The plagiarism and distortion of Christianity

Regardless if you believe in God or not, the recent attempt by a film from Iran to portray Jesus as only a Prophet and not the Son of God, is the latest effort by Islam to usurp Christianity. This film will not disturb agnostics or atheists. But two billion Christians will be concerned and the one billion or more Muslims will be delighted. The film "Jesus, the Spirit of God," by a Shia Muslim, won an award at the 2007 Religion Today Film Festival, in Italy. If this was a movie about Muhammad, there would be rioting in the streets and calls for the death of the people responsible for the film. In addition, according to many followers of Islam, images of the Prophets and Muhammad are not to be displayed. Yet, in this movie, Jesus who is also a Muslim Prophet is displayed throughout the movie. It appears at first to follow the gospels but portrays Jesus as a mortal man, sent by God, as a prophet and who did not die on the cross. So the movie is an out right distortion of Christianity if you believe in the gospels of the New Testament. Passages in the Koran appear to be plagiarisms and distortions of both the Old and New testaments. The Qur’an’s version about Isaac, Ishmael and Abraham is an endeavor to rewrite biblical history and set the foundation for the Prophet Muhammad.

So like a quantum event in Science with infinite possibilities, this new reality was manifested in the seventh century, and all previous happenings in History did not take place. If a person is an agnostic then distorted biblical history is not a concern. But if a large group of people (one billion Muslims) believe in a religious dogma, that belief can be used to unite the masses and literally affect every other human being on the face of the earth. This distorted message in the movie about Jesus is also found in the original teachings of the Koran and is followed by both Sunni and Shia Muslims. Muhammad and his followers needed a religion to unite the tribes of Saudi Arabia so he plagiarized and distorted Christianity and Judaism to give it legitimacy. In his religion he is the last of the prophets. By doing this, he made Christianity and Judaism obsolete. From the onset of Islam, the message has been, that Muhammad is the last of the Prophets and his rendition of the true religion, is to be followed by Jews, Christians and other nonbelievers. The message of the movie, “there is a common bridge between Christianity and Islam”, appears to seek reconciliation but is the ongoing endeavor to replace Christianity with Islam. It is the latest effort by Muslims to convert nonbelievers to Islam.

In the Koran, its primary purpose is the submission of the mind, body, soul of all of mankind. The sole purpose of Islam is to dominate the world. The means of this transformation is by conquest, Jihad, immigration, colonialization, birth rate and indoctrination of the masses by the Imams. The teachings of Muhammad and the Qur’an, teach that Islam is the religion of submission and peace. But the word “peace” really means submission or surrender of the world, to Sharia Law (The law system inspired by the Koran and the Sunna). The word “tolerance” means third-class citizenship, for the people of the book (corrupted Jews and Christians) who are also known as apes and pigs. This demeaning name-calling is found in religious, educational and public dialogue, today throughout the Arab world. In the Islamic world, nonbelievers are Dhimmis and Muslims are not able to convert to other religions under the threat of death. The term “Dhimma” is used for non-Islamic people. So to Muslims, nonbelievers are Dhimmis, third-class citizens who are subject to Sharia Law (the blade is kept sharpened). The Imams, in Islamic schools called madrasi, indoctrinate Muslim youth in this perverted view of reality. Moderate and radical Muslims view the journey to this transformation differently, but in the end the results are the same.

Islam is the most dangerous mind controlling dogma the world is facing today or ever has confronted. Politics and conquest have been removed from Christianity. Christianity no longer uses the sword to convert nonbelievers. Islam on the other hand, is based on conquest and submission. Islam has not adapted to the modern world. It is not a pure religion but a political dogma intertwined with religion. It enforces Sharia Law with the teachings of the Qur’an (Koran). There is no separation of religion and government. You cannot be a devout traditional Muslim without obeying Sharia Law. In this changing world of today, which is becoming more secular, is creating a vacuum that will be filled by Islam.

Jihad

The followers of Islam point to the Crusades as their catalyst for defending their faith (Jihad). Much of the world has been under the threat of Jihad for over fourteen hundred years. In the sixth and seventh centuries, Europe made the final transformation from Roman Empire domination to the spreading of Christianity across the rest of Europe. The Western Roman Empire was reduced to the remaining Byzantine Eastern Roman Empire (Constantinople), modern day Istanbul Turkey. Muhammad, the founder of Islam was born in the sixth century. As Christianity was taking hold in Europe, Islam started its encroachment into Europe. For over 800 years Islam occupied many parts of Europe. In the eighth century, Moorish Muslims swept into the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). In Spain, Islam was finally repulsed in the fifteenth century. It was only in 1683, the final siege of Vienna, that spelled the decline of the Turkish Ottoman (Muslim) Empire in Europe. The West has nothing to apologize for, when it comes to Islam and the Crusades. The Muslims had captured Jerusalem in 1076. If the Muslims had not occupied the Christian Holy Lands, there would have never been any Crusades. The Crusades lasted from 1099 to 1291. The Muslims have used Jihad as an excuse for world domination since its inception. Islam preaches peace but rules by the sword. Christianity once ruled by the sword, but that day has passed. Islam has not nor will it ever give up the sword.

One percent of one billion is ten million. Ten million radicalized Muslims. But from where do they recruit those ten million zealots. They are recruited from all walks of Islam. A large number are enlisted from the oppressed. But a number are also recruited from the middle classes. So if 10 out of 1000 (100 out of 10,000) are Jihadists, how many of the other Muslims are sympatric or would offer support? So 1,000 out of 100,000 or 10,000 out of 1,000,000 or about fifty thousand or more potential Jihadists here in the United States? If Israel were to disappear tomorrow, the zealots would not stop. As long as there are nonbelievers there will be zealots. Until the world is converted to Islam, there will be Islamic zealots. Only when the world is an Islamic state, an Islamic state that follows the beliefs of the Jihadist, will there be peace. Islam means peace but only when we are all under the sword of Muhammad. Like a festering sore that never completely goes away, radical Islam will always be just behind the curtains of the stage, ready to replace the Fat Lady.

Sayyid Qutb an Egyptian is best known in the Muslim world. He wrote Ma'alim fi al-Tariq (1964) a call to action, to re-create a Qur’anic Muslim world. It is believed that his book is a manifesto used by the Jihadists. Sayyid Qutb came to the United States four years after WWII (1949) and studied at a small college in a northern Colorado. At the time, he was exposed to what would be considered a conservative life style (where alcohol was illegal), by today’s standards. Yet he was repulsed by the decadent ways of the West. So he went back to Egypt and wrote his manifesto, a foundation for today’s al Qaeda and other radical Islamic movements. To summarize, it is our non-Muslim lifestyle that is the justification for Islamic Jihadist world domination.
