Islam is Pro-Humanity and May Have Given Rise
to the American Nation Herself
In Addition to the
Christian Moral and Ethical Founding of
America,
We Also Find a Strong Islamic Influence on the
American Founders where Christianity
and Islam Unite
The Founding Fathers and Islam
The Founding
Fathers of America were admirers of Islam.
Thomas Jefferson taught himself Arabic from his copy of the
Quran and he held the first Ramadan Iftar dinner in the White
House. George Washington welcomed Muslims to work for
him.

1st Amendment Thought
Islam
and Religious Freedom
There is no compulsion in Islam.
Meaning no one can ever force anyone to convert or even preach
to them, they must come of their own free will at their pace if
they ever choose to at all. Certainly they can leave anytime as
well. |
Islam
and Thinking
Islam is the most Western of religions.
Every major University in the world includes Islam in
their "Western" studies as Islam is an Abrahamic faith.
Islam is all about logic and reasoning [and the seeking
of knowledge, along with the respecting of all thoughtful opinions]. The phrase "for
those who think" is repeated in the Qur'an over and over
again. The Qur'an is credited by many to have originated
the Renaissance and
gotten Europe out of the Dark Ages. |
The Spread of
Islam—and Why People Were Attracted to Islam
Islam spread by trade
[through the ethics and righteousness of the Muslims].
Islam went from one man, the Prophet Mohamed, to spreading all over the Middle
East in less than 100 years. This was accomplished via trade.
The Muslims laws of barter were so fair and just that people
loved to trade with Muslims as they always got a fair deal. This
left such good impressions with people that many naturally
became curious about Islam and followed the good examples of
[the Muslims]. |

A Nation Under God
“Sharia” is About Economic Law
Sharia Law is Arabic for "God's Law,"
[i.e. a
peoples or nation "Under God"]. It is a system of
economic, political and moral rules [similar to Christianity*] derived from the Quran. We
have been taught to think that Sharia law is all about backwards
moral rules but Sharia law is mostly economic laws. As we
see below, issues on dress
are optional such as dressing over excessively and the punishment for
breaking moral laws often revolves on protecting the
reputation of women wrongly accused. The vast majority of Sharia's moral laws revolve around
shirk, which is idolatry.
Economic Sharia makes up about 95% of Sharia law according to
Islamic scholars like Imran Hosein.
It is similar to the Catholic churches ban on
usury.
In Islam,
usury called "Riba" and is considered among the very worst sins,
second only to "Shirk" which is idolatry or
[substituting] other
deities for the One Universal God of All.
[Also, check out the 1913 creation of the
Federal
Reserve in America that exists on enforced interest
or usury, i.e.
INCOME TAXES
on people's labors and livelihood. This is of course an
anti-God creation and does not belong in a nation "Under God."]
Economic Sharia law is responsible for Islamic
banking which has proved to be a huge success in Iran. The
western banking cartel feels very threatened by Islamic banking
and is thus taking every opportunity to demonize Sharia law by
associating it with beheadings and female mutilation and all
manner of other things which is completely anti-Sharia.
[*Islam
is both the continuation and completion of the Semitic
Religions.]

Islam
and Women
Islam is pro
women's rights.
Islam gave
women the right to own property and manage their own affairs. In
Islam it is forbidden for a man to make his wife take his last
name. The law for accusing a woman of infidelity falsely is 80
lashes. Female prime ministers have been elected in four Muslim
countries. |
Second Amendment Thought
Islam
and the Right to Self Defense
The Quran's most violent quote is "If you are attacked by the
enemy then you are permitted to kill" [in defense of life, limb,
family and property], but do
not attack them first," i.e. do not be the aggressor. At the same time, if
"they stop attacking then you must
also cease to attack and make peace."
[Further, prolonged tyranny cannot also be tolerated over the
natural, moral order of the above freedom and rights—endowed
to Man by God
as stated
in the
American Declaration of Independence.]
Islam also forbids attacking women and children [and is, as the
Prophet of Islam stated,
both protector and one with Christianity]. Only the attackers
are fought in self defense. The Prophet and his followers
[peace be upon them] stuck to this to the
shock of the world around them and still won. The Prophet only
fought 2 battles and only in defense. Islam is the most peaceful
religion there is [in staying alive and doing what is right in
service to the Light]. |
Muslim
Dress
In Islam, both women AND men must dress modestly, whatever
that is open to interpretation. Muslim women dress like nuns
do as the virgin Mary did. Wearing the veil is completely optional, except
in countries like Saudi Arabia that adhere to the extremist and
ANTI ISLAMIC sect of Wahabbism.
|
Jesus’
Role in Islam
In Islam, Jesus,
[peace be upon him] is
considered one of the greatest Prophets and messengers of God.
There is an
entire chapter in the Quran about Jesus
and his mother Mary.
The Quran teaches that everything that
Jesus preached is the
message given to him by God and must be respected by all
Muslims.
"[Jesus]
said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the
Scripture and made me a Prophet." ~ Quran
19:30
Jesus is the most quoted Prophet in the Quran, 25 times.
Moses is the most mentioned, 140 times. Mohammad is mentioned in
passing only 4 times as the Quran was being dictated to him by
God through the Angel Gabriel.
Jesus is the Messiah in Islam, not
the Prophet Mohammad. The Prophet
spoke of the return of Jesus to Earth to save the world. This
prophecy is contained in
The Hadiths
(sayings) of the Prophet Mohammed and talks about how Jesus will look like,
be dressed and where he shall appear.
The Quran tells the story of the birth of Jesus and that he
was indeed
born of a virgin.
He performed his first miracle less than an hour old when he
spoke to defend his mother's chastity.
Jesus is given an even higher place in Islam than
Christianity.
It was revealed in the Quran that Jesus was never killed, but
raised up alive for the Messiah cannot be harmed. This is also
backed up by the
Gospel of Barnibas,
which states that no nail may ever touch the Messiah.
[Quran is very likely speaking about
post-Resurrection of
Jesus, and that "no nail reached the Messiah" because
death did not end him nor defeat him. There can be subtle
shifts in interpretation from Arabic to English. It is the
Bible that gives the pre-Resurrection context. Quran also
says, "We
made a covenant of old with the children of Israel [and] you
have nothing of guidance until you observe the Torah and the
Gospel" 5:70 68. However,
please note what the
Torah true Jews are saying here regarding
"Israel," and what the
true meaning of Israel is, and what
it is not.
When
defamatory cartoons of Jesus were displayed to school children
it was the
Muslims that protested to protect the dignity of Jesus
not Christians.
[Muslims
and Christians are Semitic Brothers
—
i.e. also Semites] |
Muslims Pray as Jesus Prayed
Jesus prayed several times a day at the same time and always
touched his head to the floor.
Mohammed took after this example as his wife took after Mary and
how she dressed. All Muslims pray this way and touch their
heads to the floor as per the example originally set by Jesus.
"Going a little father, he fell with his face to the ground
and prayed"
— Matthew 26:39 |
Jesus
Foretells of Islam
Jesus mentioned the coming of the Prophet Mohammed by name in the Bible:
"I will ask the Father, and he will give you another comforter
to be with you always; the Spirit of truth, which the world
cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it." John
14:15-21
The word "comforter" is a translation of the name Ahmed
which in Aramaic and Arabic is the root of
Mohammed and means
"one who gives comfort and heals"
In older translations of the
new Testament the original name was present but has long since
been translated into the root meaning of the word. |
Mohammad’s Belief on Jesus
The Prophet Mohammad considered Jesus his spiritual brother and in
Medina where the Prophet is buried is the place that is being saved for
when Jesus returns, lives out his life and dies naturally.
The Prophet Mohammed will not be returning to Earth according to Islam. |
How
Muslims Approach Jesus
Muslims call Jesus by his true name, the same name his disciples
used and they also name their children after him. That name is
Esa. This is his name in Arabic, which has not changed for 1400
years as well as in Aramaic which is the language Jesus spoke. This
is the language spoken in the movie "The Passion of Christ." Some
Christians call Jesus Yeshua, believing that this was his name
in Hebrew. Yeshua is an acronym in Hebrew for a curse meaning
"he whose name must never be spoken." This is what the Pharisaic
rabbis called Jesus out of hatred, not an actual name.
Muslims do believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, but they do
not call him or anyone else a "son" of God because it is stated
by
Jesus himself in
the Gospel of Barnibas
and in the Quran
that idolatry is the greatest sin.
[However, "son" can also mean the
direct Light of God
[Source of All], and does not mean that Jesus replaces
the One Universal God. In John 10:30 we find,
“….My Father, who has given them to Me,
is greater than all
[emphasis added]. No one can snatch them out of My
Father’s hand. I and the Father are one." At this, the
Jews again picked up stones to stone Him ......
"I and my Father are One"
—
in the spiritual / metaphysical sense means Jesus of the Source
Light is ONE WITH IT, fully embraced (surrendered to God)
through mind-body-soul-spirit in contrast to the total
separation from Oneness or the Universal God through the human ego.]
To believe that God would
need to create off spring lowers the image of God in the eyes of
many Muslims, so they never associate God with anything other
than God.
["If God is Light" (1 John 1:5) as both Muslims and Christians
believe, then "son" or "children of God" can simply mean
Humanity as the light or spark (of the
inner light, conscience or the soul in relationship to
the Universal Law or Mind of God)
in this third, material dimension, in contrast to the soul-less,
conscience-less darkness or dark forces also known as the devil, satan or "shaitan"
(in Arabic).]
Jesus himself also chided Peter for calling him the
"son of God." The Bible no where calls Jesus the Son of God, but
the Son of Man. The Bible also calls Adam the Son of Man.
["Son of Man" and "Son of God" are closely related. In
spiritual / religious cross reference, "Man" in Sanskrit means
"mind" and "hu" means the invocation of God. Thus, the "Hu-Man"
Race is the "caller of God" into physical reality for his or her
right and true existence
or righteous and upright way.
[The reason why we have Universal Moral Law or morality—which is
a necessary ingredient in society—is because,
as Immanuel Kant, the moral philosopher said,
"No straight thing can be made from the crooked timber of
Humanity."
Without morality, all is corrupt, criminal, crooked, evil,
brutish and oppressive.]
