Essay One
Average Muslims are caught in a very difficult predicament—they must be followers
of Muhammad and attempt
to do what he did in his lifetime, if they have any chance of
entering paradise. A Muslim is required to live out a very rigorous commitment
to the principles and practices of Islam.
The question, “What did Muhammad do during
his lifetime?” therefore becomes a very large issue for Muslim people. The following is only a short list of those things that Muhammad did and highlights the most commonly
known aspects of his life.
» Once he began preaching Islam, he is not known
to have earned
a living other
than through acquiring the spoils of conquest.
» He forced people to convert to Islam or die, or, become enslaved
to Muslims and submit to them.
» He gained converts
by force, some by persuasion.
» He had at least twelve wives, plus concubines, and married at least one girl under the
age of ten and did have sexual
relations with her while she was under
ten.
» He wore a beard.
» He ate only with his right hand.
» He slept only upon his right side.
To be a
true follower of Muhammad and live like he did—not easily imitated. How might a faithful Muslim
then live?
To be a follower of Muhammad you would:
» Live off a welfare
system. This is extremely common
in Europe, for example, where those Muslims on welfare are, comparatively speaking, a very high percentage
of the Muslim population. After all, how can a faithful Muslim be employed
with the requirement to pray five times a day, and three of the prayers
coming during normal business hours?
» View others who were not Muslims as infidels
and who may then be treated in any manner necessary to secure their submission including
murdering them whether man, woman, or child.
» _Use force of whatever kind necessary to secure the advancement
of the religion. (Every day in our newspapers this fact is highlighted and the
television news broadcasts are choked with the gory details most every
evening.)
» _Satisfy your sexual needs as Muhammad
did by having many wives, including children.
Note: Child
brides are a staple in countries where Islam predominates. Very recently, in
Gaza, the terrorist organization Hamas put on a large wedding celebration for
450 couples and the brides were all little girls under ten years of age. It
must be pointed out that the usual cover-ups were made to a credulous Western
population that such horrific behavior is only a cultural means of providing
for poor families or suggesting there is no sex until at least puberty—none of
which is close to the truth. No, it is pedophilia, which is sanctioned by the
Muslim culture. There are estimates that there are 51 million child brides now
living on the planet and almost all are in Muslim countries. Pedophilia was not
only practiced by Muhammad but is also sanctioned by the Qur’an (see Surah
65:4).
The most famous Muslim cleric of the 20th Century,
Ayatollah Khomeini, said that a man can have sexual pleasure from a child as
young as a baby. However, the holy man said, he should not penetrate a female;
rather, sodomizing a male child was permitted. The revered ayatollah further
announced that a father who gives his child for such pleasure would earn a
permanent place in paradise.
Yes, this is horrific, and I will stop here with
descriptions. The Ayatollah wrote a book about his views on sex with infants,
animals, and more. Here is the title of the book: Ayatollah Khomeini’s Book on Sex: For Shias, by
LagoShia. The Ayatollah is the leading scholar and jurist for Shi’a Islam and
therefore his word is law. A Wikipedia search on the subject will yield all one
needs to know.
A Follower of Jesus?
Make a comparison between Jesus and Muhammad. Read one
of the gospels for yourself and you will find the difference to be as different
as darkness is from light, as hate is from love, and death is from life.
The Muslim, especially if born in countries with a Muslim
majority, is trapped into something he or she is virtually unable to escape
from. They are caught in a religious culture that, I am convinced, they would
renounce if they could.
Closing Comment
Behind and beneath and within Islam lurks that which is
evil. Wish it were not so, wish that Islam was actually simply another of the
world’s great religions as it is so often portrayed.
Why is it that mostly only Biblically-oriented Christians
understand the real nature of the religion? is a question to be pondered. It
would seem that all the people of the earth would be alarmed at the core
teachings and practices of Islam. And it is this fact that leads me to the
conclusion that there is a hideous evil strength that runs through all of that
which is claimed to be a religion and which demands proper respect and
acceptance.
