are included to provide a perspective on their growth and infiltration, and in a few cases, diminished populations.
1st Level: Muslim population 2% Or Less
As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens – it is a trick…
Poland — Muslim 0.02% (2004 = 0.01% (est); increase by 100%; level change, 0)
United States — Muslim 1.05% (2004 = 0.6%; increase by 75%; level change, 0)
2nd Level: Muslim population 2% To 5%
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs; this is currently happening in…
Australia — Muslim 3.16% (2004 = 1.5%; increase 110%; level change, up 1)
Canada — Muslim 4.89% (2004 = 1.9%; increase 157%; level change, 1)
China — Muslim 3.6% (2004 = 1.8%; increase 100%; level change, 1)
Italy — Muslim 4.8% (2004 = 1.5%; increase 225%; level change, 1)
Netherlands — Muslim 2.22% (2004 = 5.5%; decrease 60%; level change, -1)
Norway — Muslim 3.29% (2004 = 1.8%; increase 83%; level change, 1)
Spain — Muslim 2.53% (2004 = 4%; decrease 40%; level change, 0)
United Kingdom — Muslim 3.23% (2004 = 2.7%; increase 20%; level change, 0)
3rd Level: Muslim population 5% To Less Than 10%
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.; you can expect them to…
Push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims (mind you this is the same group that uses their hands to wipe their butt)
Increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply
Work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law
The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world — period
Denmark — Muslim 5.4% (2004 = 2%; increase 170%; level change, 1)
France — Muslim 8.54% (2004 = 8%; increase 7%; level change, 0)
Germany — Muslim 5.54% (2004 = 3.7%; increase 50%; level change, 1)
Sweden — Muslim 6.87% (2004 = 5%; increase 37%; level change, 0)
Switzerland — Muslim 5.18% (2004 = 4.3%; increase 20%; level change, 0)
Thailand — Muslim 5.2% (2004 = 4.6%; increase 13%; level change, 1)
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.75% (2004 = 5.8%; decrease 5%; level change, 0)
4th Level: Muslim population 10% To Less Than 20%
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to…
Increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions
Any non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats
Opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam
Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections…
Guyana — Muslim 7.43% (2004 = 10%; decrease 25%; level change, -1)
India — Muslim 14.6% (2004 = 13.4%; increase 9%; level change, 0)
Israel — Muslim 18% (2004 = 16%; increase 12.5%; level change, 0)
Kenya — Muslim 11.36% (2004 = 10%; increase 13.6%; level change, 0)
Philippines — Muslim 11.01% (2004 = 5%; increase 120%; level change, 1)
Russia — Muslim 10.9% (2004 = 12.5%; decrease 12.8%; level change, 0)
5th Level: Muslim population 20% To Less Than 40%
After reaching 20%, nations can expect…
hair-trigger rioting
jihad militia formations
sporadic killings, and
the burning of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues…
Ethiopia — Muslim 31.3% (2004 = 32.8%; decrease 4.5%; level change, 0)
6th Level: Muslim population 40% To Less Than 60%
At 40%, nations experience…
widespread massacres and
chronic terror attacks…
Bosnia — Muslim 50.78% (2004 = 40%; increase 27%; level change, 0)
Chad — Muslim 58% (2004 = 53.1%; increase 9%; level change, 0)
7th Level: Muslim population 60% To Less Than 80%
From 60%, nations experience
Unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims)
Sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide)
Use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and
Jizya, the tax placed on infidels…
Albania — Muslim 58.8% (2004 = 70%; decrease 16%; level change, 0)
Lebanon — Muslim 67.8% (2004 = 59.7%; increase 13,5%; level change, 1)
Malaysia — Muslim 61.3% (2004 = 60.4%; increase 1.5%; level change, 0)
Qatar — Muslim 63.94% (2004 = 77.5%; decrease 17.5%; level change, 0)
UAE — Muslim 65.52% (2004 = 96%; decrease 46.5%; level change, -1)
8th Level: Muslim population 80% To Less Than 99.9%
After 80%, expect daily
Intimidation and violent jihad
Some State-run ethnic cleansing, and
Some genocide
These nations will drive out the infidels and move towards a 100% Muslim population
Afghanistan — Muslim 99.7% (2004 = 100%; decrease 3%; level change, -1)
Bangladesh — Muslim 91.28% (2004 = 83%; increase 10%; level change, 0)
Egypt — Muslim 94.74% (2004 = 90%; increase 5.3%; level change, 0)
Indonesia — Muslim 85.82% (2004 = 86.1%; decrease 0.3%; level change, 0)
Iran — Muslim 99.4% (2004 = 98%; increase 1.4%; level change, 0)
Iraq — Muslim 98% (2004 = 97%; increase 1%; level change, 0)
Jordan — Muslim 97.2% (2004 = 92%; increase 5.6%; level change, 0)
Morocco — Muslim 99% (2004 = 98.7%; increase 0.3%; level change, 0)
Pakistan — Muslim 96.46% (2004 = 97%; decrease 0.5%; level change, 0)
’Palestine’ (Israel) — Muslim 89.99% (2004 = 99%; decrease 9.1%; level change, 0)
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 92.15% (2004 = 100%; decrease 7.8%; level change, -1)
Somalia — Muslim 99.8% (2004 = 100%; decrease 0.2%; level change, -1)
Sudan — Muslim 94.51% (2004 = 70%; increase 35%; level change, 1)
Syria — Muslim 83.33% (2004 = 90%; decrease 7.4%; level change, 0)
Tajikistan — Muslim 96.99% (2004 = 90%; increase 7.8%; level change, 0)
Turkiye — Muslim 98.14% (2004 = 99.8%; decrease 1.7%; level change, 0)
Yemen — Muslim 99.07% (2004 = 99.9%; decrease 9.2%; level change, -1)
9th & Final Level: Muslim population 99.9% To 100%
100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — where there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim, right?
Of course, that’s not the case.
To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons (they kill each other at a rate of 8:1 when comparing Muslim to non-Muslim kills before even getting to this level)…
We should note that 4 countries have moved from the 9th level to the 8th - nothing to celebrate compared to the large declines of 3 countries from the 8th to the 7th levels (Albania, Qatar, and UAE).
Maldives — 100% (2004 unknown)
Do note infiltration is not in just occupying the land, it is in being involved in government and politics as well - which is quite ironic that Islam does not recognize government per se, only the supreme rule of their religious leaders.
Which country has the highest Muslim population?
Indonesia has the highest Muslim population in the world with an estimated 231 million Muslims.
What country has the smallest population of Muslims?
Lesotho, Sao Tome and Principe, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Uruguay, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, French Polynesia, Samoa, Guam, Kiribati, Micronesia, Tonga, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands, American Samoa, the Marshall Islands, San Marino, Palau, the Cook Islands, Nauru, Wallis and Futuna, Niue, Tokelau, and Vatican City all have no Muslim population.
Among countries that do have a Muslim population, Mexico has the smallest population, with 0.01% of the total population being Muslims.
Facts Most Do Not Know Or Don’t Want To Hear
The Qur’an Is Not True To Itself
The Quran is split into 2 parts — any conflict between the 2, then whatever was written later rules
The 1st part of the Quran, Mecca, is where Muslims will point to provide evidence they are ‘Peaceful’
The 2nd part of the Quran. Medina has the deadliest adherence — this is where the radicals focus.
There are 109 verses that promote the killing of Christians, Jews, and infidels if they do not convert to Islam
As of December 2015, several colleagues and I have asked every Muslim we come across if they would deny the violence in these verses: NONE have, and most go silent, and if in person they immediately leave; if on Social Media we never cross their paths again in spite of heavy conversation with them before bringing this up.
In some ways, we can understand the silence as the radicals will come down hard on anyone who dares criticize or deny any part of the Qur’an - and that would be from very stern verbal warnings to death not only to the member in question but their family as well.
Some of those verses as well as where they can be found are provided below…
Immigration: Why Muslims Never Assimilate Into Host Countries
By the very nature of Islam, they cannot — that would place them in denial of the Quran and the Quran calls for the death of such Muslims.
They also believe every land they have stepped foot on — in the past, today, or the future — is theirs even if they are not occupying it.
They are to move to such areas and increase in number then follow their formula for taking over the sovereignty (as noted in the 8 levels noted above).
Verses Of Violence Towards Christians, Jews, Infidels
This is a listing of verses of violence in the Bukhari, Abu Dawud, Muslim, Tabari, Ibn Ishaq as well as the Quran (thanks to Jan Morgan for sharing)… All the Islam books can be found online with an English translation…
Bukhari (52:177) – Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”
Bukhari (52:256) – The Prophet… was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, “They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans).”
In this command, Muhammad establishes that it is permissible to kill non-combatants in the process of killing a perceived enemy.
This provides justification for the many Islamic terror bombings.
Bukhari (52:220) – Allah’s Apostle said… ‘I have been made victorious with terror’
Abu Dawud (14:2526) – The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Three things are the roots of faith:
to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, “There is no god but Allah” and not to declare him an unbeliever whatever sin he commits
not to excommunicate him from Islam for his actions
jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist)
Abu Dawud (14:2527) – The Prophet said: Striving in the path of Allah (jihad) is incumbent on you along with every ruler, whether he is pious or impious
Muslim (1:33) – the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah
Bukhari (8:387) – Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah
Muslim (1:149) – “Abu Dharr reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, which of the deeds is the best? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Belief in Allah and Jihad in His cause…”
Muslim (20:4645) – “…He (the Messenger of Allah) did that and said: There is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred (higher), and the elevation between one grade and the other is equal to the height of the heaven from the earth. He (Abu Sa’id) said: What is that act? He replied: Jihad in the way of Allah! Jihad in the way of Allah!”
Muslim (20:4696) – “the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: ‘One who died but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any desire (or determination) for Jihad died the death of a hypocrite.'”
Muslim (19:4321-4323) – Three separate hadith in which Muhammad shrugs over the news that innocent children were killed in a raid by his men against unbelievers. His response: “They are of them (meaning the enemy).”
Tabari 7:97 – The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, “Kill any Jew who falls under your power.”
Ashraf was a poet, killed by Muhammad’s men because he insulted Islam.
Here, Muhammad widens the scope of his orders to kill.
An innocent Jewish businessman was then slain by his Muslim partner, merely for being non-Muslim.
Tabari 9:69 “Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us” — the words of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam.
Ibn Ishaq: 327 – “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods, and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires to kill them to manifest the religion.’”
Ibn Ishaq: 990 – Lest anyone think that cutting off someone’s head while screaming ‘Allah Akbar!’ is a modern custom, here is an account of that very practice under Muhammad, who seems to approve.
Ibn Ishaq: 992 – “Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah.” Muhammad’s instructions to his men prior to a military raid.
Quran (2:191-193) – “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]… but if desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.”
There is a good case to be made that the textual context of this particular passage is defensive war, even if the historical context was not.
However, there are also two worrisome pieces to this verse.
The first is that the killing of others is authorized in the event of “persecution” (a qualification that is ambiguous at best).
The second is that fighting may persist until “religion is for Allah.”
The example set by Muhammad is not reassuring.
Quran (2:244) – “Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things.”
Quran (2:216) – “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.”
Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only for self-defense since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time.
From the Hadith, we know that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding caravans with this verse.
Quran (3:56) – “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”
Quran (3:151) – “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority”.
This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be ‘joining companions to Allah’).
Quran (4:74) – “Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him, We shall bestow a vast reward.”
The martyrs of Islam unlike the early Christians, led meekly to the slaughter.
These Muslims are killed in battle, as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah.
Here is the theological basis for today’s suicide bombers.
Quran (4:76) – “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…”
Quran (4:89) – “They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.”
Quran (4:95) – “Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-“
This passage criticizes “peaceful” Muslims (aka Peaceful Majority) who do not join in the violence, letting them know that they are less worthy in Allah’s eyes.
It also demolishes the modern myth that “Jihad” doesn’t mean holy war in the Quran, but rather a spiritual struggle.
Not only is the Arabic word used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual since the physically disabled are given an exemption.
The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind man’s protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad and this is reflected in other translations of the verse.
Quran (4:104) – “And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain…” Is pursuing an injured and retreating enemy really an act of self-defense?
Quran (5:33) – “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter, they shall have a grievous chastisement”
Quran (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”
Would any reasonable person interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle?
Quran (8:15) – “O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey’s end.”
Quran (8:39) – “And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah”
From the historical context, we know that the “persecution” spoken of here was simply the refusal by the Meccans to allow Muhammad to enter their city and perform the Haj.
Other Muslims were able to travel there, just not as an armed group since Muhammad declared war on Mecca prior to his eviction.
The Meccans were also acting in defense of their religion since it was Muhammad’s intention to destroy their idols and establish Islam by force (which he later did).
Hence the critical part of this verse is to fight until “religion is only for Allah.”
According to Ibn Ishaq (324), Muhammad justified the violence further by explaining that “Allah must have no rivals.”
Quran (8:57) – “If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember.”
Quran (8:59-60) – “And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah’s Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy.”
Quran (8:65) – “O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight…”
Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.”
According to this verse, the best way to stay safe from Muslim violence is to convert to Islam.
Prayer (salat) and the poor tax (zakat) are among the religion’s Five Pillars.
Quran (9:14) – “Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace…”
Quran (9:20) – “Those who believe, and have left their homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in Allah’s way are of much greater worth in Allah’s sight. These are they who are triumphant.” — the “striving” spoken of here is Jihad.
Quran (9:29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
“People of the Book” refers to Christians and Jews.
This was one of the final “revelations” from Allah and it set in motion the tenacious military expansion, in which Muhammad’s companions managed to conquer two-thirds of the Christian world in just the next 100 years.
Islam is intended to dominate all other people and faiths.
Quran (9:30) – “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!”
Quran (9:38-39) – “O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.”
This is a warning to those who refuse to fight, that they will be punished with Hell.
Quran (9:41) – “Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew.” See also the verse that follows (9:42) – “If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without a doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them”
This contradicts the myth that Muslims are to fight only in self-defense since the wording implies that battle will be waged a long distance from home (in another country and on Christian soil, in this case, according to historians).
Quran (9:73) – “O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them, and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.”
Dehumanizing those who reject Islam, by reminding Muslims that they are merely firewood for Hell, makes it easier to justify slaughter.
It also explains why today’s devout Muslims have little regard for those outside the faith.
Quran (9:88) – “But the Messenger, and those who believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper.”
Quran (9:111) – “Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Quran: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.”
Quran (9:123) – “O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.”
Quran (18:65-81) – This parable lays the theological groundwork for honor killings, in which a family member is murdered because they brought shame to the family, either through apostasy or perceived moral indiscretion. The story, which is not found in any Jewish or Christian source, tells of Moses encountering a man with “special knowledge” who does things that don’t seem to make sense on the surface but are then justified according to later explanation. One such action is to murder a youth for no apparent reason (74). However, the wise man later explains that it was feared that the boy would “grieve” his parents by “disobedience and ingratitude.” He was killed so that Allah could provide them with a ‘better’ son.
Quran (21:44) – “We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?”
Quran (25:52) – “Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness…”
“Strive against” is Jihad – obviously not in the personal context. It’s also significant to point out that this is a Meccan verse.
Quran (33:60-62) – “If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it but a little while. Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter.”
This passage sanctions the slaughter (rendered “merciless” and “horrible murder” in other translations) against three groups:
Hypocrites (Muslims who refuse to “fight in the way of Allah” (3:167) and hence don’t act as Muslims should)
Those with “diseased hearts” (which include Jews and Christians 5:51-52), and
“alarmists” or “agitators who include those who merely speak out against Islam, according to Muhammad’s biographers
It is worth noting that the victims are to be sought out by Muslims, which is what today’s terrorists do.
If this passage is meant merely to apply to the city of Medina, then it is unclear why it is included in Allah’s eternal word to Muslim generations.
Quran (47:3-4) – “Those who reject Allah follow vanities, while those who believe follow the truth from their lord. Thus does Allah set forth from men their lessons by similitudes. Therefore when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners,”
Those who reject Allah are to be subdued in battle.
The verse goes on to say the only reason Allah doesn’t do the dirty work himself is order to test the faithfulness of Muslims.
Those who kill pass the test.
“But if it had been Allah’s Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.”
Quran (47:35) – “Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost (Shakir: “have the upper hand”) for Allah is with you,”
This very important verse asserts that the Religion of Peace is not to grant peace to the broader society until Islamic rule has been established.
Quran (48:17) – “There is no blame for the blind, nor is there blame for the lame, nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; and whoso turneth back, him will He punish with a painful doom.”
Contemporary apologists sometimes claim that Jihad means ‘spiritual struggle.’
If so, then why are the blind, lame, and sick exempted?
Quran (48:29) – “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves”
Islam is not about treating everyone equally.
There are 2 very distinct standards that are applied based on religious status.
Quran (61:4) – “Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way” Religion of Peace, indeed! This is followed by (61:9): “He it is who has sent His Messenger (Mohammed) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam) to make it victorious over all religions even though the infidels may resist.”
Quran (61:10-12) – “O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty?- That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you if ye but knew! He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity.”
This verse was given in battle — it uses the Arabic word, Jihad.
Quran (66:9) – “O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey’s end.”
The root word of “Jihad” is used again here.
The context is clearly holy war, and the scope of violence is broadened to include “hypocrites” – those who call themselves Muslims but do not act as such.
There are 164 verses documented and explained here (archive) which focus primarily on Jihad, provided by the Answering Islam website (archive) that exposes and explains where the Muslim faith misses the mark.
The most obvious missed marks are these…
In the Bible of the Jewish and Christian faiths, God is always reaching out to man. In all other faiths, especially Islam, man is always reaching out for a god.
Only the One True God, observed by the Christians and Jews, can save people - with gods of all other faiths, man is left to save himself.
After lives are believed in both, only one faith has had its spiritual leader rise from and conquer death — this is documented not only in the Bible but in more than 25,000 historical documents from the 1st and 2nd centuries…
