CHAPTER 13

And he shall destroy
the mighty and the holy people,
and through his policy also
he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;
and by peace shall destroy many.
Dan 8:24-25

All Koranic quotes and all information about Muhammad and Islam is
quoted from Islam Reviewed, 2nd American Edition (Fish House
Publishing, Fort Myers FL, 1999) With full permission of M. Ali, the
author. M. Ali is a well educated former Muslim who is now a Christian
and an evangelist to Moslems.

IF we listen to the American media, President Bush and other politicians,
we hear that this isn’t really a religious war, that Islam is peace, and
even love. It is the big lie. From openly biased Islamic professors in our
universities, we also hear that the United States’ war on terrorist groups
in Afghanistan and elsewhere isn’t justified. That’s another big lie –
talking heads trying to lull the American people asleep to the hidden
danger we all face. It isn’t hijacked planes or potential bio-chemical
attacks that we need to worry about, but fundamental Islam itself.
       It is significant that President Bush didn’t name the terrorist
organizations in Israel and that Colin Powell, the US Secretary of State,
continually pressures Israel to implement a so-called “road map to
peace” with terrorist groups. The reason, of course, is to keep the
petroleum rich Islamic states from shutting off our oil supply. A
pragmatic policy, perhaps, but morally bankrupt.
       Yasser Arafat and his associates (the Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, the
PFLP and the Palestinian Authority) are continually being implicated in
 
The Big Lie 132

the every-day shootings and bombings taking place in Israel – women
and children being murdered by snipers. Despite the public face Arafat
and Abu Mazan show to the West, their many speeches in the Arab
states call for the complete destruction of Israel. If you question the
validity of that statement, just go to Arutz Sheva,
http://www.israelnationalnews.com or read any less Arab biased
newspaper.
       The Iranian and Syrian sponsored Hizbollah (Party of Allah)
bombard northern Israel with rocket-propelled grenades and artillery,
and they continually set ambushes and booby traps for Israeli soldiers.
Philip Schaff, in writing on the history of the Christian church, clearly
states the Islamic mind-set:

“The Sword”, says Muhammad “is the key of heaven and hell; a
drop of blood shed in the cause of Allah, a night spent in arms, is
of more avail than two months of fasting and prayer; whoever falls
in battle, his sins are forgiven, and at the day of judgment his limbs
shall be supplied by the wings of angels and cherubim.” This was
the secret of his success. Idolaters had to choose between Islam,
slavery and death; Jews and Christians were allowed to purchase
a limited toleration by the payment of Jizya (humility tax), but were
nonetheless kept in degrading bondage ... The khalifs,
Muhammad’s successors who like him united the priestly and
kingly divinity, carried on his conquests with the battle cry:
“Before you is paradise, behind you are death and hell.” Inspired
by the weakness of the Byzantine empire and the internal
distraction of the Greek church, the wild sons of the desert who
were content with the plainest food, and disciplined in the school
of war, hardship and recklessness of life, subdued Palestine, Syria
and Egypt, embracing the classical soil of primitive Christianity.
Thousands of Christian churches in the patriarchal diocese of
Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria were ruthlessly destroyed or
converted into mosques. Twenty years after Muhammad’s death,
the crescent ruled over a realm as large as the Roman Empire.

The command to fight for the cause of Allah is given in many Suras of
the Koran:

"Then fight in the cause of God and know that God heareth and
knoweth all things" (Sura 2:244).
 
The Big Lie 133

The command to fight relentlessly is given in Sura 4:74. In Sura 8:65,
Allah encouraged Muhammad to incite Moslems to fight. Listen to Allah
giving the Jihad order:

"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the
pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them and
lie in wait (ambush) for them in every stratagem (of war) but if they
repent, and establish regular prayers (to Allah) and practice regular
charity, then open the way for them: for God is oft-forgiving most
merciful" (Sura 9:5).

"O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers ... " (Sura 9:123).

Those who are ignorant of the Koran and Islam are astonished when they
hear about Islam’s slaughtering of Christians, but Moslems are just
doing what they think is right. Allah specifically commands Moslems to
fight against Christians and Jews until they are reduced to a condition
worse than slaves:

“Fight those who believe not in God [Allah] and his apostle
[Muhammad], nor acknowledge the religion of truth [even if they
are] of the people of the book [i.e. Jews and Christians], until they
pay jizya [humiliating tax] with willing submission, and feel
themselves subdued [enslaved]” (Sura 9:29).

       In obedience to Allah’s call to fight, Muhammad spent a great deal
of his own time between the Hijra (flight) and his death, mapping out
strategies for the purpose of spreading Islam, personally getting involved
in ambushes and other battles. Islamic historians themselves confirm that
Muhammad was present at twenty six such armed conflicts and fought
actively in nine (Risalatu Abdullah & C., 47, CF. Ibn Hisham Vol. 3, P.
78).
       Many try to explain away the high level of terrorism perpetrated by
various Islamic groups, but all recognize Jihad as part of today’s reality.
Enthusiastically employed as a means of propagating Islam during the
dark ages, Jihad now embarrasses many moderate Moslems. But despite
the views of moderate Islamic governments, if fundamentalism becomes
the dominant belief of their people, those governments will either agree
to fundamentalist demands or those governments will fall. The ousting
of the Shah of Iran is a good example.
 
The Big Lie 134

       Faithful Moslems have been drumming Islam’s militant agenda for
decades, but the West didn’t think it needed to worry.1 Before Israel
even became a state, Ayatollah Khomeini was going into all the Islamic
colleges, theological seminaries and schools in Iran, teaching them a five
point agenda:

Stage 1: Iran must become a theocratic, fundamentalist Islamic State.
Stage 2: Iraq must become a theocratic, fundamentalist Islamic
State (which may soon happen).
Stage 3: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, have to become
fundamentalist, theocratic Islamic States.
Stage 4: Jerusalem must be retaken and the Jewish people
destroyed.
Stage 5: Conquest of the nations.

       As recent history shows, Stage 1 has been accomplished and there
is no Muslim, fundamentalist or moderate, who does not also believe in
stages 4 and 5. That is so important, I must say it again: There is no
Muslim, fundamentalist or moderate, who does not also believe in stages
4 and 5. Those five stages are bonds that unite all Moslems, regardless
of sect or geographic location. Let’s say it again, Islam’s ambitions are:

(1) Annexation of Jerusalem and annihilation of the Jews
(2) Obliteration of Christianity
(3) Conquest of all nations.

To most Moslems, the failure to achieve those objectives means the
failure of Islam and consequently, the failure of Allah – an unimaginable
blasphemy to them. Islam will never renounce its claim to Jerusalem,
neither will it relent in its effort to destroy the Jews. In 1984, Ayatollah
Khomeini declared to the entire world:

“In order to achieve the victory of Islam in the world, we need to
provoke repeated crises, restored value to the idea of death and
martyrdom. If Iran has to vanish, that is not important. The
important thing is to engulf the world in crises. Those who are
called to export the revolution will lose their unhealthy desire for

2 In a 3/22/99 speech delivered in Egypt, Hillary Clinton, wife of the former American
president, declared that the United States would be more accepting of Islam in the future.
Total insanity! If fundamental Islam ever gains political control in the United States,
individual freedom and freedom of worship will be a thing of the past, just as it is in all
teeocratic Islamic states today.

comfort and will attain the maturity needed to fulfill their mission.
The road to Jerusalem goes through Kerbala.” (an Iraqi town)1

       These are not the words of a naive, overwrought, emotional fanatic
with stone-age ideas, as the West mistakenly concludes. Ayatollah
Khomeini was one of the most politically astute theological minds in the
Islamic world. He was able to perfectly express the mind of Allah and
Islam, and though he has been long dead, his manifesto lives on. One
prays that United States political thinkers will heed what is written here,
but the government is now so politically and morally compromised, that
any departure from a policy of appeasing Islam is most unlikely. Blindly
optimistic, the American bureaucracy totally ignores the Islamic view of
a treaty signed with infidels. In the Moslem mind, any agreement made
with an infidel is not binding.
       If the Koran is to be accepted at face value, and Muhammad is to be
considered to be the model of correct Islamic behavior, those so called
“extremists” or “fundamentalists” are the true Moslems. Moslems who
are hungry for Christian blood are really the ones who are obeying what
the Koran says:

“Therefore when ye meet the unbelievers [in fight] smite at their
necks; at length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a
bond firmly [on them]” (Sura 47:4).

       The Koran abounds with that type of inflammatory Sura and that is
why all true Moslems wish unbelievers dead (especially Christians and
Jews). Islam has divided the world into two distinct camps:

1. The Dar al-Salaam, i.e. the household of peace.
2. The Dar al-Harb, i.e. the household of war.

Everyone who is not a Muslim is in Dar al-Hard. They are regarded as
infidels, enemies of Allah, whose heads may be chopped off at will.
Barbaric? Yes indeed, but it’s a reality today. There are little Christian
Churches hidden throughout Saudi Arabia and beheading is exactly what
happens to their members if they are ever caught. So let’s take a closer
look at the “peace-loving” founder if Islam:

       Muhammad was born in 570 AD in Mecca (correctly pronounced
Markka), a city northwest of Arabia. His father, Abdullah (meaning
servant of Allah) died before he was born. His mother, Amia, died when
he was six. He was raised, first by his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, and
later by his uncle, Abdul Manaf, also known as Abu Talib. He was of the
Hashimite clan of Quraish tribe. As a young boy he traveled with his
uncle in merchant caravans to Syria, and for some years after he made
similar journeys in the service of a wealthy widow.
       At the age of forty-three, Muhammad went to the public square
around the Ka’aba stone to preach. He proclaimed that Allah was one,
unseen and all-powerful. He condemned the worship of other gods and
warned of a coming day of judgment. In thirteen years of peaceful
preaching, he won about a hundred followers. Persecution broke out and
some of his followers fled to Abyssinia (now Ethiopia, a Christian
country).
       The Negus of Abyssinia and his Christian subjects protected the
Moslems and lavished love on them. When the Meccan persecutors
demanded their repatriation, the Christians refused to hand them over.
The Moslems had earlier defended their faith in public debate,
confessing their belief in Christ’s virgin birth, His miracles, and His
ascension into heaven (the favorable passages about Jesus in the Koran
may be there for that reason).
       But, Muhammad’s accommodation with the Christians was shortlived.
After Islam became fully established, it revealed its true colors as
a rabid anti-Christian religion, and the blotting out of Christianity from
under the sun has been a major aim of Islam ever since. In their quest to
destroy Christianity, Moslems even went so far as to forge a false
“gospel,” allegedly written by Barnabas.1
       Following in the footsteps of their prophet, Muhammad’s
successors, the Khalifahs, launched a Jihad against Christendom in
Mesopotamia, Asia minor, central Asia, and in Egypt, killing millions

the Koran and from a 15th century comedy by Dante.

and forcing the rest to embrace Islam.1 Then they attacked and occupied
Jerusalem. As if all this wasn’t enough, on the very site where the
magnificent temple of the God of Heaven once stood, the Moslems
chose to construct the Dome of the Rock and their third most “holy”
mosque, the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Why was the Dome placed where it was,
if not to desecrate the temple site of the God of the Bible?
       The Moslems undid most of what the early apostles had achieved in
the Middle East by invading Christian populated North Africa,
murdering many and forcing the rest to Islam at the point of the sword.
Even today it is a crime to preach Christ in most Middle Eastern
countries. As stated earlier, in Arabia, if a Saudi national is found to be
a Christian, he is beheaded.
       The battle-hardened Islamic “missionaries” then swept over
Palestine, drove on to Persia, continued their drive into northwest India,
and settled finally on the southern steps of Russia. They overran Spain
and invaded France. Thank God for Charles Martel who halted their
advance into Europe. But for that battle, Islam could have overrun the
entire continent. But is their fight over? No, Islam is now using their
petrol dollars to achieve what they could not accomplish earlier through
the sword. Through its control of oil, Islam is now expanding at the
expense of Christendom.

IMPORTANT DATES IN ISLAMIC CONQUEST:

632 AD – Islamic Jihadists conquered Yemen.
632 AD – Invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) but the invading
Islamic army was repelled by the orthodox church backed by
the Portugese. This was a particularly disgraceful event,
because just seventeen years earlier, Abyssinia had helped the
persecuted Moslems.
633 AD – All the desert tribes of Arabia were thoroughly subdued
through military campaigns.
635 AD – The attacking Islamic army conquered Damascus.
637AD – The Persians (Iranians) were defeated at the battle of
Qadisiyya.
637 AD – The fall of Iraq
_____________________________

2 Before his death in 632, Muhammad ordered a military operation against Christian
Byzantine (the Eastern Roman Empire).

The Big Lie 138

638 AD – Islamic fighters occupied Jerusalem.
639 AD – All of Syria fell into Moslems hands.
642 AD – All of Egypt fell to Moslems after some resistance in
Alexandria. The great Coptic church was destroyed never to
get strong again.
670 AD – Khalif Muawiya ordered an unsuccessful sea assault
against Byzantium.
688 AD – The fall of Carthage.
702 AD – The Berber tribes of North Africa conquered.
705 - 708 AD – Occupation of North Africa.
711-713 AD – Arabian expansionists captured all of Spain and
Portugal. The place the Islamic Commander pitched his
headquarters still bears his name, Gibralter, in English, or
Jebel Tariq (Arabic), meaning mountain of Tariq.
715-717 AD – Arabian armies subdued Afghanistan, central Asia,
northern limit of the Caspian sea, much of northern India.
718AD – Islamic forces started attacking France.
725AD – The invading Islamic armies besieged Toulouse and
raided Burgundy and the Rhone valley.
732 AD – Bordeaux was besieged. The Islamic armies advanced up to
Poitiers where they were defeated by Charles Martel.1

       And thus, just one century after the death of Muhammad, the
domain of Islam stretched from the Pyrenees to the Himalayas, from the
Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, and from central Asia to central Africa.
       From 750 AD onwards, Islam went through a period of stagnation.
For a time, intellectual, commercial and artistic pursuit became more
prominent, and by the eleventh century, the Islamic empire was weak
enough for the Vatican to venture the crusades. However, this provoked
the Moslems to more conquests:

11th Century AD – Moslems penetrated Africa south of the Sahara.
12th - 14th Century AD – Moslems’ occupation of northern India.

1 CHRONICLE OF ST. DENIS: The Moslems planned to go to Tours to destroy the Church
of St. Martin, the city, and the whole country. Then came against them the glorious Prince
Charles, at the head of his whole force. He drew up his host, and he fought as fiercely as
the hungry wolf falls upon the stag. By the grace of Our Lord, he wrought a great
slaughter upon the enemies of Christian faith, so that-–as history bears witness-–he slew
in that battle 300,000 men, likewise their king by name Abderrahman. Then was he
[Charles] first called "Martel," for as a hammer of iron, of steel, and of every other metal,
even so he dashed: and smote in the battle all his enemies. And what was the greatest
marvel of all, he only lost in that battle 1500 men. From: William Stearns Davis, ed.,

13th Century AD – A band of Muslim states linked Dakar
(Senegal) to the Red Sea across the sub-Sahara prairies.
14th - 16th Century AD – Muslim fighters conquered Indonesia.
15th Century AD – Constantinople falls. That city (renamed
Istanbul) was the eastern bastion of the whole of the Christian
world. The great Christian church of Santa Sofia built by
Christian emperor Justinian, was then turned into a mosque.
1683AD – The Battle of Vienna. Decisive loss for the Moslems
and that defeat ended their attempts to take Europe.1
1804 AD – Islamic Jihadists conquer northern Nigeria.

ISLAM, A BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

       Since many western nations have a distorted or vague knowledge of
Islam, it is important to give a brief historical background of Islam, a
political entity that is also a religion. Islam literally means submission.
Consequently a true Muslim is one who submits in every way to the
Koran. Islam is not Muhammadanism nor are Moslems Muhammadans.
Such terms are a misnomer and quite offensive to Moslems. Islam
revolves around a central figure called Muhammad, but that does not
mean the religion is built around or on Muhammad. According to
Moslems he was only an instrument of Allah.
       Islam is not just a religious but a political entity, and since politics
is a game of compromise, Muhammad did make concessions to his
Arabian opponents. He recognized and worshiped their idols (Al-Lat,
Al-Uzza and Manat) (Sura 53:18-22). When these concessions
backfired, Muhammad blamed Satan for putting false “revelations” in
his mouth (Sura 22:52). These satanic verses (of Salmon Rushdie fame)
came in the same way as Muhammad’s earlier visions, but he never once
suspected that they all might have come from the same source.
       June 25th, 622 marked the turning point in Islam as Muhammad
migrated (Hijra) to Yatrib (now Medina) and was declared as head of
state and commander in chief of the first Islamic Umma (community of

1 One of the greatest battles ever fought against Muslim forces took place at the gates of
Vienna, September 12, 1683. Like the Battle of Tours before it, this battle also saved
Europe from falling to Islam. The city was besieged by a large Islamic force of about
275,000-300,000 Turks and Tartars, led by Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa. Christian forces
were losing the battle until Jan Sobieski, King of Poland, entered the field with about
30,000 knights. The Turks left 15,000 dead on the battlefield. Christian losses are
believed to have been about 3500 dead or wounded.

believers). Moslems start their dating from that year. Thus, according to
Islam, we are in the fifteenth century, not the twentieth. Moslems also
ignore the Sabbath. That Satan would attempt to change time and days
is stated in black and white in Daniel 7:25:

“He will speak against the most high and oppress his saints and try
to change the set time and laws ...” (NIV)

       Once Muhammad had consolidated his position in Medina, his god,
Allah, commanded him to wage a Jihad. Attacks and counter attacks
continued until a ten year peace pact was signed with the Meccans,
known as the treaty of Al-Hudaybiyah. This treaty was just a ploy, and
Muhammad invaded Mecca two years later at the head of ten thousand
fanatical Jihadists (cf. Daniel 11:23-24). Realizing that any resistance
would be suicidal, the Meccans surrendered unconditionally.
       Muhammad’s bitter enemies, Abu Sufyan, Suhail and the like, saved
their lives by immediately switching over to Islam. Those who would
not do so were summarily executed (Another sterling example of Allah’s
tender mercies). Since then, Islam has maintained a steady expansion
throughout the Third World, most of it by open military aggression.
       And Islam has not changed in modern times. Though we tend to
ignore them, their attacks continue. In 1992, the U.N. Security Council
imposed an air travel and arms embargo on Libya. This action was taken
because Libya refused to hand over the two men implicated in the
blowing up of the Pan-Am passenger plane over Lockerbie, Scotland —
a 1988 terrorist act in which 270 people were killed. Because the
perpetrators were Moslems and in the Dar al-Salaam, Libya hid them for
years, that is until international pressure made it impossible for them to
continue doing so.
       On Tuesday 5th and Friday 8th May 1992, Radio France
International reported the death of fifty people as Islamic
fundamentalists attacked Coptic Christians in Egypt. The attacks against
Coptic Christians continue to this day. Later that year, the Islamic
Salvation Front of Algeria asked its members to take up arms against its
own government, a conflict that is ongoing.
       In 1996, radical Taliban Moslems in Afghanistan captured Kabul
with the intent of setting up a fundamental Islamic state based on strict
 
The Big Lie 141

Koranic law. They did so and put in place one of the most degrading to
women and oppressive governments that has ever existed on the planet.
       Fundamental Moslems in the Sudan have slaughtered over
2,000,000 unarmed villagers, both Christian and animists. Christian
pastors are routinely crucified. Christian women have their breasts cut
off, making it impossible for them to feed their babies who subsequently
starve to death. The West has known about this genocide for years, but
little has been done to stop it.1

The following is an eyewitness decade-long synopsis of what is
happing in one predominately Christian country, Nigeria:

       We don’t need to go to the historical archives to find out what Jihad
is like. Moslems regularly slaughter Christians here, and at random. Here
are a few examples:
       In the North, with the full backing of local authorities, Churches are
pulled down at will. The excuse? The North is now an Islamic State. M.
Ali, the author of Islam Reviewed was in Kano in 1980, when an Islamic
riot broke out, killing 4,177 people (official figure) with millions of
dollars worth of properties destroyed. In October 1982, the Islamic
faithful were again on a zealous rampage, setting eight big churches
ablaze. In that same year, the Moslems in Kaduna went berserk, slaying
400 people (official figure).
       In 1984, Islamic fury erupted in Yola and Jimeta, killing 700 people,
including some policemen, and rendered 5,913 people homeless. In
March 1987, Moslems in Kaduna, Zaria, Kafanchan and Katsina
launched a half-week Jihad against Christians.

1 Until this very year, the United States tacitly supported the Christian people in southern
Sudan, but the present Bush administration has shifted the support of the US to the
Moslem north, probably to strengthen our coalition with the Islamic states. However, in
so doing, we put this country on the side of genocidal mass butchers as evil as any in Nazi
Germany. Reported on Marlon Maddox Radio Talk Show, Point of View, 2:30pm,
10/17/2001. The hypocrisy and gross immorality of such a policy is beyond
comprehension. There is a righteous God in heaven who will not long defend those
countries that support the murderers of His people.

The Big Lie 142

       In Zaria alone, all one hundred big churches were fire-bombed.
Several Christians were butchered and many others were roasted to
death. Many known Christian buildings were destroyed. In all those
cities, any motor vehicle that displayed a Christian sticker was attacked.
       In April 1991, Moslems in Bauchi went on an indiscriminate killing
spree, burning down churches and destroying a great deal of personal
property. About 350 people were killed.
       On October 14th 1991, the Moslems in Kano went on rampage
again, ostensibly to disrupt a crusade during which the German-born
evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke, was to preach. They planned to murder
Bonnke himself. It is difficult to arrive at the exact casualty figure there,
because many of the murdered Christians were dumped into wells.
However, it is estimated that over 2,000 Christians were cut down by
Islamic swords. In this case, however, the Moslems, too, suffered
casualties:

“Unlike previous religious riots in which non-indigenes (the nonviolent)
and Christians turned the other cheek or ran for their lives,
this time they hit back. Within hours of the fundamentalists
unleashing a reign of terror, the non-indigenes mobilized
themselves into a militia force, brandishing cutlasses, matchets,
iron rods and broken bottles in a counter attack.”1

       In May 1992, Zangon-Kataf, a town about 200 km south of Kaduna
was destroyed, the Muslim settlers clashing with the indigenous churchgoing
Kataf. The entire town was devastated and farmlands destroyed.
The destruction was so total that federal authorities declared it a disaster
area.
       Within a few days, the war spread to Kaduna. The Muslim plan was
to attack Christians during their Sunday worship services. They struck
at 8 PM, local time, slaughtering people from house to house, chanting
“Allahu Akbar” as they went. Many churches were set ablaze, and as
usual, other Christian buildings were targeted. Thousands perished.
On September 14, 1994, the Islamic faithfuls struck Potiskum, Yobe
State (North East Nigeria), killing three people including an ECWA
church Pastor, Yahaya Tsalibi, who was conducting communion service.

The Big Lie 143

Nine churches were set ablaze and millions of dollars worth of property
was destroyed (Police estimate).
       In Kano, on December 26, 1994, Mr. Gideon Akaluka (a Christian)
was beheaded by a mob of Muslim faithful, allegedly for defiling a
portion of the Koran. They paraded around the city with his severed
head on a pole, chanting a victory slogan.
       In Sokoto, northwest Nigeria, another Christian was mercilessly
beaten because a Moslem beggar who was asking for alms accused him
of insulting the prophet. Mr. Azubuike was more fortunate than most; he
was thought dead and abandoned.
       July 1-7, 1995, Moslems attacked Sayawa Christian community of
Tafawa Balewa, Bauchi State (northeast Nigeria). The Moslems then
proceeded to attack and burn down 30 Christian villages. Over 1,000
homes were razed. Christians were killed by the thousands. Seventyseven
churches were burned to the ground. Properties worth millions
were destroyed. Not even women and children were spared in this
genocidal Jihad – the Islamic faithful slaughtering 36 women and
children who had taken refuge at a church building in another village.
The women even had their bellies ripped open. In another village called
Bununu, in Bula district, twenty-two school children (ages 11 to 16
years) were trapped and butchered by Moslems.
       Wouldn’t you think the police or military would come to the rescue
of these defenseless people? Not a chance, and no Moslem ever stood
before a court of law to answer for the numerous acts of vandalism, not
to mention the countless murders they committed. Instead, the Christian
victims of that Jihad had to stand trial before a military tribunal for
causing the trouble. A gross miscarriage of justice? Certainly, but
eventually one becomes accustomed to the ever-present threat of
governmental injustice or Moslem violence. So accustomed to it, in fact,
that we just started calling it the “Nigerian Factor.”
       The religious fervor that caused above atrocities is not going to go
away. Authorities who think they can appease Moslems by supporting
them against Christians need a better understanding of Islamic law.
According to the Koran, true Moslems cannot be appeased until a pure,
 
The Big Lie 144

non-negotiable, Islamic government with a Sharia, i.e., fundamental
Islamic constitution is in force in the nation where they live.1
Even worse than the atrocities is the apathy of the church towards
Moslem evangelism, for the problem lies not with a people who are
worse than any other. It lies in the religious system they have been
taught and so earnestly believe. As long as Moslems believe the Koran
to be of God, they will continue to burn, rape, and murder their
opponents.
       We have ignored the irreconcilable spiritual differences that exist
between ourselves and Islam. The Moslem goal first, last and always,
has been to conquer the world for Islam by the power of the sword. It
won’t be long before the Jihad they live with in Israel, Indonesia, the
Philippines, North Africa and Europe reaches its bloody sword across
the Atlantic, and the West suffers for its diplomatic folly.2

Jos, Nigeria, 10/29/2001

Dear Brother Skolfield,
Moslems launched a devastating attack on our city after their
Friday Jummat prayer. We managed to escape by God's grace, but
we have been living like refugees for the past eleven days. No

even murder those who are not Moslems. After all, they are infidels and in the House of

Israel and the United States just because of some worthless paper they signed but have no

he would explode two nuclear devices in the United States in the year 2000 as his part in
the ever-expanding Islamic Jihad against the West. That he and all fundamental Islam are
at war with the West is patently obvious. Well, bin Laden missed his declared deadline,
but since this writing, his organization did hijack four planes in 2001, two of which
destroyed the World trade Center and one that damaged the Pentagon. US intelligence
agencies had already implicated bin Laden in two US embassy bombings, the battle in
Somalia and the attack on the USS Cole, but though this was common knowledge in our
State Department, the Clinton administration did little to stop him.

We sympathize with you, the brethren and the entire U.S. over
the Islamic Jihadists suicide attack on Washington and New York.
Your book is becoming clearer by the day yet the devil is
stigmatizing the church against hearing it.
Your brother in the Lord.
