Christianity and Islam: Mohammed the Terrorist

This article is the third in a multipart series appearing in this space. Other installments focus on the failure of Islam in society, Islam's false claims, and why Muslims are the enemies of Christians.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits... Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit." 
                                                                          -- Matthew 7:15-17

As Jesus taught in the above-referenced passage, false prophets are known by their bad fruit. The fruit of Mohammed the false prophet is  a legacy of terrorism throughout the world that no amount of diplomacy will quell.

Jihad is the duty of Muslims to fight against "people of the book" (Jews and Christians) in an effort to force them to convert to Islam.¹ It is the driving force behind the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, as well as the relentless attacks against Israeli civilians by various terrorist groups led by PLO Chairman Arafat. Jihad is not merely an aberrant policy held by a few extremists, but a well-entrenched element of Islamic culture and belief that was practiced by Mohammed himself.

Mohammed, born into a humble family in Mecca, Saudi Arabia in 570 A.D., and was orphaned at the age of six. He married into a wealthy family, which enabled him to withdraw into a cave near Mecca for an extended time of meditation. During this time, he supposedly heard the voice of the angel Gabriel. He began writing rhymed prose, which  he claimed to be a miracle, as he was unschooled.

He started teaching that there is only one God, but when he was besieged in Mecca by local polytheists, he agreed that the three goddesses of Mecca were genuine. After the siege was lifted, Mohammed changed his mind, claiming that Gabriel had told him that the earlier revelation about the goddesses had come from Satan.²

Under fire again, he escaped Mecca and came to Medina (the "city of the prophet"), where he soon established himself as a political leader. At this time he married about a dozen more wives, including a married woman named Zeineb, with whom he had committed adultery, and a nine-year old child named Ayeshah, who ultimately became his spokesperson.

To support himself and his followers, he robbed caravans,  the beginning of a series of armed conflicts in which Mohammed grew in military might and cruelty. When the Jews of Medina rejected him, he dealt with them severely. He confiscated all of the property of the Kainoka tribe, enslaved the women, and expelled the men from the land. The Koraidha fared worse, as "seven hundred Jews were dragged in chains to the market-place of the city; they descended alive into the grave prepared for their execution and burial; and the apostle [Mohammed] beheld with an inflexible eye the slaughter of his helpless enemies."³

He later made a treaty with his enemies from Mecca, but soon abrogated it by returning to Mecca two years later to conquer it, destroy its famed sanctuary, and establish his own "sacred area," which exists to this day.

Mohammed taught, "The sword is the key of heaven and of hell: a drop of blood shed in the cause of God, a night spent in arms, is of more avail than two months of fasting or prayer: whosoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven; at the day of judgment his wounds shall be resplendent as vermilion, and odoriferous as musk; and the loss of his limbs shall be supplied by the wings of angels and cherubim."³ He also taught that every true (male) believer would one day receive in heaven 72 black-eyed virgin girls for his eternal bliss, accompanied by orgasms that last 1,000 years, and 100 times their mortal sexual prowess.

[Mohammed died and was buried in Medina in 632. More than a century later, a story arose that Mohammed had ascended into heaven from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which story Muslims accept as true.]

Mohammed's successor's have continued in his legacy of violence and cruelty to this day. Muslim regimes consistently demonstrate their hatred, intolerance, and cruelty toward Christians and Jews, whether it be in Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Palestine, Indonesia, Mauritania, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Somalia, Turkey, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Bangladesh, or Brunei. To them, persecution and terrorism are official policy.

They will not stop until either they or their enemies have been destroyed.
