A comprehensive expose' of one side of the "Abrahamic Triangle" by respected Blogger "Zen Gardner". |
One major problem with discovering what Islam actually entails is the fact that Muslims protest the Kafirs (non-Muslims) misunderstand it because something has been mistranslated, or we misunderstand because it is a subtle matter of religion.
‘Islam’ literally means submission, deriving from the word Islama.The definition of peace in Islam is total submission. According to the religious scriptures there will only be world peace once the world has converted to Islam. Evidently the Islamic agenda is to convert the world to Islam, taxing, enslaving then killing all those that do not convert. It is an offence to Islam to be Kafir. It is an offence to not recognise there is only one God, their God Allah (pronounced Al-lah).

It's said that there is dar al Islam (abode of peace) and dar al Harb (abode of war), but there is also dar as suhl (abode of peaceful coexistence).
The Muslims under Muhammad made peace treaties with polytheists, and they were still to be honoured if they weren't broken by particular parties, even if other parties broke them.
Also, not all unbelievers are kafirs. In fact, most aren't, as most of the references to kafirs were to the Meccan polytheists who were understandbly mortally hostile to the Muslims because of the increasing threat they posed to their system.
You have to be presented the message of Islam in an appropriate way and then reject it to truly be considered a kafir, and the Meccan polytheists were generally considered kafirs because they were presented with what was said to be a revelation from Allah in their own language by someone from among them claiming prophethood.
Indeed there are Muslim supremacists who want a Muslim world order by force of arms just as there are Jewish supremacists who want a Jewish world order as is called for in Isaiah and other places, similarly by force of arms, but in both cases, they need to be neutralized by first countering them cognitively, then politically, and as a last resort, by defensive force if absolutely necessary.
