Exposing the Truth of Islam
How Islam plans world domination and the tools they use
In the early days after the 1st century, the reality of Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind and the devastating effect His life had on Satan and his dominion by exposing the darkness of his powers of evil forced the Prince of Darkness to begin a ruthless campaign against the new Christian movement. He had to make attempts to destroy the new testimony of Jesus and corrupt the records of the account of the life of Jesus so that mankind would remain within his domain in a state of sin and not become sinless through his adversary, Jesus Christ and receive Divine Salvation
He knew men could be misled and deceived by merely taking the truth of that reality and make small changes which, to the average man because of his willingness to remain ignorant, would not be detected, for Satan is indeed known as the Master of Deception. In the years following the New Testament period, he knew education was rare and even more so was the ability to read the Scriptures which had only been made available to a select few; but people were being evangelized by word of mouth, being won over to the Christian teachings. These evangelical actions were doing no less than infuriating Satan.
He made the decision to devise a new belief based upon the teachings of the Jewish community as well as the newly arisen Christian movement. He had to create "scripture" which sounded believable and actually used as much of the truth as possible without making it absolute truth. After all, being God’s greatest creation prior to the creation of man, he knew the power of God and he knew Jesus as His empowered Son and he was most familiar with Old Testament Scripture and all the prophecies as well as anyone and he knew the teachings of the New Testament in the same manner.
His ultimate goal, the imperative conclusion of his new "belief" to be developed, was to completely discredit Jesus and confound and confuse men to a degree that the concept of Jesus’ Deity and His being mankind’s Path to Righteousness and Salvation would seem utterly ridiculous. But, he also knew he could not deny the reality of the person of Jesus knowing Him to truly be the Son of God, for He had performed miracles beyond anything he himself could do. He would have to make Jesus "real," but not the Son of God and certainly not the third member of the Holy Trinity.
He knew he would also have to discredit and compromise the fact of the Holy Spirit as being the One Who enables men to become believers; he must make them believe they, themselves, were in control of their own destiny. He would have to make his "religion" seem to say all the right things, but with enough twist in it to be only half-truth.
He would teach prayer is absolutely necessary for salvation, but to his version of the Creator. He would teach certain social activities are absolutely necessary for salvation, but he must insure such activities are only for those who follow his teachings. He would tell them of the resurrection of the body and also the punishment to those who refused his teachings as well as the rewards to those who remained faithful, but with promises of an existence which would overwhelm his followers; promises far beyond anything they could experience or afford in this life. He must convince his followers all other beliefs and faiths are corrupted and existed only to corrupt the true beliefs of his followers. Therefore, they must separate themselves and maintain a remote existence from these other religions until this new faith grew strong and until the others chose to convert or perish, either of which would please him greatly. He knew the teachings of the Jewish community had greatly influenced the early church and he knew their belief in performing works in attempting complete and total obedience to God’s rules could never achieve salvation for them as they had practiced for centuries. He had already managed over time to help them corrupt their beliefs of what was God’s original will for them and, for the most part, gave support to their disregarding the prophecies given them through men sent of God. If he had done it once, he could do it again.
His plan was set and all he had to do was to institute it, to provide the spark to ignite the new fire of his "religion." He had to find someone who could be led, who could be tricked into following his teaching, and who was just ignorant enough of the Truth to allow himself to become corrupted and begin being his hand-picked emissary. He had found his man in the person of Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim in a small cave outside the city of Mecca in the year 610 AD.
Today, looking back over the centuries since the death of Jesus, we can see the various changes made in the Church He established through His teachings and through the efforts of His apostles, as well as those who followed after them. Dozens upon dozens of beliefs have arisen, all supposedly based upon the assembled manuscripts of the early Church, many of which had already been augmented twisted and corrupt by the third century. Satan had attempted to influence the fledgling Church by choosing those who would take those manuscripts available at the time and write a new version which would sound believable and appear to be authentic. To a point, this worked well to his advantage, but it still was not enough.
When Satan chose Muhammad to be his apostle, it was a time in which the Arab nations were constantly at war with each other and no central leadership existed. Having received many visions, Muhammad began to gather men of various tribes together through his message of unity and fellowship under one god known as Allah. The many pagan Arab nations then believed in as many gods as there were tribes making up the nations. To have a man begin to speak of the existence of only one god was truly remarkable. Allah was known, but was considered one of the major deities over many more lesser ones. This man, Muhammad, spoke as though Allah was alone is his power and was the one true god.
Having been thrown out of his hometown of Mecca for preaching his prophetic inspirations, he began to travel to other places with his clan of followers. It took him until 622 AD to gain recognition and a successful position among many tribes of the region of Medina, marking the traditional beginning of the Islamic Era, the first day of the Arabic lunar year known to the West as July 16, 622 AD.
From this point on, Muhammad became even more powerful, harassing and terrorizing every village, town, and city. He offered sanctity and safety to any who would follow him or a horrible painful death, beheading of those who refused. On March 15, 624, Muhammad was successful in defeating the armies of Mecca thereby solidifying his position as Prophet of Allah and his representative on earth. He continued to conquer all of Arabia until his death on June 8, 632. Muhammad’s position of Caliph was replaced by his father-in-law, Abu Bakr who continued spreading the words of Muhammad and the religion known as Islam while the spread of Christianity prospered with equal success.
Today, the Islamic population exceeds 1.3 billion people worldwide of which only 15% are Arab. It is the fastest growing religion in the world with followers in almost all countries. It is interesting to note their favorite group to seek converts are the Baptists. Satan has done his job well in taking 1 out of every 5 people and helping them choose to become members in his chosen faith. However, he knows his job is not done and he must not rest in continuing to counter the faith of Christians and Jews around the world. He knows the Bible’s prophecies of the return of Jesus as the conqueror of evil and the final Judge of mankind. He knows he needs to produce his own version of "savior" which people can accept but which is only false. The more he can make believe in his man, the more he can keep from the Kingdom of Heaven.
His best bet would be to expand upon his work to date in influencing the many followers of Islam in believing their own savior will return as conqueror over the evil infidels who have refused the Islamic teachings. Using the Bible as a guide, Satan put together his own list of characters to counter those prophesied in both the Old and New Testaments who would become a part of the end-time of mankind.
The Islamic tradition looks forward to the coming of their Savior/Messiah, called the Mahdi (the Guided One) who will arrive in the last days to lead Islam in its fight against those who have yet to accept Islam as their religion. The Mahdi will be born in a direct line of descendants from Muhammad and will bear the name of Muhammad bin Abdullah. He will become the worldwide Imam (spiritual leader), the Caliph of Islam, providing its spiritual, political and military leadership. Under his guidance, his accomplishments will include the invasion of many countries and will achieve the total destruction of the nation of Israel, thereby establishing justice and righteousness throughout the world by having eradicated tyranny and oppression. His rule over the world will be in Jerusalem from which he will rule over the one-world religion of Islam for a period of seven years. He will have established a covenant with Israel during which he will allow the restoration of the temple of Solomon and its priestly practices.
The arrival of the Mahdi will be soon followed by another known as Jesus (Hadhrat Isa), the son of Mary, a devout Muslim, who will serve as subordinate to him and will be the Mahdi’s personal promoter as well as the leader of the religious world and will broker the seven-year treaty with the Jews. This Jesus is not to be confused with the Dajjal (impostor/deceiver) which is the anti-Christ of the Muslim believers who will arrive at a later date. The Jesus of Islam will serve as the primary leader of the Muslim population in areas of faith and law. He will become an evangelist, overseeing the conversion of many throughout the world and the destruction (beheading) of those who do not convert. This Jesus will outlaw Christianity and abolish the practice of the jizyah, the tax on unbelievers of Islam which allowed them to live safely among the Muslims. The Islamic Sharia law will be instituted as the worldwide source of all law and will be the only law to be used in dispensing justice under Islam.
The final member of the Islamic trinity of characters will be known to the Muslims as the Al-Maseeh Ad-Dajjal, the Messiah who is a liar and the Great Deceiver, actually Islam’s anti-Christ. He will lead the people on a path to hell by claiming to be Jesus, Son of God, the Messiah and will work great miracles, deceiving many. Jesus will come to earth to fight the forces of Satan who will be primarily made up of Zionist Jews and Polytheist Christians and Pagans. He will be a Jew and will be followed by many Jews and many people of other nations who maintained their faith in him and whom he hopes to use in his war against the Mahdi and his second-in-command, Jesus. He will be successful in his assassination attempt upon Jesus, killing him in Israel at what tradition calls the Gate of Hudd (location unknown). Ultimately, however, the Mahdi will kill the impostor called Jesus and all his followers to become victorious, allowing the Nation of Islam to prevail.
To the Christian, all this sounds too familiar, but, the characters have been changed. Comparing the characteristics of the Mahdi and his follower, Jesus, to the Bible brings a larger meaning to God’s prophetic warnings. The Mahdi, coming from the people, drawing people to himself, going about the earth conquering and subduing, bringing peace, and finally seating himself in Jerusalem as the Calipha of the World rings solidly as the anti-Christ. His follower, Jesus, himself a Jew, serves as custodian of the world’s religion, Islam, and deceives the people of the world as to their role under the new leadership, ensures Islam’s laws are followed as the world standard, and killing all who oppose the Mahdi. This man is most certainly the False Prophet, who together with the Mahdi, the anti-Christ, establish a New World Order.
One of the methods by which Islam gains followers is through Jihad (war). In the Muslim mind, the term evangelism (Arabic term: Dawah) goes beyond the Christian concept of sharing the good news; it simply means war. Their war is against all who are not a part of Islam and is aimed primarily at the Jewish nation and all Christians because they see each of these faiths as corruption of the original teachings of the Old Testament. For them, the Jews forfeited the promises of God by perverting His covenant, thereby nullifying His grant of the lands and leadership He had given them. They see Christians as polytheistic because of the belief of God, the father and Jesus, the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit who form the Holy Trinity. For Islam, there is only one God and none other, and his name is Allah. Jesus is only a prophet and no more the son of Allah than any other individual. The Holy Spirit is a sole entity also, working separately but jointly with Allah.
Islam uses, unashamedly even today, the practice known as "kithman," the hiding of the truth. It is a deliberate method of dealing with people when they feel the truth is better served and protected. If Islam might possibly be harmed by revealing a truth, they are justified in telling a lie such as saying one is a Christian when he is actually a Muslim.
A kindred doctrine is called "taqiya," concealing a truth. This practice is used to protect oneself from physical or even mental harm by disguising one’s faith convictions, thoughts, philosophies, or strategies. This practice is that which allows a Muslim to deny his faith in order to further Islam while not becoming subject to criticism or ridicule in a world of non-Muslims because of his true faith. Each of these methods of deception are accepted and condoned based upon Quran writings and its Hadith traditions. The Muslim sees these as mere speech without heart-felt belief and does not violate his faith. They are only words. Such is the nature of the Muslim duty as it is seen; he tells people what they wish to hear and plays the game according to the Islamic rules.
