Islamic Division; The Danger of Radical Islam; Part 3

Susan Elliott
In 2001 the Census reported that there were 2.8 million Muslims in the United States. Some say that there may be as many as 10 million Muslims in the United States today. Does that mean that every Muslim you meet follows the radical form of Islam?

Chances are that many Muslims in the United States are actually more closely aligned with the modern liberal Muslim view. This is due in large part to the influence of Western culture on society.
However, there are populations of radical Muslims in the United States as evident by the 9-11 hijackers, Colleen LaRose, who goes by the name Jihad Jane, and Adam Pearlman who goes by the name Adam Yahiye Gadahn. Both LaRose and Perlman are United States citizens active with Al Qaeda!

Unfortunately, the United States is the perfect place to grow radical Islam, because we are extremely tolerant of all points of views and religions. Watch groups in our country are also extremely vocal about the FBI profiling some mosques and placing so many names on the "Do Not Fly" list. Do these people really realize the dangers of radical Islam? As of November 2009 there were 400,000 people on the "Do Not Fly" list and that number has grown exponentially since then. There are real threats in this country and around the world.

It is important to note however, that we are not fighting the same war as those following radical Islam; they are fighting a holy war. Americans must wake up to this fact before it is too late!

A man engaged in a holy war is determined and unstoppable unless appropriate measures are taken. The radical Muslim truly believes that homicide bombing, hijacking planes and blowing up innocent men, women and children will ensure them a place in heaven. He has been told this by Muhammad himself in the Qur'an.

Surah 3. 57-58 "If you should die or be killed in the cause of Allah, His mercy and forgiveness would surely be better than all the riches they amass. If you should die or be killed, before Him you shall all be gathered."

Surah 9.111 "Allah has purchased of their faithful lives and worldly goods, and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for His cause, kill and be killed."

Surah 47.4 "When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens."

Note that the Qur'an teaches that the radical Muslim will be rewarded greatly for his evil deeds.

Surah 4.74 "Let those fight in the cause of God who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the cause of God, whether he is slain or victorious, soon we shall give him a great reward."

Surah 78.31-43 "But for the God-fearing is a blissful abode, enclosed gardens and vineyards; and damsels with swelling breasts, and their peers in age and a full cup."

Surah 55.54 "On couches with linings on brocade shall they recline, and the fruit of the two gardens shall be within easy reach."

Surah 44.52-54 "Amid gardens and fountains, clothed in silk and richest robes facing one another: Thus shall it be: and we will wed them to the virgins with the large dark eyes."

The world must wake up to this danger. Ignore media outlets who tell you that all Muslims are peaceful and that true Islam is a religion of tolerance and love. It is no such thing! The Qur'an teaches a religion of violence and hatred, and the followers who truly believe the Qur'an's teachings, literal meanings and have not been influenced by western society are a deadly threat to every man, woman and child on this earth. May the world truly understand what is going on before it is too late.
