Story of Mohammed Islam Unveiled

Author’s Comments:
It is a core belief of Islam that the Koran is the perfect word of God. The Koran instructs Muslims
very clearly, not to take non-Muslims as their friends. They may be friendly towards Kaffirs,
particularly in order to gain an advantage for Islam. However, the extent to which a Muslim is a
true friend of a Kaffir is the extent to which he is not a Muslim.
When you are trying to motivate a group of people to commit violent acts against another group,
it is important to break ties between them. Any military commander would understand this
concept.
During the first Christmas of WW1, the English and German soldiers came out of the trenches,
sang carols and shared cigarettes and food. The powers that be, made sure that this never happened
again. To motivate people to violence; it is important to demonize and de-humanize your
opponents, and Mohammed did this constantly. He never referred to human beings as a whole but
divided the world into Muslims and Kaffirs. Kaffirs are described as the worst kind of creature in
every way and any act against a Kaffir is justified.
The Sira goes on to describe how Mohammed at this time, encouraged his followers to
assassinate his enemies and critics, particularly Jews. He allowed, and even encouraged, them to
use deceit in order to achieve their aims; often gaining their trust in order to murder them.
From The Sira:
I554 The Apostle of Allah said, “Kill any Jew who falls into your power.” Hearing this, Muhayyisa
fell upon a Jewish merchant who was a business associate and killed him. Muhayyisa’s brother
was not a Muslim and asked how Muhayyisa could kill a man who had been his friend and partner
in many business deals. The Muslim said that if Mohammed had asked him to kill his brother he
would have done it immediately. His brother said “You mean that if Mohammed said to cut off my
head you would do it?” “Yes,” was the reply. The older brother then said, “By Allah, any religion
that brings you to this is marvellous.” And he decided then and there to become a Muslim.
It is surprising what most people are capable of. In experiment after experiment, psychologists
have found that when a group deems behaviour to be acceptable, the vast majority will go along
with things which “civilized” people might consider “inhuman”.
How many Japanese people would think twice before eating whale? How many Vietnamese
people would think it wrong to kill and eat a dog? In the early nineties half a million Rwandans
were brutally hacked to death with machetes by their compatriots. In the forties six million Jews
were wiped out in Europe, mostly by ordinary German folk. Closer to home, in my grandmothers
day, children of five or six were being sent up chimneys to clean them, many would never return.
To a modern Western mind these things are abhorrent, and yet people just like us are quite
capable of doing them. Religions especially have a powerful influence on societies. When people
believe they have authority from a divine ruler, they are capable of overriding normal human
feelings of revulsion. When “everyone else is doing it too,” it becomes easy to justify even the
most extreme behaviour.
Mohammed was not just a religious leader. The acts which he carried out from here until his
death are almost all of a political nature. Through Jihad, he became king of all Arabia within just
nine years.
Islam is not just a religion. It contains a huge political component in the same way as communism
or fascism. Such ideologies are very dangerous because it is possible for a small but fanatical
group which numbers little more than 5% of the population to seize power with devastating
consequences. Once they have power it is often impossible to prize it from them without outside
assistance.
