_____________________________________________________________________________

This book is dedicated to all the people of the world, whatever their beliefs may be.

The chapters are:

> Introduction

> 1 Early Life

> 2 Islam is Founded

> 3 Islam Grows

> 4 Emigration to Medina

> 5 Sharia Law and the Koran of Medina …. 2:106 Whatever of Our revelations we repeal or cause to be forgotten, we will replace with something superior or comparable. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things? Do you not know that Allah reigns sovereign over the heavens and earth and besides him you have no protector or helper?

> 6 The Jews Fall from Grace

> 7 Jihad Begins ….. But the Koran said: 2:217 When they ask you about fighting in the holy month, say: Fighting at this time is a serious offense, but it is worse in Allah’s eyes to deny others the path to Him, to disbelieve in Him and to drive His worshipers out of the Sacred Mosque. Idolatry is a greater sin than murder. They will not stop fighting you until you turn away from your religion. But any of you who renounce your faith and die a Kaffir will have your works count for nothing in this world and the world to come. These people will be prisoners of the Fire, where they will live forever.

So once again the Koran spoke: 2:218 Those who believe and those who have fled their countries and have fought for Allah’s cause [Jihad] may hope for His mercy; Allah is forgiving and merciful.

> 8 The Battle of Badr

> 9 Abrogation of the Koran ….. From the Koran of Mecca: 88:21 Warn them, because you [Mohammed] are merely a warner. You have no authority over them, but whoever turns back and disbelieves, Allah will punish them terribly. Compare this with the later Koran of Medina:8:12 Then your Lord spoke to His angels and said, alI will be with you. Give strength to the believers. I will send terror into the Kaffirs hearts, cut off their heads and even the tips of their fingers! This was because they opposed Allah and His messenger. Ones who oppose Allah and His messenger will be severely punished by Allah. We said, This is for you! Taste it and know that the Kaffirs will receive the torment of the Fire.

> 10 War is Deceit …. The Koran backs this up: 8:38 Tell the Kaffirs that if they change their ways, then they will be forgiven for their past. If, however, they continue to sin, let them remember the fate of those who came before them. Fight against them until they stop persecuting you, and Allah

s religion reigns sovereign over all others. If they cease, Allah knows all they do, but if they turn their backs, know that Allah is your protector an excellent helper.

> 11 The First Tribe of Jews ….. the response of The Koran:3:12 say to the Kaffirs, Soon you will be defeated and thrown into hell, a wretched home! Truly, there has been a sign for you in the two armies which met in battle. One army fought for Allah’s cause, and the other Army was a group of Kaffirs, and the Kaffirs saw with their own eyes that their enemy was twice its actual size. Allah gives help to whom he pleases. Certainly there is a lesson to be learned in this for those who recognize it.

The response by The Koran: 5:57O, you who believe, do not take those who have received the Scriptures [Jews and Christians] before you, who have scoffed and jested at your religion, or who are Kaffirs for your friends. Fear Allah ifyou are true believers. When you call to prayer, they make it a mockery and a joke. This is because they are a people who do not understand.

> 12 The Battle of Uhud …… From the Koran: 3:140 If you have been wounded, be certain that the same has already befallen your enemies. We bring misfortune to mankind in turns so that Allah can discern who are the true believers and so that we may select Martyrs from among you. Allah doesnot love those who do evil.3:142 Did you think that you would be permitted into Paradise before Allah tested you to see who would fight for his cause [Jihad] and endure until the end?

> 13 The Second Tribe of Jews ….. From The Koran:59:2 It was He who caused the People of the Book [the Jews] to leave their homes and go into the first exile. They did not think they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses could protect them from Allah. But Allah’s wrath reached them from where they did not expect it and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their homes with their own hands, as well as by the hands of the believers. Take warning from this example, you who have the eyes to see it!

> 4 The Battle of the Trench ….. The Koran makes mention of this event:33:26 He brought down some of the People of the Book [the Jews] out of their fortresses to aid the confederates and to strike terror into their hearts. Some you killed, and others you took captive. He made you heirs of their land, their homes, and their possessions, and even gave you another land on which you had never before set foot. Allah has power over everything

> 15 An Attempted Assassination

> 16 Jihad Continues

> 17 Khaybar, the First Dhimmis ….. The Koran spoke about Dhimmitude: 9:29 Make war on those who have received the scriptures (Jews and Christians) but do not believe in Allah or in the last day. They do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden. The Christians and Jews do not follow the religion of truth until they submit and pay the poll tax (Jizya), and they are humiliated.

> 18 More About Dhimmitude

> 19 Dhimmitude Today

> 20 War Treasure

> 21 The Death of a Poetess

> 22 Free Speech Today

> 23 The End of the World ….. From the Koran:9:5 When the sacred months [by ancient Arab custom there were four months during which there was to be no violence] are passed, kill the Kaffirs wherever you find them. Take them as captives, besiege them, and lie in wait for them with every kind of ambush. If they submit to Islam, observe prayer, and pay the poor tax, then let them go their way. Allah is gracious and merciful.

9:38 Oh, believers, what possessed you that when it was said, March forth in Allah’s cause [jihad], you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the next? Little is the comfort of this life compared to the one that is to come. Unless you march forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and He will put another in your place. You will not harm Him at all, for Allah has power over everything.
