Holy War or Luciferian?

A careful study of ancient history reveals that among all peoples of antiquity, war was linked with religion. In Roland deVaux’s volume titled “Ancient Israel”, we read;

 “It was begun [in pagan societies] at the command of the gods, or at least with their approval, manifested by omens; it was accompanied by sacrifices, and conducted with the help of the gods who ensured victory, for which they were thanked by an offering of part of the booty.” Then he adds this; “More strictly still, the holy war of Islam, the jihad, is the duty incumbent upon every Moslem to spread his faith by force of arms, by compulsion.”

This last notion of holy war, Islamic jihad, is completely and utterly foreign to Israel. It is incompatible with the idea of Yahism, as a particular religion and a peculiar possession of the chosen, the covenant people and their God. This means that Israel did not fight for its faith, but for its existence. As we are witnessing today.

Anciently, Israel considered war as a sacred action, with its own particular ideology and rites. When Israelites took up arms they were called the people of Yahweh or people of God, the troops of God, or the armies of Yahweh [the armies of heaven]. Combatants were required to maintain a state of ritual cleanliness, i.e. “to be made holy”. They were bound by oath to remain continent, and this obligation extended to

cleanliness of the camp, which must be kept “holy” if Yahweh was to encamp with His troops. The visible sign of the presence of Yahweh was the Ark of the Covenant. Faith was an indispensable condition. Those without faith, those who exhibited fear and did not have the requisite religious disposition [testimony of purpose] were sent away.

This is the principal fact: it was Yahweh who fought for Israel, not Israel which fought  for its God. The holy war, in Israel, was not, is not a war of religion as the Islamic jihad is; undertaken to spread the Moslem faith, killing and destroying, subjugating and dispensing dhimmitude upon the innocent, upon all “non believers”.

The ideology of Islamic belief is rooted in Satan’s plan of compulsion. It was no idle threat when he said he would take silver and gold [and oil] and by up tyrants and priests [Imams and Clerics] and “rule with blood and horror on this earth.” Islam is an enemy to God and mankind. It is truly unfortunate that so many have chosen to be bound by the cords of such evil, being led to an utter destruction of their souls.

The fundamental object of the jihadists war against Jews, Christians and all non-Muslims is not conversion by force to Islam.  Rather, the jihad is being waged to bring non-Muslims into the Islamic Order  as slaves.  The Qur'anic verse (9:29) that explicitly directs Muslims to make war against Jews and Christians directs them,(Muslims), to make others (Jews and Christians) "pay the jizua with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued".  In Islamic law, this condition of submission is known as dhimma, and those within it are a dhiminis, a "guilty" people.  

The classic Islamic scholar As-Sawi specifies that the payment of the jizya signifies that non-Muslims are to be rendered "humble, submissive and obedient to the judgments of Islam" that exercises Sharia Law upon the entire world, a world viewed in Islamic terms as a Mosque.  Thus subjugation and a life of dhimmitude or slavery, or death, which ever is dispensed to the Jew or Christian, or non-Muslim, is executed by Islam.  In sum, all infidels must humble themselves before the Muslim and become a Dhimini, or be dead.  There is no tolerance for the Muslim to follow in their Islamic code, nor is there the "Golden Rule".
