THE CONQUERING ISLAM!

THE CONQUERING ISLAM.

Islam as a religion has come along way, from a small village in Mecca a young man who was too ambitious and had the urge to conquer started what was later to be the second largest religion in the world.

The evolution of Islam is evident throughout the years; Prophet Mohammed (s.a.a.w) started a religion by the sword and got followers through the sword. He went from Mecca to Medina then to Jerusalem with a sword in his hand. He killed and took as slaves all those who refused to convert to Islam. Many through fear converted to Islam.

At first Islam religion revolved around Mohammed, it started and ended with Mohammed (s.a.a.w). He forbade marrying more than four wives save for him, as he has more than ten wives, at times he even forbade his followers to pick slaves from a town they had conquered until he picks first! The reason behind this might be that he wanted what was the best for himself!

Islam grew and came to be known as a religion of blood and the one that promoted slave trade. It was full of self, where everything was about “me” ‘myself’ and ‘I’ thus individualism.

As the years pass by, we are experiencing many people turning to Islam. Islam is now coming from becoming a religion of Arabs and Somalis to a religion of all human being. This was evident in recent census carried out in Kenya where Islam is among the key religions. How many of us could believe that the name Mohammed is the most common name in the world!! That many parents prefer to call their sons Mohammed than any other name even the names of Bible prophets and apostles are not as commonly used as Mohammed!!

In our world today, many people are associating with Islam. I remember the days when we could not attend classes with Muslims, the days when Muslim ladies could not shake hands with non-Muslim me, the days when Muslim lined in their own different estates. The question is, is Islam conquering the world? Is it achieving what Christianity failed?

In the United States of America, there were days when no one could even bate that a person with a Muslim name could be the President! No one could have imagined that! When Barrack Hussein Obama was running for presidency, many thought that his name could be a disadvantage but it did not!

In Kenya, no one could have imagined that Muslims could rise to hold key positions in the government. No one could have imagined that main cities in Kenya could one day be taken and managed by Muslims! No one could have imagined that one day a Muslim university will be built in Kenya!

THE ISLAM STRATEGY.

After along period of using the sword as a tool of conversion, Muslims realized that they could not achieve much. With the existing laws of the land and constitutions, they discovered that they could face criminal charges if they use a sword. Thus a new strategy was hatched, though am not sure if they discussed the strategy or if it just happened spontaneously. But what am sure is that their approach is now different from yester years.

The Kadhis, Imams and Sheikhs who a few years ago, yelled ‘murder, slaughter and enslave the Kaffirs (Non Muslims)’ are now heard calling people to tolerance! What happened to the likes of Sheikh Balala of 1990’s who was one time extradicted from Kenya by the Kenyan Government? Apart from the late Sheikh Osama bin Laden and President Khomeni of Iran, majority of Muslims have recanted the call to sword. Listen to President Khomeni when he talks of non- Muslims (especially Israel and USA) and you will know what am talking about. It should be noted that though majority of Muslims have abandoned their “Call to sword” still their Holy Book maintains that non-muslims who refuse to convert should be killed by a sword! Thus is this change cosmetic and well designed for a period and a purpose? Only time will tell.

Christianity had a perfect opportunity to spread the pure Gospel of love as described in the Bible. But this Gospel was shattered by a few greedy watchmen who were appointed to look after the flock. Have you ever wondered where Muslims get all these money to buy and built mosques at the very heart of our cities? Take for example Kenyan’s capital city, Nairobi. Right at the centre of Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) there are two mosques (Jamia Mosque and Khodja Mosque) a plot of 50X100 feet at such a site can attract up to one billion Kenyan Shillings ($11.8 Million)! While in the whole Nairobi town excluding the suburbs, the only Christian church (am using Christian Church here to imply any church that calls Jesus as Christ regardless of their doctrine) building are two Roman Catholic Church (Holy Family Basilica and another opposite Muthurwa market) and one Salvation Army church! All other evangelical churches in Nairobi town have rented the premises they use for services! Is it that the Christian Churches don’t have money? The answer is NO! The problem of the Christian Church now is the same problem that made Islam to stagnate in yester years, greed, greed, greed. The pastors need to live in a class suburbs, he needs to drive the latest oil guzzler in town, he needs to eat well so as to get energy to minister, he need to wear the most expensive attire to show God’s blessing’s and the list goes on and on. The message in the Christian Church has been “plant a seed” “give and be blessed” “Buy this anointing oil,” ‘buy this blessed handkerchief’ people are becoming sick of this and when they discover that in Islam there is no such thing as ‘plant a seed’ they rush their in their millions. What Islam has done is developing mechanisms where financially stable people and even countries help those who are not able. This was evident in recent months when the Government of Kenya, uncovered that Billions of shillings were being donated by Muslims allover the world to build a mosque in East Leigh (Nairobi). Christian pastor’s instead of building church buildings with the donations they receive they use it for ‘me’ ‘I’ and ‘myself’ and thus the loose of grip.

Another strategy employed by Muslims is the liberalization of their religion. At first, Islam was only for Arabs and Somalis. It was difficult to find an Indian, or Luhya who is a Muslim! This was maintained with the fact that Muslim had their own schools, restaurants, estates etc. They never used to mix freely with non Muslims, and thus they became isolated and stagnant. What are your observations now? Muslims children and our children attend the same schools, Muslims are our neighbors in our estates, they come to buy products from our groceries etc. They are telling us without words that look we are just like you. But what are Christians doing? Busy building schools for their churches, schools that teaches their respective doctrines and expel any student who doesn’t abide by those doctrines! Am a product of a Sabbath keeping educational institution and I can confirm that the way the institution used to force non Sabbath keepers to keep the Sabbath made many of them to hate it more than before!!!

Sometimes I wonder, where did the saying “Our muslims brothers” came from? Yes we do refer to them us such and they do the same to us. I don’t deny the fact that we are brothers having a common Creator. But do you know that Islam’s Holy Book does not recognize a non-Muslim as a brother to a Muslim? The Christian Bible is very open as it talks about love in very comprehensive way. Does the “Our muslim brothers” amend the sentences contained in the Muslim Holy Book Does that saying supersedes the command to kill a non Muslim? What will happen when that command will be read and be implemented? Will that saying save us from that sword?

My dear brothers and Sister in Christ Jesus, all those who are partakers in the atoning blood of the lamb. The night has extended for so long and many are fumbling in darkness, thinking that they are on the way but they have strayed so far, time is now. Prophet Daniel enlightened us concerning the rise and spread of Islam. Behold it’s growing, that horn that Daniel saw exceedingly great is becoming great and great indeed.

“And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. {to: or, against}And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. {an host...: or, the host was given over for the transgression against the daily sacrifice} Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?  And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” Daniel 8:9-14.

Daniel saw a ram that was very strong pushing with it’s two horns, then latter came a he goat that had one strong horn without touching the ground and attacked the ram. The he goat defeated the ram and killed it, but the great horn broke and four horns arose in its place. Then latter another horn arose that grew exceedingly great and did great things.

The ram was the Kingdom of Medes and Persia, the he goat was the Kingdom of Greece and the great strong horn was the first king Alexander the Great, then the four horns were the four kings that arose after the death of Alexander the Great. The horn that arose and waxed exceedingly is Islam and Mohammed. (For a clear understanding of this and many prophecies request a book Daniel and Revelation By A.N.Dugger)

Read the Book of Daniel 8 to understand better, how the prophecy was revealed to Daniel. This prophecy was so great that after the interpretation was given to Daniel, he fainted and became sick for a number of days!! Don’t take this prophecy lightly it made Daniel to faint! (Daniel 8:27)

Are you prepared for the conquering Islam?
