Know thy enemy – we must understand the motivation of the Islamic terrorists – Islam means submission – unlike normal religions, Islam is subdivided into two parts, the first, you can call its five pillars (Mohamed is The Prophet – in their belief, he came to rectify all the “mistakes” of the previous ones – you have to pray five times daily – you have to give 2.5% to charity – you should go, once in a lifetime to Mecca – Ramadan) that’s the good part, but the bad part is, coupled with its obligation of self-jihad (self refinement) is global jihad –

This is a map of Arabs conquest one hundred years after Mohamed, who according to the Rambam was delusional, began preaching, violent jihad – they tortured, raped, enslaved and viciously, savagely, brutally, with no regard for liberty or life, imposed their will.

What is important to recall, is that unlike all other religions that obviously would like to see their expansion (to the exclusion of Judaism that doesn’t proselytize and as I believe Buddhism) Islam has as its highest calling, the obligation to jihad.

In the Islamic viewpoint – this is from the sanitized version (imagined the unsanitized) “Dar al-Harb (Arabic: دار الحرب “house of war”; also referred to as Dar al-Garb “house of the West” in later Ottoman sources; a person from “Dar al-Harb” is a “harbi” (Arabic:حربي). Dar al-Harb is a term classically referring to those countries where the Muslim law is not in force, in the matter of worship^. It is unclean by definition, and will not become clean, until annexed to the “House of Peace” (lands under Shariah law.) Its denizens are either to be forcibly converted, or, if people of the book, tolerated, as long as they pay the jizia.”

In simple words, according to Islam, they have as their highest calling the obligation, to by force – which is murder, rape, torture etc. take over all non-muslim (or Muslim but not practicing sharriah and as of-course what happens, not practicing “my version” of sharria) lands.

This is so fundamental to understand – for in Islam, it’s all about getting to heaven and the only way you are guaranteed a spot, is if you die in jihad.
