Islam: Religion of peace.	Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455: Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: I heard the Apostle of Allah, (peace_be_upon_him) say: When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.

An Absolute Must Read!

Mary Wakefield interviews Ayaan Hirsi Ali about Islam and  The Spectator has the guts to publish it. No boring detail in this excellent interview, just the bottom line conclusions vital to the survival of western civilization.
We Are At War with All Of Islam. When I read the article, five readers had commented on it; all of them were informed and coherent.

Click the link, read the excellent interview and spread the word as widely as possible. I have submitted it to Real Clear Politics, your vote will help to spread the word.

Islam: Religion of peace.	Abu Dawud Book 19, Number 2996: Narrated Muhayyisah: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: If you gain a victory over the men of Jews, kill them. So Muhayyisah jumped over Shubaybah, a man of the Jewish merchants. He had close relations with them. He then killed him. At that time Huwayyisah (brother of Muhayyisah) had not embraced Islam. He was older than Muhayyisah. When he killed him, Huwayyisah beat him and said: O enemy of Allah, I swear by Allah, you have a good deal of fat in your belly from his property.

My armament is composed of information; no swords, spears, mangonels, aircraft nor bombs.

I have made the Qur’an, Hadith & Tafsir available to researchers, in searchable form, so that a single search can return matches from all six documents. I have also provided a URL generator utility for creating links to quoted materials in those documents.

Islam mandates imperialism. That is a fact, not a baseless assertion.

8:39 And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.

That is the Hilali & Khan translation, published by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, here:

8:39 is dependent on the previous ayeh for the object: Pagans.

9:29 Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. http://www.qurancomplex.com/Quran/Targama/Targama.asp?nSora= 9&l=eng&nAya= 29# 9_ 29

Here are the hadith which confirm those commands:

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah.” Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, “O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?” He replied, “Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’, faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have.”

Muslim Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

Abu Dawud Book 14, Number 2497:
Narrated AbuUmamah:
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”.

8:67 tells Moe that making a great slaughter is his ticket to Paradise, a prerequisite for ransoming prisoners of war for profit. Read it and weep.

8:67 It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

Here is the confirming hadith:

Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390:
Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi:
I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.

At http://www.quranbrowser.com you can view 9 translations in parallel. It is easy to see that the words vary slightly, but the meanings do not.

Before calling me a liar, read this:
http://www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/hadeeth/riyad/11/chap234.htm

Of course you need confirmation,so go here: http://www.nku.edu/~kenneyr/Islam/Reliance.html
and use the Ctrl F Windows search to find @O9.8: “The Objectives of Jihad”, without the quote marks. That is Islamic law, and it quotes the ayat which serves as its basis.

Search until Hell freezes over, you won’t find anything equivalent to 8:39, 8:12, 8:67 & 9:29 in the Gospels or Acts. Christ neither commanded nor exemplified such evil. Moe did both.

Christ’s mission was beneficent;a plan of salvation. Moe’s mission was mercenary, his own emolument.

8:1 They ask you (O Muhammad) about the spoils of war. Say: “The spoils are for Allâh and the Messenger.” So fear Allâh and adjust all matters of difference among you, and obey Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad), if you are believers.

8:41 And know that whatever of war-booty that you may gain, verily one-fifth (1/5th) of it is assigned to Allâh, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives [of the Messenger (Muhammad)], (and also) the orphans, Al-Masâkin (the poor) and the wayfarer, if you have believed in Allâh and in that which We sent down to Our slave (Muhammad) on the Day of criterion (between right and wrong), the Day when the two forces met (the battle of Badr) – And Allâh is Able to do all things.

33:26-27 And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allâh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives. And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allâh is Able to do all things.

Muslim Book 019, Number 4327:
The spoils of war were not made lawful for any people before us, This is because Allah saw our weakness and humility and made them lawful for us.

There is the evidence, right out of Islam’s own canon of scripture and tradition.  You can’t refute it. You can’t disprove it. Moe’s words and actions form a congruent pattern.  What he did matches what he said. Thats what Islam is; what Islam does.

I have compiled that information from the Qur’an & Hadith, with links to source and relevant topics from Ibn Kathir’s Tafsir into a Windows Help file and made it freely available to other bloggers.

Sad came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Allah’s Apostle said (to the Ansar), “Stand up for your leader.” Then Sad came and sat beside Allah’s Apostle who said to him. “These people are ready to accept your judgment.” Sad said, “I give the judgment that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners.” The Prophet then remarked, “O Sad! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of the King Allah.”
