Islam’s holy text is the Qur’an but was not actually “written” until decades after the death of Muhammad (AD 570-632), who was the founder of Islam. Islam teaches a concept known as “abrogation” or replacement. Under this concept, a "sura" (chapter) or "ayah" (verse) that is given later is considered more authoritative than ones given earlier. “Slay the unbelievers until all of dominion is for Allah” (Quran: Sura 9.5) Islam was founded on violence. Let’s just trace the momentous advancement of extreme Islamic radicalization in the past century. Modern Islamism originated in 1928 with the “Muslim Brotherhood” which depicts itself as being simply socio-political. However, it is a camouflaged jihadi movement to ultimately gain control the world under the Qur’an’s Sharia Law. It was founded in Egypt by a 22-year-old Muslim named Hassan al-Banna. He had a great admiration of Adolf Hitler and even spied for Hitler’s Nazis in the Middle East. The Muslim Brotherhood are intensely antisemitic. The main objective of radical Islamism is to destroy Western cultures and values, while forcing their ideology and “religion” on the entire world. Just look at Europe where the Muslim takeover is happening at warp speed. The out-of-control dissemination of Islamism in Europe overlaps significantly with immigration patterns. Today we have numerous Islamic extremist groups polluting our world, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, Al-Nusra, Al-Shabaab, Houthis, ISIS etc., which grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood. The atrocities carried out by these Islamic terrorists has been experienced world-wide, culminating the 9/11 attacks, and more recently with the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Islam’s ideology goes beyond the Qur’an and shows its true colors in extremist interpretation of Sharia Law, which is an exceptionally broad legal system. While other legal codes regulate public behavior, Sharia regulates public behavior, private behavior, and private beliefs. Compared to other legal codes, Sharia law also prioritizes punishment over rehabilitation and favors corporal and capital punishments over incarceration. Of all legal systems in the world today, Sharia law is the most intrusive and restrictive, especially against women. In Muslim countries that follow Sharia Law, it is considered normal for women to be raped, trafficked, undergo genital mutilation, and forced to marry as young as six-years-old. Pedophilia is rampant and women are lucky if they are allowed to drive. Political correctness brand critics of this orchestrated takeover as “Islamophobia.” This term was actually coined by Muslims as part of their campaign to offset the opposition to and prevent criticism that Islam deserves. The trend to adopt Sharia Law in American communities is growing. There has been an increase of legal cases here in the United States where others attempt to impose Sharia law, under the guise of First Amendment protections, as a defense against crimes and other civil violations. The US cities with the largest Muslim population are Dearborn, Michigan; New York City; Paterson, New Jersey; Chicago; Houston; Los Angeles; Atlanta; Philadelphia; Minneapolis; and Dallas. Then we have Hamtramck, Michigan with a population of 28,000 which has an all-Muslim City Counselor and Muslim mayor with the bragging rights of becoming first US city to have a Muslim-American government. This year, Texas Governor Abbott halted the construction of a proposed Muslim-only community near Dallas that was designed to operate solely under Sharia law. Will it be the last? I doubt it. We need to open our eyes to the subtle and subversive actions to rid our nation of its Judeo-Christian roots. It begins with prayer coupled with engaging in what is happening in our schools, local government, and media. For example, when building permits are granted to those wanting to build more mosques (currently there are nearly 4,000 in the US), while denying permits to build churches, we have a problem. Let’s not wait till it comes to this. Lean on the One True God of the Bible before Sharia law comes to your town! “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Deuteronomy 5:7
