A popular narrative today is that Islam is a religion of peace, and terrorists are not true Muslims. It is one of the most ridiculous things ever invented in this world of crazy inventions. Today’s Islamic fundamentalists are not “extremists.” They are the true Muslims who are taking their religion seriously. They are walking faithfully in the footsteps of Islam’s founding father. Islam means surrender, and the Islamic definition of peace is Islamic control over the world. According to Islam, the world is divided into Dar al-Harb (the world of war or the non-Islamic people) and Dar al-Islam (the world of peace or the Muslim world). “The presumption is that the duty of jihad will continue, interrupted only by truces, until all the world either adopts the Muslim faith or subjects to the Muslim rule” (Gene Gerganus, Peril of Islam: Telling the Truth, pp. 59, 60). Within 200 years after Muhammad, Muslim armies had conquered many kingdoms and created an Islamic caliphate that covered more than five million square miles. They had conquered the Sassanid Empire (Persia, Mesopotamia, Assyria). They had conquered much of the Byzantine Empire. They had conquered north Africa and Spain. This was done by the edge of the sword and was accompanied by unspeakable cruelty. This is an irrefutable fact of history, and facts are stubborn things that always outlive the naysayers.
