CAIR and Mexican Border

Muslim Facebook page pushes for anarchy on Mexican border.
What reason would Muslims encourage the invasion of illegal immigrants on our southern border unless their were Muslims coming in?  They certainly could care less about infidels or Hispanic Catholics who believe in the Trinity or the cross which they hate.
They say love "knows no borders" yet Muhammad's vision for the Arabian Peninsula was that it would be purged of all non-Muslims.  To this day no non-Muslims are allowed in Mecca.

Sin and the Crescent Moon

Quran Burning?

To burn or Not to burn
by Dale Brown

When Dove World Outreach placed a sign out in front of their church in Florida claiming that Islam was of the devil, they got a firestorm of criticism. Later they promoted the idea to burn a Quran on 9/11 in honor of those who perished when Muslims hijacked and crashed several planes killing thousands of innocent people in an act of jihad against America. Soon others followed in the Quran burning protest.

Criticism came from several camps. Some felt that it was out of line to offend the billion plus Muslims of the world with such an act, claiming it was not a Christian thing to do. Others thought that it would be better served to study the Quran to better answer the questions of the Muslim religion.
This can be addressed in a number of ways from the Bible. First, it is not totally unbiblical to burn cultic books. In Acts 19:19 numerous books were burned by new converts in renouncing their previous ties to occultic practices. This is common even today in helping prevent them from falling back into unhealthy beliefs. Some will argue that Islam is not magic or of the occult therefore this does not apply. Many Muslims however believe the Quran to have magical powers and Allah will chastise those who do not show respect for Mohammed's revelation.  In burning a Quran one makes a statement that they are not afraid of Allah because he is not the God of the Bible. In many cases people are not afraid of Allah, but they are terrorized of his followers however, who think they need to take matters into their own hands and act as Allah's little helpers. Many Christians have a similar view of the Bible, thinking that to mark or damage a Bible will bring God's judgment up them.

The story of Gideon is helpful in understanding the biblical view of God's perspective on honoring false gods. Gideon was instructed to tear down the altars of Baal and the Asherah (Judges 6:25-31). The followers of the cult were obviously offended and wanted his hide. Gideons father told the people that if Baal was truly God he could surely take care of himself. Let Baal contend for himself.
In dealing with the false religions under the law of Moses they were instructed not only to destroy the altars but to not bring any of the related loot into your house and thus be snared by it. "And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, and like it come under the ban; you shall utterly detest it and you shall utterly abhor it, for it is something banned (Deu. 7:1-26). They were not to become linked to the cultists in marriage or business for fear of caving in to false religious beliefs.

The New Testament addresses this in a similar fashion. If someone comes to your house bringing some religion other than the gospel we are warned not to allow them into our house, and not to give them a greeting of friendship (2 John 7-10). This serves two purposes; one in which a statement is made to the false teacher that he needs to repent. Secondly, the person is protecting his own household from false religion. Now the argument can be made that it might be more productive to invite the person in and try to reason with them and convert them to the truth. This however is only for those who are adequately equipped for theological debate. The average person is likely to be left confused and overwhelmed by the arguments of the cultists.  So, into the fireplace with the cultic literature.

Mosque in Rome


Churches are banned in Saudi Arabia but now the Mosque of Rome, with an area of 30,000 m², is the largest mosque in Europe and can accommodate twelve thousand people. According to Wikipedia the mosque was jointly founded by the exiled Prince Muhammad Hasan of Afghanistan and his wife, Princess Razia Begum and was financed by Faisal of Saudi Arabia, head of the Saudi royal family, as well as Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. The project was designed and directed by Paolo PortoghesiVittorio Gigliotti and Sami Mousawi. Its construction took more than ten years: the Roman City Council donated the land in 1974, but the first stone was not laid for another ten years, in 1984 (1405 AH), in the presence of then President of the Italian Republic Sandro Pertini, with its inauguration on June 21, 1995.
This appears to be a Trojan horse in Rome. Sandro Magister reported that the imam who preaches the "khutba" there every Friday was sent by the theologians of the Al Azhar university in Cairo, the most authoritative university in the Muslim world. And the things said in the Rome mosque are no small matter. The sermon of June 6, 2003, culminated with the following invocations, interspersed with the "Amen"s of the congregation:"O Allah, grant victory to the Islamic fighters in Palestine, Chechnya, and elsewhere in the world! O Allah, destroy the homes of the enemies of Islam! O Allah, help us to annihilate the enemies of Islam! O Allah, make firm everywhere the voice of the nation of Islam!"

MUSLIM BLACKS & SLAVERY

Black is not Always Beautiful
The Interpretation of the Noble Qur’an endorsed by the Saudi Chief Justice might be a difficult pill for American blacks to swallow if they read it objectively. It’s describes judgment day in ethnic terms. "So on that Day no question will be asked of man or jinni as to his sin [because they have already been known from their faces either white (dwellers of Paradise — true believers of Islamic Monotheism) or black (dwellers of Hell — polytheists, disbelievers, criminals)]. The Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, sinners) will be known by their marks (black faces), and they will be seized by their forelocks and their feet." (see Surah 39:60, 55:39)

Thinking that Christianity is a white man’s religion some Black Muslims have a twisted understanding of slavery in the Muslim world.  Mohammed clearly allowed slavery and took women "whom your right hand possesses" (Surah 33:50) in addition to his wives for sex.  
Muslims in many countries have taken part in the slave trade. As a matter of fact, Saudi Arabia, the home of the Grand Mosque and Qa’ba of Mecca, continued slavery as a common practice until it was abolished in 1962. Though the African country of Mauritania, because of global political pressure, outlawed slavery in 1980, many Arab masters, still hold black slaves. It is not merely a sin of white Christian culture. Temptation to capitalize on the benefits of cheap labor is as broad as humanity itself. Even certain American Indian tribes were known to capture members of other clans. Human nature is not necessarily dictated by the color of our skin.

Allah's 99 names?

As with the Hebrew Bible the Qur’an calls God by many descriptive names; "The Mighty", "The First", "The Last", "the Merciful One", Etc. The Qur’an cites ninety-nine names of Allah which are descriptive of his character and holiness etc. Some of these titles are listed in Surah 59:23,24. They are often recited while fingering the ninety-nine worry-beads of the Muslim rosary.

A tract entitled Concept of God in Islam published by the Muslim proselytizing group WAMY makes the claim that Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister language of Arabic. This is simply not true. An Aramaic dictionary will show that there were many names used for God in the Jewish Tenach. El, Elohim, Eloah were general terms for the Deity, even used for false gods. We see it linked with other Jewish words such as Israel, Michael, Daniel etc. Yahweh (Jehovah in Latin) is the common pronunciation of the tetragammaton (YHWH) or "I AM". Adonai (Lord) became the most common word used in reference to the God of Israel because of fear of taking the name YHWH in vain. Allah is nowhere to be found. Muslims speak much of the 99 names of God, however El is never mentioned. Even when words like Jibrail (Gabrael) and Israel appear in the Qur’an they conveniently avoid referring to the obvious connection to the God (El) of the Jews. We might wonder why Israel in the Qur'an is not Isra-allah, or Jibrail is not Jibra-allah.

It seems quite clear that the Arabic word Allah was linked to ancient pagan deities of pre-Islam. Modern Muslims however are quick to dismiss such connections. It is claimed by some that Allah is the God Arabic-speaking Christians worship and that Allah is nothing other than a generic word for God such as the French Dieu, or the Spanish Dios. It seems rather odd that a true Christian would even consider Jesus to be the Son of a Pagan deity, yet that is what the modern Arabic Bible implies. In a tract distributed by WAMY it is claimed Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister language of Arabic. This is simply dishonest. The sister language statement is correct but any person with a simple Strongs Concordance can look in its Aramaic dictionary to get the truth about the many words used for the God of the Hebrews. Many English versions of the Qur’an translate the name simply "God." The question then lies in whether God looks beyond the technical data of history and looks at the intent of the human heart. I would suggest that the heart is more important on the surface of the argument but one must take a serious look at the nature of the God that Islam represents.  Notice that Jews in Jerusalem are not facing Mecca when they pray.  Neither did Jesus.  The thought of Jesus calling God his father is repulsive to a Muslim because they cannot comprehend that kind of relationship with the divine.


Mohammed's 7 Sleepers


SEVEN SLEEPERS and DANIEL'S TOMB?
by Dale Brown
There is a legend that claims that in about 250 AD seven Christians were commanded to renounce their faith during the persecution of Decius. They went into a cave near Tarsus where they were sealed in by some large stones. Two hundred years later the entrance was reopened and these seven fellows awoke as though it had been only a day. When one of them tried spending some of his ancient pocket change he became a public figure and was questioned by the local priest regarding this miraculous resurrection. Then strangely enough all seven fell asleep again. There are at least three caves claiming to be the historical location of this strange event. One is in Ephesus, and Mark Twain visited it in 1867 and wrote of what was then considered the authentic story of the lads who fell asleep after drinking some sort of strong drink.  Another is in Tarsus and the other one in Amman, Jordan. The Muslims have built a mosque over the cave in Tarsus while yet claiming the cave in Jordan to be the authentic one. The Qur’an has a chapter entitled Al-Kahf (The Cave, Surah 18) giving glory to this myth, however it adds a dog to the number of the seven sleepers and claims the seven men were being persecuted for Tawhid (their devotion to one God, Allah). Mohammed had some problems getting some of these stories straight. So, please don't confuse us with the facts. Mohammed was a prophet after all.
This is typical of Islam which has a history of making claim to various legends and sites. On Mount Sinai (Gebel Mousa) where Moses is supposed to have received the ten commandments next to the Christian chapel sits a small Muslim mosque where they claim Mohammed stopped for a moment on a night-long journey from Mecca to Ararat. They make claim to a footprint of the prophet's flying camel, Burack, on a rock there. This is similar to the claims made of a print on rock in Jerusalem where they have built the famous Dome of the Rock. There are several sites claiming to be the tomb of the prophet Daniel where they have built mosques. One is in Tarsus, Turkey, another in Kirkuk, Iraq. Muslims in Susa Iran, Samarkand Kzbekistan, Muqdadiyah Iraq, Mala Amir Kurdistan in Iran make similar claims.

Muslims elevate books and stories that are loaded with errors, yet reject the Bible because they claim it is not reliable. This all seems rather prejudicial but this is the mind of Islam. Given the fact that the Qur’an claims that the Scripture, both the Torah and the Gospel, revealed God’s truth and no one can change His Words, it is rather strange that the same book claims that all Scripture prior to the Qur’an has been changed (Surah 6:115).

Muslim Abrogation

Abrogation in the Qur’an, that is, the ability for Allah to change his mind and reveal a contradictory principle to his 
followers is common and not to be questioned. "Whatever a verse (revelation) do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is able to do all things?" "And when We change a verse (of the Qur’an) in place of another — and Allah knows best what he sends down — They (the disbelievers) say: ’You (O Muhammad) are but a Muftari! (forger, liar).’ Nay, but most of them know not." (Surah 2:106, 16:101)
This presents Allah as a God of contradictions thus making it easy for those reading the Qur’an to find nearly anything in it to justify whatever view fits with the present situation, especially in regards to fighting or punishing the infidel. If one wants to apply a principle it only requires finding the appropriate surah, preferably a most recent one that will trump an earlier revelation. Chapter 9 (Repentance) which has the most militant views about jihad is commonly understood to be of a later date in the process of revelation to Mohammed. By abrogation the Muslim is able to write off every Bible verse that contradicts the Quran.
According to the Qur’an the Muslim is considered free of all obligations and treaties made with Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) (Sura 9:1). And they wonder why westerners do not trust them. The Saudi flag, sporting its white sword on a holy field of green does not portray a very peaceful image. I wonder what the world would think if the United States flag had an image of an atomic mushroom cloud in a field of stars and stripes.

The double minded god is unstable in all his ways.

Muslim Baptism, which Jesus?

Opening to Surah 2:138 in the Quran shown above I read "(Our religion is) the Baptism of Allah..." This translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali is very misleading because Muslims don't do baptisms and you don't see this in other translations of the Quran. But this appeases the naive Christian who thinks in these terms however. This is pure poppycock being sent out by ISLAMICITY (non profit), Culver City, CA.

Moderate liars!
If Muslims love Jesus why do they hate the cross and refuse to be baptized in his name?  The same Jesus that healed the sick could also forgive sins.  This Muhammad could not do.  There were those during the time of Christ that asked, "who can forgive sins but God alone?" (Mark 2:6-11)  Jesus said, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning me?"  And the Jews answered him, "For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy; because you being a man make yourself out to be God." (John 10:31-33)  Though many Jews understood who he was and became his disciples, there were many who did not.  They could not understand that not only was Jesus the son of man, he was also the Son of God who came to be the sacrificial lamb.  When Israel rejected him as their messiah they set about the time for their judgment when their temple would be leveled and the would be scattered throughout the world until the end of the age of he Gentiles. (Luke 21:20-24)

Muslims play the Victim card

Playing the victim is a common way of introducing cultural jihad in the west by CAIR.  In the public schools using the "bully" buzz word quickly rallies a hedge of protection.  The Muslim cult has found this to be one of their favorite methods of neutralizing critical thinking about Muhammad's little followers.
 Freedom of speech is threatened and we need to push back.

Slave Soldiers and Dracula

The Ottoman Janissaries
Formed in 1359 by Murad, many of the early Muslim Janissaries soldiers were young boys taken as slaves by the Turks from Christian lands they had pillaged.  Brainwashed by rewards and Islamic texts they were trained to become crack troops for the sake of Allah and the Sultan for future jihad.
In west we have been fed a wild Hollywood tale about Dracula when in fact the story is rooted in the hellish world of dhimmis under the Muslim Turks.  Vlad Tepes and his brother Radu, were taken captive as security for their father's loyalty to the Sultan in 1442.  Their father being ruler of Wallachia (modern Romania) eventually died.  The two brothers were trained in war under the Sultan but Vlad eventually made a break for it and ended up back in his home country as an enemy of the Turks.  Vlad defied paying tribute to the Turks.  When the Sultan sent messengers to Vlad, legend has it, they had their turbans nailed to their heads because they did not remove them in respect, and were sent back in reply.  Later Vlad became known as the Impaler when he impaled a forest of people which later shocked the invading Muslim soldiers by the ghastly scene of rotting corpses being eaten by birds.  His very brother Radu became one of the enemies he was threatened with.  The impaling treatment was something he had learned from the Muslims and it worked well for him.  Terror is the Muslim way, sanctioned by the Quran in the name of Allah.  In 1453 Constantinople fell to the terrorists who eventually hunted down Vlad and many of his loyal troops.

The History of Jihad by Robert Spencer

The History of Jihad
From Muhammad to ISIS by Robert Spencer
review by Dale Brown
If you know anything about Robert Spencer you will know that he has spent most of his life consumed by research regarding Islam, Muhammad and the Quran.  As the director of Jihad Watch he has become one of the upmost authorities on the subject and for this he has been a target of scorn by liberals and even more seriously by Muslim fanatics who would very much like to silence him.  Because of his brave and open criticism of Muhammad's little helpers he has been added to the list of those forbidden entry to England for fear of starting a riot that the authorities cannot contain.
Robert Spencer with Pamela Geller
This latest book compiles the most thoroughly documented history of Muslim violence to date.  Loaded with references from the Quran and quotes from historical documents that few have access to he paints a picture of an ongoing violent stream of jihadi activity that has filled the streets with blood both east and west.  When many authors look to find the glorious golden years of Islam Spencer proves that those golden years have always been at the expense of infidels and financed by those dhimmis who have submitted to paying the jizyah tax in support of the Muslim cause.  Islam is ultimately about power but Spencer and others have demonstrated that words have power as well, especially when based on truth. That is what this book is about the true history of terror that Islam has brought to the world since the day of prophet Muhammad when he and his followers raided caravans and slaughter Jewish villages in the Arabian desert.
He sheds more light on those nasty Crusaders that Muslims and liberals so often point to in defense of Muslim atrocities.  Had there been no invasion by Muslim soldiers there would have been no need for Crusaders.  The crusades did not get organized enough to even be talked about until several hundreds years after Muhammad's followers had conquered most of North Africa and spread terror all the way to India.  In order to establish a worldwide governing Caliphate by year 711 Muslims stormed across the Strait of Gibraltar into Iberia (Spain), then by year 1001 Mahmud of Ghazni, the Sultan of the day, was destroying Hindu temples of idolatry converting them to Mosques and stacking up mountainous piles of human heads while the streets ran with blood. The Muslim slave market became so overwhelmed with victims that the average person could afford a slave. If you were a Muslim soldier you might have as many women sex slaves as you pleased.  Those were the Golden Years in India.  Muslim wealth through pillage.
Back in Europe, kingdoms divided by theological dispute, found that turning the other cheeks was little defense for Islamic invaders who were eager to tear down those crosses and images that smacked of idolatry and bring the people of the Book (Bible) into the submission to the god of the Arabs.  That Trinity thing was most offensive and surely God could never have had a Son so the remedy was to slaughter those who promotes such things and tax those who are willing to submit to dhimmitude under Muslim rule, oh and don't forget, take the sons of the infidels and train them to become Muslim soldiers.

While we in the west were shaken by radicals on 9/11 the rest of the world had been living this nightmare for hundreds of years.  Our politicians who had never read a Quran and knew little of this history were left baffled by our oil rich Muslim allies who kept telling them Islam is a religion of peace.  Well yes, all is peace when Islam is in control.
Fighting between the two factions of Islam, the Shiites and the Sunnis, has at times been our saving grace however they still agree on one thing, us non-Muslim kafirs need to be brought under submission to the God of the Kaaba in Mecca.  Strange how that all looks to us in the west but Spencer lays it out in black and white for all the world to see in this 400 page book.  This was definitely one worth adding to my library.

Islam and Junk Science

Islam, like other cults, like to use fake science to convince people of the reliability of their prophet's revelation.  They often take a small verse from their religious book and make a big leap of judgment to make it line up with some supposed scientific data.  Christians have been guilty of this as well, however Islam goes to great extreme to make Muhammad a vehicle of scientific truth by some miraculous spiritual means.  The cover of the following book shows a Quran flying through space like it landed at Mecca in printed form straight from outer space.
A BRIEF ILLUSTRATION GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING ISLAM
Published by Darussalam, Houston, Texas
(loaded with fake science for the naive and uneducated)
It claims that those who turn away from the Quran "will have a life of hardship in this world." (pg 43)  Rather odd that so many Muslim countries are war torn third world countries when the Quran is supposed to be such a blessing.
Holy Smoke
Citing Surah 41:11 "Then He [Allah] turned to the heaven when it was smoke...") this book claims this a scientific proof of Muhammad's revelation.
Surah 16:15 reads, "And He [Allah] has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you..."  This is supposed to prove that mountains extend deep into the earth's crust with roots that stabilize the earth keeping it from shaking. (pg.13)  So, mountains should prevent earthquakes.  Muhammad apparently had never been near a volcano.
Man Evolved from a Leech!
"We created man from an extract of clay.  Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed.  Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot, then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)...) (Surah 23:13-14) (pg. 6&7)
So there you have it.
 Apparently Darwin had never read the Quran.
The Quran has a different spin on the origin of life. "Allah has created every (living) creature from water. Of them there are some that creep on their bellies, and some that walk on two legs, and some that walk on four." (Surah 24:45, 21:30)

On page 40 there is a quote from an expert on science and religion named Hillary Rodham Clinton, "Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people..."  Now if that doesn't convince you the following surely will.  
Muhammad's book of science claims that Jews are the most greedy of mankind and Allah turned some of them into apes and swine.  (Surah 2:9, 5:60, 7:166)

Pakistan pressures Google with Sharia

This post of ours, critical of Islam, received a complaint from Pakistan.  They very much would like to impose sharia (Muslim law) on our freedom of speech.

Muhammad in D.C.

We often hear the argument that Islam is in harmony with American justice because there is a relief carving of Muhammad on the walls of the Supreme Court.
Our Capitol is decorated with numerous historical and mythical figures.  At the National Library there is a fountain statue of Neptune.
The Washington Monument is a huge phallic symbol which in ancient history represented the fertility cults of various pagan religions.
Many of our founding fathers owned a copy of the Quran because they wanted to understand the ideology of Islam.  I own several copies of the Quran yet like most of our founding fathers understand it contradicts and challenges both the Jewish Old Testament as well as the New Testament and the gospel.  How is it that statues of southern soldiers are being removed for racist or unethical lives while Muhammad who murdered the Jews of Khaybar, married a 6 year old, and was a slave trader, is on full display on the walls of the Supreme Court in DC?

Shi'ites

SHI’ITES
          The loyal followers of Ali known as the Shi’at Ali, or “party of Ali” have continued to fight for what they consider to be divine rights in the rule of the Islamic world.  The Shi’ites can be seen lacerating themselves during the annual commemoration of the martyrdom of past leaders.
          The Shi’ite faction which became the state religion of Iran brought about new ideas regarding divine eligibility to the caliphate which is linked to the royal blood line of the prophet.[1]  Out of this conviction sprang an elite group of “Ismailites” who held a secret order similar to western Masonic mysticism in which members were led to believe they would hold the keys of the Talim or Secret Doctrine (that God is All) elevating them above every creed and law.  This required a somewhat more allegorical interpretation of the Qur’an.  It also required of course total obedience to the Dai-d-Duat, or Grand Master of the order.  Often times esoteric views have been put forth related to numerology and transmigration of the soul from the dead to certain living leaders or Imams.  Some of these ideas are most difficult for the western mind to grasp.  Their numerology ideas are possibly linked to ancient Jewish mysticism called the kabballa, or even numerical patterns in the Bible.  A group of twelve Imams, the “Twelvers,” in Iran claimed to direct the world’s future and around them developed a tradition of followers making pilgrimages to their tombs.  A considerable business is maintained around the burial of corpses of the faithful around the cities where these tombs are found.  They are carted here from considerable distances.  Imam Husain, the grandson of the prophet being an important focus of honor.  Husain is one of those martyrs for whom the faithful flail themselves with an assortment of blades during the Ashura, or traditional day of mourning at the memorial in Karbala, Iraq.  It is a frenzied form of mourning that few in the west can wrap their minds around.  Boys as young as five or six years old take part to show their bravery and devotion. 


A student of the Bible might have Old Testament scenes of the conflict with Elijah and the prophets of Baal come to mind.  The prophets of Baal used similar methods for getting the attention of their god.[2]  The mystical idea of the reappearance of a Hidden Imam as the Mahdi (Guided One), who will bring peace and justice has been promoted through various leaders who have preached Islamic reform.  This became the foundation of the Fatimid dynasty.
         One present day sect, the Druze, believes that God was incarnated in al-Hakim, the sixth Fatimid caliph in Cairo (1016).  The Druze religion is a somewhat underground belief system found in Lebanon and southern Syria.
    Abu al-Abbas, great-great-grandson of one of Mohammed’s uncles, proclaimed himself caliph in 749.  Embittered to see the liberal Umayyad, tribal enemies of the prophet carrying the caliph torch for Islam, he took on an addition to his name, al Saffah, the Bloodthirsty.  He announced a great feast for eighty Umayyad leaders during which his soldiers fell upon the unsuspecting dinner guests with their swords.
          Another rival caliphate, an Umayyad descendant who fled a Abbasid massacre brought about the Umayyad dynasty and caliphate of Spain with its capital in Cordoba until 1031.  Muslim Spain had rejected al-Saffah’s authority.  In the 10th century the Fatimid caliphates ruled much of north Africa and posed a serious threat to the Abbasids in Baghdad.  So went the ebb and flow of Arab politics and Muslim rule.  Had it not been for infighting among Muslim kingdoms, some say, Islam would have swept Christian Europe off the map.  Often the main cohesive glue that has held Islam together has been its view of their common enemy, or mission field; that is non-Muslims.  A common enemy has been at times a uniting force among religions of the western world as well.  In peace times they might argue over theological and historical differences, but in the fox hole they find themselves praying and dying together.
           In 1258 Baghdad had a major setback when it was disciplined by invading Mongols from the east.  The city was sacked and the caliphate came to an end.  This horde of invaders were stopped from spreading further west by Syrian troops.  Strangely enough, after a time these invaders embraced Islam.  Baghdad was hit again in 1393 by Tamerlane, another descendant of Chinggis Khan.  He posed a serious problem for the Muslim world until his death in 1405.
          After World War I under pressure from the west the Ottoman title of caliph was abolished by Turkish nationalists causing much consternation and frustration in the world of Islam. There have been efforts in Egypt to reestablish the caliphate with little success.

Muhammad and the Talking Wolf

It has been written that a wolf spoke to a shepherd during the prophet's life near Madinah.  The wolf sat on its tail and addressed the shepherd saying: "Be afraid of Allah, you have taken the provision from me which Allah gave me."  The shepherd was even more amazed when it told him that Muhammad was in Yathrib (Al-Madinah) proclaiming "news of the past".  Sure enough, the shepherd went to town and found Muhammad and told him the story.  Muhammad then had him share it with the people proving he was Allah's man of the hour.   Musnad of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (Vol. 3)

Who are the Occupiers?

The invasion of Israel in the 7th century
While Saudi Arabia forbids non-Muslims in the Hejaz and Haram areas they are quick to take advantage of liberties found in foreign countries.  Whenever these foreigners complain about an invasion the Muslims quickly cry racism or Islamophobia.
In the year 711 Muslims invaded Spain and started building Mosques.
They were finally driven out in 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
In 1453 Muslims invaded Constantinople and converted
the world's largest church into a Mosque.
 
 They invaded India and began building Mosques. 
Part of India became Pakistan, a Muslim country.
Who are the Occupiers!
