MUHAMMAD’S VULGAR FACE
by Silas
INTRODUCTION
This article is not about Muhammad’s appearance (although I include
an actual description of him at the end). Rather, this article is about the nature (face)
of Muhammad and his religion, Islam.
I’m examining several aspects related to Islam and the world today:
1) Not often mentioned examples of early Islamic violence and terrorism
2) Muhammad’s teachings on the application of violence
3) Current events and how the West is struggling to cope with that face
4) What the future holds for the West
The violence and hatred you see in Muslims today are a reflection of
Muhammad's face; a reflection of Muhammad’s actions and teachings; a reflection of
his character, his nature. Muhammad had different faces: a devoted and loving face to
those that obeyed him, and a harsh, violent face to those that disbelieved him. I use the
term "vulgar" because I cannot think of a better term to describe Muhammad's
attitude toward, and commands against, those that rejected his claim to be a prophet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) DEPICTIONS OF TERRORIST VIOLENCE
You’re aware of the recent Muslim violence around the world. Does a
week go by during which you don’t hear of Muslims bombing, murdering, burning, or
destroying others throughout the world? You cannot find a region, except for Antarctica,
that the Muslims have not perpetrated a crime against innocents. The actions of the
devout Muslims are a criminal poison in the world today.
Compare the actions of the devout Muslims today with what Muhammad and his
followers did to those that rejected him….
1) Muhammad’s followers had attacked a neighboring Arab tribe and suffered
a defeat. Later they returned and conquered that tribe. They took the survivors as
captives. However one of the tribe’s leaders was an old woman whom they tied
between two camels and ripped her apart! [1]
2) One Muslim man had a female slave who he had sex with and impregnated.
She bore him children. But she was not a Muslim, (yes Islam allows Muslims to take female
slaves and use them for sex). She criticized Islam’s founder Muhammad. The man
didn’t like her doing that so one day, he had enough and he stabbed her to death.
Muhammad said that her killing was legal under Islam because she criticized him. [2]
3) Muhammad sent his men to assassinate a man who disparaged him. The men,
who were once the man’s friends, went to his house at night and lied to him in order
to get him to leave his house. They said they were leaving Islam and needed his help. He
opened his door to them and went out to speak with them. They seized him and stabbed him
to death. Then they cut off his head and brought it to Muhammad. They all shouted
"Allah Akbar!" and rejoiced that they successfully murdered him. [3]
You can read about all of those brutalities in the references provided.
All of them are documented in early Islamic writings, the writings of Islamic scholars
who loved Muhammad and Islam. Are any of these crimes any different from what you see
the devout Muslims in the world today perpetrating? How do you feel about them?
Wouldn’t you agree that those early Muslim criminals are every bit as evil
as the Muslim bombers in London? Aren’t they every bit as sickening as the Yemeni
Muslim who shot the American nurse in the face because he wanted to be closer to
Allah? Aren’t they as devilish as the Muslim who murdered Theo Van Gogh, or the
Muslims who blew up the trains in Spain, or the Muslims who beheaded the children in
Indonesia, or the stupid Muslims who tortured and murdered an American Quaker named Tom
Fox, or the vicious Muslims who murdered Atwar Bahjat? You know full well I could go on
and on and on and on about the continuing parade of atrocities committed by devout Muslims
throughout the world.
You cannot tell the actions of today’s Muslims apart from what Muhammad did.
This is because today’s Muslim terrorists are doing what he did! Today’s
Muslim terrorists are obeying Muhammad’s teachings and putting those teachings
into action. He tortured people, they torture people. He beheaded people, they behead
people. He murdered people, they murder people. They imitate him. Study the Islamic
source materials for yourself and read about the atrocities Muhammad and his followers
committed.
Enough with the nonsense about Islam being hijacked!

2) MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS ON VIOLENCE
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's
character, give him power. Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
Muhammad’s story is the story of a man who comes into power and uses
that power to crush those that oppose him. Muhammad mixed politics with his dictatorial
man-made religion.
Don’t take anybody’s word for it, not even mine. Do your own
thinking and studying. I’ve had so many people, including Muslims, write me and tell
me that they had no idea that Muhammad was so brutal. But once they started reading about
him for themselves, they saw the light. Many have left Islam, and that is a good thing.
They’ve realized that there is a poison in Islam, that it was harmful to society, and
so they left it. Many have realized what the French philosopher Ernest Renan said,
"Muslims are the first victims of Islam. Many times I have observed
in my travels in the Orient that fanaticism comes from a small number of dangerous men who
maintain the others in the practice of religion by terror. To liberate the Muslim from his
religion is the best service one can render him."
ON TO THE TEACHINGS
To highlight Muhammad’s teachings I’m going to present a few
quotes from some of the earliest Islamic source materials available. They are respected by
devout Muslims worldwide.
- Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None
has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face
our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to
us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with
Allah." [4]
- So when the sacred months have passed away then slay the idolaters wherever you find
them and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush,
then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor rate, leave their way free to
them, surely Allah is forgiving, Merciful. [5]
- Fight those who do not believe in Allah nor in the latter days nor do they prohibit what
Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth out of those who
have been given the Book until they pay the tax and acknowledgment of superiority and they
are in a state of subjection. [6]
- "To John ibn Rabah and the Chiefs of Aylah. Peace be on you! I praise God for you,
beside whom there is no Lord. I will not fight against you until I have written thus unto
you. Believe, or else pay tribute. And be obedient unto the Lord and his Prophet, and the
messengers of his Prophet. Honor them and clothe them with excellent vestments, not with
inferior raiment. Specially clothe Zeid with excellent garments. As long as my messengers
are pleased, so likewise am I. Ye know the tribute. If ye desire to have security by sea
and by land, obey the Lord and his Apostle, and he will defend you from every claim,
whether by Arab or foreigner, saving the claim of the Lord and his Apostle. But if ye
oppose and displease them, I will not accept from you a single thing, until I have fought
against you and taken captive your little ones and slain the elder. [7]
You can read in specific detail about the various quotes above in the articles referenced
here [8]. I provide the context and an analysis on these and many others.
Muhammad did indeed teach terrorism and he put his teachings into practice. He walked
the walk. So did his followers. After he died tens of thousands of people left Islam,
and tens of thousands of them were forced to re-convert to Islam after other thousands
were slaughtered by Muslim armies.
Religion of peace did you say? Are you kidding me?
I know one ex-Muslim who said to me, "I memorized the Quran and knew
that it called Muhammad a mercy for mankind. But as I studied his life I saw the trail of
blood behind him grow ever wider. I could not reconcile his violence and killing with what
the Quran said about him." This Muslim studied Muhammad’s life according to the
earliest Islamic source materials at an Islamic religious university.
You see, its all there, available in English, waiting for a na飗e and
lazy Western audience to read.
Of course you won’t find intellectual cowards like Juan Cole,
Steve Waldman, or Gary Leupp addressing
Muhammad’s evil deeds. It’s too politically incorrect to tell it like it is
about Muhammad. It’s a shame; they’re all intelligent men. Their hatred and
bias are often vented against others but when they write about Muhammad they turn
a blind eye to his crimes.
Muhammad’s teachings and actions are the foundation that today’s
Muslim terrorists build upon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) ISLAM IN ACTION TODAY
I am not going to write in detail on what the Muslims have been doing. You can find
plenty of information on the Muslim hit parade here:
Michelle Malkin: http://www.michellemalkin.com/
Daniel Pipes: http://www.danielpipes.org/
Robert Spencer: http://jihadwatch.org/
All the above writers do an excellent job on informing their readers about
the evil perpetrated by today’s Muslims.
Islam has flexed its muscles. The politically correct West has a mouthful of
the bitter taste of Islam. Many feminine Europeans have buckled. Look at their leaders
stop in unbelief and dismay. Some Danes have taken a stand, but others wring their hands
and betray their brothers. Muslims intimidated the Western press into cringing and
dancing the coward’s dance (more
info). Isn’t it amazing to see the once stout Western press reduced to a pack
of bleating sheep? Those Americans have caved worst of all. Let’s hope that
Europeans remember their history and learn a lesson from Spain: 711 to 1492. A long and
painful lesson that was. In the end, the Spaniards knew they had to expel Islam from the
land in order to have true peace.
One good American blog, RedState, presents a view on Europe’s fractured history
in dealing with Islam here:
"The wages
of Western disunity."
Islam is at war with you! Your choice is the same choice Muhammad gave
people: fight, or convert to Islam. The battles are coming whether you like it or not. You
cannot buy them off as Jimmy Carter would do. The Muslims are dedicated soldiers who are
willing to die and murder for their cause. Europeans had to unite to stop the Ottoman
Empire. Now we have to unite again. It’s at our doorstep.
Things out in America are better, but not great. Most of America’s
conservatives know that Islam is evil or at least they know they are in a war with
"Islamism". They can see its fruit. But the American liberals, out of a hatred
of George Bush and conservatives, have a difficult time identifying the same. Some will
speak out against "Islamism", and stop there. That’s about it.
One intelligent liberal writer, Peter Beinhart, hits the nail on the head when he
essentially states that when it comes to the war on terror (call it what you will),
American liberals are AWOL. i.e., they don’t count, and they need to get into
the game. You can read his article here.
Beinhart is dead right. A half hearted response will result in Americans’
long term pain and defeat as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) ISLAMIC TERRORISM: WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
The key to knowing how the Muslims will act in the future is to understand
their ideology and know where they stand in the material world today. Let’s hope
I’m wrong, but people who know my work, and many who initially doubted my works, now
know I’ve been correct up to this point.
I’m not a prophet. But I’ve studied Islam in some depth. Their ideology
is simple; Islam must subject the world. Muhammad said he was ordered by Allah to
fight men until they bow the knee to Muhammad and Islam. And that is exactly what he did.
Today’s Muslims endeavor to do the same in a variety of ways, some peaceful, some
violent. They will obey Muhammad and follow through on making war on Islam’s
opponents.
How do they stand materially? They have money coming in from governments,
individuals, and phony charities in the West. They have the Muslim community’s
worldwide support to one degree or another, with few exceptions. They have brave soldiers.
Take a look at their operations over the last 20 years: they’ve been very successful.
They will build upon their successes, (America, Spain, London, Holland, France, Israel,
Denmark, etc.) The tide of battle will ebb and flow, but over the course of the last 20
years they have made substantial gains.
A while ago I wrote about the murder of Van Gogh. In that
article I made a few predictions. I re-read the article and was amazed at how quickly
things have come to pass.
Muslims in the West have tasted Western blood, and it tasted good, they
want more. If that sounds simplistic or crude, it’s because that is the easiest way
to describe their growing confidence. Each successful killing or silencing emboldens them,
and gives them confidence and desire to push their actions further.
Understand this: when a person becomes a Muslim, they are choosing to
support Islam through violence. It’s part of the package. Initially they may not
realize it, but as they continue to grow in the knowledge of Islam, and deepen their
commitment to obey Muhammad, they will move into supporting violence to further
Islam’s domination. Tabari records in volume 6 of his history that Muslims who
pledged themselves to Muhammad understood that they were declaring war on the whole world,
and they were fine with that.
We have already seen a handful of native born Americans and Europeans involved
with terrorism, and that number will grow. Tomorrow’s terrorists will be
home grown Americans and Western Europeans.
And don’t think for a second that Islam is a plague that only threatens
the West. It has also bitten Russia, threatens China, and bleeds Africa as it
has always done. Islam is truly a poison in humanity’s soul.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONCLUSION
Muhammad was indeed a terrorist, and he is the archetype for today’s
terrorists. They do what he did, they obey what he taught them to do. Muhammad was
mentally scarred following his experience in the cave which led to his subsequent
depressions and suicide attempts. This hardened his mind and soul. Thereafter it was easy
for him to order the killing of those that rejected his claims.
The real question that needs to be asked is to the Muslims: "Why do
you follow such a violent and evil man?"
The other question that needs to be asked to so many naive Westerners is,
"Why do you turn a blind eye to the threat at your doorstep?"
The good news is that more and more people are realizing and understanding
how violent and evil Islam is. Even Muslims are admitting that there exists an integral
core of aggressive violence in Islam’s teachings. The bad news is that the call to
jihad, the shedding of blood, is both a spiritual and physical addiction in Islam. The
Satanic spirit that drove Muhammad and now drives the Muslims is not going to let up.
It’s not over, not by a long shot. It is really just the beginning.
(You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of
your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because
there is no truth in him. John 8:44)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FINAL
Jesus said that wars and rumors of wars would always be with mankind, and
so they are. I can tell you, with no doubt, that there are going to be some horrible
events in the near future, and that Islam will be involved. But isn’t that what Jesus
also said?
Jesus also said that no man knows the hour of His return. We don’t
know when or how we will die. I often seek to extend an invitation to readers to think
about Jesus. There are many trials in the world. Regardless of what mankind faces, God has
called us to return to Him. Life is temporary, but being right with God has eternal
significance.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
This prayer is written for anyone. This includes Muslims who are seeking
the truth and who want to know God in a personal way.
"Lord Jesus, I believe in You. I believe that You are the Son of God
and the Lord. I believe that You died for my sins and were raised from the dead. I confess
that I am a sinner and I ask You to come into my heart, cleanse me from my sins, and
forgive me for my sins. I turn to follow and obey You – I put my faith in you. I now
receive You as Messiah and Lord and totally commit my life to You."
Amen.

MUHAMMAD’S APPEARANCE (taken from Sahih Hadith)
Muhammad was of a height a little above the average. He was of sturdy
build with long muscular limbs and tapering fingers. The hair of his head was long and
thick with some waves in them. His forehead was large and prominent, his eyelashes were
long and thick, his nose was sloping, his mouth was somewhat large and his teeth were well
set.
His cheeks were spare and he had a pleasant smile. His eyes were large and
black with a touch of brown. His beard was thick and at the time of his death, (age 63),
he had seventeen gray hairs in it. He had a thin line of fine hair over his neck and
chest. He was fair of complexion and handsome.
