Although the majority of Muslims are peaceful, law-abiding citizens who do not wish to fight or declare Jihad on their neighbors, such moderates are irrelevant in regard to Creeping Shariah. Most Germans were moderate as well. Their moderation did not stop the Nazis from killing 14 million people in concentration camps and costing the world 60 million lives. Most Russians were peaceful as well. However, Russian Communists cost the world 20 Million lives. Most Japanese are moderate. However Japan was responsible for killing 12 Million Chinese in WWII. The moderate silent majority unfortunately is irrelevant.

In order to understand the different types of Jihad being waged today in America and elsewhere, it is important to understand two principles of Shariah Law: Taqiyya and Da’Wa.
Taqiyya is the Islamic practice of “concealing or disguising one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of eminent danger, whether now or later in time to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury”. Taqiyya is also used for justification for lies and deceit to advance the cause of Islam.

Da’wa is the act of inviting non-Muslims to accept the truth of Islam. Performing Da’wa involved both words and actions, and is frequently practiced in public schools in America and elsewhere. Non-Muslim parents are invited to meetings in the homes of Shariah faithful parents or teachers to learn about Shariah-Islam as a docile religion. Conversion, as is happening in our American prisons and in our inner cities is the ultimate goal on the part of those initiating Da’wa.

The act of Da'wa includes reaching out to new Somalian-American immigrants and offering help with housing, schooling and acclimation in exchange for allegiance to Shariah-Islam and a commitment to agitate for Creeping Shariah in America.
Another key to understanding the how embedded Jihad is in the political movement of Shariah-Islam is the concept of Dar Al Islam (House of Islam) versus Dar Al Harb (House of War). Dar Al Harb or “House of War” means any territory not conquered, dominated and subjugated by Shariah-Islam and its practices. Jihad is necessary to overpower the Dar Al Harb (House of War) and convert the world to the Dar Al Islam (House of Islam).
Here are the different types of Jihad being waged against America and the rest of the world today:
Violent Jihad: Sept 11th. Mass murder of 3000+ Americans.
Cultural or Stealth Jihad: Quiet insinuation into the targeted country.Academic Jihad: Saudi endowment of world-class universities like Harvard and Oxford Universities. Funding of Middle Easter Studies departments and professors who paint the history of Shariah-Islam with a rosy brush, ignoring countless human rights violations. The worldwide network of the Saudi-funded Muslim Student Association who agitates on campuses for Muslim rights, while forcing out more moderate Muslim groups on campus. K-12 curriculums that exaggerate the contributions of Shariah-Islam throughout history and omit discussion of the oppressive treatment of women and girls, general lack of human rights, and treatment of “infidels”. Demands for publicly funded Islamic Charter schools being met. Saudi-funded Islamic schools remaining open, despite evidence of “hate curriculum”. Publicly funded Islamic schools violating the separation of church and state by teaching children religious doctrine as part of the curriculum.
Lawfare Jihad: Attempts to place Shariah-Islam above the law and to bully non-Muslims into acquiescing to their ever-increasing demands. Example: The Shariah Organization CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations) brought a lawsuit against US Airways and John Doe citizens for removing “flying imams” from flight, accusing defendants of defamation and discrimination. John Doe citizens became anxious about Imams when they exhibited threatening behavior:
Freedom of Speech Jihad: Shouts of “islamophobia” and “discrimination” by Shariah Faithful groups intimidate Americans and others, effectively shutting investigation into the true nature of Shariah-Islam. Example: Random House stopped the presses on the book The Jewel of Medina by Sherry Jones after accusations of “islamophobia” and perceived threats to the safety of Random House employees. The Jewel of Medina is a novel about the Prophet Muhammad and his child bride Aisha, whom he married at age six, consummating the marriage at age nine. This book has not been printed in Europe either for the same reasons.
Financial Jihad: Banks like Citibank and HSBC have agreed to manage pockets of Middle East oil wealth and sell “Shariah investments” into Europe and America without full disclosure of the connection between Shariah investments and Shariah: the Jihadi backgrounds of Shariah Financial “advisors” which they hire onto their boards; when, how and to whom certain profits are sent to Shariah-Islamic charities; and that under Shariah Law, charitable contributions include the feeding and clothing of Allah’s soldiers.
The Jihad being waged against Muslim countries like Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan, Nigeria is primarily violent Jihad, or Jihad of the sword. This is because moderate Muslims and non-Muslims living in Asia, and the Middle East understand the existential threat of Shariah-Islam and cultural attempts to convert them to Shariah-Islam don’t work.
However, the Jihad being waged against Western countries is very different. This is the Jihad of gentle invitation and persuasion. Appeals to multiculturalism. Financial contributions to our social, academic and political structures. This kind of Jihad is very successful in countries which deeply value Freedom of Religion and civil liberties, pride themselves on accepting new cultures, and don’t understand the power of faith and hate combined. These targeted countries refuse to make the distinction between a religion which provides a way to connect with some higher power and a totalitarian political movement which combines faith, hate, political aspirations, oppressive control of its own people and human rights abuses.
Jihad: An Historical Perspective
For nearly 1400 years, from 400 – 1877, Shariah-Islam succeeded in conquering nearly 25% of the world from Africa to Rome to Persia to Egypt. During this time, Shariah Faithful Muslims killed 270 million Christians, 120 million Africans, 80 million Hindus, and 10 million Buddhists. How did they accomplish this? Violent Jihad.
The defeat of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s Iranian regime in 1979 by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeni reignited the Radical Islamist or Shariah Faithful’s dream of uniting Muslims around the world and establishing a caliphate that would dominate world governments with Islamic political and theological ideology. Shariah Militants consider Jihad the sixth pillar of their faith.
Since September 11, 2001, there have been more than ten thousand terrorist attacks worldwide carried out by men and women who believe that dying for their religious beliefs is more important than life itself.
The strength of today’s Shariah-Islam is much greater than that of the Middle Ages due to the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1920’s and the billions of dollars of Middle East oil money fueling this cause since the 1970’s. The Muslim Brotherhood not only provides focus and leadership, it created a written 14-point strategic plan called The Project which sparked the creation of a network of Shariah organizations each committed to a different kind of Jihad. Here’s just one of the 14 strategic tactics outlined in The Project which justifies in another way the different types of Jihad being waged:
Inflaming violence and keeping Muslims living in the West in a Jihad frame of mind.
