How the Jihad originated 1400 years back and how the nature and idol-worshipping pre Muslim Arabs were the first nation to be traumatized by Islam. The Arabs being the only nation who were not given the choice of paying Jaziya and remaining non-Muslim, a courtesy extended later to all non-Muslims. The choice for the nature and idol-worshipping pre Muslim Arabs was only Islam or Death. Hence there are no surviving nature and idol-worshipping non-Muslim Arabs today. A point missed by many Arab and Western historians.
______________________________________________
Al-Mawardi (d. 1058), a renowned jurist of Baghdad, in The Laws of Islamic Governance states the critical connection between jihad and payment of the jizya. He notes that “The enemy makes a payment in return for temporary peace and reconciliation.” Al-Mawardi then distinguishes two cases: Primarily, payment is made immediately and is treated like booty. Secondly, payment is made yearly and will “constitute an ongoing tribute by which their security is established". If the payment ceases, then the jihad resumes. He adds “it does, however, not prevent a jihad being carried out against the infidels in the future for converting them to Islam, in spite of their having paid the jizya.”

The psychological make-up of Pre-Islamic Arab society determined by the geographical environment
Arab society in the peninsula is blessed with an harsh environment. Where agriculture is non-existent, and life is at a subsistence level in a barren desert environment with extremes in climate that vary from warm to extremely hot. This has shaped the temperament of the people who are hot tempered, violent and hyper-sensitive in their sense of honor, revenge and retribution. With life an on-going struggle against the forces of nature that comprise of desert storms, a bleak and monotonous environment, devoid of natural vegetation, except in the oases, the mental make-up of Arabs has been shaped by the dictum Kill or be killed. even before Islam was founded. They worshipped innumerable gods and goddesses in addition to Allah who was one of the many gods. Among them were Allat, Alluza, Mannat who were goddesses and were looked upon as daughters of Allah along with male gods like Hubal (Baal).
For more than four millennia before Islam, polytheism had been part of the psyche of the Bedouin Arabs who inhabited the Arabian peninsula. Four thousand years before Mohammad, the ancestors of the Semitic people who came from the same ethnic stock and who lived further north in Mesopotamia had a different pantheon of gods. These Semitic people who built the Babylonian, Assyrian, (Sumerian and Akkadian) civilizations worshipped gods like Gilgamesh, Ishtar, (Goddess) Marduk, Tiamat, Adrammelech, Apsu, Enki, Ianna, Anu, Ereshkigal among others. By the time of Mohammad, worship of these gods had become extinct.
In fact when the Muslims Arabs invaded Mesopotamia (Iraq) which was then a part of the Zoroastrian Sassanid empire of Persia, the invading Muslim Arabs did not bother to destroy the ancient Mesopotamian shrines in the ruins of Nineveh where the temples to these gods were built. The reason for this was that as these ruins held neither people who could be forcibly converted to Islam, nor any wealth that the Muslims could plunder, these ancient sites did not attract the attention of the marauding Muslim Arabs in the 7th century. So unlike Ctesiphon, Jerusalem, Caesarea, etc; the ancient Mesopotamian cities which lay in ruins were spared of being vandalized by the truculent Muslim Arabs.
Nineveh was spared the fate of Ctesiphon and Caesarea which have been totally obliterated from their sites, or like Jerusalem which the Muslims co-opted in to Islam in 636 C.E. by constructing the Dome of the Rock, over the ruins of what was originally the Jewish Second Temple to god that had been destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 C.E. Another example of such co-option is Constantinople where the Hagia Sophia was converted into the Selimiye Mosque by the Muslim Turks in 1453 C.E.

Mohammad comes on the scene to lead a people made bitter by the natural environment
We are concerned here with the Bedouin Arabs who resided in the Arabian Peninsula. Here our ancestors developed civilization, but only on the coastal fringes, specially in the Southern regions that is today Yemen, and limited settled civilization around the bigger oases of Makkah and Yathrib (later renamed Medina).
Till the 7th century, we did not make any impact on global civilization, till we were united by a charismatic but sadistic and cruel leader - Mohammad (yimach shmo ve-zichro - may his name and memory be obliterated). The story of Mohammad is that of a superlative but warped genius who was born in 570 C.E. He was born posthumously to Abdallah and Amina. Mohammad’s father, Abdallah died a few months after Amina was in the family way, before Mohammad was born. Mohammad ibn Abdallah translates as Mohammad son of Abdallah.
Why Mohammad chose Allah as the only deity in Islam?
Pre-Islamic Bedouin Arab society was highly matriarchal as is evident from the worship of many goddesses like Allat, Al Uzza, Mannat. But Arab society had strong patriarchal elements too, as evident in the naming tradition according to which every Arab is known by his father’s name, and not his mother’s.
Having lost his father, the posthumous orphan Mohammad wanted to perpetuate his father’s memory. His father’s name Abdallah was conjugated from Abd-Allah which translates as “Slave of Allah”. This is the reason why Mohammad chose Allah among the many pre-Islamic Arab deities to be the only deity to be worshipped by the Muslims! Not many historians have discerned this fact why it was allah who became the centerpiece of Islam and not any other pre-Islamic Arab male deity like Bēl, Bēl-Šamīn, Abgal, Aglibol, Wadd, and Yaghūth (the last two are in fact referred to in the Qur'an (71:23) as gods of the era of the Prophet Noah).
Even Baal (alternatively known as Hubal) who in fact was the most important deity in pre-Islamic Mecca, found no place in Islam. Only Allah survived in Mohammad’s Islam. So Allah did not choose Mohammad, it was the other way round. Mohammad chose Allah! Allah was chosen by Mohammad as his father was named after allah! Some historians identify Hubal and allah to be the same deity. But, to the best of our knowledge, no historians have discerned this fact why it was allah who became the centerpiece of Islam.
Mohammad’s Epileptic fits were behind his hallucinations that an angel spoke to him revealing the Quran
Mohammad was a paranoid ambitious genius who combined in himself the role of a military strategist, a psychologist, motivator and commander of men. With a harsh childhood in which he lost his parents, he grew to manhood earlier in life than most kids of his age. But the hardships that accompanied his growth from childhood to adolescence made him an epileptic. His epileptic fits were to play a pivotal role in his later life an create an hallucination that some god was talking to him
There is an occurrence in Mohammad’s life that is eloquent on this issue of his mental illness. Once, Mohammad and his foster brother were playing when Halima, his nurse was nursing him in the desert. Suddenly, the foster brother came running to Halima and said that Mohammad was sick. When they went out, they found a young Mohammad behind the bushes with his clothes turned up. It's possible that he was sexually assaulted; however, much later a legend was created partially by Mohammad himself that two angels in grey robe came and one split his chest open and took out the heart and removed a dark clot and then when they weighed him the whole universe weighed less than Mohammad!
The possibility that he was sexually assaulted (sodomized) in his childhood seems to have made him a bitter person and could have accentuated his mental illness, but in spite of this he showed uncanny ability to manipulate and get the results he wanted. In most probabilities, his mental illness could have been a wild form of paranoid schizophrenia.
In his later life, during his 'revelations' he groaned like a she-camel having a baby (which by the way is not a pleasant sound). He had directed his followers to cover him up with a black blanket whenever he suffered from the epileptic fits and that's why he carried this black blanket with him all the time. This narration is the kernel of historical truth that has come down through ages of Arab-Muslim folklore that grew around him.

The lecherous-murderer, Mohammad’s first object of hatred was women. He hated independence for women. Pre-Islamic Arabic women never wore the Hijab (cloak) or Nikab (mask). It was the sick mind of this mass murderer that forced these practices on Muslim ladies and pushed them in to a zenana (Ladies quarters)

__________________________________
In his early life the hardships that were bestowed on him by circumstances coupled with the misfortune of being an epileptic, made him a fiercely determined man. And he nurtured within himself a burning desire to be a leader of men. His caravan journeys that began early in his life gave him an insight into the psychological make-up of the society he lived in.
His being a member of the Quraish – the ruling aristocracy of Makkah (Mecca) was his first stepping stone to leadership
His personal misfortune in this kind of a harsh environment, had made him bitter since childhood. But this personal misfortune, was set off against his being born in the clan that ruled Mecca a pilgrimage town, where all the Arab tribes came once a year in a ritual called Hajj that centered around an object of worship called the Kaaba (literally a cube).
The Kaaba is actually a meteorite which fascinated the ancient tribal Arabs who were awe-struck by its flaming rush from the skies to land at Mecca. Since that day a legend grew around it that is reflected in the various versions of the Books of Semitic peoples that are known as the Tureth or Torah (the Old Testament of the Bible), the Bible (the New Testament) and the Quran. The word Quran itself is derived from the Arabic root word Qurrah which means to collect, implying that Mohammad collected the content of the Quran from other sources, viz., the Old Testament of the Jews, the New Testament of the Christians.
To this content Mohammad added the bloodcurdling Satanic verses that call for slaying the idolaters. To give legitimacy to his Quran, Mohammad floated the fiction, that the text came from a non-existent god (allah) and so no man could change what has been given by some god. In fact the Quran is basically the same book, as the Bible, with modifications made over a period of time, first by Mohammad himself and later by Islam’s many adherents, after Mohammad’s death.
How Mohammad shrewdly grabbed a leadership role, igniting his innate desire to be a leader of men
Mohammad being a member of the Quraish clan which was in charge of the Kaaba, belonged to a privileged clan. But he did not hold a position of distinction within the clan. The turning event of his life was in the year 610 C.E. when during a dispute within his clan about who would be in charge of the annual repairs to the Kaaba. The clan members decided that the person who at that time walks into the Kaaba first would be in charge of the repairs.
And it so happened that Mohammad came to know of this condition, and the evil genius that he was, he realized that this was his opportunity to thrust himself on a higher pedestal. Next morning when the Meccans had gathered to see who walks towards the Kabba first, came our man Mohammad walking nonchalantly towards the holiest object of the Quraish of Mecca.
Little did the Quraish realize that the person walking towards the Kaaba was not the chosen one, but one who held within him a diabolical genius who by this petty but powerful act grabbed unto himself an exalted position of being in charge of repairs to the Kaaba and paved the way himself to elevate his position in the eyes of the Meccans.
This shrewd and diabolical act of the evil genius Mohammad was to start a trail of bloodshed thru Persia, Byzantine, Egypt, North Africa, Spain, France, Balkans… and of which 9/11 was the most dramatic example a trail which has not ended till today, nor will it end till Islam is brought to its full and final end.
Till that point in time, Mohammad was any other Arab, any other Bedouin, any other Quraish tribal. But from then onwards, his stature changed in the eyes of his compatriots. And most importantly, it changed in his own eyes. He began considering that he had to fulfill a mission, an extraordinary mission. His delusion was nurtured by his being an epileptic and he hallucinated that he was in direct communication with god. He began to rationalize his ideas about his personal grandeur by telling people that god had chosen him as his messenger. His claims were met with ridicule.
Mohammad’s epileptic. fits now began play a pivotal role making him hallucinate that he was in communion with some god
But his innate ambition to be a leader of men, had been fuelled by his having managed to be chosen to undertake repairs to the Kaaba. An ambition, which he consciously and deliberately nurtured through his epileptic fits using which he fibbed that god had communicated through the Jibril (the Bedouin word for our angel Gabriel) and commanded him to be the leader of all men by asking for their submission. The concept of submission was so overriding, that the faith he founded was also named Submission or in Arabic Islam.
Islam is not a religion of “Peace”, it is a religion of “Submission” to the Muslims
The canard that Islam means “peace”, is a misconception deliberately created by Muslim-apologists to pull wool over the eyes of innocuous Westerners and other non-Muslims. While actually the word Islam comes from and Arabic term for “losing oneself” “submitting” or “surrendering” to the will (of Mohammad). So please, in spite of what Muslims will tell you, do not be deceived by claims that Islam means peace. Islam means “submission”.
The Arabic word for peace is Salam, derived from the same Hebrew word Shalom which also means peace. But “Islam” and “Salam” are two incongruous words that share no common ground either in name or in substance.
We need to know that the root word of Islam is "al-silm" which means "submission" or "surrender." It is not derived from the word “Salam” which means peace, as Muslims will have you believe.
The Quran states: "Oh you who believe, Come, all of you, into submission." (al-Baqara 208). The word “al-silm” in the Arabic original of this verse refers to Islam.
So Islam means "submission to a god" which in the Islamic context meant surrender to Mohammad as long as that murderous lustful fiend lived, and after he was poisoned to death, Islam has meant that we non-Muslims surrender to the Muslims by accepting Islam and along with Islam all of us accept their murderous attitudes, their Arabic language, their hirsute habits of growing beards, their dress code of wearing caps and turbans, long gowns and covering women in tent like Hijab, marry four ladies and have an endless number of kids, and use our heads for only one purpose - nodding it robotically while reciting that instruction Manual of Hate and terror - the Quran!
We need to realize how effortlessly we are led up the garden path by the wily Muslims, to embrace and spout their bluff that “Islam is a religion of peace”.

Mohammad’s self-delusion is evident in the first phrase in Islam
His self delusion was evident in the first sentence that he preached "La ilah ilallah, Mohammad ur Rasulallah" "There is no god, but allah and Mohammad is his Prophet."
This way he had cleverly removed any competition to himself from any other concept of god. He borrowed his idea of god from the main god of the Quraish - Allah whose image was one of the many that were being worshipped at the Kaaba. But with this first statement, Mohammad also placed himself on a pedestal, that was unique. He was the prophet of god and the last prophet at that, so he brooked no competition ever after.
This kind of a flagrant egoism, earned him many detractors. And when he started preaching that all gods other than Allah were false gods, the Meccans panicked. Since the existence of these many gods brought people to Mecca on pilgrimage and earned the Meccans good money. The aristocracy of the Quraish tribe, saw a grave threat to their own position as intercessors between the lay Arabs and the gods in the Kaaba, as with Mohammad’s proclamation, it was he alone who was to be recognized as a prophet and intercessor.
The reason why all Muslim males have Mohammad as part of their name.
Mohammad made himself immortal and omnipresent among the Muslims by making it obligatory that all his followers have his name Mohammad as part of their name too. So today we find names like Mohammad Atta, Mohammad Bin Laden, Mohammad Khatami, Mohammad Ali and so on. It is for this reason, that his followers have been termed “Mohammadeans” – the followers of Mohammad, although they do not like this appellation.
Sunnat - Emulating Mohammad’s behavior in all respects
Apart from having his name as a part of theirs, Muslims also are paranoid about each and every one of them being a clone of Mohammad. The ritual of emulating Mohammad in everything is called the Sunnat (or Sunnah). Muslim males emulate him in doing everything he did like drinking camel urine, dyeing hair red by using henna, in addition to emulating Mohammad’s usual traits of being murderous, lecherous, and deceptive. Emulating their founder's traits are for all Muslims an act of faith! So much for individual liberty in this murder cult called Islam!
The reason for the Conversion of Ali to Islam
In Mecca, Mohammad got the support of his powerful uncle Abu Talib, who never embraced Islam and remained an idolater all his life till his death in 620, but he stoutly defended his nephew Mohammad and his rants against the gods of the Quraish of Mecca.

Mohammad desperately tried to increase his following and he used threats and subterfuge to convert people. He initially targeted his message towards his relatives who were near to him and who could be easily fall for his pernicious plot. His first convert was his wife Khadija who was followed by his slave Zaid. But even in his family circle, he encountered resistance.
Islam’s Abrahamic heritage originated from Mohammad’s Christian wife – Khadija
Before her conversion to Islam, Khadija incidentally had been a Christian, and it was she who introduced the illiterate Mohammad to the biblical stories of Abraham, Issac, Sarah, Hagar, Ismael, Moses, etc. This is how Mohammad incorporated a bastardized version of the bible in his compilation that he called the Quran (from the Arabic word ‘Qurrah’ – to collect). So tt was Christianity that also gave the iconoclastic angle to Mohammad’s ideas, as also the entire Judeo-Christian hangover that is to be seen in Islam. The pre-Islamic pagan Arabs, knew nothing about the Bible or the Torah. The only link that they had with the Jews was the Arabic language that belonged to the Semitic family. Pre-Islamic Arab lore and poetry had no references to Moses, Solomon, Abraham. This Islam owes to Mohammad’s Christian wife – Khajida.
His trusted cousin, who later also became his son-in-law, Ali (Abu Talib’s son) was honor bound to defend Mohammad’s life and limb, but he too initially resisted Mohammad’s coercion to give up the worship of the gods of the Kaaba and to embrace Islam. His father Abu Talib forbade him to embrace Islam, as he himself never did till his death. But both of them as they were close relatives of Mohammad, were honor bound to defend Mohammad and prevent the Meccans from harming him.
After Abu Talib died in 620, Mohammad blackmailed Ali by saying that he could not intercede with allah on behalf of Abu Talib, since he had not given up the worship of the gods of the Kaaba and so Abu Talib was now burning in Hell (Jahannum).
Ali who was then grieving from the loss of his father was emotionally weak as his resistance to Mohammad gradually broke during this emotionally weak phase. He finally fell prey to Mohammad’s blackmail and sought refuge in Mohammad’s cunning subterfuge. This was how Mohammad got his first major youthful convert. Ali was then a strong and brave teenager who was to play a major role in the attacks that Mohammad was to launch on the Meccans and later in the Muslim invasions of Persia and Byzantine.
Why had Mohammad to use his guile to escape from the Meccan plot to murder him, when there was an Allah to save him?
The Meccan Quraish aristocracy, looked upon this as a direct threat to their position and they plotted to murder Mohammad. But the cunning chap that he was, he got to hear of it and gave them the slip and escaped in the dead of the night to Yathrib (Medina). But the fact that he had to escape from his would be assassins in the dead of the night makes one wonder why Allah did not strike dead his assassins, rather than having him flee like a coward from Mecca!
The Hegira - flight to Medina
This led to the second seminal event in Mohammad life, his escape (called migration or Hejira in Arabic) to Yathrib (later renamed Medina by Mohammad ) where lived the rivals of the Meccans. This took place in 622 C.E. (which marks the beginning of the Hejira or Hijri era of the Muslims). In Medina lived two comminutes, the pagan polytheistic Arabs and the Jews. The two communities were often on the warpath and there were innumerable battles between them. We need to note that the Jews were (and are) also of the same ethnic stock as the pre-Islamic Arab tribes. The Arabs were more numerous, but the Jews by virtue of being traders were more prosperous and better organized, they also had built fortresses within and around Medina to defend themselves during their internecine fights with the pre-Islamic Arab tribes around Yathrib (Medina).
In these many battles the Jews were normally victorious against the Arabs. And they used to boast that they would one day wipe out the Arabs when the prophet of god would appear among them.
Why did the Arabs of Medina embrace Islam
Now at Medina, the people knew that Mohammad had been declaring himself to be the prophet of god, and he was on his way to Medina. The Arabs of Medina decided to outwit the Jews by becoming his followers and seek his help in defeating the Jews, before the Jews could get to him. This is why the Arabs of Medina (Yathrib) welcomed Mohammad, in whom they saw an opportunity to break the monopoly of the Jews as also get back at their other rivals the Meccans. It was this that made them sympathetic to him. The Muslims of today would have you believe that they were impressed by his message of worshipping one god, who sole prophet he claimed to be. This is horseshit.

An artist’s illustration of one of Mohammad’s stupidities that are parroted by Muslims as the gospel truth. A Muslim has one intestines while a non-Muslim has seven!
As proof the Quran tells the Muslims to eat in a crouching position! So sitting on a chair at a dinning table is haram – sacrilegious for a Muslim!
Well, we are not so sure about the intestines part, but going by their behavior, Muslims certainly have no brains.
This portrait of his is by Abdullah Aziz (Praise be to him) of
http://www.islamcomicbook.com.
The Arabs of Medina cared two hoots for the bunk that Mohammad parroted to elevate himself as a leader of the Arabs. Abdullah-ibn-ubay, the leader of Medina displayed contempt for Mohammad openly and for this was looked upon with disfavor by Mohammad. But he was powerless to act against Adullah-ibn-ubay at that time, but both continued to be rivals for a long time, till Mohammad with his craftiness eclipse Ubay. Mohammad compelled Ubay to embrace Islam and then declared that Ubay was a Munafqin (hypocrite) or one who had become a Muslim for Munafa (personal gain). In fact all of Mohammad’s followers were in Islam for Munafa, since his promise of plunder and chance to rape captive women of the enemy was what had attracted all the criminals among the Arabs to join Mohammad’s gang.
At his core, Mohammad was nothing more than a power grabber, who slyly used religion to promote himself. And the people of Mecca as well as those of Medina saw through that. It was only that the people of Medina, saw in him a tool to get back at the Jews and the Quraish of Mecca, so some of them decided to prop him up. He had many opponents among the Arabs of Medina too. Prominent among them were the poets, whom Mohammad got murdered to silence their opposition to his schemes.
Mohammad begins his dirty work – with his raids - Ghazawats on Meccan caravans
So we see how his following from among the people of Medina, was thus a political ploy of Medina, against Mecca, to add grist to the mill of an already existent rivalry. There was no lofty reason for which Mohammad got his first converts in Medina (Yathrib). Immediately on getting a following among a people who looked upon Mecca as a rival, Mohammad organized them to take his first revenge on the Meccans, and he started regularly raiding the caravans of the Meccans that passed by Medina. He organized 64 such raids from 622 to 630, of which he personally led 27 raids. These raids were called Ghazawats or Razzias.

Mohammad’s cruelty and guile made themselves evident at the Battle of Badr (2 A.H., 624 C.E.) - the first battle he fought
The Meccans finally got fed up of Mohammad’s antics and attacked him in Medina. This led to the first major battle in Mohammad’s life - the battle of Badr. The Meccan army was led by Amr ibn Hisham (whom the Muslims refer to derogatorily as Abu Jahal - Father of Ignorance). In this battle, he realized that the far stronger Meccan army could only be defeated by guile. He ordered all the water springs outside Medina, to be sanded-up, so that the attacking Meccans would be without any sustenance. Now this would have been a legitimate tactic in war, but coming from a messenger of god to contrive to starve people of his own clan of water in order to defeat, betrayed Mohammad 's ruthless mentality which showed that he was far from anything saintly!
The Meccans decided to outwit Mohammad and attack Medina during a cloudburst, to obviate the need for water. But the heavily armored Meccan army got trapped in the slushy sands outside Medina and they were thrown in disarray with camels falling over each other in total disorder unable to meet the infantry charges of the Mohammad 's rag-tag, but highly motivated gang.
Mohammad had instructed his followers not to take prisoners and all the Meccans who fell off their camels were instantly beheaded. The carnage that followed led to a complete rout of the Meccans and the victory of a bandit whose followers were to carry forward this bloodied legacy across continents, slaughtering millions of people. Amr ibn Hisham (whom the Muslims refer to derogatorily as Abu Jahal - Father of Ignorance), the leader of the Meccan army was trapped under his camel that had lost its balance and fallen to the ground. In this position when he could not fight back, he was beheaded by Umar – the future Khalifa Caliph. His head was presented by Umar to Mohammad who was delighted to see his enemy decapitated. (“Strike of the heads of the non-believers” is the mentality Mohammad drilled into his followers. And this commandment found its way into the Quran whose word is followed by the Zarqawi and Al Qaeda thugs even today).
The defeat at Badr stunned the Meccans into disbelief and there was despondency and mourning amongst the populace. They foresaw worse things to come.

Lust for booty and slaves, spurred the followers of Mohammad
Mohammad spurred his followers with lust for booty and sex slaves. The captured womenfolk were distributed by Mohammad amongst his followers and so was the booty distributed. Thus his followers had greed to motivate them, while the Quraish were fighting a defensive war to protect their caravans from Mohammad 's predatory raids. (As the Americans are today also fighting the War on Terror to keep the oil flowing from the Mid-east oil wells). While Mohammad was fighting to disrupt his adversary (as Osama and Zarqawi are doing today)
Mohammad also drilled into his followers the fantasy that if they died, they would reach heavan (Jann'at) where they would be served upon by 72 virgins (Houris) and pearly eyed boys (for the perverts among his followers). The motivation of the Quraish was to defend their business and way of life, as is that of the Americans today to ensure the flow of oil and defend the Western way of life. In this struggle, Mohammad with his dangling the carrots of booty and slaves along with the fantasy of landing in heaven with its 72 virgins for those who died, was able to ensure that his gangsters (the first Muslims) became insanely paranoid in battle.
They had everything to gain, and nothing to lose. While the Quraish were businessmen, fighting to get rid of a menace to their way of life. This difference in the motivation levels led to the defeat of the Quraish and to successive defeats of the many non-Muslim armies that opposed the Muslims first through Asia, then through Africa and finally through Europe. We Americans would do well to remember this today as we fight the War on Terror (Islam).
Lessons about the Muslim psyche that the Battle of Badr tell us
Badr was the first battle where the paranoid Muslim gangsters which that power hungry megalomaniac of Mecca had gathered around him, showed feats of desperate foolhardiness, that paid off and stunned the opposing forces. This was to repeat itself many a time through the course of Muslim history, thus building a false fantasy that allah was aiding the Muslims. What was aiding them, was no allah, but in fact it was their lust and greed. Mohammad had worked his followers into a frenzy and as a hungry man knows no law, these gangsters, rapists, murders would stoop to any level to defeat an enemy. The world has not yet learnt this fountainhead of Muslim psychology, so cleverly built by the founding father of terrorism - Mohammad -ibn-Abadallah.
On the victory of the Muslims at the Battle of Badr, an ex-Muslim historian Sher Khan writes in Islam Watch " The reason of victory was not a miracle. Usually, robbers and murderers are more desperate than normal people. They have nothing to lose if they are caught so they take a chance. We often see dozens of police officers chasing a handful of bank robbers; still, they manage to escape after committing the crime. Most importantly, it was a win-win situation for the Muslims who fought at Badr. If they died they were promised to go to heaven, which is full of see-through virgins; if they survived they would receive the spoils of war. Fleeing from the battle was not a good option, either. While explaining the sura An-Anfal, Ibn Kathir confirms in the 'tafsir', "Fleeing from Battle is prohibited, and it's Punishment: Allah said, while warning against fleeing from the battlefield and threatening those who do it with the Fire." In contrast, the people of Quraish were reluctant to fight. They had no intention of shedding blood if their property was safe. When the people of Quraish were asked to fight, they said they wanted to avoid the war." But the Muslims were desperate as all robbers and thugs are and they threw caution to the winds and carried the battle.
Why does Islam prohibit Alcohol?
On this subject Sher Khan adds that at the Battle of Badr, "They (Muslims) successfully robbed the caravan and returned home with an abundance of riches.
This legendary robbery was known as the famous Battle of Badr. Later, they too, like the outlaws of the 'Wild Wild West', got drunk. Hamza, one of the members of the gang, was so drunk that he did not realize that he killed and cut two humps of a camel that belonged to Ali, the soon-to-be son-in-law of Mohammad. (Drinking alcohol was not prohibited in nascent Islam; it was banned at a later date.) There is a reference in Hadith, "Narrated Ali: I got a she-camel in my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr,..-. Allah's Apostle started rebuking Hamza for what he had done, but Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red--" (Khumus, Sahi Bukhari)."
Hence came the Islamic injunction against drinking to prevent Muslims from being distracted from looting and plundering the non-Muslims and to avoid divisions amongst the faithful(sic) while sharing the loot under the influence of alcohol.
The Quraish knew Muhammad very well. Hence they used to call him 'Mudhammam', which means a troublemaker or a rascal, instead of Muhammad, meaning the laudable (Ishaq: 234).

So Islam was, and still is, a one way dead-end street, while you can enter it, there is no way out!
Islamic theology (sic) absolved all crimes if they were committed while fighting non-Muslims
One of the cardinal principles of Islam is that when a Muslim commits any foul and heinous deed in order to bring victory to his gang (of Muslims), Islamic law forgives all those deeds in the name of Muslims waging a Jihad against the Non-Muslims (Kafirs). Mohammad preached contempt for all non-Muslim and told his gangsters that the non-Muslims were living in ignorance (Jahiliyaa) and that he would lead his followers to enlightenment (Ailm or ilm). This enlightenment forgave all acts of rape, murder, torture, as long as they were committed against the non-Muslims (Kafirs).
In all of Islam's existence of 1400 years very few have been able to recognize this heinous nature of Islam. Today those who are fighting the Muslims need to get an understanding of what they are up against, if they are to defeat the Muslims and destroy the threat of Islam once and forever.
What the Jihad Signifies
The Battle of Badr marked the beginning of the Islamic terror of Jihad. The Muslims had begun their dirty work. the Jihad was on, and on in earnest. Mohammad gave this name Jihad (from Jahada which in Arabic means struggle) to his war campaign. In reality it was not a struggle, it was in fact genocide against all humanity - since at that time except for the gang of small bandits at Medina led by Mohammad, everyone else was non-Muslim. This defeat of the Meccans in 624, was also the first victory for the forces of that evil genius Mohammad.
