UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS MEANT BY THE TERM
"RELIGION OF PEACE"

By David Ben Yakov

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001 we here in the states have heard a term that has never made much sense to us. That term is to describe Islam as a "Religion of Peace." That was and still is a hard pill to swallow when we see adherents to that religion killing and maiming people in an almost daily if not hourly period. So what in the world could our politicians, and some of the politicians in Europe mean when they are trying to inculcate us to believe that Islam is a religion of peace?

Well, first and foremost I do believe that part of the reason why they are saying it is because they want to quell the constituents of our lands from lashing out at Muslims that have immigrated to our lands. This is a noble gesture, but it not the only reason.

Secondly, we have to come to the hard fact that many of the nations that adhere to the Islamic religion are also the oil producing nations. We cannot ignore either that our former president, George Bush and probably most of his cabal have deep roots in the oil industry and would probably lose their vast fortunes of we offended the Religion of Peace.

Third, and more insidious is another fact that perhaps most people do not think of. What if, perhaps, the beast and the government system spoken of in Revelation and Daniel is really Islam, or some form of Islam? What if the politicians know that they have sold us into slavery to the Islamic system and they're just trying to keep us peaceful until situations have progressed far enough down the road so that a regression back to freedom and liberty could never be achieved?

We know from Biblical Scripture that the favorite form of capital punishment during the time of the Tribulation will be "beheading." We've seen over the past few years that Muslims use this form of capital punishment to kill infidels. The Muslim form of decapitation isn't clean and quick like the French form via the guillotine. No, in fact, the Muslims grip the head of their victims and saw across the throat with knives, slowly as to inflict the most pain and misery to their victims. Their victims gurgle on their own blood and convulse until finally life leaves them.

Murderous Muslim holds head of Daniel Pearl

We know from Biblical Scripture that the man of perdition will "change times and seasons." When Islam takes over a it abolishes the laws of that land and it institutes Sharia Law. In effect, Sharia is a religious law that establishes a Theocracy in so that only Muslim holidays, Muslim calendars, and Muslim seasons are held to be important. Christians and Jews are tolerated to some degree, unless their practices become offensive to a Muslim. Under Sharia Law, anyone that doesn't practice Islam is placed in a second class citizen classification and considered equal to or perhaps lower than a family dog or cat in the estimation of Islamic society. You can exist, but don't bark and don't disrupt the Islamic society.

In this sort of system it is very hard for Christians and Jews and anyone of a faith that is other than Islam. Imagine living in a setting where you are the only family that is not Muslim. You are a practicing Jew or Christian and you decide to have a worship service in your home. During your time of worship you might become a little loud and your Muslim neighbor grows tired of this. Or, perhaps you have a time or prayer and you mention the name of Yeshua a little too lour and they can hear you through the walls of your apartment. Yes, you are in an apartment because houses are a luxury that is only reserved for the faithful to allah. So, your Muslim neighbor decides that he's had enough of you and your infidel ways. He calls the local mullah and complains about you. They decide that your worship or prayer isn't really a time of worship or prayer, but that you are covertly trying to convert your Muslim neighbor. A trial is held and you are found guilty and sentenced to death.

Yeshua Said that you'll know them by their fruits

One thing that has been totally perverted in our society is the meaning of the word God. Formally in American society when God was mentioned it was inferred that a person was talking about the God of Abraham, Yitzak and Ya'acov. Today in a multicultural society almost all religions refer to their deity as god. Basically, god is a generic term. It is also true, and one can find out this truth by a simple study, that although Muslims claim that allah is the God of the Bible, this is not true. Allah existed before Islam as one of the many Arabian Semitic gods that were worshipped on the Arabian peninsula. Thus, when Mohammed received his instuction from allah, he wasn't receiving divine inspiration from Yahweh, the God of the Bible; he was receiving information from a demonic entity that was a counterfeit posing as Yahweh. I think that Yahweh had enough self respect that he would have revealed Himself as Yahweh, or even Elohim (we can assume that Yahweh knows his name, right?) and that He would not have kept the name of one of His adversaries, especially given the way that Yahweh abhors idols. This would be akin to a prize fighter taking the crown from the current heavyweight champion and using the name of the former rather than his own name.

With this in mind; knowing that allah is really the adversary of the one and true God (Yahweh) we can know that by Islam's plan for world conquest; that conquest would be Satan's fulfillment of the scripture:

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4

It is important to look at what Islam considers to be the attributes of allah. Aga Khan III gives us an idea of Muslim thought where allah is concerned:

"Consider for example the opening declaration of every Islamic prayer: "Allah-o-Akbar". What does that mean? There can be no doubt that the second word of the declaration likens the character of Allah to a matrix which contains all and gives existence to the infinite, to space, to time, to the Universe, to all active and passive forces imaginable, to life and to the soul." Aga Khan III, Memoirs of Aga Khan, 175

It is quite interesting that Aga Khan III used the word Matrix to describe the character of allah. At first glance it would seem that the description here likens allah to Yahweh who is the creator of all things. A careful look gives us other clues. The word "matrix" is interesting and is defined as such:

Main Entry: ma·trix

Pronunciation: \mā-triks\

Function: noun

Inflected Form(s): plural ma·tri·ces \mā-trə-sēz, ma-\ or ma·trix·es \ˈmā-trik-səz\

Etymology: Latin, female animal used for breeding, parent plant, from matr-, mater

Date: 1555

1 : something within or from which something else originates, develops, or takes form
2 a : a mold from which a relief surface (as a piece of type) is made b : die 3a(1) c : an engraved or inscribed die or stamp d : an electroformed impression of a phonograph record used for mass-producing duplicates of the original
3 a : the natural material (as soil or rock) in which something (as a fossil or crystal) is embedded b : material in which something is enclosed or embedded (as for protection or study)
4 a : the extracellular substance in which tissue cells (as of connective tissue) are embedded b : the thickened epithelium at the base of a fingernail or toenail from which new nail substance develops
5 a : a rectangular array of mathematical elements (as the coefficients of simultaneous linear equations) that can be combined to form sums and products with similar arrays having an appropriate number of rows and columns b : something resembling a mathematical matrix especially in rectangular arrangement of elements into rows and columns c : an array of circuit elements (as diodes and transistors) for performing a specific function

One can plainly see that the only definition of "matrix" that applies to the definition of allah is the very first one; "something within of from which something else originates, develops or takes form." However, an even better definition comes from the Latin etymology of the word; "a female animal used for breeding or a parent plant." In other words, we're looking at something already created that is giving birth or life to something else.

Aka Kahn III tries to give the impression that allah is the Eternal God (Yahweh) that created all things by trying to make it seem like allah is outside of time and space, but that is not true because all of the things that he described about the matrix are things that exist within time and space, even time and space itself. Space/time consists of the first four dimensions of what most scientists believe to be a creation that consists of ten or more dimensions. So, the best that Kahn can get out of his definition is that allah is someone that exists within one of the ten or more dimensions and that he created space/time; or the universe that we can experience with our five senses.

One other thing that Kahn failed to mention is the spirit of mankind. He said that allah is able to create body (life) and soul; but we consist of three parts, not two. We know our bodies to be the flesh and our soul to be our intellect; but our souls is the part of us that is eternal; created by the God that inhabits Heaven; the realm that is outside of time and space and all of the dimensions that make up all of creation. The being allah, cannot make the claim to be the creator of spirits because he is a spirit himself; and the leader of all rebellious spirits known as fallen angels. Therefore, allah cannot be El Elyon (God Almighty) because he's part of the creation, not the creator.

At the beginning we asked what the meaning of the phrase, "religion of peace," banner that our leaders have placed upon Islam and its adherents. We find a couple of interesting passages in the pages of the Tanakh (Bible) that could possibly give us some clue to what this means.

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. Daniel 8:23-25

And:

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. Revelation 6:2

Now let's just suppose for a short while that Islam is the "Beast" system that is mentioned in Revelation and also in the Book of Daniel. Notice that in the Daniel scripture the Word of God says that "by peace shall destroy many." In the Revelation scripture we see something interesting; "and he that sat on him had a bow." Notice that it doesn't say anything about arrows. This indicates to me that he doesn't have to use military means to fight a war. Could it be that he will conquer because those in the governments of the world lull the people into a fog by constantly telling them that Islam is a "Religion of Peace?"

On a recent Tuesday afternoon, CBN News made that journey heading south out of Iran's capital, Tehran. Some 95 miles, and a couple of wrong turns later, we arrived at the Jamkaran mosque on the outskirts of Qom.

Behind the Jamkaran mosque there is a well. According to many Shiite Muslims, out of this well will emerge one day their version of an Islamic 'savior.'

They call him the Mahdi or the 12th Imam.

Ron Cantrell has written a book about the Mahdi. He explained, "The Mahdi is a personage that is expected to come on the scene, by Islam, as a messiah figure. He is slotted to come in the end of time, according to their writings, very much like how we think of the return of Jesus."

Shiite Muslims believe the Mahdi, a descendent of the Prophet Mohammed, vanished in the middle of the 9th century.

Cantrell told us, "The 12th Imam disappeared, around the age of 9, with a promise that he would return and he would bring Islam to its total fruition as the world's last standing religion." [CBN News: "Waiting For Islam's Messiah," July 17, 2008 - www.cbn.com/CBNnews/411301.aspx]

The Shiite's who hold to this supposed prophetic scenario believe that the return of this 12th Imam will be immediately preceded by a worldwide conflagration. Hence we have the reason for Iran's rabid interest to build nuclear weapons. Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believes this so much that he is willing to bring about that fiery melee in order to bring forth the Mahdi. Such a person coming on the scene to bring world peace would fulfill many of the Biblical prophecies of the coming of the Man of Perdition.

In a keynote speech on Wednesday to senior clerics, Ahmadinejad spoke of his strong belief in the second coming of Shi’ite Muslims’ “hidden” 12th Imam.

According to Shi’ite Muslim teaching, Abul-Qassem Mohammad, the 12th leader whom Shi’ites consider descended from the Prophet Mohammed, disappeared in 941 but will return at the end of time to lead an era of Islamic justice.

“Our revolution’s main mission is to pave the way for the reappearance of the 12th Imam, the Mahdi,” Ahmadinejad said in the speech to Friday Prayers leaders from across the country.

“Therefore, Iran should become a powerful, developed and model Islamic society.”

“Today, we should define our economic, cultural and political policies based on the policy of Imam Mahdi’s return. We should avoid copying the West’s policies and systems,” he added, newspapers and local news agencies reported.

Ahmadinejad refers to the return of the 12th Imam, also known as the Mahdi, in almost all his major speeches since he took office in August.

A September address to the U.N. General Assembly contained long passages on the Mahdi which confused Western diplomats and irked those from Sunni Muslim countries who believe in a different line of succession from Mohammed. (Reuters, Nov. 17, 2005)

When we hear those in the media or those in government using the term, "the religion of peace," we need to see what the true definition of peace really is, and what the Islamic definition of peace is. The definition of "peace" that we all understand is "an absence of war and hostilities." In the western world we tend to look at "peace" as being a current state of being. Sure, we can yearn and long for peace and that is in the future tense. During the Vietnam War, we were constantly bombarded by the news that told us that "Peace Talks" were being held in Paris; but that was future tense too. However, we never use the word "peace," in a future context to describe a people or creed that is currently at war, especially when they are a warring people.

The Religion of Peace (Tolerance Inc.) marches in England

One has to understand that when the media or the government describe Islam as a "religion of peace," they are using the Islamic definition of "peace." Nobody in their right minds could possibly describe a warring and barbaric religion as a people or creed of peace, unless they have been schooled by those who literally believe that malarkey. So, where the press and government people are concerned we have to come to one of two conclusions; either they are insane or their real masters are people who adhere to the supposed "religion of peace."

If you can look at the whole picture and you can allow your mind to think in chaotic and mind bending terms you can understand where Islam is coming from when they call themselves, "The Religion of Peace." They look at it from a futuristic viewpoint when they make such proclamations. The Koran charges Muslims to do one of three things with those who do not adhere to Islam:

1. Convert infidels that you can convert.
2. Enslave those who won't convert but aren't dangerous.
3. Kill those who fight conversion.

So when those of Islam call themselves a "Religion of Peace," what they are saying is that someday, when they have conquered the world through conversion, slavery and murder, then there will be peace. So it has to be understood that when they, or their puppets (the western media and politicians) say that they are a peaceful people it really isn't a lie, but it is a contortion of what the rest of the world would call truth.

We need to be in prayer for those who adhere to Islam. They're trapped in a demonic belief system that they see as a religion. They need the salvation that only comes through the blood of Yeshua and the acceptance of his love and sacrifice for them. We need that the Ruach Ha Kodesh will show them that they need to lay down their arms to show that they love peace. We need to pray that they will be shown that when they teach their children to love instead of hate, then there will be peace.

Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us. [Golda Meir: statement to National Press Club; Washington, D.C. in 1957]

As believers in Yeshua however, we know that there is only one way to true and lasting peace; and that is when the Prince of Peace (Yeshua) comes to live in the hearts of all the peoples in the Middle East, and in what is currently all Islamic lands. And, as Yeshua said:

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:3-21

KORANIC PASSAGES THAT PROVE

THAT ISLAM IS ANYTHING BUT PEACEFUL

Note: The following section was incorporated into this article from another article. If there is redundant information in the following section, please bear with us. Thanks.

To many Americans and perhaps many around the world, the events of September 11, 2001 were a wake-up call. We lived in some sort of delusion that harm really couldn't come to us because two large oceans separated our land from other lands where evil seemed to reign on a daily basis. There's been wars and rumors of wars all over the world, some of which we were involved in, but it never seemed to touch us here on American soil.

During this time The United States continued it's open door policy of immigration, allowing just about anyone to enter our land without much investigation and sometimes even turning a blind eye to some questionable persons entering in. It is because of this haphazard way of doing things that the terrorists that committed the 911 attacks were able to enter and stay here, some on expired visa's.

After the attack, fearing retribution on Islamic Americans, those in government started a massive campaign to ease the American populace of any unwarranted fears or actions on those who practice what was termed "a religion of peace." This campaign has for the most part worked. There have been a few instances of malice toward those who act or dress in Middle Eastern fashion and a lot of that was done toward Hindu's and Seiks, and others who happen to wear robes on their bodies and turbans on their heads.

Before going farther, it should be understood that the purpose of this document is not to incite violence toward anyone who practices Islam. The purpose is merely to point out disparities in what is being told to the American public concerning the supposed peacefulness of Islam. I know that right now there are some reading this article who probably think that I'm some sort of hypocrite because I'm a Christian and Christianity has had it's bad rap-sheet of crimes against others. There are also some who know from reading other pages on this site, that I am a Zionist Christian, with an unending love for Israel and the Jewish people. They will falsely say that Jews have perpetrated crimes against others during history. Well, the point is that you can't look back and keep moving forward. It's not Christians or Jews who are flying passenger ladened planes into skyscrapers. It's not Christians or Jews who are bombing nightclubs in Indonesia in order to kill innocent people. It's not Christians or Jews who are killing innocent men, women and children as they return from Shabbat services in Israel. It's not Christians or Jews who are killing Seiks in India. No, it's Islam who is at war with everyone who is not Islamic.

SO, WHO IS ALLAH ANYWAY?

There is a common misconception these days that says that Allah and the God of The Bible are the same God. Like anything else, we have to look at the origins to see where this Allah actually came from. In the Koran, published by Penguin Publishing, there is a short description that reads:

"Long before Muhammad's call, Arabian paganism was showing signs of decay. At the Ka'bah the Meccans worshiped not only Allah, the Supreme Semitic God, but also a number of female deities whom they regarded as the daughters of Allah."

Because this statement is printed in an accepted printing of the Koran, read by millions of adherents each day, then it has to be unarguably true. The religion that was practiced by the Arabians which inhabited the area around Mecca in Muhammad's time was called Sabianism. They worshipped more than 360 gods of which Allah was one of the greater gods. Allah was the Meccan Moon and War god. This can still be recognized by the crescent moon that one can see on all Mosques and flags of most of the nations that adhere to Islam.

These Meccans worshipped Allah as their moon and war god. It was believed that Allah was married to the sun, whom they regarded as a female deity. Their belief was that Allah and the sun goddess had three offspring, daughters, who are signified by three stars. The name of Mohammad's tribe was the Quarysh, and it is believed that they were worshippers of Allah the moon god for many years or perhaps generations before Mohammad was born. Because of this, Mohammad was born into, and indoctrinated into the Meccan cult of Sabianism, worshipping the moon as Allah, the war god.

Thus, we can ascertain without any problem that the god of Islam is not the God of the Bible. From here we'll move on to lists of things that the Koran says about people who don't adhere to the teaching of Mohammed. Then we will look at how the Koran contradicts itself. Then, we will look at some of the Koran's writings differ from the Bible's scripture. And finally, we'll look at some truly bizarre teaching of the Koran. After reading then you can make your own judgments.
