Slavery, Terrorism & Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat

JUST THE FACTS
Slavery, Terrorism and Islam exposes the falsehood of these and other prevalent myths propagated about Islam. Far from Islam being a great religion of learning, tolerance and peace, this book presents the historical facts, and sets the record straight. Muhammad declared that if other books confirmed what was in the Quran then they didn't need them. And if the books did not confirm what was in the Quran they didn't want them. So the order was: Burn them! The Muslims burned libraries all across North Africa and the Middle East. They burned the library of Alexandria - the largest library in the world at that time. It probably included original copies of the Bible and other priceless manuscripts.

A TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION
Over 3200 churches were destroyed or converted into mosques during the first century of Islamic Jihad alone. During the Muslim invasion of Syria in AD 634 thousands of Christians were massacred. As Mesopotamia was conquered between AD 635 and 643 many churches and monasteries were ransacked, and ministers and Christians slain. In the conquest of Egypt AD 640 and 641, the towns of Behnesa, Fayum, Nikiu and Aboit were all put to the sword. When the Muslims invaded Cyprus, they looted and pillaged homes and churches and massacred much of the population. In North Africa, when Tripoli was captured in AD 643, all the Jews and Christians were forced to hand their women and children over as slaves. When Carthage was captured, it was burned to the ground and most of its inhabitants slaughtered.

Beginning in AD 712 the Muslim armies invaded India. They smashed and demolished temples, plundered palaces, slaughtered millions of Indian men and enslaved the women and children. The ancient cities of Baranasai Mathura, Uggain, Maheshwar, Jwalamukhi and Dwarka were sacked, the populations massacred, and not one temple left standing.

“THE BLOODIEST STORY IN HISTORY”
Will Durant in his The Story of Civilisations, describes the Muslim invasion of India as “probably the bloodiest story in history.” The North Western region of India is called the Hindu Kush (“the slaughter of the Hindu”) as a reminder of the vast number of Hindu slaves who died while being marched across the Afghan Mountains to the Muslim slave markets in Central Asia. The Buddhists were also targeted for destruction. In AD 1193 Muhammad Khilji burned to the ground their famous library and the Buddhist stronghold of Bihar.

Shah Jahan is remembered as the builder of the Taj Mahal. What few Westerners know is that the builder of the Taj Mahal launched 48 military campaigns against non-Muslims in just 30 years. In AD 1628 he killed all his male relatives. Shah Jahan had 5,000 concubines in his harem but also indulged in incestuous sex with his daughters. In just one town, Banares, Jahan destroyed 76 Hindu temples. He also demolished Christian churches at Agra and Lahore. When he captured Hugh, a Portuguese enclave near Calcutta, he had 10,000 inhabitants “blown up with powder, drowned in water or burned by fire.” Another 4,000 were enslaved and offered Islam or death. Those who refused to convert were killed.

This should be posted EVERYWHERE, taught in schools, shouted from the rooftops. Thanks, Watcher.

PG, I can't agree more. Feel free to spread the word.

Kiddo said...

LOL...I'd cross post, but no one visits my blog compared to this one. I'll send the links out everywhere though.

The book is on a subject that interest me greatly. I've been reading White Gold by Giles Milton and Islamic Imperalism by Efraim Karsh. I can recommend those books.

However, this book I strongly urge you to skip. While I haven't read the book and it could conceivably be ok, the biases of the author is more or less a nutjob.

Apparently you can scare them off by being even more horrific than they are. Maybe infidels ought to dress up as the REAL Dracula for Halloween!

ROP,
I've written on Vlad the Impaler previously. I don't think we need to use the Neutron bomb on Islamic lands. Heck, I think what Vlad did would bother them even more.

There was art to what Vlad did.

Vlad knew his enemy. He was forced to live in Turkey imprisoned as a youth. He knew the weaknesses. He was a bit off, but he got the job done. And no one really minded his job-doing as long as he was out there on the outskirts keeping the enemy at bay. No one put up that much fuss over his other, ahem, problematic style of rule. We need a Vlad on the borders.
