Historical events for consideration:
In 622 A.D. Mohammed traveled to Medina and tried to force the Jews to convert. When they refused, two Jewish tribes were expelled.
In 627, Muhammad's followers killed between 600 and 900 of the men, and divided the surviving Jewish women and children amongst themselves (a Muslim man can take a non-Muslim as a wife but non-Muslims are not allowed to touch a Muslim woman). Non-Muslims were excluded from public office and armed service, were forbidden to bear arms, not allowed to ride horses or camels, could not build synagogues or churches taller than mosques, or construct houses higher than those of Muslims or to drink wine in public. Non-Muslims were not allowed to pray or mourn in loud voices, as that might offend the Muslims, had to show public deference toward Muslims, always yielding them the center of the road, were not allowed to give evidence in court against a Muslim, nor were the non-Muslims oath acceptable in an Islamic court. For defense non-Muslins would have to purchase Muslim witnesses at great expense leaving little legal recourse when harmed by a Muslim. Jews were forced to wear distinctive clothing with huge collars, which made them the subject of ridicule.
In the ninth century, Baghdad's Caliph al-Mutawakkil designated a yellow badge for Jews, setting a precedent that would be followed centuries later in Nazi Germany.
Has anything changed? History would seem to say, “no”. After NATO gave Albanians in Kosovo the province, Moslems cleansed 80 percent of the Serb population and destroyed over 100 Orthodox churches. In Indonesia, the Laskar Jihad (which includes veterans of Bosnia and Afghanistan) attacked Christian villages in September 2000. In two provinces, over 5,000 died and over 250,000 were driven from their homes since January 1999. According to a news source Muslims in England are trained in paramilitary camps and sent to Lebanon and Jordan to join the holy war against Israel. As one young recruit is reported to have explained: “Anything OTHER than Muslim dictatorship signifies oppression”.
Today in Southern France, there are more mosques than churches. The question then becomes, “How long before the Muslims in Western countries begin to view the non-Muslims as their oppressors and start their Jihad (Holy War) for "liberation" of those countries? Was September 11th the beginning of this “Jihad”? It would seem so.
Today in Israel Muslim clerics claim that there is no evidence of a Jewish connection to Jerusalem. These claims contradict the heritage of the “City of David” and the Biblical Jewish King. Such attacks against Biblical truths are the beginnings of the spiritual negation of not only Jewish heritage but also Christian beliefs to further justify Jihad against the Infidels, you and I. If you have watched, as we have, personally the dancing ceremonies of Jordan and other “Arab” nations you would see the sword and knife carrying dancers (men), enacting aggression against their enemies the infidels! This is the core of Islamic belief! The only way this can now be over, in the natural, is by a worldwide one-world Government! Major end-time prophecies are beginning. Soon, either before or just after Isaiah chapter 17, the Ashes of the Red heifer will be found! Daniel’s 70th week is not very many years away!
