   Islam A Peaceful Religion ?
    Or
   Islam A Violent Religion ?

The religion know as Islam ( Followers of Muhammad Born 569 ) has come to the forefront of conversations, News, and War against its followers ( Extremist ) on a World Wide Scale. The reason is because over 4 thousand people were Savagely Murdered, and used as living human missiles in planes to destroy the two twin towers on American Soil, September 11, 2001. The Islam followers ( called extremist ) were mostly all from Saudi Arabia, The same country were the city of mecca is, and the Home Arab Tribe of Muhammad ( Born 569 ) of which he killed 600 of the 900 Arab people that lived there.

Muhammad claimed he was the prophet of Allah , established the religion of Islam and belief of muslims now written down in their book called the Quran ( Koran ). Although Muhammad never learned to read or write, people wrote down what he claimed, he was told by messages from Allah. According to reports there are more than one version of what he said, which shows the writers disagree on what Muhammad actually said, reports say they burned some writings because they decided they didn't approve of them.

He became the leader and founder of over one billion followers of Islam in the present day world. In the Quran, The god Muhammad speaks of, is not the same God Taught in the Holy Bible. The god Muhammad refers to, is different than the God, the Holy Bible tells Christians about. Which means that the god of Muhammad ( Allah ) and the Quran, is not the same God that is and taught in the Holy Bible and excepted by Jews and Christians the world over.

The Holy Bible dates back to egyptian times with the writing of Moses when he wrote the first five books of the Old Testament. The world has proven the truth and dependability of the Holy Bible and it has survived all the test and trials to show it is infallible, even in todays world.

 If a man named Muhammad wanted to start his own belief or religion in these end times, thats ok I suppose, he certainly acquired a lot of followers. Anybody in this present age could do as Muhammad did and start their own religion too, nobody is forced to believe the Holy Bible. After all, some people will fall for anything.

Muhammad  Rejected Jesus as the Son Of God, Rejected Jesus was ever Crucified, Rejected Jesus was the Creator of Everything. Muhammad  provided his own version of sins forgiven to the world. Muhammad  now appears in the world some 600 years after Jesus and says that Allah has told him all this information that has established the religion of Islam and written in the book , Quran ( Koran ).

The Holy Bible covers over thousands of years and had many writers, and has proven itself to be infallible, Muhammad has condemmed, as full of mistakes, so you can't believe it. But now by the actions and word of Muhammad alone that he has talked to a new god named Allah ( The Holy Bible Has No record Of ), Muhammad has set a new religion into action, that is against Jews and Christians. Which is in opposition to the Teachings of the Holy Bible that was for Jews and Christians and all other people were considered lost and children of the devil.

I guess one must consider that God would of had to made some drastic changes in what he had to say in the Holy Bible about mankind, and how he wants people to live, relating to Jews and Christians and the Non-Christian,  if Muhammad is to be right. Or a person must say that we must throw the Holy Bible in the trash if we are to believe Muhammad, and his new Quran.

BRIEF MUSLIM HISTORY

A.D. 610: Mohammed claims to be God's prophet and founds the religion of
Islam based on his claim to receive a new revelation of Scripture which he called
the Quran.

622: Mohammed fled persecution by fellow Arabs in Mecca and went to
Medina. His flight is known as the Hijira ("migration"). He won over the
people of Medina, raised an army and returned to Mecca in 630, killing 600
of the 900 men of his Qurash (Arab) tribe.

630: Muslim conquest of Mecca and the Arabian Peninsula. This conquest
(called jihad) later spread to the Middle East, North Africa, Iran and
Turkey.

632: Mohammed died in Medina of a fever at age 63. His tomb is there to
this day.

638: Muslim conquest of Jerusalem (6 years after Mohammed's death)

691: Dome of the Rock built on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Al Aksa
Mosque also built at that time.

This excerpt above from one source reveals some of the life and actions of Muhammad, to establish written proof of the following statements. This article is provided not to weigh Muhammads good points verses his bad points, or to judge him. The question is whether Islam is a peaceful religion or a violent religion. The question may possibly be answered in whether Muhammad was a violent man or a peaceful man.

In order to compare a person or decide if a person is peaceful, we must decide who a peaceful person is? To the Christian world, Jesus is the example of a peaceful man, so we will use him as our standard of a peaceful man.The only violent thing I recall Jesus ever did was turn a table over in a synagog because they were using the house of God for a business, I'm not sure one would even consider his action violent, but just anger. To the Christian world Jesus is known as the Messiah, Son Of God, Soon Coming King, and Savior. Because Jesus was Crucified on the Cross at Calvery for the Worlds Sins and through Jesus Atonement, By Repentance, Faith, and Gods Grace, Sinners are Forgiven of their Sins and will spend eternity with God in Heaven.

The rumor we keep hearing and reading is that Islam is peaceful. Present day events and Historically that does not seem to support that view. In fact it appears to be just the opposite. we keep hearing Islam is peaceful and there are some murderous savages that have hijacked their religion. In actuality islam must be a violent religion, with some peaceful followers in it. If we start with its founder Muhammad,  and now with some one billion followers all teaching the same.

With over one billion Islam followers teaching Muhammads teachings and denying Jesus. If anybody says anything even a little bad about Muhammad, his life is threatened and Islam hitmen are after you, Does this sound Peaceful? But if you read the writing from Muhammad, he seems to teach his followers to do just that.

 Excerpt below;

“The Resurrection of the dead will not come until the Muslims will war with the Jews and the Muslims will kill them. The trees and rocks will say, ‘O Muslim, here is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.” (Mohammad in the Hadith)

“Muslims, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. Allah does not guide the wrongdoers.” (Surah 5:51)

“Those who make war against Allah and His apostle Mohammad and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or banished from the land.” (Surah 5:33-34)

“Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.” (Surah 9:73)

“When the sacred months are over, slay the idolators wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.” (Surah 9:5)

Muhammad himself showed his violent life by how he dominated  people. When Muhammad  was around 40 years old he started the Islam religion.  Muhammad started his religion in Saudi Arabia in Mecca.  Muhammad and his Quran in 622, was  rejected as gods messenger and prophet  by the Arab people and driven away from there. So Muhammad raised an army returned to Mecca and killed 600 of the 900 of his own Qurash ( Arab ) tribe in the year 630. This Muslim conquest of Mecca was called jihad. Mecca was covered in Arab Blood by the Army of  Muhammad.

It was standard practice, and made legal by Muhammad, to take as a “wife” in addition to captives, the wives of men killed in battle (or executed). On one occasion when Muhammad launched an attack on a Jewish tribe he personally witnessed their beheading and then took some of their widows to bed. Semitic scholar and historian A.B. Davidson (a professor at New College, Edinburgh) recorded one such instance:

“On one day he caused 800 Jews to be beheaded in cold blood, himself standing by and watching the butchery; and in the evening, to efface the unpleasant impression from his mind, and give a more happy turn to his ideas, he took home the wife of one of the murdered chiefs, and added her to his harem.”

Does this sound like a peaceful religion or even a peaceful prophet of god. We are told they are peaceful, but they demonstrate violence. The only religion connected to violence world wide is Islam. There may be some peaceful people in Islam, but Islam appears a violent religion, starting with its founder, Muhammad. these people are murdering people all over the world, committing suicide and killing themselves and other people. They are sending themselves to hell according to Christian teaching, but to heaven according to Muhammad.

In Nigeria a journalist is running for his life after mentioning something about Muhammad wanting one of the beauty contestants.

 * Mohammed is estimated by scholars to have had somewhere
between 15-25 wives. All agree that he had 9 wives at the time of his death
(5 more than the Quran permits for other Muslims)!

Muhammad apparently liked his women according to the evidence, even marrrying one as young as a 9 year old litttle girl. but these peaceful Islam followers in Nigeria exploded, and as a result of their peaceful action over 200 dead are in their graves, along with churchs destroyed among other things. Does this reaction mean Muhammad liked ugly old hags and little girls only, or did they read something into the story that wasn't written.

There appears to be no end to their violence in todays world. If a journalist or a cartonist display anything, that could even be totally truth, his life may be on the line, and Islam hitmen are on the move to get the person. The Islam followers can kill, destroy, and/or do anything they want to, but you can't say anything about what they are doing or what Muhammad their leader is resposible for.

If these Islam followers that rise up to accuse, threaten, and demand apologees from everybody, would go after all these Islam ( Extremeist ), then the world might believe they are different than they are. This continued silence from the peaceful followers of Islam seems to suggest their belief is no different than the extremist followers of Islam. This would seem to suggest that the extremist are the military for the Islam movement.

Muhammad from the Christian viewpoint is leading more people to Hell than any person that has ever lived, with about one billion following him to Hell today. Does this surprise some of you Muhammad is in Hell? If you reject Jesus, The Son Of God as Muhammad did, you will be in Hell with him too. That is the Christian Viewpoint.

There is a difference in Muhammads  way to dominate people and the present Islam Terrorist approach. Muhammad led his army in a battle like a man to defeat his enemy. Present day muslims attack behind your back like a coward and sneak up and destroy themselves and you, commiting suicide. That was not the way Muhammad fought, when he killed his own people in Saudi Arabia, he defeated them in a battle like a man. Todays muslim sneak in like cowards and commit suicide, hopeing to murder any and all they can with bombs and whatever. The Christian viewpoint of this is that they have sent themselves to Hell for an eternity for such an act against himself, mankind, and God. Although we hear on TV , with tears flowing from their eyes of those that survived. Babies dead, old people, teenagers, and everybody without remorse, they kill, they say serving the god, Allah.

Muhammad , that I have read so far,  may have been violent, but he didn't act in the manner of the present day Islam followers ( extremeist ) today like a suicide maniac.

Muhammad was referred to as a terrorist by two preachers recently and trouble happened world wide by muslims. I guess if a person was afraid when Muhammad was on the move to force his Quran upon them, we can't call him a terrorist. But if the people are afraid and in terror  because he was coming to force the Quran upon them, what would you call him? As the commander over his forces, he gave his army permission in writings to rape a woman 3 days and this would be called a temporary marriage that would be automaticly ended in three days. Muhammad done this to satisfy the desires of his invading forces. He also allowed them to marry 4 women, but they could get more if they bought the rest of them.

If Muhammad  was looked at as a man leading a army to fight for his country, a person might consider him just a fighting leader. But ! He is leading a religion as an army to force upon people, this makes it different.

If Billy Graham or Jesus gathered Christians to follow him with guns and knives and told us to kill everybody that wouldn't except Jesus, then what would Billy Graham or Jesus be ? Shouldn't we look at Islam and Muhammad in the same consideration?

Actually, there will never be peace with the world and Islam, their violence will continue. Their religion is for you to be Islam or Else. They mean to Dominate the World, and they do not mean peacefully.

There will never be peace until Jesus returns and sets up his Kingdom on Earth. From The Christian Viewpoint That Is.

(5 more than the Quran permits for other Muslims)!

* He died at age 63 in the home of Aisha, his favorite wife,
and was buried on the spot where he died in Medina.

of his adopted son Zeid. He then received a "revelation" from Allah that it
was permissible to marry the wife of an adopted son. Zeid divorced Zeinab
so that Mohammed could marry her.

Marriage to wives of men killed by Muslims, including the murder of Jews

It was standard practice, and made legal by Muhammad, to take as a “wife” in addition to captives, the wives of men killed in battle (or executed). On one occasion when Muhammad launched an attack on a Jewish tribe he personally witnessed their beheading and then took some of their widows to bed. Semitic scholar and historian A.B.

*****************

In 624 Abu Bakr (Muhammad’s daily companion and one of his first believers and successor of Muhammad) gave Muhammad his daughter Aisha when she was six years old, although the actual marriage was not consummated until she was nine. This fact is uncontested by all Muslim scholars and chroniclers without exception). At the time of their marriage Muhammad was 54 years old (the age of her grandfather) – a difference of 45 years in their ages.

Aisha herself testified to these facts:

“The messenger of God betrothed me when I was six years old and then married me when I was nine years old.”

Edom, Islam and The Last Days
The War on Terror and Armageddon November 22, 2002 Hal Lindsey

Here are some of the things said in the Hadith and the Koran, the two holy books of Islam.

“The Resurrection of the dead will not come until the Muslims will war with the Jews and the Muslims will kill them. The trees and rocks will say, ‘O Muslim, here is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.” (Mohammad in the Hadith)

“Muslims, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. Allah does not guide the wrongdoers.” (Surah 5:51)

“Those who make war against Allah and His apostle Mohammad and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or banished from the land.” (Surah 5:33-34)

“Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.” (Surah 9:73)

“When the sacred months are over, slay the idolators wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.” (Surah 9:5)

Christians are considered “polytheists and idolators” because we believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

“NEVER DID ALLAH TAKE TO HIMSELF A SON, and never was there with him any (other) god – in that case would each god have certainly taken away what he created, and some of them would certainly have overpowered others; glory be to Allah above what they describe!” (Surah 23:91)
