‘Make peace with us – or we’ll kill you!’

WorldNetDaily: ‘Make peace with us – or we’ll kill you!’ Hal Lindsey,

The mainstream media embraced the letter as vindication of their long-held but difficult to believe faith in the existence of a vast, moderate Islamic majority that follow the kinder, gentler Islam that we keep hearing about, but for which we see little evidence. That is one way of interpreting it, if you really squint hard.

Unfortunately, there are verses in the Quran that nobody wants to talk about – probably because nobody wants to consider the awful implications of their meaning.

The ignorance of our political leaders and the media concerning Islam’s true beliefs is beyond deplorable; it is more in the range of criminal negligence in time of war.

Under Islamic law, before Islam can make war against the infidel with Allah’s blessings, the infidels must first be offered an opportunity to submit to Islam. Osama bin Laden has just recently asked the leaders and people of the United States to embrace Islam. So has Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. All these letters offer the West the “opportunity” to submit to Allah as being equal to God. They also warn that, should their offer be rebuffed, “The very survival of the world is at stake.”

Islam just finished the feast of Ramadan. Here is what the Quran says should be the attitude of all Muslims at the end of this sacred feast season: “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters [particularly Jews and Christians] wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. …” (Quran, Surah 9.5)

The irony of our leaders’ and media’s response is mind-boggling. This is not an offer of peace – it is a prelude to war. In the cold light of day it means, “Make peace with Islam and Allah, or we’ll kill you.”

Hal Lindsey is probably correct. This might be the last warning before they give their blessing to carry out WMD attacks against the West. Then after the attacks and counterattacks they will repeat the same thing and the Liberals will make them out to be the peacemakers.
