Who can we believe? Is stated policy and objectives enough to separate fact from fiction? In today's threatening climate, filled with axe-grinding viewpoint, multiple sources pummel our senses with daily doses of divergent viewpoints: warning of dangers and threats from Radical Islam, Moderate Islam, and Peaceful Islam. Then, we receive alerts on not only imported terrorists and exported terrorists, but homegrown terrorists as well. So what is the truth about terrorist incentives and dangers?
Middle Eastern cauldrons roil a centuries-old brew filled with ethnic bigotry and radical ideologies, black with mythical residue, and overflowing with religious rancor. Seething kettles flood the world with unsavory radicalisms and inflame mankind's wounded ego to the exclusion of reason. Howbeit, the brew brings civilization dangerously close to global conflict. Inevitably, acquiring detritus from more anciently eroded god mountains, the pot overflows and sweeps ever onward to inundate all in acrimonious diversity. Three monotheisms overflow from the constantly heated Middle Eastern kettles. From these wind-swept clines and tortured landscapes; each monotheism branch strictly opposes the other two in developed conscience and irrational dedication.
Evolved from the ancient rocks, flora, and harsh desert sands, a primitive mindset separates peoples into opposing camps, each trusting in an invented and unresponsive god. Naivete continues despite god indifference, and many perceive god omnipotence to rule over element, ailment, and unrelenting mortality; thus, ignorance and primitiveness prevails in modern settings. Pertinent to immediate concerns, Judaism-Christian-Islam disciplines radiate outside the original God-covenant time frame; each monotheism branch hoards its own special God sanctions, outside the ancient Hebrew milieu, and each denies benefit to the other two like-minded and egocentric inventions.
As we study terrorist legions, ripened on status quo legal-historicisms, philosophy must investigate its cruel origins and developed incentive; which origins are basis for today's widespread violence. Apropos to Judeo-Christian opposition and following the Israeli Messiah, Islam was born on a surrogate mother's knees -- six hundred years late and drawing nourishment from metaphysical gardens already depleted and abandoned. Yet, Mohammed redirected the concept and cultivated a new sprout in the sparse oasis grove at Mecca. Unremarkable in genesis, Islam rapidly grew under the bandit chief's sword. But Mohammed's cleverness was not unprecedented; already, two usurpations had grown to dominance in the centuries earlier; which arrogations followed the seed line's drive to complete Ten Ages fulfillment.
Not to be outdone, Mohammed used every device to gain power over an ignorant and superstitious people, including the use of torture, murder, dismemberment, rape, robbery, pedophilia, lying, treachery, slavery, and genocide. If any disagree with this characterization, then please consult the Sunnah (Mohammed examples) evidenced and recorded by Ibn Ishaq, Bukhari, Tabari, and Muslim in the Hadith assemblies.
In this present emergency, Qur'an ignorance is inexcusable--as is any opinion or criticism resulting from unenlightened prejudice. In monotheism's volatile ambiance, legal-historical evidence should be read with care, realizing its immutability; moreover, critique should direct utmost attention to the validity of witness and principal sensitivity.
Only slightly removed from Stone Age anaclisis, still throwing rocks and sticks, Middle Eastern zealots develop, market, and enforce three deceptive, but clever theocratic tools to further the same political aspirations as those who first promoted these primitive attractions. Thus, hardly improved from anciently austere conditions, mankind still labors under dark and troubling existentialisms.
Can we save ourselves from this ancient curse? It is not likely, but we can try! Have you studied the cruelty and inhumanity abundantly sanctioned in Bible, Qur'an, Torah, and Hadith? Can each discuss the contents with intellectual panoply? If we cannot, then we become part of the problem! The First Monotheism embraced Temple worship, sacrifice and oblation, and flourished in the populated world's tiniest corner. With unchanged ordinances, a 'chosen people,' by definition, march on still, but tardy to a Hebrew God theocracy already terminated; further, modern Judaism was extrapolated from the 'end of all things.' Next, a Second Monotheism was born into present Christian expedience. Centuries passed, and a Third Monotheism emanated from a site later to become Mecca, where previously, Hagar and Ishmael slacked their thirst at an isolated oasis spring.
More centuries pass, and much blood soaked the world's furthest corners. Chattel and human cargo were heartlessly used as exchange, as the price of evangelistic fervor. Jewish writings furnished the template for modern Christian and encroaching Islam. They are at war! And only in Jihad, fighting or dying for Allah, does Islam exonerate those guilty of peaceful conduct. 'Peaceful' Muslims are denied Paradise rewards in the Hadith, for peaceful Muslims pervert the Mohammed example: "... Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim." Qur'an 2.190.
We cannot hope to cover the entire scope of madness and man's blind devotion to unreason and illogic. Here, we only scratch the surface; this problem is much greater than can be addressed in this small article. Readers are urged to become more visible and educated on resolution of the present danger and threat to civilization. Further writings are available on this very important subject and to the authenticity and validity of the modern religion conflict. Resolution for secrets and dangers never before seriously contemplated can be realized through concentrated study of the instruments inciting the masses to violence.
We must learn to set aside political correctness and patently address the growing profile of terror.
Ben Winter, particles physicist, Bible scholar, and author of "THE GREAT DECEPTION: Symbols And Numbers Clarified," reveals there 'is' something new under the sun -- that is, for modern Bible students. He addresses correctness of language and true intent of the major Bible topics: solves Bible mysteries, defines Gog and Magog, reveals Daniel He-goat's surprising identity, and dares to number the all important Ten Ages.
