In
622 AD, Muhammad and his band of followers who did not have much of any
political power moved to a city called Yathrib [now renamed Medina, which in
Arabic means the city of the prophet]. Yathrib had a thriving Jewish population
who were quite well off. Muhammad moved from his tribe's city of Mecca because
he was not accepted in his role as a prophet or leader. In Medina, he gained
power by multiple methods, some of which changed over time.
Islamic
history is thus dated from the time of the immigration to Medina as it marks
the turning point in Islamic history from being in an oppressed minority
situation to becoming the majority in terms of religious, political, and
military power. This pattern has repeated itself throughout history.
At
present four hijrah, (migration for Allah)[1],
tactics are being used to gain control of certain areas, birth rates,
immigration, and political systems and expulsion of non-Muslims from certain
areas by numerical and sometimes dominance by force—[think of the effect of documented
rape-gangs), in areas of Great Britain.
As
we all know there have been murders in the United States by those who follow
ISIS and wish to abolish our Constitution and replace it with Shariah Law, (regulates public
behavior, private behavior and even private beliefs)[2]. Are we going to allow
this? Or are we the people going to be headed
in that direction?
Our representatives must be held
accountable, (Republican or Democrat), in following the Constitution that our
ancestors fought for, as well as to do the will of the people!
