America's Enemies

Let's face it. We have many enemies...We are being attacked by two fronts and by two different kinds of foe. The first one is foreign (from the outside) and the second is domestic (from within). As far as the foreign enemies as everyone knows we have been fighting the war on terrorism for years, but what many believe is that we are fighting against Islam. But it is not the true Islamic people or the Islam of the prophet Muhammad. No what we are fighting is a certain group within the Islamic faith, not Islam itself. A true Muslim would respect the beliefs and ideologies of other people and their religeons. They are truly spiritual and peaceful people. We have a group within Iran (radicals) who use Islam as their shield for their greed and personal gain. Muslims believe in all the Christian and Jewish prophets such as Moses, Abraham and Daniel. And although they do not believe that Jesus was the son of God, but merely a very important prophet. So therefore, a true Muslim would never wish to harm others.

In 628 AD, a delegation from St. Catherine's Monastery came to Prophet Muhammad and requested his protection. He responded by granting them a charter of rights, which I reproduced below in its entirety. St.Catherine's Monastery is located at the foot of Mt. Sinai and is the world's oldest monastery. It possesses a huge collection of Christian Manuscripts (second only to the Vatican) and is a world heritage site. It also boasts the oldest collection of Christian icons. It is a treasure house of Christian history that has remained safe for over 1,400 years under Muslim protection.

This is a message from Muhammad Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them. Verily I, the servants, the helpers and my followers, defend them, because Christains are my citizens, and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them. No compulsion is to be on them.

Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs or their monks from their monasteries. No one is to destroy a house of their religeon, damage it or to carry anything from it to Muslim houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God's covenant and disobey his Prophet. Verily they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate. No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them. If a female christain is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting the church to pray. Their churches are to be respected.

They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants. No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenants until the last day. "End of the World"

So therefore, we are not being attacked by Islam, but rather radicals within.
