Islam: Spawned in Hell

Anyone who believes that all religions are the same or compatible are dangerously deceived. Concepts such as interfaith, pluralism, and religious diversity have been embraced with dangerous spiritual consequences. Our nation has been battling Islam since 1801 when the First Barbary War was fought. In fact we have a monument in Annapolis, Maryland in honor of those who died during that war. However, the battle against Islam will never be won with snipers, bombs, and military might, but only by the blood of Christ. America and the world want to label ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and other Muslim groups as radical or extremists, but are they truly radical? Like any subject or issue, one must consult and properly interpret the source of which a group derives their beliefs.

For the Muslim, there are three sources, the Sunnah, the Hadith, and most importantly the Qur’an. The Sunnah is the authority for Sharia Law and for all legal rulings among Islamic states, the Hadith narrates the life of Muhammad and describes to the Muslim how they are to live every part of their life, and of course the Qur’an is their so-called revelation from Allah.

It is essential to understand that a Muslim can’t even understand the Qur’an without understanding the Sunnah and the Hadith. It’s also essential to understand that Islam teaches that the Qur’an is an exact word-for-word copy of Allah’s final revelation. But for the purpose of this short article I will only examine what the Qur’an says about jihad and killing infidels (non-believers in Islam).

A faithful Muslim is actually what the media labels a “radical or extremist.” A “radical” Muslim is only seeking to obey the teachings set forth from their sacred books and their prophet Muhammad. A Muslim who engages in jihad (warfare or struggle against those who refuse to convert to the Islam) is obeying the teachings of the Qur’an and the Hadith. Here is the proof in the Qur’an:

Sura 3:85 –“If anyone desires a religion other that Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him”

Sura 4:89 – “…until they flee in the way of Allah (from what is forbidden) and turn as renegades, seize them and slay them wherever you find them.”

Sura 4:101 – “For unbelievers are unto you an open enemy”

Sura 4:102 – “For the unbelievers Allah hath prepared a humiliating punishment”

Sura 4:13-18 – “…when you meet the unbelievers in hostile array…it is not you who slew them’ it was Allah.”

Sura 9:29 – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor in the last day”

Sura 9:30 – “…the Christians call Christ the Son of God…Allah’s curse be on them.”

…and what about those who die in jihad fighting for the advancement and cause of Islam?

Sura 4:74 – Let those fight in the cause of Allah, who sell the life of this world for the hereafter….in the cause of Allah, whether he is slain or get victory soon shall we give him a reward of great value.

While the grammar of the Quran is poor, the suras are clear; jihad is encouraged and commanded by Allah. In summary, any Muslim not striving for jihad is not obeying the Qur’an. It’s like a liberal Christian who refuses to obey the Bible or view it as inerrant and authoritative. Faithful Muslims believe in the words of the Qur’an and although they certainly do not obey it all, they take very serious the suras which command them to fight for Allah and kill the infidels (Christians and Jews).
