What is the Real Goal of Islam?

By Missionary Evangelist Dr Dave Smeltz

AS we approach this subject we cannot and should not speculate on the why’s of Islam and the expansion of this polity throughout the world. History reveals how Islam spread during the crusades. The Crusades can be divided into seven specific times.
• The First Crusade 1098-1099 was the most successful. This crusade captured Jerusalem and established several states in the Middle East.
• The Second Crusade 1146-1148 was not successful and a disastrous attempt to recapture Edessa, which had been conquered by the Muslims in 1144. At first the recapturing of Lisbon from the Muslims was successful in 1147. When it arrived in the East most of this army of Crusaders was crushed in Asia Minor in December 1147 before they ever reached the Holy land.
• The Third Crusade 1188-1192 was called by Pope Gregory VIII in the wake of Saladin’s capture of Jerusalem and destruction of the Crusader forces at Hattin in 1187.
• The Fourth Crusade 1201-1204 was disastrously diverted by a claimant to the Byzantine throne, who convinced the Crusaders to come to Constantinople to help him press his claim. The Crusaders sacked the city and shocked the Christian world. The establishment of the Latin kingdom earned the enmity of the Byzantines and brought about the weakling of the already Byzantine Empire.
• The Fifth Crusade 1218-1221 focused on Egypt. The crusaders hope to crush the Egyptian power so they could recapture Jerusalem. They besieged Damietta, a city on the Nile Delta that was a gateway to Egypt’s great cities, Cairo and Alexandria. The siege dragon on and the Egyptian sultan Al-Kamil grew worried and twice offered the Crusaders a restored kingdom of Jerusalem if they would leave Egypt. The Crusaders refused and ultimately took Damietta. Because of disunity among the Crusaders it ultimately doomed them. The Crusaders concluded an eight year truce and abandoned Damietta in exchange for the True Cross (a relic of the cross used to crucify Jesus) which Saladin had captured.
• The Sixth Crusade 1228-1229 was a continuation of the fifth crusade. After years of delaying the Crusade Vow, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II was excommunicated by the pope even though he still made his way to the Hoy Land. Kamil then offered a ten year truce to the Crusaders by which he would regain Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth. Frederick agreed to leave Jerusalem defenseless whereby allowing the Muslims to remain without restrictions. The Muslims saw the opportunity to retake the city and in 1244 killed a large number of Christians and burning numerous churches including the church of the Holy Sepulcher.
• The Seventh Crusade 1248-1250 was the best as it was well equipped and well organized. It was led by the pious French King Louis IX. He had set his sights on Egypt and captured Damietta. While he attempted to take Cairo he was defeated at Mansourah shortly thereafter Louis himself was captured.
Antioch was established their first Kingdom in 1098 and fell to the warriors of a jihad in 1268. In 1291 the Muslims took Acre devastating the Crusaders army in the process. Over the coming years most Christian cities fell.
After the Crusades the Muslims resumed their attempt to Conquer Europe by jihad. Today most of Europe is heavily controlled by Muslims. Some have said that by 2012 they will control 51% of Europe. When they reach this number they will take over Europe.
Christians are as responsible as Muslims for Islamic conquest of Eastern Europe. They made short-sighted and disastrous alliances with jihad forces. We are seeing some of this happen now with the United Nations. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been compromising our position with Israel to appease the Palestinians. This is no more than an agreement with the Jihads. President Obama bowed to the Saudi King which is no more than a compromise of the position we have taken against Jihadist. Remember, the 18 individuals who participated in 911 were from Saudi Arabia.
Most Western Leaders like Harry Reed, President Obama, Hilary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi think they can win the hearts and minds of the Islamic community and are naïve and shortsighted as to the jihads goals which is to conquer America without a shot by infiltration and acting friendly with so called moderate Muslims.” A perfect example of this has been seen in the Fort Hood terrorist attack by Major Hussan.
We expect to see more of this in the coming months.
Now the question is what is the real goal of Islam. History reveals the Muslims have had two real Jihads. One was in the beginning years of the organization of Islam and began in Mecca in the Battle at Badr in March 17, 624 AD during the month of Ramadan. The raids continued even after the death of Muhammad. A century after the death of Muhammad an Islamic empire extended from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to Central Asia in the east. The subsequent empires of the Umayyads, Abbasids, the Fatimids, the Mughals, the Safavids, and Ottomans were among the largest and most powerful in the world. The Islamic civilization gave rise to many centers of culture and science and produced notable scientists, astronomers, mathematicians, doctors, nurses and philosophers during the Golden Age of Islam. Technology flourished; there was much investment in economic infrastructure, such as irrigation systems and canals; and especially, the importance of reading the Qur'an produced a comparatively high level of literacy in the general populace.
This great Assyrian Christian civilization would come to an end in 1300 A.D. The tax which the Arabs levied on Christians, simply for just being Christian, forced many Assyrians to convert to Islam to avoid the tax; this inexorably drained the community, so that by the time Timurlane the Mongol delivered the final blow in 1300 A.D., by violently destroying most cities in the Middle East, the Assyrian Christian community had dwindled to its core in Assyria, and henceforth the Assyrian Church of the East would not regain its former glory, and the Assyrian language, which had been the lingua franca of the Middle East until 900 A.D., was completely supplanted by Arabic (except amongst the Assyrians). This, from 1300 A.D. until World War One, became the second Assyrian Dark Age.
Now what is the result of all of this?
The first jihad started with Mohammad. His armies conquered all of Arabia. In the hundred years after his death, his armies conquered most of the Middle East, North Africa and Spain. The first jihad lasted from 622 AD until 750 AD.
The second major jihad started in 1071 AD. Islamic armies toppled Constantinople and spread into Europe, India, and further into Africa. The second jihad began to decline when the Muslim army was stopped on September 11th, 1683 at the gates of Vienna, Austria.
We have seen through history how the Islamic push has dominated, all other cultures, all other religions, and all other governments. They have never stopped in almost 1400 years. But now we are seeing a recurring of large waves of success for the Islamic expansion. They now have their sights on America and will not stop until they take America. They are very patient and realize it will take years to take control. They have infiltrated the government, the military and many communities are seeing a rise in the population of Muslims through out America. The prison system which is mostly populated by Black Americans is being converted in large numbers. These are the future members to carry out a jihad in this country. President Barack Obama affiliation with Reverend Wright’s church which is made up of 80% plus of Muslims is a perfect example. WE know Obama was elected by the youth of America and the largest Black and Hispanic vote in the history of this country. The Acorn incident will play a part in History as to the many non accountable votes that were cast by dead people. The push for Medical care and free giveaways will Bankrupt America as the rich are expected to pay for the poor. This is one of the tenants of the faith in Islam is called the (Zakat) which basically is a charity tax. Zaket literally means purification. It is a required donation a Muslim has to make once a year to "purify" his wealth, i.e. use part of it for the good and benefit of others.
To fulfill the obligation of Zaket, a Muslim must compute the difference between his/her capital for that year and the year before. If the difference exceeds a minimum amount known as Nisaab [currently estimated at $1000.00 in the US], then he/she must donate 1/40 th of this difference amount as Zaket.
The recipients of this donation cover groups of Muslims in the community who are needy and are specifically mentioned in the Qur'an. The move on the rich in America is an Islamic move to bring everyone under subjection. Everyone is equal and ruled by Allah the false Islamic god.
So, what is the plan? I believe we are entering the Third Jihad. This is the final push to rule the world and have Allah as its God. This could be the one world church spoken of in scripture. Yet we do know that there must be a uniting nations to come together to defeat Israel which will happen during the tribulation period. Ezekiel 38:4-7
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
I think it would be wise that we start preparing. I believe the Catholic Church will join forces with Islam as it will have no other choice and this will take place during the first half of the tribulation period. Revelation 17:12 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Remember the Crusades… Compromise..
Finally we need look at the time clock around this. What is it going to take for this come about? I believe Israel is the key. What will Israel do? One either invades Iran or Iran will invade Israel and this could usher in the coming Christ? To be very honest the only event that is needed is for the Father to say to Jesus go and get your bride. Come Quickly Lord Jesus…
