ISLAM, BLOODY ISLAM
By Alan Caruba
In August 1994, a Muslim extremist, a member of the Islamic Liberation Party, expressed the essence of Islam, saying "There are 123 verses in the Koran about killing and fighting. Ours is not a passive religion."
The Islamic jihad that began with Mohammed and spread rapidly within a century after his death in 632 AD exists to impose Muslim rule on the entire world. While dormant until it awoke anew in 1979 with the Iranian revolution, few in the West were even aware of it.
Now, from New York City to Bali, from Jerusalem to Mobasa, from Kabul to Nairobi, the world has awakened slowly and reluctantly to the cruel history and reality of Islam, bloody Islam.
In the course of Islam's most sacred month, Ramadan, in which Muslims fast during the day from November 6 to December 5, the world witnessed the message of Islam's prophet, Mohammed. It is a call to endless jihad.
While Christians greet each other this month with the message of "peace on Earth, good will to all men" Muslims are globally expanding their unholy war.
The toll of 2002's Ramadan rose with every passing day, a warning to civilized peoples around the world they must fight for their very lives. During Ramadan this year:
Israelis were attacked repeatedly by the Palestinians.
In India, Hindus were attacked and killed in conflicts with Muslims.
In Iran, a Muslim scholar was sentenced to death for "insulting Mohammed."
In Jordan, an American aide worker was murdered.
In Beirut, Lebanon, bombs blasted through three fast-food restaurants associated with the U.S.A. In Sidon, Lebanon, a Christian missionary working in a medical clinic was murdered in cold blood.
A plot to fill London's subways with cyanide gas was thwarted.
The French arrested seven people alleged to have aided Richard Reid, the "shoe bomber."
In Malaysia, three men were arrested in a plot to blow up the U.S., Australian, and British embassies.
In Nigeria, contestants in the Miss World Contest fled for their lives as a Muslim riot killed more than a hundred people and attacked Christian churches.
In Kenya, missiles were fired at an Israeli commercial jet and an Israeli-owned hotel was bombed. In 1998, a bomb blast at the Kenya's U.S. embassy killed 219 people and wounded 5,000. In neighboring Tanzania on that day, another blast killed twelve people and wounded more than eighty.
Let the voices against America's resolve to remove Saddam Hussein from power be stilled.
Let the excuses for the Palestinian leaders end. They have oppressed, stolen from, and killed their own people.
Let us ally with Muslims and Islamic nations who truly seek peace.
The Great War of the 2lst century has begun in earnest and the enemy, for peace-loving Muslims and all others is Islam, captured by its most violent core, silencing the voice of its intelligencia and moderates, spreading death and destruction with every passing day.
