Sejarah situs Jihad dibawa oleh panel kontributor. Situs ini dikoordinir oleh Robin MacArthur dengan Mahomet Mostapha dan Naim al Khoury, New Jersey. Kontributor lainnya ke situs ini termasuk profesor dan anggota fakultas dari Universitas Stanford dan Michigan (Ann Arbor), Kansas State University, Ohio State University, dan London School of Economics. Kami sangat menyarankan agar situs ini direkomendasikan sebagai bacaan tambahan bagi mahasiswa Sejarah Islam. Sejarah jihad adalah melawan segala bentuk fanatisme agama dan non-religius. Namun daya tarik emosional fanatisme non-religius seperti Nazisme, Fasisme atau Komunisme tidak begitu luas seperti fanatisme agama. Ketika fanatisme dan agama bercampur, kita memiliki minuman yang sangat ampuh dan berbahaya yang dapat bertahan selama berabad-abad tidak seperti fanatisme non-religius seperti Nazisme dan Komunisme yang mati saat para pemimpinnya dikalahkan. Sementara semua bentuk fanatisme religius negatif, Islam adalah bahaya paling ganas dan paling mendesak yang kita hadapi saat ini. Situs ini dedikasi untuk mengekspos bahaya Islam. Kami mendukung orang lain melakukan upaya serupa melawan agama lain yang memiliki ancaman lebih kecil.

Tanpa disengaja, dibutuhkan proofreading menyeluruh dan pengeditan lebih lanjut saat ini. Saya berharap ini akan segera dibersihkan karena saya mungkin akan sering merujuk artikel penting ini ke masa depan. Nama: Pat Tanggal: Sabtu, 07 Juli 2007 Waktu: 09:37:11 -0700 Terima kasih atas pelajaran sejarahnya. Saya tidak mengerti mengapa kita di Barat diajarkan bahwa Islam yang dipraktikkan oleh orang Asia tidak seberat Islam Arab, sehingga mereka tidak menginginkan syariah total, dan sebagainya. Muslim mengecam periode ketika Timur Tengah diperintah oleh kekuatan kolonial setelah Jatuhnya Kekaisaran Ottoman, tapi yang imperialis tuliskan besar. Saya setuju bahwa artikel itu perlu diedit, karena tampaknya memiliki banyak duplikasi. Nama: Kuffar Malaysia Tanggal: Sabtu, 14 Juli 2007 Waktu: 11:55:55 -0700 Ada banyak sekali warganegara antara orang Burma, Thailand, para buddhis Canbodian. Saya melihat bahwa Muslim Melayu mencoba memanfaatkan agama Buddha ini terutama orang Kamboja ke Islam. Perhatikan bahwa malayisia membangun masjid di Kamboja dan mencoba menghasut khmer etnik untuk membenci orang Cina, amp thais. Nama: Non Half Caste Malaysian Tanggal: Sabtu 11 Agustus 2007 Waktu: 06:37:32 -0700 Hari ini Malaysia dikatakan terdiri dari hampir 65 orang Melayu. Secara etnik, orang Melayu hanya membentuk sekitar 7 dari populasi. Sisanya adalah yang pertama, generasi kedua dan mungkin generasi ketiga dan generasi imigran dari pulau-pulau terdekat hari ini Indonesia Vietnam Cambodia Thailand Burma dll. Orang-orang jahat di antara mereka yang mengaku sebagai orang Melayu tapi yang terlihat lebih hitam dari pada warga Afrika adalah the Half Castes three Kasta kuartal dan mungkin 6 atau 7 kali kasta campuran - yang berada di luar kemampuan mereka dalam membangun keresahan dan usaha kesadaran inferior dengan segala cara untuk berpegang teguh pada kekuasaan politik dengan mengklaim kapal Malay. A 39Malay39 untuk kenyamanan kasta setengah ini didefinisikan sebagai orang yang mempraktikkan Agama Muslim dan berbicara dalam bahasa Melayu. Bagaimana ios itu untuk mengidentifikasi Ras etnik. Banyak yang memegang jabatan politik elit adalah Pemain Setengah Kasta yang berasal dari orang Tamil Tamil Gujeratis orang Arab Yaman, orang Cina Tionghoa, dan beberapa bahkan terlihat seperti orang tua 39Mama Tonkang39 atau kapal chandlers dan orang-orang yang membawa perahu kecil yang membawa muatan dari kapal besar yang berlabuh di Pertengahan laut ke pantai dan sebaliknya paricularly di Pulau Penang dan pinggirannya. Ini adalah setengah kasta yang sebagian besar menggunakan agama sebagai satu-satunya senjata untuk berpegang teguh pada etnis Melayu dalam usaha mereka untuk berpegang pada kekuatan politik. Perbedaan ekonomi dan keuangan antara politisi setengah kasta teratas dan pekerja turun Malaysia dan lainnya adalah perbedaan terbesar di semua ASEAN secara keseluruhan. Pada waktunya, kasta setengah akan menemukan bahwa Bendera dan Balapan bukan milik mereka. Sejarah selalu berulang. Seperti yang Anda katakan sebelumnya, orang-orang Mongol mendatangkan malapetaka dan memakan musuh mereka untuk membalas dendam atas apa yang telah dilakukan orang Arab terhadap mereka berabad-abad sebelumnya. Hati-hati dengan murka yang tertindas. Marie Antoinette sayangnya tidak ada yang menceritakan hal ini kepada Half-Castes yang berkuasa di Malaysia hari ini.

Mereka membunuh wanita hamil, membantai anak-anak dan membunuh bayi di buaian yang merupakan keturunan sultan untuk memotong garis keturunan.

Soal islam ekstremis, uhm saya tidak berpikir ada islam yang ekstrim, orang-orang yang membuat islam terlihat ekstrem. Sama seperti Anda, Anda membuat beberapa orang lain, dan saya kira kebanyakan muslim melihat Anda dan agamamu juga ekstrem. Dan mohon lihat informasi yang benar dari negara-negara tersebut.

Sekarang mereka jauh lebih anarkis daripada orang-orang 40 tahun yang lalu atau lebih. Saya pikir itu disebabkan oleh ajaran Islam. Setelah Black September di Jerman pada tahun 1972, dan banyak ocassions setelahnya, orang mulai lebih tidak toleran terhadap kepercayaan lainnya.

Para penguasa kemudian mengajukan diri untuk mengirimkan agama hari ini dari pedagang rute sutra dan rute maritim pada waktu itu di awal abad 20 para misionaris pergi dan mengganti gerobak apel. Konversi ilegal ini oleh propaganda fale agama tanah telah menciptakan ketidakharmonisan. Sekarang media hanya menggambarkan sisi dari cerita yang media barat selalu terkenal. Dan setelah tahun 1948, Mei ada lebih banyak peperangan yang pernah terjadi. Anda tahu bagaimana Filipina terbentuk. Dont tell me Anda tidak tahu itu. Izinkan saya memberi tahu Anda Raja Philip Membunuh semua orang Moros, yang tidak akan beralih ke agamanya setelah dia menduduki wilayah (sekitar abad ke-16). Sisa-sisa dari mereka masih memperjuangkan kebebasan di selatan disebut teroris beberapa pejuang kemerdekaan masih dilupakan. Kini penjahat dan kapal tunda ikut bergabung dalam partai tersebut. Agama apa yang dimiliki oleh Kaisar Asoka, orang Brute dari Indo Land sebelum dia beralih ke Buddhisme. Dia adalah seorang Hindu dan apakah dia melakukan pembunuhan setelah dia memeluk iman baru tersebut. TIDAK, dia orang yang baik setelah pertobatannya. Siapa Alqidas Musuh Terbesar. Israel. Israel. Israel. Israel. Israel. Israel. Israel. Israel. Israel. Kemampuan besar Israels dalam memanipulasi media dan opini publik tidak bisa diremehkan. Serangan propaganda sangat berhasil dan dibiayai oleh para pembayar pajak AS, Maka kita cenderung bertanya-tanya apa yang sedang dilakukan tentara AS di Irak dan Afghanistan. Ayo Mereka hanya ingin kalian menggambarkan bahwa umat Islam adalah orang-orang yang sangat buruk. Jadi orang-orang Israel bisa menempati lebih banyak daratan dari pemalsuan zaitun Palastinian yang bodoh, sementara dunia menjadi buta, Israel membanggakan sebuah negara besar namun dunia mengabaikan semua kekejaman yang dilakukannya. Sangat buruk. Dunia. Sangat sangat buruk. Oooh saya tidak bisa tidur saya harus membunuh muslim berikutnya saya lihat segera setelah saya bangun. Karena saya berpikir bahwa kaum muslim sangat buruk. Sangat sangat buruk. Sangat sangat buruk. Apa alasan Hitler membunuh orang Yahudi. . Itu karena, Zionis menempatkan Yesus di kayu salib. Sebagai pemimpin dia diberi wewenang untuk melakukan itu atas nama imannya, saya tidak berpikir begitu Israel. Saat ini apa yang Georgy Bushi lakukan untuk orang Afghanistan dan Irak Apakah hanya untuk mengajar pelajaran Iran sejak Mosad disarankan Bushy bahwa Iran menendang CIA di kedutaan besar AS di Iran Siapa yang tidak ingin pendapatan minyak untuk pergi ke orang orang. Orang-orang miskin Sekarang orang-orang Iran menderita Karena Sanksi .. maka AS ingin agar senjata dibeli dari perusahaan Israel pada saat itu. Jadi akhirnya bagaimana perusahaan-perusahaan ini mendapatkan keuntungan besar. EAASyy Mereka meminta orang-orang Saudi untuk membayarnya dan membuat orang-orang Irak berjuang di awal tahun 80-an rencana bagus rencana yang bagus. Jadi Mosad mengulanginya sekali lagi sekarang. Dalam pelajaran Alkitab disebutkan bahwa Yesus akan berada di sini untuk kedatangannya yang kedua untuk membunuh Nabi palsu yang kita anggap antikristus. Saya berharap Im hidup untuk menyaksikan Yesus menendang pantat Antikristus. NOO NOO Yesus akan membunuh antonristus bugger dengan ilhamnya tidak dengan Bom dan Nuklir yang menawar menendang ASS ohh. Jadi Muhammad adalah dia anti Kristus. Ayo onnn. . Yesus masih belum bangkit dari tempat tidurnya di langit. Muhammad meninggal 1500 thn lalu siapa sih yang anti Kristus. Ayo datang hei adalah pemuja Iblis OOoooh adalah KKK juga peminat setan. Ya ya mereka toooo itu. Jadi sebaiknya kita menghindari godaan setan untuk membunuh orang yang tidak bersalah. Ya, ya, ya, saya membiarkannya melakukannya seperti yang telah kita lakukan. Kita harus bertobat bertobat. bertobat. Saya bilang bertobat. bertobat. Ok Ok Ok ..

Ok ok ok tenang sekarang..Harap jangan orang Iran akan melakukannya atas nama kita apa yang mereka katakan di media kamu nggak ikut terlibat. Kalau begitu, jika orang Muslim tidak menunjukkan orang Portugis pergi ke India melalui Afrika Selatan, dunia pasti lebih baik dari pada yang benar. Dengan demikian, para pedagang pada saat itu berada dalam bisnis mereka tidak memiliki niat untuk menyerang dan mencuri seperti yang dilakukan Israel sekarang di Benua Afrika dengan cara yang sangat profesional dengan menanamkan boneka dan tirani dan membiarkan orang-orang kelaparan dan juga membuat beberapa orang berkelahi Dan membunuh satu sama lainLihat pada Robert Mugarbey tusukan, instaleed oleh Zions sekarang mereka tidak bisa mengeluarkannya .. zion masih menguntungkan .. Tapi orang Cina juga ada di AfrikaYa mereka keberatan ada bisnis sendiri dan TIDAK mencoba juga untuk mengendalikan Dunia bagaimana dengan India di Afrika. Jika India berada di Afrika, Cina harus berpikir dua kali. Kemudian bagaimana dengan Pakstan. Lupakan saja Pakis yang disekrup oleh Musharaf dengan gaya China, India dan Pakistan membutuhkan semua bantuan profesional dari Israel sehingga dunia akan menjadi cukup. Dunia ini bukanlah Duouddde yang Cukup. Kemudian, kemudian. Siapa yang mendukung Saddam Hussein si tiran, dan mempersenjatai dia dengan senjata kimia dan akhirnya digantung karena alasan yang tidak diungkapkan kepada pendukungnya. Maka sebaiknya kita menyelidiki dan mengadili pendukung asing almarhum Saddam ini. Ladies and gentleman tidak ada Alqaida maka hanya ada Alqada setelah tahun 1990an ketika Komunisme ambruk di Uni Soviet Jadi siapa musuh berikutnya. Ini MOHAMMUD. ISLAM. Ok ok ok saya akan melakukan perang dengan dia Dan ISLAM Menjalani kehidupan di Uni Soviet gimana gimana caranya berkelahi seperti sekarang di Jalan Sutera saat itu sebelum abad ke-16 dalam skala besar seperti NO NO NO NO Anda membuat saya marah TIDAK ADA TIDAK ADA yang berkelahi seperti itu. Kalau begitu tolong beritahu saya .. Siapa yang membunuh Suku Amerika Utara atas nama Lord Wasnt me. Lalu apakah itu Mohammad. Katakanlah kepada mereka bahwa dia adalah dunia yang menyenangkan hati tolong itu adalah Mohammad (pendusta berdarah.) Siapa yang membunuh Suku Tribies dan mencuri di sana Anak-anak atas nama Kristus OOHH Im malu. Tapi bukankah saya pikir itu adalah Hitler --- salah gtgtgtgtgtgtgtgt. Anda tidak mengerti. Anda hanya membuat saya kesal lagi dan keluar dari konteks Turki adalah satu-satunya penghalang bagi orang Eropa mengapa mereka tidak bisa membiarkan orang Turki bergabung dengan UE. Bahkan orang Kroasia pun tidak percaya bahwa mereka kalah dan menderita di sepakbola Euro 2008. Salam HitlerHail Hitler Hail Hitler Hail Georgy Bushyy memanggil Zionis.

Mereka yang suka berbicara tentang topik ini biasanya ingat penaklukan Persia, Asia Tengah dan Spanyol. Saya tidak menyangkal fakta bahwa perang memang terjadi dalam sejarah Islam namun pernyataan tentang sejarah berdarah Islam adalah, katakanlah. Berlebihan. Masih lebih lucu lagi kalau kita mendengarnya dari mereka yang sejarahnya sendiri benar-benar merupakan sejarah pembunuhan ampuh yang terus-menerus. Ini cukup cukup untuk menyebutkan perang agama di abad ke-16, perang yang tak terhitung jumlahnya pada abad ke-18 abad ke-19 dan dua perang dunia. Dapatkah Anda mengingat satu periode damai dalam sejarah Eropa. Kecuali beberapa dekade terakhir, tentu saja Beberapa orang seperti Robert Spencer yang terkenal membenarkan Perang Salib dan secara serius cenderung mencirikan mereka sebagai perang defensif melawan gerilyawan Muslim. Saya bertanya-tanya apakah mereka menganggap perang agama di Eropa sebagai defensif Apakah Muslim yang memusnahkan penduduk asli Amerika Utara dan Australia Membakar orang-orang Yahudi di kamar gas Anda harus berpikir dengan otak Anda sendiri dan bukannya menceritakan kembali tulisan-tulisan yang meragukan.

Non of the items are logic with the real history. We muslims never have vendetta to any religion unless we are suppressed. Nabi Muhammad (s. a.w) was the last prophet and he shine the world with wisdom and prophecy from Allah. Name: wen Date: Wednesday January 21, 2009 Time: 14:28:28 -0500 First of all, let me comment about Siam, it was a powerful kingdom then, and the Malay sultans feared them, and paid tribute to them every year. Once or twice they did uprise against the Siamese Kingdom, but they were always defeated. When the Malay sultans had diplomatic ties and was protected by China, only then the Siamese Kingdom lost its power and control over the Malay kingdom. Siam was never ruled by any foreign country till this day. I may hate the fanatical Muslims, that gives peace loving Muslims (in this modern time) a bad name. Well, what I realised about history is that people do remember what atrocities done to their families and forefathers in the past, like the Jews and Christians in the Middle East and actually Muslims too (remembering how they became Muslims that is). Wars that happen in Bosnia (Serbs), wars happening in Ethiopia, and their fights with Somalia Islamic Courts Union (ICU) and many like them, faced war with the Muslims in the past, many of their people was tortured and killed by the Muslims. We should not forget what happen to Indonesia, how many Chinese and Christians was murdered and raped there, by the fanatical Muslims. Remember how Islam was spread in the Middle east, it was by force. And yet many of them can deny this. Even in their excuse in trying to destroy Israel and to possess that land, this fools will justify themselves in anything, like the Jew possessing Canaan Land, if they can do it so can we, Israel is under Gods Judgement and is rejected by God, so we have the right to take that land, to drive them into the sea and to wipe them of the map. These fanatics forget that the merciful and forgiving God said He will remember Israel, and save them through Jesus, and make them His people once again. Well the Jews had the Red Sea parted for them, millions could see the pillar of fire (even the their enemies could witness this). The Jew through Moses, had God39s approval in possessing Canaan Land, and those signs were the few examples to prove it. But greater still, God was fighting for them, (even the Muslims knows this). Israel did not fight for God. God don39t need men to fight for Him. The Jews were out numbered by the 33 kingdoms in the Canaan Land. Who fell the wall of Jerico, was it not God Who approved the Muslim to possess land which was not theirs, if God, what prove do they have Don39t forget God is a GREAT GOD, and he used this small nation, Israel to prove it. But in the time of Jesus, was there war Jesus (Isa, Eashoa) the highest prophet of God (every thing from the past and future in the scriptures evolve around this man of God). Jesus never made war with anyone, he could, but he did not, it was not God39s purpose. His war was only against Satan never with men. In God39s teachings through Jesus, he never told anyone to go and possess lands by force, kill, kill and kill He always reminded the people, their inheritance is Heaven, and earth was a temporal place for the believers. It was said, Muhammad too believed in Jesus and his teachings. If So, then what was Muhammad preaching Is God so fickle As for Israel, they are now fighting for peace and for their land and to defend it. If they where out to kill woman, children and the innocent as what the Muslims says, than this war won39t be this long in the Middle East (Palestine). If they treated the Muslims as how the Muslim had treated them in the past, that I would say no Muslims will be left standing. Well, this is war, the Palestine people chose Hamas, just as the same as Lebanon choosing the Hasibullahs, both are the enemies of Israel which then makes the people of Palestinian and Lebanese, Israel39s enemy too. Are the Muslims trying to tell us they are innocent from killing woman and children in the past In Iran, they even kill their own, innocent Muslims sisters and brothers there. Look at the Muslim Kurds and how they are treated by their so called Muslim brothers. Was the Iraqi people happy under Saddams rule Was the people of Afghanistan happy with the Taliban rule Why didn39t the Muslim help them Most of these Islamic countries hate and fear to be under such laws of the Taliban (I am not sure whether they followed the Hudud, Qisas, Diyya and Tazir Law). Worse the Muslim fanatics were fighting against these people39s freedom, just because America was involved. Most Iranian are not even happy with their country39s Islamic government. So in my conclusion, hate and blindness rules the heart of these Muslim fanatics in this world in every country, This hate is even greater than the concerns for their fellow Muslims, suffering in Somalia, those who suffered in the hands of Saddam, the murdering of Kurds, Kuwait at war with Iraq in the past In Iran, the execution of the innocent (example, the 16 year old raped victim that was hung) and etc. Why I said hate well look at the reactions of the Muslims in this world, when America or Israel are involved. Doesn39t this shows only hate drives them. If Egypt was at war with Palestine today instead of Israel, I wonder what will be the reaction of the Muslims in this world today Men do not have the capabilities nor the power to stop what is happening or going to happen on this planet earth. our only hope is God.

Name: Wen Date: Wednesday January 21, 2009 Time: 14:46:48 -0500 I am sorry for the repeat in my text submission. Name: wakafbharu Date: Sunday February 01, 2009 Time: 03:41:59 -0500 this page i think was not make by people who really know about islam, he just write on what is hate about islam. if u are muslim can we meet one day to debate from historian side and also religious one. islam never force other people to submit or profess to their religion, if not indian. steppe in russian today becomes islamic world. Then you said in spain, why are there still exist christian if muslim had made them accept islam by sword, and in afrika why still existed christian kingdom in ethiopia. it is because islam never made others to accept it religion by violent, war and so on. But if you talk about christian. history hav proof that how the philipines which in the old days are malays islamic sultanate become christian country, and how there hav torture muslim to profess their christian religion when they conquer malacca, and north african country. When talk about jihad, only non-muslim like u just understand from narrow view. Jihad existed in our daily life as we works, we doing business and so on. the most important jihad against our evil side, this is what mean by jihad but when we had being threathen by enemy which can cause our life and family. jihad only permissible only to defend ourselves. If you had differ ideas, maybe you cannot called yourself as muslim or ex-muslim. Where did u learn your religious. i wanna to know cause maybe u just a pretender. who lose in battle of soul. satanic always takes part on your side when you learn without master. Name: Wen Date: Monday February 09, 2009 Time: 14:37:15 -0500 Know your history Know the different between Christian, Catholic and Jewdasium, many Muslims do not know the difference. What was the Spanish and Portuguese interest when they were out conquering lands. Most conquerors are driven by fame, wealth, (spices, silk, gold etc.), and government expansion. Who was following them, missionaries. Example St. Francis Xavier, who was never mention being a cruel man in the Malaya history (people do not forget cruelty). The Portuguese and Spanish did hate the Muslim, because of what the Muslims did to them. The Muslim had attacked and invaded their countries. When the Portuguese came to Melacca they did not shoot first, it was the Sultan who attack the Portuguese, instigated by the Indian Muslims. If the Malays was force into Catholicism by the west (Portuguese, Dutch or English) Malaysia today, would be a Catholic country. Isn39t that what happened to the Philippines (as what was said by the Muslims). The Spanish interest in the Philippine, was the trading with China, (this was the same interest the Muslim traders had earlier) only than, the missionaries came in (they knew what would happen to the natives by the Spanish army and government who were more interested in world domination and trading). The missionaries did not come to fight or to make war. Till these days whether Christian or Catholic they came to help, countries or people that are in need, (missionaries did not only bring religion, but also medical and technology), thats how the Red Cross and World Aid came into being (I do not think they are influenced by religion, in this present time). Example, in India Mother Teresa was from the missionary, did she force or threaten to kill anyone into becoming a Catholic. Yes, the Spanish may have been cruel to some, but they didn39t care weather the people were Christians, Catholic or Muslims. Example, South America, these people were not Muslims, but they too were treated badly. The Muslim in the south ( Moros) declared a jihad, or holy war, raiding Catholic coastal communities (who were Philippinoes also) and stubbornly defending their territory against every outside authority. The Moros have been a persistent problem since that time, struggling for independence against every government ruling the Philippines, including the present-day one, who are Philippinoes. I can not deny about the Crusaders, who were they Crusades fought mainly against Muslims, Jews, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Old Prussians, and political enemies of the popes and etc. They were Catholics. Catholics and Christians did not see eye to eye when it came to religion till this very day. In the past in Europe the Christians were even tortured, and burned alive to renounce their faith and to repent by going back to Catholicism or to convert to Catholicism, many were killed. Yes, they may have done the same to the Muslims and Jews too. But the Christians were at the very home base of their captors, which gave their captors more time and gruesome ways to torture them. A Christian can not force another to be a Christian, because this is not in the teachings of God. Christians are allowed to share the great teachings of Christ Jesus, and what God did for us. God gave us a will to choose. In the Christian faith only God can save, salvation comes from God and not from man. God will reveal and prove Himself to those whom He has chosen. And Whom or what man chooses, good or bad, he will bare for it later. If a Christian forces or even torture another to be a Christian, and if the victim say yes, well we all know that yes will not be from his heart, so what good is it God want a heart that is willingly and thoroughly for Him and not by force. And if a Christian forces like so, it will be sinful in God39s eye. So a true Christian will never do such a thing. Muslims recognise two kinds of struggle: higher jihad, the struggle with oneself, to make one a better Muslim, and lower jihad, the struggle with the world, to bring about worldwide Islam. Obviously the Islamists or the fanatics concentrate on lower jihad, where all other Muslims concentrate on higher jihad, which we call friends. Unfortunately, what we witness in Muslim history is the practice for the lower jihad than the higher jihad. For example, Sura (chapter) 9, verse 5 of the Quran says: fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them (infidels, kafirs). For your information, to the Muslims, innocent people are the Muslims. As far as non-Muslims are concerned, they have not accepted Islam, and as far as they are concerned, that is a crime against Allah. So, when you hear news of bombings, and hear them saying, they are against the innocent being killed, know who and what they really saying and meant. The violent Muslims can point to the many violent parts of the Quran and the Traditions, and, of course, to the example of Muhammad, to show that what they are doing is right. The fact is that the Muslim39s prophet Muhammad was most decidedly not a man of peace: according to the earliest biography of Muhammad (written by ibn Ishaq, a Muslim), he was personally engaged in 26 or 27 battles. It is known that most Muslims are in denial of what is happening. First, they themselves do not know what they read in the Quran. Second they ague about its meaning, even the meaning of Jihad. Third the Muslims believes that Islam is a religion of Peace and Muhammad was the most just and peaceful prophet ever to walk this earth. They believe he brought humanity and justice to the corrupt people of this world (probably by killing them). Fourth, go back to the first. Here are few great examples of peace, humanity and justice in the Quran Sura 9: 5 Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find themquot, Surah 9:123 quotOh ye who believe Murder those of the disbelievers and let them find harshness in youquot. 9:5 quotSlay the idolaters wherever you find themquot. 8:12 quotI will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips offquot. 9:29quotFight those who do not believe in God and the last day. and fight People of the Book (Christians and Jews), who do not accept the religion of truth (Islam) until they pay tribute by hand, being inferiorquot. 47:4 quotWhen you meet the unbelievers, strike off their heads then when you have made wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captivesquot. 8:60 quotAgainst them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemiesquot. Q.5: 34 quotRetribution of those, who wage war against Allah and his messenger and strive to create disorder in the land, is that they be slain or crucified or their hands and feet be cut off on account of their enmity, or they be expelled from the land. That shall be a disgrace for them in this world, and in the Hereafter they shall have a great punishment. quot. Jihad in the sense of territorial expansion has always been a central aspect of Muslim life. That39s how Muslims came to rule much of the Arabian Peninsula by the time of the Muhammad39s death in 632. It39s how, a century later, Muslims had conquered a region from Afghanistan to Spain. Subsequently, jihad spurred and justified Muslim conquests of such territories as India, Sudan, Anatolia, and the Balkans. Today, jihad is the world39s foremost source of terrorism, inspiring a worldwide campaign of violence by self-proclaimed jihadist groups: The International Islamic Front for the Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders: Osama bin Laden39s organization Laskar Jihad: responsible for the murder of more than 10,000 Christians in Indonesia Harakat ul-Jihad-i-Islami: a leading cause of violence in Kashmir Palestinian Islamic Jihad: the most vicious anti-Israel terrorist group of them all Egyptian Islamic Jihad: killed Anwar El-Sadat in 1981, many others since, and Yemeni Islamic Jihad: killed three American missionaries. But jihad39s most ghastly present reality is in Sudan, where until recently the ruling party bore the slogan quotJihad, Victory and Martyrdom. quot For two decades, under government backing, jihadists there have physically attacked non-Muslims, looted their belongings and killed their males. Jihadists then enslaved tens of thousands of females and children, forced them to convert to Islam, sent them on forced marches, beat them and set them to hard labor. The women and older girls also suffered ritual gang-rape, genital mutilation and a life of sexual servitude. Sudan39s state-sponsored jihad has caused about 2 million deaths and the displacement of another 4 million - making it the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our era. Most Muslims, do not read the Quran for themselves and instead rely on imams and preachers to do the reading and interpreting for them. (Said by a Muslim assistant professor of religious studies, Khaleel Mohammed at San Diego State University). One question that I always wanted to ask: if Allah wants to kill the unbelievers, why he dose not do it himself It should be easy for him to kill them, and strike them with all sorts of disasters and calamities to satisfy his vengeful nature and bloodthirsty mood. Why instead he asks his messenger and his zealot devotees to do his dirty work Is it perhaps that he is incapable to do it on his own Or is it that he is no god at all but the figment of Muhammad39s mind, a convenient scarecrow that would give the self acclaimed prophet unlimited power to plunder, rape and govern the lives and minds of those ignorant barbarians who believed in the concoction of his lies Name: Khalid Date: Saturday February 28, 2009 Time: 17:51:47 -0500 What a horribly written article article. I can39t believe what i just read here. They make it sound like the Filipino39s looked forward for the spanish to take over their country and save them from Islam. What a lie. The Filipino39s fought hard against the spanish rule and hated every minute under it. The spanish were the worst people ever to come to the Philippines and this can be found by visiting the museums there. They have statues and songs for the man who liberated them from the spanish all over the capital Manila. As for the rest of this article its just a bunch of rubbish and hate by typical christians who want to violently take over the world. Name: Islam Should Die Date: Thursday March 26, 2009 Time: 11:16:08 -0500 Islam is a lot of bullshit - not that I mind that more than I mind those innocents being murdered.

This is a great article Name: Prambanan Date: Sunday April 05, 2009 Time: 03:16:16 -0400 A little correction to this excellent article.

These two temples are Hindu and Buddha ancient biggest temple in the world. Historic City of Vigan Historic City of Vigan Established in the 16th century, Vigan is the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines, from China and from Europe, resulting in a culture and townscape that have no parallel anywhere in East and South-East Asia. Ville historique de Vigan Vigan est lexemple le plus intact de ville coloniale espagnole fonde au XVI e sicle en Asie. Son architecture reflte la runion dlments culturels en provenance dautres rgions des Philippines, de Chine et dEurope, crant une culture unique et un paysage urbain sans quivalent en Extrme-Orient. . :. XVI . . ,,. , - . Ciudad histrica de Vigan Fundada en el siglo XVI, la ciudad de Vigan es el ejemplo ms fiel e intacto del urbanismo colonial espaol en Asia. Su arquitectura es un exponente de la confluencia de elementos culturales procedentes de otras regiones de Filipinas, as como de China y Europa. Esa confluencia ha dado por resultado la configuracin de un paisaje urbano excepcional y de una cultura sin parangn en todo el Extremo Oriente. Historische stad Vigan Vigan werd in de 16e eeuw gesticht en is het best bewaard gebleven voorbeeld van een Spaanse koloniale stad in Azi. Vigan vertegenwoordigt een unieke combinatie van Aziatische bouw - en constructiestijl en Europese koloniale architectuur en planning. Culturele elementen uit andere delen van de Filippijnen zijn samengegaan met Chinese en Europese invloeden, wat resulteert in een stadsbeeld dat nergens anders in Oost en Zuidoost Azi te vinden is. Vanwege de gemengde invloeden wijkt Vigan ook af van de Spaanse koloniale steden in Latijns Amerika. De voormalige Europese handelsstad is tegenwoordig verdeeld in negen districten en dertig dorpen. Outstanding Universal Value Vigan is the most intact example in Asia of a planned Spanish colonial town, established in the 16th century. Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines and from China with those of Europe and Mexico to create a unique culture and townscape without parallels anywhere in East and South-East Asia. An important trading post before the colonial era, Vigan is located at the river delta of Abra River, along the northwestern coastline of the main island of Luzon, in the Province of Ilocos Sur, Philippine Archipelago. The total area of the inscribed property is 17.25 hectares. The traditional Hispanic checkerboard street plan opens up into two adjacent plazas. The Plaza Salcedo is the longer arm of an L-shaped open space, with the Plaza Burgos as the shorter. The two plazas are dominated by the St. Pauls Cathedral, the Archbishops Palace, the City Hall and the Provincial Capitol Building. The urban plan of the town closely conforms with the Renaissance grid plan specified in the Ley de la Indias for all new towns in the Spanish Empire. There is, however, a noticeable difference between Vigan and contemporary Spanish colonial towns in Latin America in the Historic Core (known as the Mestizo district), where the Latin tradition is tempered by strong Chinese, Ilocano, and Filipino influences. As its name implies, this district was settled by affluent families of mixed Chinese-Ilocano origin. The area contains the historic footprint of the entire town and consists of a total of 233historic buildings tightly strung along a grid of 25 streets. The two storey structures are built of brick and wood, with a steeply pitched roof reminiscent of traditional Chinese architecture. The exterior walls of the upper storey are enclosed by window panels of kapis shells framed in wood which can be slid back for better ventilation. Most of the existing buildings were probably built in the mid 18th to late 19th centuries. Due to the economic decline of Vigan as an economic center after the World War II, only a few of the historic buildings had internal reorganization for alternative use. The Chinese merchants and traders conducted their business from shops, offices and storerooms on the ground floors of their houses, with the living quarters above. In addition to the domestic and commercial architecture, Vigan possesses a number of significant public buildings, which also show multi-cultural influences. Vigan is unique for having preserved much of its Hispanic colonial character, particularly its grid street pattern and historic urban lay out. Its significance also lies on how the different architectural influences are blended to create a homogenous townscape. Criterion (ii): Vigan represents a unique fusion of Asian building design and construction with European colonial architecture and planning. Criterion (iv): Vigan is an exceptionally intact and well-preserved example of a European trading town in East and South-East Asia. All elements necessary to express the values of the property are included within the property. This ensures the representation of its significance as a well planned and well preserved Hispanic colonial town. At present, the salient features of most of the ancestral Vigan houses are conserved, although a few houses remain in deteriorating condition due to neglect of their absentee owners. Vigan has maintained its authenticity in its grid street pattern, historic urban lay out and use of open spaces. The historic buildings have maintained their traditional uses for commerce at the lower floors and as residence for the owners on the upper floors. However, very few houses remain untouched. Changes introduced to the betterconserved houses have been to the interior: subdividing the large living quarters into smaller apartments, and adjusting of ground floor to provide spaces to let out for commercial use. After having been completely altered to allow new uses, many structures have lost their authenticity. A few structures have been abandoned, neglected, and left to decay. The original building materials such as bricks, wood, kapis shells and lime for mortar and plaster were all obtained from surrounding areas. The lack of traditional building materials such as wood and lime for plaster and mortar has resulted in the use of modern materials such as cement and galvanized iron sheets for roofing. The awareness on the need to preserve authenticity has dramatically increased since the site was inscribed. Conservation practices that have developed organically over the last three centuries are now being re-introduced, making use of a considerable reserve of traditional building crafts that have survived. News (5)TED Case Studies 1. The Issue This case study is about nata de coco . a chewy, translucent, indigenous dessert in the Philippines that is very popular in Japan. In 1993, Japanese people, especially young people considered nata de coco a popular dessert, however, its popularity declined because their interest moved to another trendy dessert. Small coconut farmers and those who started manufacturing nata de coco in the Philippines began to export more nata de coco to Japan in 1993. Though Japan imported 90 percent of the Philippines nata de coco . its supply did not meet the demand for the dessert in Japan. About one year later, the products astonishing popularity quieted. Environmental and unemployment problems arose because of Japan was importing nata de coco from the Philippines. Moreover, the end of the nata de coco boom seemed the best time to focus on the poverty and underdevelopment in the Philippines, whose origin could be dated back to a century ago. 2. Description This case study is about coconuts in the Philippines. About 5 years ago, nata de coco . a dessert which is made from coconuts, was a big fad in Japan. However, problems arose because the production of nata de coco could not catch up with its demand in Japan and, after the nata de coco boom in Japan was over, people moved to another dessert from overseas. As a result of this whim, many problems have arisen in the Philippines. Nata de coco is a chewy, translucent, traditional Philippine dessert which is coconut gel-product from coconut water by bacterial fermentation-prepared. (Antarindo Trading Web Page) In 1992, this dessert was introduced to Japan through its use in diet foods enjoyed by young girls. (Metcalfe, 1994: 76) Moreover, Japanese believed it protects the body against colon cancer, and it became a boon for slimmers. (Metcalfe) Nata de coco is high in fiber, good for the digestive system, and it is low in calories and contains no cholesterol. Its peak moment of popularity in Japan occurred in 1993. Nata de coco could be found everywhere at that time. Many companies manufacturing nata de coco rivaled each other for new nata de coco products. C. Positive Conditions The nata de coco boom in Japan brought a huge impact on the small labor-intensive cottage industry in the Philippines. Nata de coco was usually produced at coconut farmers houses in the countryside, and it was an indigenous dessert. However, it suddenly became one of the most important exports. Filipinos are busy capitalizing on a sudden foreign craving for an indigenous coconut by-product. (Metcalfe) The Manila Bulletin described nata de coco as a Miracle Product. (Metcalfe) The nata de coco boom was a stroke of luck for the Philippines, who had been going through export an economical depression. The cottage industry attracted many Filipino workers to turn over and get into its industry because the way of making nata de coco is simple it does not take high-tech machinery and a lot of money to produce. The cottage industry added to its factory and labor, and it put its utmost into nata de coco production. Metcalfe mentions that at Martinez Nata de Coco in Lucena City, production increased by 400, from 500 to 2,000 trays a month. Expansion is limited not by demand, which appears to be limitless, but by space. (Metcalfe) Furthermore, In Los Banos, a major producing area, the crime rate has dropped dramatically, because the people committing crimes were working to make nata de coco . (Metcalfe) D. Negative Conditions It is the rule that the Golden Age has never been maintained, and the nata de coco boom in Japan was also not an exception. Japanese people, especially young people, turned their interest to a different dessert which was also from a foreign country. Japanese makers followed the trend and moved their focus to the new dessert. In the Philippines, people might be depressed as they looked at a stack of nata de coco . Its countryside returns to silence as though people had been busy making the Miracle Product was a dream. More importantly, the Philippines developed many problems which were not there during the boom. For example, producing nata de coco requires a kind of strong acetic acids. Since nata de coco was made at small private factories in the countryside, people did not pay attention to the effects of the acetic acids, and they discharged it into the soil. That caused dermatitis and soil acidity. (Futakami Jirous World Web Page) Moreover, the end of the boom uncovered big problems in the Philippines, such as poverty and underdevelopment. E. Coconut Industry in the Philippines The Philippines is the largest coconut-producing country in the world. (Sakakibara, 1994: 88) It is said that there are 330 million coconut farmers in the Philippines, which is equivalent to one out of three people in the primary industries engage in coconut farms. (Sakakibara: 40) Price movement easily affects the income of coconut framers and even though a farmer has ten coconut trees, he could earn his bread at one time. (Sakakibara: 40) The coconut industry in the Philippines are jeopardized in intensifying competitions because 88 percent are small scale farmers, less than five hectares, and they do not have a unified management strategy. (Sakakibara: 90-91) a. The History of Coconut Plantations An American adventurer met with the elders of a Muslim village and told them he wanted to turn their cow-grazing land into a coconut plantation. cc (Tiglao, 1999: 63-5) The coconut plantation in the Philippines began from a century ago, right after the Spanish left. (Tiglao) Tiglao insists that the headlong rush into coconut farming in the Philippines early this century has left the country impoverished and underdevelopment. (Tiglao) The more Christians migrated to the Muslim village, the more lands were replaced by coconut plantations, and then, coconut trees dominated in the rural Muslim areas. (Tiglao) In 1642, the Spanish colonizers ordered each native to plant 200 of coconut trees for caulking their galleons, and its husks, and making ships rigging, in 1930, 150,000 hectares, or 5 of arable land, were coconut trees. (Tiglao) Today, three million hectares, a quarter of the countrys agricultural land, were covered by coconut plantations. (Tiglao) b. The Rise of coconut demand Until in the 19th century, two everyday commodities, soap and margarine, were made from beef fat, mainly from America. (Tiglao) Since blizzards and drought hit in the United States, and the cattle industry received huge damage, soap and margarine manufacturers used vegetable oils as less-expensive alternates. (Tiglao) Then, coconut came into the spotlight. European countries took coconuts from their Asian colonies, and American soap manufacturers had their eyes on the Philippines, the U. S. is newest colony. (Tiglao) Coconut trees were planted with unrecorded speed in the Philippines. The area of coconut plantations overtook that of a more famous export crop, sugarcane by 1930. (Tiglao) After two world wars ended, not only soap and margarine, but coconut oil became popular with advances in chemistry, and coconut oil became one of the biggest export items in the Philippines. Until 1970s, coconut oil continued as the countrys biggest export product, accounting for 35 of the total. (Tiglao) c. The Root of Poverty and Underdevelopment Coconut exports bring the Philippines lots of foreign exchange, and it is very important to its income. Coconut planting, however, results in massive deforestation, and due to the fact that coconut trees dominate in certain areas, the ecosystem must be changed. But perhaps the most destructive legacy of the Wests demand for coconut oil is the Philippines poverty and economic underdevelopment. (Tiglao) Even if the Philippines has got profits from coconut exports, the profits go to traders and exporters, not a third of the countrys population, farmers. (Tiglao) Now, the value of coconut oil has fallen in real terms through the decades, partly as a result of increased production of substitutes such as American and Chinese soybean and cottonseed oil as well as sunflower-seed oil from the former Soviet republics. (Tiglao) Tiglao concludes that even now, the country faces tremendous problems that emerged a century ago, because of the Wests cravings for soap and margarine. (Tiglao) As I mentioned before, the nata de coco boom in Japan in 1993 was unforeseen luck for poor coconut farmers. Yet, farmers were eventually at the mercy of the boom. Practically, Japan exploited the developing country, the Philippines, where the West has already formed the relationship of exploitation. This case study about nata de coco is a good example of the impact of trade which can lead to changing the environment and culture of people and places. Generally, less developed countries sacrifice themselves for more developed countries. Even when the colonial period was over, and almost all colonies obtained independence, the exploitative bond has still remained. The Philippines has given up its rich forest, and then, the Philippines has exported coconut to get foreign exchange. Still, the people are poor as long as the exploitative bond will not cut off. 3.

Type of Habitat: The climate of the Philippines is tropical and is strongly affected by monsoon (rain-bearing) winds. The climate has two seasons, wet and dry. Although it is not exactly same throughout the country, it is the dry season from December to May. The first three months is cool the second three months, hot. The rest of the year is the wet season. From June through December, typhoons, which basically come from the southeast often hit in the Philippines. Heavy typhoons frequently cause floods or high winds which lead to perils of life and property. (Encyclopaedia Britannica Online) 12. Type of Measure: Philippines coconut trade has been disputed at World Trade Organization (WTO) twice. Both cases were that the Philippines complained measures affecting desiccated coconut toward Brazil. The latest dispute was settled in March 1997. The Philippines claims that the countervailing duty imposed by Brazil on the Philippines exports of desiccated coconut is inconsistent with WTO and GATT rules. (WTO Web Page) This dispute resulted in that Brazil won after the Philippines appealed. 13. Direct v. Indirect Impacts: 14. Relation of Trade Measure to Environmental Impact a.

Economic Data The amount of nata de coco export to Japan was a fed was only 314 million dollars a year three years before when nata de coco . but in 1993, it increased sharply, and it reached 836 million dollars only in November, 1993. It was more than 200 times than in 1990. ( Yomiuri Shinbun newspaper, Dec. 28, 1993) The export of Nata from the Philippines has risen from approximately 1 million per year to more than 26 million per year as of 1993 (see Philippine Daily Inquirer Agriculture Vol. 20. March 3, 1994). Nata earned the distinction as among the 30 best hit products among Japanese consumers for 1993. (The University of Texas at Austin Botany Department Web Page) Table 1: Coconut The Philippines and Japan 20. Environmental Problem Type: The Philippines was originally rich in natural rain forests. Coconut planting, however, contributed to massive deforestation. Most part of the forest turned into coconut plantations to earn foreign exchange. In 1910, forests covered 66 of the Philippines total land area now, its only 20. (Tiglao) Due to the deforestation, coconut trees have become a dominance of the plants in the Philippines. It has led to destroying biological diversity. Then, it has a bad influence on the ecosystem. A kind of strong acetic acids is the necessity for the process of producing nata de coco . Because of the fact that making nata de coco depended on the small cottage industry, owners of the small factories did not dispose of the acetic acids properly. Therefore, the discharge made the soil acidified. 21. Name, Type, and Diversity of Species Name: Coconut palm (species Cocos nucifera ) Diversity: Coconut palms thrive best close to the sea on low-lying areas a few feet above high water where there is circulating groundwater and an ample rainfall. (Encyclopaedia Britannica Online) Small plantations are the main place where most of the worlds coconuts are produced. The South Pacific countries sach as the Philippines and Indonesia, are the typical breeding area of coconut palms. (Encyclopaedia Britannica Online) 22. Resource Impact and Effect: HIGH and PRODuct 23. Urgency and Lifetime: MEDium and 100s of years The deforestation rate of the Philippines now pegged at 25 hectares an hour or 219,000 hectares a year. Experts say the country can expect its forests to be gone in less than 40 years. (Honda: Philippines Sugar Case) 24. Substitutes: Nate from Strawberry juice by Acetobacter xylinym Nata of nata de coco make from strawberry juice instead of coconut milk. Nata de coco is a pellicle which is formed by a species of Acetobacter on the surface of coconut milk medium. The nata needs several ingredients: strawberry juice, Acetobacter sp. NA-2, which is a bacterial strain, glucose and acetic acid. Investigation by Hiroshi Nakayama, Kazuo Mochizuki, Toshihiro Suzuki, Shingo Dohi, Atsuhiro Kato and Susumu Tanifuji (Shizuoka Industrial Research Institute Web Page) VI. Other Factors 25. Culture: The Reason of Nata de Coco Boom Japanese people tend to seek brand-new things. A certain thing attracts a great deal of public attention for a only limited time. Nata de coco was such a example. Especially foreign desserts become a boom one after another roughly every year. Tiramisu from Italy and Tapioca from southern countries are such desserts. During the boom, people, the media and makers make much of the thing. Yet, after the boom is gone, the thing in favor right before comes to out of favor. Who Create a Boom It is ten to one that young women, from high school girls to women in their early 20s, lead these fashions in Japan. They are supersensitive to new products. As a result of this, makers try to catch their attention, and improve products so that women may come to really like them. Once a product comes into vogue, it is given a big space in magazines and news. Then, it becomes more and more popular. After a while, its popularity, however, decreases because of the emergence of other new products. 26. Trans-Boundary Issues: 27. Rights: Coconut farmers have been in severe conditions for a long time. Historically, the surcharge system was enforced under the Marcos Administration in 1973.(Yamamoto: 1992) The system was harsh for coconut farmers. Most of the farmers owned a small-scale of farm hence, the system had a great influence on them, and their income of the farmers dropped dramatically. 72 percent of the farmers lived below the standard of living in the Philippines. Although the system was discontinued in 1980, farmers still live in poor conditions, because they rely on the market price of coconut for their income. In 1990, the price of coconut oil came to be less expensive than that of soybean oil, which always competes with coconut oil. What is worse, coconut trees have become superannuated so, the yield has declined recently. (Sakakibara: 90) The poor farmers cannot do anything to their old coconut trees, but just keep extracting the essence. Suddenly, in 1993, the demand of coconut became rising, as if it were an saviour of coconut farming. The nata de coco boom in Japan caused the increase of coconut export in Philippines. Many Filipinos launch into the promising industry, the produce of nata de coco . in order to live better life. However, today when the boom is regarded as a frail dream, people lost their job. They have trouble with finding new job while everyone is struggling with unemployment. What is more, even during the boom, many Filipinos faced hard time, since Japanese companies attempted to force them to produce with very low wages. The most essential problem, however, is the structure of North-South Gap. The developed countries exploit the developing countries. Always, crops and raw materials in the developing countries export are cheaper than what developed countries export, like cars and computers. This structure makes poor people poor consistently. The Philippines, of course, is on the developing countries side. 28. Relevant Literature houkiessayzatubunnfiripinnatadecoco. html 5.
