Muslim Immigration

Assessing the Risk - Four Questions

An outright ban like Donald Trump wants to impose on Muslim immigration is not the answer. However, any politician who is serious about protecting his constituents should consider asking a few questions of prospective immigrants and refugees who swear by the Book and the sayings and example of the Prophet Muhammad.

QUESTIONS

Answering any of the following questions in the affirmative would indicate that it may be best for the believers, and the people whose hospitality they are seeking, to reject the unbelievers generosity should it still be forthcoming.

1. In the Koran, Allah is quoted as saying that "Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers." [3:85]

Do you agree?

2. In the Koran, Allah is quoted as saying that "It is He Who sent forth His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may exalt it above every other religion. Allah suffices as Witness." [48:28]

Do you believe that it is your duty, wherever you are, to further Allah's and His Messenger's stated sacred mission to make Islam the supreme religion?

3. Prophet Muhammad, in an authenticated saying recorded by Imam Bukhari, said: "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)" [52.220]

Do you believe that terrorism is a legitimate weapon in the ultimate struggle to make the only religion acceptable to Allah triumph over every other religion?

4. Under what is known as the Doctrine of Taqiya, a believer is allowed to lie in Allah's Cause until such a time as he or she is in a position to impose His Will on the unwilling. The Doctrine finds its inspiration in the Koran.

4:71 O believers, be on your guard; so march in detachments or march altogether.

4:72 Indeed, among you is one who will stay behind, so that if a disaster befalls you, he will say: “Allah has favoured me, since I have not been a martyr with them.”

4:73 If, however, a bounty from God comes to you, he will say, as though there was no friendship between you and him: “Would that I had been with them; then I would have won a great victory.”

Would you lie to further Allah's Cause?

48:28 It is He Who sent forth His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may exalt it above every other religion. Allah suffices as Witness.

A believer who immigrates to what Islam considers the Land of War (where the Sharia is not the law of the land), lies about his intentions, and later dies in Allah's Cause while killing unbelievers will ascend to a higher level in Paradise — "higher rank" in the following.

9:20 Those who have believed, emigrated and fought in the Path of Allah with their lives are higher in rank in Allah’s Sight; and those are the winners.

9:21 Their Lord announces to them the good news of a mercy from Him, good pleasure and Gardens wherein they have everlasting bliss;

9:22 Abiding therein forever. With Allah is a great reward.

Allah also believes in living to fight another day.

47:35 So do not weaken and call for peace, while you have the upper hand and Allah is with you. He will not stint you your actions.
