Spirit of Islam: A Primer

Last time I wrote a message on Islam, a Catholic priest said he reported me to the FCC for broadcasting what he referred to as "an eMail hate letter." Several long-time subscribers of various other denominations ALSO gave me a tongue-lashing... just before unsubscribing.

In contrast, many others thanked me. It's for them, and all other the seekers of truth, that I write. Not to mention the fact that, since early this morning, the phrase, "We become as the gods we serve" has been rolling around in my spirit.

I had no choice but to write this.

Moscow, October 25th, 2002, a special forces assault on a Moscow theater after a three-day siege left more than 90 hostages dead, but 750 others were rescued and dozens of their Chechen captors killed. What is the spiritual slant of these Chechens? They're Muslims.

Here in the states, a man goes on a killing rampage, randomly murdering 10 innocent people throughout Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Three others, including a 13-year-old boy, were critically wounded. The sniper's last name? Muhammad, a follower of Islam.

I could go on and on with worldwide reports of atrocities going on as we speak, direct results of Islamic aggression. It would be depressing.

Here's an interesting snippet I found on the REAL Muhammad whose upstart religion is now covering the planet: "Muhammad gained wealth & power when he led raiding parties against innocent caravans. Zealous followers of Muhammad raided the rich caravans traveling to Mecca for polytheistic worship. "In 624 Muhammad and 300 Muslims attack Meccan caravan at Fabr (Vabr) ... In 626 drives out Jewish tribes ... In 628 - 629 attacks Jewish Oasis at Khaibar." Arabs in History by Bernard Lewis: Harper & Row - 1966 revised edition.

After reading that, one might say that terrorism is in the Islamic blood.

ALLAH IS LOVE?

Muslims today portray Allah as loving and kind yet obligate each follower to obey whenever one of Allah
