War, or ‘lesser Jihad’ is the 2^nd most important ‘pillar’ in the Mahometan cult.  This is ignored in the ‘school system’, universities of ‘higher education’ and in the fake news, faker commentary world.  A simple example is to read Sura 9 which expostulates the extermination of non-Muslims. It is the ‘last’ and thus, ‘most important’ chapter in Muhammad’s handbook of war.  Sura 9 helpfully lays out the plan in very clear language.  Kill the Infidel Christian, or at the very least, subdue and enslave them.

Qur’an 9:5 “When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, torture them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Qur’an 9.29 Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

What does the Quran, or Koran actually teach?

Muhammad’s handbook of war is not organised.  It runs from the longest Sura or chapter to the shortest.  Many earlier verses found in the compendium can be superseded by later commands.  Muslims call this ‘abrogation’.  Some chapters like Sura 9, take precedence over earlier or even later chapters, given their primacy.  Usually Suras, 9, 5, 2, 4, 7 and 8 are considered the most important chapters and their actual order will differ based on the Musulman viewpoint. 

We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent? (2:106)

And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse – and Allah is most knowing of what He sends down – they say, “You, [O Muhammad], are but an inventor [of lies].” But most of them do not know. (16:101)

Abrogation allows Muslims to clarify contradictions.  Sura 9:5 quote above is called the verse of the sword – the last and greatest ‘revelation’ to Muhammad.  It will abrogate any verses which may indicate peace or tolerance.  In actual fact, apart from sentence fragments taken out of context from preceding and succeeding verses, there is in actuality no tolerance for Christians expressed in the Koran.  None.  One needs to read past the sentence fragments used by Muslim apologists and see the entirety of what is being expressed.  An example is 2:256 and the ‘no compulsion’ nonsense and sentence fragment.  If anyone bothers to read the entirety of that page you will see there is plenty of compulsion in Sura 2 – and violence, war and hate.  If one has the energy, you can read the next verse, if that is not too much work, and see quite clearly that the disbelieving Christian will be sent to Hell.  Lots of compulsion here.

2:257: Allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their Auliya (supporters and helpers) are Taghut [false deities and false leaders, etc.], they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever.

Jihad is mandatory as given by abrogation and Sura 9.  In fact, Surah 9 is probably the most violent chapter as the following verses demonstrate as given above in 9:29.  If Christians don’t submit to Musulman rule as dhimmis or 2^nd class tax paying slaves, then they should be destroyed.

O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination. (9:73)

Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur’an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? (9:111)

O ye who believe! Fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him. (9:123)

By my reckoning there are well over 1500 verses of violence, hate, antipathy and intolerance directed against Christians in the Koran.  Every page has a declaration of animosity and bile towards Christians.  This is called Christophobia or Christianophobia.

Muslim ‘Jurisprudence’ agrees

All four principle Sunni schools of Islamic law agree on the importance of jihad as warfare, as do Shi’ites.  There is a long history of this teaching because it is very clear in the Qur’an.  Mahometan scholar, Mufti Taqi Usmani was a sharia judge in the Shariat Appellate Bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.  He has served on the sharia advisory boards of several financial institutions, including HSBC. In his book Islam and Modernism, he responds to a question about whether jihad should still be waged in a country in which Islam can freely be preached. He responds by citing Q 9:29 (above) and commenting:

Here killing should continue until the unbelievers pay the Jizya after they are humbled or overpowered. If the purpose of killing was only to acquire permission and freedom of preaching Islam, it would have been said “until they allow for preaching Islam”

So this Muslim, oft-quoted as a ‘moderate’ advocates killing Christians and non-Muslims today, a fact found in his country of Pakistan which persecutes, imprisons and kills Christians. 

The cult of Muhammad was only spread by war and emigration.  The demographic tide of Musulmans within Western societies will lead to civil war, or a civil implosion as the foundation of Christianity is effaced and the roots of civilisation deracinated.  A Twentieth century Orientalist and historian Henri Lammens, summarised it pretty succinctly:

The Jehad. The war against the non-Muslims, so frequently recommended in the Medinese suras, almost became, as with the Kharijites, a “sixth pillar of Islam”. Islam owes to it her expansion, in which “the mission”, properly speaking, has played an insignificant role.

Jihad and war is probably the 2^nd most important pillar on Muhammad’s cult, after the worship of himself and Al-Lah.
