Ramadan Day 24 thought for the day from my new book The History of Jihad: in the 830s, the Byzantine emperor Theophilus asked the Abbasid caliph al-Ma’mun for a peace accord. Al-Ma’mun responded:
I should make the answer to your letter cavalry horses bearing steadfast, courageous and keen-sighted riders, who would contend with you over your destruction, to seek Allah’s favor by spilling your blood….

Muslim leader answers Christian’s request for peace by threatening to “seek Allah’s favor by spilling your blood”
…………………….
That pretty much sums things up…
Lydia Church says
Yes, that is their idea of “peace”!
Just kill off all of those who don’t agree…
BC says
We must bear in mind that the Muslims were the aggressors then. The Byzantine Empire was not invading the Muslims
gravenimage says
So true.
J D S says
Seekiings Satan’s favor…of course Satan wants blood…and he don’t care whose blood either..Their blood is just the same to satan..He wants a lot of company in the Lake of Fire.
Don McKellar says
Nothing has changed. Here we have Byzantine emperor Theophilus misunderstanding the Islamic call for “peace” while not understanding what that term means to moslems. Of course it means: “Subjugate yourself to Islam and there will be peace.” The caliph was only following the Koran, like all modern day jihadis do. All this time and a thousand historical examples later and somehow we still don’t get it? How is that possible? It’s written right there!
mortimer says
Well expressed. Muslims are not permitted to make a peace treaty that lasts more than 10 years.
Sons of Liberty says
One historical example was the 1.3 million Armenian Christians killed by the Ottoman Turks starting in 1915 around WW I . Yet the leaders of today tell us Islam is a peaceful religion hijacked by extremists …..but the killing goes on and on and on…..AND ON !
mortimer says
The story of the exchange between Roman emperor Theophilus and the Abbasid caliph al-Ma’mun conforms with the JIHAD DOCTRINE found in the Koran.
Koran 9.14. “If they … assail your religion, then fight the HEADS OF DISBELIEF … Will ye not fight a folk who broke their solemn pledges, and purposed to drive out the messenger and did attack you first? What! Fear ye them? Now Allah hath more right that ye should fear Him, if ye are believers Fight them! Allah will CHASTISE THEM at your hands, and He will LAY THEM LOW and give you VICTORY over them.”
Jihad is AGGRESION directed against the dirty KUFAAR.
mortimer says
JB, again you miss the point because you have taken the lazy man’s approach and have not READ or STUDIED the PRIMARY SOURCE TEXTS: all of Islam is constructed around JIHAD according to Koran 9.29 which is the key turning point verse of Islam.
K.9.29 is the central verse of Islam, and jihad is the central act of Islam.
Your spontaneous UNSTUDIED and IRRELEVANT comments suggest that counterjihadists are moronic, sophomoric, spontaneous and without knowledge of Islam, so they are counterproductive. You make the counterjihad look foolish.
Berengaria says
I can still hear the Lies of a President of the USA, who stood before the American People & Proclaimed With Much Conviction that ISLAM was the “Religion of Peace”. If you disagreed, Bad Things seemed to happen to you.
We now are living in a Country, where each City & State has been Flooded with the members of the Murderous Islamic Cult.
I believe that it’s almost too late to fight back, because one half of our Country sympathizes with the Murderers! We Americans are outnumbered in our own Country!
Brigitte from Germany says
No, no, no, it`s never too late.
Sons of Liberty says
I agree Brigitte ! Never ever give up ,…this is our Country founded in LIBERTY and FREEDOM !
Terry Gain says
This is continuing because not enough people are praising Islam. More people need to follow the Catholic Bishops and Donald Trump, who are ad idem on how to respond to the threat of Islam.

We sure need “clarity” as we keep sloppily reverting back into the trap of our own English understanding of words. The ROP is deceiving everyone but according to its own lights is not technically lying. Here’s the fuller description:

Which god commands his followers to kill and maim people? Could it be …………SATAN!

The Grand Mosque in Mecca is 666 nautical miles from the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem… That’s the Holy Spirit’s way of letting us know that Allah is really Satan.
Fred Dawes says
Millions will be killed if people do not understand that Islam is evil and full of beast who want to kill.
WESTPAC Spy says
I never knew the meaning of what duty meant until I saw these men die.

Isaiah was written 700+ years before Christ and it describes why Jesus came and what He would suffer. It was written 2600+ years before Israel became a Nation again, and it describes how it would happen in a day. It has been 70 years since that prophecy was fulfilled. The last prophecy in Isaiah is a doozy, you might want to check it out.

The only time you can believe a Muslim barrow is when he says he will try to kill you.
Benedict says
– Muslim leader answers Christian’s request for peace by threatening to “seek Allah’s favor by spilling your blood” – – –
and nothing in his religion can be used to criticize him let alone to condemn him.
Islam can only triumph in violence and it will continue in violence to the end. And all over the world naive politicians bury their heads in the sand in order not to see it, preemptiving the possibility of having their heads cut off by these desert savages.
TWG says
Sure wish they’d start telling that to this pope the Catholics have anointed, as well as all the other dhimmi enablers and accomplices.
