No matter where you turn, there seems to be someone trying to convince the American public that ALL Muslims are not radical jihadists or that there exists a rare breed of “moderate” Muslim that honors the Islamic faith, but somehow doesn’t buy into the radical jihadist rhetoric in the Quran and the Hadith. Bearing in mind that the Quran was interpreted by a tribal warlord whose entire existence was involved in making war against innocents.

Listen to what David Wood of www.AnsweringMuslims.com has to say …

… and then put forth credible evidence that is is mistaken or undeniably wrong in his assertions.

Context …

This is the Quranic 5:32 verse that is cited to “prove” Islam is a peaceful religion … (it is what Allah commanded for the Jews in Jewish lands – aka Israel)

Quran 5:32 – “For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our apostles came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.”  

But, they never offer the quote in context with the very next Quranic 5:33 verse which commands Muslims …

Quran 5:33 – “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement.”

And how does one respond to these verses?

Quran 4:76 –“Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah.” 

There should be no “moderate Muslims” …

Quran 4:95 –“Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward.”

Quran  8:12 –“I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.” 

Quran 8:39 –“And fight with them until there is no more fitna (unbelief) and religion should be only for Allah.”

Be killed or converted into a slave for Allah …

Quran 9:5 –“So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.” 

Bottom line …

Islam is the only modern religion that was born of a warlord and is filled with commandments that preclude any religious tolerance for any other religion. No other modern religion, as practiced, commands its followers to spread its teachings globally, using terror and war as a principal means of converting unbelievers.

Make up your own mind if Islam represents a clear and present existential threat to all religions, all people and all cultures not associated with fundamental unreformed Islam. And, consider, even among themselves, they make war and spread terror to those Islamic sects which they do not consider “true believers.” Hence the fundamental war between the Shia and the Sunni Muslims.
