The paragraph below is my response to Trump the Deal-maker and the Middle East by Amir Taheri • March 4, 2018 at 5:00 am. Amir Taheri explained, in historical and thematic terms, why Trump's ultimate deal will fall through. I explain why all plans that do not involve the elimination of Islam will fail. I have added links to the text citations and relevant quotes below with the crucial clauses emphasized.
[Emphasis added.]
God Will give It as a prey.'
of Aslam came to the apostle and complained that they had fought and got
nothing and found nothing with the apostle which he could give them. He
said: ~O God, You know their condition and that they have no strength,
and that I have nothing to give them, so conquer for them the wealthiest
of the enemy's forts with the richest food.' The following day God conquered
the fort of al-Sa'b b, Mu'adh which contained the richest food in
Khaybar.
760 When the apostle had conquered some of their forts and got possession
of some of their property he came to their two forts al-Watih and al-Sulalim,
the last to be taken, and the apostle besieged them for some ten nights
757 And Lord of the lands and what they make to grow
And Lord of the devils and what into error they throw
And Lord of the winds and what they winnow,
We ask Thee for the good of this town and the good of its people and the
good of what is in it, and we take refuge in Thee from its evil and the evil
of its people and the evil that is in it. Forward in the name of Allah.' He
used to say that of every town he entered.
[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. ]
The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o11.4) -which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself-while remaining in their ancestral religions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High,
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled" (Koran 9.29),
the time and place for which is before the final descent of Jesus (upon whom be peace). After his final coming, nothing but Islam will be accepted from them, for taking the poll tax is only effective until Jesus' descent (upon him and our Prophet be peace), which is the divinely revealed law of Muhammad. The coming of Jesus does not entail a separate divinely revealed law, for he will rule by the law of Muhammad. As for the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace),
"I am the last, there will be no prophet after me,"
this does not contradict the final coming of Jesus (upon whom be peace), since he will not rule according to the Evangel, but as a follower of our Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) ).
The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book, nor honored as such, and are not permitted to settle with paying the poll tax (jizya) ) (n: though according to the Hanafi school, peoples of all other religions, even idol worshippers, are permitted to live under the protection of the Islamic state if they either become Muslim or agree to pay the poll tax, the sole exceptions to which are apostates from Islam and idol worshippers who are Arabs, neither of whom has any choice but becoming Muslim (al-Hidaya sharh Bidaya al-mubtadi' (y21), 6.48-49) ).
Which side is the predator?!? Return to the quote of Reliance o9.8 above and read the conditional clause. If you are under attack, do you prosletyze the attacker before retaliating?!
I dissected the Muslim version of Trump's ultimate deal, go and read the details. I exhibited and explained the ayat and ahadith which make peace impossible in a multipart series on "Why Peace Is Impossible".
It is not an Arab vs Jew conflict. Exterminating the Jews will not end the war. If Iran nuked Israel tomorrow, Muslims would remain obligated to reconquer the Balkans and al-Andalus.
President Trump: What part of "From the river to the sea" do you not comprehend? What part of "first the Saturday people, then the Sunday people" do you not understand?. What part of the Islamic law quoted above do you not comprhend? What does the caliph do and why. "If there is no caliph, no permission is reqired.".
