Islam sprang from pre-Islamic tribal society, and
borrowed extensively from Judaism and Christianity. Its intentions were
enunciated by Muhammad when he declared that, as the “final revealed word
of God”, Islam eclipsed all other religions, and aspired to conquer the
world in the name of Allah. This basic intention remains to this day.
The world according to Islam is divided into two
parts: Dar-Al-Islam – the Abode of Islam, in which Islam is in full
religious-political control and Dar-Al-Harb – the Abode of War -
the rest of the world still unsubdued by Islam.
Islam – which means “submission” – is destined to
achieve its aim by jihad – holy war –which requires non-Muslims to
convert to Islam willingly through persuasion, or unwillingly through
fighting. Jewish and Christian communities conquered by Muslims are termed
dhimmis – “tolerated” in their homeland from which they are
dispossessed, and subjected to restrictions.
Muhammad’s sweeping victories 1,400 years ago
convinced the Muslims that Allah guaranteed their success, and that their
civilization was superior to any other. Defeat and domination by the
“infidel” West since the 19th century caused psychological
disorders which have today reached pathological proportions. No less
theologically obscene was the creation of the State of Israel – a
dhimmi State – at the heart of the Abode of Islam, and its subsequent
repulse of Arab aggression in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973. The creation of
myths intended to further the jihad against Western civilization
and its “outpost” Israel included, inter alia, the existence of a separate
Palestinian people and the responsibility of Israel for the refugee
problem, all of which have been exposed as fabrications by various Arab
leaders, by British and UN officials and by refugees themselves.
By changing its appearance to suit the surroundings,
Islam has penetrated worldwide. The threat to the West, which has been
monitored for some fifty years, has only become palpable with the
terrorist attacks on the soil of the United States.
