ISLAM: THE ONLY SOLUTION

By Dr Alan Clifford

7 September 2004

 

Our hearts are heavy with grief with the suffering in Beslan.  Even allowing for serious defects in the heavy-handed policy of the Russian Government, no one can deny the Islamic dimension in this most appalling and diabolical atrocity.  It is increasingly clear that nowhere is safe from the growing Islamic threat.  Here in the UK, the recent and spine-chilling remarks of Omar Bakri Mohammed, the spiritual leader of the extremist sect al-Muhajiroun, have added insulting incitement to intolerable injury as we face a daily litany of nauseating news.  In responding to the growing menace, our lame Government is failing to face reality.

 

The distinction between 'moderate' and 'militant' Islam misses the point that THE RELIGION ITSELF IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.  Indeed, no other religion on earth can claim to match the violent nature of the Islamic agenda.  Seemingly-benign Muslim communities will always be breeding grounds for their more militant members to recruit jihardists from. To make matters worse, the general public are fed lies on an almost daily basis.  For instance, we hear the regular intonation that 'Islam' means 'peace'.  It means nothing of the kind!  It means 'submission to Allah' not 'peace'.  The Arabic word for 'peace' is 'salem', something Islam will never deliver until we all succumb to the Muslim mission for world domination.


So, what is to be done?  First we must be clear what is not to be done.  Racist attacks must not be encouraged.  BNP-inspired thuggery and anxiety-driven violence must not be tolerated.  Non-violent Muslims need protecting as much as anyone else.  While Muslim terrorists must be pursued with military rigour, peaceable Muslims must never be persecuted.  However, Muslims need rescuing from Islam!  That said, unless our immigration policy takes account of the constant potential for jihadic violence provided by the Qur'an and the even more horrific Hadith (traditions of Islam), there is no way of guaranteeing civil order indefinitely.  Therefore, if Enoch Powell's dreadful 'rivers of blood' prophecy is to be averted in the UK, three things must be implemented:


First, on the political level.  Compulsory citizenship ceremonies must require Muslims to publicly and explicitly repudiate the jihadic teachings of their religion in perpetuity.  If they sincerely meet this requirement, then they may enjoy the liberties and privileges of our liberal democracy.  If they refuse to do so, citizenship should be refused and the applicants deported to countries prepared to tolerate the intolerable.  Muslims cannot be permitted to abuse our democratic heritage if it is their intention eventually to impose fascist-style Islamic culture in the UK and elsewhere.


Second, on the religious education level.  The RE component of the National Curriculum must 'put the record straight'.   Teachers must stop pretending that Jesus and Muhammad are on a par and that the Holy Bible and the Holy Qur'an teach similarly-positive values.  Without denying that too often Christians have failed to demonstrate the compassionate virtues of its
Founder, the true character of Muhammad's programme and its devastating demands must not be hidden from our children.  Yes, the Christian Gospel forbids and condemns hatred and violence.  The same cannot be said of the message of Muhammad.  The children of
UK schools must learn the difference between the mercy of the Sermon on the Mount and the hatred of the Hadith.  The children of Muslim citizens must also be exposed to the purity of Christ and not the poison of Muhammad.


Third, to reverse the collapse of Christian conviction in our country, nothing less than a reformation of the churches is necessary.  The major problem is the preponderance of apostate clergy.  These liberal lying prophets of multi-faith ecumenism have robbed us of the faith foundations of our national heritage.  Trendy, effeminate bishops, priests and professors are the curse of contemporary Christianity.  They are praised for expressing doubts about Christ's virgin birth and resurrection and applauded for extolling the spurious virtues of Muhammad.  And they get paid for their impiety!  While the horrors of Beslan prompted the Archbishop of Canterbury to confess to a 'flicker of doubt' in the goodness of God, he fails to express doubts about the vicious features of the Islamic faith.  Looking to the Vatican for guidance will also disappoint us.  The Catechism of the Catholic Church (#841) clearly expresses an accommodation with Islam, the Pope himself having expressed a desire for cooperation between the two faiths.  Only a return to the authentic Christian, Apostolic, Reformed and Evangelical Faith will be able to sweep away the shame and stupidity of political correctness.  With such spirituality we will regain our sanity.  Of course, such a proposal will irritate rather inspire David Blunkett whose draconian legislative plans are well known.  Sadly, his ignorance and prejudice blind him to distinguishing between Muslims and Evangelicals.  That said, the views of our adulterous home-breaking Home Secretary are not worthy of a moment's serious attention.


In conclusion, I am well aware that this statement will be greeted with howls of derision and outbursts of anger from those whose cherished philosophies I have deliberately challenged.  They enjoy the freedom to dissent from what I’ve said.  I am no more inclined to oppress them than I am to persecute Muslims.  However, if they insist on scorning my solution, Islam would never allow them the luxury of dissent if ever its diabolical objectives were realised.  Such is my own faith that I believe the Satan-inspired Islamic dream is a delusion, to be ultimately destroyed when Jesus the Son of God returns in power to judge the world.  In the meantime, the delusion might do much damage.  Things could get much worse before they improve.  However, those whose agendas do not exclude the murder of innocent children may be assured that they are on the holy hit-list of our Lord Jesus Christ!  He will not discriminate between these butchers and those who welcome the religion which inspires them.  May Almighty God graciously enable us to heed this wake-up call before it is too late!
