Supplemental Notes:

Jihad!
America’s New War

Do not despise Muslims. God loves them; He

died for them, too. But fear the implications
of this occultic religion.

Most Americans—and even most Chris-

tians—have no real awareness of the nature
of Islam: its origin, its agenda and its meth-
ods. We each must understand the realities
and not be blindsided by misleading propa-
ganda.

The Islamic agenda cannot be ignored: they

now believe they have the resources (oil rev-
enues and nuclear weapons) to disconnect
the Middle East from the Judeo-Christian
order of the West.

 Jihad! America’s New War
Tape 1: The Nature of Islam
Caveat
Do not despise Muslims. God loves them; He died
for them, too. But fear the implications of this occultic
religion. The Islamic agenda cannot be ignored: they
now believe they have the resources (oil revenues
and nuclear weapons) to disconnect the Middle East
from the Judeo-Christian order of the West.
Islamic Divisions of the Universe (only two):
Dar Al Islam: the domain of the faithful (to Islam);
Dar Al Harb: those with whom they are at war
until Judgment Day. (Not just the Jews: all non-
Muslims!) Cf. Return of the “Prince of Persia” of
Daniel 10.
Pre-Islamic Arabia
The spiritual ruler of Ur was the Moon-God; ulti-
mately it became the supreme deity of the entire
Babylonian empire. Sin (“The Controller of the
Night”) had the crescent moon as its emblem and
the lunar-based calendar, which then became the
primary religious symbols of Islam.
Sin was worshiped in Arabia as Al-Ilah. Mecca was
the center of all pagan religions of Arabia. Al-Ilah,
the Moon-God, was the “Lord of the Ka’aba” (“cube”),
the center of pagan worship, ruling over 360 idols.
Lucrative trade routes resulted. Bowing and prayer
was toward Mecca; pilgrimage required to Mecca and
Ka’aba, the site of the protective black stone: Al-
Ilah was Lord of the Ka’aba; circled seven times,
kissed, and ran to Wadi Mina to throw stones at the
Devil. Still practiced today. Pagans worshiped to-
ward Mecca because that’s where their idols were
Page 2
located. Worship was widespread: explains rapid ac-
ceptance of Muhammad’s religion. Use of Jinns (ge-
nies, fairies), spells, magic stones, fetishes; animis-
tic beliefs (Suras 55; 72; 113, 114). Biblical injunc-
tions (Deut 4:19; 17:3; Job 31:26-28). Penalties (Deut
17:6; 2 Kgs 23:5).
Islam is previous heathenism in a monotheistic form.
Particular attention should be paid to the pioneer-
ing works of Julius Welhausen, Theordor Noldeke,
Joseph Halevvy, Edward Glaser, William F. Albright,
Frank P. Albright, Richard Bell, J. Arberry, Wendell
Phillips, W. Montgomery Watt, Alfred Guilllaume,
and Arthur Jeffery.1
Archaeological and linguistic work done since the
latter part of the 19th century has discovered over-
whelming evidence that Muhammad constructed his
religion and the Quran from pre-existing material
in Arabian culture.
The Life of Muhammad
Quraysh tribe (Muhammad’s) was previously devoted
to Allah, the moon god. Three daughters, Al-Lat,
Al-Uzza, and Manat: intercessors. Muhammad’s fa-
ther: Abd-Allah. Uncle: Obied-Allah. His mother,
Aminah, involved in the occult.2 Wives: Sura 4:3
forbids more than 4 wives; Muhammad had 16 wives,
2 concubines, 4 others.
The Nature of Islam
A legacy of hate, born of deception, weaned on vio-
lence. “Islam” = “Submission”? Originally the word
meant that strength which characterized a desert
warrior who, even when faced with impossible odds,
would fight to the death for his tribe. 3 Allah =
Al-Ilah; Arabic for “the god.” Pre-Islamic name, cor-
responding to the Babylonian Bel. The Moon-God;
crescent moon.4

Koran/Quran
A warrior code; violence commanded:
Fight and slay the pagans (infidels) wherever ye find
them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in
wait for them in every stratagem of war.
Quran, Sura 9:5
If Islam is resisted?
Their punishment is...execution, or crucifixion, or the
cutting off of hands and feet from the opposite sides,
or exile from the land.
Sura 5:33
Al Tawbah (The Repentance): “Prophet, make war
on unbelievers and hypocrites, and deal rigorously
with them.” Sura 9:73
Al Anfal (The Spoils): “Let not the unbelievers think
they will ever get away. They have not the power to
do so. Muster against them all the men and cavalry
at your command, so that you may strike terror into
the enemy of God and your enemy... Prophet
(Muhammed), rouse the faithful to arms! If they
(the non-Muslims) incline to peace (accept Islam)
make peace with them.” Sura 8:59
Al Maidah (The Table): “If they reject your judge-
ment, know that it is Allah’s wish to scourge them
for their sins.” Sura 5:49
Quran is an amalgam of Hinduism, Buddhism, Mys-
ticism, and Greek mystery religions, as well as ele-
ments from Judaism and Christianity. Order of
writings is confused and contains self-contradictions.
Perfect Arabic? (Claimed in 12:2; 13:37; 41:41,44).
Over 100 aberrations,5 such as 2:177,192; 3:59; 4:162;
5:69; 7:160; 13:28; 20:66; 63:10, etc.
Page 4
Free of error? (Claimed in Sura 85:21,22). Claims to
be consistent with the Bible? Sura 7:51 and 10:3
claim 6 days of creation; Sura 41, 8 days of creation;
Sura 32-48 disagrees with Genesis 7. Numerous er-
rors concerning Abraham: Father’s name was not
Azar (6:74); he did not live in Mecca (14:37); did not
sacrifice Ishmael (37:100-112); had eight sons, not
two; three wives, not two; did not build the Ka’aba
(2:125-127); was not thrown into a fire by Nimrod
(21:68,69; 9:69), etc. Numerous chronological errors.
Flood did not occur in Moses’ day (7:136 vs. 7:59ff).6
[Bible was not even in Arabic in Muhammad’s day:
9th century!]
Any new revelation must agree with what is already
established as God’s Word (Isa 8:20).
Is “Allah” the God of the Old Testament?
Islamic “Allah”: Unknowable, impersonal, capricious
(untrustworthy). Monotheism does not assure wor-
ship of The Living God:
Egypt: Ra, Isis, Osiris;
Chaldeans: Ba-al, Molech;
Greeks: Zeus, Jupiter.
Muhammad was not sinless: Sura 40:55. Never per-
formed a single miracle: Sura 17:91-95. He did not
die for anyone. No personal relationship possible:
he is dead.
A Religion of Love?
Nowhere commanded (Cf. Deut 6:4; Lev 19:18).
Al Maidah (The Table): “Believers (Muslims), take
neither Jews nor Christians to be your friends: they
are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks
Page 5
 their friendship shall become one of their number,
and God does not guide (those Jewish and Chris-
tian) wrong-doers.”
Sura 5:51-5:74
“Say, ‘People of the Book’ (Jews), is it not that you
hate us (Ishmaelite Muslims) only because we be-
lieve in God, and in what has been revealed to oth-
ers, and because most of you (Jews) are evil-doers?”
Sura 5:57
The Real Issue
Every country on the Planet Earth occupies its ge-
ography as a result of a history of conquest. Only
one nation, Israel, has a documented Land Grant
from the Creator Himself: Genesis 15. Reconfirmed
by another oath: Genesis 22:15-18. Confirmed to
Isaac and Jacob: Genesis 26:2-5. Declared immu-
table in the NT: Hebrews 6:13-18.
That is the issue that Satan is attacking through
Islam, and will also through the UN.

Tape 2: What Are We Up Against?
Osama bin Laden: Born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
1957; 4 wives, 15 children; well educated, background
of wealth, destiny of billions voluntarily abandoned;
chooses instead to live in a small cave, with no run-
ning water and rudimentary heating. Why?
Background Factors
• Arab prosperity and identity crisis of the oil boom
of the 1970s.
• Triumph of revolutionary Islam in Iran.
• Rallying cry of the jihad in Afghanistan in the
1980s.
Page 6
Visitors from conservative Islam were usually
shocked by the affluence and promiscuity of the West.
The growing doubts of the intellectuals and the im-
pressionable youth concluded that only an absolute
and unconditional return to the fold of conservative
Islam can protect the Muslim world from the inher-
ent dangers and sins of the West.
Background History
April 1978: Coup in Afghanistan; secular and na-
tionalistic (anti-Communist) Afghan groups seized
power from the leftist regime of Muhammad
Najibullah.
December 1979: Moscow intervened. This shocked
the Islamic world; it was the turning point in Bin
Laden’s life (and many others like him).
Tripartite Support: The U.S. funneled major as-
sistance to three Islamic fundamentalist organiza-
tions in the hopes of defeating the Moscow
intervention; General Mohammad Zia ul-Haq, mili-
tary dictator of Pakistan (having overthrown the
elected prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1977),
exploited the popular appeal to give aid to the exiled
Afghan fundamentalist leaders in Pakistan; Saudi
Arabia (also anti-Communist) provided substantial
support.
This U.S.-Saudi-Pakistan Alliance financed, trained,
and armed the Mujahideen, recruited from among
the three million Afghan refugees in Pakistan;
+20,000 Islamic militants from 20 countries. Coordi-
nated and supervised by the CIA. Support has been
estimated at about $40 billion (U.S. & Saudi Arabia
splitting most of it).
One of the emergent leaders, a promising engineer-
ing graduate from an affluent family of construction
contractors in Jedda, was Osama bin Laden.
Page 7
A Greater Storm Seeded?
February 15, 1989: 115,000 Soviet soldiers finally
retreated from Afghanistan. Washington celebrated...
• Did the founders of U.S. policy in Afghanistan
during the Carter Administration (1977-1981) re-
alize that their zeal in defeating the USSR laid
the foundation for a phenomenon that would
spread through the entire Islamic world and en-
danger the U.S. homeland?
• Did anyone notice the glaring contradiction in U.S.
policy: bolstering Islamic zealots in Afghanistan
while opposing them in neighboring Iran?
Incubation Period
Following the withdrawal of the Soviet troops, the
“Afghan Arabs”—including bin Laden—drifted home-
ward, but with a heightened political perspective that
countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt were just as
much client regimes as the Najibullah regime had
been of Moscow. They became an increasingly vocal
constituency, which had been bonded with their gue-
rilla skills from the Mandrassas (training camps).
A Rebel Exiled
1990: Kuwait Crisis—540,000 non-Muslim U.S.
troops on Saudi Arabian soil angered many, espe-
cially the pious ulema (religious scholars) as a viola-
tion of Shariah law.
March 1991: This discontent was intensified when
the Pentagon failed to carry out full withdrawal from
the Kingdom. Bin Laden’s outspoken differences with
the councils of King Fahd resulted in his being
stripped of his Saudi citizenship and expelled from
the country.
Page 8
The Storm Clouds Gather
December 1991:
• Collapse of the Soviet Union: a second wind to
the Mujahideen movement.
April 1992:
• Mujahideen seized power in Kabul.
1994:
• Rise of the Taliban movement.
September 1996:
• The Taliban captured Kabul.
The Taliban
Taliban stands for “Students of Islam.” Instituted
Shariah (Islamic Law): Punishments for infractions
include imprisonment, beatings, amputations or ex-
ecution. Music, television, smoking, and even West-
ern hairstyles are all illegal. Women have been
barred from school and work and must be accompa-
nied by a man when going out. Teaching religions
other than Islam is punishable by death. The Taliban
reopened the training camps near the Pakistan bor-
der (originally established by the CIA & ISI); gue-
rilla training, fundamentalist indoctrination, volun-
teers from all over the world, including China and
elsewhere.
Tensions Increase
November 1995:
• Bombing at the Saudi National Guard base in
Riyadh, killing five U.S. soldiers attached there.
3 out of the 4 arrested (and executed) were
“Afghanis.”
June 25, 1996:
• Truck bombing outside the Al Khobar complex
near the Dhahran air base; 19 Americans killed,
400 injured.
Page 9
Saudi Arabia a “U.S. Client”?
Bin Laden called for a jihad against the Americans
in Saudi Arabia: “Pushing out this American occu-
pying enemy is the most important duty after the
duty of belief in God.”
Saudi authorities admitted to the presence of 5,000
Americans on Saudi soil (informed estimates put the
figure closer to 20,000). The official explanation: to
enforce the no-fly zone in southern Iraq.
To bin Laden and his people, this seemed contrived
for at least three reasons:
1) Why not limit the stationing of warplanes—and
their support—to Kuwait and Bahrain, the benefi-
ciaries of the actions in the first place, and ex-
clude Saudi Arabia because of its religious
significance to Muslims worldwide?
2) The no-fly zone wasn’t imposed until August 1992,
17 months after the Gulf War.
3) Why couldn’t the carriers of U.S. Fifth Fleet, head-
quartered in Bahrain and permanently in the Per-
sian Gulf, assume the duties?
(The real reason appears to have been a response
to the threats on the House of Saud itself).
The continuing presence of the American forces pro-
vided fuel for the fires of bin Laden and his regulars
to view Saudi Arabia as a “U.S. client” in the same
manner that Afghanistan was the “client of USSR.”
The subsequent increase in tensions between Wash-
ington and Baghdad, and the buildup of a U.S. ar-
mada in the Gulf, resulted in the fatwa of February
23, 1998 (with language similar to that used against
USSR in Afghanistan): “The ruling to kill the Ameri-
cans and their allies—civilians and military—is an
individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in
any country in which it is possible to do it, in order
Page 10
to liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque [in Jerusalem] and
the Holy Mosque [in Mecca] from their grip, and in
order for their armies to move out of all lands of Is-
lam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim.”
Osama bin Laden continues to build theological foun-
dations for escalating the jihad, and his vision is
being circulated in a manuscript for global jihad
against the U.S. in Arabic and South Asian lan-
guages: America and the Third World War. He calls
on the entire Muslim world to rise up against the
existing world order to fight for their right to live as
Muslims. For Islamics there can be no compromise
or coexistence. We are dealing with a theological
conflict, not traditional geopolitical or economic goals.
Al-Qaida Organization
Madrassas (training academies):
Afghanistan: 40,000 jihad devotees
Pakistan: 70,000
Elsewhere: 100,000
210,000
Senior Officers: 3,500
Other commanders: 6,400
Located in 12 centers: North America, Yemen, Saudi
Arabia, Albania, Kosovo, Algeria, Chechenya,
Tadjikistan and all the former Soviet republics of
Central Asia, the Philippines, Egypt, Ethiopia and
Somalia. Recruitment centers exist in 50 countries
.
The Taliban income from the drug trade alone ex-
ceeds $8 billion annually. The Russian Mafia laun-
ders their funds for a commission of 10-15%, which
provides an annual income of $1 billion. No one
really knows how much is involved in the transac-
tions spanning dozens of countries throughout the
entire world.
Page 11
 Global Terrorism: the “Non-Conspiracy Myth” ex-
ploded; it is a Satanic agenda.
Biochemical Terrorism
The technology is more available and less costly than
nuclear. [A room 20-feet square, fermentation-type
equipment, a protein-based culture, a gas mask, and
a plastic overgarment: investment, less than
$20,000.] Sarin, Tabun, Anthrax, Plague and Botu-
lin are readily available agents for terrorist uses.
Symptoms delayed for many days, facilitating safe
escape of perpetrators; contagion spreads through-
out culture; treatments illusive, uncertain; inocula-
tion availability limited; logistics of limited supplies,
triage, and quarantines impossible to resolve. Fa-
cilities virtually impossible to yield to traditional
surveillance techniques
Biological weapons development is underway in Iran,
Iraq, Libya, Syria, North Korea, Taiwan, Israel,
Egypt, India, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, Bulgaria, South
Korea, South Africa, China, and Russia.
Russia has the world’s largest and most aggressive
biological warfare program; Iraq is developing over
a dozen different pathogens, including genetically
altered microorganisms—Anthrax and others in pro-
duction (2 warheads/wk). North Korea offers 13 kinds
of bacteria produced by 9 plants for export.
Crop Dusters Grounded: Employees of a Florida
fertilizer company said a group of Middle Eastern
men repeatedly asked about crop-duster planes in
the months leading up to the terrorist attacks. An
employee identified one of the men as Mohamed Atta,
believed to be one of the suicide hijackers in the
terrorist attacks.
Page 12
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Technology
Compton Effect: Arthur H. Compton, 1925; firing a
stream of high-energy photons into atoms with a
low atomic number results in ejection of electrons.
During the Pacific H-Bomb bomb tests, 1958: Bursts
of gamma rays, striking oxygen and nitrogen in at-
mosphere, released a hurricane of electrons for 100s
of miles; Street lights blown out in Hawaii; naviga-
tion disrupted for 18 hours in Australia.
EMP Technology can render an large area totally
void of electronics and communications capabilities;
Highly classified developments; high-temp supercon-
ductor applications, etc. However, Flux Compression
Generators may prove to be a homemade, low-cost
alternative. A propagating short circuit compresses
a magnetic field, reducing the inductance of a coil,
producing a rapidly ramping current pulse: ramp
time in microseconds; peak current in tens of mil-
lions of amps.
Delay-time EMP effects (localized surges) would dis-
able power and telecommunications networks. Could
be built for less than $1,000 and return the elec-
tronic technology of a metropolitan area or command
post to that of a century ago.
Nuclear Capabilities
Over 27 countries are developing advanced ballistic
missiles; over 66 countries have the technology for
surface-skimming cruise missiles. Substantial war-
head traffic on the black market for over 10 years
(84 of 132 suitcase nukes missing).
Nuclear Capable: U.S., Russia, France, Germany;
Great Britain, Israel, China, India, Pakistan, South
Africa, Iran, Argentina, Brazil, North Korea, Libya,
Iraq.
