Radical Islam is now in possession of weapons of mass destruction. This is not an attack on Islam, since moderate Moslem scholars, we have spoken to, have condemned radical Islam in the strongest terms. But the voices of the moderates are being heard less and less. We have compiled information from intelligence reports, reliable news sources, experts, and scholars to bring you the important information you do not receive from your daily newspapers or television news.

TERRORISTS HAVE NUCLEAR BOMB ELEMENTS

Terrorist organizations around the world have succeeded in obtaining elements for the construction of a nuclear bomb, according to a United Nations report.

The report said the organizations have obtained material from nuclear reactors in the former Soviet Union, and that the terrorists groups have been leading clients of traffickers in smuggled nuclear goods. As a result, the UN said, more than 100 terrorist groups are now capable of developing an atomic bomb. (MENL)

250 SUICIDE BOMBERS RECRUITED

Palestinian extremists held a meeting in the Jerusalem area Saturday. May 19, where they recruited some 250 volunteer suicide bombers, sources said. They did not say which Palestinian factions, besides Hamas and Islamic Jihad, attended the meeting. A poll by the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center (JMCC) finds that 73% of Palestinians support suicide-bombing operations against Israeli civilians in Israel. (Source JPFS and IMRA)

ISLAM AGAINST CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM

"First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people." This is how some observers describe the strategy of the Moslems, who see as their this-worldly destiny the replacement not only Judaism (the Saturday people) but also of Christianity.

The May issue of Barnabas Magazine reports that the year 2000 was marked by a rising tide of anti-Christian violence world wide. In EGYPT, gangs of armed Muslims in the village of El-Kashh went from door to door gunning down or cutting the throats of 20 Christians and destroying over 260 homes and businesses. In INDONESIA, Muslim warriors from the Laskar Jihad have been systematically raiding Christian villages, setting the churches on fire and murdering those villagers who fail to escape. Since January 1999 at least 5,000 Christians have been massacred and about a half million made refugees. Over 455 churches have been destroyed. An estimated 7000 Christians have been forcibly converted to Islam.

GENOCIDE AND SLAVERY IN THE SUDAN

Troops from the Moslem-controlled Sudanese government, backed by tanks, helicopters, gunships and aerial bombardments tortured and slaughtered men, women and children in a drive to remove all Southerners, who are predominantly Christian, from areas around the Bentiu oil fields, in what the New Sudan Council of Churches described as "genocide."

Dr. Peter Hammonds, director of Frontline Fellowship, has visited the Sudan many times. Dr. Hammonds told WorldNet Daily (May 27, 2001):

The government of Sudan wants to enforce Islamic law on the Christians in the South. When the Christians resisted this, the government started bombing their hospitals and schools and enslaving their children. It's very bad.. The Muslim government calls it a 'Jihad,' a holy war.. Everyone must become Arabic in language and culture and Islamic in religion, or they must be enslaved, killed or driven into exile. That is the official policy that the leaders of the Sudan have stated.

The government of Sudan is using the United Nations food aid for forcible Islamization and Arabization. People have to convert to Islam and beg for the food in the name of Allah before they receive it.

Dr. Hammonds stated that when starving people convert to Islam to get aid, and then turn away from Islam back to Christianity they are guilty of a capitol offence and can be executed. Many have been executed for the crime of apostasy.

Dr. Hammonds points out that here in the 21st Century the slave trade is flourishing, with the encouragement of the Arab-Moslem government of Sudan.

Behind the Sudanese government stand two oil companies, the Canadian Talisman Energy and China Petroleum. But Dr. Hammonds says much of the blame must be laid on the Western media, which does not report this genocide or slave trade, as well as on black leaders like Louis Farrakhan and Jesse Jackson. "In fact, they have both been guests of the Arab slave traders and the regime that not only allows it but encourages it."

PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

In the Palestinian Authority under Yassir Arafat persecution of Christian Arabs by Palestinian Moslems is increasing. This past month alone some fifty Christian families from the Bethlehem-area town of Beit Sahour have tried to emigrate. Two American courts recently granted asylum to Palestinian Christian Arabs on the ground that they would be persecuted for their religious beliefs if they returned to Palestinian Authority areas.

In 1998, then U.S. Senator Connie Mack told the Senate about meeting with Christians who were being persecuted and tortured by Arafat's Palestinian Authority. because of their beliefs. "How can the people of Israel find peace when the Palestinian Authority engages in coercion and torture based upon religious belief?". Mack asked the Senators. (Source Arutz Sheva)

PALESTINIAN AND ARAB CALLS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND THE KILLING OF JEWS

Of course it is the Jews and Israel which bear the brunt of Arab and Islamic hatred and violence. Palestinian Authority television, leaders, clergy, as well as the official media in the Arab world spew forth daily attacks on Jews and Israel reminiscent of the Nazis. Calls for the destruction of both Israel and the United States are common. Typical is the statement by Dr. Ahmed Abu Halibiya, a member of the Palestinian Authority "Fatwa Council" in a sermon broadcast on PA television in October 2000: "Have no mercy on Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Wherever you meet them, kill them...wherever you are, kill those Jews."

On June 15, 2001, a week after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 20 young Israelis at a Tel Aviv disco, the official Palestinian TV broadcast a sermon calling for suicide bombings and the destruction of Israel, the United States, and Britain.

Sheikh Ibrahim Madhi said, "Allah willing, this unjust state.Israel, will be erased; this unjust state the United States will be erased; this unjust state Britain will be erased- they who caused the people's Naka." The Naka (catastrophe) is how the Palestinians refer to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. Madhi then went on to praise the suicide bomber who killed 20 young Jews.

NBC News reported that teachers lead Palestinian school children in chants, "We ask Allah to destroy the Jews." Palestinian Authority leaders often state that their Palestinian state will extend from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, i.e. covering all of Israel.

"I want to say that our Palestine is from Metullah to Rafiah.from the River to the Sea." (Dr. Jareer al-Kidwah, Arafat's Education Advisor on PA TV, Nov 29, 2000)

Feisal al-Hussein, Arafat's former "foreign minister", said publicly in November 1994 "Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war. We shall not rest until we destroy Israel." (Bulletin of the Jerusalem Institute for Western Defense, June 1994).

Writing in Egypt's major newspaper, AL AHRAM, Dr. Ayaha al Rakhawi states, "We cannot help but see before us the figure of the great man, Hitler, may G-d have mercy on him, who was the wisest of those who confronted this problem.and out of compassion for humanity tried to exterminate every Jew, but despaired of curing this cancerous growth on the body of mankind."

This is daily fare in the Arab world. The noted columnist Cal Thomas wrote: "While the press focuses on the escalation of killing and retaliation in and around Israel, it mostly ignores the fires of hate against Jews that are being stoked to insure violence continues."

Israeli Evan Zahav told the Intelligence Briefing: "There seems to be little difference in what the Arabs say about the Jews and what the Nazis said about the Jews. Yassir Arafat has made it clear that his aim is the destruction of Israel and its replacement with yet another Arab state.

"Every day Jews are being killed -school buses blown up, drive- by shootings, suicide bombers in shopping malls, babies shot in the arms of their parents. Should the Arabs ever gain power over Israel we would witness Nazi-like massacres."

ISLAMIST THREAT TO AMERICA

The thousands of pages of evidence from the recent trial of the four terrorists accused of blowing up U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania reveal that Osama bin-Laden and his Qaeda group see the United States as the ultimate enemy of Islam. Daniel Pipes and Steven Emerson write in The Wall Street Journal (May 31, 2001): "Inspired by their victory over the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, the leaders of Al-Qaeda aspire to a similar victory over America, hoping ultimately to bring Islamist rule here. Towards this end, they engaged in many attacks on American targets from 1993 to 1998, including two U.S embassies and the USS Cole.

Bin Laden has issued a 100-minute videotape urging Islamic militants to join his holy war against the United States and Israel. In the tape he calls for "blood, blood and destruction, destruction." (N.Y. Post, June 20, 2001). Bin Laden has set up a tightly organized system of cells in an array of American cities including Brooklyn, N.Y., Orlando, FL, Dallas, Santa Clara, Calif., Columbia, MO., and Herndon, VA.

Pipes and Emerson write that Al-Qaeda's reach is worldwide and it has been very successful recruiting amongst Moslem immigrants in the U.S. Only the arrest of Ahmed Ressam and Mokhtar Haouari by alert customs officials in Washington State and New York State prevented massacres in several American cities, including Los Angeles International Airport. "To fight Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups requires an understanding that they {along with some [Moslem] states} have silently declared war on the U.S.; in turn we must fight them as would in a war."

INTIMIDATION BY ISLAMIC GROUPS TO THWART FREE SPEECH

In a superb article in Commentary Magazine (Nov. 1999), Daniel Pipes detailed the intimidation and threats by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) against the American media whenever anyone dares to suggest publicly that Hamas or other terrorist networks operate in the United States, or indeed dares to support those who say such things.

CAIR almost successfully had Steven Emerson blacklisted form National Public Radio after his excellent documentaries about Islamist terrorist groups in the United States. They have gone after the Dallas Morning News, The Tampa Tribune, the Journal of the American Medical Association (for investigating the medical conditions of victims of terrorism,} and almost anyone who publishes articles detrimental to terrorist groups, or who writes anything about Islam that they do not like.

After Morton Zuckerman, Editor in Chief of U.S. News and World Report factually wrote, "the doctrine of the prophet Muhammad of making treaties with enemies while he is weak, violating them when he is strong." The attacks on the magazine were so widespread and threatening that the magazine issued two apologies, even though its original information was factual. This spells danger to our freedom of expression and to a free press. Middle East commentators Emanuel Winston adds; "Yes, CNN, the BBC, the New York Times are scared to death. They fear that a car filled with explosives will pull up in front of The London Times or CNN in Atlanta or The New York Times and blow away their building. They fear that as producers and directors they will be followed home and assassinated at their own garages - or kidnapped. So they 'love' the terrorists and invent justification for their hideous atrocities against the Jews in Israel and all other innocent people around the world. In effect, the media have, of course, become co-conspirators and organic extension of terrorist operations."

Pipes warns: 'If the Islamists have their way, any possibility of speaking the truth not only about them but about Islam itself will be foreclosed. What the Islamists are demanding in short is that the United States take a giant step toward applying within its borders the strictures of Islamic law (the Sharia'a) itself. A basic premise of that body if law is that no one, and especially no non-Moslem, may openly discuss certain subjects, some of the very subjects, as it happens, that CAIR wishes to render taboo. It is a fact that when the guard of the democratic majority is let down, determined minorities in pursuit of anti-democratic aims can sometimes get their way." Pipes lists several writers who have been killed in other countries for speaking out against Islam, the murder of Rashad Khalifa in Tucson, and notes that Emerson has received serious death threats. "Emerson suggests that, despite the Constitution's guarantees of freedom of religion and freedom of speech, when it comes to Islam, unapproved thinking can lead to personal danger or even death"

MOSLEM GROUP SAYS THAT RADICAL ISLAM MISREPRESENTS ISLAM

Sheikh Abdad Hadi Palazzi, secretary general of the Italian Muslim association has attacked CAIR and the Islamists for falsely representing Islam with their terrorist agenda. He has lauded Emerson and Pipes for challenging the Islamists and he and several other Muslim scholars from the Italian Moslem association issued a devastating critique of Muslims who war on Israel in the name of Islam. (Issued May 18, 2000l)

The Council harshly attacked Arafat's Palestinian Authority:

These so-called Muslims send our children to die in acts of fitnah (sedition), while they direct the suicidal sacrifice and slaughter of these children from safe command posts, far from battle.

In defense of a wicked regime, innocent children are sent to be killed in criminal actions. This regime even dares to declare that Islam approves of these criminal acts, and compares them to jihad fi sabili-Llah (actions for the sake of Allah).

The Council noted that Islamic law requires believers to obey any country that allows them to pray communally. Sedition against such governments (like Israel, which allows and even subsidizes Islamic worship) is haram (forbidden) and considered worse than murder. The Council also attacked the Islamic suicide bombers who murder innocent civilians and that "they risk dying the death of pagans and will surely be in hellfire."

In another lengthy article Sheikh Palazzi noted that the Koran, like the Bible, states that the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people. He cited Sura 17:104, "The Night Journey" and Sura 5:22-23, "The Table.", both of which emphasize the connection of the Jewish people to Israel.

"But Sheikh Pallazzi is one among only a few voices of reason and sanity," writes Pipes. Within the universe of Muslims who speak and write about Islam and its position in the modern world, the Islamists have the upper hand. That is not only a tragedy for Muslims, but a danger to the rest of us."

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

The Bible repeatedly states the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people. God says to Jacob: "I will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession." (Genesis 48:4)

The return of the Jewish people to their land is a miracle prophesied many times in the Bible: "And I will bring back the captivity of my people.and I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked out of their land which I have given them, says the Lord thy God." (Amos 9:14-15).

Thus, it is God's will that the Jews live in the Land of Israel, and it is the duty of Bible believers to ensure that we support God's will by helping Israel. It is also the duty of all who believe in justice to help Israel, a tiny state, smaller than New Jersey, surrounded by enemies 50 times larger, committed to its destruction.

The Jews in Israel are in the frontline of the war against radical Islam. They are protecting us. Even so, Western governments and media under the sway of Arab money, oil and intimidation continuously pressure Israel to make more and more suicidal concession Yes, even the United States is always pressuring Israel to give up land and not to retaliate against the terrorists who murder innocent civilians.

The Bible prophesies that in the end of days all the nations will come against Jerusalem. It is happening now. But God says, "It shall come to pass in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem." (Zechariah 12:9) It is extremely important for the welfare of our country and for our families that we are on Israel's side.

History has taught that the appeasement of dictators always leads to war and destruction. The appeasement of Hitler before World War Two is a perfect example. If we continue to appease radical Islamic regimes and terrorist organizations, now in possession of weapons of mass destruction, we can become the victims of war and destruction. Since Israel is now in the front line now, supporting Israel is helping ourselves. A victory over Israel would allow radical Islam and the Arabs to focus its aggression on the United States and Europe.
