1. Islam: the religion of the sword

2. Islam means “submission”
Islam means “submission”. Its followers say they are peaceful people (and about 60% of them are).
Their book, the Qur’an, says Muslims only have to be peaceful with each other.
They have the right to be ruthless with non-Muslims
Another lie: “Allah” is not the God who is worshiped by Christians. Allah was the moon god of an ancient cult
24% of people in the world identify as Muslims (about 1.9 billion people)

3. Muhammad was the last and greatest prophet
Jesus was a prophet, nothing more
The Jews and Christians have a twisted view of God (but are called People of the Book)
The Qur’an has not changed from the original that was given to Muhammad
Muslims need to spread their faith, through violence if necessary

4. Jesus is the Son of God
Eternal life comes through faith in Jesus
The Bible is the word of God
Anyone who rejects the Son also rejects the Father (1 John 2:22-24)

5. Born in April 570 AD
Married a woman 15 years older than him
Was later married to multiple women, including a 6-year old girl
Fought in many bloody battles trying to win people to Islam
After his death, his followers divided into two categories: Sunni and Shia

6. The Qur’an Given verbally to Muhammad by an angel
Written down by scribes (Muhammad could not write)
Since Arabic was still a new language, the writings did not capture the full meaning
Different translations developed
80 different versions by 1924
First printed Qur’an in 1924 in Cairo, which is used by 97% of Muslims today
Other versions have been destroyed

7. The Five Pillars of Islam
Declaration of Faith
Islamic prayer – specific prayers 5 times a day
Giving to the poor
Ramadan fasting – for an entire month (during the day)
Pilgrimage to Mecca – once in a lifetime, by those who can afford it

8. Words You Should Know
Sharia: the system of Islamic law that covers all aspects of personal life and society
Jihad: the struggle(war) against the enemies of Islam, or against sin
Taqiyya: a doctrine that allows Muslims to lie for certain reasons (to protect their lives, in war, etc)
Wahhabism – a violent sect of Islam, started in the 1700s but revived recently, especially in the last 20 years

9. Mohammed got his revelations from an angel who called himself “Gabriel”
What the Bible says about revelations from angels: Gal 1:8
Also, see 2 Cor 11:14

10. Do angels appear to Christians?
Peter in prison
Disciples after Jesus ascended
Cornelius
John on Patmos

11. God
Your own mind
Devil/Demons

12. Walk close with God all the time so you know His voice.
If the angel, or dream, or vision goes against the Bible, it’s wrong.
Angels never ask to be worshipped (Rev 22:8-9)

13. Islam is the fastest-growing religion on the planet
They train their people to be ruthless to unbelievers from a young age

14. Muslim Strategy for Domination
Step 1: Pretend to be a peaceful, oppressed minority (example: USA)
Step 2: Create Muslim-only communities and start violent attacks (example: Sweden)
Step 3: Start to affect politics, while still committing attacks (example: Great Britain)
Step 4: Begin to use state power to oppress non-Muslims (example: Malaysia)
Step 5: Full Islamization: Sharia becomes law of the land (example: Pakistan)

15. Remember that Jesus said we will be killed in the end times for being Christians.
Hard to believe if you live in America right now… But Jesus has never been wrong before

16. Remember to fight the real enemy (Eph 6:12)
God can equip you to be a spiritual soldier.
He can give you supernatural help but only if you give your life to Him
When the time comes, will you be ready?

17. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Eph 6:13
