About Radical Islam

by Charles A. Morse

Islamic extremists believe that they are commanded by Allah to subdue and kill non-Muslims as a means of achieving world hegemony under Islam. There is no question that the Islamic faith contains seeds of terrorism and sanctions terrorism as a means toward this end. While I am by no means suggesting that all Muslims are strict practitioners of Jihad, or religious war against non-Muslims, this aspect of Islam is what motivates the violence that is being visited upon this country and the non-Islamic world. Islam views the world as divided between the "Dar es Salaam" or the House of Peace, which is Islamic, and the "Dar el-Harb" or the House of War, which is non-Islamic. World peace, according to Islam, is achieved only when the world is subjected to the "Dar es Salaam." In this regard, Islam is no different than utopian Communism and Nazism.

The past 30 years have seen fanatically religious Islamic regimes develop in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen and elsewhere. These regimes are committed to Jihad against the non-Islamic world and, in planning religiously motivated military action, they devote much of their resources to obtaining conventional as well as nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. They are radicalizing Islamic populations with extremist religious propaganda and drawing recruits for acts of terror against either moderate Islamic or non-Islamic nations.

A non-Islamic nation who either has an Islamic minority or who share a border with an Islamic nation is susceptible to Jihad. The Islamic Kosovars are attacking Christian Serbia and Macedonia. Islamic Chechnya and Islamic minorities confront Russia and threaten the Chinese province of Sinkiang. They have seized much of the southern Philippine island of Mindanao. In moderately Islamic Indonesia they are killing non-Muslims and burning non-Muslim places of worship. They are terrorizing India and parts of sub Saharan Africa. The Sudan, controlled by Islamic extremists, is butchering millions of Christians and animists in their southern sector. Israel and Christian Lebanon are in a war against Islamic extremists who have targeted them for destruction.

Following is a verse from the Quran that instructs Muslims to attack and kill non-Muslims:

"When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters (non-Muslims) wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent (convert) and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way. God is forgiving and merciful."Sura 9:5

Following is a verse from the Quran that instructs the Muslim regarding how to view the non-Muslim:

"Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. God does not guide the wrongdoers."
Recent writings by Muslims justifying terrorism include "The Quranic Concept of War" by Pakistani Brigadier S.K.Malik where he writes:

"But in Islam war is waged to establish supremacy of the Lord only when every other argument has failed to convince those who reject His Will and work against the every purpose of the creation of mankind it thus becomes necessary to remove the cancerous malformation even if it be by surgical means, in order to save the rest of humanity"
Islamic extremists have penetrated our nation in a Holocaust of fire and death. Holocaust is an apt description because, like the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews, the Islamic extremists believe they are fulfilling G-ds command when they kill non-Muslims. America is not opposed to Islam and couldn't care less if a nation practices Islam as a state religion. If the Islamic nation, however, practices Jihad against its non-Islamic neighbor who seeks to live in peace, which is the case today, they are declaring and conducting a war of annihilation. Like the Nazis before them, they must be met on the battlefield with as much force as we; the nations of the "Dar el-Harb," the non-Islamic and moderately Islamic world can muster.
