islamic-jihad-legacy-of-forced-conversion-imperialism-slavery

Chapter VIIIThe Last WordThis book has clearly demonstrated that the doctrine of Jihad as revealed by Allah in the Quran calls forforced conversion, particularly of idolaters, for establishing an imperial rule on a global scale with an integralpurpose of economic exploitation of non-Muslim subjects and for engaging in slavery, including slave-tradeand sex-slavery. These divine commands of Allah were meticulously acted upon by the Prophet of Islam.With sword, he forcibly converted the Polytheists of Arabia to Islam, created the first imperial state in Arabiaby expelling and slaughtering the unyielding Jews en masse and enslaved the women and children of Jewishand Polytheist tribes in large numbers. Prophet Muhammad and his comrades kept the young beautifulwomen as sex-slaves and concubines; he also sold some of the enslaved women. The Muslim caliphs andsultans, thereafter, embraced and expanded these ideal models of prophetic actions, creating an Islamdom ofvast expanse.All commands of the Quran, including for Jihad, must stand for all times. Therefore, the Islamicinstitutions of forced conversion, imperialism and slavery—if Allah’s commands are to be obeyed—mustpersist for eternity. As for forced conversion, it must continue until such times that there remain no moreinfidels to be converted. However, even if all peoples of the earth are converted to Islam, some rebelliousMuslims will always turn infidels through apostasy. Therefore, technically the Islamic institution of forcedconversion would not cease until the end of the world. As to the institution of slavery, it cannot cease to existeither, even if the whole world converts to Islam. Those who leave Islam through apostasy will always belegitimate target for slaughter or enslavement. Additionally, Islamic law stipulates that, those infidels,converted to Islam after their capture in the battle-field, would remain slaves. The offspring of slaves will beslaves. Thus, slavery, the divine institution of Allah, would remain an integral part of humanity through theages. Regarding Islamic imperialism, the perpetuation of a global Islamic rule for eternity is the ultimate goalof Allah.Allah’s command of Jihad—embraced by a lone person, Prophet Muhammad—has indeed achievedstunning success in the course of the last fourteen centuries. Prophet Muhammad and his successors convertedtens of millions of infidels to Islam at the pain of death, through enslavement as well as by coercing them toembrace Islam by subjecting to severe economic exploitation. Muslims now constitute a staggering 1.4billion, greater than 20 percent, of the world population. It has been made abundantly clear that Muslims havepractised the institution of slavery—slave-trade and sex-slavery included—on a grand scale well into thetwentieth century. And of course, Islamic imperialism, established in the Middle East, Central Asia, NorthAfrica, Bangladesh and Pakistan amongst other places since the early times of Islam, would remain underperpetual Islamic rule.269
