Islam Is Jewish
by Kurt Saxon
Nearly a billion and a half Muslims revere the Jewish Bible, Old and New Testaments. They claim the Old Testament's Jewish heroes as their own. They accept the New Testament's Jewish Savior as their prophet. They even call the Jewish God "Allah", as if the obscure Arabian tribal god and the God of the Jews and Christians were one and the same. They believe the Jews' angel, Gabriel, dictated the Koran to Mohammed.
They believe Ishmael, a son of Abraham, uncle of Jacob, renamed "Israel" and great-uncle of Judah, from whom we get the term "Jew", founded the Arab race.
Muslims are a people whose main object of hatred, the Jews, were the source of nearly their entire belief system.
Islam is indeed Jewish, and every Muslim is only a secondhand Jew.
When Mohammed decided to mold the Arabs into a force, he chose religion as the way to bring them together. The Arabs were scattered bands of nomads with no organized religion. Their religious ideas were various ancient myths. Their gods, one of which was Allah, were tribal gods, much as described in the Old Testament. Mohammed elevated Allah, the minor tribal god to the supreme position. But he lacked the authority to relate a new Bible. He chose Gabriel, an angel from the Jewish Bible to dictate the Koran.
But Gabriel was an angel of the Biblical Lord, not a promoter of a faith contrary to the Lord's Bible. (Dan. 8: 16 and Luke 1:19-37)
The Arabs were pagans with no written history or many-faceted stories as the Biblical account of Abraham and his descendants. So the writers of the Koran had to borrow great sections of the Jewish Bible, perverting it and falsely claiming it as their own, even including as their own the biblical God.*
The last book of the Bible, Revelations, was written long before the Koran.
As the Jews claim Abraham as the founder of their families, Muslims claim Ishmael as the founder of the Arab nations.
Whether one wants to call the people of the Bible Hebrews, Israelites or Jews, it's works were collected, written, maintained and believed in by Jews. The Bible is a Jewish work.
Ishmael may not have been a Jew in the strictest sense, but he was of the same family.* Nuts falling from the same tree are of the same family.
Muslims claim a split between Ishmael and his family. The Bible describes Ishmael as the black sheep of the family. (Gen. 16:12). Verse 12 also says, "and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren", no split at all.
In Gen. 17:20 it says that Ishmael would have twelve sons and they would become a great nation. Yet, of the twelve sons named in Gen. 25:13-15 and 1 Chron: 1:29-31, not one was named elsewhere. hardly an indication that his sons became any great nation. Also, Gen. 25:17 says that Ishmael died at the age of 137 and was gathered unto his people; not Arabs, not the families of his sons. but his Biblical brethren. He never went far.
So there is no historical, Biblical or logical reason to believe that Ishmael split from his family or established any nation.
A reading of the index to the Koran, (the links to which can be found at the bottom of this web page), should prove to anyone that the Biblical excerpts were clumsily interfaced among the chapters of the Koran.*
Where would Islam be without the Jewish Bible?
Wanted: someone to translate this article into Arabic.
