The Life of Muhammad A Translation from Ibn Ishaqs Sirat Rasul

Allah by A. Guillaume
The book documents, in lurid detail, the violent actions of the
prophet of Islam and his followers in their efforts to spread Islam by
persuasion (first) and then by force. To truly understand Islam, you
must first understand Muhammad from the non-Muslims point of
view.
Reliance of the Traveller a Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law.
The book was originally written in the 14th century and explains
Islamic Sharia law in great detail and how it relates to Muslim and
non-Muslim alike.
Once you know the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, you will have a
better understanding of the true nature of Islam.
Once you have a better understanding of the true nature of Islam,
youll understand why it is much more than a personal religion
between the individual and their deity. You will understand that
Islam is a totalitarian ideology like Nazism that must be resisted and
fought against. We hope that you accept the challenge.
The Quran the primary holy book of the Islamic ideology.
a al-Bukhr - These anecdotes and sayings of the prophet, or
hadith, give the reader great insight into the true character of the
prophet Muhammad. In some circles, this book is considered the
most authentic book after the Quran. The Arabic word Sahih
translates as authentic or correct.
In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
George Orwell

Islam teaches that the Quran is Allahs eternal and perfect word
spoken straight from the angel Gabriel to Muhammad. The Quran
also says that Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, is the most
beautiful pattern of conduct and example for mankind to follow
(Quran 33:21) and the exalted standard of conduct (Quran 68:4)
[1].
It is also historical fact that Muhammad committed genocide in the
name of his religion (Ibn Ishaq 690) [2], ordered the murder of
women who mocked or opposed him (Ibn Ishaq 996) [3], had
people tortured to death for monetary gain and encouraged theft
from non-Muslims in order to fund violent jihad (Ibn Ishaq 764) [4],
bought, sold and gave female sex slaves as gifts [5] and ordered
multiple assassinations (Ibn Ishaq 551 and 982)[6].
Seven hundred years after the death of Muhammad and several
hundred years before the birth of either Israel or the United States
of America, the following words were written by Ibn Khaldun, a 14th
century Islamic jurist and renowned philosopher.
In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because
of the mission (and the obligation) to convert everybody to Islam
either by persuasion or by force
-The Muqudimmah, Vol 1, pg. 73, 1958
The qualitative (technical expertise, funding, etc.) and the
quantitative (20,000 plus attacks) nature of Islamic terrorism speaks
for itself. However, what seems to elude people is the religious
basis for this terrorism.
In this pamphlet, we will examine ONLY ONE VERSE out of over 100
verses in the Quran calling for violence against non-Muslims to help
point you in the right direction

Quran 3:110 [7] You (Muslims) are the best nation raised for
mankind; you enjoin what is right, eradicate what is evil (according
to Islam) and believe in Allah.
In the book, How to Approach and Understand the Quran,
Jamaal al-Din M. Zarabozo gives the following explanation of this
verse.
For example, within society itself, Allah tells the believers
(Muslims) that they do not have the right to allow others to do evil
(according to Islam) or spread evil in their midst.
Once you are armed with this knowledge, it becomes easy to see
the religious component of Islamic terrorism. When liquor stores
are bombed in southern Lebanon, sex shops are vandalized in
France or homosexuals and Jews are violently assaulted on the
streets of Europe by adherents to the religion of Islam screaming
Allahu Akbar, remember Quran 3:110.
While we believe that the Quran calls for perpetual violence against
non-Muslims, does it matter? No, not really. What matters is that
the Islamic preachers of hatred and jihadists claim that it does and
use it as the justification for their actions.
Unlike our public officials and apologists for Islam, who ask you to
trust them and often adopt a nothing to see here folks attitude
toward the issue of Islam and its ties to terrorism, we say quite the
opposite. Dont trust us. Dont take our word for it. We ask that you
take the time and effort to study Islam from the point of view of the
non-Muslim and make up your own mind as an educated,
concerned citizen.

what they do not want to hear.
