The Brewing Storm of Islam PT 2
Convincing Americans The Crusades Are The Cause of Violence Against The West
By Lisa Richards
November 16, 2009
In his 1920 book In The Meaning of the Crusade, G.K. Chesterton writes:
“Christendom might quite reasonably have been alarmed if it had not been
attacked. But as a matter of history it had been attacked. The Crusader
would have been quite justified in suspecting the Moslem even if the
Moslem had merely been a new stranger; but as a matter of history he was
already an old enemy. The critic of the Crusade talks as if it had sought
out some inoffensive tribe or temple in the interior of Thibet, which was
never discovered until it was invaded. They seem entirely to forget that
long before the Crusaders had dreamed of riding to Jerusalem, the Moslems
had almost ridden into Paris.”
Westerners have been brainwashed into believing the Crusades were unjust,
racist wars, started by radical Catholics intent on purging the world of
Arabs. The Crusades have been depicted in BBC, A&E, and History Channel
specials by Terry Jones and Steve Runciman as terrorism against Muslims.
This misconception has implemented false guilt into Catholics and
Protestants, causing the church to preach tolerance toward a death-based
religion, making popes apologize for the Crusades, convincing the West to
accept death by Islam, claiming terrorism is the result of Christians
justly defending themselves.
Christians have been force-fed guilt, convincing themselves if Crusaders
can be falsely proven evil, modern-day pc-myths will be justified, thus
making beheadings of non-Muslims justified rather than religious practice
(Qur’an 4:76, 9:29, 9:73, 47:4). The reason is Christianity does not
preach death, rather love and forgiveness; therefore, Christians are
hard-pressed to accept that any religion could possibly command death upon
unbelievers.
Islam is a racist, murder-based religion, Christianity is not. Christ
allowed himself to be executed for all mankind, Mohammad went on a rampage
throughout the Middle East, slaughtering innocents who refused to convert
to Islam. Christ converted through love, disciples were told to walk away
from anyone refusing to hear Christ’s message. Apostles were imprisoned
for preaching, not murdering. Paul’s letters never speak of murdering
unbelievers, he wrote the opposite throughout his Epistles: love.
Mohammad wrote of death in the Koran and converted by-way-of the
sword-slaughter: Qur’an 2:190-193, 9:5, 47:4).
Catholics have been condemned by their own religion and shamed into
hanging their heads for something Islam started and Catholics were forced
to defend against: the decimation of the West by Muslims.
Modern-day history books wipe out the truth, replacing it with political
correctness, demanding Christians apologize for Islam slaughtering Jews
and Christians since 700 AD. But what about facts proving otherwise,
facts still alive in ancient documents proving Islam is not a “religion of
peace,” but entirely radical and deadly? What about proof Islam ravaged
Europe, massacred Christians and Jews for centuries, before Christians
stood up and justly fought back?
University of St. Louis Crusade historian Professor Thomas F. Madden
debunks liberal pc myths that infiltrated Western schools and politics:
“Misconceptions about the Crusades are all too common… [and] generally
portrayed as a series of holy wars against Islam led by power-mad popes
and fought by religious fanatics.” The opposite is true: the Crusades
were fought in defense against “Muslim aggression.” Christians were not
“paranoid fanatics” as liberals and Muslims falsely claim. Muslims were
in fact hell-bent on taking over the West, conquering it and forcing
conversion or execution: expanding westward was done by the sword
(thearma.org).
Madden points out in his essay “The Real History of the Crusades:” “…in
traditional Islam, Christian and Jewish states must be destroyed and their
lands conquered…The Christian world, therefore, was a prime target for the
earliest caliphs, and it would remain so for Muslim leaders for the next
thousand years (thearma.org).”
There are peaceful Muslims trying to leave Islam for Christianity, but
they are being murdered in Sharia ritual “honor killings,” an Islamic law
dictating Muslims who leave Islam, marry or date outside the religion,
must be killed (Qur’an 16:106). The reason for such radical beliefs,
Professor Madden writes, is Islam itself: “Islam was born in war and grew
the same way. From the time of Mohammed, the means of Muslim expansion
was always the sword.” Madden notes from historical accounts that:
Muslim thought divides the world into two spheres, the Abode of Islam and
the Abode of War. Christianity—and for that matter any other non-Muslim
religion— has no abode. Christians and Jews can be tolerated within a
Muslim state under Muslim rule. But, in traditional Islam, Christian
and Jewish states must be destroyed and their lands conquered. When
Mohammed was waging war against Mecca in the seventh century,
Christianity was the dominant religion of power and wealth. As the
faith of the Roman Empire, it spanned the entire Mediterranean,
including the Middle East, where it was born. The Christian world,
therefore, was a prime target for the earliest caliphs, and it would
remain so for Muslim leaders for the next thousand years.
Nothing has changed in 1400 years: Muslims continue waging war and
terrorizing the world. The only difference today is Westerners are forced
to apologize for self-defense against murder. If the Crusaders were not
Christian they would be ignored as poor defendants of their countries.
Making Christians apologize for the Crusades is like claiming Hitler had
to gas six million Jews to save German banks from Jewish occupation. If
Hitler had not broken his pact with Stalin, Jews would be forced to
apologize for the Holocaust. Now they are forced to apologize for living
in Israel and Palestine, land Islam wants by force.
Palestine was mostly Christian during Mohammad’s lifetime, as well as
after, until Muslim armies rode in, murdering and conquering it, Syria,
Egypt and “all of Christian North Africa and Spain.” Seljuk Turks
conquered Christian Asia Minor, the old Christian Roman Empire became
Byzantine after it was attacked and Christians were slaughtered (Qur’an
2:191). The emperor begged the West for help because Islam was decimating
every nation it rode into (Madden, The Concise History of the Crusades and
The New Concise History of the Crusades).
Modern-day Christians and secularists fear insulting Islam, but Islam is
not afraid to lie about its bloody religious history in order to gain
access to every nation. Modern liberal thought has the West cowering in
shame for doing the right thing 1000 years ago: fighting murderers
destroying the world they still want to take over.
In 1095, 400 years after the slaughter began, Pope Urban II, sent knights
out to stop Islamic invasions. It took 400 years for Christians to
realize God is not against defending life. Islam’s objective was subdue
and convert. Those who refused were decimated (Jonathan Riley-Smith
http://www.grailwerk.com/docs/The%20Economist_files/frameset_files/CAKTQB89.html)
According to 12th century Muslim historian Ibn al-Athir, who wrote The
Complete History, Muslims ravaged France and Spain: “ In 177 (April 17,
793), Hisham, [the Muslim] prince of Spain, sent a large army commanded by
Abd al-Malik b. Abd al-Wahid b. Mugith into
enemy territory, and…made forays as far as Narbonne and Jaranda (Gerona).
. . . For several months he traversed this land in every direction, raping
women, killing warriors, destroying fortresses, burning and pillaging
everything, driving back the enemy who fled in
disorder. He returned safe and sound, dragging behind him God knows how
much booty.”
Bill Clinton turned 9/11 into a simple act of retaliation by apologizing
for the Crusades.
Apologies have rendered Christians handicapped with fear and the world in
peril.
As Madden points out:
“…it was usually asserted that Crusaders were merely lacklands and
ne’er-do-wells who took advantage of an opportunity to rob and pillage
in a faraway land…During the past two decades, computer-assisted charter
studies have demolished that contrivance. Scholars have discovered that
crusading knights were generally wealthy men with plenty of their own
land in Europe…they willingly gave up everything to undertake the holy
mission…They did so not because they expected material wealth (which
many of them had already) but because they hoped to store up treasure
where rust and moth could not corrupt…A few people got rich, but the
vast majority returned with nothing.”
Ancient documents prove the Crusades were justly fought in self-defense.
Urban’s main objective in fighting was to rescue enslaved Christians and
free Jerusalem. Pope Innocent III wrote: “How does a man love according
to divine precept his neighbor as himself when, knowing that his Christian
brothers in faith and in name are held by the perfidious Muslims in strict
confinement and weighed down by the yoke of heaviest servitude, he does
not devote himself to the task of freeing them? …Is it by chance that
you do not know that many thousands of Christians are bound in slavery and
imprisoned by the Muslims, tortured with innumerable torments?”
Crusade historian Dr. Jonathan Riley-Smith notes if you are to love your
neighbor, you must protect those being massacred, you lay down your life
for them as Pope Innocent told his Templars and John told first century
Christians. Islam prefers wearing explosive backpacks and committing
suicide while taking everyone with them.
Muslims and secularists constantly twist Old Testament wars, saying they
were massacres by aggressive Jews. The entire Biblical proves otherwise:
Israelite wars were always in self-defense.
Liberals and Muslims need ways to guilt Christians into allowing
themselves, and Israel, to be slaughtered. It is easier to drink Cool-Aid
when you believe it is vitamin water. Such pc myth is what led to 9/11:
tolerating intolerance.
Constantine Ivanov ADDS: I dare offer an “addendum” to Lisa’s columns about Islam.
My addendum may seem a little strange but it is based on proven historical facts ONLY.
I wrote in in 2004, thus it’s about Islam in general.
Hopefully, these two poems may enrich the reader with some important additional facts.
For the best result 
, I strongly recommend to read the dates as it is shown in the references below.
For instance: 610 A.D. must be uttered as “Six hundred ten”, etc.
CHRONOLOGY OF ISLAMIC EXPANSION
(Think of this poem as if it is a Classroom Billboard)

*************************************
Preamble
My dear readers, listeners, and friends!
Please realize: this verse is not a lesson,
Although I’ve tried to trace historic trends,
There’s still some stuff I have been forced to lessen.
A calendar-like table would make sense
To prove the facts and make perception easy.
Some people treat my poems as offence,
But I don’t want to make the story pleasing.
**************************************
610 A.D.1– Mohámmed has been taught
By God’s command “to preach the true religion”.
622 A.D.2 – for sake of God
To fight the foes of Moslems was his vision.
628 A.D.3 – by his allies,
A war against the Christians has been started.
632 A.D.4 – Mohámmed dies;
Arabia became by Islam charted.
635 5 – the Moslem forces jumped
the Persian land in bloody Háfir battle.
636 6– al-Kháttab has now thumped
Byzantium*; then Palestine was rattled.7
Next year – Mesopotamia was seized,
The land of nations first civilization.
640 8 – Syria and Egypt fell to beast:
al-Kháttab kept Islam colonization.
698 9 – North Africa’s turn came:
a launching pad for further occupations.
More thirteen years – and Europe is in flame:
Rodrigo’s Kingdom’s worst anticipations.
The next year was the end of Visigoths:
Rodrigo was defeated by the Muslims.
827 10 – Moors brought Arabs God
To Sicily and Rome with their customs.
1258 11 – Hulágu, Mongol Khan,
Kills Abdulláh, the last Abbásids Caliph.
Instead, Islamic Mamluks Turkic clan
Enforces Ottoman Empire’s value.
The Seljuk Turks expansion has provoked
A sharp response from Christian Western Europe:
1097 12 – part of West unyoked;
Crusaders did not want the Turks to gallop.
1204 13 – The Forth Crusade conquered
Constantinople, Eastern Christians sire.
Seljukian successors still have sprawled;
For hundreds years the world was set afire.
1236 14 – now Russia is subdued
By Khan Batú, another Mongol Leader.
Next, Génghis Khan’s grandson, with promptitude,
Invaded Europe, Muslims throne big feeder!
From China to the Adriatic Sea
The “Tartar” conqueror’s Empire’s swollen.
Now the entire Western world can see:
The normal life of culture has been stolen.
The Golden Horde has ruled two hundred years
Until the Khánate has become a vassal:
Almighty Ottoman Empire spears
Put all Islamic branches in a hassle.
Five hundred sixty years ago – the Turks *
Have nearly crushed the Coalition Army.
Southeastern Europe’s stabbed by Turkish dirks;
Obsessed-by-squabbles Europe’s doleful karma!
In 1453 15, the Ottomans
Established Anatolia Empire;
About five hundred years those Ahrimans
Made southern Europe and Mideast bemire.
There is much more what one can tell about:
The Cáliph ar-Rashíd, and Marco Polo…
But our task is different this bout,
And we still have the main point yet to follow.
Eighth century – a new religious sect,
Which took the name ad-Dáwa al-Jadéda,
Was actually a group of brigands “wrecked”,
Who used a dagger as a “fair-haireda”**.
Those Shia Nízaris, called fedayéen,
Which means, in fact, “a person who is ready
To sacrifice his life for his sect dean”,
Put the entire world into an eddy.
They set the brisk Afghanistan Silk Road
Into a trap to plant Islamic Order.
1090 16– they established an abode
In fortress Álamut for teaching murder.
Hassán-i Sábbah, founder of the sect,
The charismatic leader of Hashsháshin,
Devised some tricks he put into effect
To make each member wish to train in bashing.
By training, they’re subjected to the rites
As those in which a member got a feeling
Of looming danger of a death and fights,
But wakes by Heaven feast with virgins kneeling.
Such mystery hallucination stemmed
From drugging supplicants, which makes them willing
To see again those Heaven Houris gemmed,
And follow Sábbah’s orders, simply killing.
My tour into the history is done.
So, who they are, those sectaries Hashsháshin?
From Marco Polo to the recent dawn,
We know them now quite simply as Assassins.

A HISTORY LESSON
(What our 2003 invasion of Iraq means for the Civilization)

Preamble
My dear readers, listeners, and friends!
Please realize: this verse is not a lesson,
Although I’ve tried to trace historic trends,
There’s some stuff I have been forced to lessen.
************************************
Dark clouds, dark coastline, and dark times
Encouraged Berber’s leader
Defeating Spanish Christian chimes,
And be Islamic feeder.
Muézzins screech has overturned
Short-life Rodrigo’s kingdom;
Eight hundred years the Culture burned,
Suppressed by Moors, and dwindled.
The Muslim conquerors have ruled
Until the Middle Ages.
Then, they surrendered, wooed and fooled:
Granada was courageous.
What Europe earned, what Europe learned
From life of Spanish people?
Alhambra has been raised, and World
Became a moral cripple.
Another Moors achievement was
They gave Shakespeare “Othello”.
But else…what else can win applause?
An Arab playing cello?
Moroccans, Arabs, and so forth, –
They taught historic lesson;
That’s why again Islamic hordes
Replaced the soul by crescent.
They took all Europe, Middle East,
Constantinople’s fallen.
By Ottoman Empire’s fist
The Freedom has been stolen.
New danger from the Eastern world:
The Golden Horde’s been settled.
Long years, until the yoke’s been hurled,
The continent was nettled.
The Suras swot led by imams;
Like mortars, aiming asses;
They learn to kill, forgetting moms,
But moms themselves take classes.
Traditions of Assassins schools
Are spread by propaganda;
Oh World! Wake up! They nurture ghouls.
We see pro-pagan gun’s dawn.
Regain your consciousness, my friends!
Digest the gloomy lesson!
Islam is not a peaceful trend:
Since birth, it was aggressive.
Please find me any Holy text
That teaches killing kuffar*!
Vedanta? Bible? Zen? What next?
Come on, don’t spin a cuffer!
I wonder: what “peace lovers” miss?
Their fathers lost poor Europe:
Those did not hear the Nazis hiss,
These hope for parley syrup?
Naivety has never helped
To solve a major problem;
Don’t spend your time for having whelped
Just Hollywood freak pablum.
We want to live? We have to fight
To save Civilization.
Against us – rabid Moslems’ might,
And we are on probation.
