The Key to Understanding Islam is knowing the life of Mohammed (the Sira) is the key to understanding Islam and the Koran. In one of the great stories of history, Mohammed went from being an orphan to the first ruler of all Arabia. Battles, raids, torture, deception, slavery, assassinations, heroes, secret agents, and religion all figure in his glorious triumph. Mohammed was the world’s supreme master of war. Poetry, passion, culture, immigration, history, sex, ethics, economics, Paradise and Hell were all used to define a new form of war—jihad. This is an epic story and sacred text. The Islamic Trilogy—Koran, Sira, Hadith Islam is a political system, a culture and a religion based upon the Koran, Sira (life of Mohammed) and Hadith (the Traditions of Mohammed). The Islamic Trilogy series integrates the three primary sources to give the entire Islamic political doctrine—the treatment of non-Muslims. The Trilogy is authoritative and fact-based. All statements can be confirmed by the use of reference numbers. The knowledge is integrated—all of the primary sources are used to give the complete picture of Islam’s political doctrine.
Bill Warner is the pen name of Bill French (born 1941, United States), a writer, critic of Islam, and the founder of the Center for the Study of Political Islam. He is a former Tennessee State University physics professor. He is listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as part of a core group of 10 Anti-Muslim hard-liners.
Warner has said that his focus is on the political aspects of Islamic doctrine related to kafirs (non-Muslims) rather than on the beliefs of contemporary Muslims. He differentiates Islam as a religion and what he refers to as Political Islam. Warner defines "political Islam," which he also calls Islamism, "as a belief that Islam should control society and politics, not simply personal religious life."
Wow. Like many in the West, I'm sure, I only have/had a very superficial knowledge of Mohammed and Islam. I've been taught to respect it and all other religions by default, which is usually a good practice.
But...Wow. The whole idea of Islam being a religion of peace is pretty much unsustainable if one reads about its and Mohammed's origins. Murder, rape, slavery, polygamy, theft, assassination, lies, deceit. It's all there, all sanctioned by Mohammed and still used to some extent to this day to further the aims of this political and religious movement.
Mohammed, a crazed and violent warlord, is, to Muslims, the perfect example of how to live. Learn just how he achieved his success, and how nothing has changed since. There is no such thing as moderate Islam. Persuasion or domination. Either way, it doesn't matter. It is all jihad. Wake up, and resist this evil scourge wherever you find it.
Author Warner once again helps us understand how Islam has been, and continues to be, a threat to all non-Muslims around the world. I believe it is critical that every non-Muslim become aware of the danger Islam is to values such as personal responsibility, the Golden Rule, and compassion for the other. Remain ignorant of this at the peril of your children and their children!
