Absolutism
The process of confrontation and coercive conversion continues,
indoctrinating all inhabitants of the Abode of Peace with Islam’s
theology as absolute. Reminiscent of the Prophet’s triumphal entry into
Mecca, Islam maintains that it will discredit all other religions by
conquering the Abode of War and emerging triumphant. Its sectarian
leaders will call out ‘Allaho Akbar,’ reiterating: “one universal god,
one universal religion, one universal system of government”, reaffirming
Islam as absolute - the whole world will then become the Abode of Peace.
Peace will prevail on earth under the banner of the one Nation of Islam,
as is now the case in Saudi Arabia and the whole of the Arab Peninsula,
in fulfilment of the prophet’s message. Muslims often take, by force,
from non-Muslims. Under certain circumstances, it becomes permissible
and lawful to attack a non-Muslim, raid, kill, lay claim and possess the
person’s property according to their religious (shari’ah) law.
Surah (IX) 9; (V): 5; (Al-Tawbah) Repentance: calls upon the Muslims to
resume their fight against the (Mushrikeen) polytheists:
"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay The
Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, And
lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); But if they
repent, and establish regular prayers And practise regular charity
then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful."
Militants, under the direct leadership of Islamic organizations, have
adopted a new approach to jihad. The mujahideen operate with a style
that is convenient and agrees with the modern times. They employ
advanced technology and deadly weaponry. They have extended their field
of operation to cover nearly the whole world. This includes the whole of
Africa; the Middle and Near East, the Balkans, the West, parts of
Eastern Europe (the Caucuses) and the central region of Asia; Indian
Sub-Continent, China’s Far West down to Malaysia, the Philippines,
Indonesia, East Timor, West Papua and parts of the Western Hemisphere.
Only locations change. Instead of beasts of burden like the donkey,
horse and camel, they now use motorised means of transport like cars,
trains, motorboats, motorbikes and planes. They resort to sabotage, mine
traps, remote car bombing and assassination. Instead of attacking and
raiding caravans as of old, they hijack passenger planes, use
explosives, and blow up vehicles and trains causing maximum damage to
buildings and military targets; and injury to Christian and Jewish
people indiscriminately. Their aim is to draw attention to their call,
to have others accept and agree to their cause and their religion as
true and applicable.
