11 The Turkeyfication of Islam:
The Enormous Impact of the Ottomans

Over the rest of this decade, the divide between radical Islam and the industrial democracies will become the most destabilizing factor in world affairs.

JOSEPH DE COURCY

The governments of the world should know that Islam cannot be defeated. Islam will be victorious in all the countries of the world, and Islam and the teachings of the Koran will prevail all over the world.

AYATOLLAH RUHOLLAH KHOMEINI OF IRAN

THE VIDEO SHOWS the tortured face of American Daniel Pearl, a news reporter with the Wall Street Journal. He was captured after being lured to meet with a London-educated Muslim he had met before. The American is forced to confess on camera, My father is a Jew, my mother is a Jew, and I am a Jew. Then suddenly a hand with a knife appears on the video screen and slashes his throat. Then his head is sawed off with a dull knife and held aloft by a hand in front of the camera. The video cuts to hooded murderers who repeatedly stab the lifeless corpse. The final scene cuts to Pearls severed head lying on a pile of newspapers as a message scrolls across the screen: If our demands are not met, there will be more like this.

The Muslim terrorist who actually cut off Pearls head was later captured and, under interrogation, confessed that he committed this horrible murder. His name is Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, and he is the principal planner of al Qaedas attacks on 9/11. This linkage demonstrates that hatred toward Jews is a shared hatred against Americans.

Islamic terrorists chose Daniel Pearl to slaughter for one reason he was a Jew. The gory details of his videotaped murder are further evidence of the maniacal hatred that animates the movement to which the terrorists belongIslamic Fundamentalism. But this particular butchery is but one of thousands of brutalities committed by Muslim zealots throughout historyand all for the same cause: They hate Jews with a visceral, bone-deep hatred that is almost impossible for the Western civilization to comprehend. In fact, this hatred goes back to the dawn of recorded history.

On September 11, 2001, Americans were suddenly thrust into the middle of this hatred, which is part of an ancient family feud. In actuality, we were involved in this conflict long before we realized its magnitude and the great danger it poses to our nation. But since September 11, Americans have been frantically groping to understand what is at stake. Many questions continue to be asked following the initial shock of those horrible first days and their aftermath.

In light of recent events, not just Americans but also the whole of Western Judeo-Christian-based civilization is now asking questions such as:

Why do Muslims hate Jews?

Did this hatred begin, as Muslims today claim, with the Zionist movement and the creation of the state of Israel, or is there evidence of this animus in history past?

Why do Muslim fundamentalists hate the United States and call it the great Satan?

Why do Muslim terrorists willingly sacrifice their lives to kill Americans?

Do Muslims hate America only because of our support of Israel, or is there evidence that supports other possible motivations?

Will Islamic terrorists gain access to weapons of mass destruction? If so, will they use them on the United States?

Could terrorist organizations imperil the very survival of the United States?

This book intends to answer questions such as these on the basis of relevant Biblical and Islamic texts, as well as by examining the history of Jewish-Muslim relations. But in addition to this first set of queries, there are even more foundational questions about Islam itself that this book will seek to answer, such as:

Are there calls for violence and conquest in the Koran and in the equally authoritative traditions recorded in the Hadith?

What does the Koran teach about Judaism and Christianity?

Are Islamic fundamentalists an aberration of the Muslim religion, or are theyas they claimthe true followers of Mohammad?

Does the example of Mohammads life teach us the true meaning of the Koran?

What can we learn from the history of Muslim conquests? Were these conquests due to misinterpretations of the Koran or were they actually commanded by it?

Can we get insights into Mohammad from his forefathers Ishmael and Kedar?

The Muslim religion is tightly interwoven with the culture of the seventh-century Arabian Peninsula. Are there aspects of that distant culture that shed light on current Muslim beliefs and behavior?

More than at any time since the Crusades, Islam poses a serious threat to the whole of Western Judeo-Christian civilization. Nations of the European Union (EU) and NATO are now being seriously threatened from within by a rapidly expanding and demanding Muslim population that is bent upon forcing Islamic Sharia law upon their host nations. Similarly, the United States and Israel now face in Islam the greatest threat to their survival.

As the chapter title declares, Were at War. I warned repeatedly in 1991 that, with the fall of the Soviet Union, the greatest danger facing the world was no longer communism, but the revival of Islamic Fundamentalism. But I must confess that I wasnt fully aware of just how great a threat this would pose to the Western world.
