Islam Religion or Political System?
Be informed. It is in your best interests.
(Note from Rowland: this was forwarded to me in January 2007, and it’s being posted here for your information. If any of the facts listed below require amending, feel free to email me, with references/sources for a contra view).
The following is written in the public interest by concerned people who hold traditional Australian values. We are not members of any political party, nor are we promoting any particular political party. We are telling it as it is. This is not a hate session against all Muslims, but rather about a system, an ideology. Nor is it a conspiracy theory unsupported by fact. For their protection some sources are kept confidential. It is important for all Australians to know the beliefs and the aims of this ideology which is growing in influence in every level of government. Ignorance of the beliefs and aims of Islam is a major factor in its growth. To be informed about these beliefs and aims is the best defence against them, for they are diametrically opposed to our peaceful way of life and the democratic freedoms upon which our nation has been built and has prospered. Unfortunately many Australians arent concerned about issues until they are personally affected by them. If we wait till then it will be too late.
Beliefs: Islam means a surrendering or submitting (to Allah) and is the religion started by Muhammad in 622 A.D. Islamic belief and practice are based on a) the Quran (Koran), the Muslim holy book which Muhammad claimed was given him by Allah the god of Muslims, and b) the Hadith which is The Tradition of Muhammad i.e., the stories of Muhammads deeds and sayings. The Hadith carries almost as much authority as the Quran. We will list those parts of Islamic belief that Muslims least want the West to know. The points we raise are not the views of a small or extreme sect of Islam, but are supported by the highest authorities of the various schools of Islamic thought. In a Western cultural context some of these points may be relaxed, but when Muslims become a majority or have the political power to change laws these will become real issues to be enforced as they are in Muslim countries.
The Aims of Islam: In the next fifty years we will capture the Western world for Islam. We have the men to do it, we have the money to do it and above all we are already doing it. So said a Muslim religious leader at the opening of yet another Islamic centre this time in Stokholm, Sweden. Thus begins Dr Stuart Robinsons book Mosques & Miracles. Thus on their own admission Muslims have world rule as their goal. Muslim leaders have been making similar statements for years. This is a world-wide movement which regularly has its own Islamic nations conferences. Its aims and strategies are well planned, long-term and financed by an almost endless supply of Arab oil money. Islam sees itself as a theocracy, not a democracy. It does not separate religion and politics. It is a religion, but much more than a religion, for it has a political agenda (see Appendix 1) that goes far outside the realm of religion. It is as much a political system as was Nazism and Communism, and more repressive of those who dont accept its rule. It regulates the Muslims social and domestic life, his legal system and politics his total life. To understand this political agenda it is necessary to know a basic belief of Islam. Islamic scholars of all schools of thought are generally agreed that the teachings of the Quran and Hadith support the view that a state of war exists between those countries under Allahs Islamic rule and all others that are regarded as under the rule of the Devil. It is thus offensive for Muslims to live under western styled democratic governments. So while Muslims of different sects (Sunni, Shiite etc.) may fight and kill one-another (as now in Iraq), they are united in their aim to take over all countries not under Islamic rule. This state of war already exists and needs no declaration of hostilities. Jihad and terrorism are expressions of this war (see Appendix 2).
Methods to promote Islam. a) Jihad: All means are valid, both violent and peaceful, so long as they promote Islam. In the Quran Muhammad said Make war on them [non-Muslims] until idolatry shall cease and Allahs religion shall reign supreme (Q. 8:38). This is typical of numerous Quranic statements aimed at all non-Muslims. It is a mistake to regard terrorists as extremists, for that infers they are going beyond what is justified. They are simply going by the book. Fortunately most choose more peaceful methods. Terrorism has diverted the Wests attention from more dangerous threats migration and high biological increase.
b) Migration of Muslims into non-Muslim countries under the guise of refugees is the main peaceful means of colonising the West for Islam. It has been truthfully said that moderate Islamists are the Trojan Horse of fundamentalist Islamists. Apart from about 120,000 migrants, 12,000 refugees come to Australia every year by UN instigation. Most of these are Muslims. This is difficult to understand when Christians and other non-Muslims are the persecuted people in Muslim countries. We should be accepting genuine refugees, these persecuted minorities who have no hidden agenda and would be compatible with our way of life, not the persecutors who bring their divisions and hidden agendas with them.
After WW2 we accepted many genuine refugees from Europe. Most were Christians. They came with no hidden agenda, assimilated well into society, were hard working and contributed much to our nation. By contrast, Muslims separate into their own communities having no intention of assimilating into the Australian way of life. Many work the social security system to the full. Here Muslims can have one legal wife under Australian law and up to three unofficial wives under Islamic law living as single mothers. Some, depending on the number of children they have, receive more as social security payments than some people earn as a wage.
c) High birth-rate: Once in a country this is the next major factor in Islams world domination strategy. Muslim women usually have as many children as physically possible. A Muslim Mullah recently boasted that in France Muslims are 10% of the population, but every second baby is born a Muslim!
d) Secrecy of its motives has made Islam great gains. This paper helps break this veil of secrecy. Civil Libertarians and other pressure groups set up the basis for a disguised Islamic takeover when they convinced politicians to make laws ruling out making any decisions on the basis of religion. In public perception, this included Islam. Had Australians been asked to vote on becoming an Islamic country and been informed only of Islams position on women and its legal system, let alone its total regulation of life, it would have been well defeated.
e) Deception: The Islamic practice of Taqiyya allows Muslims to deceive and lie when it can advance Islam. As one example, the Islamic propaganda booklet titled Appreciating Islam, published in January 2003 has this endorsement on the back cover: This project is supported be the Commonwealth Governments Living in Harmony initiative administered by the Department of Immigration and Indigenous Affairs. This booklet written and published by the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC) is a complete whitewash of Islam. Contact us if you want a copy of our critique of this deceptive and dangerous document.
f) Infiltration of government departments is at all levels. As just one example, someone who worked there reports that years back, of three senior positions in the Attorney Generals Department of a state government, two were held by Muslims. We have reason to believe that anti-Islamic correspondence has been intercepted and prevented from reaching government ministers to whom it was sent.
Islamic Sharia law: This is regarded as above the law of any non-Muslim country in which Muslims live, and helps explain their behaviour. It is based on the Quran and Hadith and includes the position of women, the amputation of a hand for theft (unhelpful in earning an honest living), and execution for adultery (a permanent cure). The world-wide imposition of Sharia law is one of Islams political aims. (See also Appendix 1).
The position of women in Islam: Women in Islam 1) are inferior to men, being deficient in intelligence, religion and gratitude. 2) are deficient as witnesses, the value of their testimony being half that of men. 3) are toys. 4) should be covered by the Hijab to protect the chastity of men who might see her. 5) are like a rib crooked. 6) The husbands sexual desires must be met immediately, even if she is cooking his food. 7) Obedience to the husband is their key to paradise. 
The husbands rights are divine. 9) He may beat and sexually desert his wife. 10) Men may have up to four wives. Temporary wives are acceptable. 11) A mans privileges are foremost in the custody of children. (from Women in Islam, a book based on the Quran and Hadith. All women should read this especially if they are planning to marry a Muslim).
Islams Jihad (the continuous war). Here are some examples quoted from the English translation of the Quran, published by Penguin Classics N.J.Dawood-1997. See Appendix 2 for more Jihad references.
1) I [Allah] shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels [Non Muslims]. Strike off their heads; strike off the very tips of their fingers. That is because they defied Allah and His apostle. (8:12).
2) Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and love a thing although it is bad for you. Allah knows, but you know not. (2:216).
3) The true believers [Muslims] fight for the cause of Allah, but the infidels fight for the devil. Fight then against the friends of Satan. (4:76).
4) Believers [Muslims] make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that Allah is with the righteous. (9:123).
5) Prophet [Muhammad], make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate. (9:73).
These verses show the Islamic justification for Jihad, and help explain Muslims hatred for all non-Muslims, particularly for the so-called Christian Western nations, of which Australia is one. They show why there can be no appeasement of Islam. Freedom of religion in Australia does not include freedom to subvert our political system and bring us under the control of an oppressive foreign system which demands every right and privilege here which it denies to non-Muslims in Muslim dominated countries. Here are some examples of the outworking of the above Quranic verses of hate. These are quoted from Missionary Society news bulletins in 2005. Their identity is withheld for security reasons.
Since the year 2000, over 8000 Christians have been killed in Indonesia. Radical Muslims have burnt more than 500 churches during the last 4 yearsOver the last year and a half it has accelerated to an average of 11 churches every month. In some towns, every church, Christian school and orphanage has been burned down in one day. These buildings are not flimsy grass huts but established structures that seat hundreds. On the island of Java, crowds of radical Muslims surround churches and use machetes to hack anyone to death who tries to escape. A pastor and his family were burned to death inside the church. On Sulawesi, a squad of radical Muslim Laskar Jihad warriors attacked a series of Christian villages with machetes, guns, and clubs even a bulldozer. The attackers burned homes and villages, killing everyone who could not flee.
From Nigeria a mission society reports: Africa is the scene of some of the worst anti-Christian persecution in the world. More than 10,000 people have died in the last few years as Muslim radicals attempt to impose traditional Islamic law (Sharia) in more Nigerian states. Under sharia, worshipping Christ or telling others the Good News is punishable by deathIn just one month, 10 Christian churches have been burned to the ground in one town alone. Recent attacks on Christians have been so violent that witnesses have reported seeing bodies of dead Christians carried away be the truckload! In another town, 3 believers were killed and over 3,000 left homeless, when Muslim militias destroyed their houses. In another village, a pastor and 48 members of his congregation were killed by Islamic militants just months ago.
Islam a religion of peace! Muslims often claim that their religion is one of peace, and even quote parts of the Quran in support. How do they reconcile this with the above statements in the Quran that show Islam in a very ruthless and aggressive light? The conflict is easily explained. Those parts of the Quran that promote peace and tolerance were written early in Muhammads career when he was struggling to win support for his new religion in Mecca (610-622 AD). Later, after his move to Medina when his forces were winning militarily his attitude changed to that of a ruthless conqueror, and the above verses were written then (622-632 AD) and reflect this change of attitude. Muslim theologians solve the conflict to their satisfaction with the law of abrogation which states that where there is a conflict the later statements abrogate or cancel the earlier ones. Thus the peace statements are cancelled and the aggressive statements stand. It is deceptive for Muslims to quote what they believe are cancelled texts, but it is politically expedient to do so until they are in a position of power. More taqiyya! Once Islam is in control the tolerant verses will have served their purpose and will no longer be quoted. Those moderate Muslims who persist in promoting Islam as a tolerant and peaceful religion will be either eliminated or will be compelled to revise their position, because when the law of abrogation is taken into account, the only position that will be able to be sustained from the Quran will be that which promotes militant Jihad against all non-Muslims.
Conversions: Muslim men are encouraged to marry non-Muslim girls, who are usually told that they worship the same god as the Christians. Usually the girls become Muslims as do their children. One respected aboriginal leader has reported that Muslim men were marrying aboriginal girls to have Muslim children who would be able to make land claims as Muslim Aboriginals. If a Muslim converts to another religion this is regarded as a sin worthy of death. If someone is invited to accept Islam and they refuse, they come under the same death penalty as that of the apostate from Islam.
Anti-vilification laws: Many Australians are by now aware of the court case brought by Muslims against two Christian pastors in Melbourne under Victorias extreme version of Anti-vilification law. Their offence was that they held a seminar in which they revealed some of the above beliefs and practices of Islam. One paper reported – The law exempts events held for a genuine religious purpose, but the Victorian Equal Opportunity Commission declined to dismiss the complaint on that basisPart of the problem is that vilification is defined in terms of the complainants feelings rather than objective factHe [the Judge] pointed out that Pastor Scot was not inciting hatred, but urging Christians to reach out to Muslims in friendship and invite them into their homes. But although Judge Higgins urged mediation (declined by the Islamic Council of Victoria), he did not stop the hearing. The pastors cannot recover their costs, even if the complaint is ultimately dismissed. The case shows the flawed basis of so-called equal opportunity laws that have been adopted around Australia since the 1980s. The pastors are presumed guilty and must pay their own money to prove their innocence. The Equal Opportunity Commission acts as an agent for the complainants, helping them with legal advice and preparing their complaint (New Life, Melb. 25.3.04, p.4).
Piers Akerman reporting the same case states – Perhaps the most telling moment to date came just last Friday when Pastor Scot was asked by the Islamic Councils barrister Debbie Mortimer to stop reading passages from the Koran and just give verses because the reading vilified Muslims. He replied: If it is not for reading, it shouldnt be in the bookThe greatest crime is that the politically correct Victorian Government ever enacted the shameful legislation which permitted the case to begin at all (Sydney Daily Telegraph, 4.3.04).
This case raises some questions. How independent and unbiased are Equal Opportunity Commissions? Who comprises them? How can the quoting of any religions holy book vilify that religion? In this case it seems that Islam vilifies Islam, and that on the admission of the Islamic Councils own lawyer! Surely it is a prime duty of all our political leaders to preserve Australias heritage, independence and democratic freedoms, and not introduce laws that can be used to undermine them. These considerations should deter governments signing little-publicised treaties and agreements with the UN that make Australians subject to the rule of foreigners on issues about which we have had no say. Some of these treaties have seriously affected rural land-owners.
We must have laws to guard against libelous and defamatory language, but we cannot justify their use against the truthful statement of, or discussion of, the aims and beliefs of any group, party, sect or religion. It is in the public interest for all Australians to know the above facts that these laws are being used to suppress. Your sister or daughter may want to marry a Muslim. The reader can judge if it is in her best interests to remain ignorant of her position in her husbands religion. The beliefs of all religions should be open to scrutiny if they have nothing to hide, and we need open and accountable government at all levels.
Update on this case against the two Christian pastors: (Dec 14th 2006)
After an appeal to the Supreme Court against the decision of Judge Higgins, an email from Mariat Scot, Daniel Scots wife, says the result of the appeal to the Supreme Court is:
a) The appeal has been upheld;
b) All the previous orders by Judge Higgins have been annulled;
c) The case will be heard again in VCAT by a new judge;
d) ICV [Islamic Council of Victoria] has to pay half of the cost of the current Appeal;
e) The ICV barrister will challenge the decision made by the Supreme Court judges.
Further Influence in government: NSW Education Dept. publications unnecessarily push the Muslim cause. June 04 edition of Inform features a front cover picture of a Muslim girl in scarf. Another glossy magazine distributed in schools recently (Education Resource Guide) also features a front cover picture of a little girl in Muslim uniform (a Muslim religious/political statement). Since the public school system is supposed to be secular, it would be better to drop this Muslim emphasis altogether. If Jewish or Christian pupils got equal exposure and promotion we might conclude there is no Muslim bias.
Multiculturalism, contrary to the ads, kills harmony. It is divisive for it encourages ethnic groups not to assimilate into one homogeneous society but to keep their divisions and to push their own agendas, when they would otherwise be treated as all other Australians. Each religion produces its own distinctive culture. When these are thrown together, this is a recipe for conflict, especially when Islam is a party, because the Quran prohibits friendship with non-Muslims (4:144; 5:51 etc), and as we have seen, commands Muslims to kill non-Muslims. After WW2 European migrants who came from nominally Christian nations found no problem here with Assimilation. Multiculturalism was frowned upon then, but now it is a tool to promote Islam. Note how often Islam is promoted favourably in the Media, and how little genuine Christianity is given a fair promotion.
Examples of Muslim intimidation and culture here in Australia.
Did you know? -
1) In some parts of Sydney non-Muslims dare not buy a house or flat. One non-Muslim couple moved into a unit they had bought in a predominately Muslim area. Not long after the lady was lying on a couch when a bullet came through the window and into the wall just above her head. The police said that is the way Muslims tell others to get out of the area, and they (the police) would put their names on the bottom of the list of similar cases. Needless to say they soon sold their unit.
2) In some parts of Sydney when Muslims go to the Mosque en masse they have been known to ignore foot-crossings and traffic lights while one stands in the middle of the busy road and holds up the traffic while they march across!
3) In some places and times in Sydney Muslims buy petrol at greatly discounted rates, but if non-Muslims get in the queue they risk some damage to their cars.
4) A non-Muslim lady on crutches in one shopping centre in Sydney had her crutches knocked from under her so that a Muslim could get into a lift ahead of her.
5) An Australian woman married a Muslim here and returned to Indonesia with her husband. After six years and six children she returned with her husband. Her grief-stricken mother was not even allowed into the house in which they lived.
6) A lady was watching her two primary school daughters (wearing bikinis)
swimming in a pool by a beach. A Muslim family was nearby. A youth of the family approached her and told her to cover up the girls. She refused. He later returned and opening his jacket showed her a knife and told her to move off. She moved.
7) When the Premier of NSW visited the Lakemba mosque in Sydney it was reported that the Mufti greeting him with welcome to the Islamic Republic of Lakemba.
A lady accidentally bumped into a Muslim lady in a supermarket in a country town. She told the lady she was sorry, only to be told Not so sorry as you will be when we take over this country.
9) An educated Muslim man told a real estate agent When we take over this country, we will take your property, your wife and your children.
10) Muslims are now saying they will take over this country by 2020.
11) A final example: Our slanted legal system allowed Muslims to have the combined wish of the citizens of the small rural community of Annangrove (Sydney) and the local Shire Councillors overturned, resulting in the building of a mosque in Annangrove where previously no known Muslims were living. For their opposition the locals received threatening letters and a Jihad threat on the internet. Of the 700 present at the public meeting held to discuss the issue, only one Muslim family was represented, and they were from Kenthurst, an adjoining suburb! On the internet Muslims stated there were 40 Muslim families in the area who wanted a mosque built there. But the figures were fudged, for on inquiry it was found that they were not from Annangrove but from a very wide surrounding area. The building of a mosque often spearheads the gradual takeover by Islam of a new area. Our legal system should allow communities to protect themselves against the predatory designs of this evil system which under the cloak of freedom of religion brings division and strife, the devaluation of property and ultimately the exclusion from the area of the local non-Muslim population. This is an established pattern of operation and will continue until the law is changed. Residents can object to a development on many grounds, but not, it seems, when Islam is involved.
Are our politicians ignorant? Or are they afraid to speak out because they fear losing the Muslim vote? Is this the type of politician you want? – or the culture you want your children to inherit? The above is typical of a growing cancer in our society, and it needs a national outcry to say enough. Stop importing this barbaric culture into Australia under the guise of humanitarian acts for Muslims who are persecuted by other Muslims. Instead give refuge to those minorities that suffer far worse at the hands of all Muslims in Muslim countries. We need politicians who will make just laws, and a police force that will enforce the law for all without fear or favour. We believe in religious freedom for Muslims to worship in their own time and place as they wish, but when a religion becomes a threat to our democratic freedoms and our national identity, it lays itself open to be legislated against. Laws allowing this insurgency have not been here long and can be rescinded. And it is imperative that this be done soon, for these are issues not of freedom of religion but of national security. If governments and oppositions, both state and federal, were to combine against this threat to our national security, they would save our country and neither would be politically disadvantaged by the other. Those that continue on the present path of accommodating and even supporting Islam (which will not accommodate us if it gets its way) will pay at the ballot box, and the loss will be many times the Muslim vote. If both continue as they are they will either preside over the biggest disaster ever to befall this nation, or will fade into political oblivion and be replaced by others with more responsible policies. The stakes are very high when security is traded for votes.
How should we respond? Be aware of what is happening and make your concerns heard in the community and to your local, state and federal representatives. Politicians will listen and act when votes are at stake. Our combined voting power can work miracles. Get involved in politics to protect real Australian values and work for just laws. Vote for the party or people that best promote traditional Australian Christian values. Be patriotic and fight to preserve the freedom of the country our children will inherit. Forward this article to your contacts. Kiwis send it to NZ and Poms send it to the UK for the same things are happening there. The old saying applies here – All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing. Young couples, stop the abortions and be prepared to have large families. Dad, you be the breadwinner, and Mum you stay home from the start and rear as many children as you can. Lets not deceive ourselves, women are in the workforce, and a very important one, when they do that job. There is no greater and more noble role for women than doing what God has enabled them uniquely to do, and that is rearing a family in a loving home environment where mum and dad are fully committed to one-another in a married relationship. Peter Costellos saying can be improved, One for dad, one for mum, and four or more for the country. You will live on a lower level of luxury, but you will be happier, and government will support you well. Dads make lousy mums, and mums make lousy dads. Large numbers of women in the workforce outside the home is a disaster for children and the nation. Part of the reason why we as a nation are not replacing ourselves (on average Australians have 1.75 children per couple, when we need 2+ just to maintain our numbers) is because we delay having children till we own every desirable luxury and then try to start a family, only to find that we have problems. And that figure (of 1.75 per family average) includes our Muslim population! Take them out of the equation, and the figure is less. One doesnt need to be a mathematician to realise what the future holds for our nation if things continue as they are. By putting materialism before family we are committing national suicide and assisting an Islamic takeover in a generation or two. If Muslims can prosper with large families, so can you. Remember the last thing Islam wants is for you to be informed about its policies and aims, and for these to be discussed openly. If you doubt the legality of this article, this shows how successful the bluff and intimidation of Islam have been. Be prepared for racist and bigot slurs. We are not racist or religious bigots just ordinary people who love our country and want to keep it the best country in the world. Be a real Australian and dont be intimidated. Race has nothing to do with the problem of Islam. There are Muslims of all races, and there are Christians of all races. We repeat, Islam is a religio/political movement with the same agenda of world rule that Nazism and Communism both had.
A revealing account. Despite a website aimed at discrediting it (probably a Muslim source), this following account is 100% true. If you doubt it truthfulness and wish to verify it yourself, the author invites you to contact him in the USA at his Email address:
Last month I attended my annual training session thats required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their belief systems. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: Please, correct me if Im wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If thats the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, Non-believers!
I responded, So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can go to heaven. Is that correct? The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, Yes. I then stated, Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven! The Imam was speechless.
I continued, I also have problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to to be with me You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. (end of quote).
Note: Needless to say, the organisers and/or promoters of the Diversification training seminar were not happy with Ricks way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims beliefs.

[The following is part of an article (p.3) from the website of Crescent International, newsmagazine of the Islamic Movement. The heading on page 1 is Islamic Revolution: the only possible future for Pakistan. It is primarily about the proposed overthrow of the Pakistani Government and the establishment of an Islamic State as exists in its neighbour, Iran. The importance of this extract for Australia is obvious, for it clearly states global Islamic implementation (point 6) throughout the world (point
of its political objectives is the aim of Islam. The article goes on to say The political objectives that must now be pursued by the Islamic movement in Pakistan, and in all other parts of the world, can now be deduced directly from the political objectives of the Ummah. (our emphasis). This was compiled by a group of leaders representing the Islamic world, not a fringe group of extremists. Our translation of Arabic words is in square brackets].
- frontiers is the duty of every Muslim. None of the failures of Pakistan can be attributed to the people of Pakistan. The Muslim masses of Pakistan have remained as oppressed as they were under the British raj. This colonialism from within has made Pakistan an integral part of the worldwide American empire. No verdict on Pakistan is possible until the people of Pakistan have had a chance to shape the destiny of the State. That destiny is the establishment of an Islamic State in Pakistan. How is this to be achieved? It has already been argued that the future of Pakistan is not a matter that concerns the people of Pakistan only. This is a question of concern to the entire Ummah. That being so, any future that we may contemplate for Pakistan, or for any part of the Ummah, must be in harmony with the future that we must also seek for the entire Ummah. The world seminar on State and Politics in Islam that met here in London exactly a year ago (August 1983) formulated the political objectives of the Ummah in the following terms: (our emphasis).
1. to eliminate all authority other than Allah and His Prophet (saw) [may Allahs prayers be upon him];
2. to eliminate nationalism in all its shapes and forms, in particular the nation-States;
3. to unite all Islamic movements into a single global Islamic movement to establish the Islamic State;
4. to reconstruct the world of Islam into a system of Islamic States linked together by such institutions as are necessary to express the unity of the Ummah; [all muslims]
5. to eliminate all political, economic, social, cultural and philosophical influences of the western civilization that have penetrated the world of Islam;
6. to re-establish a dominant and global Islamic civilization based on the concept of tawheed; [worship of one god, Allah]
7. to create the necessary institutions for the pursuit of al-amr bil maruf wa al-nahy an al-munkar [that which Allah approves, and the forbidding of that which Allah disapproves];
8. to establish adl (justice) [i.e. sharia law] in all human relationships at all levels throughout the world.

Appendix 2
War (Jihad) verses in the Quran.
These sample verses are from the translation of the Quran published by Penquin Classics, N.J.Dawood, 2003 edition. This edition uses God where earlier editions by Dawood and other translators used Allah. This gives the false impression that Allah of the Quran is the same as the God of the Bible. So for God read Allah. Chapters (Suras) in the Quran are not chronologically listed. Longer ones are first, and shorter ones later. Numbering of the verses may vary depending on the translation. If a reference seems irrelevant, check up to 5 verses either side.
2:218 Those that have embraced the Faith, and those that have fled their land and fought for the cause of God, may hope for Gods mercy.
2:244 Fight for the cause of God and bear in mind that God hears all and knows all.
4:74 Let those who would exchange the life of this world for the hereafter, fight for the cause of God; whoever fights for the cause of God, whether he dies or triumphs, on him We shall bestow a rich recompense.
4:77 When they were ordered to fight, some of them feared man as much as they feared God or even more, Lord, they said, why do You bid us fight? Could you not give us a brief respite?
4:84 Therefore fight for the cause of God. You are accountable for none but yourself. Rouse the faithful: perchance God will overthrow the might of the unbelievers. Mightier is God and more terrible is His punishment.
4:89 They would have you disbelieve as they themselves have disbelieved, so that you may be all alike. Do not befriend them until they have fled their homes in the cause of God. If they desert you, seize them and put them to death wherever you find them. Look for neither friends nor helpers among them except those who seek refuge with your allies or come over to you because their hearts forbid them to fight against you or against their own people.
4:95 The believers who stay at home apart from those that suffer from a grave disability are not the equals of those who fight for the cause of God with their goods and their persons. God has exalted the men who fight with their goods and their persons above those who stay at home. God has promised all a good reward; but far richer is the recompense of those who fight for Him.
8:39 Make war on them [unbelievers] until idolatry shall cease and Gods religion shall reign supreme.
8:65 Prophet, rouse the faithful to arms (to fight). If there are twenty steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish two hundred; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers.
8:72 Those that have embraced the Faith and fled their homes, and fought for the cause of God with their wealth and with their persons; and those that have sheltered them and helped them, shall be as friends to each other.
9:5 When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.
