Islam Threatens Muslims Who Do Not Partake of "Jihad"

Submitted by Mike Ramirez (United States), Jul 8, 2005 at 18:25

The religious threat that "Allah" would be displeased if any Muslim did not partake of "jihad," in battle or in support of jihadists, was used successfully by the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.

This fear of Not Pleasing Allah is what Islamic clerics use today to fuel the mindset of terror organizations. Here is one example of what Muslims have been indoctrinated to believe:

"The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: 'He who does not join the warlike expedition (jihad), or equip, or looks well after a warrior's family when he is away, will be smitten by Allah with a sudden calamity. Yazid ibn Abdu Rabbihi said in his tradition: 'before the Day of Resurrection'".
(Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 14, Number 2497)

Additionally, the fundamental Islamic ideology expects all Muslims to wage jihad in one form or another against Jews, Christians, Atheists, and all non-Muslim societies.

Muslims, presently living in Western societies, who wish to be "Moderate" or "Peaceful" are seen as apostates (traitors to Islam) and under Islamic rule can be persecuted and/or killed for "siding" with the enemy. This is what Al Qaeda believes in order to justify killing other Muslims in the process of suicide bombings.

As long as this mindset prevails within the modern day Islamic socities, this world will need to contend with the ongoing threat of terror.

For more information about how terror organizations sincerely believe they are doing the "Will of God" and are willing to fight Western societies until the end of the world, see the research at:
