The Real Holy War

By Douglas V. Gibbs

"Jihad" to Islam is holy. Jihad is an act of worship, and one of the supreme forms of devotion to Allah in the Muslim worldview. Jihad is also to Muslims a religious duty, because it is Islam's mission, and Muslim obligation, to convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion, or by force. Through Jihad the church and state unites. Through Jihad the spiritual yearning for a caliphate, and the means through a government and military authority, are united.(1)

Jihad is a holy war fought from the position of "offense." Jihad is a "noble war" in the minds of the Muslims, and therefore is a Holy War that must be fought as an offensive war.(2) Jihad is specifically to be used to advance the "glory of Allah" through the sword.

Jihad to Islam is obligatory, and is to be used to attack unbelievers for the purpose of converting them to Islam, by persuasion or by force.(3)

"O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him." (Koran 9:123)

Allah commands the believers to fight the disbelievers.

There is no comparable concept of this line of thinking in Christianity. "The Great Commission" is the opportunity to share the "good news" of Christ with unbelievers. The gift of sharing the news of the Messiah is done from a standpoint of love, for without Christ, the unbelievers will perish in their sin. Ultimately, however, Christianity teaches that salvation is a personal, individual decision that is between the person, and God.

The difference between Islam and Christianity is as glaring as the difference between Collectivism and Individualism, and as obvious as the difference between slavery and liberty.

While Christianity teaches that Jesus died on the Cross at Calvary for their sins, Islam teaches one must die in the cause of Allah as an assurance of salvation and entry into paradise. Islam is a corruption of Biblical teachings, proclaiming that it is the martyr that must atone for his own sins.

Islam is simply following Muhammad's example and teachings; Muhammad wanted to be a savior. And for following the perverse teachings of Muhammad, the prize for salvation is sexual perversity in the Islamic Heaven. Sheikh Abd Al Fattah Jam'an speaking to Muslims in Palestine stated: "What is waiting for the suicide bomber in paradise is a harem of beautiful virgins who are delicate and pure, esthetic, passive, with no personality or self or ego, whose only role is to sexually satisfy the shahid and be ever ready to fulfill his desires."(4) The sexual reward of 72 virgins is but the tip of the iceberg. In addition to the "Bosomed virgins for companions" (Koran 78:31), virgins that are bashful and undefiled by man or demon, the Muslim paradise also appeals to the more perverse desires of homosexuality and pedophilia. The Muslim paradise holds in abundance "angels and young boys (handsome) as pearls well guarded." (Koran 52:24)

Some delights don't have to wait until Paradise.

"Forbidden to you also are married women, except those who are in your hand as slaves, this is the law of Allah for you" (Sura 4:24).

Muhammad married many wives, and took several slave girls from the booty he collected from his victorious battles.

Christians express they are sinners, while Islamists express they keep a "holier" lifestyle than the corrupt West.

Therefore, they use Jihad to convert, or eliminate, the opposition.

To soften the blow, Islam proclaims that Jihad simply means inner struggle. Problem is, that party-line peace-offering is unheard of outside the West. The definition is nowhere to be found in Islam. Although the word standing by itself means "struggle," one must ask, "Struggle with what?"(5)

Jihad is fueling the growing hatred against non-Muslims. Growing anti-Semitic and anti-Christian attitudes are evident when one considers that Turkey's best selling books are Adolph Hitler's Mein Kampf, and "Attack on the Pope: Who will Kill the Pope in Istanbull?"(6)

Jesus made it clear that in the End-Times deceivers would emerge claiming to be the Messiah, or a prophet, leading many astray. We are presently experiencing in the Muslim World the cry for Mahdi, and the rise of a caliphate movement. The call for a unified Islamic coalition ruled by an Islamic dictator is now quickly becoming a reality, as evidenced by Turkey's move to Islamic radicalism, and the recent uprisings in "moderate" Muslim nations that are opening up the opportunity for extremism to gain a foothold in those countries as well. As the people cry out for peace and safety, the Islamists are watching for the "emergence of [Allah's] last repository, the promised one, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace."(7)

The Islamists are searching for their Mahdi to come and destroy their opposition so that Islam may rule worldwide.

Donald Rumsfeld has been quoted as saying that "Weakness is a provocation."(8) This is especially true when dealing with Islamic jihad. The belief is that when the process jihad becomes difficult, Allah's will is for the Muslims to draw back. Weakness by the enemy emboldens the jihadists, because it must be Allah's will to push forward toward victory against the infidels when they act weak. Therefore, weakness, as has been portrayed by the Obama administration, provokes Islam to wage jihad.

As for the belief that the jihadists are a minority of radical Muslims, one must understand that Muslims regard themselves as members of the ummah, or community of believers, that forms the heart of Islam.(9) Muslims view any opposition against Islam, be it the U.S. led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, or the mere disapproval of Islam that includes the willingness to refuse conversion to Islam, as a war on Islam. Between December 9, 2006 and February 15, 2007 The University of Maryland conducted a face-to-face survey of 4,384 Muslims, and found that 65.2% desired "To unify all Islamic countries into a single Islamic state or Caliphate, including 49% of 'moderate' Indonesian Muslims. 65.5% of this Muslim sample approved the proposition "To require a strict application of Sharia law in every Islamic country"(10). That is two-thirds of the Muslims surveyed!

How many times have you heard that most of the Muslims of the world are moderate and are not a threat to the West? How many times have you heard that we only need to worry about a small minority?

A Muslim caliphate is the goal. Without a caliphate, a genuinely sanctioned pan-Islamic jihad is not possible.

Meanwhile, the holy war against Christianity is not only one of genocide in Africa, but also by infiltrating the Christian church wherever possible. The Bible makes it very clear that in the End-Times there will be a "great apostasy." My article on "Chrislam" recently partly explores the deception inside the church where Christian pastors are actually welcoming Islam into a partnership with Christianity (11). Also, one must consider the dramatic strides Islam has taken as a result of the 9-11 attacks. Rather than undermining Islam's proselytizing, the attacks actually encouraged conversion to Islam. And what's worse, The Times of London, January 7, 2002, reported that a surge in conversions to Islam since September 11 across Europe and America experienced a tenfold increase, and over 80% of American converts to Islam were raised in a Christian Church (12).

In the United States, American Muslims are concentrated in the larger metropolitan centers, and it is estimated that by the year 2020, most American urban centers will be predominantly Muslim (13).

The growth of Islam is currently, primarily due to birthrate, much faster than that of Christianity. Bandwagon conversions of Westerners and the resulting confusion among faithful Christians is becoming the rule of the day. What Communism was to the twentieth century, Islam will be for the next hundred years (14).

Islam is drunk with hatred and rage, and those feelings have been instilled in the Muslims since birth. The Holy War is real because they have decided to wage it. The followers of Muhammad are eager to fulfill the "prophet's" prophecy in which the Holy Land is to be recaptured by Islam, and the Jews are eliminated in a massive final slaughter. (prophecies found in the Sahih Hadith)

Jihad is the Real Holy War, which is fueled by Muhammad's grand plan, where Islam would gain the final victory over the Jews and finally, without any obstacles, rule the world. Their reality of Jihad is clear. . .

- No peace or negotiations
- Blood and Souls sacrificed to Allah
- Death to the Zionists

The Islamo-Nazi brainwashing has created a culture of jihad. Terror is the goal, and jihad is the means - all in order to earn Allah's favor. Muhammad was a conquerer, and the Muslims are taught to emulate him in every way. He is their prophet, and it is from him that Muslims learned to hate Jews, hate Christians, and to wage jihad.

We didn't start it, but a real holy war is being waged, and Islam will not stop until it is finished.

So we have two choices. Fight on our feet, or live on our knees. Any other choice is rapidly becoming nothing more than a footnote in history.
