Below is a link to a 45-min video by Dr. Bill Warner, giving a fascinating, eye-opening overview of Islamic history and its fruit. It is very relevant to our lives and interaction here in Israel, both surrounded and ‘infiltrated’ by the Islamic jihad (holy war) spirit, and also in how it affects our relations and interactions even within the Body of Messiah, especially between those are engaged in various reconciliation ministries and ‘life-styles’ with Arab believers. Although not officially dhimmis, they live as if they were. This is the accumulative effect of Islam over the 1400 centuries of their on-going conquest.
Remember that Satan is the god of this world, and wants us to remember all the bad things done especially by Jews and Christians in history. He does NOT want people to know the grace and goodness of the true God and Savior to REDEEM and to SAVE even His own people who sin. The modern State of Israel, at least till now, and despite all her continued unbelief and blindness and stiff-neckedness against the good news of Jesus the Messiah and Son of God, is a BULWARK of the Lord against Islamic domination and its forceful submission of those who do not submit to Mohammed and his god.
On his own website, www.politicalislam.com, Dr. Warner writes in one of his articles that “The story of Islam starts with the Jews since Islam is a Jewish heresy. The Koran endlessly adapts Jewish stories such as those of Moses and Noah to show that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah.” Warner is not “pro-Israel”; he presents himself as a qualified scientist studying objective facts against theories.
An interesting statistic, according to Dr. Warner, is that Israel — percentage-wise by population — suffers the most from Islamic jihadist attacks. He also says that the most despised people in the world are the victims of Islam within Islam. He challenges Christians, and others, to speak out and do something against the incessant lies and distortions of truth, and the horrible brutality of Islam. There is much more here that puts history in a much better light, with its darkness as well. ( The website that I am taking this video from, with its independent analysis, is also stimulating for renewed Bible study.)

By the grace of God, let us be transformed by renewing our minds and not be conformed to the pattern of this world.
