When Muslims read this, they will disagree, antagonistically reminding us that there are five pillars of Islam but they are not telling the truth. Many Americans are familiar with the Five Pillars; however, no one is talking about the Sixth Pillar of Islam because of political correctness. You have only read about it here!

The Sixth Pillar of Islam is Jihad or holy fighting and this is an obligation for every Muslim on earth! No exceptions. The politicians, pundits, preachers, and professors who deny this are all wrong. Islam is a dangerous, deceptive, and deadly religion. I can easily prove it and eagerly wait rebuttals from anyone.

My Noble Koran was published in Saudi Arabia by the “King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Qur’an, Madinah, K.S.A.” You can’t get any more official than that. A footnote on page 39 explains surah 2:190 where every Muslim on earth gets his marching orders to participate in holy fighting and is clearly commanded that no one but Allah is to be worshipped. That fact has not been published in America to my knowledge.

Read these instructions and you will understand why the terrorists keep coming, many eager to throw away their lives for Allah: “Al-Jihad (holy fighting) in Allah’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars (on which it stands). Allah’s Word is made superior, (His Word being Lailaha illallah which means none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and His Religion (Islam) is propagated.”

It continues: “By abandoning Jihad (may Allah protect us from that) Islam is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.”

The above statements are exactly as published in the Noble Koran and that includes everything in parentheses. Muslim leaders will tell anyone who will listen that Jihad means struggle, and it can mean that. One struggles with anger, hate, lust, etc. But to give only that meaning is a devious action to lead people away from the truth. (Remember that Hitler’s book was titled Mein Kampf or My Struggle, and his struggle resulted in drenching Europe with blood and killing millions of innocent people who were not of the Master Race.)

Muslim theologians make it very clear that Jihad means holy fighting and speaks of “numbers and weaponry” so that no one would be mistaken as to their obligations. It is disingenuous and dishonest for Muslim clerics to dance around this issue: Do they believe the Koran is a divine book to be obeyed by everyone in everyplace at every time? If a Muslim cleric affirms that he does not believe in holy fighting then he does not believe (or obey) the Koran or he is dishonest. Keep in mind that Mohammed gave Muslims permission to lie if the lie supports Jihad, espionage, or to keep peace among the women in his harem.

Every Muslim on earth has the obligation to fight in holy wars in promoting Islam and even to do it with the right attitude! If he does his duty but with some reservations or reluctance, he will die with the qualities of a hypocrite! So, they must fight with gusto or suffer in Paradise. Maybe with fewer virgins!

The above passage makes it very clear that no person on earth has the right to worship anyone but Allah. Now, can you see why Muslims hate the Jews, Christians, and others with a “holy” hatred? Now can you understand why they kill their close relatives who convert to Christ? Now can you understand why they must, absolutely must, seek to make every nation a Muslim nation?

Jihad is the Sixth Pillar of Islam, but you would not know that from what you have read and heard from the media. I am aware that what I have written is unpleasant and some will say it is unkind, but it is not untrue! Doesn’t truth matter anymore? Where are the watchdogs of the media? Have they become lapdogs to political correctness? What happened to news people who told the true even if no one believed it?

We are told that to keep down discrimination we must not deal with some things (but it is all right to denounce, denigrate, and deride Christians). After all, silence is golden in some cases. Yes, but most of the time silence is yellow! The cowardly media, generally are lackeys, liars, leftists, and losers. And when the next terror strike occurs and thousands of innocent people are dead, I will wave this column in the face of craven, lapdog media and demand to know why they refused to follow the dictum: “the public has a right to know” the truth about the evils and danger of Islam.
