A few nights before I wrote the original version of this article, I viewed a 2-part, 4-hour documentary on the History Channel covering the 1st through 3rd crusades of the 9th and 10th centuries. In viewing this, the perfidy and apostasy of Roman Catholicism continues to astound and appall me.
Centuries of bloodshed were instigated based upon a pack of lies perpetrated by Pope Urban II, then head of the Catholic Church, among others.
Now don’t mistake me here: I’m not defending Moslems as if they were the innocent victims in this whole sordid affair. Their hands were just as drenched with blood — before, during, and after — as the crusaders (I absolutely refuse to dignify the group of religious apostates and thugs that went on crusade at the behest of a corrupt pope as “Christian”). Nor am I in any way acting as an apologist for Islam, a worldwide false belief system which has held billions in religious bondage from the 7th century through the current day (more on that later).
All that being said, the Crusades were instrumental in keeping Islam at bay and preserving Western Civilization (more on that later, too).
So how did this all come to pass?
How & Why The Crusades Took Place
The initial impetus for the crusades was Moslems attacking, murdering, raping, and robbing Catholics (how many were actually true Christian believers is a determination way above my pay grade!) who were making pilgrimages to the Holy Land. We’ll deal with Islam after a bit, but first let’s tackle the concept of why these pilgrims were making such arduous and dangerous trips to Israel in the first place.
The first doctrinal problem with this pilgrimages thing is the then-pervasive — and still widely accepted to this day — belief there was some sort of mystical or magic benefit to be gained from making trips to the “Holy Land.” People would actually travel thousands of miles from their homes to “worship” there, thinking God was awarding spiritual brownie points for their making the journey.
There are three major lies of Satan wrapped up in this practice.
#1: There is No Such Thing as a “Holy Land”
When Jesus breathed on His disciples and said “Receive the Holy Spirit” in John 20:22, He forever removed geography from the equation of God’s relationship with His followers. At that moment, not only were those disciples born-again, but the Holy Spirit moved into their physical bodies and took up residence there. That means that everywhere a believer goes, God goes with them both externally and internally. And that implies that there no longer exists anyplace on this earth that is “holier” or more sacred to God than another because the human spirit of the believer is now “holy ground” — wherever that believer might be.
Reinforcing this concept was the tearing in two of the curtain veiling the Holy of Holies in the Jewish temple from the rest of the facility at the moment of Jesus’ death, a graphic symbol representing the sin that separated mankind from a holy God. When Jesus completed His atonement for those sins by His precious Blood, sin and its resulting separation were no longer an issue and God removed that veil, supernaturally tearing a thick (some say it was 12 inches in thickness, but I find it hard to accept that ancient weavers could create such a piece of cloth) curtain from top to bottom. The tearing of the veil also confirms that God’s earthly presence was no longer in the Holy of Holies, so that location no longer had any special significance.
Why?
Because God moved out!
#2: There is No Such Thing as a “Holy Place”
Within the so-called “holy land” are sites having religious (please note I said religious, not Christian) significance (e.g., the church containing the cave where Jesus was supposedly buried, etc.) to the ignorant. Such folks are deluded into thinking if they go there and crawl on their knees or perform some other work of penance, their own sins or those of their relatives or both will be expunged (see the next point in this list concerning that issue).
But again, as with the geographic region itself, there is nothing “holy” about such places other than the fact some of them are actual holes. 🙂 It may be awe-inspiring to visit such sites, but that’s about the sum of it.
#3: There is Nothing We Can Do to Earn or Deserve Anything From God, Ever!
Salvation and forgiveness of sins are by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, period, finito, end of story! That means no matter how “holy” or “godly” someone may act, no matter how many good works he/she may perform, etc., all of us are unworthy of God’s love and forgiveness and will remain so this side of heaven.
We all readily agree with the idea that Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Chairman Mao are undeserving of God’s love, mercy, and forgiveness, but, truth be told, so are Billy Graham and Mother Theresa. We are all sinners, all deserving of hell, and all are incapable of doing one single thing to change that other than accepting by faith God’s salvation in Jesus Christ as a free gift and allowing Him to change us from the inside out.
The bottom line is this: after Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, God abandoned the real estate business regarding His presence here on earth. So, while visiting Israel is spiritually inspiring, making religious pilgrimages there has been reduced to a spiritually worthless form of medieval tourism with zero eternal significance.
Repenting and confessing our misdeeds to our Heavenly Father (directly, rather than to a human priest) is sufficient to to remove all sins and nothing more is needed (see my article on the Lord’s Prayer where I deal with the Catholic heresy of penance).
Who Were the Crusaders?
The second problem is with the crusaders themselves. History has thoroughly documented that the knights of Europe during the 9th and 10th centuries were a bunch of crude, uneducated, well-armed, lawless thugs (think in terms of armored medieval gang-bangers or Hell’s Angels on horses) who spent most of their time warring amongst themselves and oppressing the peasantry with senseless acts of sin and violence — theft, murder, rape, torture, adultery, you name it!
They were what we might call today predatory sociopaths who cared nothing for the rights/welfare of their fellow men. Maybe sociopaths is the wrong term in the absolute sense of the modern psychological pathology by that same name because they did care just enough about their future eternal destiny to want to find some way to go to heaven despite their acts of terror against the populace and one another. But they didn’t care enough to stop their behaviors (that would be true repentance), and were susceptible to the false religious bandaids offered by a corrupt Catholic Church which was more than willing to exploit their venality.

- Reducing Moslem predation upon Catholic pilgrims;
- Increasing the prestige and political clout of the Catholic Church, and;
- Reducing the population of those pesky knights who were being such a nuisance to their respective countries.
Why the Crusades Ultimately Failed
In fairness, I must correct the lie currently being propagated by Islamic apologists and progressive ideologues that the crusaders were imperialist conquerors bent on subjugating the local Moslem populace through colonization and forced conversion contraire.
Eu contraire!
The kings and knights who went on crusade did so at great cost to themselves personally as well as their respective kingdoms. Each of the kings and other royals who went on crusade had to raise — and pay for out of their own kingdom’s treasuries — their own armies and most of those knights and soldiers who enlisted died from sickness rather than actual warfare.
Any financial benefit derived from crusading was far out-stripped by the actual costs of them being there. In other words, there was a negative ROI (return on investment) financially. The sole reason the crusades ultimately failed was a lack of financial support from Europe where its populace had lost the motivation for continuing the ongoing sacrifices required to maintain it.
The Lies Used to Motivate Crusaders
Now we have another set of lies to deal with:
Neither the Pope nor the Catholic Church Have Salvation to Offer as a Salable Commodity
Only God can save souls and He has clearly defined His standards for who gets into heaven and how in Romans 10:9-10. Traveling across the known world and killing people — or any other dead religious work, for that matter — is nowhere in that list. We Christian believers are indeed permitted to defend ourselves when attacked, but we don’t earn any brownie points with God by doing so.
There is No Salvation Apart From Repentance.
When a person comes to Jesus, he/she is abandoning all control of his/her life to the One True Living God and submitting to His absolute rule. When one’s life is submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, salvation takes place. “But what about ‘salvation by grace through faith?'” you might ask. Not a bit of incompatibility between the 2 concepts. What I’m describing here is “faith unto lordship,” the total entrusting of one’s self to the care and rule of a loving and merciful Savior.
So these nobles and their armies bought into the lie they could continue doing what they were already doing — murdering, raping, pillaging. etc. — but now because they were doing it in the name of God, they would thereby be saved from eternal damnation.
So-called “Holy Relics”
Add to these lies the heresy of “holy relics.” These are physical objects which supposedly were involved somehow (touched by, etc.) with the physical bodies of Jesus and/or the apostles. Examples are:
- The legendary “Holy Grail” of Arthurian legend and Indiana Jones/Monty Python movie renown, supposedly the cup Jesus used at the Last Supper
- The famous “Shroud of Turin,” supposedly the cloth used to wrap Jesus body when they buried Him
- The Spear of Destiny, supposedly the spear used by the Roman soldier to pierce Jesus’ side at the crucifixion
- Pieces of the “true cross” used to crucify Jesus
- Bones of various disciples/apostles (Peter, James, John, Paul, et al)
- And so on, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
This is nothing more than superstitious nonsense and idol worship. The power of God does not reside in objects of any kind, much less some piece of wood, metal, stone, or bone spuriously attributed to Jesus or His disciples. Instead, His power is primarily expressed through the Holy Spirit’s habitation within all born-again believers (“…Christ in you, the hope of glory.” – Colossians 1:27b).
And while the possession of so-called relics can certainly inspire the superstitious and ignorant, they have absolutely no power to imbue their possessors with anything special from the Almighty!
And since the vast majority of these silly European keniggets were illiterate and, even if they could read, the Bible was not yet available to the masses to be read in the common language (again, thanks to the corrupt Catholic Church who had a nasty habit of burning at the stake those who translated God’s Word into English and other languages so it could maintain its control over the masses), they had no way of determining for themselves that they were staking their lives and eternal destinies on doctrinal horse manure.
The thing which really bugged me about this whole deal was the so-called Prelate of Jerusalem (the modern-day head of the Catholic church there) who actually sat there on camera with a straight face, and not only solemnly stated holy relics exist to this day and indeed have special powers, but certain people have a “gift” to detect which ones are authentic and which aren’t!
ARRRRRRGH!
Let’s examine that claim for a moment and take its concepts to their logical conclusion:
- How does the Catholic Church test for such an ability? In other words, how does someone actually prove to the Vatican he or she has it?
- Is there actually a list of criteria somewhere determining who qualifies?
- If so, what are those qualifications?
- Is there a certification exam? Is it true/false, multiple choice, or essay questions?
- How does one practically demonstrate this gift?
- And the questions just keep on coming!
Am I the only person who regards this is some of the highest grade bovine scatology on the planet?
Islam
All that I have just covered doesn’t mean the Moslems who have dominated the Mediterranean region from the 6th century until this very day were innocent victims of the Christian hordes as their apologists and post-modern political liberals are wont to claim. It was the Moslems who initiated the wars for the 500 years prior to and including the Crusades. Their hands of this insane death cult have been drenched in the blood of their victims from its very inception up to and including modern times.
Its Origins
Other than petroleum (which required outside assistance from Western Civilization’s technology to discover and exploit in the first place), the insane death cult of Islam has been the only successful major export from the Arabian Peninsula.
Just after the turn of the 6th century AD, a obscure, spiritually ignorant Arab merchant named Muhammed claimed the Archangel Gabriel dictated the contents of the Qur’an to him in a cave (remarkably, the cult of Mormonism began in a very similar manner around 1830, albeit with an occultist named Joseph Smith and a different “angel”).
Amazingly, he managed to persuade a horde of other equally uneducated and spiritually ignorant Arabs to buy into his schtick and, solely by the edge of the sword, managed to launch the world’s second-largest world religion.
The Spread of Islam
Everywhere Moslem armies conquered, they literally enslaved or killed any of their victims who refused to declared their allegiance to Allah as their god and Muhammed as Allah’s prophet.
At the time of Muhammed’s birth in about AD 570, the Mediterranean Sea was a virtual Christian lake surrounded on all sides by the Byzantine Empire, which gave lip-service to Christian beliefs, but whose internal politics and morals were much more in line with the modus operandi of Satan.
Almost 200 years later, by means of virtually non-stop military conquests, the coast of North Africa, the Middle East, eastern Asia Minor, the Trans-Caucasus, Spain, Central Asia, Persia, Sicily (plus all other major islands of the Western Mediterranean), Southern Italy, the Balkans, and good-sized chunks of Western India and Western China were under Moslem domination.
Since then, Islam has expanded and continues to dominate all of Northern Africa, the Horn of Africa, Asia Minor, the Middle East (other than Israel), all the “-stans” of Central Asia, all of Indonesia and Malaysia, with significant enclaves in the Balkans, the Philippines, India, Russia, China, and Burma.

Ironically, the current stupidity of modern socialist governments across Europe is allowing Islam to achieve through unlimited open immigration what the Arab and Turkish hordes of the past could never accomplish through centuries of warfare.
A Brief Overview of Islamic Theology
The Qur’an makes the specious claim that Allah, the god of Islam, is the same One True God worshipped by Jews and Christians. This is patently false and anyone who believes otherwise demonstrates an abysmal ignorance of the tenets of all three belief systems.
However, there are a host of spiritually ignorant and/or intellectually dishonest folks who have swallowed that lie whole. Such folks tend to be the same ones who plaster COEXIST bumperstickers on their cars — you know, the ones where all the symbols of Christianity, Judaism, 
Islam, Buddhism, LGBT, etc. are arranged to spell out the word? Such folks are also typically ones who believe one’s religion is a matter of personal preference — something you add to your life to make you a better person, rather than believing the tenets of any given belief system to the point where you order your life around them — that sort of dedication is strictly for fanatics!
Any honest student of world religions laughs at such claims because, if all these religious roads indeed lead to God, then God is schizophrenic! The tenets of Buddhism are completely at odds with Hinduism which totally conflicts with Islam whose beliefs are openly hostile to Judaism and Christianity, just to cover the Big Five. But I digress…
Analyzing in depth how Islam is one of the biggest religious con jobs — second only to Catholicism — in world history would require a book, rather than a section of one article, to analyze properly, so I’m going to confine myself to dealing only with the low-hanging fruit.
Full of Contradictions
Unlike the Bible, the Qur’an is full of contradictions. It was written by one person over the period of his personal lifetime. While Muhammed’s attitudes and viewpoint started out sounding like most moderate Moslems, it ended up much closer to fundamentalist jihadists when he died. So-called Moslem scholars coped with this mishmash of contradicting dictates by arbitrarily deciding whenever such a contradiction appears, the newer command supersedes the older one.
The bottom line?
According to their own hermeneutical rules, the likes of Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS, Hamas, Hesbollah, Abu Sayyef, Islamic Jihad, and others of their ilk are the only Moslems accurately interpreting the Qur’an!
These rules of interpretation is also why it is relatively easy for jihadists to “radicalize” moderate Moslems.
Theocracy Required
All truly Islamic governments are totalitarian theocracies. Any Moslem country operating under a different system of government, such as a parliamentary republic, is a religious anomaly existing in clear opposition to the Qur’an’s dictates. In Islam, there is NO concept of separation of church and state, period. So for the United States to engage in promoting democratic reforms in the Middle East is an exercise in utter futility over the long haul.
This is also why Islamic fundamentalists cannot conceptually separate the United States government as well as the attitudes and behaviors of its post-modern citizens from Christianity. We Americans have always historically stood for Christian mores and values, called ourselves a Christian nation, yet Hollywood, the porn industry, and a host of other postmodern public attitudes/behaviors loudly and publicly indicate otherwise. That is why many Moslems call us “The Great Satan.”
All that being said, Moslems can be some of the vilest of sinners, especially sexually. Homosexuality, pedophilia, rape, and sex trafficking are rampant in all Islamic countries, regardless of the drastic penalties ostensibly meted on offenders. We have recently witnessed that very thing in Europe as Moslem refugees and immigrants engaged in wholesale rape of dhimmi women with clueless European judges giving them a pass because “that’s part of their culture.”
Zero Inalienable Human Rights
The idea of “human rights” is conceptually alien and antithetical to Islam. When you distill Muhammed’s deranged scribblings down to its core, a human life has zero intrinsic value, especially if the human being is a dhimmi aka an infidel aka a non-Moslem. Talking to a fundamentalist Moslem about human rights violations is like trying to get him or her to smell the color purple.
Chattel Slavery
Speaking of human rights, everywhere Islam dominates, chattel slavery is pervasive and has thrived ever since those regions were conquered in the name of Allah. It is a historical fact that 100% of all the slaves who were purchased in Africa and imported to work on plantations during the colonization of the New World were captured and sold to the slave ship captains by Arab and African slavers, all of whom were Moslems.
Point of fact: it was Christian nations who ultimately ended and outlawed chattel slavery outside the boundaries of Islam.
Death to Apostates
Also related to human rights, Islam is the only world religion whose “holy book” decrees a death sentence upon any of its followers who convert to other religions, such as Christianity or those who insult the Qur’an or Muhammed.
Women Totally Repressed
Again, we have a human rights issue: under Sharia law, women have zero rights and can be imprisoned, beaten, raped, disfigured, and murdered by a male perpetrator who will experience little or no consequences for it, especially if the woman did something truly “heinous” such as converting to Christianity or violating the man’s sense of how a modest woman should behave. Wife-beating is pervasive throughout Moslem culture worldwide. I personally have witnessed the aftermath of just such a beating.
Depending upon the degree of orthodoxy of the Islamic society in which they find themselves, Moslem women must wear hijab (headscarves) or burqas (a long, loose garment covering the whole body from head to feet) to demonstrate their “modesty” and submission to their tyrannical husbands in specific and Islam in general.
Women have no standing in a Sharia court, are not allowed to give evidence directly to the court, and are not permitted to give testimony against any man for any reason under any circumstances. In the strictest Islamic countries, women are not allowed to be educated, drive cars, appear in public apart from their husbands or male family members.
And the list goes on and on and on…
No Respect for Human Life
A final point related to human rights: Islam’s complete lack of respect for human life is constantly on display by Muhammadan fundamentalist groups such as Hamas, Hesbollah, Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Abu Sayyef, Islamic Jihad, ISIS, etc., where their cowardly combatants place armories, rocket launch sites, headquarters, and other military installations in mosques, hospitals, schools, and in civilian residential neighborhoods. Their total disregard for the populace they are supposedly “defending” is the height of religious and political hypocrisy, extending to training mothers and small children to be suicide bombers and worse.
Without exception, Islamic governments are among the most barbaric and brutal regimes on the planet, matched or exceeded only by their atheist Communist counterparts, such as North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Red China, and the former USSR.
Doesn’t Play Well With Other Religions
Islam also distinguishes itself from every other major world religion by being the only one which attacks the beliefs of other world religions by name, specifically Judaism and Christianity. The Hindu sacred books say nothing of other religions. Same with Buddhists. Remarkably, neither testament of the Bible says anything about any other world religion, either, other than to consistently condemn the worship of idols as practiced by the nations surrounding Israel.
Don’t believe me? The Dome of the Rock mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem — a place Muhammed never came near during his entire lifetime, I might add — is a building which was deliberately built to tower over every Christian church in the city. Inside, there are Arabic inscriptions proclaiming, “Christianity is the false witness. Islam is the true witness.” You cannot find comparable proclamations in any Christian church or any Hindu or Buddhist temple anywhere on the planet.
Jihad Commanded
Islam is unique in that its so-called “holy book” is the only one commanding conversion-by-coercion and authorizes the wholesale slaughter of those who refuse to bow their knee to Allah. Jihad is a uniquely Moslem concept. Nowhere do we see news reports of Christians and Jews burning down/bombing Hindu or Buddhist temples, suicide bombing innocent civilians of any other religion, other otherwise being perpetrators of violence against those who disagree with them religiously. As we have already seen, the crusades were not about inflicting Catholicism on Moslems, but about preventing Moslems from victimizing Catholics, thus refuting yet another lie perpetrated by Islamist apologists.
The proof of this? In what became known as Muhammed’s farewell address, it is reported that he said, “I was ordered to fight all men until they say, ‘There is no god but Allah.'” This is consistent with the following:
“Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.”
Qur’an (9:5)
For those who have heard it stated that the OT genocides commanded by God in the OT are no different than the jihad commanded in the Qur’an, you might find this article written by a Christian convert from Islam to be informational. I certainly did!
Islam’s Bogus Golden Age
The so-called “Golden Age of Islam” was neither initiated nor sustained by Islamic scholars, but by Jewish and Christian dhimmi converts during the early stages of Islamic domination. By the time the incredibly backward and anti-intellectual philosophies of Islam had been in place for a century or two and such folks died off, there were none to replace them. Thus endeth the “Golden Age of Islam!”
How Europe Won
The successful defense of Christian Europe was accomplished by its superior military technology over that of Islamic forces. Armored European infantry was universally successful over the light cavalry fielded by the Moslems. Europes heavy armored knights were able to stay seated during cavalry charges due to the stirrups on their saddles, a technical innovation Moslem forces did not possess.
Christian naval superiority consistently transcended Moslem efforts to duplicate their technologies. Moslem ship captains generally had little or no ability to navigate away from the sight of the shore. Moslem ships were built and navigated by Christian dhimmi slaves, which was the only reason Islamic forces had a navy to begin with.
The Fruit of Islam
To see the fruit of Islam — and you can add to that Hinduism and Buddhism, for that matter — simply examine the culture, society, technology, and productivity of any country under their sway. There, you will find Third-World sewers where every single good thing available to their populace was invented and initially manufactured by countries where Christianity was once the prevailing religious system.
This is scientifically and historically proven fact.
A textbook case of the cultural and economic transformation of such a region by changing its prevailing belief system is the nation of Israel. Prior to Zionist immigration to that area beginning in the late 1800s, what is now Israel was an unproductive part of the Moslem Ottoman Empire. Populated by subsistence farmers and nomadic herdsmen producing nothing for export, with huge malarial swamps dotting the landscape, abject poverty was the norm.
Once Jews started arriving — bringing with them a biblical work ethic, I might add — the land started to blossom as they reclaimed the swamps — typically the only land their Ottoman Turk overlords would sell them and at astronomical prices no less! — thereby turning Israel into the garden of the Middle East. Since its independence in 1948, it remains the only successful parliamentary democracy in the region and has transformed itself into an economic, scientific, and technological powerhouse, exporting goods to the entire the world.
The late British prime minister Winston Churchill said a mouthful back in the original edition of his history of late-19th-century warfare in the Sudan:
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
Sir Winston Churchill from The River War: An Historical Account of the Reconquest of the Soudan
Summary
I could go on and on and on. But here are the bottom line truths of the matter:
- Allah is not the One True God of the Judeo-Christian Bible. Actually, it is Satan operating under a nom-de-guerre.
- Muhammed was a psychopathic reprobate. He deserves absolutely no respect as a religious leader.
- The Qur’an is a book of depravity, death, and destruction, deserving zero credence in the marketplace of ideas. It is totally antithetical to Western Civilization and the Judeo-Christian Bible upon which that civilization is founded
- Islam is a religion of war, death, destruction, depravity, and slavery, not a religion of peace.
- We are once again at war against this barbaric death cult which seeks to enslave and/or destroy us. Any legislation, manpower, and funds directed towards supporting military suppression of Islamic expansionism is money well spent and deserves the enthusiastic support of all Americans and Christian believers.
- We have no business accepting even one Moslem refugee into our country, period. Far less so, we should never be electing a Moslem to be a local, regional, or national lawmaker or political leader. One can observe the actions of London’s Muhammedan mayor for a foretaste of what that kind of governance would look like here.
- We believers should be loving and interceding for those caught in the throes of this dreadful ideology while utterly rejecting its tenets and resisting the propagation of those tenets throughout the world.
- We believers should be praying for an expansion of the ongoing miraculous and supernatural interventions by the Holy Spirit leading jihadists and other Moslems to Jesus. I hear such reports and marvel at the compassion and mercy of our Jesus reaching out to those who hate Him so thoroughly and virulently.
- We believers should also be praying for and financially supporting Christian missionaries and missions organizations who have the incredible courage to go into Moslem countries and minister there under the very real threat of death if they are caught.
- Finally, we should be praying for those Moslems who renounce Islam, receive Christ, and thus become our brothers and sisters in the faith. Doing so almost always costs them everything: their families, their possessions, their livelihoods, even their very lives.
Yeah, I know I’ve just painted a huge target on my chest because, as I’ve already stated, defaming Islam and Muhammed incurs a death sentence according to the Qur’an
I’m an unashamed and unapologetic infidel. My life is not my own and I would not be the first Christian to die boldly proclaiming the Truth in the face of that barbaric excuse for a religion. That being said, I also serve a really, really big God who laughs at their threats and plans (Psalm 37) and He promises “no weapon formed against me shall prosper” (see Isaiah 54:17).
All I have to say is to any Moslem fanatic who wants to enforce the Qur’an’s dictates upon me:
“Take your best shot, cupcake! I’m the crusader Allah warned you about!”
Thanks for reading!
P.S. Please note how I have used the politically incorrect term “Moslem” rather than “Muslim” throughout this article. “Moslem” is an Arabic word meaning “one who is evil and unjust,” which describes militant Muhammedans perfectly.
