4 The Founding of Islam

Islam is a religion founded in the seventh century AD in Arabia. It has been called the fastest growing and the most intolerant religion on the face of the earth. With its emphasis on conversion by the sword (force) it has been shown to be prone to carry out violence against the Jews and Christians. We will deal with its founding, development, and efforts to stop it as well as its final termination in God’s plan for this earth in this work. We will not deal with Muslim apologists who attempt to alter history and factual data that was commonly accepted only a generation ago (Matthew 7: 15). We only have to look at their behavior to validate their practices as taught from its inception (Matthew 7: 16-17). From its establishment to today and until God removes it from this earth we will see how this religion is an accelerant on the animosity the Arabs have had for the Jews. It began with Ishmael, Esau and the sons of Keturah but greatly expanded under the founder and his successors of Islam.
