Islamic doctrine divides the world into two kinds of people—Muslims and Kafirs. In fact, over half of Islamic doctrine is about how Muslims should treat Kafirs, making it political, not religious.

Islam is built on the principles of submission and dualism. The very word Islam means submission. It does not mean peace. But submission to what and who submits?

The submission must be to the doctrine of Islam. The doctrine starts with the Koran, which says that all of the world must pattern every detail of their life on what Mohammed said and did, the Sunna. All of the world must submit to the Koran and the Sunna of Mohammed. Another way of saying this is that all of the world must submit to be ruled by the Sharia.

The Koran and the Hadith say that all of the world, every single person, must submit to Islam and obey the Sharia. So the concept of submission is absolutely totalitarian. All other forms of government and religion and philosophy are man-made and must be replaced by Islam.

Everyone has heard the categories of Muslim and non-Muslim or Kafir, but few have heard of Islam’s third social category, the dhimmi. Under Islamic rule, Christians and Jews could convert to Islam and become full citizens. If they chose to remain a Christian or Jew, they could pay a special tax, called the jizyah and become a semi-slave called a dhimmi. In addition to the semi-slave status, a dhimmi is humiliated and subjugated.

The first dhimmis were the Jews of Khaybar. After their defeat by Mohammed, they lost their land and possessions and had to live under Sharia law. The Jews continued to farm the land, but had to give Mohammed half of their income, the jizyah tax.

It was the dhimmi status which caused the collapse of Christianity in places like the Middle East and Turkey.

Today the word dhimmi is also applied to those who are apologists for Islam. Dhimmitude is the mental condition of those who are not Muslims, yet support Islam in the media and politics.

Politics affects our everyday lives, whether we are involved or not. Political decisions affect how much tax we pay, the rules we follow, and the lives we lead. It influences our dress, culture, and way of life. The very freedoms men and especially women enjoy in non-Islamic societies stem from non-Islamic political systems and thought.

However, Islam is a complete civilization, a religion, a culture, and a political system. Its political system has a special interest in you-irrespective of your interest in it. We call this system - Political Islam. This interest is so profound that 51% of Islamic doctrine is devoted to the Kafir (non-Muslim). This doctrine comes from the Koran, Hadith, and Sira, the trilogy of its sacred texts.

The politics of Islam prove problematic to Kafir women, as its doctrine violates our laws and systems, which are based on the principles of equality for all and freedom of speech and thought.

There are two sections of the Koran (Meccan and Medinan); this allows the doctrine to treat women in a dualistic way. There are verses that praise the mother above all men and say that women and men will be judged equally as to their actions on Judgment Day. At the same time, 71% of the Koran states that a woman has a lower status than a man. In the Hadith, 91% of the text states that a woman has lower status than a man.

According to the Islamic doctrine, every woman is lower than a man, and every Kafir woman is lower than a woman who follows Islam. Also, a Kafir woman can be used as a sex-slave and raped; this is morally acceptable in Islam, as Mohammed himself had non-Muslim captives whom he used as sex-slaves.

The Koran and the Sunna (Mohammed’s perfect pattern of life)are to be followed by all humanity. The trouble is that the Koran and the Sunna are not arranged in a way that allows easy interpretation. The Sharia is the codification of the knowledge of the Koran and Sunna.

Sharia is frequently called law, Sharia law. However, the Sharia covers much more than legal issues. It also covers theology, prayer, charity and fasting. There is no aspect of life that the Sharia does not cover. It includes sex, how to say hello, and how to prepare a will.

One of the most important things about the Sharia is that it is considered to be Allah’s law and is superior to man-made law. Islamic law should rule over the Kafir, as well as the Muslim. For example, Muslims make demands that our culture change to accommodate Islam. Muslim factory workers demand time off for prayer. During Ramadan fasting, demands are made for Kafirs to not eat in front of Muslims. One of the main fronts for accommodation to Sharia is to establish separate courts for family law. The problem is that the accommodation to the Sharia has no end.

The Sharia has different schools of thought that differ on small issues. However, all of the schools agree on the need for jihad and the inferior status of Christians, Jews, atheists and other Kafirs. Kafirs are forbidden by Sharia to contradict or argue about the Koran and the Sunna or criticize Mohammed. Historically, it is the Sharia which annihilates Christianity and other religions.

Mohammed is known by his biography, the Sira, and his traditions, the Hadith. There is no mention of him in historical records of his day. It is strange that a man could become the first ruler of a unified Arabia and not have any notice by anyone outside of Islam. He is mentioned four times by name in the Koran. Instead, he is frequently referred to by the titles Messenger and Prophet. Islam calls him the final prophet.

He was an orphan who became a successful businessman. In his forties he reported that he had visions and heard voices of the angel Gabriel, which brought him the words of the only god of the universe, Allah. The reported words were recorded in memory and written forms were called the Koran.

The Koran says in 89 verses that Mohammed is the most perfect man who has lived and that he is the divine human prototype for all of humanity.

A brief summary of Mohammed’s career is that he preached the religion of Islam for 13 years in Mecca and converted 150 Arabs to Islam. He was a divisive man and the Meccans drove him out of town. He went to Medina and became a politician and jihadist. During the last 9 years of his life, he averaged a jihad event every 6 weeks. When he died in 632 CE, every Arab had converted to Islam due to jihad.

Mohammed was the most successful warrior in history. All other military leaders’ influence stopped after their death, but Mohammed has inspired war for 1400 years and it continues today. He was also the most successful law giver. His legal code, the Sharia, is the oldest active form of law.

The Koran claims that it is the exact, precise words of the only god of the universe. It claims to be perfect, complete, final, eternal, universal and is without a single error. Its putative messenger is Mohammed. The story of the Koran is that the archangel Gabriel spoke to Mohammed and delivered the exact words of Allah. The Koran is true because it says that it is true. Mohammed reported its content after “hearing” a voice. The transmission of the Koran unfolded over 23 years.

The Koran is actually two books, the early Koran written in Mecca and a later Koran written in Medina, The Meccan Koran is religious, but the Medinan Koran is very political, legal and devotes nearly a quarter of its words to jihad.

The summary message of the Meccan Koran is that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah and humanity must submit to Allah. The message of the Medinan Koran is that if you do not believe that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah, you can be harmed.

Readers of the Koran find it to be difficult and contradictory. One of the key principles of the Koran is that if two verses contradict each other, the later verse is stronger and better than the earlier verse. The process of determining which verse is stronger or better is defined as abrogation. The problem with this is that the Koran is not arranged in any kind of chronological order, so knowing which verse is better is confusing. The Koran is highly repetitive, with stories being repeated many times. Most of the stories are incomplete and details change with repetition.

One of the difficulties of understanding Islam is the contradictions that appear. Islam is called the religion of peace, but beheadings under the cry of “Allahu akbar” are common news items. There are peaceful Koran verses such as “let there be no compulsion in religion” which seem contradictory to verses calling for violence against non-Muslims.

Kafirs ask which one is the real Islam. But this question dodges the evidence. Islam is built on contradictions. Both sides of the contradictions are correct. This dualism defines Islam. Islam is built on two principles—dualism and submission.

The first step in learning about Islam is to know the right words. The language of Islam is dualistic. There is a division of humanity into believer and kafir (unbeliever). Humanity is divided into those who believe Mohammed is the prophet of Allah and those who do not.

Kafir is an actual word the Koran uses for non-Muslims. It is usually translated as unbeliever or infidel, but that translation is wrong. The word unbeliever is neutral, while the attitude of the Koran towards unbelievers is very negative. The Koran defines the Kafir as hated by Allah. A Muslim is never the true friend of a Kafir. Kafirs can be enslaved, raped, beheaded, plotted against, terrorized, and humiliated. A Kafir is not a full human.

When you read the complete Islamic doctrine of Koran, Sira (the biography of Mohammed), and the Hadith (the traditions of Mohammed), you will find that Islam is fixated on the Kafir. Over half of the Koran is about the Kafir, not Muslims. It is the stated purpose of the Islamic textual doctrine to annihilate every Kafir by conversion, subjugation or death. Jihad can be waged against the Kafir.

Kafir is the worst word in any language. Other words can be hurtful, but those words are personal and are a personal opinion. But, Kafir is the word used by Allah. So the hatred in the word Kafir is sacred, the hate of Allah.

Political Islam has a growing impact on our everyday life and presents a significant challenge to the cornerstones of non-Islamic society. Every day, we are witness to violence, suppression and growing political demands in the name of Islam. Very often, we also hear that similar actions are but a misinterpretation of the Islamic ideology and that the true Islam is something completely different. What is the true nature of Islam? This can be revealed in a statistical analysis of the source texts of Islam conducted by American scientist Dr. Bill Warner.

Putting the Islamic doctrine to statistical analysis is a reliable method that sheds light on the true nature of these texts and brings significant data into the discussion about Political Islam. For instance, we can easily describe how the Islamic doctrine approaches the Kafir or what status it attributes to women. We do not need to rely on opinions of political, academic or spiritual authorities any more. We can use facts now.
