Worldwide Islam Today, by Country<br />
Unfortunately, even long recent centuries <strong>of</strong> social/economic/military failures have not removed the<br />
jihadist imperative from the souls <strong>of</strong> Muslims. Far from having fallen into remission, jihad remains an<br />
ever-present threat, the default mode <strong>of</strong> operation whenever Muslims find themselves in close and<br />
sustained proximity with non-believers. All over the world today, there are many stories to be found<br />
detailing Muslim terrorists, operating for <strong>Islam'</strong>s sake, attacking, bombing, and murdering those they feel<br />
inhibit their aims. Islamists are attacking non-Muslims along a vast arc extending from Nigeria to<br />
Indonesia. Violence occurs between Muslims and Orthodox Serbs in the Balkans, Jews in Israel, Hindus<br />
in India, Buddhists in Burma and Catholics in the Philippines. It is no accident that from its inception,<br />
Islam has always had bloody borders, as violence has always been integral to Islam. How can it possibly<br />
be otherwise with Quranic direction like sura 9: 73,122-123 "Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and<br />
the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate" … "Believers, make<br />
war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous". It<br />
appears a majority <strong>of</strong> Muslims in the world today may indeed view America as the last great wall<br />
preventing the natural advance <strong>of</strong> Islam. In their mind, America must be destroyed or brought down, by<br />
any means necessary, to facilitate the end goal <strong>of</strong> all true Islamists, the total domination <strong>of</strong> all people and<br />
places. This is what motivated Sheik Rahman to try and blow up the New York towers. This is what<br />
motivates many Muslims throughout America to speak <strong>of</strong> a day when America will fall to <strong>Islam'</strong>s power.<br />
The Abu-Hafs al-Masri Brigades, a group linked to al Qaeda, took credit for the Nov 2003 Istanbul,<br />
Turkey synagogue attacks stating: "The remaining operations are coming, God willing, and by God, Jews<br />
around the world will regret that their ancestors even thought about occupying the land <strong>of</strong> Muslims."<br />
Does the God <strong>of</strong> Islam urge his people to kill other people who are gathered to worship? If not, we would<br />
hear Muslims speaking out clearly stating that the God <strong>of</strong> Islam does not urge the children <strong>of</strong> Ishmael to<br />
murder the children <strong>of</strong> Isaac, and not just Islamic politicians issuing statements to westerners, but clerics,<br />
imams, teachers, ayatollahs, and common lay members who regularly drop to their prayer rugs and fill<br />
mosques for worship.<br />
Many Muslims might be peace loving and thoroughly disgusted with the acts <strong>of</strong> Islamic terrorism, but<br />
it is a sad fact that most <strong>of</strong> them are afraid to do anything about it. They know better than anyone the<br />
number, strength, and probable consequences <strong>of</strong> opposing the extremists. Also, it should be pointed out<br />
that many Muslims do not know in any detail the historical facts surrounding their own prophet. But in<br />
contrast, Muslim terrorists are usually very well educated in Islamic history, doctrine, and theology. They<br />
are the pious members <strong>of</strong> the ‘religion’ … spiritual leaders, and they operate with full confidence<br />
knowing they are following the example <strong>of</strong> their prophet. So <strong>of</strong>ten we hear <strong>of</strong> the fire-breathing clerics,<br />
even in this country, spewing hateful sermons inciting followers to act against many perceived enemies.<br />
The western expectation is that ‘moderate’ Muslims sanction them and appoint/elect better teachers and<br />
representatives, but to hope for such is naïve. To become a pious leader in Islam is to become fully<br />
acquainted with the real Muhammad and real Jihad. There are in reality relatively few religious leaders<br />
who teach a doctrine different than the one taught by Muhammad, and those are rightly considered<br />
apostate or corrupt teachers by most Islamic bodies in the world. In most parts <strong>of</strong> the Muslim world, there<br />
are the fire-breathing types <strong>of</strong> leaders who make no bones about their violent leanings, and then there are<br />
the more savvy diplomatic types who speak conciliatory tones when non-Muslims are near. But to their<br />
own people and in their native tongues, <strong>of</strong>ten those same diplomats can be heard praising all terrorists<br />
who act in Islam’s name calling them Heroes and Martyrs. Remember that lying and deceiving nonbrothers<br />
is explicitly allowed by Islamic doctrine set down by Muhammad himself.<br />
Recent Islamic Terrorism Actions, by Country<br />
ALGERIA - Approximately 130,000 people have been killed in Algeria during the last 9 years or so. The<br />
incidents are too numerous to report in any detail, and continue today. Below is one story from one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
survivors <strong>of</strong> an Islamic terrorist attack. The Muslim terrorists are not responsible for all the deaths; the
