Since the horror of 9/11, we've learned a great deal about the enemy. We have learned that they are evil and kill without mercy -- but not without purpose. We have learned that they form a global network of extremists¹ who are driven by a perverted vision of Islam² -- a totalitarian ideology that hates freedom, rejects tolerance, and despises all dissent. And we have learned that their goal is to build a radical Islamic empire where women are prisoners in their homes, men are beaten for missing prayer meetings, and terrorists have a safe haven to plan and launch attacks on America and other civilized nations. The war against this enemy is more than a military conflict. It is the decisive ideological³ struggle of the 21st century, and the calling of our generation. 

1. Was Muhammad bin Abdullah, the founder of Islam, an extremist?  His recitation of Allah's commands set the doctrinal standard for Islam. "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve..." "Fight them until ...only allah is worshiped..." "Fight them until... they pay the Jizya ... and feel themselves subdued".  Are those mere empty words, or did Muhammad carry out those commands?  He dictated and dispatched extortion letters.  He followed up on them with his army.  Let us examine one critical case:  the Jewish settlement at Khaibar. 

   In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
   
   From Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah who is like Moosa (Moses A.S.) a prophet and messenger and he testifies to what Moosa (A.S.) had brought.
   
   0 people of Torah, has Allah not stated in the Torah that "Muhammad (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) is a Prophet of Allah. The people who will be with him, shall be harsh towards the enemies of Allah. And amongst themselves, they shall be kind and loving. They shall bow and prostrate before Allah. And they shall seek His bounty and goodwill".
   
   I ask you to swear by Allah, who sent Torah for you and who made your forefathers eat 'mann, and 'Salva' and dried sea for them and rid them of the tyranny of pharaoh. It is not written in Torah that you should believe in me?
   
   After the explanation about me in the Torah, do guidance and transgression become apparent?
   
   Therefore I invite you towards Allah and His Prophet.'
   
   Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad
   

   Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 512: Narrated Anas: The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, "Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned." Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet . The Prophet made her manumission as her 'Mahr'.

   If Muhammad was not an extremist, then are those who obey Allah's commands and emulate Muhammad's actions extremists? No, they follow the standard set by Allah and his messenger! 
2. What is perverted about Salafism?  It is obedience to Allah's commands and Muhammad's Sunnah. What did Allah command besides Jihad & terror?  He commanded genocide.

   8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

   Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390: Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi: I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.

3. President Bush will not name the enemy, which is Islam.  Neither will he list the ideas which make it inimical to peace and liberty.  In this document, I have documented three of them.  Now is the time to demand that President Bush name the enemy, acknowledge the doctrines which make it inimical to our way of life, and confront it with effective action on both the military and ideological fronts.
