The Qur’an speaks of Jihad (holy war) many times. “To participate in Jihad in Allah’s cause” Al Bukhari vol 1:25 and “During the last days there will appear some young foolish people, who will say the best words, but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will leave the faith) and will go out from their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.” Bukhari vol. 9 no. 64 (italics mine)
Sura 8:57 “So if you gain mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.”
“Allah has given those that fight with their goods and their persons a higher tank than those who stay at home…The unbelievers are your sworn enemies…Seek out your enemies relentlessly….You shall not plead for traitors…Allah does not love the treacherous or the sinful.” (Dawood, Koran, pp. 367-68)
Sura 66:9 “O Prophet! Make war on the infidels and hypocrites, and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their abode! And wretched the passage to it.” I imagine that the passage (to either heaven or hell) for the people who jumped from the Twin Towers’ 87th floor, or burned to death in a puddle of jet fuel was quite wretched indeed.
Again, let me clearly state that all Muslims are NOT terrorists. But many terrorists are Muslim. The Qur’an tells Muslims that the only SURE way to paradise is to die in a Jihad. (Sura 9:111)
“God hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs 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 Qur’an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than God? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.” Sura 3:157
“And if you are slain, or die in the way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all they could amass.” Al-Imran 3:157
I could go on and on and on. I hope by now you get the point. Much of the Qur’an and the Christian Bible are diametrically opposed; you cannot be both Muslim and Christian. Jesus teaches to turn the other cheek, not retaliate. God tells us to live in peace as long as it is with us. He commands us NOT to kill.
The Qur’an spews violence and hatred in parts, and instructs its followers (Muslims) to participate in Jihad (holy war) and kill anyone who does not believe the same as they do. AND THIS IS THE BOOK THE PRESIDENT TOUTS AS HOLY AND QUOTES FROM WHEN HE IS SPEAKING IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. If that does not strike fear in your heart, you better go to the doctor to make sure you still have a pulse.
So where does Israel fit into this whole picture? Remember the story of Abraham and Sarah in the Bible? God told Abraham he would be the father of many nations. He told Sarah she was going to have a baby….when she was already 90 years old. Sarah got tired of waiting on the Lord, and told her husband to sleep with her maid, Hagar. Hagar bore a son, Ishmael. Sarah became insanely jealous of Hagar and made Abraham send her and her son away. While she was hiding, an angel came and told Hagar that her son would “live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
Sarah eventually has Isaac, and God’s promise is fulfilled. Abraham, whose descendants would outnumber the stars, began with Isaac. Genesis 15 :17-21 speaks of the covenant God made with Abraham. "When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces. On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates- the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites."
Today, the nation of Israel is the descendants of Isaac. "Canaan (Kanaʻn; Hebrew: כְּנָעַן Kənáʻan; Arabic: كنعان Kanʻān) is an ancient term for a region encompassing modern-day Israel, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories and adjoining coastal lands, including parts of Jordan, Syria and northeastern Egypt. (www.wikipedia.com)."
So Israel, as a nation today, has the Biblical right to all of these areas.
The Arab nations surrounding her (parts of Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia) are descendants of Ishmael. And has there not been hostility between the two?
Israel has the LEGAL right to the land as well: "The land was also given to the Jews by the Law of nations:
1878 - Following the Russian/Turkish war, the Berlin Congress of Nations gave full civil rights to the Jews of Palestine.
1917 - When British Forces took Palestine during the World War I, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration which brought forth the concept of a homeland for the Jews.
1922 - The mandate for Palestine was granted to Britain at a meeting of the Allied Supreme Council in San Remo, April 1920.Note: The separation of Transjordan from the terms of the Mandate by Britain in 1922/23 was an illegal act and was in contravention of the agreement of the mandate Article 5. Britain also broke the terms of the agreement (Article 5) in forbidding a Jewish settlement in Transjordan.
1947 - The UN voted for a partition of the land of Palestine between the Jews and the Arabs. 1948 - Israel was accepted into full membership of the UN." (Bless Israel)
God told Israel in Ezekiel 36:22-24
"Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes. " 'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land."
And what happens to the nations that interfere with Israel's possession of her land?
1 "In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, (not IF, WHEN.)
2 I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Joel 3:1-2
Just because President Obama is making the wrong decisions doesn't mean WE as the nation of America will get away scot free. On the contrary. The passage in Joel doesn't say that the leaders of those nations will be judged, but the nations themselves will be judged. We need to take control of our government by standing up and making known OUR opinions. Let them here YOUR voice. Write the White House. Call you Congressman. Pray, Pray and Pray some more. This country will face the wrath of God. Not if, but when.

Obama, Islam, and Israel Part Two
So say President Obama IS Muslim. What’s so bad about being Muslim anyway? In and of itself, (other than my personal belief that there is only one way to heaven, through Jesus Christ, and that the only God is the God of the Bible)…nothing.
Let’s be very clear about one thing: Not all Muslims are terrorists. I am not attacking the “religion” of Islam; if someone wants to be a Muslim that is their personal choice. I am calling out Mubarack Hussein Obama, and his deception of the American people. This is about a cunning, conniving, and yes I’ll say it, evil presence that has set up House…in White.
Out of one side of his mouth, Obama promises that everything will be better. He has claimed in the past to be a Christian. Read this information, and see if you believe him:
President Obama regales Muslims as excelling in art, and sports. He points out that Muslims have won Nobel Peace Prizes (yes, but so did he…or maybe that’s what he meant!) He also told us, in his official capacity, that Muslims built our tallest building. How about the TWO tall buildings that they demolished with airplanes, killing thousands of men, women and children? How can he possibly gloss over that?
As I stated above, not all Muslims are terrorists, to be sure. However, MOST terrorists are Muslim. ALL NINETEEN terrorists involved in the attacks on the Twin Towers were Muslim.
Obama said, “Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism, it is part of promoting peace.” Seriously? Were you ON the planet during September 11th, 2001?
What?
He is going to “work with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill Zakah, [which is their charitable giving done once a year.] (This is one of the five pillars of Islam which in and of themselves seem harmless.) I don't hear him promising he's going to worh with Christians to ensure that laws benefit givers.
Obama also told the American people that “It is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit.” I kid you not. Have you ever heard our fearless leader defend any other religion which such veracity? As they see fit??
Well, let’s check out this religion that we are to let Muslims “practice as they see fit.”
The Qur’an is the holy book of Islam, like the Bible is the Holy Book (for real) of Christianity. The Qur’an says that Muslims should not START with hostility, but “the one who attacks you, you attack him in like manner….whoso defendeth himself after he hath suffered wrong, there is no way [blame] against them.”
Wow. So if I feel wronged (someone cuts me off in traffic, maybe?) I am free to retaliate any way “I see fit” if I am Muslim.
Mohammed (the last and seemingly most important prophet of Islam) said “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.” -Hadith Al Buhkari v.9:57
Here is something Muslims may "see fit" to do, from the Qur’an, (Sura 9:5, 29 and 41) “Slay the idolaters [non-Muslims] wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush (9-11?). Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the last Day….Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah!”
Sura 4:101-102 says, “When ye travel through the earth, there is not blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies. For the Unbelievers, Allah has prepared a humiliating punishment.”
I want to make sure this is clear: ANY Unbeliever, Jew, Christian, whatever, is an infidel and to be treated as described in the Qur'an.
One translation of Sura 8:59-60 states: “The infidels [unbelievers in Allah] should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them.” That is pretty clear, and pretty frightening.
It is important to note that devout Muslims will claim that because the Qur’an is written in Arabic, we cannot understand it, therefore our English translations can’t be accurate. However, the translations were done by Muslims who speak Arabic AND English. Do you really think they would make translation errors in the negative toward Islam? Highly unlikely.
Tomorrow's post will be more from the Qur'an, Obama's quotes about Islam and being Muslim, and about how Israel fits into all of this. Have a blessed week!
