John Quincy Adams
John Quincy Adams (1767 – 1848) was the sixth President of the United States. He was also an American diplomat and served in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
“…he [Muhammad] declared
undistinguishing and exterminating
war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind…The precept of
the Koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet
of God.[66]
“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering
Arab of the lineage of Hagar [i.e., Muhammad], the Egyptian, combining the
powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent
spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and
spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth.
Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one
omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his
prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the
faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to
the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the
gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity
at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance
of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part
of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO
EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE [Adam's capital
letters]….Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their
characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet
flagrant…While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall
furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good
will towards men.[67]
“As the
essential principle of his faith is the subjugation of others by the sword; it
is only by force, that his false doctrines can be dispelled, and his power
annihilated. They [The Russians] have been from time immemorial, in a
state of almost perpetual war with the Tatars, and with their successors, the
Ottoman conquerors of Constantinople. It were an idle waste of time to trace
the causes of each renewal of hostilities, during a succession of several
centuries. The precept of
the Koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet
of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of
tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of
peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious
necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the
sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the
prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force. Of Mahometan good faith,
we have had memorable examples ourselves. When our gallant [Stephen] Decatur
ref had chastised the pirate of Algiers, till he was ready to renounce his
claim of tribute from the United States, he signed a treaty to that effect: but
the treaty was drawn up in the Arabic language, as well as in our own; and our
negotiators, unacquainted with the language of the Koran, signed the copies of
the treaty, in both languages, not imagining that there was any difference
between them. Within a year the Dey demands, under penalty of the renewal of
the war, an indemnity in money for the frigate taken by Decatur; our Consul
demands the foundation of this pretension; and the Arabic copy of the treaty,
signed by himself is produced, with an article stipulating the indemnity,
foisted into it, in direct opposition to the treaty as it had been concluded.
The arrival of Chauncey, with a squadron before Algiers, silenced the
fraudulent claim of the Dey, and he signed a new treaty in which it was
abandoned; but he disdained to conceal his intentions; my power, said he, has
been wrested from my hands; draw ye the treaty at your pleasure, and I will
sign it; but beware of the moment, when I shall recover my power, for with that
moment, your treaty shall be waste paper. He avowed what they always practised,
and would without scruple have practised himself. Such is the spirit, which
governs the hearts of men, to
whom treachery and violence are taught as principles of religion.[68]
“Had it been possible for a sincere and honest peace to be maintained
between the Osmanli and his christian neighbors, then would have been the time
to establish it in good faith. But the treaty was no sooner made than broken.
It never was carried into effect by the Turkish government.[69]
“[From the Ottoman Reis Effendi, to his Russian
counterparts] ‘The present friendly letter has been composed and sent, to
acquaint your excellency. with the circumstance; when you shall learn, on
receipt of it, that the Sublime Porte has at all times; no other desire or wish
than to preserve peace, and good understanding ; and that the event in
question has been brought about, entirely by the act of the said minister, we
hope that you will endeavor, do every occasion, to fulfil the duties of
friendship.’ But precisely at the time when this mild, and candid, and gently
expostulary epistle was despatched for St. Petersburg, another state paper was
issued, addressed by the Sultan to his own subjects-this was the Hatti Sheriff
of the 20th of December, sent to the Pashas of all the provinces, calling on
all the faithful Mussulmen of the empire to come forth and 'fight for their
religion, and their country, against the infidel despisers of the Prophet. The
comparison of these two documents with each other, will afford the most perfect
illustration of the Ottoman faith, as well as of their temper towards Russia.
“The Hatti Sheriff commenced with the following admirable
commentary upon the friendly profession, which introduced the letter to count
Nesselrode. ‘It is well known (said the Sultan) to almost every person, that if
the Mussulmen naturally hate the infidels, the infidels, on then part, are the
enemies of the Mussulmen : that Russia, more especially, bears a
particular hatred to Islamism, and that she is the principal enemy of the
Sublime Porte.’
“This appeal to the natural hatred of the Mussulmen towards the infidels,
is in just accordance with the precepts of the Koran. The document does not
attempt to disguise it, nor even pretend that the enmity of those whom it
styles the infidels, is any other than the necessary consequence of the hatred
borne by the Mussulmen to them—the paragraph itself, is a forcible example of
the contrasted character of the two religions. The fundamental doctrine of the
christian religion, is the extirpation of hatred from the human heart. It
forbids the exercise of it, even towards enemies. There is no denomination of
christians, which denies or misunderstands this doctrine. All understand it
alike—all acknowledge its obligations ; and however imperfectly, in the
purposes of Divine Providence, its efficacy has been shown in the practice of
christians, it has not been wholly inoperative upon them. Its effect has been
upon the manners of nations. It has mitigated the horrors of war – it has
softened the features of slavery – it has humanized the intercourse of social
life. The unqualified acknowledgement of a duty does not, indeed, suffice to
insure its performance. Hatred is yet a passion, but too powerful upon the
hearts of christians. Yet they cannot indulge it, except by the sacrifice of
their principles, and the conscious violation of their duties. No state paper
from a Christian hand, could, without trampling the precepts of its Lord and
Master, have commenced by an open proclamation of hatred to any portion of the
human race. The Ottoman lays it down as the foundation of his discourse.[70]
"If ever insurrection was holy in the eyes of God, such was that of the
Greeks against their Mahometan oppressors. Yet for six long years, they were
suffered to be overwhelmed by the whole mass of the Ottoman power; cheered only
by the sympathies of all the civilized world, but without a finger raised to
sustain or relieve them by the Christian governments of Europe; while the sword
of extermination, instinct with the spirit of the Koran, was passing in
merciless horror over the classical regions of Greece, the birth-place of
philosophy, of poetry, of eloquence, of all the arts that embellish, and all
the sciences that dignify the human character. The monarchs of Austria, of
France, and England, inflexibly persisted in seeing in the Greeks, only
revolted subjects against a lawful sovereign. The ferocious Turk eagerly seized
upon this absurd concession, and while sweeping with his besom of destruction
over the Grecian provinces, answered every insinuation of interest in behalf of
that suffering people, by assertions of the unqualified rights of sovereignty,
and by triumphantly retorting upon the legitimates of Europe, the consequences
naturally flowing from their own perverted maxims.”[71]
“This pretended discovery of a plot between Russia and the Greeks, is
introduced, to preface an exulting reference to the unhallowed butchery of the
Greek Patriarch and Priests, on Easter day of 1822, at Constantinople, and to
the merciless desolation of Greece, which it calls ‘doing justice by the sword’
to a great number of rebels of the Morea, of Negropont, of Acarnania,
Missolonghi, Athens, and other parts of the continent.The document
acknowledges, that although during several years, considerable forces, both
naval and military, had been sent against the Greeks, they had not succeeded in
suppressing the insurrection.[72]"

AND NOW, for more
scholarly quotes from Imam Obama, see the URL.
OR, beside Imam Obama’s
insights above, a few Quranic verses that have insired many Islamo-fascists.
Qur'an 3:32—Say:
Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back, then surely Allah does not
love the unbelievers.
Qur'an 48:29—Muhammad
is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against
disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling
down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure.
The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the
traces of (their) prostration (during prayers). This is their description in
the Taurat (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a
(sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes
thick, and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may
enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who
believe (i.e. all those who follow Islamic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet
Muhammad SAW till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds,
forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e. Paradise).
Qur'an 4:24—Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property—desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
Qur'an 5:33—The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement.
Qur'an 9:5—Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Qur'an 9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day [notice it says "fight those who do not believe," not "fight people who are attacking you"], nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book [the people of the book are Jews and Christians], until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Qur'an 9:73—O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.
Qur'an 9:111—Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement.
Qur'an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.
Qur'an 4:24—Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property—desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.

Qur'an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.
Qur'an 2:106—Whatever
communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than
it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things?
From the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the Collect for
Good Friday:
O
MERCIFUL God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing
that thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather that he
should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and
Hereticks, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of
thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to thy flock, that they may be
saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold under one
shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy
Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
