Questionable Teachings of Islam:

One Billion People Deceived

Members of Islamic Fundamentalism are also encouraged to help the cause of Islam by
aggressive participation in countries where political offices are open to all people. It should
be pointed out, however, that the constitutions of Islamic nations prohibit non-Muslims
from holding political office nor can a non-Muslim join their military.

Another strong focus of the fundamental movement is to form support groups that can
become actively involved, wherever possible, in positions of influence whereby Islam can
gain further inroads. These positions include educational systems, the media,
governmental agencies and also the entertainment industry. As a result, these Islamic
support groups are only doing what other religions and special interest groups are doing
- using the democratic system to advance their cause. Such participation could not be the
case for non-Muslim groups to enjoy in an Islamic nation where Sharia law rules.

CHAPTER SUMMARY:

As you have read, Muslims represent various orders (sects) of belief and many greatly
differ in respect to their specific interpretations about how Islam should be established. It
is the hope of this author that you will continue to read all the topical sections of this
research in order to have an insight into the Islamic ideologies that are now taking
precedence in the current news reports coming in from throughout the world.

History has taken a difficult turn since the morning of September 11, 2001, however, the
undercurrent of the Islamic tide had been escalating for quite some time. Most Americans
never suspected that such magnitude of terrorism could ever be waged against this
country in the manner carried out by the airline hijackers that ended in the tragic death
of nearly three thousand innocent people.

America has been inflicted with the type of terrorism that has plagued Israel for the past
fifty years; not because America supports Israel, but, because America supports freedom
of religion, freedom of speech, and the protections of human rights for all citizens as
guaranteed by the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.
