By now, if you’re a Watchman on the Wall, you’re probably aware of the rising influence of Islam in this nation. Mosques are being built at record speed, and Muslim prayer rooms are even occupying airports and schools. Texas alone has over 220 mosques as of late 2025. States like New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey, and Michigan have thriving populations of Muslims and of course, mosques are built to accommodate them. Other states are seeing their numbers go up as well. Islamic neighborhood projects, which are designed for Muslim occupants who follow Sharia law, have been shut down in states like Texas, but it’s an ongoing battle. Protests around the nation are being led by Muslim students and citizens who preach hate against Israel and the Jewish people. We also have radical Muslim leaders in Congress who demonize Israel and sympathize with terrorist groups like Hamas. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Of course, it goes without saying that not all Muslims are trying to influence our culture and way of life. In fact, there are many who want to live peacefully and do not desire to force Islam on society. But the problem is that there are also those WHO DO want to change the fabric of Western culture, and in particular, degrade or erase the influence of Christianity.
In this blogpost, I am addressing the issues with Islam as a religion and the governmental system it supports. Muslims who submit to the true teachings of Islam are in fact working to undermine Christianity and the freedoms of the Constitution.
Firstly, no one would be against Muslims immigrating to and living in our nation if the goal was to assimilate into the culture and become part of Western society. But the problem with Islam is that it’s a religious, governmental system which demands compliance to its standards, not the standards of the country its adherents have moved to.
The Holy Books of Islam, the Koran and the Hadith, require that Muslims overpower and kill infidels (those who don’t follow Islam) if they do not submit. Women are treated as second-class citizens, and forced to cover the majority of their body and face. In enemy territory, or in times of war, they can be used as sex slaves. In short terms, any person– man or woman–who does not embrace and convert to Islam is treated as an enemy and punished accordingly. Again, these are just some of the abuses of Islam.
Obviously, Muslims cannot come into a country like the United States and force Islam on its citizens outright. After all, our laws are completely different. Aside from a military takeover, there’s no way they could just come in and set up their ruling system of Sharia law which is seen throughout the Middle East (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran…).
So, what’s their game plan?
When I say “they,” I am referring to true adherents of Islam. As stated by many Imams and prominent Islamic leaders, those who want Islam installed in America play the long game. They immigrate in large numbers, have lots of children, get elected to positions of leadership in the government, infiltrate the school system, become influencers on the Internet, start activist groups at universities, and demand special treatment. In Islam there is also the rule of Taqiyya. This means that Muslims may lie if it will advance the system of Islam.
The Middle East Forum writes, “According to Shari’a—the body of legal rulings that defines how a Muslim should behave in all circumstances—deception is not only permitted in certain situations but may be deemed obligatory in others. Contrary to early Christian tradition, for instance, Muslims who were forced to choose between recanting Islam or suffering persecution were permitted to lie and feign apostasy. Other jurists have decreed that Muslims are obligated to lie in order to preserve themselves, based on Qur’anic verses forbidding Muslims from being instrumental in their own deaths.”
Taqiyya can be used in other circumstances as well, such as deceiving people about what Islam’s true goals are.
Another concept prevalent in Islam is Hijra, which is “conquest through migration.” Do you ever wonder why so many Palestinian protesters are adamant about abolishing ICE? Policing the border would keep many Muslims who enter illegally out of the country. This is just one of the reasons why the Muslim community has aligned with Leftists. They know that they can use them to keep the border wide open. In Islam, the goal is to come in, have babies, populate cities, and then take control.
Just to be clear, a Muslim is defined as a person who submits to Islam–therefore if someone says they are a Muslim, they must follow what the Islamic religious system requires. Are there those who DO NOT follow everything required–Just like any religion, I’m sure there are Muslims who pick and choose what they will and will not follow. But that doesn’t change the fact that the Islamic Holy Books and Muhammed himself require that all nations (and their people) submit to Islam and its cruel laws. The terrorists are called extremists or radicals, but the truth is that they are following what Muhammed said to do. Read this article for more info on that.
Islam and Jew Hatred
Another key idea to understand about Islam is that at its core, there is a hatred for Jews. Much of this deadly amimosity stems from the fact that many Muslims believe the Jews corrupted and changed the true contents of the Bible. They equate them with pigs and apes, considering them sub-human. When I use the word Muslim here, I am referring to those who fully submit to the teachings of Islam.
When we witnessed the hatred of Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, as they brutalized Jewish families, raped women, and burned babies in ovens, we must understand that they believe the Jews are evil and that every last drop of Jewish blood must be spilled in order for Islam to be victorious. In general, the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people is seen as a “sacred duty” to these adherents. They believe they are carrying out God’s work by slaughtering Jews (and infidels) and they won’t stop until Islam takes over the whole world.
Negotiating with Islamic Nations?
As far as nations like Iran, whose leaders have implicitly stated that “Israel is the little Satan” and “must be wiped off the map,” the truth is that they believe they are preparing the way for the coming of their Messiah, also known as the Mahdi. By bringing about worldwide chaos and defeating their arch-enemies, the Jews, they hope to set up all the conditions needed for their savior to return. Actually, Muslim scholars say the Mahdi is “hidden away,” and just waiting for the right time to reveal himself.
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Hitler
It’s important for people to understand that this hatred for the Jews is very dangerous and it spreads very quickly. While Adolf Hitler is well-known for leading the most antisemitic, demonic campaign of destruction against the Jewish people during the Holocaust, many don’t realize that there was an Islamic leader who was very close to him. Hajj Amin al-Husayni, also known as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (under the British Mandate of Palestine from 1921 to 1937), shared Hitler’s disdain and hatred for the Jews. Thus, the two conspired together about plans to wipe them out.
As the head of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Grand Mufti was the foremost Muslim spiritual leader of his day and his influence carried great weight. An admirer of Nazi genocide, this leader embraced Hitler’s murderous plans and brought them to the Middle East. He spread anti-Jewish propaganda, displayed swastikas, and even had plans for death camps (modeled after Auschwitz) which would be used to kill Jews. The Mufti was a Nazi collaborator who was given a large monthly allowance and many assistants to carry out his work. Recordings of the Mufti declare, “Kill the Jews wherever you find them–this is God’s will.”
The Holocaust Museum explains,
“Al-Husayni spoke often of a ‘worldwide Jewish conspiracy’ that controlled the British and US governments and sponsored Soviet Communism. He argued that ‘world Jewry’ aimed to infiltrate and subjugate Palestine, a sacred religious and cultural center of the Arab and Muslim world, as a staging ground for the seizure of all Arab lands. In his vision of the world, the Jews intended to enslave and exploit Arabs, to seize their land, to expropriate their wealth, undermine their Muslim faith and corrupt the moral fabric of their society. He labeled the Jews as the enemy of Islam, and used crude racist terminology to depict Jews and Jewish behavior, particularly as he forged a closer relationship with the SS in 1943 and 1944. He described Jews as having immutable characteristics and behaviors. On occasion, he would compare Jewishness to infectious disease and Jews to microbes or bacilli. In at least one speech attributed to him, he advocated killing Jews wherever Arabs found them. He consistently advocated ‘removing’ the Jewish homeland from Palestine and, on occasion, driving every Jew out of Palestine and other Arab lands.”
Adolf Hitler wrote his book Mein Kampf to explain what he termed “mankind’s struggle against the Jews.” The title actually means My Struggle. The word jihad in Islam has the same meaning, being defined as “striving,” or “struggling.” Hitler believed he was chosen to rid the world of the Jews because they were the root of all evil. In Islam, the same idea is propagated that one must engage in a struggle (fight) with the Jews and infidels until the world is wiped clean of them. Both Hitler and the ideologies of Islam assert that they are doing God’s will. Of course, this is Satan’s will because the Bible is clear that God has never forsaken the Jewish people and has a wonderful plan of redemption for them.
The main issue in America right now is that most people are unaware of what Islam teaches and how it’s a clear threat to both Jews and Christians.
Tucker Carlson Says that Muslims Love Jesus
Sadly, once-conservative commentator Tucker Carlson thinks that “Muslims love Jesus.” This is quite the deception. He apparently has no knowledge of what the Koran or Hadith say (Islam’s Holy Books), or what Islam professes. While Muslims “believe” in Jesus Christ and call him Isa, they do not acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God. Instead, they see him as a prophet and messenger who followed Islam, and revered the god of Islam, not the God of the Bible. Even more revealing is that Muslims do not believe that Jesus was crucified, or that he rose from the dead. Below is an excerpt from the Koran.
“..But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him. Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise”. (Qur’an 4:157-158)
Just those verses are enough to prove that Muslims do not love Jesus—-their version of Jesus is not Jesus Christ who died on the cross for the sins of mankind and rose from the dead to defeat death. Instead, Muslim theology teaches that Allah raised Jesus to himself and took him to heaven.
Of course, the gospel of the Bible implicitly states that Jesus shed his blood, died, and was resurrected so that those who receive Him as Lord and Savior could be washed clean and inherit eternal life without earning it. Jesus paid the price IN FULL and stated on the cross that IT IS FINISHED. Contrast this with Islam which teaches that one must earn their salvation from Allah—eternal life is not guaranteed because Allah must weigh the person’s deeds on his scale. The reason Jesus came to earth is because humans could not, and cannot keep all of the Law, but Islam teaches that their regulations (Sharia law) will help earn favor and eternal life with Allah.
Another key fact to understand about Islam is that a person who dies fighting for Allah, or commits jihad, gets a free pass to Paradise and 70 virgins. Martyrs are even buried in their blood-stained clothes as a badge of honor. If a jihadist dies setting off a bomb that kills people, this is rewarded by Allah. If they run into a building as a suicide bomber and hundreds of men, women, and children are blown apart, then they get their 70 virgins. I’m not sure what women who commit jihad get from Allah since they won’t be needing 70 virgins! Actually Muhammed said that most of them wouldn’t make it to heaven, but if they do somehow earn their way, their greatest reward will be serving men in Paradise!
Surah 101:6–9,11 proclaims, Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds], he will be in a pleasant life. But for one whose scales are light, his refuge will be an abyss. … It is a Fire, intensely hot.
Here’s another piece of info that will reveal the truth about Islam:
Islam.org states, “According with the Quran, the dogma of Trinity is in full conflict with the teachings of Prophet Jesus.”
As you read, Muslims do not believe in the Trinity. They do not believe that Jesus and God are one. They reject the notion of the Holy Spirit. These are all tenets of the Christian faith. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of the Living God dwelling within those who have received Jesus as their Lord and Savior. But this is blasphemy in Islam. The Bible, however, is clear because it declares in Ephesians 1:13-14, “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.”
Notice it says that the Holy Spirit is the DEPOSIT GUARANTEEING OUR INHERITANCE. This means we do not have to worry about “scales,” or deeds to get us into heaven as Islam suggests. And I can assure you that no one is getting 70 virgins in heaven. As a side note, this “70 virgins promise” shows that these are the ideas of men like Muhammed who are overcome by the flesh!
Islam’s End Times Theology
Interestingly enough, Muslims do believe Jesus is coming back, but the reason will shock you as a Christian. Islamic teaching insists that Jesus (who they call Isa) is returning to fight for Islam and to break all the crosses. He will deny the crucifixion and tell the world to follow the god of Islam. According to Islamic eschatology, Jesus will team up with their “savior,” who is called the Mahdi.
There are some eerie similarities between the Mahdi of Islam, and the Antichrist who is written about in the Bible. Here are some examples.
- The Mahdi establishes a 7-year rule on earth, and so does the Antichrist described in the Bible– (the 7-year period is called the Tribulation)
- Both the Mahdi and the Antichrist are supposed to step onto the world scene during a time of great upheaval, instability, and war among nations—-The Mahdi will rule the world under Islam, whereas the Antichrist will assert authority over many nations and attempt to bring everyone together “as one.“
- Both the Mahdi and the Antichrist will persecute those who do not comply with their rules and expectations.
- Both rulers will claim to be peacemakers who will bring order, but they will actually spread war. The Antichrist will make a false peace deal with Israel.
- The Mahdi is expected to establish justice and restore true religion (Islam)- demanding all people to submit to it. The Antichrist described in the Bible will establish a One World Religion (merging all faiths together). He will also demand to be worshiped as God.
- The Mahdi will have a prophet to help him (Islam falsely claims it will be Jesus- but it could be a “false Jesus” who fools people into believing he is the Jesus of the Bible). The Antichrist described in the Bible will work with a false prophet as well. This religious leader will direct people to worship the Antichrist. Those who do not worship him will be killed.
- Revelation 20:4 in the Bible states: “Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.” In Islam, one of the ways that infidels are killed is by cutting off the person’s head.
- The Mahdi will conquer Israel and massacre the Jews. The Antichrist will also take control of Israel and murder Jews.
- In Islam, it is believed that the Mahdi will arrive on a white horse doing signs and wonders. The Bible describes a rider on a white horse in Revelation 6—many scholars identify this rider as the Antichrist. The Antichrist will also perform signs and wonders and even be healed of a fatal wound.
- If you look at the prophecies in Ezekiel 38 and 39, many of the nations mentioned are Muslim countries—-Persia is Iran. Mesech and Tubal could be Turkey, Cush is Sudan (located in Africa), Put is Modern-day Libya, or broader northern Africa. Gomer and Beth Togmarah are likely Turkey. This coalition of Muslim nations will attempt to invade Israel. Thankfully, God intervenes and destroys these enemies.
By the way, ChatGPT stated that the Mahdi is a “righteous, God-guided leader.” I wanted to laugh when I read that, but actually it’s no laughing matter! The truth is that most people are clueless when it comes to the Islamic threat. The Mahdi described in Islam is an evil leader who will set about murdering innocent people.
Do I think the Antichrist will be a Muslim? I don’t know—I do know that many biblical scholars say it could be someone out of Rome, while others identify him as a Muslim (from the Middle East). Obviously, I can’t say for sure, but even if the Antichrist isn’t a Muslim, it’s still possible that Islam could be part of the deception in some way. Regardless, we know that Islamic-led nations are involved in future wars such as the War of Gog and Magog, and they are currently being used to spread terror and chaos around the world.
The War with Iran
Currently we’ve been knee-deep in the Iranian war and our leaders are trying to negotiate with this Islamic nation. What nobody seems to understand is that negotiating with Iran is a losing battle. WHY? Because the religion Iran follows is Shia Islam. This form of Islam is Hell-bent on standing their ground against infidels whatever the cost. The religious dogma followed by Iran’s leaders is one which demands that they never surrender, or give in. In fact, their goal is to stir up world-wide chaos because this is how their Mahdi is summoned.
In the Christian faith we know that we cannot control when Jesus will return. Not so in Islam (particularly Shia Islam). They believe they can make their savior the Mahdi come back through their actions. The more destruction and chaos they create–the more they fight the infidels–the bigger the chance that their Mahdi will come to save the day. Muslims believe that the Mahdi has been “hidden” for centuries, but will emerge at just the right time when the world needs him.
A LESSON FROM THE BARBARY PIRATES
It’s important to look at our nation’s history and experience with Islam so that we heed the lessons from those times. Most people have never heard of the Barbary Pirates, but every American should understand who they are and what they stood for so they can understand Islam’s purpose.
When America broke free from Great Britain, she was on her own when it came to the high seas. Before the war, the colonies had enjoyed the protection which came from the British because the Crown paid hefty sums of money to the Barbary pirates in exchange for them leaving their ships alone. But after the Revolution, that protection was gone. The shipping routes were littered with vicious pirates who wanted to take advantage of ships filled with valuable cargo.
The Barbary pirates hailed from the Barbary states of Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and parts of Morocco. These pirates operated under the orders of their Muslim rulers from cities like Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. These pirates who followed the tenets of Islam boarded ships, seized cargo, demanded ransoms, and captured people to sell into slavery. Many sailors were taken captive, imprisoned or beheaded. The ransoms demanded for sailors and/or cargo was high. For a long time, the newly formed United States paid these pirates. In 1795 alone, the government paid these thieves and murderers nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS. In previous years, hundreds of thousands of dollars were paid, including cannons, ships, and other goods. In fact, some historians estimate that the U.S. paid 10-20% of their annual revenue to appease the pirates.
Thomas Jefferson, the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, and our nation’s third president, knew these Muslim pirates were not only dangerous, but a major threat to America. He was against these blood payments and wrote many letters and documents advising against them. Jefferson believed America should fight the pirates, rather than appease them. At one point the frustrated leader traveled to London to negotiate a treaty with Tripoli’s ambassador. Jefferson specifically asked why the pirates were attacking American ships and declaring war on the new nation. The Muslim ambassador bluntly stated that it was written in their Koran that all nations who did not acknowledge the Prophet Muhammed through Islam were sinners. Since Americans were “sinners” and infidels, they had the right to enslave, kill, and plunder them. Additionally, the ambassador stated that any Muslim killed while fighting the Americans would go straight to “paradise.”
Upon hearing from Tripoli’s ambassador, Jefferson realized that paying the pirates would not bring peace, but more attacks instead. Since the pirates saw Americans as enemies of Islam, there was no amount of appeasement that would work. Jefferson wasn’t president when he first dealt with this situation, but he alerted Congress that negotiating with terrorists was a dead end. He suggested that all payments to the pirates stop immediately.
Even after Jefferson’s warnings, the government continued paying the pirates. It wasn’t until Jefferson became president in 1801 that he put an end to the blood money. When he did, the state of Tripoli declared war on the United States on May 14, and chopped down the American flagpole at the consulate. Jefferson didn’t cave to the pressure. He sent the Navy to the Mediterranean. It took 14 years of fighting on and off to fully stop the pirates. The last Barbary war ended in July 1815.
The moral of the story is this: YOU CAN’T NEGOTIATE WITH THOSE WHO WHOLEHEARTEDLY FOLLOW ISLAM.
In the end, radical Islamic leaders see Christians and people who do not follow Islam as enemies and infidels. Money is not their motivation. They seek power, authority, and conquest. Appeasing the Barbary pirates just egged them on, and emboldened their cause.
As a nation we cannot just appease Islam in our government, schools, and communities. Those who follow Islam can practice their religion peacefully, but they cannot force Americans to accept or follow it. If we allow Islam to gain too many footholds, we are inviting more attacks, and eventually conquest. This is not a religious system that tolerates non-Muslims.
We also cannot negotiate with terrorists like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and ISIS. Their mindset is one of murder, submission, and conquest. This is why “standing with the Palestinians” makes no sense. The majority of the Palestinians in Gaza follow Islam and have the same belief systems. Islam’s goal is to wipe out the Jews and infidels so there is no way to truly negotiate with them.
To be clear, I do not believe all Muslims want to force Islam on America and the world. I know there are many who want nothing to do with violence. But the truth is that Islam is a false religion that was created by a warmonger named Muhammed. This man never claimed to be the son of God. He did, however, claim to see an “angel of light” who gave him divine revelations. These so-called revelations were to kill, plunder, enslave, and harm those who do not follow Islam. This is the exact opposite of what Jesus Christ taught. This is just one way we know that Islam is not a religion of peace, and it’s certainly not from God. Muhammed’s angel of light was Satan himself—Lucifer.
If I lived in a country where Islam was the law of the land, I would be killed for typing this blogpost. Anyone who read it would be considered a traitor of Islam.
My prayer is that even the most radical leaders in Islam would have dreams and visions where they see Jesus Christ and realize that He is not just a prophet–He is the Son of God. Muslims do believe that visions and dreams can be from God so this is often the way that the Lord reveals Himself to them. I pray that many Muslims would come to know Jesus as their Savior and realize they are enslaved to a man-made religion inspired by Satan—the ultimate deceiver.
For more info about Islam, here is an article I wrote back in 2023 after the attacks on Israel which explains the tenets of Islam and how violence and terrorism are a cornerstone of it.
Also, here is a recent teaching from Rock Harbor Church which highlights the dangers of Islam.
Additionally, here is an article I wrote about the alliance that has formed between Islam and Socialism. It is quite insane to realize that liberals have formed a brotherhood with Muslims who practice Islam. After all, Islam rejects liberalism (especially feminism, LGBTQ lifestyles, and promiscuity). Yet, this irrational relationship exists! The reason for this alliance is because both groups have the same goal: to destroy Christianity.
Also, here’s some links where you can read about or watch Mosab Hassan Yousef— he is the son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef—- LINK ONE LINK TWO LINK THREE—-he has an eye-opening perspective on Islam because he grew up under a father who is a terrorist. Thankfully, Mosab eventually rejected the violence of Islam and now he warns the world about it.
