THE god OF ISLAM VS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE


​​The act of war declared against the United States of America on Sept. 11, 2001 by the Muslim/Islam terrorists/religion has brought forth many questions regarding the religion of Islam.

We have been shown to put forth the TRUTH about Islam in this month’s newsletter.  We will put as much as possible in this newsletter with subsequent newsletters providing further information.

(Many portions of this newsletter are quotes, therefore, we cannot make spelling or grammatical corrections. Not all quotes are clear.)

Who is Allah? Allah is the god worshiped of religion Islam. In the Arabic language the actual word allah means god. But even though the word itself means god, this noun is not the same “allah” worshiped by the Muslims.

The “Allah” of Muhammad was actually one of over 300 pagan gods whose statues stood in the Ka’aba, a pagan shrine in Mecca during the time of Muhammad. Muhammad was the self-proclaimed prophet who professed to having received many revelations from Allah and the angel Gabriel. These revelations were assembled in written form as the Qur’an.  Muhammad abolished the worship of the other pagan gods and elevated the moon-god “Allah” to be the one true god. (1) Consider the following:

"OH, ALLAH -- DESTROY AMERICA!! For she is ruled by Zionist Jews!! Allah shall take revenge on behalf of his prophet against the colonialist settlers who are sons of monkeys and pigs!! Forgive us, Muhammad, for the acts of these sons of monkeys and pigs, who sought to harm your sanctity!!" 
(From the Palestinian Muslim Cleric)

(2)

“Allah – “The God.” Muslims (followers of Muhammad and believers in Islam) believe that he is the Supreme Being the one and only god. Allah is the same God worshiped by Jews and Christians.”  (3)

It is quite obvious that these two statements are not in agreement. If Allah is the same god that the Jews and Christians worship then why would others who worship Allah ask him to destroy the Jews and the Americans (largely Christians and Jews)? Why would Allah want to destroy the Jews and Christians if they also worship him? One of the above statements must be wrong.

Jews and Christians worship – YHWH – the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. YHWH has told the world Who He is through His Word to Moses, David, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel and many more, as well as through His Son Yeshua. We find His revelation about Who He is in the Tanach (often referred to as the Old Testament) and the Brit Hadassah (often referred to as the New Testament) – the Bible.  (YHWH means I Am- Then Moses said to God,
"Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.' "  Exo. 3:13-14) (YHWH is the English transliteration of the Hebrew for “I AM“)

We can now see that the statement that Allah is the same god worshiped by the Christians and Jews is untrue. The Jews, the Christians and the Muslims do not worship the same God. The Jews and the Christians worship YHWH. The Muslims worship the moon god Allah whom Muhammad declared to be the one god. The name “Allah” is never mentioned in the Bible.

What, then, do we do with the first statement? These words were spoken by an Islamic religious official – a mufti. Why would he express such hatred for Americans and Jews? Does the Islamic faith teach this attitude? Does the Qur’an teach this attitude?

First we will look at the religion of Islam.

“The word ‘Islam’ means ‘submission.’ The ultimate aim of Islam is to make one umma of the people of the world, an Islamic people in submission to Allah.

Islam sees the world as being divided into two parts. That which is ‘in submission’ is called Dar-alSalaam (House of Peace). That which is not yet in submission is called Dar-al-Harb (House of War). To put it another way, those of us in the West who have not yet been brought into ‘submission’ are subject to Jihad. This term does not simply mean the subjection of unbelievers to some kind of violent confrontation; Jihad implies everything which furthers the cause of Allah.” (4)

Now let’s look at  the Qu’ran and what it says about Jews and Christians.

51. O people, who have brought Faith, do not take the Jews and the Christians as your companions (Auliyâ'), they are only friends to each other. And if anyone among you takes them as a friend (Auliyâ') then his/her count is also among them (he/she is one of them), surely Allâh deprives the cruel (Zâlimûn) from HIS Guidance….

55.Your friends, in fact, are only Allâh and the Rasool of Allâh and those believers who establish prayer (Salât), pay the poor-dues (Zakât) and bow down before Allâh.

56.And whoever takes Allâh and HIS Rasool (Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and the believers as his/her friends he/she should know that only the party of Allâh is going to be victorious. (R) 12

57.O people who have brought Faith, those among the people of Scripture who have made your Deen (Islam) a thing of mockery and pastime before you, do not take them and other infidels (Kafir) as your friends and companions (Auliyâ'). Fear Allâh if you are believers.

59.Tell them: "O people of the Scripture, the thing on which you have turn against us what else is it except that we have brought Faith in Allâh and the teaching of the Deen (Islam) which has been sent down towards us and was also sent down before us, and most among you are rebellious (Fâsiqûn)?"

60.Say again: "Should I point out those people whose end in the Sight of Allâh is even worse than the end of rebellious? Those whom Allâh has Cursed, who have incurred HIS Anger, from among those whom were turned into monkeys and swine (pigs), who worshiped Tâghût (Satan). Their condition is even worse and they are gone far away from the Right Path."

61.When they come to you they say we brought Faith, whereas they came with infidelity (Kufr) and left with infidelity (Kufr) and Allâh knows well whatever they have hidden in their hearts.

62.You see that majority of them are striving for sinful and evil deeds and consume prohibited wealth. These are very bad deeds, which they are doing.

63.Why do not their clergymen and the noble people forbid them from uttering sinful words and consuming prohibited things? Certainly it is an evil record of their life, which they are preparing.

64.The Jews say that the Hands of Allâh are tied up - their own hands are being tied up, and they have been cursed because of that nonsense which they utter -Hands of Allâh are Vast HE spends as HE Pleases. The fact is that the Recitation, which has been revealed to you (Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) from your Râbb, it has become the cause to increase the rebellious and disbelief of most of them, and (because of this) WE have imposed an enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection. Whenever they ignite the fire of war Allâh extinguishes it. They are striving to spread mischief on earth but Allâh does not like the mischiefmakers (Mufsidûn) at all. (Surah-Al-Ma’idah-5) (5)

After reading this short excerpt from the Qu’ran we can clearly see why the mufti prayed as he did. Those who worship Allah believe that only Allah is the one true god and that those who do not worship Allah are infidels. Jews and the majority of Americans do not worship Allah, and are, therefore, infidels. 

Now that you have read this background information about Islam and Allah, let us now proceed to September 11, 2001 – the day on which 4 American planes were hijacked, 2 of which were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, 1 of which was flown into the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and 1 of which crashed into the ground in Pennsylvania. The CIA, FBI and other intelligence agencies have told us through the media the following information: 1. Each of these planes was hijacked by men of Middle Eastern descent. 2. Evidence has been found that links these men to Osama bin Laden, his al-Qaida organization, and their allies. 3. bin Laden is in Afghanistan, where he is being harbored by the Taliban, an Islamic militia. The American people have responded to this horrendous terrorist attack with an outpouring of assistance, faith, patriotism and support for their government. Our government says it has begun to assemble an alliance of countries. We are told that America needs the cooperation of such an alliance so that it can fight international terrorism, apprehend bin Laden, and launch a military pursuit (i.e., countries in which to set up military installations and over which to fly). One obstacle to assembling this alliance to launch a military pursuit is that the countries surrounding Afghanistan are predominantly Muslim and many of the Muslim people in these countries are sympathetic with the Taliban regime. These countries include Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and India. Many countries have condemned the attack on America and some have said that they will support the United States’ war against terrorism. However, there is another obstacle that may deter the assembling of this alliance – the more than 50 countries in which Islam is the majority religion. In addition, many of these same 50 countries harbor terrorists and some cooperate and support Osama bin Laden. An additional obstacle to assembling this alliance is America’s support of Israel. The Arab world sees Israel as an occupier of Arab land and wants the Jews to give them back that land. The United States government has been involved for years in negotiating peace in the

Middle East between the Jews and the Arabs. The Arabs believe that the United States favors Israel over the Palestinians, Syrians and all the other Arab countries that continue to attempt to drive the Jews from their land.

The media is full of reports telling us that the people of the Muslim faith are peaceful, tolerant people and that their religion condemns suicide and harm to innocent people. What the media doesn’t say is that the Qu’ran does not promote peace with non- Muslims and that the Muslims indoctrinate the minds of their children with hatred toward non-Muslims. Our government tells us it does not want the American people to judge all Muslims by the actions of the Islamic terrorists because all Muslims are not like these terrorists. It is implied that the terrorists do not represent Islam.  BUT, the FACT is that the muftis (muslim religious clerics) “preach“ terrorism and holy war-  “jihad “!  The religious tie that binds all Muslims together is stronger than their differences.  When the time comes, Muslims will unite under the banner of Allah against all infidels. Our government is seeking to form an alliance with the enemies of Almighty God!

The following articles reveal a mindset that President Bush, all Americans, indeed, all non-Muslims should be aware of:

AKORA KHATTAK, Pakistan (AP) — At one of Pakistan's biggest Islamic schools students begin their studies with prayers for a Taliban victory if the United States goes to war with Afghanistan. ` ` Oh Allah, defeat the enemies of Muslims and make Islam and the Taliban victorious over the Americans,'' an all-boy class of 12-year-olds prays before beginning a lesson on the Qu’ran, Islam's holy book.

Fired by a conviction that Islam must be defended, older students at the Haqqania school — and thousands like it across Pakistan— are ready recruits for the Taliban in a `` jihad,'' or holy war, against the United States.

`  The only thing we talk about these days is whether America will attack,'' said Syed Samiullah, 24, a student at the school, located in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province that borders Afghanistan. ` ` I am ready for jihad and so is every student you talk to at the school,'' he said.  ...

` ` The United States should think a thousand times before attacking Afghanistan,'' said Maulana Sami ulHaq, rector of Haqqania. ` ` Religious fervor is something that can't be assessed beforehand. If America attacks, then jihad becomes an obligation, and then there is no saying what will happen.''  (6) A War Call from Al-Muhajiroun To Muslim General & Brigadiers to Form: Muslim War Cabinet (MWC)

  “In light of previous atrocities, torture, genocide and mass murder which have occurred in Bosnia, Kosovo,

Kashmir, south Lebanon, Palestine, Uzbekistan, Dagestan and more recently in Chechnya it is time for Muslim Generals, Brigadiers, Colonels, Majors, Officers and soldiers to play their role as the Army of the Messenger Muhammad (swt) and to stand up and defend the Muslims belief, honour, property and land.

….

“O Muslim Armies, it is about time for you to form a Muslim War Cabinet (MWC) to deal with emergency crisis which face the Ummah such as the Russian terrorism in Chechnya. You must hold firm to the book of Allah and depend on none but him and unite against the enemy of Islam and Muslims for the sake of none but him and do not aim your weapons at your Muslim brothers and do not target civilians rather aim your weapons at the occupying forces.

  “… Our main mission as Muslims is to carry the Islamic message to the entire world, we are an Ummah which lives so that we can carry the message unlike other Nations who survive without any mission. Indeed we are an Ummah of Jihad and beyond doubt we have been chosen by God to lead the whole world if we hold to this command i.e. His revelation. And Allah (swt) says that ‘you are the best nation ever raised for mankind.’

  “Muslims must not be attached to life nor run from death….. We must return back to our roots, support the Mujahideen wherever they are and support the Islamic movements verbally, financially and militarily before the enemy enslave us and humiliate us more.

  “The Muslim War Cabinet is a vey [very] dangerous idea because it is about collecting the strength of the Muslims, which will naturally be opposed by any enemy forces such as the US and Russians. However, if the 55 Muslim countries each provide one Muslim General it will be the biggest war cabinet in the history of mankind. It will be a platform for them to discuss war strategies, defence policies, arms manufacturing and how to build a unified Muslim army, called the army of Muhammad, to take the task of being the supporters of the Muslim Ummah [Al-Ansar] the way they were at the time of the The Messenger Muhammad (saw). They will take the initiative to re-establish the Islamic power i.e. Al-Khilafah, in order to unify Muslim land and to conquer the whole world (Insah’Allah). If the MWC fulfills its duties properly they will be praised by every Muslim who will all supplicate for them and they will be rewarded on the Day of Judgement by a ‘medallion’ of Paradise and in this life by pride and dignity. Remember that the dignity of a Nation cannot be measured with land or wealth because the dignity of a Nation is not goods to trade with. Therefore we must stand together and engage in Jihad or support the Mujahideen for death is better then humiliation in front of the disbelievers. The opportunity is here and we must not pass it by. The battle is tense and many Muslim brothers are firm in their Jihad so we must not lose time aimlessly…ACT NOW.

   “O’ Muslim Generals, this Muslim Ummah is your Ummah, its war is your war, its enemy is your enemy, the Mujahideen are your brothers, the victory or defeat is your victory or defeat and the Khilafah is your Khilafah.

  “O’ Muslim Generals, O’ Muslim armies, the Book of your Lord calls you, The Ummah cries for your help and Paradise awaits you. Stand up for the truth and be firm in your resolve, for the new dawn is near at hand.” (7)

My Encounter With A Black Muslim In The U. S. On  September 12, 2001 This morning, I had contact with a black muslim here in Atlanta, GA. I asked him what he thought about what happened in New York yesterday. He began to explain. He stated that "these people (muslims) are guardians over holy places". He said one holy place is "Mecca" and the other is "Israel". “Because they are guardians of these holy places, they have a preeminence over everyone else.” He explained that "the United States has no holy places"; they (muslims) see the U. S. as "corrupt, promiscuous and having no morals regarding marriage, business or anything else. The individuals are corrupt and therefore so is the entire nation, and if the nation is corrupt then so are the individuals". Since the muslims have guardianship over holy places, they are pre-eminent over all else. For example, he said, "It’s like if I knew President Bush and you didn’t, that would give me pre-eminence over you." He kept repeating that "they are guardians over holy places" and "they have pre-eminence". Not once did he say that what they did was wrong. He did not say he disagreed with what they did. He just said that was "the best way I can explain it".  It is important for Americans, as well as the rest of the world, to understand that Bin-Laden means islam (muslim) and that islam (muslim) includes Bin-Laden. The two cannot be separated since they are synonymous! The joy of the islamic world is a given! You have to know the beast to understand its behavior! This type of terror is not going to stop. Once the world compromised itself and began "negotiating" with terrorists, it lost all hope of stopping these kinds of acts. The one thing the compromising world has taught the terrorists is that TERROR WORKS! We are reaping the devastation of compromise! (8)

All non-Muslims would do well to learn from the experiences of Israel. Terrorism is nothing new for Israel. It has been fighting with its Arab enemies since it declared statehood in 1948. We read daily about the attacks by the Palestinians on Israeli citizens. It would seem a logical conclusion, then, that after the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, that the United States would turn to Israel as the first country to be included in their international coalition to fight terrorism – but it has not! If fact, Israel’s help has been refused. In addition, it appears that President Bush thinks that the Palestinian terrorism against the Jews should not be included in his war against international terrorism. He and the US State Department continue to insist that Israel should negotiate with the Palestinian terrorists. Even worse than that, the State Department has not included the Palestinians and Yasser Arafat on their list of international terrorists! This will prove to be a serious mistake on the part of the United States, for themselves as well as Israel. The following article explains.

Why America Has Already Lost the War                  Moshe Feiglin, 28 September 2001:

That Thursday I already realized that America had lost the war.

I came to the US for four days for a meeting that was to have been held in Manhattan on Tuesday evening, September 11. The meeting didn´ t take place – no one could get in or out of the great city. I´ m not sure if all those invited to the meeting are still alive. There were no flights back home, and all that remained to do was to listen to the reports and hope for a place on the first flight returning to Israel.

I never stay abroad on Shabbat. The trip is more costly and less efficient, but that´ s the way it is; my own rule. I had now missed out on Shabbat in Eretz Israel and I could only pray that I would be home in time for Rosh Hashana.

It was impossible to get away from the reports of the massacre in downtown Manhattan. The news was everywhere: on the air, at home, in the car, in the shops. I entered the neighborhood grocery store. The storekeeper´ s radio was on. President Bush was speaking to the American people:

"I declare tomorrow to be a day of prayer", said the President.

Now that´ s interesting, I think to myself, I can´ t recall an Israeli Prime Minister who declared a day of prayer. Even when the Yom Kippur War broke out, Golda Meir was shocked, but I don’t remember her asking anyone to pray. After all, I thought, America´s national anthem is directed to G-d and Americans sing "G-d bless America". Even the British maintain close contact with the Almighty: "G-d save the Queen". But the Israelis have lost their connection to G-d in their anthem and all that remains is a dismal hope for a meaningless sort of freedom. To whom precisely should they pray?

"I ask every American," the President continued, breaking into my train of thoughts, "during lunch time tomorrow [not on the employer´s time, like a good Histadrut worker] to pray for all the injured, their families, and the American nation."

“Go to church, to the synagogue, to the mosque and pray,” ended the President.

 "Did I hear right?" I ask the storekeeper, "Did he say mosque?" She nodded.

 “At this very moment you´ve lost the war," I said to the astonished storekeeper and start  looking for what I need on the shelves.

America has lost the war. The Americans have made the same mistake as the Israelis and, just as Israel is retreating from one defeat to the next, so the Americans are now lined up on the track to disintegration. When the black boxes of the hijacked airplanes are recovered, we will hear the pilots screaming "Allah Akbar" in the last moments before the crash. They slaughtered you in the name of Allah and now the President calls on you to pray to him.

The American giant received a far more serious knockout blow than that which brought America into the Second World War. Those who gave the Americans the knock-out blow at Pearl Harbor received in two atomic bombs in return. The latest knock-out blow has no return address. During the first hours, it seemed that the American revenge would be horrifying and terrible. US Jews thought that now Sharon could "finish off" the Arabs, blow up the al-Aksa mosque, expel them all and do as he wished. In light of the pictures of horror from the World Trade Center, and the television coverage of the spontaneous celebrations from Ramallah, Sharon would only receive words of thanks from the Americans. The Americans´ revenge would be dwarfed by Israel´ s reprisal. The hours passed, and the days, and the American tiger turned out to be a helpless kitten.

The American President was busy running after the countries of the world, trying to set up a strange coalition against a few cave dwellers in Afghanistan, while senators explained on live television to the American people that “we must remember that the enemy is the terrorists, not Islam.”

America has been trapped by the same weakness that has visited Israel in recent years. It is entrapped in a notion of power and is therefore incapable of identifying the enemy and fighting it. Consequently, America will lose the battle, in the same way that Israel is losing it……

"Why are they bringing their wars here?" a sootcovered broker shouted into a CNN reporter´s microphone. He didn´t understand that he was conquering, not territories, but the opposing culture, straight from there - from the Twin Towers.

But every Moslem child understands it clearly. What the political commentators and senators in the US fail to realize is crystal clear to the other half of the world. America is not at war with a single individual Bin Laden - but with every child that will be born tomorrow in Cairo, Amman, Beirut, Gaza and, if he is a Moslem, even in New Jersey.

America will never admit that it is involved in a war of cultures, in fact in a religious war.

Such an admission implies that, as in the case of Israel, American values are fundamentally at question. They are not as universal as Americans would like to believe. The happiness they pursue in the name of all humanity may be happiness for a specific group based on Christianity, but it means hell for another group that is just as large.

It is entirely possible that the balance has changed and the other half of the world is now beginning to realize its aspirations for happiness (and woe to such a culture immersed in rivers of blood). America will never admit it, and consequently will be unable to fight back. Just like the Israelis.
They fail to identify the enemy. They seek the terrorists just as Sharon is pursuing individual terrorists. They are pursuing the wasps instead of destroying the nest, because they are afraid of the nest. They are afraid of a real confrontation between their values and those of Islam.

They want a coalition with moderate Arab countries. They have to prove that neither Islam nor the Arabs, but terrorism, is their enemy. The situation is so ludicrous that even Arafat is being wooed - Arafat, who invented hijacking; Arafat, the father of 20th century terrorism. They want to make a coalition with him, if only to avoid facing reality.

They will in fact catch the wasps. Bin Laden doesn´t stand a chance. He won´t be able to escape the power of the US. And then what? Today every Arab child wants to be a Shahid, a martyr for Islam. Bin Laden will enter the pantheon of the Shahids, but another million are waiting their turn and they are impatient. America is waging a physical war against a metaphysical enemy. They are incapable of understanding what we in Israel witness every day - overjoyed parents of suicide bombers.

In the coming months, we will see a lot of military planes take off and land. We will see destroyers and missiles and millions of tons of TNT exploding in the Iraqi desert and in Afghanistani caves. They will kill thousands of innocent people and in the end America will lose -- because it failed to identify the true enemy…(9)

Here are the words of the enemy of the United States:

“Prominent leader of the Muslim Brotherhood Movement, Sheikh Yussef Al-Qaradhawi: 'Islamic religious law dictates that we join the Taliban's Jihad, not the US coalition; It is forbidden to attack American citizens, but permitted to attack the American military'

Sheikh Yussuf Al-Qaradhawi, a leading Sunni Muslim religious authority and the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood was among the Muslim clerics who established that martyrdom operations are permitted by Islamic law.

After issuing a communiquéé condemning the terror attacks on the US, he appeared on a religious program broadcast on Qatar's Al-Jazeera channel that focused on the attacks. Following are excerpts from the discussion:(1) Sheikh Qaradhawi:..."The West has made Islam his enemy for many reasons. One is [the Middle East's natural] resources.

[Since] the days of the Crusades, there are some mental complexes from which the West has not freed itself. [The West] attacked the Muslim countries, but Islam triumphed, with 'Immad Al-Din Zanji, Saladin, Baibars and others... Colonialism's aspirations are greedy and full of hate; this hatred still motivates it..."

“Perhaps they will attack Afghanistan. Perhaps they will attack Yemen, the Sudan, Lebanon... It is inconceivable that we, the Muslims, should enter into an alliance against an Islamic state that has not been proven to have done anything. Who says that Afghanistan, as a state, took part in [the attacks]?

What is 'harboring terrorists' supposed to mean?

Should Egypt be attacked just because Sheikh 'Omar Abd Al-Rahman is from Egypt? If a group of Algerians do something, should Algeria be attacked? [Such attacks] cannot be carried out only to appease popular sentiment..."

"The Taliban have nothing to do with this matter; they are preoccupied with their own internal problems... I also think that Osama bin Laden no longer has the means to carry out something like this." In answer to the question, What do you advise the Arab leaders to do now?: "It's not a matter of advice; there are religious rules that must be observed. A Muslim is forbidden from entering into an alliance with a non-Muslim against another Muslim... Allying with others to kill [Muslims] is collaborating in sin and aggression... It is also forbidden to hand over Muslims to others. Something like this is inconceivable. Islamic (Shari'ah) law says that if a Muslim country is attacked, the other Muslim countries must help it, with their souls and their money, until it is liberated. Islam treats Muslims everywhere as one nation, and it does not recognize geographical borders or [differences of] race, color, or language. It sees Muslims as one nation in Dar Al-Islam, united in Islamic belief and Muslim brotherhood. Co-religionists must not rise up against each other for other peoples' causes, particularly when it is not proven that the crime was carried out by one of those [Islamic] countries. "How can Pakistan aid and abet invading its neighbor and co-religionist?... How can Pakistan's clerics remain silent? In my opinion, no Muslim cleric, Arab or otherwise, can in any instance allow a Muslim to support an invasion of his brother's house in another's cause."

..."There is no doubt that the one who benefits from this crime is the Zionist entity, which has exploited it in the media, militarily, and politically..."

"We must differentiate between two types of terror: the terror of those defending their homeland and their rights... This kind of terror is legitimate. The Palestinian factions defending their land, such as Fatah, Hamas, or Islamic Jihad, are not terrorists. [It is] a Jihad for the sake of Allah..."

"It is absolutely forbidden for Arab and Islamic countries to allow their bases to be used to attack Afghanistan..."

A viewer sent a fax to the program, which read as follows:

"I personally place the responsibility on the Islamic clerics and sheikhs, who continuously attacked the Christians with invalid claims, in the mosques and on the Arab satellite channels, including the Fatwa recently issued by the Sheikh Qaradhawi himself stating that suicide operations are not terror and that anyone perpetrating them is a shahid [martyr]. This has incited many youths to carry out such suicide attacks..."

Sheikh Qaradhawi responded: "I do not know where he gets these claims, and involves my name as well. I call for tolerance between religions, and dialogue even with the secularists... Regarding my Fatwa on the martyrs - whom he calls suicide attackers - I do not think that [the viewer] is a Muslim, because I do not think that a Muslim would let an Islamic homeland like Palestine, and Jerusalem, remain in the hands of the Zionists, who plunder it and damage its holy sites, without the owners of the land having the right to defend themselves. All I said is that this oppressed people that was expelled from its home has the right to defend itself, and that every man has the right to become a human bomb and blow himself up inside this military society."

"Israeli society is a military society: Anyone who is not currently a soldier is a soldier in the reserves. I issued this religious ruling, and all the Islamic clerics have ruled like me, except for a few (referring to the Mufti of Saudi Arabia). Hundreds of Muslim clerics have ruled that these martyrdom operations are one of the most sublime types of Jihad for the sake of Allah. ...

"[If the clerics in Afghanistan call Muslims to Jihad], Muslims must help as best they can, as they did during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan... Must the situation be different from what it was during the Russian occupation only because it involves the Americans? No... the situation will not be different. We must support the oppressed against the oppressors."

PALESTINIAN MUFTI FORBIDS MOSLEMS TO JOIN ANTI-TERROR COALITION

MEMRI - The Middle East Media Research Institute reports that the PA Mufti in Jerusalem has called upon Muslims not to join the American anti-terrorism coalition. This past Friday, Sept. 28, 2001, the PA's Mufti, Sheikh Ikrimah Sabri, encouraged the worshiper in the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount to oppose the coalition. Following are excerpts from the sermon: "...our Prophet says in a long tradition (Hadiph): 'It is forbidden for a Muslim to go against another Muslim, against his life, his properties, and his honor (wife).' It is forbidden from the religious legal aspect that a Muslim would kill another Muslim; this killing is regarded as a severe sin. There are tens of verses, and hundreds of traditions that forbid it. It is far more sinful for a Muslim to ask for the help of a non-Muslim to kill another Muslim. This is a grave heresy... "Oh Muslims, brothers in faith everywhere, from the pulpit of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque we call upon America, the superpowers and the states that aligned in a military pact, we tell all of them: 'No to war, because it brings hardships on all mankind.' [We say] no to the killing of innocents, no to the killing of elderly women and children, no to [being under your] guardianship. 'No to [your] intervention in other peoples' issues..." (9)

That there is radical Islam and non-radical Islam is merely another lie of Islam so that the larger crime can be perpetrated upon mankind.

It is imperative that we understand that we ARE in a “HOLY” war. The forces of the devil are battling the people of the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! Tolerance of any other god is NOT SCRIPTURAL! Jesus said to them,
“If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.  "Why  do you not understand what I am saying? {It is} because you cannot hear My word.  "You are of {your} father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own {nature,} for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:42-44 NASB

Yes, we are in a war...a holy war...  It’s a battle between the children of God and the sons of the devil!  Islam is truly a son of satan! Just reread the above scripture...! To compromise with tolerance for another god, is to turn our backs on the ONE AND ONLY TRUE LIVING GOD!

We could continue with many more quotes and articles that substantiate the fact that the temporal war on this earth is between Islam and non-Islam. However, we must realize that the war we must be focused on is the spiritual battle between the true G-d of the Universe, YWYH, and His enemies. We must also remember that the people Israel are the Chosen People of YWYH, and that His enemies are Israel’s enemies. As we stand for our G-d YWYH against His enemies, let us stand for His People Israel against these same enemies.  This is His heart:

From The Bridegroom

  “Come warriors–Sing and dance and praise My Holy Name for the time for My People has come. You have seen a great amount of death in the last two weeks, and you know deep in your hearts and your souls you will see more. The protection I have over you and over all of My people is great and mighty. It is greater than any bomb, any rocket, any bullet...anything that satan can raise up. You know that I have taught you that the only place that you are safe is in My Son and you have told other people that and you will tell others and you will write this and you will stand firm in your love, in your joy and in your great Hope in Me, in My Son Yeshua your Lord, and in the guiding and Divine Spirit that lives in you. It is good that you pray over My People on the Eve of Yom Kippur for they....many...have not yet accepted the Atonement that My Son has given them. But they will, for I am calling them. I am calling them in their dreams; I am calling them in words that they will hear, words they will read, signs they will see, revelations that I will breathe and burst into their hearts. Many as you know that call themselves My people are not My People and you know that I weep and hurt for them. For I will bring them into My House if they will but yet turn their backs on the direction that they are going and come to Me. But in My Wisdom and Truth you know that there are many who will not turn, who will not come, and for them We hurt and We weep. But this is the hour of Life, not the hour of death. No matter what it looks like in this realm please remember that this is the hour of Life. Come in these next days and rejoice and fellowship with Me and love Me, sing and praise Me, read My Word, reach out for Me as I reach out for you. Come ever deeper as We have called you for so long. You will not stop coming, you will keep coming no matter what happens in this world, for you know and you believe in your hearts that your very life is in Me. I will continue to guide and lead and protect you and all of My children. As you come deeper into Me you will learn more and more, as you know, because this is the way that I have set it up–you’ve done it for years. You will know what to say, you will know what to write, you will know where to go for you will not ask amiss. For your greatest desire is to do My Will.  Even in the mistakes and the failings you do desire to do My Will. But you must remember to ask. Continue to seek My direction in places to go, places to avoid, people to know, people to avoid, situations to know, situations to avoid. For you well know now with all your being that you live in perilous times. But as My Holy Word says: "Be not dismayed for I am your God" and I will lead you to pastures sweet and waters still inside your hearts inside My Heart. Continue to cry out to Me over My People. Continue to pray over all of those that are dying in the church, that are being starved in the church because they are not hearing My Word. Pray over them and call them out and I will bring them forth. Worship Me and love Me, continue to honor Me, need Me and desire Me for I am your all in all." September, 26, 2001
