why this "is" a war on terrorism.... or darker sid

[Rev9Volts]

The information in this article is very important to understanding what the

war in Iraq an, indeed, the war on terrorism is all about.



THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS AND THE GREAT CALIPHATE by Larry Abraham, January 29, 2004



I urge all of my readers to make copies of this report and send them to your

friends and relatives. The information is too critical to be over looked in

the madness of this election year.



Watching and listening to the Democrat Party candidates is tantamount to

enduring the Chinese water torture. The blah, blah, blah goes on and on and

nothing of value comes out except the pain of listening to the same nothingness over

and over again. I won't take the time or space to repeat what you have heard

so many mind numbing times but what you have not heard is crucial.



President Bush and his administration spokesmen are not telling the American

people what they really need to know about this "war." If they don't do that

between now and November it may cost them the election.



The war against terror did not begin on September 11, 2001, nor will it end

with the peaceful transition to civilian authority in Iraq, whenever that may

be. In fact, Iraq is but a footnote in the bigger context of this encounter,

but an important one none the less.



This war is what the Jihadists themselves are calling the "Third Great

Jihad." They are operating within the framework of a time line which reaches back to

the very creation of Islam in the seventh century and are presently

attempting to recreate the dynamics which gave rise to the religion in the first two

hundred years of its existence.



No religion in history grew as fast, in its infancy, and the reasons for the

initial growth of Islam are not hard to explain when you understand what the

world was like at the time of Muhammad's death in 632 AD. Remember that the

Western Roman Empire was in ruins and the Eastern Empire, based in

Constantinople, was trying desperately to keep the power of its early grandeur while

transitioning to Christianity as a de facto state religion. The costs to the average

person were large as he was being required to meet the constantly rising taxes

levied by the state along with the tithes coerced by the Church.



What Islam offered was the "carrot or the sword". If you became a convert,

your taxes were immediately eliminated, as was your tithe. If you didn't, you

faced death. The choice was not hard for most to make, unless you were a very

devoted martyr in the making. At the beginning, even the theology was not too

hard for most to swallow, considering that both Jewry and Christianity were

given their due by the Prophet. There is but one God-Allah, and Muhammad is His

Prophet, as was Jesus, and the pre-Christian Jewish prophets of the Torah (Old

Testament). Both were called "children of the book"--the book being the Koran,

which replaced both the Old and New Testaments for former Christians and Jews.



With this practical approach to spreading the "word" Islam grew like

wild-fire, reaching out from the Saudi Arabian Peninsula in all directions. This early

growth is what the Muslims call the "First" great Jihad and it met with

little resistance until Charles Martel of France, the father of Charlemagne,

stopped them in the battle of Tours in France, after they had firmly established

Islam on the Iberian Peninsula. This first onslaught against the West continued

in various forms and at various times until Islam was finally driven out of

Spain in 1492 at the battle of Granada.



The "Second great jihad" came with the Ottoman Turks. This empire succeeded

in bringing about the downfall of Constantinople as a Christian stronghold and

an end to Roman hegemony in all of its forms. The Ottoman Empire was Islam's

most successful expansion of territory even though the religion itself had

fractured into warring sects and bitter rivalries with each claiming the ultimate

truths in "the ways of the Prophet". By

1683 the Ottomans had suffered a series of defeats on both land and sea and

the final, unsuccessful attempt to capture Vienna set the stage for the

collapse of any further territorial ambitions and Islam shrunk into various

sheikhdoms, emir dominated principalities, and roving tribes of nomads. However, by

this time a growing anti-western sentiment, blaming its internal failures on

anyone but themselves, was taking hold and setting the stage for a new revival

known as Wahhabism, a sect which came into full bloom under the House of Saud on

the Arabian Peninsula shortly before the onset of WWI. It is this Wahhabi

version of Islam which has infected the religion itself, now finding adherents in

almost all branches and sects, especially the Shiites.



Wahhabiism calls for the complete and total rejection or destruction of

anything and everything which is not based in the original teachings of The Prophet

and finds its most glaring practice in the policies of the Afghani Taliban or

the Shiite practices of the late Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran. Its Ali Pasha

(Field Marshall) is now known as Osama bin Laden, the leader of the "Third

Jihad", who is Wahhabi as were his 9/11 attack teams, 18 of which were also Saudi.



The strategy for this "holy war" did not begin with the planning of the

destruction of the World Trade Center. It began with the toppling of the Shah of

Iran back in the late 1970's. With his plans and programs to "westernize" his

country, along with his close ties to the U.S. and subdued acceptance of the

State of Israel, the Shah was the soft target. Remember "America Held Hostage"?



Thanks, in large part to the hypocritical and disastrous policies of the

Jimmy Carter State Department, the revolution was set into motion, the Shah was

deposed, his armed forces scattered or murdered and stage one was complete. The

Third Jihad now had a base of operations and the oil wealth to support its

grand design or what they call the "Great Caliphate".



What this design calls for is the replacement of all secular leadership in

any country with Muslim majorities. This would include, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan,

Indonesia, all the Emirates, Sudan, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Yemen,

Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Malaysia, Indonesia and finally what they call the

"occupied territory" Israel.



As a part of this strategy, forces of the jihad will infiltrate governments

and the military as a prelude to taking control, once the secular leadership is

ousted or assassinated. Such was the case in Lebanon leading to the Syrian

occupation and in Egypt with the murder of Anwar Sadat, along with the multiple

attempts on the lives of Hussein in Jordan, Mubarak of Egypt and Musharraf in

Pakistan. Pakistan is a particular prize because of its nuclear weapons.

(Please note al Qaeda call



for the Islamic-militant overthrow of Musharraf in Pakistan on March 25, just

yesterday.)



The long-range strategy of the Third Jihad counts on three strategic goals.

First, the U.S. withdrawing from the region just as it did in Southeast Asia,

following Vietnam. Second, taking control of the oil wealth in the Muslim

countries, which would be upwards to 75% of known reserves; third, using nuclear

weapons or other WMDs to annihilate Israel. A further outcome of successfully

achieving these objectives would be to place the United Nations as the sole

arbiter in East/West negotiations and paralyze western resistance, leading to

total withdrawal from all Islamic dominated countries



Evidence of the Bush Administration awareness of this plan is found in the

events immediately following the 9/11 attack. The administration's first move

was to shore up Pakistan and Egypt, believing that these two would be the next

targets for al Qaeda, while Americans focused on the disaster in New York. The

administration also knew that the most important objective was to send a loud

and clear message that the U.S. was in the region to stay, not only to shore

up our allies but to send a message to the Jihadists.



The attack on Afghanistan was necessary to break-up a secure al Qaeda base of

operations and put their leadership on the run or in prison.



The war in Iraq also met a very strategic necessity in that no one knew how

much collaboration existed between Saddam Hussein and the master planners of

the Third Jihad or Hussein's willingness to hand off WMDs to terrorist groups

including the PLO in Israel. What was known were serious indications of on-going

collaboration as Saddam funneled money to families of suicide bombers

attacking the Israelis and others in Kuwait.



What the U.S. needed to establish was a significant base of operations smack

dab in the middle of the Islamic world, in a location which effectively cut it

in half. Iraq was the ideal target for this and a host of other strategic

reasons.



Leadership of various anti-American groups both here and abroad understood

the vital nature of the Bush initiative and thus launched their demonstrations,

world-wide, to "Stop The War". Failing this, they also laid plans to build a

political campaign inside the country, with the War in Iraq as a plebiscite,

using a little known politician as the thrust point--Howard Dean. This helps to

explain how quickly the Radical Left moved into the Dean campaign with both

people and money, creating what the clueless media called the "Dean Phenomenon".



By building on the left-wing base in the Democrat party and the "Hate Bush"

crowd, the campaign has already resulted in a consensus among the aspirants,

minus Joe Lieberman, to withdraw the U.S. from Iraq and turn the operation over

to the U.N. And, if past is prologue, i.e., Vietnam, once the U.S. leaves it

will not go back under any circumstances, possibly even the destruction of

Israel.



Should George W. Bush be defeated in November we could expect to see the

dominoes start to fall in the secular Islamic countries and The Clash of

Civilizations, predicted several years ago by Samuel Huntington, would then become a

life changing event in all of our lives.



What surprised the Jihadists following the 9/11 attack was how American

sentiment mobilized around the president and a profound sense of patriotism spread

across the country. They were not expecting this reaction, based on what had

happened in the past, nor were they expecting the determined resolve of the

President himself. I also believe this is one of the reasons we have not had any

further attacks within our borders. They are content to wait, just as one of

their tactical mentors; V.I. Lenin admonished..."two steps forward, one step

back".



A couple additional events serve as valuable footnotes to the current

circumstances we face: the destruction of the human assets factor of the CIA during

the Carter presidency, presided over by the late Senator Frank Church. This

fact has plagued our intelligence agencies right up to this very day with

consequences which are now obvious. And, Jimmy Carter himself, the one man who must

bear the bulk of the responsibility for setting the stage of the Third Jihad.

Americans should find little comfort in how the Democrat contenders constantly

seek the "advice and counsel" of this despicable little hypocrite.



Lastly, we should not expect to see any meaningful cooperation from Western

Europe, especially the French. Since failing to protect their own interests in

Algeria (by turning the country over to the first of the Arab terrorists,

Ammad Ben Bella), the country itself is now occupied by Islamic immigrants

totaling twenty percent of the population.



We are in the battle of our lives, a battle which will go on for many years

possibly even generations. If we fail to understand what we are facing or

falter in the challenge of "knowing our enemy" the results will be catastrophic.

Imagine a world where al Qaeda regimes control 75% of the world's oil, have at

their disposal nuclear weapons, legions of willing suicide soldiers, and our

national survival is dependent on the good graces of Kofi Annan and the United

Nations.



There is one final footnote which may be the scariest of all. Either none of

the Democrats currently leading the drive to their party's nomination are

aware of the facts of the Great Caliphate and Third Jihad or they do know and they

don't care so long as their power lust is satisfied. But, I can guarantee you

one thing for sure: some of their most ardent supporters are aware of this

and will do anything they can to bring it about.



***************************End of Report***************************************

This footnote was not signed to indicate who wrote it.



Note....this was written before John Kerry had the nomination sewed up...but

recent events clearly demonstrate that Kerry is going to fulfill Abraham's

prediction of the Democrats calling for the UN and the French/Germans/Spain

coalition to force the US out of Iraq. Also understand that the current

9/11 hearings are a political show. and Clarke's book was timed for these

hearings and the campaign. And this is why Condoleezza Rice is seeking a

private meeting with this commission to tell it like it is. The national security

issues involved around 9/11 cannot be an open book to the public, and I

believe we have to understand that.



This is scary stuff. President Bush and the Republicans are obviously

extremely cautious in bringing this issue to the campaign because the left-leaning

media and the Kerry Democratic left would call this racist against Islam and a

distraction for the alleged lies of WMD and our reasons for going into Iraq.

Bush correctly referred to the axis of evil (Iran, Libya, Iraq and North

Korea) as a pointed strategy to blunt the WMD-terrorist movement and he has

been very successful in thwarting al Qaeda, despite what everyone on the left

says. We are far better off without the threat from Iraq and Libya all within

the last 12 months. We are threatened in Pakistan and if Musharraf is

assassinated (it's been tried several times in the past year), we can see how the

militants will gain control of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, which have already

spread to Iran (by a militant Islamic scientist) and if Musharraf is taken out

we have both Iran and Pakistan as militant Islamic power bases armed with

nuclear weapons. And let's not overlook Abraham's issue about the potential for

militant Islamic states who would control 75% of the world's oil.



This probably why Dick Cheney, Rice, Powell, and Wolfowitz are so committed

to the belief that we are in this struggle for the free world as we have known

it and focused on defeating the militant Islamic-al Maida's global strategy.

They skirt the core issues raised by Abraham in this article because of the

political-correctness implications, but after reading this, you understand what

is at stake here. Kerry and the liberal Democrats want control of Washington at

any price. Abraham clearly spells out what price that is: Victory for al

Qaeda and the Islamic militancy.

[DreamTone7]

I don't know about all the anti-democrat/pro-republican baloney, but much of what this article says about history is true. I remember reading much of it in my history classes...especially the part about being given the choice between becoming a Muslim and death.

[Rev9Volts]

yes hk we do love bipartisanship don't we...



with a last name of abraham we "know" he is jewish and gives it that slant. still i think there is a lot of truth in it.





france is now 20% muslim between that and the money they made selling iraq stuff i think is why they were against the war...



i can not remember off hand who it was but some arab cleric said we will conquer europe in 100 years through immagration and having babies doing what we could not do in 1000 years...





yes and there were inquisitions 700 years ago by the "catholic" church in italy and throughout europe as it spread where if the locals would not convert to christianity

they were killed also.... back to organised religion... takes power and money from masses and controls them...

Yep, seen it in the church, and hugely, Hindu and Muslim conflicts in India. Mind you, its not the religion thats doing it so much as the politicians manipulating the minds of the masses, who are ofcourse under the spell of their religion and religious big mouth leaders.

[Rev9Volts]

yup. i know a catholic woman who until i showed her in the bible where jesus had siblings previously got into arguments with my wife saying mary lived and died a virgin, jesus was only son.



she is a lifelong catholic about 50 years old and never read the bible once. ignorance gives power to politicians and religious leaders to enslave the masses....

Galmin!



I read a couple of paragraphs and thought.. "well this guy has done his research (not) hasn't he?"

[Galmin]

It makes my heart smile to see attempts to pinpoint the start of a concept to 1979 when it in fact has been around the last 1400 years..

[Rev9Volts]
