Mohammed: the ugly truth about the founder of the world's most violent religion
(by a priest who lived and ministered among Muslims)

The Life and Religion of Mohammed by J.L. Menezes Fr. J.L. Menezes knew
Islam up close: as a priest in India, he devoted his priestly life to
introducing that nation's tens of millions of Muslims to Christianity. With
this life of Mohammed, he left us the record of his appeals: a frank, honest,
and exhaustively researched exploration of the life of the "prophet" of Islam,
the development and contents of the Koran, and an introduction to various
Muslim sects.
Such a viewpoint, argues Serge Trifkovic, foreign affairs editor of
Chronicles magazine, is not only false but dangerous, since it blinds to the
true nature of the enemy that threatens us. Moreover, it betrays a hidden
agenda: to discredit Christianity and the West by comparison to a sanitized,
idealized Islam that bears no resemblance to its actual teachings or history.
To correct this, Trifkovic gives us the unvarnished, "politically incorrect"
truth about Islam -- including the shocking facts about its founder, Mohammed;
its rise through bloody conquest; its sanctioning of theft, deceit, lust and
murder; its persecutions of Christians, Jews, Hindus and other "infidels"; its
cruel mistreatment of women; the colossal myth of its cultural "golden age";
its irreformable commitment to global conquest by any means necessary; the
broad sweep of the military, political, moral, and spiritual struggle that
faces us; and what we must do if we wish to survive. Get the details and
documentation for hundreds of "politically incorrect" facts about Islam --
such as:
The Koran sanctions pillage, looting, ransom, and the rape of captive women
as an incentive to join in jihad or "holy war"
Mohammed kept one-fifth of all spoils of war for himself
The Koran allows a man to have up to four wives -- at any one time. He can
divorce a wife by simply saying so 3 times
Mohammad had as many as 25 wives. One was six when they married; he was 54.
He consummated the marriage when she was 9
At least 27 people were murdered on Mohammed's orders
Mohammed allowed temporary marriage "for three nights" or more, so that
soldiers in the field could "marry" prostitutes
The Koran assures the Muslim the right to own slaves by purchasing them or
as a bounty of war. Mohammad had dozens
Almsgiving and mercy is commended in Islam -- but the beneficiaries have to
be Muslims only
In Islam, the definition of what is "right" or "just" is not fixed, but
changeable by divine decree -- enabling the most henous sins and crimes to be
declared "the will of Allah"
The joys and glories of the Islamic "paradise" are tangible and sensual and
include sex with virgins -- and young boys
As Mohammad progressed from visionary and teacher to warlord and ruler, his
style and message became more depraved, violent and intolerant. It is these
later "revelations" that are considered definitive by Islamic authorities when
they conflict with earlier ones often cited for Western consumption
The Crusades were a belated military response to three centuries of Muslim
aggression against Christian lands and peoples
Islam divides the world into the House of Islam (where Islam rules) and the
House of War (where it doesn't). The two are permanently at war; there may be
temporary truces, but peace will come only upon the completion of global
conquest
When Muslims are a minority community, the Koran permits them to adopt a
peaceful attitude to deceive their neighbors, until they feel strong enough to
dispense with the pretense
The massacres perpetrated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history,
bigger in sheer numbers than the Holocaust
Muslim persecution of Christians has caused suffering and death for millions
over 13 centuries -- and continues today
The myth of Islam's "tolerance" of religious minorities contradicts its
teaching, history, and present reality
Islam's "golden age" was parasitic on the Christian cultures and peoples it
conquered, and ended when it "killed the host"
In 1993, Saudi Arabia's supreme religious authority declared that the world
is flat, and that anyone who disagrees is an infidel to be punished
Like Communism, Islam cannot foster prosperity, and is always reliant on
plunder or unearned wealth (e.g., from oil)
Islam recognizes no distinction between temporal and divine authority; the
only "legitimate" government is a theocracy
America's "ally" Saudi Arabia remains the most intolerant Islamic regime in
the world, where the practice of any religion besides Islam is as strictly
prohibited as in Mohammed's day
The first imam to deliver a Muslim prayer for the U.S. House of
Representatives in 1991, declared in 1997 that Muslims will eventually elect
the president and replace the constitutional government with an Islamic
caliphate
"The arbiters of official Islam will not tell us what Islam is, only what
they want it to be. For the truth, we must turn Dr. Serge Trifkovic, a European
historian of broad learning, sound philosophy and keen political insight." --
Brian Mitchell, Washington Bureau Chief, Investor's Business Daily

This exceptionally fluid argument against militant Islam omits too many
articles bu reports more Islamic savagery than Rober Spencer's "Islam Unveiled"
and critiques Muslim theology more thoroughly than Timothy George'' "Is the
Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad?" Its most important distinction is
Trifkovic's insistence that "the problem [for the West] is not prejudice about
Islam, but folly in the face of its violence and cruelty," manifested today in
such horrors as the ongoing slaughter of Sudanese Christians and the appalling
anti-Semitism of the Islamic press and such Islamic legal authorities as the
mufti of Jerusalem. Like Roger Scruton in "The West and the Rest" Trifkovic
doesn't endorse war against Islam. Instead, the West must defend itself against
Islamic aggression (e.g., by restricting immigration and reducing dependence on
Islamic-controlled oil) and help non-Muslims oppressed in Islamic societies.
Powerful stuff powerfully presented. - Ray Olson in BOOKLIST (published
by American Library Association), October 1, 2002
* * * * * * In his excellent new book, The Sword of the Prophet, The
Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam, Serge Trifkovic documents how Muhammad,
like a mafia don, put out contracts on those who dared to criticize his august
personage. Trifkovic also describes Muhammads genocidal campaign against
Arabia's Jewish tribes [?] Thus was the precedent firmly established for holy
warriors, wars of annihilation, suicide bombers, forced conversions, snipers
and those who fly jetliners into skyscrapers. We are in the midst of another
global struggle. Like communism and Nazism (mere blips on the historical radar
screen, by comparison), the foe this time is as much an ideology as a religion.
Its an all-encompassing dogma that regulates the lives of its followers down to
the most minute detail. Its an ideology which can not coexist with other
creeds. Its a worldview which sanctions -- nay, glorifies -- mass murder to
advance its goal of world conquest. - Don Feder

Neither Christians nor Jews can claim that their religion has always been
innocuous. What Serge Trifkovic argues in "The Sword of the Prophet," however,
is that the raw stuff from which Islam is made is particularly dangerous and
unpromising, that the bellicose tradition is worse than admitted by the
influential Islamic Studies lobby, that the present threat from Islam is
alarming, and that the future demands the vigilance of non-Muslims. In doing
so, he challenges the opinion that all religions are equally valid. [?] The
most striking claim in "The Sword of the Prophet" is that the American elite's
extreme version of post-Christian religion is bent more aggressively against
historic Christianity than any other religion in the West and could even enter
into partnership with Islam. - Michael Stenton in CHRONICLES, November 2002

Serge Trifkovic's piercing analysis of the true nature of Islam is accurate,
factual and brutally truthful.
Islam is more than a simple religion: Islam is a comprehensive cultural,
political and religious movement that covers every aspect of a Muslim's daily
life, a fact that Americans fail to appreciate or choose to ignore.
As he begins his journey through his narrative, Trifkovic accurately points out
that it was Muhammad who promoted Allah to the status of supremecy. Allah,
whose name comes from Al-ilah, was originally the Quraysh tribe's moon god.
This explains why, in a dose of irony, flags of Muslim nations sport the
crescent moon.
In a flash of truth, the author also confronts the clue-less politically
correct crowd who spin an evil web of disinformation when they tell us that
Islam is a religion of peace. This is a lie, for the Qu'ran in Sura 2:216 tells
Muslims that war is good. The Qu'ran says in Sura 9:5 to slay those who will
not believe in Islam and in Sura 5:33 to execute those who resist Islam.
Then he covers the tragic social aspect of the Muslim treatment of women, where
in Sura 4:34, a man is given permission to "punish his wife," (including
physical abuse) if she is "disobedient."
Serge Trifkovic is courageous and he should be applauded for his grand effort
to "Open the eyes of the blind and to set the captives free."

After checking the book and not to make this long; I believe the mistake
nowadays is not really about Islam . . . Its about believing that a foreign
affairs editor could tell the truth and even more have a book. Thats really
ironic.
