The Dark History Of Muhammed And Why It Matters

Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth, equip the saints and impact our culture. To understand what's going on, we have to understand Mohammed. He was a religious leader and then a political leader and then a military leader. And so within five years of Mohammed coming into the Jewish city of Medina as an immigrant or is not a Jew left in the city of Medina. So when Montgomery said, oh my religion began with Mohammed being an immigrant stranger into the city of Medina. Yeah, what happened next? And so people think that the crusades were just some mean, brutal, preemptive strike. It was a response to the Islamic invasion that was extremely violent in these European countries. So it's a three-step process. It was great, increase, eliminate. You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackhibbs.com slash podcast.

Well, hey everybody, welcome to the podcast and we are here in beautiful Southern California. Huntington Beach, specifically a very, very unique city in Southern California because it is so, so conservative. The members of the city council are all believers in the Lord Jesus and this country, this, this city reflects all that. And that's why we have chosen to have our comeback California event right here in Surf City, USA and part of the great things that are going on. In fact, some of the stuff I'm going to, I'm going to want you to listen to, we'll save that for later. You're going to want to hear what is going on for sure, but we have with us a treasure. He is a national treasure. He's a treasure to the church and he's a treasure to, to me. I love this man. I have listened to him for many, many decades and God has used him mildly. William Federer or Bill Federer and prolific author and profound speaker. There's nobody like him in this nation in Bill. It's great to have you with us. We're going to dive in right now if you don't mind of what's going on in not only just California and Los Angeles, but really in pockets throughout the United States as we've seen happen in New York. Bill, there's a rise of political involvement by Islamists, Muslims seeking to use our Judeo-Christian system to bring in their Islamic worldview. And what do you think about that? What's your word? Well, to understand what's going on, we have to understand Mohammed. He's the DNA and so his life went through three stages. He was a religious leader and then a political leader and then a military leader. And so the situation is the Byzantine Christian empire had been in a war with Iran, Persia, for centuries. They beat each other up and left the power vacuum. And so in 570 AD is when Mohammed was born. Obviously, Mohammed and his original followers were all illiterate and so the word Quran means recitation. So it's oral. So there is room for, did he really exist? And if so, but for the typical Muslim, they assume that he did exist. And so he's born in 570 AD, his father dies before he's born, his mother dies when he's six, his grandfather and guardian dies when he's eight. He's orphaned taken in by an uncle Abu Talib who's a merchant who takes Mohammed on camera rides to different cities. And he hears about the different religions. One of them was Manikism. A guy named Mani said there's little bits of truth in every religion. Like a pantheist? Yeah. And a follower of Manikism was St. Augustine, until he met the guy and realized he didn't know what he was talking about, rejected it, became a Christian. Well, anyway, the Persians were Zoroastrian that believed that paradise was filled full of virgins that would fulfill all the guy's desires. What a place. Well, Mohammed heard that and he put it into his belief system. The Zoroastrians believed in gyms or genies like a thousand one Arabian nights. And then there's the pagans. And so in Mecca, they had a square building called the Kabab that housed 360 different pagan gods. 360. The most popular was who balled the moon God. And their calendar began with the first site of the crescent moon over the desert. That's right. They had a rock they thought had fallen from the moon. It's a glass impact rock where media or hit the desert sands. And these pagans would kiss this rock walk around it, bow to it for centuries. And Mohammed kissed that rock. And that practice got incorporated into his belief system. There were the subbeans that were into chopping off arms and legs. And that got into and then there's the Jewish faith. And Mohammed originally had his followers bound towards Jerusalem. And then there's the Christian faith. And even in Cyclopevia, Britannicus, as the gospel was made known to Mohammed through apocryphal and heretical sources. So Mohammed thought the Trinity was the father marrying Jesus. And apocryphal, what's that? The Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Written several centuries after Jesus by someone who knew nothing of Jewish life. It's filled full of these little Harry Potter type stories of Jesus making clay birds clap and they flew away, raised a playmate from the dead, spoke from the cradle. There's no other book that has these stories other than this Infancy Gospel that no scholar takes serious because of all the years. But Mohammed heard those stories and now they're incorporated into Islam. So he is 25. He marries a wealthy widow, could digest. He's 40. He does not have to work. And then a movement sweeps through called monasticism where the Christians would give away their money and live in a cave as a hermit. And so that's when Mohammed went to a cave and prayed and a spirit appeared to him and commanded him to read. And he said, I cannot read. Happened the second time, third time, and then he began to recite. And people say, how can somebody that's illiterate memorize these verses? Well, in Arabic they had a little rhyme to them, a little beat. Very similar to rap music. Yeah. So maybe there's a student that can't read, but they memorize rap songs. And so he thinks he's demon possessed. And according to their Rasut, Sarat Rasulullah, the first biography of Mohammed. He goes back to his wife, Kadija, and she decides to test the spirit. She says, can you tell me when this visitant comes? And so she has Mohammed sit on her left thigh and says, can you see the spirit? And he goes, yes, over there. And then she has him sit on her right thigh and say, can you see the spirit? Yes, over there. Then she has him sit on her lap and she begins to disclose her form and says, can you see the spirit? And he goes, no. And she says, well, it must have been from God because it was embarrassed to look upon me without on my veils on. That was the test that Mohammed used to decide whether the spirit appearing to him was from God. And now, first John four says the test is every spirit that does not acknowledge Christ is a vana Christ. And that if I or someone or even an angel from heaven preaches another gospel, right, rejected. And then so we see that Mohammed was illiterate so he could never read the New Testament. Well, she takes him Mohammed to her cousin, who's an Ebony night Christian priest. Ebonyism is this heresy that says Jesus less than God. He says, maybe this is the spirit that appeared to Moses. And then he dies. And Mohammed is left with the spirit for 15 years. In 610 AD, he goes into mecca. And he thinks there's something in his new faith for everyone, something for the Jews, something for the Christians, something for the Zoroastrians, something for the pagans, and nobody likes it. And he gets confrontational. And in 619 AD, when his wife Kadija dies, his uncle Abu Talib dies, who is his protector, they chase him out of town. He tries going to al-Tahif. They had a one of them, they pelten with rocks and stones. So in 622, he goes north to Medina. That's right. Three Jewish tribes led him in and they have intertribal warfare. They had like trumped arrangements in them. They like hate each other so much. But anyway, they're tolerant and they let Mohammed in. And so Mohammed goes into the minority. So he's the first ever Muslim immigrant. That's right. He goes into the minority neighborhoods and he organizes a following. It's sort of like a community organizer. And he gets in the refugee camps, so to speak. Yeah. And then he becomes a political leader. He pressures the Jews to a treaty. And then his followers in mecca get confrontational. They get chased out of town. Now there's lots of Muslim immigrants. Jews are tolerant. Let them in as lots of refugees. And Mohammed allows them to rob the caravans headed back to mecca in retaliation for the meccans chasing them out. So where Jesus said, if they take your goat, give him your shirt, his attitude was victimhood. We're the victims. They were intolerant of us. Therefore, we're justified in attacking the caravans. Really built on a disgruntled disenfranchised grudge. We've been rejected it's time to advance this by violence. No one's going to listen to me. So let's take it. Yeah. And so that went into the victimhood went into the DNA of Islam. So they will always portray themselves as victims of somebody else's intolerance justifying them in attacking. So Mohammed gets versus from his Allah to attack caravans. One of them 3350 says Allah has given you the slave girls as your booty. He tells his men you can have four wives plus as many extra women as your right hand possesses, concubines, slave wives. And then he gets a fifth of the booty. Surah 841. And so the meccans send a thousand soldiers to escort their caravan and Mohammed with 300 defeats a thousand at the Battle of Badra in 624 AD. So here's not numbered three to one. And he wins. He takes this as confirmation that Allah wants him to be a military leader. Fight some 66 battles and raids in the next eight years killing an estimated 3000 people. So Mohammed himself went from a religious Muslim to a political Muslim to a militant Muslim. So those that want to follow him follow him religiously politically. So there's freedom for all religions in America but Islam is not just a religion because Mohammed was not just a religious leader. He was also a political and a military leader. Yeah. And so then he goes back into the city of Medina where the three Jewish tribes and he gets offended at the smallest of the tribes. And the other two tribes like I've said have this trumped arrangement. So I was like we hated that tribe. And so when Mohammed confiscates their property and chases them up the other ones are like they had it coming to them. I'm glad they're gone. There you go. You get it. Now there's just two Jewish tribes. And Mohammed picks on the one that the other two don't, the other one doesn't like and confiscates their property. Chases them out. And the big Jewish tribe sort of stands back says well they had it coming to them now one less competition. And now there's only one in according to the biography of Mohammed. He's taking a bath. And the spirit appears to him again and says how can you rest what all his enemies are in your midst points at that last Jewish neighborhood. Surah for 25 days brings me to the market chops off their heads about 700 cells woman in slavery. And so within five years of Mohammed coming into the Jewish city of Medina as an immigrant there is not a Jew left in the city of Medina. So when Mondami said oh my religion began with Mohammed being an immigrant a stranger into the city of Medina. It's like yeah what happened there. Yeah keep going on keep going. And so it's a three step process. Immigrate increase eliminate. Right. Like say it. Say it again for everybody to hear this slowly. Say those three immigrate increase eliminate. Exactly. So you immigrate as a religious refugee and take advantage of the tolerance of the host country. Yes. And then you increase the number of your followers amongst the minorities and begin to get involved in politics. There you go. And then you have random outbreaks of violence. Yes. Acid attacks, knifeings, rapes and the previous inhabitants of the neighborhood no longer feel safe and they move out. Yep. You take over the neighborhood. Yeah exactly right. Very very predictive tactic that has worked for Islam from the beginning. I did an interview with Ryan Hilfenbine of Liberty. Sure. For no Ryan well. And he liked it. Immigrate populate dominate. Yeah. And I thought well yeah they're coming in and they're having their four wives and they put them on welfare. That's right. In the United States the welfare system. And then the they say well my husband is not around. And the more children they have the bigger the welfare checks get. And this guy's living like a prince. He is. And the typical Muslim moment has five children. Yeah. And you and I are paying for it. And it's all paid for its attacks expense. And so so this is a predictable pattern with 1400 years. So the so there's two ways to spread Islam the fast way and the slow way. The fast way is jihad through the sword. The slow way is da wa d a w a h. It's immigration jihad where you come into the host country. And then and so the first Muslims which has served them very well throughout all of Europe. And now even here in the States. So Henry Ford built cars and Detroit and he hated unions. And he's traveling the world looking for an alternative source of rubber. And he's in the Middle East. And a man from Yemen helps put his luggage on the boat. And he does such a good job. Henry Ford says show up in Detroit. I'll pay you five dollars a day. Five dollars a day which was huge. And so it started a flood of Arabs into Detroit. And they worked hard. And this is 19 be 19 20s. Okay. And so they worked hard. They did not join unions. And they were nice. And everybody says they're nice. They work hard. They don't join unions. Let more work come in. They work hard. They don't join unions. They're and then they let more and more until finally I think it's 1924 they get the first email. And then the next year they get the Shiite email. So first is a Sunni email and then she and together they build the first purpose built mosque in America. Right. So they're not just taking over another building. This is a building intentionally built as a myth. The first one ever in America. And they start the one of the very first Islamic associations in America. In fact, Bill, I want you to keep going. But a lot of Americans don't realize most Christians don't know that when a Muslim walks a territory of peace of land or they build a mosque, they believe that they have now a law given authority over a region that is the parameter of that mosque. They believe it is theirs. You can say, well, that's ridiculous. I don't believe it. It doesn't matter what you believe. They believe it. And they're the ones that are actively advancing Islam using the Judeo-Christian worldview freedoms that we have in the United States to advance their cause. You don't have to agree or disagree or believe or not believe in what your what the Muslim believes in, they do. And they will advance it. You're irrelevant unless you speak up. Yeah. We try to give our feelings to them, our motivations to them when they have their own separate motivations. They do believe that if they build a mosque, they're building themselves a palace for the next life. And that any property within sight of the minaret of the mosque belongs to Islam. There you go. And if you think of it in reverse, if you're in a foreign country and it's really strange, and then you see a church steeped with the cross, you feel like, oh, it's a little, I feel more comfortable in this neighborhood, right? So the so Henry Ford brings them in and then these imams begin to coach the Muslims in Detroit to follow the Quran closer. And they say, sir, I saw your wife out shopping and she was dressed in modestly. And the man goes home and says, you embarrassed me in front of the the imam in this community. You need to start covering up. And then the imam says, I hear your daughter was at a public swimming pool with infidel boys there. And he goes home, daughter, no more swimming. Exactly. And then he says, I saw you having lunch with an infidel. You're not supposed to be close friends with infidels. And so okay, and he gradually coaches them to follow the Quran closer and become more fundamental following Muhammad's example, which goes from religious to political military. And now some definitions. The word Islam means submission to the will of Allah. That's right. A Muslim is one who has submitted, and they think they'll be world peace when the whole world submits to the will of Allah. Once they're in control. Yes. Okay. When all your enemies are defeated. So to tell them, world peace means world Islam. Yeah, you got to spell on the word peace differently. I read a quote from the link. I read a quote from Lincoln. And during the Civil War, he said, we all declare for liberty. But in using the same word, we do not all mean the same thing. Exactly. So when the South says liberty, it's kicking the Northern troops out. When the North says liberty is free in the slaves. Exactly. Same word to the British. And now the moderate Muslim believes the world will submit to all it later. Maybe in the distant future, maybe at the end of the world, maybe it's even figurative. And since it's so far off, they really don't think about it. They just want to live their lives and they're wonderful people. And they want to have you as a friend, neighbor, and family member. And they're happy to be under the umbrella of the West. The fundamental Muslim, they think the world is supposed to submit to Allah now. Now. And the fundamental Muslim is just as happy to kill a moderate Muslim. That's right. As they are to kill an infantile. That's what a lot of people don't realize who may be flirting with Islam. So maybe I'll say this gently. In the United States, there seems to be this bizarre affection, specifically strangely, among two people groups that are gravitating toward Islam. White, urban, American women. And the other one is disenfranchised Catholics. There's especially in the Hispanic realm. There's some sort of continuity they sense or feel. That said, what's amazing, what people don't realize is that when Islam takes power, or when it goes violent. Look, you sit, you and I are sitting in here right now. It happens to be a Thursday. We just watched on Tuesday, Bill, Times Square, New York City, tremendous amounts of violence and rioting of Muslims condemning the state of Israel and the existence of Israel. And when given the opportunity, history tells us that they will go violent. That said, what a lot of people don't realize in America is that when the fundamental Muslim shows up on the scene, the first ones that they will kill is that moderate or liberal Muslim. They'll put the Jew in the Christian unhold to deal with this one first. And then they will go after the Jew and then the Christian. And this is not metaphorical. The history of Islam has proven that that is their actions. Once they have the perceived or the actual powers to do it, they will do it. They don't sit idle to be truly Muslim is to embrace that Islamic umbrella, which is geopolitical, theocratic worldview. There's the religion, there's the government, Sharia. There are all these areas. People just want to think of it as a backwater, backward religion. Oh, it's way more than that. Way more than that. So the world's divided into the Dar al-Islam and the Dar al-Harb. The Dar al-Islam is the house of Islam, the house of submission, and then the Dar al-Harb, the house of war. It's supposed to be at war because it's in the process of being subdued. Now, the moderate Muslim is happy to be under the Western umbrella, enjoy freedoms and fashions and foods and drinks. And if a terrorist attack happens and the non-Muslim authority in the world comes down hard, they're happy to stay leaning toward the West. But when the non-Muslim world does not come down hard on the fundamental ones, worse gives them money, gives them arms, leaves 85 billion dollars worth of weapons. That's right. Then the moderate Muslim is like, well, if you're not going to come to my rescue and they're threatening to kill me unless I lean more in their direction, it's like if a gang is moving into your neighborhood and they're doing a drug deal on your lawn, you call the police that police show up and arrest them. Are you going to call the police again? Yeah. Yeah. But what if you call the police and they don't show up? Worse, the gang leader comes to your door and says, we have somebody inside the police department and they said you snitch. If you do it again, we'll kill you. That's exactly. Are you going to call the police anymore? No. So anyways, so back to Mohammed. He within five years of him coming into the Jewish city of Medina, there's not a Jew left. And if he would have said that ahead of time, hey, the Jews, what are you knighted? But they have this Trump derangement, so they hated the other parties so much. So then you have within five years of Mohammed's death, every pre-existing culture in Arabia is wiped out. That's right. And then you have Amir Ibn al-As and around the six forties, he invades Egypt. And what happens? Egypt had been Christian for six centuries. Absolutely. And by March the growth of the gospel, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. And the Byzantine Christians of Constantinople were persecuting the Coptic Christians in Egypt. And the Amir Ibn al-As says, we'll help you copter against the Byzantines. And they're like, really, you're so nice. You'll help our party against that party. Once they come in, they not only take over, there's a Khalif al-Hakim, and he decides to cut out the tongues of anybody caught speaking Coptic. Yeah. Literally eradicates an entire language. And then the Muslims conquered Jerusalem, which had been a Byzantine Christian city. That's right. And the Bishop Orthodox Greek brokers a deal. Instead of two choices, convert or die, you get a third choice. You can be a a second-class citizen where you pay taxes to your new Muslim overlords. Yes, fund the system. And it's called the Jizia. It's an annual tax. You ransom your life. And if you run out of money, you're no longer a part of the agreement. They can sell you and your wife's children and slavery. And so that's how these Somali Muslims in Minneapolis have no problem living off the taxes and the fraud of the taxpayers. You're the subdued nation. You're supposed to support us. And then in 648 AD, Khalif Umar conquers Syria. Syria was the first country that was completely Christian, evangelized by the Apostle Paul. And the name Christian was first invented in Syria. And then you North Africa. And remember that monasticism movement, give all your money, live in a cave. Well, North Africa bought into that. It was their version of separation of church and state. And you had these Christians saying, oh, we're so spiritual, we're just going to withdraw. The Umayyad Muslims just conquered all the North Africa in 10 years. And then you have a Tariq is the Muslim general. And in 610 AD, excuse me, 7-11, easy to remember because like the convenience store. So in the year 7-11, Tariq has 80,000 Muslims cross the strait of Gibraltar and land at a mountain. And the Arabic word for mountain is Jabal. So they called it Jabal Tariq, Jabal Tariq. Jabal Tariq. Jabal Tariq is where Tariq landed. And so the same thing happens in Spain. You got this agathic Christian kingdoms that didn't get along. And they would pick on one kingdom. And the other ones would stand back and says, you know, there were arrived like high school football rivals. I hated them. And so then their ones gone. And another one's gone. And another one's gone. In 10 years, they conquer all of Spain, cross the Pyrenees, conquer southern France. They're finally stopped outside of Paris and the battle of tours. Yeah, Martel, yeah. In 732 AD, just 100 years after the death of Muhammad in 632 AD, the first century of Islam is a military campaign. Which, by the way, little fun side note is when after the after that conquering of Islam, that's when they began to bake the cross on. Now that's after the battle of Vienna. Oh, is it in 683? Eat the the crescent moon of Islam. Yeah. So, so then you have the 100, 200,000 Muslims around Vienna in the 1683. And in this, the Polish King Jan Sobilski that comes to there. And those were the two main battles. So the Charles Martel stopped the Muslims from meeting France and the Polish King Jan Sobilski stopped them. But that's a thousand years of conquest. And wasn't their day of defeat September 11th? September 11th? Yeah. Which, and I was told by some FBI agents who were involved in the investigation after the 9-11 attacks that in both in New Jersey and in Florida, they had devotions provided by Osama bin Laden. And he had been talking about to them before he gave the pep talk on paper that they could, that if things didn't come together, they would regroup later on because it could not happen on the on September 10th. And it couldn't happen on September 12th. A lot of people don't realize this. The September 11th attacks on 2001 had to happen on September 11th because Osama bin Laden was all about redeeming the day of infamy from the gates of Vienna of 1683. Yeah. And just to re-emphasize that in 1565, you had 40,000 Muslims surround the island of Malta, which was the last island protecting with the Western Mediterranean. And they were defeated on September 11th, 1565. And then, fast forward in 1697, you have another 100,000 Muslims invading Serbia. And that's when you have Eugene of Savoy and you have the different, and they drive the Muslims out on September 11th, 1697. So three different times in September 11th. And when you understand Islam, there's no concept of a personal relationship with Allah. Yeah. It's a group, it's an uma, it's a community, it's a team. Yeah. And so if your team loses the playoffs, how does your team regain their honor? Yeah. Maybe win the playoffs? You got to go win the playoffs. And so if you lose on a particular day, how do you regain your own, you win on that day? You got you got to win that day. Side note, I don't want to throw you off, but the first chapter of Christopher Columbus's first journal of his expedition, he makes mention how Ferdinand and Isabella, when they came to Alhambra, where they defeated the king of the Moors, where he was deposed from his throne, the Muslim ruler, and he bowed before Isabella and Ferdinand and kissed the ring of the king in surrender and how Columbus wrote that down in his first journal. He watched it happen in 1492, I guess it was 92 or 91. Yeah, it's interesting. So the Muslim general, Khalid Ibn al-Walid, undefeated in 100 battles, he conquers Persia or Iran in 632 AD. So I'm going to get around to that battle of Columbus, talking about Columbus. So now you have, since that 700-year war between the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire, left the power vacuum, so now Persia is conquered by the Muslims. Interesting, the Persians were civilized. You have Queen Esther and Daniel and Cyrus. The Arabs were literate desert raiders. And so once you have the Muslims conquer Persia, there's a moderating effect on Islam. It's called the Islamic Golden Age, and you have Al Rashid, is the the caliph in Baghdad, and he has, you know, Buddhist in his court, Christians in his court. He has women that are allowed to speak in his court. He even receives a delegation from Charlemagne. And he sends back presents to Charlemagne. That's Al Rashid, it's the Islamic Golden Age. It's a funny, the caliph the Islamic Golden Age, and they were acting more like, and benefiting from Judeo-Christian worldview influence, and they called it the Golden Age. Hey, we'll get in a way from this Islamic fundamentalism, and acting and learning, and being more like Christian, turned into a golden age for us. Yeah, and they had three scholars, Al-Farabi, Averos, and Abacena, and they were teaching that maybe paradise is not feelful of virgins. Maybe it's more spiritual, and they began to study Greek, and Latin, and medicine, and math, and music, and if you were to take a snapshot, you would have thought that the Islamic world's about to experience the Renaissance, but it gets slapped down by a Muslim leader named Ghazali. He's the second most important Muslim after Muhammad, and he is Amuja Hadin or a new or the faith, and he says, stop studying Greek stuff, even geometry, because if you study Greek math, they're going to be pulled away from Islam. You use your brain, you're going to start thinking for yourself, and can't have that going on. But it is interesting because Muhammad's first biography was written during this era where the Persians were civilizing, writing it down, and so that first century of Islam, it's oral, and so that's where you have this intellectual question of did Muhammad really exist, or is the compilation of different things, because we don't have any written records. We don't have written records, we have no evidence on only oral tradition. Then the Persians hired Turks who were a nomadic Central Asia people group to be their mercenaries against the Mongols. So you got Genghis Khan, he kills 30 million people from Korea to Hungary, his grandson is Hulu Gukhan, and he sacks Baghdad, and he kills 100,000 people, and he burns this big library that has 100,000 books, and then so now there's no more Persian golden age, who's left standing, but these Turkish mercenaries, and they turn into the Turks. So in the year 1071, they started invading into Turkey, and all seven churches mentioned the Book of Revelation, were wiped out by the awesome Turks. And then you have the Greek Orthodox Christians begging Roman Catholic West for help, they sent help, it's called the first crusade, and then there's nine major crusades, Richard the Lionheart led the third, and St. Louis led the seventh and eighth. We realized that the crusades were in response to Islamic advancement, because what was Islam doing for example in France? What was Islam doing for example in Austria? And so people think that the crusades were just some mean brutal preemptive strike, it was a response to the Islamic invasion that was extremely violent in these European countries. Yeah I mean it's the Christians that were underneath of the thumb of these Islamic countries were crying to the West for help, and so you had the mad caliph in Jerusalem, and in the you know around the year 1000, it's al-Hakim. And al-Hakim is the one that cut out the tongues of all the Coptics, he destroys the Church of the Holy Seplicer, he like you know brings the priests to the altars and cuts their throats, and so reports of al-Hakim are going back to Europe, and these Christian minorities, so the Muslims were not quick to make the Christians convert, because they were the tax base. Exactly, they were the economic. And so they didn't like want them to convert, because it's like you know anyway, so these Christians are begging the West for help, and the West finally sense help is called the crusades. And so the anyway, so the Seljuke Turks conquer for about two centuries and during the crusades, and then you have these Ottoman Turks, and the Ottoman Turks in the 1200s take over, and they finally conquer Constantinople, the largest Christian city in the world, in 1453, turned the largest Christian church, it was the equivalent of the Vatican, Hagia Sophia, 165 feet high, 102 foot across dome, four acres of gold mosaics, they cover with white washing crayon verses. Well, why is this important? The year again is what? 1453. This cuts off the land routes to get from Europe to India and China, like Marco Polo, 1200s went over there, brought back spaghetti, charcoal, and gunpowder, and noodles, and so forth, and so that's why Columbus looked for a sea route to get to India and China. And so as you mentioned in Columbus's Liebro de los profissias, he's talking about that if they can, you know, the king and queen of Spain, hopefully we can go on a crusade and get back to the holy land, but his plan is not to go on the westward route, but the eastern route, which no one to this point is known if it exists. He's run into some islands, he's convinced he's in India, he meets people that he names Indians and the name sticks. Yeah, he even makes a comment in his writings, and I love for you guys, it's not very big. You should read Christopher Columbus's first journal. In that several times he talks about where he's in either, you know, whichever one of the Caribbean islands, which is a whole another fun word to talk about, Carib, but that said, he talks about, oh, we were able to find some gold. We'll make sure that this gets back to the king and queen so it can possibly fund military outreaches to liberate Jerusalem from the from the Moors. He called them Mohammedans. Yeah, well, it is interesting for an entire century, gold from the new world fitted out the Spanish navy to stop the Muslim from taking over the Mediterranean. That's right. The Barbary coast. Yeah, and so this brings up another interesting thing. Mohammed robbed caravans and so his followers had ships and they robbed the coast of Europe. People forget in the year 846 AD 11,000 Muslim warriors sailed up the the the Tiber River and they sacked Rome and they trashed the bones of St. Peter and St. Paul. That's why Pope Leo built a 39-foot wall around the Vatican that's still there to this day. Absolutely. I've seen it with my own eyes. And so then each country in Europe would pay an annual tribute to these Muslim pirates and that's the Jizia, yeah. Yes, so this is an extortion payment. Extortion, which the United States fast-forwarding Jefferson and Adam said we're not going to pay this anymore because we were being charged that. So when we broke from Britain, we're no longer covered under the British tribute payment. And so we start picking it up 20% of our federal budgets was going under the terms of George Washington and John Adams was going to these Barbary pirates. The day after Jefferson got inaugurated the third president, he gets a demand from the Pasha of Tripoli for a quarter of a million dollars extortion payment. And he said I did the only reasonable thing. I sent in a squadron of our ships to escort our commerce in the Mediterranean. I want to insert this. The longest ongoing running war that has never had a legal declaration of the end of war has been the United States battle with the Islamic pirates of the Mediterranean. Jefferson and Adams played a key role in that. But I remember a congressman who was newly elected in those days by the name of Keith Ellison. And Keith Ellison lied to the American people and of course American people love the lie. And that is he called for Jefferson's Quran. He wanted to be sworn into office with his hand upon Jefferson's Quran, making you think Jefferson was somehow in factuated with Islam, the exact opposite. When Thomas Jefferson was elected, he called for the Quran. I actually can't use the word on camera right now that Jefferson used. I'll just say this, I'll put it this way. Jefferson called for the Quran and when asked what do you want with it, he said, I want to know with these crazy people, think, because we are going to go up against them. We are going to take them out. Most Americans don't even know that. Yeah. So there's the this history of conflict. And so that's why you have Somali pirates, port of Hormuz, you know, the piracy. Oh, and so Stephen Decatur, and you know, so he fought in the first Barbari pirate war. And then in the second Barbari pirate war in 1815 under James Madison, he's negotiating with the Pasha of Tripoli. And the Pasha says, drop the treaty as you will, but be assured as soon as you leave the harbor, it will be waste paper. Exactly. And so the the Islamic concept of treaty is Hoodna when you're weak, you make treaties until you get strong enough to disregard them. I'm sorry. What is friends listen with what he just said? I don't know when this podcast is going to drop. But what you just said, I'm not sure if you're aware, because you've been busy. So as I've been getting as I was getting ready for today at this conference here at this resort, I had the news on. And right now, you know, Trump is saying we've got to deal with Iran. We've got a deal. It's good. It's going to be great. Israel is saying, excuse me. Hello, it's never a good it's never a good thing to have a deal with Iran. Of course, we're talking about the Islamic IRG. So Trump made a comment today. And he said, we think that they can be trusted on the demands that we are requiring of them. And I am I nobody, but I know enough from history that either I hope Trump knows this and he's playing out a game because if he doesn't, then I'm concerned like Israel is and it's this. Hoodna translation IRGC. Trump, you guys have kicked our teeth in. You've beaten the snot out of us. We're about ready to collapse. But as long as there's one man standing, we're still winning up against the great state in America, that said, we need to live another day so we can fight another day. So we are going to call now a meeting. We'll get together with you in Hoodna, meaning because we're getting beat up, we're going to call for a peace deal. We'll agree to your terms. The West, so naive and ignorant says, yay, look, we won. And Islam silently laughs because we've played right into their tactic because you got to remember they as long as they have one man standing representing their team, they think they've won. And in the IRGC in Iran, they think they're winning. You see, how can that possibly be? Because they're still existing. And when they call for Hoodna, that means they want to use the, I don't know, naivety of the West to live to fight another day. Well, it's interesting for centuries of Islamic tribal warfare, when one senses that they're losing, they will send an embesage to the stronger one and super peace. Even Jesus talked about that. Somebody would 20,000, another one would 10,000, if you realize they, you know, they go, and so the fact that they, whoever approaches the other one seeking a treaty has already admitted they lost. That's right. And so when we ascend people over there and says, hey, we want to meet with you. From their point of view, we've lost. Exactly. The only thing is them begging us for, if they're begging us for a treaty, that's when you know that you're in this position of strength, as long as it's us wanting to do a treaty with them, then their mindset. And so a couple of issues, so Mohamed made that treaty with those three Jewish tribes. And he found an excuse to break the treaty with the one and kick them out, then the second and the third. By accusing them, well, you're, you were communicating with another tribe. And so I'm going to take that as an excuse to break it. Another is there was a habit of the pagans, where they had one month off, where they didn't fight. And so they would go on their pilgrimage to that square building when it was still a pagan city in Mecca. Well, Mohamed gets his revelation from Allah that it's okay to attack these caravans during this month off. And the other tribes, they couldn't comprehend this. And so the idea is that it's okay to break treaties because Mohamed would break treaties. Another interesting one is comparing Jesus and Mohamed. People say, Bill, you talked about Muslims killing people, Christians killed people too. It's like, okay, let's not compare followers. Let's compare founders. Yeah. So the largest religion in the world is Christianity, about a third. Second largest religion in the world is Islam, about, you know, 27%. And, and then you have, you know, 16% unaffiliated. And then Hindus and then Buddhists down to 0.2% Jewish. But the two largest religion in the world, Jesus never killed anybody. Mohamed killed an estimated 3000 people. Jesus never owned slaves. Mohamed owned slaves. He was a white Arab. Jesus raised the dead. Mohamed put down the death. Jesus never tortured anybody. Mohamed conquered the city of Kaibar. The chief wouldn't tell where the treasure was hidden. And Mohamed had him stretched out on the ground. They kindled a fire on his chest. Jesus did not permit lying. Mohamed permitted lying. He had chiefed in planning on attacking. He goes to his men who will rid me of the chief. And one will said, I will, if you permit me to lie. So he goes to the chief and said, I've left Mohamed. He's a heritage. I want to help you, but they're after me. And the chief said, you can spend the night in my tent. Yeah, good luck with that. Middle of the night, he'd be heads the chief and grand gives his head moment. Because in Islam, you can lie to advance the interest of Mohamed or Allah. And so first three centuries of Christianity, there's ten major persecutions and the Christians never had a armed defense against Rome. First three centuries of Islam, they conquered from Arabia to Paris. Jesus said, go to a town. They don't receive you, shake the dust leaves. Mohamed, go to a town. They don't receive you, wage war on the town. Kill them all. And then it's interesting that Jesus taught Kaibos or father in Islam. It's blasphemy to call Allah your father. Jesus taught where children of God in Islam. It's blasphemy to call yourself a child of Allah. Because Allah took no wife and has no son. Jesus taught or made in the image you got in Islam. Allah has no image. Jesus taught to have a personal relationship with God in Islam. It's blasphemy to even want to have a personal relationship with Allah. Jesus gives you the assurance of salvation. A Muslim doesn't even know if he's going to make it, even if he blows himself up as a Shahid. Even Mohamed said, though I'm the prophet of Allah, I do not know what Allah will do with me. Exactly. So there's no security. And that brings up another thing. Sharia. So it's trying to be like Mohamed. The word Sharia means law. So Christians want to be like Jesus. Muslims want to be like Mohamed except Christians do not believe they go to heaven by being like Jesus. They go to heaven because they believe Jesus is down on the cross to pay for their sins. They want to live like Jesus to show the rest of the world how much they love gratitude and thanks and love. In Islam, their chances of going to paradise are proportional to how closely they can follow Muhammad is exact. He wore a seven-century tunic. I'm going to wear one. Wear a robe. And wear the sandals. And so what Mohamed permitted is permitted. It is called halal. So he did not permit is not permitted. It's called haram. So Mohamed liked cats. They are halal. They're permitted. Mohamed did not like dogs. They're haram. No dogs. And so Islam is a long list. That's a big clue. It's a long list of halals and rum. And the local Imam keeps the list. It's a religion of do's and don'ts. And then you say, well, I want to know why is this haram? I'm sorry. You cannot ask why. You cannot ask why? But I really want to know why. If you ask again, I'll kill you. Because if you're asking too many questions, you're doubting. And if you doubt you're an infidel unbeliever and then you get killed. And so most Muslims don't even know why they do stuff. It is just a religion of do's and don'ts. Specifically for the women. And so that's another thing in Christianity. We have women in the choir. Right. And some of the most beautiful praise songs are women singing it. In Islam, if a dog, a donkey or a woman passes between you and Mecca when you're praying, your prayers are invalidated. Exactly. And a woman, a woman in Islam is an animal that has been created for our gratification and pleasure. Her testimony, you need two women to produce the testimony equal to one man. And yet here's the demonic. And I know we need to wrap this up. Here's the demonic breeze to it all is why would people gravitate toward Islam? That's a great question. It's insane. Why would people gravitate toward Islam? There's only one explanation and it is demonic deception, deception. So if you think Islam is cool, you've been deceived. You're allowing yourself to be deceived or you've intentionally went down that path, but especially a woman. I mean, you think about it. Why would a woman gravitate toward Islam? Bill, in the last, I know you've got so much. It does give a community support group. If you're in, you're going to need the community. But if you leave, the community will kill you. It's very gang-like. You join the MS-13 gang, but blood in, blood out. If you know, you can get killed. Wow. So listen, we're going to wrap this up. Where can people get more of your information, your prolific author, the books? Is there a simple one-stop shop where they can go? Yeah, it's americanminute.com. Americanminute.com. I would like to throw in Isaiah 61, a friend of mine has ministry to Muslims. And this is one they have no counter to. Tell us. What Jesus said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because He is an enemy to preach the gospel of the poor to heal the broken hearted. There's no concept in Islam that all wants to heal your broken heart. And so we have to remember that they are a human made in the image of God with the God-sized vacuum on the inside. And so Islam is the religion of Cain. Cain wanted to worship God, but it was through works. We know that because God told Adam the ground is cursed for your sake. You'll bring forth through by the sweat of your brows. What is when Cain's works were rejected, his countenance fell his pride. His pride was hurt. He was embarrassed in front of his community, his mom, dad, and brother. And so he gets fill full of hatred and wants to commit the first honor killing. He kills his brother Abel who embarrassed him in front of his Umah community. Abel trusted in the lamb. And the Scottism one side, he's just wearing the other side where sinners and the lamb takes the judgment for the sins instead of us taking the judgment for the sins. So who saves them the Old Testament? The ones who believed in the sacrifice in the Lamb, who saved them the New Testament, those who believe in the Lamb. We just know his name to Jesus. So it's almost like the spiritual descendants of Cain are always trying to kill the spiritual descendants of Abel. Very insightful. Friends listen, you can go to the Americanminute.com.

This republic that we have is kept by our obedience to the Lord and to the laws in which God gave us from a Judeo-Christian worldview as our founding fathers gave us. And that's what made us one of the, or if not the greatest nation on the face of the earth. God was first. Let's put God first again. And let's remember Jesus Christ died into cross for our sins and rose again from the dead. Salvation is found in him and him alone. Until next time, God bless.
