ISLAM AT WAR
slam at War: A New Strategy for the End Times - By Bill Wilson - www.watch.org
WASH—Jul 23—KIN—The rift of new round terrorist attacks, most publicly noticed in London, Iraq and Egypt, combined with undertones of peace by internationally recognized Islamic groups could signal a new strategy in Islam's war with the world.
Last week, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced with great fanfare in Washington, D.C., a nationwide television campaign depicting Muslims as peace-loving, law abiding people. The 30 second ads try to portray Muslims as normal, everyday kind of Americans concerned about the same issues as non-Muslims and just trying to get along in society.
Tuesday, it was reported that Some 82 member organizations of the International Islamic Council for Da'wa and Relief (IICDR) are calling to join international efforts to fight terror. The IICDR is a Cairo-based foundation of more than a hundred Islamic organizations from all over the world. Its goals include, among other issues, "security and justice on earth, according to the will of Almighty Allah."
The members are planning a gathering in Cairo next month to discuss the motives for terrorism and how to deal with this problem. Those seeking ways to turn a peace dividend state the obvious terrorism is tarnishing the image of Islam.
These efforts sound reasonable until one peek's under the veneer of public dialogue. CAIR has on its board of Directors members with very close ties to terrorism in the Middle East and they have stated publicly that they want the entire world, including the United States to be ruled under the flag of Islam.
Da'wa, in of itself, is an evangelistic outreach of Islam. Da'wa means to invite non-Muslims to accept the truth of Islam. It is an organized, systematic approach to introduce Islam to the communities to which Allah has given to his followers. It follows the concept that it is proper to first invite the infidels to join Islam by accepting the truth of Islam. For example, there is an intensive effort by American Muslims to recruit in public schools, which is going pretty much unchecked in the name of tolerance.
On one hand, radical Islam terrorizes the world. On the other, the so-called "moderate" Islam condemns terrorism and seeks to proselytize. The Western world can accept the evangelism as a civil action, and tends to embrace the concept, wishing to trust that the "moderate" Muslims are the real representatives of their religion. But there has never been peace in the Islamic religion, from its very inception.
There is great confusion among the general Western public about Islam. There are Imams who tout peace as their mantra and claim that the terrorists are fringe. There are the all too familiar words from other Imams that the goal of Islam is to rule the world. And in this confusion, a strategic ploy is born. For example, in Iraq there is a new constitution being drafted. Al Qaeda operatives are raining death upon the people of Iraq, applying enormous pressure against the formulization of any constitution. Meantime, Islamic right-wingers are busy within the drafting committee fighting diplomatically to establish Iraq as an Islamic theocracy—something that should send shivers down the spine of President George W. Bush, who has pinned the legacy of his presidency on the peace dividends of establishing democracy in Islamic countries.
According to a published draft of the new Iraqi constitution, framers are designating Islamic law as the legislative basis of the governing document—a massive departure from the model set forth by the U.S. A draft published in the government newspaper Al-Sabah says, "Islam is the official religion of the state and is the main source of legislation…No law that contradicts with its rules can be promulgated." The draft also places the Shiite sect a "guiding role" in recognition of its national religious prominence.
In this new constitution is the strategy to utilize democracy to establish the basis for the most radical elements of Islam to rule over the people and run a theocratic government.
The strategy of Islam now appears to use peaceful dialogue, even the condemnation of terrorist acts, to establish credibility and a beach-head from which to launch its radical agenda against those who do not submit to the "invitation to accept the truth of Islam."
Many Westerners will balk at this suggestion, but one needs look no further than the United Nations Oil for Food scandal to see the pattern of deceit and lies that the very strategic minds of Islam used to achieve military strength and a terrorist foothold in Iraq, Syria and Iran during the U.N. sanctions on Saddam Hussein's government. Iran is another chief example where the rhetoric of peace and non-nuclear proliferation does not match with the export of terrorism and the rush to acquire or build nuclear weapons.
Deception is the key tool of Islam. On one hand promote peace. On the other hand use force. Matthew 24 verses 3 and 4 say all that needs be said: "And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, 'Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of they coming, and of the end of the world?' And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Take heed that no man deceive you."
