Islam–Is it a religion, or not?

Short essay by David W. Gray, June 10, 2016

I could write my own extended essay on this topic, but why? There are plenty of resources available on the Internet. All anyone has to do is take the time to do the research with Google.

Knowledge is power, whether it’s the knowledge of God’s word or the Koran, one must be prepared with the truth, and be ready to defend the truth.

Being absorbed in our own personal environment and remaining ignorant to the war that is coming, may result in a willful, early, senseless, slow, excruciating, death. But, we still have time to change this course if the majority of Americans would get their heads out of the sand. If the pastors of America would educate themselves better on the realities of Islam, they may come to know how to be better shepherds.

Below are some resources that dispute that Islam is a true religion. These timely resources have definitely shaped my thoughts about Islam the past few years. It is my honest opinion that Islam is an evil ideology with a facade of religious overtones. Attempting to integrate Islam into United States’ foundational roots will destroy our country. Islam will never accept our U.S. Constitution as our national rule of law.

Here are some resources by Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician and leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom.


Fitna The Movie—Dutch politician Geert Wilders made this short film above about Islam and was put on trial for telling the truth. It seems the Dutch government would rather prosecute one of its own citizens concerned about the islamisation of the Netherlands than tell Muslims to integrate or leave.

Abul Ala Maududi, the influential 20th century Pakistani Islamic thinker, wrote – “Islam is not merely a religious creed [but] a revolutionary ideology and jihad refers to that revolutionary struggle … to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth, which are opposed to the ideology and program of Islam.”

One thing is for sure...

Even Franklin Graham has stated “Islam is not a peaceful religion as George W. Bush told us and as President Barack Obama has said—that is just not true.”
