History of Islam: The So Many Totalitarian Regimes... ... The so many battles and wars
http://biblia.com/islam/islam.htm In the history of religions is obvious that Religion and Politics is a lethal mixture... in the name of Religion many battles and wars have been fought... often not because of the Religion itself, but using Religion as an excuse. Look even today at the many civil disturbances and wars around the world which are at least partly caused by religious intolerance: Middle East, Israel-Palestine, Sudan, Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Kosovo, East Timor, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tibet... see The Dark Side of Christianity: <http://www.biblia.com/christianity/> Inquisition, Crusades, bad Popes, Priests scandals... In Islam the problem is accentuated because the Ruler of a Muslim country is at the same time the Political and Religious leader... starting with Muhammed himself who personally fought many wars to defend and expand Islam, and of course he is the model for all the Muslims... and because the final aim of Islam is to conquer the whole world for Allah... by peaceful means, or by war, as started by the Prophet himself. Empires of Islam <http://www.biblia.com/islam/history.htm> . Christians have apologized for he atrocities of the Crusades and Inquisition, even the Pope John Paul II, but I don't know of any Muslim apologizing for the atrocities done by Islam in the name of God for centuries... hundreds of battles, wars, all kinds of terrorism, suicide bombers... the last one today, September 11, 2001, in the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington... I have met many Muslims in New York, Palestine, Egypt, North and South Africa, India, China, and all of them are good people, good friends, hard workers, reliable... however, in Islam there have been hundreds of totalitarian regimes for centuries, starting with the Prophet Himself, with Muhammed (peace be upon him)... the aim of most of them, like Hitler or Stalin, was to expand Islam to the neighboring countries, if necessary by war, with thousands of wars made in the name of God, and millions killed for the only crime of not being a Muslim... If you look at "A Brief Chronology of Muslim History" it looks like the history of battles and wars in the world: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/history/chronology/ http://www.barkati.net/english/chronology.htm Empirs of <http://biblia.com/islam/history.htm> Islam Most of the hundreds of Muslims rulers, caliphs, sultans or ayatollahs, had a totalitarian regime, a dictatorship as complete as the one of Hitler or Stalin... even a more complete dictatorship, because it always included the total religious ruling on top of the political, social, and economic ruling. The Muslims in a Muslim Country: Most Muslim countries today are part of the third world of under-developed countries... many rulers use their huge oil wealth and money for personal wealth and for the cause of Islam, instead of the betterment of the poor brothers Muslim citizens... look at Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine... Kadafy in Libya, the Kings in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria... The non-Muslims in a Muslim Country: Inside of most Muslim countries is like the Nazi regime or Communism: Islam often makes the lives impossible to the non-Muslims, imposing severe taxes (the Jizya or poll tax), and even killing millions... like today in Sudan: We're talking here not about discrimination, but persecution of the worst sort: slavery, starvation, torture, murder.... for the only crime of being a Christian... about 1.3 million of them dead only in Sudan, in a country with only 5 million Christians: World Report: Sudan <http://www.hrw.org/pubweb/Webcat-93.htm> Sudan <http://srd.yahoo.com/goo/sudan+killings/4/*http:/www.arabicnews.com/ansub/D aily/Day/990406/1999040669.html> - UN - killings Slavery in Sudan <http://skyfamily.com/4_freedom/slavefree.html> Amnesty <http://srd.yahoo.com/goo/sudan+killings/5/*http:/www.amnesty.org/ailib/aire port/ar99/afr54.htm> International 1999 Annual Report on Sudan Sudan: <http://srd.yahoo.com/goo/sudan+killings/6/*http:/www.africapolicy.org/docs9 5/ai9501.sud.htm> Amnesty International Campaign And Honor <http://www.vibrani.com/honorkillings.htm> Killings in other Muslim countries, like Jordan, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Morocco, Egypt, the Gulf States, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Yemen... And, on top of it, when there is not enough power, all kinds of terrorism, suicide bombers... and all of it in the name of Allah, the Islamic Holy War <http://biblia.com/islam/war.htm> ... based on the teachings of the the Quran and Hadith. All of it started with the Prophet Himself, Muhammed: As a Muslim web site states, "roughly speaking, the Prophet launched 80 campaigns during the ten years from his migration in A.D. 622 to his death in A.D. 632. Some of these campaigns were nothing more than reconnaissance missions..." http://www.al-islam.org/restatement/20.htm But here are some of the real wars fought by the Prophet Himself, again, as stated in a Muslim web site: The <http://www.geocities.com/badr_313/> Battle of Badr The Battle of Badr-2. <http://www.al-islam.org/history/history/badr.html> The Battle of Ohod <http://www.al-islam.org/history/history/ohod.html> The Battle of Uhud-2 <http://www.islam101.com/rasool/bio/uhud.htm> The Battle of Trench <http://alislaah3.tripod.com/alislaah/id9.html> The Banu <http://www.tazkiya.net/Library/Books/A_Ali/17_ali_bin_talib.htm> Quraizah The <http://www.masom.com/khaibar.html> Battle of Haibar The Battle of Mut'ah <javascript:openWin('BioBattles/Mutah.asp')> The Conquest of Makkah <javascript:openWin('BioBattles/Makkah.asp')> The <javascript:openWin('BioBattles/Hunayn.asp')> Battle of Hunayn The Battle of Ta'if <javascript:openWin('BioBattles/Taif.asp')> The Battle of Tabuk <javascript:openWin('BioBattles/Tabuk.asp')> Conquest <http://global.globale.net/%7Eheritage/histoire/history03/history328.html> of Mecca Every Muslim claims that Islam is the religion of peace... however, here is another opinion by The <http://www.balaams-ass.com/alhaj/bukhar52.htm> Hadith of Muhammed: "Fighting and Sacred Rage in the Cause of Allah (Jihad): War, killing, and rage were the foundation of Islam, and it is the same to this hour in the heart of Ghadaffi, Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Laden. Islam is a religion of death and killing for their god." The wars continued with his "successors" (the "caliphs"): (Empires of <http://www.biblia.com/islam/history.htm> Islam) - The Successors of the Prophet: ("Caliph" means "successor"): The Four Rightly Guided Caliphs: Abu Bakr <http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/ReligioNet/ER/Islam/IGLOSSRY.HTM#abu> , Umar <http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/ReligioNet/ER/Islam/IGLOSSRY.HTM#umar> , Uthman <http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/ReligioNet/ER/Islam/IGLOSSRY.HTM#uthman> , and Ali <http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/ReligioNet/ER/Islam/IGLOSSRY.HTM#ali> . The world of Islam would expand far beyond the borders of the Arabian peninsula during their tenure- war after war, to the east into the Persian empire, north into Byzantine territory, and west across the face of northern Africa. Umar continued the war of conquests begun by Abu Bakr. He pressed into the Persian Empire itself, but he also headed north into Syria and Byzantine territory and west into Egypt. By 640, Islamic military campaigns had brought all of Mesopotamia and most of Syria and Palestine under the control of Abu Bakr. Egypt was conquered by 642 and the Persian Empire by 643. These were some of the richest regions in the world guarded by powerful militaries-and they fell into Islamic hands in a heartbeat http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/ISLAM/CALIPH.HTM <http://www.wsu.edu/%7Edee/ISLAM/CALIPH.HTM> Within a decade they took control of Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Iran, all Mesopotamia... capturing Damascus in 635, Jerusalem in 640, Cairo in 641, Alexandria in 642... Meanwhile, Uthman <http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/ReligioNet/ER/Islam/IGLOSSRY.HTM#uthman> , and Ali <http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/ReligioNet/ER/Islam/IGLOSSRY.HTM#ali> were assassinated by fellow Muslims...Uthman while he was reading the Koran he published, and Ali by Muawiyah, the founder of the Umayyad <http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/ReligioNet/ER/Islam/IGLOSSRY.HTM#umayyad> Dynasty. Here is an explanation of these assassinations among brother Muslims by The <http://www.balaams-ass.com/alhaj/bukhar52.htm> Hadith of Muhammed: "Allah's Apostle said, "Allah welcomes two men with a smile; one of whom kills the other and both of them enter Paradise. One fights in Allah's Cause and gets killed. Later on Allah forgives the 'killer who also get martyred (In Allah's Cause)."... Here is a very important matter. We often wonder how Muslims kill each other and both parties scream "Jihad" as they kill each other. Muhammed says that Allah is happy to see them BOTH killing each other. The cause is not the point-- just kill, kill, kill." - Here is a list of European countries which were occupied by Muslims (either Arabs, Moors, or Ottoman Turks): Spain 800 years, Portugal 600 years, Greece 500 years, Sicily 300 years, Serbia 400 years, Bulgaria 500 years, Rumania 400 years, Hungary 150 years... Italy, Austria, Bosnia, Croatia, Wallachia, Albania, Moldavia, Armenia, Georgia, Poland, the Ukraine, and eastern and southern Russia were all battlefields where Islam conquered or was conquered in violent conflicts marked by cruelty, bloodlust, and a fearful loss of life, spread over considerably more than a thousand years... stopped in France by Charles Martel. What do Islamic scholars have to say about offensive war? See Islam Offensive War to <http://answering-islam.org/BehindVeil/btv2.html> Spread European history has remained transfixed on the Christian Crusades of the eleventh to the thirteenth centuries, it has largely ignored these Muslim attacks and invasions...When accusing the West of imperialism, Muslims are obsessed with the crusades <http://biblia.com/islam/crusades.htm> , but have forgotten their own longer and more gruesome Jihad. - For most of Africa and Asia look at http://barkati.net/english/... Slavery in Sudan <http://skyfamily.com/4_freedom/slavefree.html> To Africa: Most of it!, North and sub-Saharan countries. Asia: India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China. http://www.zanzibar-archives.org/slv.htm Those hundreds of Caliphs, Sultans, and Ayatollahs had the same supreme power of Hitler and Stalin, including the heroes Suleiman the Magnificent and Saladin the Great Sultan of Egypt... with the specific titles of Political and Religious Total Rulers... and for hundreds of years!... ... And they still have the same total political and religious power in most Muslim countries today: Kadafy in Libya, the Kings in Jordan and Syria, in Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Arafat in Palestine... and most ofthese countries are part of the third world of under-developed countries... using the rulers their huge oil wealth and money for personal wealth and for the cause of Islam, instead of the betterment of the poor brothers Muslim citizens... ... Only today they do not have enough resources to conquer the neighboring countries nor the world, which is their ultimate aim, and they use instead all kinds of terrorism and suicide bombers... But even today Muslims Wars are going on: The Muslims Palestinians have a continuos war of terrorism against Israel. In Sudan, Africa, the Muslim government of the north have already killed over one million Christians in the south. Algeria is wracked by bitter fighting between Islamic Fundamentalists and the military. Nigeria is in the midst of a civil war between Moslems and Christians. In Kenya the Islamic Party has declared Holy War on the government. Colonel Khaddafy and his Libyan army have carried out numerous military excursions into neighboring Chad, and, like Aphganistan and Iran, is the basis for terrorism plots. In Turkey the secular Muslim government is being challenged by militant Refah Islamic Party. A war also rages between Christian Ethiopia and Muslim Eritrea. The fight between Christian Armenians and Muslim Azerbaijans ( 35,000 casualties), after which tiny Armenia was shrunk further because of territory "gained" by the "breeding-with-a-vengeance" Muslims population. A war between the Christian Serbs and the Muslim Albanians could spark at any moment. Muslims in Chechnya, Daghestan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have ignited insurrection against the pro-Russian regimes. Two articles in the L.A. Times wrote about Muslims in Indonesia forcing Christians of all denominations to convert to Islam or get their throats slit. Thousands upon thousands of Christians have been first converted, and then sexually mutilated with kitchen knives and razor blades to make them conform to Muslim standards. Afterwards, they are enslaved to their local Muslim chieftain. This was not some aberration of Islam, but rather business as usual for all but the moderate factions. They have a history of murder, terror, lies and brainwashing to advance their cause of global conversion and subjugation... Their Jihad!. Unfortunately, most people aren't aware of this murderous philosophy, or they find it too monstrous to believe... But The history of Islam all along the centuries has been this: There is nothing between us and you except three things: 1- Embrace Islam, become our brethren and you will have what we have. 2- If you refuse that, you are obligated to pay tribute with humiliation (the Jizya or poll tax). 3- Or War...or terrorism... or suicide bombers... 4- And, on top of that, all kind of internal struggles between Muslim against Muslim, even assassinations... This dark side of Islam, the awful truth, has its roots in Islamic teaching <http://biblia.com/islam/war.htm> , this teaching is based upon the Quran and Hadith. Belief is a powerful motivational force, especially when it is learned from an early age; people lie, murder, commit suicide, seek war and revenge all on the basis of belief, or if they have alternative beliefs which oppose these, they will seek love and peace. Islam can be spread by war or any other means. Islam does not allow freedom of belief; it does not allow true freedom of religion. Christians have apologized for he atrocities of the Crusades and Inquisition, even John Paul II, but I don't know of any Muslim apologizing for the atrocities done by Islam for centuries. Extension of Islam Today: Today there are 1,100 Muslims, and Islam is not only Arab, but it is represented in all the major races and cultures in over 30 countries... most of it conquered by war!. Indonesia has the largest membership of Muslims: 130 million... Asia and Middle East: 760 million: Indonesia: 130m. (90%). India: 80m. (13%). Pakistan: 73m. (97%). Bangladesh: 72m. (85%).
