We are told by those in the media that Islam is a religion of peace. According to them, there is a good Islam which is open and tolerant and a evil fundamentalist Islam which is rigid and violent. The problem isn't fundamentalist Islam, it is Islam. Since it’s inception this counterfeit religion has spread by unbridled force and discriminatory laws that have humiliated and broken all who have stood in its way. The Koran, Islam's holy book, not only incites violence but mandates it’s followers to kill and subjugate all non Muslims. "Fight against those to whom the Scriptures were given [Jew & Christians] as believe in neither God nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and his apostle have forbidden, and do not embrace the true Faith, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued." (Koran 9:28) “slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them." (Koran 9:5) and “make war on the unbelievers.” (Koran 66:9) The true colors of Islam have been hidden from the people in the West. The general public has conveniently never been told that Muhammad was a warlord that planned 65 military campaigns and personally led 27. That he practice and encouraged war and mass murder as is evident in his own words sited in the Koran. “When we decide to destroy a population, we send a definite order to them who have the good things in life a yet transgress; so that Allah’s word is proved true against them: then we destroy them utterly.” (Koran 17:16-17)
After the truth of Muhammad’s personal lust for conquest is brought to the forefront Islamic apologists and self hating westerners will always then bring up the Crusades as proof positive of the West and Christianity's unprovoked assaults against their imaginary peaceful Islam. Unfortunately some atrocities did occur during the Crusades on behalf of both side, but far from being wars of aggression, the Crusades were a belated military responses to over three centuries of continual Muslim attacks against Christian countries and pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. History also shows that the Crusades as a whole were failures and temporary setbacks to Islamic expansion. What most people in the West also don’t know is the overwhelming majority of Christians did not live in Europe before Muhammad's birth, but that all changed under a systematic and ruthless series of Jhiads, Islamic Holy Wars, that crushed and subjugated two thirds of the Christian world and almost conquered Europe on numerous occasions.
Islam's major offensives against Christendom in the past are well documented but either are ignored or have been forgotten by our sound byte society. In 711, the Muslim commander named Tariq landed on the Spanish soil with his invading army. By 712, his forces had penetrated deep into Christian Spain and proceeded to crush the Spanish kingdom. It must be noted that Islamic forces occupied Spain for over 700 years. This Islamic invasion continued into France and Tariq boasted that his army would continue onto Rome where they would stable their horses in St. Peter’s, but fortunately Charles Martel, the king of France, defeated the Moors at the battle of Tours thus saving whole of Europe and the Vatican. In 846, Muslim raiders attacked the outlying areas of Rome, the center of western Christianity. This act would be comparable to Christians attacking Mecca , something they have never done. The great Christian empire of Byzantium which spanned from north Africa throughout Asia Minor and with it’s magnificent capitol of Constantinople was sacked in 1453 and is still ruled by Mohammedan law to his day. The conquest of Byzantium allowed the Muslim Turks to launch wave after wave of assaults upon Eastern Europe. On October 7, 1571, all of Christendom prayed the rosary at the request of Pope Pius V as an outnumbered Catholic naval force went to engage an Islamic armada at the battle of Loerrto. Thanks to the prayers of the faithful and Our Lady of the Rosary the armada was routed. Finally, the momentous battle was fought between Roman Catholic and Mohammedan forces in the year 1683. The city of Vienna and the whole of Catholic Europe stood to be invaded by insurmountable Muslim army lead by Grand Vizier Kara Mustapha of Turkey. The Turkish troops surrounded the gates of Vienna and laid siege. On September 11, 1683 a decisive battle was fought before the city walls. Poland's great military leader, and later king, John Sobieski came to Christendom’s aid by routing and driving the Islamic invaders from Europe. He sent to Pope Innocent XI a letter that proclaimed, “Veni, vidi, Deus vicit” (I came, I saw, God conquered). The attack of September 11, 2001 occurred on the same day that John Sobieski defeated the Mohammedans in 1683. Was it coincidence or maybe revenge?
After Communism, the ideology that has killed and persecuted the most Christians in the 20th century has been Islam. The secular media has hidden the carnage from the eyes of the public in order to promote their sanitized image of this violent religion. One will never hear or read about how Muslim forces in the country of Sudan methodically massacred three million Christians in the late 1990’s or how Indonesia’s Islamic government headed by president Suharto murdered two hundred thousand followers of Christ in 1989. The atrocities and persecutions against Christians by the followers of Muhammad are seldom reported and if so are soon discounted. It is sad that in this time of rampant victimology, the media has made the choice that the persecution of Christ’s disciples is a taboo subject.
