CHRISTIAN MEDIA RESEARCH - Newsletter - The Bible Predicted America's War On Terror

President George Bush told the United Nations that the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States were "acts of war." The attacks were, in fact, not just acts of war, but acts of the Islamic "jihad."

Jihad means "holy war," and it is a foundation of the fundamentalist belief of the religion of one-fourth of the world's population - Islam. The bible of the Islamic religion, the Qur'an, has more than 100 verses that advocate violence in support of Islam. For example, in the chapter titled Surah, we read, "Take not the Jews and Christians as friends. Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them...." Even the most moderate Islamic states have outlawed Christianity and Judaism. In fact, the now deceased Islamic ruler of Iran Ayatollah Khomeini once said that, "The purest joy in Islam is to kill and be killed for Allah." Islam is militaristic, terroristic and hateful toward non-Muslims.

The terrorist nature of Islam can be traced directly to the founder of modern Islam, Muhammad. History documents that this so-called prophet of God used terrorist attacks to fund his religious views beginning in the autumn of 623 AD. The violent nature of the founder of modern Islam is documented in the Hadiths, the religious writings of Muhammad's Islamic successors. The Hadiths are considered to be nearly as important to Islam as the Qur'an itself. These writings document that Muhammad committed murder (even murdering women), condoned the beating of wives, practiced slavery (and condoned beating slaves), and even condoned the rape of slaves. The violence of Muhammad's Islam is evident in it's founder.

The United States has declared war on terrorism, but the war is actually against the fundamentalist, terrorist religion of Islam. America is currently attacking the Taliban, the fundamentalist Islamic leadership of Afghanistan. But the Taliban was supported and empowered by the fundamentalist state of Saudi Arabia. By attacking the Taliban, are we not also indirectly attacking the Saudis? By attacking the fundamentalist, terrorist Taliban, are we also indirectly attacking the entire Islamic religion?

PBS, the Public Broadcasting System, produced a video several years ago titled, "Jihad in America." The one-hour video reported that there were "networks of Islamic extremists" inside the U.S. These networks are the source of the September 11 terrorist attacks that originated from within the U.S. Osama Bin Ladin has stated that his terrorist organization has chemical/biological weapons as well as nuclear weapons. Do these Islamic terrorists have any of the 84 missing SADAM (small atomic demolition munitions) nukes reported missing by high-level Soviet intelligence operatives? Each one of these nukes is capable of vaporizing a major American city.

In review: Islam has always been a violent, terrorist oriented religion, Islam is the source of the September "acts of war," and Islamic fundamentalist "cells" exist inside America and may have chemical/biological and nuclear weapons of mass destruction.

These facts open the door to an understanding of the biblical magnitude of "America's New War" - it is the opening salvo of World War III, the biblical battle foretold 2,600 years ago in the book of Ezekiel which involves "Gog and Magog."

Bible prophecy author James Lloyd has declared the "fourth horseman of the Apocalypse" riding the pale horse to be militant Islam, whose green crescent flag is referred to by the Greek word chloros, the biblical word interpreted as pale, but more clearly referring to "green." Mr. Lloyd's new 48 page booklet titled The Lion, The Bear and the Leopard explains in detail that the first three horseman of the Apocalypse have already ridden, and the fourth horseman, militant Islam, is mounted and about to gallop! The tribulation is dawning upon planet Earth.

The Holy Scriptures tell us of the fourth horseman that, "power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death." The followers of Islam are now a fourth part of the earth, and Islam's militant followers are prepared and in position to kill with sword (war), hunger (famine), and death (pestilence).
