حسب التعاليم الإسلامية التي تطبق وتدرس في كل بلد إسلامي و في كل مسجد هنا في أمريكا و حول العالم فان اليهود و المسيحيين هم أتباع لأديان صاغها البشر. بينما الدين الإسلامي هو دين منزل من الله نفسه.

Why Muslims Think They Are Superior

While living in Indonesia for an extended period of time in an all-Muslim neighborhood, I took it upon myself to learn about the culture, the language, and most importantly, to learn about the teachings of Islam. One of the first things I did was to hire a language teacher that just happened to be a devout Muslim. Hence, not only did I take language lessons 7 days a week from my Indonesian teacher, he taught me why he believed Islam was the only true religion in the world and why I should convert to Islam.

What I discovered from my language teacher really did amaze me because according to Muslims, every soul on this earth is a Muslim whether they know it or not because Islam was created by God while all other religions were created by man. Let me repeat that so I make myself clear. Muslims believe Islam was created by God; Muhammad was the messenger of God while Jesus never even spoke to God, much less was the son of God. Hence, Islam was founded by God while Jesus, a simple man, founded a man-made religion.

Before I explain this logic further, it is important to understand three principle meanings that all Muslims learn when learning about Islam.

1) Islam means to submit to the will of God which means living in accordance with the intentions of the Creator as set down in the Quran by Muhammad’s scribes.

2) Islam is a religion that is a set of beliefs, customs and rituals practiced by a group of people known as Muslims

3) Islam is a set of cultural, linguistic, historical and racial features common to a geographical area known as the Muslim countries and to people originating from these countries.

If Muslims believe that Islam is total submission to the will of God and that this theory existed throughout all of human history, even Abraham, a Jew was a Muslim since he is described as “walking in the ways of God.” Hence, people following the ways of God are known as sincere Muslims. Since Islam is a religion based on the Qur’an, it is important to understand that Muhammad believed that even prior to his time, the Jews and all the other people that believed in one God were in essence Muslims and therefore followed in the footsteps of true Islam.

One example used by modern Muslims to rationalize why everyone is a Muslim if they believe in one God is Napoleon Bonaparte, the great French Emperor. While in exile on the island of St. Helena, Napoleon wrote a book entitled, “The Thoughts of the Prisoner of the Island of St. Helena” that was published shortly after his death. The most quoted phase from this book by Muslims from Napoleon’s book is “The existence of one God is undoubtable, but all religions are created by man.” Hence, if Napoleon meant the Creator of the Universe, then “such belief in existence of one God would make Napoleon a sincere Muslim.

So, if you happen to believe in one God, the Creator of the Universe, and you do not believe in any other gods, and most importantly, you seek to live your life honestly in accordance with

the intentions of the Creator, according to Islamic teachings you are a sincere Muslim.

According to Muslims, while the Hebrew prophets might have given the world the fundamental values of the creator, the Jews wanted to keep these values to themselves and it was only Jesus that wished to spread the values of the Hebrew prophets among the non-Jews.

So, since Jesus was only a prophet and Muhammad was the actual messenger of God, the Muslims faith dictates them to believe that while the Christians might have benefited from the values of the Hebrew prophet, they wrapped themselves up in myths of a man-shaped God who according to Muslims, believe he, that being Jesus, had a wife and a son. Muslims also believe that the Hebrew prophets invented the myth of the Trinity. Hence, most of our values are based upon myth and a man-made God while Muslims values are based upon the true God and Muhammad was his humble messenger. How else could we believe in a false premise of a Trinity and that Jesus was the actual son of God?

Is it any wonder why Muslims are taught in every Mosque in the world that Islam can’t live side-by-side with any other Religion if every other religion in the world was created by man except Islam? This theory explains why in every Muslim country in the world since Muhammad’s time non-Muslims have been persecuted daily, killed, and taxed to death unless they converted to Islam and the practice is still quite alive today around the world.

According to Islam, all other beliefs are the result of people abandoning their beliefs in the one true faith and the result of Christianity is the spread of crimes against people and property, the use of drugs and alcohol and of course sexual depravity.

Richard Bell, the great Muslim scholar, put it best when he summarized Muhammad’s final interactions with the Jews and Christian of Medina when his power base was spreading into northern Arabia when, “neither Jews nor Christians will be satisfied with him (referring to Muhammad) until he follows their milla or type of religions. It was just as impossible for him to make concessions…Thus the relationship with the Christians ended as that with the Jews ended, in war.”

According to my Indonesian language teacher and every other Muslim I have met in my travels around the Muslim world, the only way to save the planet and our souls is to bring mankind back to the values of the Prophets and away from the depravity that all the other man-made faiths teach.

Muhammad’s disdain and feeling of superiority over all other religions, especially the Jews might have started at the early age of nine or twelve according some Muslims when Muhammad went with a merchant caravan to Syria. During the trip, they stopped at a place called Bostra where there was a Christian monk that lived in cave. The story goes that Bahira, the Monk; saw a low-hanging cloud that moved with the travelers shading them from the hot sun. Bahira knew that such a portent was of high significance and he immediately thought of the expected Prophet so he invited them in for food, drink, and conversation. According to

legend, the Monk told Abu Talib, Muhammad’s uncle to “Take thy brother’s son back to his country, and guard him against the Jews, for by God, if they see him and know of him that which I know, they will contrive evil against him.”

So you see, even before Muhammad started his prophecy, it was told to him that Jews were evil and out to destroy him and his vision of the world being but one religion. According to believers of Islam, Muhammad was the one true prophet the world had been waiting for so truly he was the one true messenger of God. According to all the teachings of Islam practiced in every Muslim country and every Muslim Mosque here in America and around the world, Jews and Christians are but followers of man-made religions while Islam was created by God himself. It is the duty of every Muslim to convert us to Islam or force us to pay the Jiyza (tax) for our evil ways. How could Muslims not be disillusioned into feeling superior to the rest of the world
