In case anymore proof was required about this being a war against Islam.

Prime Minister Blair's Speech

Published: July 16, 2005

The following is extracts of the text of the speech delivered by Prime Minister Tony Blair on Saturday, July 16, 2005.

"What we are confronting here is an evil ideology.....This is the battle that must be won, a battle not just about the terrorist methods but their views. Not just their barbaric acts, but their barbaric ideas. Not only what they do but what they think and the thinking they would impose on others." If you compare this statement of Blair as proof that this is a war against islam then i ask you, have the idolators of Mekka and the enemies of the faithful in the time of the prophet ever been able to call islam barbaric or cruel? no, the only reason they could hold against the muslims was their faith in one god and them calling to it, this ment the idolator leaders would lose people under them, they would lose power and social position which they did not wish to give up. So they made the barbaric cruel choice to opress and kill the faithful to make them leave their faith. The irony is that now this barbaric and cruel choice is made by so called muslims who wish to force their ways upon the rest through killing and opressing those who do not wish to follow their ways. The Prophet never hungered for power, the idolators did so they chose to fight against him and the faithful and this forced the faithful to defend their ownselves and their faith, and they became victorious and thus the prophet had to govern a state. Allah gives power to whom He wishes. And all power belongs to Allah, the messenger and the faithful. So what is this with leaders of groups hungering for power? is it not enough for them that all power belongs to Allah, the messenger and the true faithful? the answer is obviously no, they try to gain more power by being taghoot(someone who forces himself upon people to be feared and worshipped) and they do this through making methodologies and claims that the prophet said something which should be obeyed, and if one does not he will go to hell, they use the people's fear of hell fire to become blind for the mercy of Allah which is found in the koran for those who fear Him alone. They make people afraid not of Allah who's speech and commands are clear in the koran but through their words which they claim come from the prophet and need to be obeyed. People have the choice to listen to them or not, and the weakness and untruthfulness in people listening to them is their false depenedence on people for guidance instead of dependence on only Allah for guidance, especially when their claims are not accepted by the heart because the heart has this thing that when it hears something that is unjust it does not want it, but when people chose to not even consider their own heart or their heart being so hard that they can not even feel when something is unjust and actually take up arms to kill and fight those who do not have a wish for their ideology, this is when someone has become unjust, and they will either leave this ideology later on when the pain of the heart becomes too unbarable or their hearts become harder then stones and keep on the same course untill they are ruined. Because killing those who do not fight you for your faith or make you leave your homes is unjust and in no way the way of our prophet who came with the truth. And you can not blame those who deffend themselves against violent ideologies. Because then you would blame the prophet and the faithful who defended themselves against the violent ideology of the polytheists of Arabia.  True Guidance is the guidance of Allah, even the messenger can not guide whom he wishes. But Allah guides whom He wishes.

"Neither is it true that they have no demands. They do. It is just that no sane person would negotiate on them. " !!!!

"They demand the elimination of Israel; the withdrawal of all westerners from Muslim countries, irrespective of the wishes of people and Government; the establishment of effectively Taleban states and Sharia law in the Arab world en route to one Caliphate of all Muslim nations."

All Muslims wish to see the liberation of ALL of Palestine (not just the west Bank & Gaza), see the expulsion of the western occupation, the establishment of Sharia law and a single Islamic leadership (Caliphate) for all the Muslims. Palestine is not the name of that area, the Filisteens where the name Palestine comes from got fought against and killed by the Messenger of Allah Mosaa(Moses the peace is upon him) and the faithful with him. So do you wish the judgement of ignorance? humku al jaahiliyaa is not what the true faithful wish, so for a faithful person to even say that the area is called Palestine is unjust, because then he grabs back to the judgement of the time of ignorance, the time when the Filistinieen ruled that area, and they were polytheists and got defeated by the faithful bani israeel and it became The Holy Land.

Thanks to thse kind of comments, it helps Muslims to see even clearer than before that this indeed is a war to suppress Islam and confine it to the worships in a new religion called "Moderate Islam". You must agree that you can practise your faith and call to it in the whole western world, and they do not have to accept it and they can argue back and say whatever they want to, but when they start killing the faithful because of them practising their faith or calling to it, this is when the true faithful will take up the sword against them again, because the prophet and the faithful did not take up a sword against those who chose to be their enemies untill they took up the sword first to kill the faithful because of their faith. So if you wish to follow the sunnah there it is, in the koran. And since the western world implemented religious freedom the true faithful stopped fighting them. And it is the faith blood and sweat of the prophet, the faithful and the faithful after them who worked for this and achieved it. Because in my view religious freedom came to be because of the threat posed by those true muslims who fought against those who killed and opressed the faithful for their faith, so instead of fighting against those faithful and being over run eventually as was the case with all the other nations who chose to kill the faithful and forbid their faith, they chose to implement religious freedom and with this the need to fight them came to an end.  But when some groups think they have enough following and enough resources to go out and kill those who oppose their barabaric and cruel ideologies, this is when they meet the steel and fire of the armies. Why is it that when these mostly arab types read the koran and read "to warn from a fierce violence from His side" in surat 18 the cave they apply it to the rest of the world who can not even read arabic instead of their ownselves? don't they see they speak arabic and it came in their language? so to who is the warning really directed? the truth is they do not listen to the words of Allah and reflect upon them but rather listen to the explanations and reflections of leaders who imposed themselves on them to be followed and whom they chose to follow. The warning for a fierce violence from His side stands because in my view arabs have no excuse, the book came in their language, it has not been altered like the bible and torah. And their choice to disregard the speech of Allah for the speech of men is a very bad choice, and they work their own ruin if they choose the path of violence for the sake of the speech of men they idolize. So the advices are fear Allah alone so that you may be shown mercy. And have faith in Allah and disbelieve in the taghoot(one who forces himself upon people to be worshipped besides Allah, one who puts baseless fears into people as to gain power over them)
