HISTORY ISLAM AND MUHAMMAD | IS ISLAM A RELIGION OF VIOLENCE?



            The Arabian Peninsula was originally the home of nomadic peoples who coped with the desert climate by migrating every season when some began to establish settlements around the fifth century Bc, many chose Mecca, near the West  coast of Saudi Arabia, as their home. It did not offer a favourable climate or many natural resources, but it was the site of the K’aba, a large cubical shrine dedicated to various deities.
            The religion of Arah world before the advent of Islam was an animistic polytheism. The desert was populated with fiery spirits called Jinn. Numerous gods were worshipped, with most towns having their own patron god. Mecca soon became the religious centre, with 360 shrines, one of each day in the lunar year. Local merchants depended heavily on pilgrim to these shrines for their livelihood, a fact which would become significant for Muhammad.
            Allah
            Even among the innumerable deities of Arabian polytheism was a god who was more impressive than the rest. Allah (Arabic for “the god”) was “the creator, provider and determiner of human destiny”, and ‘he was capable of inspiring authentic religious feeling and genuine  devotion”. Generally, Allah was regarded as the greatest among the many gods deserving worship, but one contemplative sect, the hanifs , worshiped Allah exclusively. It was into this world of sporadic monotheism and rampant immorality that Islam was born.
MUHAMMAD            
            Arab polytheism was focused entirely on the earthly life, and religion was not a source of morality. By Muhammad’s time, blood feuds, violence, and general immorality abounded. Yet monotheism was not unheard of among the Arabs. There was contact with Zoroastrianism, which was the official state religion of Persia from the 3rd century BC to the 8th century AD and influential on its neighbours. It was a dualistic religion with beliefs an heaven, hell and a final judgment. In additional both Judaism and Christianity had established a presence on the Arabian peninsula especially in the south. In Yathrib (later named medina), the Jewish population was especially influential.
            Islam is a concept that was derived from the Arabic word “Salam” meaning peace, hence the saying that Islam is a religion of peace. Islam means total submission to the will of God (Allah).
            Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdullah is the foundation of religion of Islam and is regarded as Muslims as a messenger and prophet of God, the last and greatest law bearer in a series of prophets. Muslims consider him the restorer of the uncorrupted original monotheistic faith (Islam) of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other prophets. He was also active as a diploma, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, reformer, military, general and according to Muslim belief an agent of divine action.
            Muhammad was born in 570 AD in the Arabian city of Mecca, he was orphaned at a young age and brought up under the care of his uncle Abu Talib and his grand parents during which he took part in several trading expenditure. When his uncle died, he worked as a merchant, well as shepherds and married at the age of 25yeas, he married Khadija who was 15years older than him and then managed her business. During his journey to Syria, he came in contact with Christianity and Judaism and began to compare these religion with primitive pagan beliefs of the Arabs who worshipped idols, most notably the black stone of the ka’aba,.
            When Mohammad was about 40years he began to see his vision as a prophet and a preacher and a teacher, the then into a complete retirement, spending his time in prayer, lasting and meditation, the said he had a vision or revelation that Angel Gabriel appeared to him and he has been called upon by God to regenerate his people by a new religious. The religion called Islam which means total submission to God. At first the people of Mecca were hostile to Muhammad and his teaching. Muhammad said that God said he is the least and least prophet.
            In 622AD, he fled to medina where large crowd of followers soon gathered around him, when he felt sufficient strong he invaded Mecca and military sway.
            Mohammed’s Islamic teachings consist briefly of belief in one supreme God and on Mohammed’s as his prophet, the existence of angles, life after death, heaven and hell and in predestination. This is a belief history of Islam.

            ISLAM AS A RELIGION OF VIOLENCE                             
            Islam is said to be a peaceful religion, but I doubt if its true because Islam has always been on the offensive side against non-Muslims, but it has been said generally that Islamic is a religion of peace. I would like to argue that though is a religion in its own right positively some of its teaching. But its adherent contradicts of its claim of being a religion of peace by its violent destruction of lives and property.
            Mohammad posed as an apostle of God, yet his life is filled with lustfulness (12 marriages sex with a child salves and concubines), rapes, warfare, conquest, and unmerciful butchenes. The infinitely good, just and all holy God simply cannot tolerate anything in the least unjust or sinful.
            Just a look at Mohammad Qur’an (Koran) should be enough to warn you to keep your distance form Islam) in it you will see such evil as statements like these:-
Ø  Loves those who fight
Ø  Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.
Ø  Chop off their hands and chop off their fingertips
Ø  When you meet the unbelievers chop off their heads
Ø  Fight and slay those who don’t convert wherever you find them
Ø  Believers, take neither Jew nor Christians for your friends.
Ø  Those who reject Islam are ‘the vilest of creatures” and thus deserve no mercy, fight them until Islam reigns supreme (throughout the world). There are more than 100 verses in the Koran advocating the use of violence to spread Islam. There are exactly 123 verses in the Qur’an about killing and fighting.
            The world “Islam” has been falsely proclaimed by Muslims to mean peace. The world Islam actually means “submission” to the Muslim god of intolerance and hatred. It comes from the root Arabic word “taslim”. In Arabic the word for peace is only “Solh”. Islam can deceive you, it can fool and it rejects the salvation Jesus has made possible. Islam spreads the lie that Jesus never even died on the cross, that alone makes it demonic, off all the holy book sin the world, satan has taken pains to ensure that Muhammad and his Qur’ran (Keran) defiantly stand in diametrical opposition to Jesus, the son of God, the true Prince of Peace and his new testament. The immortal souls of billions of individuals are involved here. To good Muslims I say, “I have sympathy with your having to grow up in a closed society … where not embracing Islam would have gotten you shunned or even killed”.
            According to interpretation of the Qur’an, conversion to faith other than Islam is punishable by death, Islam maintains a choke hold on its followers. This sorrowful situation most Muslims are born into should arouse compassion and not scora, from the followers of Christ. Jesus never said true prophets would appear on the last days. Rather, He said false prophets would arise who would deceive.
            However, when a Muslim declares that Islam is a religion of peace, he or she is either ignorant of the Koran, or is deceitfully thinking of his “peace” as it extends only to those within the Muslim community. The deceit is that they will not tell you exactly what they mean. According to the Qur’an Muhammad is the apostle of Allah, those who follow him are merciful to one another, but ruthless to unbeliever of Islam” Surah 48;29 says “kill the Mushrikun (unbeliever) wherever you find them and capture them, and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush …” Surah 9:5 and also Surah 9:29 “fight against those who have been given the scripture (Christians and Jewish) as believe not in Allah hath forbidden by his messenger, and follow not the religion of truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought how”. And to this, there is not a single verse in the entire Christian bile that contains this “open-ended”, universal command to kill or be ruthless to unbelievers.       Muhammad led 27 military campaigns against innocent villages and caravans and planned 38 other and he said “I am the prophet that laughs when killing my enemies (Christians & Jews), such as religion can not be a religion of peace. The god of Muslim is revealed as a tyrant who demands Muslims and all other submit to him. Where as in the new testament, Jesus revealed to Christians a God who is a loving father, who wants us to come to him freely. In the old testament (Exodus 34:6) the real God reveled himself as “merciful and gracious, long suffering and abundant in goodness and truth”. He is the creator of the universe, the God of love, and Lord of life. The God of Israel is this true God, He insist “Thou shall not kill the innocent and just.
            Also, most Muslims do not realize that Islam allows no freedom. This alone should make them realize that it is the satan behind Islam, and not an eternal God. Satan wishes only to enslave Muslims to help him enslave the entire world. “Islam” means “peace” are lying to yo. A Muslim is not allowed to leave Islam or else risk his or her life. A birth, a person is branded either Muslim or non- Muslim depending on one’s descent. The religion of Islam is a brain-washing religion and that is why so many Muslims turn into crazy mindless zombies. They are repaired to pray 5 times a day in Arabic to God who is not there, from the moment they embrace Islam, and when they do so they touch their hands to the floor. That is one reason they get so brain washed, this respective prayer. You can often spot fanatical Muslims by the marks on their foreheads resulting from this repetitive touching their head to the floor, where they may whack their head if they really get into it, and during this prayer period they perform their rituals.
            Furthermore, Islam is a religion of violence in the sense that most of the terrorist group we have in the world today are formed or are introduced by Islam and are well known. Islam has bombed and destroyed many buildings, planes and vehicles. Additionally, during the last 20 years, Islamic groups have targeted and murdered the world, in Kenya, Nigeria, Indonesia, Iran, France, South America and America etc. Islamist group are the ones responsible for attacks and they have murdered those they felt were a threat to their aims. No one especially Christians have  been spared by these treacherous people.
            This Islamic religion so they call themselves use or threaten people by use of violence by persons or an organized group against group or property with the intention of intimidating societies or governments often for ideological or political reasons. In northern Nigeria, where a radical Islamist group has launched a string of attacks on Christians especially when Christians are celebrating Christ like on Christmas day church bombing in the capital of Abuja that killed 43 people. We find it pertinent to state that solders will kill the innocent ones among them in the Local Government Areas where the state of emergency was declared. This was their statement “we would confront the squarely to protect our brothers, we would also wish to call on our fellow Islamist to come back to the North because we have evidence that they would be attacked. We are also giving a three day ultimation to the southerners living in the North to move away” Abdul Quga was guoted as saying by the Nigerian new paper. “This Day” if truly Islam was a religion of peace they would not have the mind for all this, but it’s because it’s a religion of violence that is why they have the mind to do this.
            Additionally, Islamic religious groups in Northern Nigeria gave Christians living in the Northern parts of Nigeria to flee on May 132, 2013, Rabbi Nathan lopes Cardo 20 why giving the document that would permanently change the world only in desolation by Scolt Baldauf?  
            Five bombs exploded on Christmas day at churches in Nigeria one killing at least 27 people raising fear that Islamic group which claimed responsibility is trying to ignite the latest in string of violence. The main goal of Islam is to convert the entire world and submit all mankind to the faith of Islam, Islam will fight and destroy in order to achieve their goal and its to make world wide state sanctioned religion by criticism regimenting all aspect of life based on Islamic teaching, they say Islam is the only true religion all other religion are false and an insult to Allah which is not true if they truly as the everlasting king. Islam is the only religion that openly and actively believes in the elimination of all other religion by killing non-believers of Islam and force conversion or enslavement to the Muslims as being the acceptable solutions to other religion and that in the end all that is allowed is Islam forgetting that most of the doctrine which they practice today was borrowed from those other religion which they want to banish. However, with all these which Islam does I strongly believe it’s a religion of violence, though Muhammad meant have meant peace by the name but he definitely do not mena so by his action because he slaughtered many people in the name of spreading Islam with observable facts that Islam is fileld with violence in the life of Muhammad himself and the Quran itself.
            Finally, almost all the Islamist group or terrorist groups are owned by Islam, and some of the Islamist group are the shabab in Somalia, the Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreh, Boko haram and the Abu-Sayy of terrorist group, all these group where organized by Islam and these groups organization has been linked to different violence acts like bombing, assassination, kidnapping for ransom and extortion, so I think if you really follow my points with all which Islam that claims to be a religion of peace.
            On 16th April 2014, the Boko Haram who are also Islamist group kidnapped 150 student in Boronu State to prove that Islam is a violent religion has done or is doing more harm to our society, you will agree with me that Islam is a religion of violence because I strongly believe that Islam is a religion of violence.
