WE’RE AT WAR
“Over the rest of this decade, the divide between radical Islam and the
industrial democracies will become the most destabilizing factor in world
affairs.”
1
—JOSEPH DE COURCY
“The governments of the world should know that Islam cannot be defeated.
Islam will be victorious in all the countries of the world, and Islam and the
teachings of the Koran will prevail all over the world.”
—AYATOLLAH RUHOLLAH KHOMEINI OF IRAN
THE VIDEO SHOWS the tortured face of American Daniel Pearl, a
news reporter with the Wall Street Journal. He was captured after being lured to
meet with a London-educated Muslim he had met before. The American is
forced to confess on camera, “My father is a Jew, my mother is a Jew, and I am a
Jew.” Then suddenly a hand with a knife appears on the video screen and slashes
his throat. Then his head is sawed off with a dull knife and held aloft by a hand
in front of the camera. The video cuts to hooded murderers who repeatedly stab
the lifeless corpse. The final scene cuts to Pearl’s severed head lying on a pile of
newspapers as a message scrolls across the screen: “If our demands are not met,
there will be more like this.”
The Muslim terrorist who actually cut off Pearl’s head was later captured and,
under interrogation, confessed that he committed this horrible murder. His name
is Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, and he is the principal planner of al Qaeda’s
attacks on 9/11. This linkage demonstrates that hatred toward Jews is a shared
hatred against Americans.
Islamic terrorists chose Daniel Pearl to slaughter for one reason— he was a
Jew. The gory details of his videotaped murder are further evidence of the
maniacal hatred that animates the movement to which the terrorists belong—
Islamic Fundamentalism. But this particular butchery is but one of thousands of
brutalities committed by Muslim zealots throughout history—and all for the
same cause: They hate Jews with a visceral, bone-deep hatred that is almost
impossible for the Western civilization to comprehend. In fact, this hatred goes
back to the dawn of recorded history.
IMPERATIVE QUESTIONS
On September 11, 2001, Americans were suddenly thrust into the middle of this
hatred, which is part of an ancient family feud. In actuality, we were involved in
this conflict long before we realized its magnitude and the great danger it poses
to our nation. But since September 11, Americans have been frantically groping
to understand what is at stake. Many questions continue to be asked following
the initial shock of those horrible first days and their aftermath.
In light of recent events, not just Americans but also the whole of Western
Judeo-Christian-based civilization is now asking questions such as:
Why do Muslims hate Jews?
Did this hatred begin, as Muslims today claim, with the Zionist movement
and the creation of the state of Israel, or is there evidence of this animus in
history past?
Why do Muslim fundamentalists hate the United States and call it “the great
Satan”?
Why do Muslim terrorists willingly sacrifice their lives to kill Americans?
Do Muslims hate America only because of our support of Israel, or is there
evidence that supports other possible motivations?
Will Islamic terrorists gain access to weapons of mass destruction? If so, will
they use them on the United States?
Could terrorist organizations imperil the very survival of the United States?
This book intends to answer questions such as these on the basis of relevant
Biblical and Islamic texts, as well as by examining the history of Jewish-Muslim
relations. But in addition to this first set of queries, there are even more
foundational questions about Islam itself that this book will seek to answer, such
as:
Are there calls for violence and conquest in the Koran and in the equally
authoritative traditions recorded in the Hadith?
What does the Koran teach about Judaism and Christianity?
Are Islamic fundamentalists an aberration of the Muslim religion, or are they
—as they claim—the true followers of Mohammad?
Does the example of Mohammad’s life teach us the true meaning of the
Koran?
What can we learn from the history of Muslim conquests? Were these
conquests due to misinterpretations of the Koran or were they actually
commanded by it?
Can we get insights into Mohammad from his forefathers Ishmael and
Kedar?
The Muslim religion is tightly interwoven with the culture of the seventh-
century Arabian Peninsula. Are there aspects of that distant culture that shed
light on current Muslim beliefs and behavior?
New Peril We Face
More than at any time since the Crusades, Islam poses a serious threat to the
whole of Western Judeo-Christian civilization. Nations of the European Union
(EU) and NATO are now being seriously threatened from within by a rapidly
expanding and demanding Muslim population that is bent upon forcing Islamic
Sharia law upon their host nations. Similarly, the United States and Israel now
face in Islam the greatest threat to their survival.
As the chapter title declares, “We’re at War.” I warned repeatedly in 1991 that,
with the fall of the Soviet Union, the greatest danger facing the world was no
longer communism, but the revival of Islamic Fundamentalism. But I must
confess that I wasn’t fully aware of just how great a threat this would pose to the
Western world.
How Nice the Old Enemy Looks Now
During the Cold War, we faced an enemy that was somewhat conventional. The
Soviets were at work through operatives spreading the gospel of communism
around the world. We fought their surrogates in Korea, Vietnam, and South
America. They possessed nuclear weapons and had several means of delivering
them accurately on target. They also had biological and chemical weapons of
mass destruction (WMD) that could kill most of the world’s population.
But during the fifty-year Cold War era, there were certain rational constants
that helped prevent nuclear annihilation. If the United States were to be struck by
any WMD possessed by the Soviet Union or one of its surrogates, we knew
where and how to retaliate. They knew that to attack us meant an instant end of
their civilization as well.
In short, as terrible as the prospects of nuclear war were, tenuous world
stability was maintained by the doctrine of MAD-Mutually Assured Destruction.
MEET THE NEW ENEMY
With the new threat, however, we are confronted by entirely new dimensions of
antagonism with enormously greater dangers. We no longer face a political force
but a religion that has an estimated 1.4 billion followers worldwide. This religion
produces an alarming number of passionate followers who believe it is their duty
to Allah to die as martyrs in the pursuit of conquest against those who would
restrain Islam from subjecting the world to their religion.
Today Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world. And the increasingly
radical fundamentalist Muslim represents not only the greatest threat to world
peace and stability, but also the greatest challenge to the Western world, much of
it now secularized but with roots in Judeo-Christian theism.
To appreciate the growing power and influence of Islam, you must look
beyond the population figures. Muslims now control, to some extent, about fifty
of the world’s most important countries—from Indonesia in the East, through the
oil rich states of the Middle East, to Senegal on the Atlantic. These countries
control vast wealth and unappreciated commercial resources.
At least seventy of the world’s 184 countries are considered part of the Dar-al
Islam—the “House of Islam,” land over which Islam rules. It is a religion
practiced in the jungles of Africa, the sands of the Sahara, the oil fields of the
Middle East, the mountains of Asia, and the islands of the Pacific. Islam is
increasingly making its impact felt in traditionally Christian parts of the world.
Mosques Replacing Churches in the West
In “Bonny Old England” today there are more Muslims than Methodists. There
are even more Muslims than there are evangelical Christians, and more active
2
mosques than churches.
“Funded by the vast resources of Arab oil money, the Muslims are buying
abandoned Anglican Churches and turning them into mosques at such a rate that
some Muslims claim that England will soon be the first Muslim European
country,” writes author Robert Morey.
Islam is especially rapidly growing in Australia, Canada, Germany, Denmark,
Norway, Holland, France, Spain, and the United States. There are an estimated
six to eight million Muslims in the United States.
The latest demonstration of Islam’s growing power is the Muslim demand to
build a mosque a few blocks from “Ground Zero,” in the precincts of the
destroyed World Trade Center. Islamists have issued such threats of violent
retaliation for perceived insults to the Koran and Mohammad that America is
virtually intimidated into allowing Muslims religious liberties beyond those
granted followers of other religions. Muslims are successfully bullying their way
into extracting all kinds of religious concessions from our government.
Fundamentalisms the Real Threat
At least 10 percent of the 1.4 billion Muslims are fundamentalists and therefore
are potential terrorist threats. And intelligence information indicates the
percentage of fundamentalists is growing. History shows that the devout Muslim
fundamentalists are one of the most lethal threats the world has ever known.
In contrast to the old enemy of the Cold War era, the new one is irresistibly
motivated in the cause of Allah to become a “martyr,” or a homicide/suicide
bomber. Young men are promised the highest place in paradise with seventy-two
beautiful virgins willing to fulfill every fantasy as soon as the Jihadis die as
martyrs for Islam. This is a heady wine that attracts unlimited numbers of
volunteers to hurl themselves against the “unbelievers”—especially the United
States. Not even the Japanese Kamikaze pilots of World War II can compare
with the danger these Islamic zealots pose. And the chilling news is that the
fundamentalists are on the brink of possessing the most destructive weapons the
world has ever known, thanks to certain terrorist-sponsoring Muslim countries
like Iran.
Pakistan has many who have aided al Qaeda terrorists, assistance that includes
sheltering them from U.S. troops fighting them in Afghanistan. And the father of
Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, Dr. Abdul Khader Khan, has been exposed for
providing nuclear technology and aid to Iran and Libya. According to former
Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit, Khan offered his nuclear knowledge to Algeria,
