The Truth about Islam

There is currently a substantial push by members of the Islamic community to counter what they describe as, in their own words, “Islamophobia” among those outside of Islam. This terminology is often used to frame disagreement with, or criticism of, Islamic beliefs as oppressive, thereby creating a perceived, and false, dichotomy: (oppressor/oppressed, victim/victimizer). Notably, this same framework is commonly associated with Marxist strategy. It is, at the core, manipulative and designed to validate their agenda.

It is important to recognize that the freedom to disagree, especially with competing worldviews, is a foundational American principle. Disagreement is not oppressive or hateful, nor does it mean that any sort of phobia exists or persists. Furthermore, in this case, refusing to accept the claims of the Islamic belief system is not unjust or discriminatory or oppressive, rather, it is a legitimate exercise of conviction for what is right, grounded in Constitutional protections, Natural Law, and most importantly, in the authority of the Word of God.

In light of the recent Islamic pressure upon the Texas State Board of Education to modify Texas and U.S. history to favor Islam in the curriculum, I asked world renowned historian William J. Federer to provide a brief overview of the foundations of Islam. I believe the snapshot Federer provides, clearly shows the doctrines of Islam to be completely incompatible with the Christian Faith, as well as the principles upon which the United States was established, namely, a framework deeply influenced by Judeo Christian thought.

Islam is not just a religious system. It is also a political and military system, as Mohammed was not just a religious leader, he was also a political and military leader. As a political and military system, Islam believes that Sharia Law came top-down from Allah and is to be enforced on the entire world, and after that, there will be world “peace.” World peace means world Islam. 

Sharia condemns man-made law, voting, and government from the consent of the governed. Sharia teaches that it is the death penalty to leave Islam. No Imam has taught not to follow Sharia as described in The Reliance of the Traveler, published in 1368.

• Sharia teaches if you believe Christ is the Messiah you will go to hell. 

• That a man can have a wife as young as nine, which violates what is right and good and innocent, as well as the age of consent laws in this nation. 

• Sharia teaches a man can have four wives. We have laws against polygamy. Sharia teaches that all a man has to do divorce his wife is say, “I divorce you” three times. No court proceedings are necessary. 

• Sharia teaches a woman cannot leave her house without her husband’s permission, cannot be in public without a male relative and must cover herself. Because if she gets raped Sharia teaches that it is her fault for allowing herself to be used as a tool of satan to tempt the man so she must be whipped 100 times. 

• Sharia teaches that a man can “discipline” his wives. Sharia teaches that it takes two women to testify against one man, as a woman’s mind is deficient. Sharia teaches if a dog, a donkey or a woman passes between a man and Mecca, when he is praying, his prayers are invalidated. Women must be at the back of the mosque, if allowed in at all. 

• Sharia violates almost every article of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

• Sharia does not allow dogs as pets. Several sharia courts have been identified in Texas. Sharia prohibits infidel unbelievers from insulting Islam. Anything that is not Islam insults Islam.

• Sharia teaches Muslims to always claim they are the victims of intolerance, therefore they are justified in retaliating. Sharia demands tolerance but never extends tolerance. Sharia teaches to lie to infidel unbelievers to advance Islam.. etc.

In summary, while often presented in purely religious terms, the comprehensive nature of Sharia as a legal, political, and social system raises profound questions when considered alongside the constitutional framework and moral foundations of the United States. 

These are but a few examples illustrating the broader concern. Highlighting the tenants of Islam is not Islamiphobic. It is simply speaking the truth.

The other truth we are to speak, as believers, is to proclaim the Truth, Jesus. May the Church rise up in a time such as this and announce His Gospel so that people from all walks of life might come to know Him as Savior and Lord.
