The nature of Islam?
We live in a  fast changing world . We in this country have been lulled into believing Islam 
is just another religion for a country that has freedom of religion.   What many do not realize 
is Islam is more than just a religion.  It is a culture that spans all faucets of life – not just spiritual.
Believe me you would not want to be under sharia (muslim) law.  Under that judicial law “women” 
have less rights than your dog or cat does. We believe we can co-exist – like we do today with 
other religions.   What we do not realize is that muslims do not believe this.  They are taught from 
the day they are born to kill the infidel (non-muslims).   For centuries muslims have moved into 
other countries and co-existed . . . until they reached a majority and then you have had two 
choices; become a muslim or be beheaded (or leave and go to another country).

This is an interesting video on demographics and how Muslims breed and take over a country.
The facts are frightening and true...Watch it... Take Heed...

Why I believe Islam is a false religion

Islam as a system

Can a devout Muslim be an Australian (or a citizen of any Christian nation for that matter) 
and a loyal citizen at the same time??

This is a true exchange between an Jewish Israeli and an Israeli-Arab student from Hebrew University that was written up in Jerusalem Insights #394.

Conversation on the Beach

By Solly Ganor
Herzliya, Israel,
Friday, December 6, 2002

About half a mile from where I live in Herzliya, on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean, stands an old mosque. It was built during the Middle Ages and a Moslem holy man is buried on that site. The holy man's name was Sidney Ally and that is how the mosque is known to this day. The beach bellow, stretches all the way to Herzliya to the South, and Netanya to the North.

I often go there for walks because from its heights one has a panoramic view of the sea and the whole area. There is another reason why I go there; from that hill, at certain weather conditions, the Mediterranean turns into a color of blue that can not be seen anywhere else.

Last Friday, as the wind began blowing from the East, the Medi, as we call our sea, began calming down. It flattened the waves coming ashore until it became as placid as the Kinneret during the summer. It was then that the deep blue color, as if by a magic wand, emerged from the depth of its waters.

It wasn't the first time I saw it and I always witness that phenomenon with rising spirits. " If there is so much beauty in this world, then there is hope for us humans yet." I said to myself.

The silence was interrupted by a noisy bus full of Arab worshipers who arrived to the mosque for their Friday services. They wore the traditional Arab garb, and entered the mosque quietly. Some of them threw me hostile glances. Their arrival brought me back to our desperate conflict with these people for the piece of land we call Israel, and they call Palestine. Only a few years ago at Camp David, we deluded ourselves that they are finally ready for peace; Israel and Palestine living next to each other for the mutual benefit of both peoples. But that was not to be. They are still not ready to relinquish their old dream to oust us out of the Middle East.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I heard a voice behind me speaking English. As I turned around I saw a well dressed young man of about twenty five, looking wistfully at the sea. By his accent and looks I realized that he was an Arab, probably one of the lot that arrived by bus. A quick visual scan of his body assured me that he didn't come to stab me, or blow himself up.

I nodded. "Yes it is beautiful". Well, we have at least one thing in common, I thought.

And then I had a second thought. "Here stands an Arab youth next to me, in the heart of Israel, calmly admiring with me the sea. There was not a shadow of a doubt in his mind that something bad would ever happen to him here in Israel.

I tried to imagine myself standing that way in Ramalah, and having that conversation with an Arab youth. Then I remembered a scene filmed by an Italian TV correspondent in Ramalah last year.

Two Israelis, who by mistake took a wrong turn, found themselves among a mob of Palestinians. They were brought to the Palestinian police station where they were lynched and their mangled bodies were thrown out of the window, to the cheering crowds below. They kicked them and beat them until they were an unrecognizable mess of flesh." The Italian TV crew, who filmed that scene, had to run for their lives to escape the mob. Fortunately, they were able to sneak the film out and show it to the world, one of the few films that were ever shown of the Arab atrocities.

But the world isn't interested in Arab atrocities. They are used to them and they don't make good news.

For a while we stood in silence admiring the view.

"Didn't you come with the others to pray?" I asked just to make conversation.

I was curious about him. Why did he join me? It wasn't just to watch the view, of this I was sure.

"I know what that old fool will say by heart. He is of the old school and preaches moderation. Fortunately, his time is over."

" You don't think that moderation is a good idea?"

" What has moderation ever done for us? We have been moderate long enough. We are growing weaker while you have grown stronger. It is time for us to act."

I was a little surprised by his belligerent tone right from the start. Usually Arabs are polite in the beginning of a conversation.

" Do you think that you were moderate up to now? Would you call five wars the Arabs launched against us, moderation? I wonder what you would call hostility?"

He gave me a sober look.

" Hostility is what you are getting now. Our young people are blowin themselves up in all of your major towns, taking with them hundreds of your Israelis. President Arafat has promised you a million 'Shihads' (suicide cowards) to march on Jerusalem. The march has already began, and it won't be thanks to Arafat. He is another old bungler.

Things are changing. Until now you had the upper hand, but no more!

Our "Shihads," are the answer to your atomic bombs. If necessary, one "Shihad" can be an atomic bomb, here in Israel, in America, in Europe, or anywhere the Jews and the Crusaders live. We don't need millions of dollars worth of sophisticated labs and expensive scientist. What we have is cheap and efficient. That is because we are not afraid to die. We have finally found your soft underbelly, your Achilles Heal. You Judeo-Christians worship the sanctity of life, while we don't mind dying for Islam" The last sentence he said with certain pride in his voice.

From the way he expressed himself, I realized that he is a student. As if confirming my thoughts, he told me that he is a student of political science at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. " Do all the Arab students studying at the Israeli universities share your views?"

" Absolutely! A few may be oriented towards the West, but the overwhelming majority are for the new emerging Renaissance of Islam."

Then he smiled and said, " You might as well enjoy the beautiful view from "Sidney Alley" while you can. You won't be able to do so for long. If I were

you, I would pack and leave for safer countries."

I gave him a long look.

"Thanks for the advice, but I remember another Arab who gave the same advice to us in 1948, when the British were pulling out. He may have been your grandfather, for all I know. He lived in a village somewhere around here and he was a friend of a Jewish man named Peytan whom I knew as well.

Peytan lived in Kefar Shemaryahu across the road. One day the Arab neighbor

came visiting Mr. Peytan and strongly advised him to pack and leave. At the same time, he brought out a measuring tape and began to measure the room they were sitting in.

'What are you doing?" Asked my friend.

"Look, you are going to lose your house anyway. There is no way that six hundred thousand of you can stand up to the combined might of six Arab regular armies, not to mention our Palestinian battalions. We can actually kill you with our hats!"

Yes, that is what he actually said: "We can kill you with our hats.

" We have been good friends for a long time. You might as well give me your house rather than to someone you don't know."

"His advice reminded me of your advice. Yet during the 1948 war, that was forced on us by you, your 'grandfather', not only didn't get the house in Kefar Shemaryahu, but he lost his own house and became a refugee. And now he is blaming it on the Jews. Fifty-five years later he still sits in the camp. His views haven't changed much. He still wants not only his house back, but he wants the house in Kefar Shemaryahu, of his Jewish friend as well.

Will he ever get it? I doubt it."

" Yes, he will get it! And you know why? Because in 1948 they were all cowards! Today, our generation is proving that we are not! Eighteen determined men with carton cutters who were not afraid to die, defied the big American might, causing them thousands of dead and trillions of dollars worth of losses. We found out that we can bring the Western capitalist system to its knees, and we shall do so! It is a shameless selfish system that causes endless human misery around the world, especially in the third world countries and for Islam. It is time for it to go!" It was obvious from the way he said it that he didn't say it for the first time.

"Communism, Nazism, Fascism, they all were defeated by the Western Democracies, what system do you propose to replace it with?" I asked. I was beginning to get irritated with this young Arab.

" Islam!" He said fiercely.

" Islam?" I asked. " Islam? What did Islam ever do for the countries under its rule? It brought nothing but poverty and misery to the masses, while bestowing fabulous riches to the rulers. All you have to do is look around you.

Israel, that was in 1948 a pauper state, barely able to feed its population,

has grown into a modern self sufficient state. We have absorbed a million Jews from the Arab countries, who fled for their lives leaving all they possessed behind, while your Arab brothers with their billions of petro dollars let the Palestinians rot in refugee camps.

While we progressed in the last fifty years, the Arab states have only regressed. As a matter of fact, the Arab masses are worse off than when they were under the British or the French rule. How many Nobel prize winners has Islam produced? How many new inventions to benefit mankind? Practically zero!

How many Einsteins, Freuds, Salks and Rubinsteins has Islam produced? Zero! From a once vibrant Arab civilization, that gave us Algebra and the concept of the zero, Islam has plunged you into a pit of fanaticism, illiteracy, poverty and corruption, and you would like to force the world into the same abyss?. "

For a while he looked at me perturbed. " We all make mistakes. But Islam with all its faults is a thousand times more preferable to the abomination that is the West." He finally said quietly. Then he gave me a fierce look and said: "If you had said in any Arab country about Islam, what you have just said to me, you would be a dead man!"

" I am sure I would. And if you had said in any Arab country denouncing their corrupt regimes the way you are denouncing Israel, you would be a dead man too.

Yet, here you are, studying at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, allowing yourself openly to speak of subversion and treason against the State of Israel, without any fear of being arrested, let alone being killed for it. Doesn't it say something to you?"

" Yes, it says that you are weak, and that weakness will be your undoing." he said seriously.

" Isn't there a way our two nations could ever come to terms and make peace?"

Again he gave me that serious look. "Yes, there is a way. We are not like the Nazis who gave you no other choice but death. We give you the chance to convert to Islam, then you will become a part of us and our people will live in peace."

For a while we stood in silence looking at the sea.

"You will never defeat us because we have a secret weapon, the same weapon that saved us from you in 1948." I said.

" Yes, and what is that, your atom bomb?" His tone was derisive.

" No. In Hebrew it is known as 'Ein Breira'.

"Ein breira? That is your secret weapon? It means 'there is no other choice.' Why, we too can say the same thing."

"But that is not quite true. We have 'no other choice' because you challenge our very existence in this country, whereas we don't do that. We are quite willing to coexist with you as a Palestinian state and an Israeli state, side by side. You don't.'

There was nothing more to be said. The sun was dipping towards the horizon in the West, and the sea lost it's deep blue color. The magic was gone. It was time to go home.

"Good bye. I have to go inside the mosque. I promised them a lecture." He said walking away.

I could imagine what the lecture was all about. We didn't offer to shake hands. After all, you don't shake hands with your sworn enemy. I walked home depressed.

If there was a way out of this conflict, I didn't see one.

PBS RECRUITING FOR ISLAM by Daniel Pipes - A Must Read....

What would be the best way to convert lots of Americans to Islam?

Forget print, go to film. Put together a handsome documentary with an original musical score that presents Islam's prophet Muhammad in the most glowing manner, indeed, as a model of perfection. Round up Muslim and non-Muslim enthusiasts to endorse the nobility and truth of his message. Splice in vignettes of winsome American Muslims testifying to the justice and beauty of their Islamic faith. Then get the U.S. taxpayer to help pay for it.

Show it at prime time on the most high-minded TV network. Oh, and screen it at least once during the holidays, when anyone out of synch with Christmas might be especially susceptible to another religion's appeal.

This is precisely what the producers of "Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet" have done. In a documentary The Washington Post calls "absorbing, . . . enjoyable and informative," exotic images of the desert and medieval miniatures mix with scenes of New York City and the American flag. Born- and convert-American Muslims speak affectingly about their personal bond to their prophet.

The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) will premiere this two-hour documentary across the nation tomorrow night, then repeat it in most areas. The film's largest tranche of funding comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private, nonprofit corporation created by Congress that in fiscal 2002 received $350 million in taxpayers' funds.

The heart of the film consists of nine talking heads competing with each other to praise Muhammad the most extravagantly. Not one of them criticizes him.

Some of their efforts are laughable, as when one commentator denies allegations about Muhammad contracting a marriage of convenience with a rich, older woman named Khadija: "He deeply, deeply loved Khadija." Oh, and his many marriages were "an act of faith, not of lust." How could anyone know this?

Other apologetics are more consequential. What Muhammad did for women, viewers learn, was "amazing" - his condemning female infanticide, giving legal rights to wives, permitting divorce and protecting their inheritance rights. But no commentator is so impolite as to note that however admirable this was in the 7th century, Muslim women today suffer widely from genital mutilation, forced marriages, purdah [women being hidden from public view], illiteracy, sexual apartheid, polygamy and honor killings.

The film treats religious beliefs - such as Muhammad's "Night Journey," when the Quran says he went to heaven and entered the divine presence - as historical fact. It presents Muslim wars as only defensive and reluctant, which is simply false. All this smacks of a film shown by missionaries.

Move to the present and the political correctness is stifling. Hostility is said to be "hurled" at American Muslims since 9/11 - but there's no mention about the prior and vastly greater (foreign) Muslim hostility "hurled" at Americans, killing several thousand. The narrator exaggerates the number of American Muslims, overestimates their rate of growth and wrongly terms them the country's "most diverse" religious community.

But these are details. "Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet" is an outrage on two main counts.

PBS has betrayed its viewers by presenting an airbrushed and uncritical documentary of a topic that has both world historical and contemporary significance. Its patronizing film might be fine for an Islamic Sunday school class, but not for a national audience.

For example, PBS ignores an ongoing scholarly reassessment of Muhammad's life that disputes every detail - down to the century and region Muhammad lived in - of its film. This is especially odd when contrasted with the 1998 PBS documentary, "From Jesus to Christ," which focuses almost exclusively on the work of cutting-edge scholars and presents the latest in critical thinking on Jesus.

The U.S. government should never fund a documentary whose obvious intent is to glorify a religion and proselytize for it. Doing so flies in the face of American tradition and law. On behalf of taxpayers, a public-interest law firm should bring suit against the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, both to address this week's travesty and to win an injunction against any possible repetitions.

What is an American?

You probably missed it in the rush of news last week, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.

So an Australian dentist wrote the following to let everyone know what an American is, so they would know when they found one.

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

An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani, or Afghan. An American may also be a Cherokee, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are mo! re Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses. An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.

An American is from the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes the God given right of each man and woman to the pursuit of happiness.

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need. When Afghanistan was overrun by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country. As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.

Americans welcome the best,! the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best athletes. But they also welcome the least.

The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty, welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America. Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, earning a better life for their families. I've been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 other countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General TOJO, and Stalin, and Mao , and every blood thirsty tyrant in the history of the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place.

They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee” (Isaiah 60:1)

Is Islam Peaceful??? 

Several views on both sides. 
This page attempts to present both sides of Islam so you can be the judge. 

Bishop Dolli doesn't think Islam is peaceful.  One sees many white, Anglo-Saxon, mostly Protestant members of Congress and others on television today vouching for the "peaceful" nature and intent of Islam. Oprah Winfrey has done a show on "modern Muslim women" -- none of whom would be allowed to dress in contemporary clothing, be educated, or even appear on television if they lived in radical Muslim states.

I ask the Right Reverend Bullen Dolli, an Episcopal Bishop in Sudan, what he believes about the nature and intent of contemporary Islam. "It is a militant religion," he tells me and laughs at those who serve as its character witnesses.

Bishop Dolli was in Washington last week at the invitation of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. He attempted to warn Congress and anyone else who would listen of the dangers to his country and the United States posed by Islam, especially in its militant form.

In Sudan, says Bishop Dolli, the coercive instruments of the state use brutal force to insure that no other religion but Islam is practiced. The congregation of All Saints Cathedral in Khartoum, a peaceful assembly of Christians, was recently disbanded and many members were arrested, tried in kangaroo courts and either imprisoned or punished by caning. Bishop Dolli says former Sudanese President Sadiq el-Mahdi has prophesied that by 2010, the world will be dominated by Islam. His prophecy is written in Sudanese school textbooks.

In Sudan, says Bishop Dolli, many Christian church buildings have been either bulldozed or bombed from the air. Non-Muslims suffer persecution in employment, and all women, whether Muslim or not, are forced to wear the black chador and veil. The government army has been renamed "Jundy Allah" (the Army of Allah) and they fight jihad (holy war) against those in Southern Sudan and non-militant Moslems.

Slavery continues to be practiced by the murahaleen, members of government-backed militias who regularly conduct raids against Christians in Southern Sudan. The murahaleen have killed thousands, enslaved children and young women, stolen cattle, plundered and burned food stores and crops and are reported by various human rights organizations to have raped both men and women.

Over 2 million Sudanese civilians are estimated to have died since 1983 as a result of the continuing warfare, according to the IRD. Many millions more have been forced to flee their homes. Bishop Dolli says radical Islam's goal is to dominate the entire African continent with its militant, oppressive, dangerous and increasingly popular brand of religion. So-called "Islamic moderates," in the bishop's view, are among the first targeted for extermination by the extremists, even before they go after Jews and Christians.

If Sudan is too far away to worry about, is Potomac, Md. close enough? The Washington Post's Marc Fisher recently visited a Muslim school in that D.C. suburb. What he found ought to send chills up every American spine. An eighth grader told Fisher: "If I had to choose sides, I'd stay with being Muslim. Being an American means nothing to me. I'm not even proud of telling my cousins in Pakistan that I'm American." The school principal said: "Allegiance to national authority is one thing, but the one who gives us life is more entitled to that authority. This is the story of religion through all time. When national laws and values go counter to what the Creator believes, we are 100 percent against it."

When Christians, Jews and those of most other faiths disagree with the American government, they have worked within the system to change it, or in extreme cases (as with Martin Luther King Jr.) have been willing to suffer government's punishment for violating our laws for a nobler purpose. It is different with militant Islam, which seeks to dominate the nation in which it grows and, when in control, diminishes the rights of all who disagree.

Don't think so? Is there a country controlled by Islamic militants that guarantees equal rights for all? Why are we allowing Muslim schools in this country to promote ideas that are seditious? Bishop Dolli knows better. Why don't the rest of us, especially after Sept. 11? 

ALLAH, THE MOON GOD
The Archeology of The Middle East

The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name of
"Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in pre-Islamic times was the
biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. The issue is
thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the biblical God or a pagan god in
Arabia during pre-Islamic times? The Muslim¹s claim of continuity is
essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians for if "Allah"
is part of the flow of divine revelation in Scripture, then it is the
next step in biblical religion. Thus we should all become Muslims.
But, on the other hand, if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan deity, then its
core claim is refuted. Religious claims often fall before the results of
hard sciences such as archeology. We can endlessly speculate about the
past or go and dig it up and see what the evidence reveals. This is the
only way to find out the truth concerning the origins of Allah. As we
shall see, the hard evidence demonstrates that the god Allah was a pagan
deity. In fact, he was the Moon-god who was married to the sun goddess
and the stars were his daughters.

Archeologists have uncovered temples to the Moon-god throughout the
Middle East. From the mountains of Turkey to the banks of the Nile, the
most wide-spread religion of the ancient world was the worship of the
Moon-god.  In the first literate civilization, the Sumerians have left
us thousands of clay tablets in which they described their religious
beliefs. As demonstrated by Sjoberg and Hall, the ancient Sumerians
worshipped a Moon-god who was called many different names.
The most popular names were Nanna, Suen and Asimbabbar. His symbol was
the crescent moon. Given the amount of artifacts concerning the worship
of this Moon-god, it is clear that this was the dominant religion in
Sumeria. The cult of the Moon-god was the most popular religion
throughout ancient Mesopotamia. The Assyrians, Babylonians, and the
Akkadians took the word Suen and transformed it into the word Sin as
their favorite name for the Moon-god.  As Prof. Potts pointed out, "Sin
is a name essentially Sumerian in origin which had been borrowed by the
Semites."

In ancient Syria and Canna, the Moon-god Sin was usually represented by
the moon in its crescent phase. At times the full moon was placed inside
the crescent moon to emphasize all the phases of the moon. The
sun-goddess was the wife of Sin and the stars were their daughters. For
example, Istar was a daughter of Sin. Sacrifices to the Moon-god are
described in the Pas Shamra texts. In the Ugaritic texts, the Moon-god
was sometimes called Kusuh. In Persia, as well as in Egypt, the Moon-god
is depicted on wall murals and on the heads of statues. He was the Judge
of men and gods. The Old Testament constantly rebuked the worship of the
Moon-god (see: Deut.  4:19;17:3; II Kngs. 21:3,5; 23:5; Jer. 8:2; 19:13;
Zeph. 1:5, etc.)
When Israel fell into idolatry, it was usually the cult of the Moon-god.
As a matter of fact, everywhere in the ancient world, the symbol of the
crescent moon can be found on seal impressions, steles, pottery,
amulets, clay tablets, cylinders, weights, earrings, necklaces, wall
murals, etc. In Tell-el-Obeid, a copper calf was found with a crescent
moon on its forehead. An idol with the body of a bull and the head of
man has a crescent moon inlaid on its forehead with shells. In Ur, the
Stela of Ur-Nammu has the crescent symbol placed at the top of the
register of gods because the Moon-god was the head of the gods. Even
bread was baked in the form of a crescent as an act of devotion to the
Moon-god. The Ur of the Chaldees was so devoted to the Moon-god that it
was sometimes called Nannar in tablets from that time period.

A temple of the Moon-god has been excavated in Ur by Sir Leonard
Woolley.  He dug up many examples of moon worship in Ur and these are
displayed in the British Museum to this day. Harran was likewise noted
for its devotion to the Moon-god. In the 1950¹s a major temple to the
Moon-god was excavated at Hazer in Palestine.
Two idols of the moon god were found.  Each was a stature of a man
sitting upon a throne with a crescent moon carved on his chest . The
accompanying inscriptions make it clear that these were idols of the
Moon-god. Several smaller statues were also found which were identified
by their inscriptions as the "daughters" of the Moon-god. What about
Arabia? As pointed out by Prof. Coon, "Muslims are notoriously loath to
preserve traditions of earlier paganism and like to garble what
pre-Islamic history they permit to survive in anachronistic terms."

During the nineteenth century, Amaud, Halevy and Glaser went to Southern
Arabia and dug up thousands of Sabean, Minaean, and Qatabanian
inscriptions which were subsequently translated. In the 1940¹s, the
archeologists G. Caton Thompson and Carleton S. Coon made some amazing
discoveries in Arabia. During the 1950¹s, Wendell Phillips, W.F.
Albright, Richard Bower and others excavated sites at Qataban, Timna,
and Marib (the ancient capital of Sheba). Thousands of inscriptions from
walls and rocks in Northern Arabia have also been collected. Reliefs and
votive bowls used in worship of the "daughters of Allah" have also been
discovered. The three daughters, al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat are sometimes
depicted together with Allah the Moon-god represented by a crescent moon
above them. The archeological evidence demonstrates that the dominant
religion of Arabia was the cult of the Moon-god.

In Old Testament times, Nabonidus (555-539 BC), the last king of
Babylon, built Tayma, Arabia as a center of Moon-god worship. Segall
stated, "South Arabia¹s stellar religion has always been dominated by
the Moon-god in various variations." Many scholars have also noticed
that the Moon-god¹s name "Sin" is a part of such Arabic words as
"Sinai," the "wilderness of Sin," etc. When the popularity of the
Moon-god waned elsewhere, the Arabs remained true to their conviction
that the Moon-god was the greatest of all gods. While they worshipped
360 gods at the Kabah in Mecca, the Moon-god was the chief deity. Mecca
was in fact built as a shrine for the Moon-god.
This is what made it the most sacred site of Arabian paganism. In 1944,
G.  Caton Thompson revealed in her book, The Tombs and Moon Temple of
Hureidha, that she had uncovered a temple of the Moon-god in southern
Arabia. The symbols of the crescent moon and no less than twenty-one
inscriptions with the name Sin were found in this temple. An idol which
may be the Moon-god himself was also discovered. This was later
confirmed by other well-known archeologists.

The evidence reveals that the temple of the Moon-god was active even in
the Christian era. Evidence gathered from both North and South Arabia
demonstrate that Moon-god worship was clearly active even in Muhammad¹s
day and was still the dominant cult. According to numerous inscriptions,
while the name of the Moon-god was Sin, his title was al-ilah, i.e. "the
deity," meaning that he was the chief or high god among the gods. As
Coon pointed out, "The god Il or Ilah was originally a phase of the Moon
God." The Moon-god was called al-ilah, i.e. the god, which was shortened
to Allah in pre-Islamic times. The pagan Arabs even used Allah in the
names they gave to their children. For example, both Muhammad¹s father
and uncle had Allah as part of their names.
The fact that they were given such names by their pagan parents proves
that Allah was the title for the Moon-god even in Muhammad¹s day. Prof.
Coon goes on to say, "Similarly, under Mohammed¹s tutelage, the
relatively anonymous Ilah, became Al-Ilah, The God, or Allah, the
Supreme Being."
This fact answers the questions, "Why is Allah never defined in the
Qur¹an? Why did Muhammad assume that the pagan Arabs already knew who
Allah was?" Muhammad was raised in the religion of the Moon-god Allah.
But he went one step further than his fellow pagan Arabs. While they
believed that Allah, i.e. the Moon-god, was the greatest of all gods and
the supreme deity in a pantheon of deities, Muhammad decided that Allah
was not only the greatest god but the only god.

In effect he said, "Look, you already believe that the Moon-god Allah is
the greatest of all gods. All I want you to do is to accept that the
idea that he is the only god. I am not taking away the Allah you already
worship. I am only taking away his wife and his daughters and all the
other gods." This is seen from the fact that the first point of the
Muslim creed is not, "Allah is great" but "Allah is the greatest," i.e.,
he is the greatest among the gods.
Why would Muhammad say that Allah is the "greatest" except in a
polytheistic context? The Arabic word is used to contrast the greater
from the lesser. That this is true is seen from the fact that the pagan
Arabs never accused Muhammad of preaching a different Allah than the one
they already worshipped. This "Allah" was the Moon-god according to the
archeological evidence. Muhammad thus attempted to have it both ways. To
the pagans, he said that he still believed in the Moon-god Allah. To the
Jews and the Christians, he said that Allah was their God too. But both
the Jews and the Christians knew better and that is why they rejected
his god Allah as a false god.

Al-Kindi, one of the early Christian apologists against Islam, pointed
out that Islam and its god Allah did not come from the Bible but from
the paganism of the Sabeans. They did not worship the God of the Bible
but the Moon-god and his daughters al-Uzza, al-Lat and Manat. Dr. Newman
concludes his study of the early Christian-Muslim debates by stating,
"Islam proved itself to be...a separate and antagonistic religion which
had sprung up from idolatry." Islamic scholar Caesar Farah concluded
"There is no reason, therefore, to accept the idea that Allah passed to
the Muslims from the Christians and Jews."
The Arabs worshipped the Moon-god as a supreme deity. But this was not
biblical monotheism. While the Moon-god was greater than all other gods
and goddesses, this was still a polytheistic pantheon of deities. Now
that we have the actual idols of the Moon-god, it is no longer possible
to avoid the fact that Allah was a pagan god in pre-Islamic times. Is it
any wonder then that the symbol of Islam is the crescent moon? That a
crescent moon sits on top of their mosques and minarets? That a crescent
moon is found on the flags of Islamic nations? That the Muslims fast
during the month which begins and ends with the appearance of the
crescent moon in the sky?

CONCLUSION
The pagan Arabs worshipped the Moon-god Allah by praying toward Mecca  several times a day; making a pilgrimage to Mecca; running around the  temple of the Moon-god called the Kabah; kissing the black stone;  killing an animal in sacrifice to the Moon-god; throwing stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent
moon; giving alms to the poor, etc.
The Muslim¹s claim that Allah is the God of the Bible and that Islam
arose from the religion of the prophets and apostles is refuted by
solid, overwhelming archeological evidence. Islam is nothing more than a
revival of the ancient Moon-god cult. It has taken the symbols, the
rites, the ceremonies, and even the name of its god from the ancient
pagan religion of the Moon-god. As such, it is sheer idolatry and must
be rejected by all those who follow the Torah and Gospel.

Q&A on Islam and Arab-Americans

Q: What is Islam?

A: Muslims believe in one God and in the Day of Judgment and individual

accountability for actions. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets

beginning with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Issac, Jacob

Joseph, Job, Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus. God's message was reaffirmed

and finalized by the Prophet Muhammad. Islam is a religion of peace, mercy

and forgiveness. Muslims pray in a mosque in the same way that Christians

pray in a church.

Q: What is the Koran?

A: The Koran, or Quran, is the Muslim holy book, like the Bible is to

Christianity. It is the record of the exact words revealed by God to the

Prophet Muhammad. It was memorized by Muhammad and then dictated to his

companions.

Q: What does 'Islam' mean?

A: The Arabic word "Islam" means "submission," and it

derives from a word meaning "peace." In a religious context it

means complete submission to the will of God. "Allah" is the

Arabic name for God, which is used by Arab Muslims and Christians alike.

Q: What are the 'Five Pillars' of Islam?

They are the framework for Muslim life:

o The declaration of faith: "There is no deity but God, and Muhammad

is the messenger of God."

o Prayer: Muslims perform five obligatory prayers each day. Islamic

prayers are a direct link between the worshiper and God. Islam has no

hierarchical authority or priesthood.

o Zakat: One of the most important principles of Islam is that all things

belong to God and that wealth is held in trust by human beings. Zakat, or

charitable giving, "purifies" wealth by setting aside a portion

for those in need.

o Fasting: Every year in the Islamic lunar month of Ramadan, Muslims fast

from sunrise to sunset. The fast is another method of self-purification.

o Pilgrimage: A pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, or Hajj as it is is

called in Arabic, is an obligation for those who are physically and

financially able to make the journey.

Q: Who are the Muslims?

A: People who follow the Islamic faith come from all over the world. No

more than 20% of Muslims live in the Arabic-speaking world. The country

with the largest Muslim population is Indonesia.

Q: What about the American Muslim community?

A: An estimated 7 million Muslims live in the USA. They are made up of

people from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and national origins.

Islam is one of the fastest-growing religions in the United States and

around the world.

Q: What is the role of women in Islam?

A: Under Islamic law, women have always had the right to own property,

receive an education and otherwise take part in community life. Men and

women are to be respected equally. The Islamic rules for modest dress

apply to women and men equally.

Q: Why do Muslim women cover their hair?

A: Islam teaches modesty for women and men. Women are required to cover

their bodies so that their figure is not revealed and only their faces and

hands are shown. The head scarf is called a hijab or chador. The long,

robelike garment is called an abayah, jilbab or chador. This requirement

is designed to protect women and give them respect. The

dress of Muslim women is similar to that of Christian nuns, who also cover

their bodies and hair. Muslim women are not required to cover their faces

as is done in some Middle Eastern countries.

Q: Some Arab men wear a checked garment on their heads. What is that?

A: It is called a kafiyyeh, and it is traditional, not religious. Wearing

the kafiyyeh is similar to an African-American wearing traditional African

attire or an Indian wearing a sari. The kafiyyeh shows identity and pride

in one's culture.

Q: What is jihad?

A: Jihad does not mean "holy war." Literally, jihad in Arabic

means to strive, struggle and exert effort. It is a central and broad

Islamic concept that includes struggle against evil inclinations within

oneself, struggle to improve the quality of life in society, struggle in

the battlefield for self-defense or fighting against tyranny or

oppression.

Q: What does Islam say about Christianity?

A: Islam teaches that Christians and Muslims are both "people of the

book." By that it means that the two religions share the same basic

beliefs articulated through the Bible and the Koran. The main difference

between Christians and Muslims is that Muslims do not believe that Jesus

was the son of God. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet who was

granted special powers by God to show people the power of God.

Q: What does Islam say about Judaism?

A: Islam teaches that Jews and Muslims are both "people of the

book." By that it means that the two religions share the same basic

beliefs articulated through the Torah and the Koran. The main difference

between Jews and Muslims is that Jews do not believe in the prophets after

the Jewish prophets, including Muhammad and his teachings. Muslims, on the

other hand, believe in all the prophets including Moses, Ibraham, Jackob,

Ishmael, Issac and Jesus.

Q: How does Islam view terrorism?

A: Islam does not support terrorism under any circumstances.

Terrorism goes against every principle in Islam. If a Muslim engages in

terrorism, he is not following Islam. He may be wrongly using the name of

Islam for political or financial gain.

Q: Does Islam tolerate other beliefs?

A: Yes. It is one function of Islamic law to protect the privileged status

of minorities. Islamic law also permits non-Muslims to set up their own

courts, which implement family laws drawn up by the minorities themselves.

Q: What is an appropriate way to greet an Arab-American?

A: This is not difficult or tricky. Remember that most Arab-Americans grew

up in the USA and do not require special greetings. Be yourself, and let

them be themselves. If they are practicing Muslims or recent immigrants,

watch for cues. A smile, a nod and a word of greeting are appropriate in

most situations. Some Muslims feel it is inappropriate for unrelated men

and women to shake hands. Wait until the other person extends his or her

hand before you extend your own.

14  Only  the  pretender  needs  to  prove  himself.
15  The  good  news  of  Grace.  
16  Resource material.

1   WHAT  IS  ISLAM

            The  word  islam  means  submission. 
            Islam  is  a  system  of  beliefs  originated  by  Muhammad  who lived  in  Arabia  from  570 to 633 AD. 
            Central  to  this  belief  system  is  the  claim  by  Muhammad  that  he  believed  the  angel  Gabriel  appeared  to  him  in  a  cave  at  Hira  situated  a  few  miles  from  Mecca  in  the  month  of  Ramadan in  610 AD  when  he  was  40  years  of  age.

The  material  from  this  claim  and  subsequent  numerous  repeated  appearances  of  Gabriel  to  Muhammad   revealing  the  words  of  Allah  was  recorded  in  a  114  chapter  document  named  the  Qur’an.

Further  material  was  recorded  in  the  Hadith  which  is  a  compilation  of  witnessed accounts  of what  Muhammad  said  during  his  life  after  610 AD.   The  most  authoritative  and  complete  version  of   the  Hadith  was  compiled  by  Sahih  Bukhari (also  known  as  Abu  Abdullah  Muhammad  bin  Ismail  bin  Ibrahim al-Mughira al-Jafai)  who  lived  some  200  years  after  the  death  of  Muhammad.

Muhammad’s  first  vision  involved  the  presence  of  what  Muhammad  thought  was  the  angel  Gabriel  pressing  him three  times  and  on  each  release,  commanding  him  to  read.  After  which  the  angel  said, 
            “Read  in  the  name  of  your  Lord.  Who  creates.
            He  created  man  from  a  clot.
            Read,  by  your  most  generous  Lord.
            Who  taught  by  the  pen.
            He  taught  man  what  he  did  not  know.”   
            (Sura 96, verses 1-5  of  Al-Qur’an)

            Subsequently,  Muhammad  reported  another  vision.  He  saw  what  he  thought  was  the  same  angel who  appeared  to  him  in  the  cave  at  Hira,  sitting  on  a  chair  between  the earth  and  the  sky.  He  was  terrified  and  returned  home  and  told  Khadija,  his  first  wife,  “Wrap  me”  After  which,  he  claimed  that  Allah  revealed  to  him  the  following  verses  of  the  Qur’an:
            “O  Enrobed  one.
            Arise  and  warn.
            Glorify  your  Lord.
            And  purify  your  garments.
            And  abandon  abomination.”
            (Sura  74, verses 1-5  of  Al-Qur’an)

I  believe  Muhammad  sincerely  believed  that  he  actually  saw  the  angel  Gabriel.  However,  I  believe  that   the  angel  was  not  Gabriel.  I  believe  the  angel  was  a  demon,  probably  Satan  himself. 

I  believe  Muhammad   was  deceived  by  a  demon  who  subsequently  possessed  his  mind,  changed  him  and  made  use  of  him  to  deceive  mankind  into  worshipping  a   pagan  idol  named  Allah  in  place  of  the  one  true  God  of  Abraham  called  El  ( El-Elyon, Elohim).

2   WHO  IS  ALLAH

            Some  3000  years  BC,  in  the  Tigris  and  Euphrates  river  basin,  there  was  an  ancient civilization  called  Sumer,  with  its  people  called  Sumerians.       

From  archaeological  findings  of  cuneiform  engravings,  there  was  a  pagan  idol  named  Lil.  The  name  was  subsequently  modified  to  Enlil  as  well  as  Ramman-ilani. 

This  Ramman   idol  was  transported  via  trade  routes  to  India  to  become  the  Brahman  of  Vedic  literature,  subsequently  forming  the  Hindu  religion.

The  pagan  idol  remaining  in  the  land  of  origin  became  known  as  Baal  of  Babylon.  By  trade  route  spread,  this  pagan  idol  became  arabicised  into  the  name  Al-ilah.  Al-ilah  also  had  a  consort  pagan  idol  named  Al-ilat. 

With  time,  Al-ilah  became  shortened  to  Al-lah  and  then  Allah.

The  name  Allah  became  known as the  generic  name  for  god.

The  consort  Al-ilat  became  known  as  Al-lat. Al-lat  is  one  of  the  pagan  idols  found  in  the  Ka’bah  shrine  in  Mecca  referred  to  in  the  Satanic  verses  of   Sura  53  of  the  Qur’an.

Hence  the  name  Allah  is not  the  same  name  used  by  Abraham  for God  which  should  be  El.  Even  the  name  of  Abraham’s   son  from  Hagar  is  named  after   El  as  Ishma-el.  Ishmael  is  purportedly  the  original  father  of  the  Arabs.

3   DEMON  POSSESSION

            Hindu  yogis  and  Buddhist   monks   have  been  reported  to  spend  long  solitary  periods  of  meditation  in  caves.   I  believe  during  these  yogic  meditations,  the  individual  empties  himself  of  all  worldly  thoughts  and  preoccupations.

In  this  blank  state,  the  individual  becomes  susceptible  to  a  demon  entering  his  mind,  spiritually  deceiving  him  and  taking  over  control  of  his  spirit.

Demons  are  spirits.  I  believe  they  are  fallen  angels,  chief  among  whom  is  Satan. Once  a  demon  possesses  an  individual,  the  individual  becomes  the  demon’s  slave. The  demon  will  alter  the  individual’s  beliefs  and  consequently  his  attitude  and  behavior. 

4   DEMON  POSSESSION  OF  MUHAMMED

            Muhammad  himself  admitted  that  he  was  possessed  by  a  devil:

         ‘Anas  reported  that  Gabriel  appeared  before  the  Apostle  of  Allah  (Muhammad),  while  he  was  playing  with  some  boys.  Gabriel  took  him,  laid  him  down,  pierced  his  heart,  and  took  out  a  clot  of  blood.    Then  he  said,  “This  is  the  portion  of  you  possessed  of  a  devil.”  Next,  he  washed  it  in  a  gold  cup  with  water  from  the  well  Zamzam.  Thereafter  sewed  him  up  and  took  him  back  to  where  he  found  him…’ (Attended  by  Muslim.  Al-Hadis, Volume  4  page  367)

Muhammad  himself  admitted  that  he  was  possessed  by  Satan  at  one  time:
            ‘Have  you, then, seen  Al-Lat and  Al-Uzza?
            And  Manat,  the  third  one,  the  other?
            These  are  exalted  females (sublime  ones),
            Mounting  nearer  and  nearer  to  Allah
            And  truly  their  intercession  may  be  expected.
            ( Al-Qur’an,  Sura 53  verse19-20,  and  the  Satanic  verses  in bold letters)

            The  Satanic  verses  were  present  in  the  original  version  of  the  Qur’an  when  Muhammad  was  trying  to  woo  the  Meccans  who  believed  in  many  gods  including  the  pagan  idols   Al-Lat,  Al-Uzza  and Manat.

5   MUHAMMAD  THE  DIVINE

            Muhammad  exalted  himself  to  be  part  of  the  Islamic  godhead   when  he  referred  to  Allah  in  the  plural  form:
            ‘So  turn  away  from  him  who  has  given  up  Our  mention and  only  desires  the  patient  life.’
            (Al-Qur’an.  Sura  53,  verse 29)
Muhammad  claimed  that  he  was  the  truth,  a  claim  that  only  deity  can  claim.
            ‘Abu  Qatada  reported  that  the  Messenger  of  Allah  said,  
            “Whoever  has  seen  me  has  indeed  seen  the  truth”  Agreed.
            (Al-Hadis,  Volume 2,  page 102)
Compare  this  with  what  Jesus  said  in  John  14:6
            “I  am  the  way,  the  truth  and  the  life: 
             no  man  comes  to  the  Father  but  by  me
Muhammad  also  exalted  himself  as  perfect  and  never  in  error.
            ‘By  the  star  when  it  goes  down,  
            Your  Company  has  not  gone  astray  nor  erred,
             (Al-Qur’an.  Sura  53,  verse 1-2)
The  deification   of  Muhammad  is  also  contained  in  the  Hadith.
            ‘Abu  Hurairah  reported  from  the  Holy  Prophet  who  said,
            “Verrily,  I  am  a  mercy  that  has  been  raised  up”
            Attested  by  Darimi  and  Rahaqi.
Even  a stone  was  claimed  by  Muhammad  to  greet  him.
            Jabber-b-Samorah  reported  that  the  Apostle  of  Allah  said:
            “Verrily  I  know  certainly  of  a  stone  at  Mecca
             which  used  to  greet  me  before  prophethood.
             Surely  I  recognize  it  even  now”
            Attested  by  Muslim.
            (Al-Hadis.  Volume  4,  page  367-368)
Compare  this  with  what  Jesus  said  in  Luke, Chapter  19, verse 40:
            “I  tell you,”  he  replied,  “if  they  keep  quiet,  the  stones  will  cry  out.”
The  deity  of  Muhammad  is  reinforced  by  the  Egyptian  mystic  Darimi  who  claimed  that  Muhammad  was  already  in existence  before  the  creation  of  Adam.
            ‘Darimi  reported  that  the  Messenger  of  Allah  said,
            “The  first  light  which  Allah  created  was  my  light.”
When  Adam  got  to  heaven,  he  found  Muhammad’s  name  on  Allah’s  throne  and  engraved  everywhere. 
            Adam  asked,  “Who  then  is  this  Muhammad?”  
            Allah  answered.  “He  is  your  descendent,  and  but  for  him,  I  should  not  have  created  you.”
            Allah  rebuked  Adam  for  not  praying  to  Muhammad.’
Darimi  also  reported,
             “All  of  creation  was  made  of  the  substance  of  Muhammad”


6   MUHAMMAD  THE  GURU

            A  guru  is  a  man  who  claims  divine  commission.  His  actions  reveal  that  his  objective  is  to  gather  a  following  of  people  who  are  totally  beholden  to  him  for  every  detail  of  how  life  should  be  lived.  He  exalts  himself  and  keeps  his  god  mysterious,  distant  and  unknowable,  encouraging  his  followers  to  come  to  himself  for  direction.
            The  guru  system  is  well  established  in  Hindu  beliefs  and  practices.  A  yogi  first  exalts  his  own  teacher,  even  to  the  extent  of  a  deity  so  that  he  himself  role-models  to  his  followers  to  exalt  him  and  venerate  every  word  that  proceeds  from  his  mouth  and  venerate  the  very  ground  that  he  has  walked  upon.
            The  exaltation  of  Muhammad  into  a  guru  is  reflected  in  his  sweat  being  described as  fragrant  (Al-Hadis.  Volume 4,  page 337),   and  that  he  was  more  beautiful  than  the  moon  ( Al-Hadis.  Volume 4,  page 339).
            The  veneration  given  to  the  sayings  of  Muhammad  in  the  Hadith  is  typical  of  the  guru  archetype.  
            By  exalting  himself  as  perfect,  Muhammad  sets  the  stage  for  his  followers  to  venerate  him. (Al-Hadis, Volume 4, Page  316,  323  and  328)
            One  of  the  methods  gurus  use  to  control  his  followers  is  the  use  of  repetitive  ritual  movements  and  chanting  of  words  of  obeisance  to  his  deity.
            This  is  typified  in  the  Salat,  the  five  times  a  day  ritualistic  prostration  and  chanting  of  praises  to  Allah  while  facing  toward  the  Ka’ba  in Mecca. 

7   DECEPTION  IS  THE  SIGNATURE  OF  SATAN

            God  created  angels  to  fellowship  with.  I  believe  God  gave  free  choice  to  angels,  even  the  choice  to  disobey.  Lucifer,  the  then  worship- leader  decided  to  disobey    and  persuaded  one  third  of  the  angels  to  rebel.  They  were  then  cast  out  of  heaven.  Lucifer  became  Satan,  the  accuser  of  the  brethren.
            God  created  man  to  fellowship  with.  God  gave  man  dominion  over  the  earth. 
            The  first  action  of  Satan  to  Adam  and Eve  was  deception.
To  deceive  is  to  swindle,  hoax,  cheat,  mislead,  dupe,  fool,  or  entrap.
            Satan  possessed  the  serpent  and  duped  Eve  and  Adam  into  eating  the  fruit  of  the  tree of  knowledge  of  good  and  evil,  the  one  which  God  specifically  forbade  them  to  eat.  (Genesis  3:1-7)
            By  this  hoax,  Satan  cheated   mankind   of  his  right  standing  with  God  and  dominion  over  the  earth.  Instead,  mankind,  including  myself  came  under  dominion  of  Satan  and  was  headed  for  certain  death.  
            In  the  ‘fallen’  state,  I  am  unable  to  fellowship  with God.  However,  God  still  wanted  to  fellowship  with  me. 
            The  triune  Godhead  sent  a  part  of  Himself,   Jesus  to  earth  as  a  man  to  die  and  bear  the  total  punishment  for  the  disobedience (sin)  of  all  of  mankind  so  that  in  believing  in  this  sacrifice,  my   fallen  spiritual  self  will  die  and  become  reborn  as  a  brother  or  sister  of  Christ  Jesus. 
            As  a  new  creation (2Corinthians 5:17),  I  can  directly  fellowship  with  God  by  casting  all  my  cares  to  Him,  secure  in  the  belief  that  I  have  absolute  right-standing  with  Him  ( Psalm 55:22,  1 Peter 5:7)   
            When  I  believe  in  Jesus  as  my  savior,  I  am  freed  from  bondage to  Satan.  Satan  is  powerless  to  prevent  me  from  believing  the  good  news  of  the  divine  exchange.
            What  he  can  do  is  to  deceive  me  with  alternative  routes  to  God  like  Hinduism,  Buddhism,  New  Age  and  Islam.   Satan  inspired  Hinduism  and  Buddhism  with  the  core  belief  of  Karma  and  reincarnation.   
            The  concept  of   reincarnation   has  been  debunked  by  the  concept  of  demonic  spirit  possession  explaining  all  the  ‘evidence’  proffered  for  reincarnation.  
            Hence  reincarnation  is  a  lie  and  Hinduism,  Buddhism,  and  New  Age  are  deceptions.  They  bear  the  signature  of  Satan,  which  is  deception.  
            With  the  death  burial  and  resurrection  of  Jesus,  Satan  has  had  been  stripped  of  his  power  over  me  and  over  anyone  else  who  believe  in  the  risen  Jesus  Christ.  This  is  because  at  the   name  of   Jesus  every  name  will  bow,  including  the  name,   Satan  (Philippians  2:10).


8   THE  DECEPTION  OF  ISLAM

            Muhammad  had  knowledge  of  the  Holy  Bible  from  Waraqah, the cousin of his first wife, Khadijah.         
            When  Muhammad  frequented  the  cave  at  Hira  to  meditate,  I  believe  that  the  fallen  angel  Satan  saw  an  opportunity  to  execute  his  diabolical  deception.  I  believe  the  fallen  angel  Satan  appeared  to  Muhammad  and  thoroughly  deceived  Muhammad  into  believing  that  the  he  was  Gabriel.
            Muhammad’s  description  of  experiencing  forcible  pressure  from  ‘Gabriel’,  commanding  him  to  recite,  is  a  graphic  description  of  demon  possession.  
            Thereafter,  having  duped  Muhammad  into believing  that  he  is  the  apostle  of  the  creator,  Satan  fully  possessed  Muhammad  and  inspired  in  Muhammad  a  series  of  messages  which  were  compiled  into  the  Qur’an.  
            In  order  to  be  credible,  the  messages  contained  some truthful  information  like  the  mention  that  Jesus  was  of  virgin  birth  and  that  Jesus  performed  miracles.  However,  Satan  inserted  numerous  lies  to  deceive  me  and you.
            The  main  lies  are  the  following:  

The  first  lie is  the  name  of  The  Creator,  whom  he  called  Allah.  Although  cited  as  the  God  of  Abraham,   the  name  Allah  is  actually  a  derivation  of  Al-ilah,  which  is  derived  from  Lil,  the  pagan  idol  of  ancient  Sumeria.  The  true  name  of  the  God  of  Abraham  is  El  or  El-Elyon  contained  in  the  Torah. 
             I  believe  to  substitute  the  pagan  idol  name  Allah  for  El  when  denoting  God  the Creator  is  to  blaspheme  in  a  most  heinous  way.  How  has  this  occurred?  I  believe  Satan  has  insidiously  deceived  the  pagan  ancient  Arabs  to  use  the  name  ilah  to  denote  the  generic  word  ‘god’.  Since  then,  the  Arabic  language  has  been  tainted  with  this  Satanic  stain.   
            I  also  believe  in  610  AD,  in  a  cave  at  Hira,  Muhammad  himself  was  deceived  by  a  demon  into  believing  the  name  of   God  the  Creator  was  Allah.  By  this  deception,  Satan  has  hijacked  the  worship  that  was  meant  for  God  the  Creator  who  was  called  El  by  Abraham. 
            This  deception  is  so  pervasive  that  even  in  the  Al-Kitab,  the  Holy  Bible  in  Arabic  and  in  Bahasa  Indonesia,  the  name  used  to  denote  God  is  Allah.  Hence  I  believe  all  Muslims  as  well  as  those  Christians  who  use  the  Arabic  translations  of  the  Holy  Bible  have  been  duped  by  Satan  in  a  most  diabolical  way.   
            In  order  to  repair  the  hedge  of  protection  for  Arabic  and  Bahasa  speaking  Christians,  it  is  imperative  to  immediately  replace  the  name,  Allah  with  El.

The  second  lie  is  the  hijacking  of  the  monotheistic  ‘one god’  idea  to  mean  one  body  called  Allah  instead  of  the  true  triune  Godhead  of  God  the  Father (Abba),  God  the  Son (Jesus)  and  God  the  Holy  Spirit. 
            The  third  lie  is  to  indicate  that  Jesus  did not  say  that  He  was  the  Son  of  God  when  the  exact  opposite  is  true. (Matt 26:63-64)
            The  fourth  lie  is  to  indicate  that  Jesus  did  not  die  and  resurrect  from  death,   but  someone  else  was  placed  on  the  cross  instead  (Sura 4:157-158).
            There is  compelling  evidence,  for  the  death,  burial  and  resurrection  of  Jesus. (Reference: pp 215-240. The best of Josh McDowell. A ready defence. 1993)
            The  fifth  lie  is  to  indicate  that  Muhammad  is  the  Comforter (Paraclete)   instead of the Holy  Spirit.  
            It  is  stated  very  clearly  that   the  Comforter  will  ‘reprove  the  world  of  righteousness  because   Jesus  goes  to  His  Father’  (John 16:7-11).  Yet  Muhammad  denies  that  God  is  Jesus’ father.   This  automatically  disqualifies  Muhammad  from  being  the  Comforter.   
            I  believe  quotation  of   Bible  verses  only  when   it  appears  to  agree  with   the  Qur’an  and  ignoring  the  others  and  ignoring  the  context  is  deceptive.  
            Deception  is  the  signature  of  Satan.
            The  sixth  lie  is  that  the  Ka’ba,  which  contained  360  pagan  idols  is  the  shrine  set  up  by  Abraham  to  worship  Allah.  
            Abraham  was  never  in  the  vicinity  of  Mecca.  Abraham  migrated  from  Ur  of  the  Chaldees   up  the  Euphrates  to  Syria  and  then  through  Canaan   south  to  Egypt  and   then  back  to  Canaan.  The   desert  of   Paran  is  in  the  Sinai  peninsula  and  not  the  Arabian  peninsula  (Genesis 21:21).
            The  seventh  lie  is  that  Muhammad’s  name  is  mentioned  in  the  Gnostic  ‘Gospel of St. Barnabas’.  However,  the  only  version  of  this  is  an  obvious  fake  dating  from  the  18^th  century,  in  Italian,  and  containing  passages  from  Dante’s  Divine  Comedy  written  in  the  13^th century. 
            The  purpose  of  Satan’s  deception  is  to  downplay  the  truth   about  Jesus  and  to   exalt  the  pagan  idol,  Allah.


9   A  TREE  IS  JUDGED  BY  ITS  FRUIT

            A  good  tree  will  bear  good  fruit  and  a  bad  tree  will  bear  bad  fruit  (Matthew  7:17-18). 
            Let  us  see  what  fruit  Muhammad  bore  after  his  spirit  was  possessed  by  Satan.  
            Before  his  exposure  to  the  demon  at  the  cave  at  Hira,  Muhammad  was  reported  to  be  a  peaceful  man  with  one  wife.  
            However  after  his  call  by  Allah,  he  started  to  indulge  in  deception,  highway  robbery,  banditry,  rape  and  killing.
            When  Muhammad  was  49  years  old,  a  few  weeks  after  the  death  of  his  first  wife  Khadija  in  619 AD,  Muhammad  married  Sauda  bint  Zamaa  who  was  a  widow  and  about  30  years  of  age.
            When  Muhammad  was  53  years  of  age,  he  married  Aisha  bint  abi  Bakr in  623  AD,  when  she  was  still  a  9  year  old  child!
            When  Muhammad  was  55  years  of  age,  he  married  Hafsa  bint  Umar  ibn  al  Khattab  in  625 AD.  She  was  a   young  17  year old  widow.
            In  the  same  year,  Muhammad  married  Zainab  bint  Khuzaima,  a twice  widow,  but  she  died  a  few  months  after  the  marriage.
            Muhammad’s  sixth  wife  was  Umm  Salama,  a  widow  of  about  age  30.
            Muhammad  married  his  own  cousin,  Zainab  bint  Jahash.   She  was also  the  divorced  wife  of  his  adopted  son,  Zaid  ibn  Haritha.
            At  the  age  of   57 years,  in  April  627  AD,  Muhammad   ‘married’  his  Jewess  prisoner  Rahaina  bint  Amr,   after  executing  all  the  adult  males  of  a  Jewish  tribe  Beni  Quraidha,  including  her  father.  It  is  interesting  that  Muhammad  had sexual intercourse with  his  prisoner  before  her  next  menses,  contrary  to  his  own  rule  regarding  sexual intercourse  with  captured  women.
            In  January  628 AD,  at  the  age  of  58,  Muhammad  raided  the  tribe  of  Beni  Mustaliq  and  captured  and  ‘married’  Juwairiya ,  the  daughter  of  the  chief  of   that  tribe.
            In  the  same  year,  Umm  Habeeba  bint  abi  Sofian,  a  widow  became  his  tenth  wife.
            After  his  followers  raided  Kheibar  and  killed  Kinana  ibn  abi  al  Huqaiq,  its  Jewish  leader,  they  captured  his  wife,  Safiya  bint  Huyai  ibn  al  Akhtab,  whom  Muhammad  conveniently  ‘married’. 
            Maimoona  bint  al  Harith   married  Muhammad   when  he  was  59  years  of  age.
            Muhammad’s  thirteenth  and  last  marriage  was  to  Mary  a  Christian  slave  girl  given  to  Muhammad  by  the  ‘ruler’  of  Egypt. 
            Interestingly,  although  Muhammad  pronounced  that  a  believer  of  Allah  can  have  only  up  to  four  wives  at  a  time,  he  himself  had  a  special  divine  dispensation  to  exceed  that  number. 
            After  his  escape  from  Mecca  to  Medina,  Muhammad  commenced  a  series  of  bloody  raids  on  the  caravans  from  Mecca  in  order  to  capture  booty.   
            Interestingly,  according  to  Muhammad,  this  activity  was  sanctioned  by  Allah  as  Jihad  and  one  fifth  of  the  booty  goes  to  Allah  (Khumus).  Call  it  what  you  may  but  I  consider  it  as  highway  robbery  all  the  same.   The  raids  progressively  became  bolder  and   included  raids  on  neighboring  settlements  and  tribes.
            After  the  siege  of  Medina  failed,  Muhammad  settled  old  scores  by  capturing  the  settlement  of  the  Jewish  tribe  Beni  Quraidha  who  had  sided  with  the  pagan  Meccans.  He  robbed  them  of  all  their  property,  sold  their  women   and  children  as  slaves,  and  he  executed  all  the  adult  males  who  numbered  between  700  and  800.  This  effectively  exterminated  the  entire  tribe. 
            It  appears  that  for  Muhammad,  the  end  justifies  the  means,  even  the  use  of  deception.  
            While  he  was  busily  insisting  that  there  is  only  one  god,  Allah,  he  found  it  appropriate  to  deceive  the  pagan  Meccans   by  stating  the  Al-Lat,  Al Uzza   and  Manat  the  popular  female  idols  of  the  Ka’ba  can  be  prayed  to  for  intercession  to  Allah (Sura 53).  
            After  he  became  more  powerful,  he  deleted  these  embarrassing  verses  by  giving  the  convenient  excuse as  well  as  an  admission  that  they  were  inspired  by  Satan. 
            I  believe  this  occurrence  enormously  increases  the probability  that  the  entire  Qur’an  and  Hadith   were  inspired  by   Satan  for  the  deception  of  mankind.


10  THE  FIVE  PILLARS  OF  DEMONIC  ISLAM

            The  first  pillar  is  the  testimony  of  faith.  This  is  to  declare  that  Allah  is  the  one  and  only  creator  god   and  Muhammad  is  his  Apostle.  
            As  was  already  pointed  out,  the  name  Allah  actually  denotes  the  name  of  a  pagan  idol.  Declaring  this  testimony  of  faith  is  tantamount  to  declaring  belief  in  a  pagan  idol,  allowing  the  demon  who  has  possessed  that  idol  free  rein  to  possess  whosoever  declares  this  testimony.
            I  believe  Muhammad  is  truly  the  apostle  of   the  pagan   idol  Allah  and  it’s  possessing  demon,  whom  I  believe  to  be  none  other  than  Satan  himself.

            The  second  pillar  is  the  ritual  prayer  Salat,  which  is  the  five  times  a  day  obeisance  in  the  direction  of  the  Ka’ba  in  Mecca ( Qibla). 
            This  involves  several  rakaa  or  repetitions  of  obeisance.   
            The  Islamic  believer’s  hands  are  raised  and  he  says  “Allah  is  most  great”,  the  hands  are  the  joined  at  the  chest  and  the  worshipper  says,  “ Glory  be  to  You,  O  Allah,  Yours  is  the  praise,  blessed  is  Your  Name,  exalted  is  Your  Majesty  and  there  is  no  god  but  You.  I  take  refuge  with  Allah  against  the  devil  who  is  stoned.”  Then  the  Fatiha  or  opening  chapter  of  the  Qur’an  is  recited.  
            Praise  be  to  Allah,  the  Lord  of  the  Worlds (ie  the  whole  creation),
            The  Compassionate,  the  Merciful,
            Master  of  the  day  of  judgement,
            Only  You  do  we  worship,  and  only  You  do  we  implore  for  help.
            Lead  us  to  the  right  path,
            The  path  of  those  you  have  favoured
            Not  those  who  have  incurred  Your  wrath  or  have  gone  astray.
            The  worshipper  then  recites  a  chapter  of  the  Qur’an  of  his  choice  and  the  says, “Allah  is  most  great”  and  then  bows  from  the  waist,  with  the  palms  of  his  hand  on  his  knees,  saying  three  times,  “Glory  to  my  Lord,  the  Great”. 
            The  worshipper  then  stands  and  says,  “Allah  hears  him  who  praises  Him.  O  Lord,  Yours  is  the  praise.”  
            He  then  falls  to  his  knees  and  bends  his  body  forwards  with  his  forehead  touching  the  ground,  repeating  thee  times,  “Glory  to  my  Lord,  the  Most  High.”  
            He  then  straightens  up  his  body  while  still in  the  kneeling  position,  and  sits  on  his  heels  for  a  few  moments  and  the  repeats  the  prostration  with  his  forehead  to  the  ground.  
            He  then  stands  up  in  completion  of  the  Rakaa.  The  Rakaa is  repeated,  the  number of  times  varies  on  different  occasions.
            I  believe  this  ritual  of  obeisance  to  the  pagan  idol  Allah,  repeated  five  times  a  day,  ensures  the  demon  possessing  the  idol  to  be  invited  to  control  the  mind  and  spirit  of  the  deceived  worshipper.     
            I  now  understand  why  it  is  required  for  believers  in  Islam  to  repeat  this  obeisance  five  times  a  day.  It  is  necessary  in  order  to  edify  the  effete  idol  and  the  demon  which  possesses it,  as  well  as  to  ensure  that  the  worshipper  remains  obedient  to  the  demonic  possessing  spirit  without  questioning.  
            I  also  understand  why  believers  of  Islam  are  commanded  to  recite  the  Qur’an  rather  than  to  study  the  Qur’an.  To study  means  to  dissect  and  analyze.  I  believe  that  analysis  of  the  Qur’an  will  reveal  numerous  inconsistencies  that  will  generate  doubt  in  the truth  of  Islam.

            The  third  pillar  of  Islam  is  giving  zakat  (alms  to  the  poor).  I  believe  this  reflects   Mammad’s  orphan  beginnings.  Moreover,  charity  lends  an  air  of  social  acceptability   and  legitimacy. 

The  fourth  pillar  of  Islam  is  the  annual  fast  in  the  month  of   Ramadan. Depriving  oneself   of  sustenance  on  command  is  an  act  of  obedience  and  subservience. 
            I  believe,  once  a  year,  believers  of  Islam  rededicate  themselves  to  acknowledging,  in  a  very  tangible  and  personal  way,  that  the  pagan  idol  named  Allah  is  their  master.  
            It   is  interesting  to  note  that   in  Hebrew,   ‘master’  is  ‘baal’.

The  fifth  pillar  of  Islam  is  the  Hajj  or  pilgrimage  to  Mecca. 
            It  is  recommended  that  a  believer  in  Islam  perform  the  Hajj  at  least  once  in  his  lifetime. 
             I  believe  that  this  pilgrimage  is  a  further  act  of  obeisance  to  the  pagan  idol,  named  Allah.
            The  Hajj,  as  practiced  by  believers  of  Islam  today,  appears  to  be  a  re-enactment  of  Muhammad’s  last  pilgrimage  on  9  March  632 AD.  The  ceremonies  included  the  wearing  of  special  pilgrim  dress,  the  travel  from  Medina (Yathrib)  to  Mecca,  the  ritual  throwing  of  stones  at  the  devil  at  Mudzalifa,  the  slaughtering  of  sacrificial  animals  at  Mina,  and  the  seven  time  circumambulation  of  the  Ka’ba.
            I  believe  that  every  detail  of  the  ceremony  as  laid  down  by  Muhammad  has  a  demonic  significance. 
            The  ritual  throwing  of  stones  at  the  devil  is  a  deceptive  ploy  to  dupe  the  believer  of  Islam  that  mere  stone  throwing  will  hurt  a  demon. 
            The  slaughtering  of  sacrificial  animals  is  to  mimic  the  story  of  Abraham  and  the  cutting  of  the  covenant  between  El-Elyon  and  Abraham,  in  order  to  lend  legitimacy  to  Islam. 
            However,  I  believe  with  the  shedding  of  innocent  blood  in  this  sacrifice,  a  blood  covenant  is  being  cut  between  the  pagan  idol,  named  Allah  and  the  unsuspecting  pilgrim. 
            The  Ka’ba  was  a  pagan  shrine  to  360  idols  even  before  Muhammad  was  born.  It  was  originally  a  four  walled  building  containing  pictures  and  stone  idols.
            In  one  of  its  walls  is  a  stone,  believed  to  be  a  meteorite,  which  was  worshipped  as  Al-Uzza,  one  of  the  three  female  idols  referred  to  in  the  Satanic  verses  contained  in  the  original,  unexpurgated  version  of  Sura  53  of  the  Qur’an.   The  Ka’ba  was  rebuilt  and  roofed  in 605  AD  when  Muhammad was  35  years  of  age.  
            It  was  the  practice  of  the  Quraish  tribe  of  Mecca  to  worship  the  pagan  idols  by  walking  and  running  around  (circumambulating)  the  Ka’ba  and  touching  the  Black  Stone. 
            Muhammad  practiced  this  idol  worship  before  his  encounter  with  who  he  thought  was  the  angel  Gabriel  at  the  age  of  40  in 610  AD. 
            Even after  the  call,  he  continued  the  practice  of  worshipping  at  the  Ka’ba  in  spite  of  his  insistence  that  there  was  only  one  god. 
            Except  for  a period  when   he  directed  his  followers  to  worship  in the  direction  of  Jerusalem,  Muhammad  required  that  the  Salat,  or  the  5  times  daily  devotions   be  directed  (Qibla) towards  the  Ka’ba  in  Mecca. 
           When  Muhammad  returned  to  Mecca  in  victory  in  630 AD,  he  entered  the  Ka’ba  and  ordered  all the  painted  figures  on  the  walls  to  be  erased  and  all  idols   in  areas  under  his  control  to  be  destroyed.
            It  is  believed  by  believers  of  Islam  that  the  Ka’ba   was  the  site  of  a  shrine  built  by  Abraham  to  worship  his  God.  This  is  an  attempt  to  lend  legitimacy  to  the  Qibla.  
            However,  Abraham  was  never  in  the  vicinity  of  Mecca  in  his  lifetime. 
            I  believe  the  Hajj  pilgrimage  to  Mecca  and  the  ritualistic  circumambulation  of   the  Ka’ba  is  a  continuation  of  the  pagan  worship  before  the  birth  of  Muhammad.   
            After  the  return  of  Muhammad  to  Mecca,  instead  of  patently  worshipping  many  pagan  idols,  pilgrims  are  unwittingly  worshipping  one  pagan  idol  called  Allah.  
            I  believe  the  touching  of  the  Black  Stone  seals  the  covenant  between  the  pagan  idol  named  Allah  and  the  pilgrim.
            I  believe  this  is  the  reason  why  believers  of  Islam  are  required  to  go  for  the  Hajj  at  least  once  in  their  lifetime.

            The  sixth  religious  duty  is  Jihad (Holy  War). 
            Men  are  required  to  go  to  war  to  defend  Islam  or  to  spread  Islam  when  the  situation  warrants. 
            A  man  who  dies  in  Jihad  immediately  goes  to  Paradise  and  is  considered  a  martyr (Shahid). 
            

11  THE  BASE  ALLURE  OF  ISLAM

It  is  easy  to  be  converted  to  Islam.  All  a  person  is  required  to  do  is  to  declare  the  creed  openly. 
            It  appears  that  actual  believing  is  not  necessarily required.
            It  is  easy  to  appear  to  be  a  Muslim. 
            All  a  person  is  required  to  do  is  to  perform  the  Salat,  the  five  times  a  day   prayer,  fast  for  one  month  in  a  year,  give  alms  to  the  poor  and  attempt to  go  for  the  Hajj  once  in  his  lifetime.   This  would  assure  the  person  of  acceptance  by  Allah.
            It  is  interesting  that  the  performance  of  the  five  pillars  of  Islam  would  guarantee  salvation  from  Allah  and  that   a  Muslim  can  do  any   dastardly  act   and   yet  qualify  to  go  to  Paradise.  How  very  ‘liberating’.
            Islam  appeals  to  the  ‘animal’  desires  of  men. 
            Believers  are  allowed  up  to  four  wives  at  a  time. 
            During  Jihad,  the  Muta  marriage  law  legitimizes  rape  by  permitting  the  Muslim  to  ‘marry’ a  woman  for  three  days  on  presenting  her  with  a  piece  of  cloth. 
            The  Muslin  concept  of  Paradise  panders  to  the  sexual lust  of  men.  They  recline  on  beds  interwoven  with  gold,  supplied  with  unlimited  limpid  drink,  fruits  and  flesh  of  fowl  and  wide-eyed  houris  (heavenly  concubines),  like  hidden  pearls,  as  a  reward  for  what  they  do  (Al Qur’an  Sura 56,  verses  15-24).  
            Muhammad  was  reported  to  have  said, “ There  is  in  Paradise  a  market,  wherein  there  will  be  no  buying  or  selling,  but  will  consist  of  men  and  women.  When  a  man  will  desire  a  beauty,  he  will  have  intercourse  with  them.”  Reported  by  Ali  and  attested  by  Tirmizi (Al Hadis,  Book 4, Chap 42, no. 34).
            In  Paradise,  a  man  will  be  able  to  see  the  nakedness of  a  woman  through  seventy  layers  of  dresses  (no 652). 
            It  is  clear  that  sexual  lust  is  the  uppermost  consideration  in  the  eyes  of  Muhammad.
            The  only  way  a  woman  can  get  to  heaven  is  by  marrying  a  Muslim  man.  This  way  she  can  ‘enjoy’  seeing  her  husband  having sexual intercourse  with  innumerable  young  women  from  the  market  of  virgins,   and  ‘enjoy’  having  other  men  looking  through  her  clothing  at  her  nakedness. 
            Participating  in  Jihad  is  attractive  because  the  martyr  is  immediately  transferred  to  Paradise  to  have sexual intercourse  with  virgins.  If  the  warrior  does  not  die,  he  has  the  spoils  (booty)  to  enjoy.   
           Why  don’t  women  reject  this  discrimination  against  them? 
            By  participating  in  the  rituals  of  obeisance  to  the  pagan  idol  named  Allah,  they  become  demon  possessed  and  thus  become  blind  to  reason  and  truth.


12  THE  QUR’AN  IS  NOT  PERFECT       

            By  definition,  the  Qur’an  is  the  complete  collection  of  the  revelations  to  Muhammad  by  the  angel  Gabriel  from  Allah.  It  is  claimed  that  it  is  the  same  today  as  it  was  handed  down   by  Muhammad  to  his  companions.  This  is  offered  as  proof  that    the  Qur’an  must  be  the  word  of  God.
            However,  from  the  various  Hadith  (  Bukhari,  Muslim,  Mishkat-ul-masbih),  that  from  the  start,  the  Qur’an  had  many  varied  and  conflicting  readings.  The  choice and  method  of  standardization  was   not  by  divine  intervention  but  by  the  work  of  man.   
            The  Caliph  Uthman,  noting  that  there  were  many  versions  of  the  Qur’an,   called  for  the  copy  belonging  to  Hafsah (one  of  the  wives  of  Muhammad  and  daughter  of  Umar),  and  had  it  copied  and  distributed  throughout   the  Islamic  realm  and  had  all  other  versions  destroyed  by  burning.
            There is  evidence  that  this  ‘Revised  Standard  Version’  was  not  perfect.   Sura  33, verse  23  was  initially  missing,  and  the  readings  on  stoning  for  adultery is  still not  included  in  the  Qu’ran  (Ibn  Ishaq,  Sirat  Rasulullah, pg 684).
            If  every  word  in  the  Qur’an  is  supposed  to  be  the  inspired  of  Allah,  then  why  are  Jewish  folklore  included  in  it? 
            The  story  of  the  raven  scratching  on  the  ground  in  the  story  of  Cain  and  Abel  ( Surah 5,  verse  31.  &    Pirke  Rabbi  Eliezer   Chapter 21).   
            The  killing  of  one  human  being  as  equivalent  to  killing  all  mankind  (  Surah 5, verse 32.  &   Mishnah, Sanhedrin Chapter 4, verse 5).
            The  story  of  Abraham  being  thrown  into  a  fiery  furnace  (Surah 21, verses 52-70   &   Midrash Rabbah,  where  the Ur of Chaldees  was  mistaken for Or (fire)  of  Chaldees


13  THE  QUR’AN  IS  DEMON  INSPIRED

            I  believe  The  Qur’an  contains  material  that  is  demon  inspired.

            There  are  prophecies  and  insights  contained  in  the  Qur’an  and  the  Sunnah  which  cannot  be  explained  by  human  intelligence  at  the  time  they  were  written.  These  have  been  proffered as  evidence  for  the  claim  that  the  Qur’an  was  divinely  inspired.

These  include  the prophecy  on  the  victory  of  the  Byzantines  over  the  Persians  within  nine  years  after   their  initial  loss,   as  well  as  insights  on  scientific  knowledge,  viz.  the  description  on  the  joining and  stacking  of  clouds,   the  role  of  hailstones  in  the formation  of   lightning,   mountains  as  pegs,  the darkness in  the deep  sea,  the  waves  inside  the  ocean,  the  partition of  seas  and  estuaries,  the  snow  age,   the  rotation  and  orbiting of  the  earth,  the  origin  of  the  universe  through  smoke,  pain  sensation  from  burn,  the  front  of  the  brain  as  responsible  for  lying  and  the  early  development of  the  human  embryo.

I  believe  when  Lucifer  was  cast  down  to earth  together  with  his  fallen  angels,  he  became  known  as  Satan,  the  accuser  of  the  brethren.  Because  these  fallen  angels  are  spirit  and  unable  to  effect  change  on  earth  except  through  spirit  possession  of  human  beings,  they  have  perfected  the  skill of  possessing  people’s  minds  and  invented  the  concept  of  reincarnation  to  deceive  people  into  accepting  their  repeated  possession  of  people. 

There  is  no  reincarnation  of  the  original  spirits  of  people  which  are  from  El-Elyon,  the  true  creator.   There  is  only  repeated  spirit  possession  of  people  by  the  spirits  of  fallen angels (demonic  spirits)  which  is  their  ‘reincarnation’. 

I  believe  the  original  El-Elyon  given  spirit  is  given  at  conception,  after  the  sperm  enters  the  egg  and  they  fuse  to  become  another  new,  distinct   and  unique  individual.   

            Demon  possession  can  occur  any  time  after conception.  I  believe  that  the  possessing  demon  is  able  to  retain  memory  of  its  experience  in  the  body of  the  possessed  person.  Hence  the  knowledge  of  the  early  development  of  the  embryo.  This  knowledge  was  revealed  to  Muhammad   by  the  demon  which  possessed  him.  Hence  knowledge of  human  anatomy  and  function  can also  be  accounted  for. 

I  believe  the  demons  inhabit  the  realm  of  principalities  and  powers,  which  include  the  air,  sea  and  earth  (Ephesians 2:2)  Hence  their  knowledge  of  the  geological,  meteorological  and  astronomical  phenomena.

Their  objective  is  to  impress  mankind  and  deceive  us  into  believing  that  this  knowledge  is  from  the  creator.  Again,  deception,  the  signature  of  Satan, is  seen.

What  about  prophecy?   Even  the  evil  Balaam  was  able  to  prophesy.   
            What  about  the  miracles  like  splitting  the  moon  and   producing  water  from  his  hand ?   Even  Hindu  yogis  have  been  reported  to  perform  miraculous  acts.  I  believe  the  power  to  do  this  is  demonic


14  ONLY  THE  PRETENDER  NEEDS  TO  PROVE  HIMSELF

            The  true  creator  does  not  need  to  prove  himself  as  the  creator.
            A  pretender  needs  to  prove  himself  to  mankind.
            I  believe  Satan  is  pretending  to  be  the  creator.
            Satan  is  using  the  pagan  idol  named  Allah  to  represent  himself  as  the  creator. 

This  explains  why  the  five  pillars  of  Islam  is  so  important  to  Satan.  In  order  to  qualify  for  salvation,  a  believer  in  Islam  is  required  to  recite  the  creed  that  there is  only  one  creator  named  Allah  and  that  Muhammad  is  his  messenger.  Moreover  it  is  also  a  requirement  to  pay  homage  by  worshipping   not  once  but  five  times  a  day  to  Allah  in  the  Salat  ritual  prayers.  It  is  also  a  requirement  to  go  on  a  pilgrimage  to  Mecca  to  perform  the  ritual  of  obeisance  to  Allah,  including  the  cutting  of  a  blood  covenant  with  Allah  at  least  once in a lifetime.

The  status  of  salvation  of   a  believer  in  Allah  is  insecure.  It  is  dependent  on  his  effort  to  perform  the  rituals  required  by  the  five  pillars  of  Islam. 

On  the  other  hand,   I  believe  the  true  creator,  El-Elyon   does  not  need  anyone  to  pay  homage to  Him. I  believe  that  He  remains  almighty  whether  people  worship  Him or  not.  I  believe  my  maker  is  absolutely  holy  and  there  is  no  way  I  can  even  come  close  to  His  holiness  and   achieve  salvation  by my  own  efforts.

Abba  will send  the  Holy  Spirit (Paraclete)  to  dwell  within  me  and  guide  me  to  focus  on  Jesus  in  my  decisions.  The  Holy  Spirit  will  never  leave  me  nor  forsake  me  forever.    

Abba  will  not  insist  that  I  worship  Him  five  times  a  day  nor  will  he  require  me  to  go  on  a  pilgrimage  to Jerusalem  in   order  to  maintain  right  standing  with  Him  and  to  preserve  my  salvation.  

I  worship  my  maker  because  I  am  grateful  for  His  mercy  and  grace  for  saving  me  even  though  I  do  not  deserve  to  be  saved  (Romans 3:23). 

I  praise  Him  and  pay  homage  to  Him  because  I  want  to  do  so,   not  because  I  have  to  do  so. 

I  believe  I  will  never  lose  my   status  as  the  beloved  of   my  Abba (Father)  forever  no  matter  what  I  do  or  don’t  do  after  I  have  accepted  Jesus  Christ  as  my  Lord  and  Savior (Romans 3:22).

Allah, divine or demonic. By Steve van Nattan. 1995.  

The available Aramaic bible is corrupted.  

Can a devout Muslim be an Australian (or a citizen of any other Christian country) and a loyal citizen at the same time?

I forwarded that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for
over 20 years.

The following is his forwarded reply:

Theologically, no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of
Arabia . Religiously, no. Because no other religion is accepted by his
Allah except Islam (Koran, 2:256)
 
Scripturally, no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam
and the Koran.
Geographically, no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he
turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially, no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make
friends with Christians or Jews. Politically, no. Because he must submit
to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and
destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically, no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat
and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Koran  4:34)..
Intellectually, no. Because he cannot accept the Australian Constitution
since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be
corrupt.

Philosophically, no. Because Islam, Muhammad and the Koran do not allow
freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist.
Every Moslem government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
 
Spiritually, no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the
Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as
heavenly father, nor is he ever called Love in the Koran's 99 excellent
names." 

Therefore after much study and deliberation .... perhaps we should be
very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be
both "good" Muslims and good Australians.

Call it what you  wish ..... it's still the truth.
