Salafi

12/12/2006

Salafi (Ancestor) Islam (Submission) is the Islam of Muhammad (Islam's lone prophet and Allah's singular voice). It is the Islam recorded in the Qur'an (Recital from ar-Rahman and Allah), in the Hadith (Oral Reports from the Salafi regarding Muhammad), the Sira (Biography of Muhammad), and Ta'rikh (History of Islam's Formation). Salafi Islam is indistinguishable from Sunnah (Example of Muhammad that is the basis of all Islamic nations and cultures). Salafi Islam provides the entire basis of Sharia Law - the most repressive and anti-democratic legal system in the world). Based upon polling data from Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Lebanon, and the recent Palestinian elections, sixty to seventy percent of Muslims worldwide are Salafists. That means that fundamentalist Islam, the Islam of virtually all terrorists, is not a fringe movement. Salafi Islam is the purest form of Islam, based entirely upon the oldest and most authentic Islamic sources, so it is the antithesis of a corruption of the religion. Salafist Muslims surrender to Allah's, Muhammad's, and the Qur'an's authority so they are the opposite of insurgents(meaning those who rebel against authority). While Salafist Muslims highjacked airplanes and turned them into weapons of mass destruction, the terrorists have not highjacked their religion.

Until you come to understand what the five oldest sources reveal about Muhammad, Allah, and Islam (those being the Qur'an, Ishaq's Sira, Tabari's Ta'rikh, and Bukhari's and Muslim's Hadith Collections) you have no chance whatsoever of understanding Islamic terrorism or how to combat it. In fact, like the president of the United States, if you speak out or lash out without first coming to understand Salafi Islam, you will do far more harm than good. It is why I wrote Prophet of Doom - Islam's Terrorist Dogma in Muhammad's Own Words before composing this terrorist timeline.

The Saud Wahhabi warlords oppressing the indoctrinated fiefdom of Saudi Arabia are resolutely Salafists. That is why Saudi Arabia is one of the world's leading terrorist manufacturing facilities. It is why 85% of the 9/11 suicide bombers were Saudi subjects. Al-Qaeda is Salafist and Wahhabist, and thus is lock step with the Islamic educational and religious system entrenched in Saudi Arabia. Al-Qaeda (the Base) is a spiritual religious association and not an organization based upon race, geography, or infrastructure. Osama bin Laden's authority comes from Islam. Among al-Qaeda's four founding fathers you will find a Saudi, a Pakistani, a Palestinian, and an Egyptian.

The second most significant contributor to Islamic terrorism is Pakistan, where the dictatorial government of General Musharaf is Salafist. Pakistan's mosques and madrassas have manufactured as many, if not more, terrorists than even Saudi Arabia. They are responsible for the Taliban - the fundamentalist regime harboring al-Qaeda before the leadership actually moved into Pakistan. Taliban chief Mullah Omar was trained in the Binori Mosque Madrassa in Karachi. The head of Pakistan's ISI intelligence service, Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad, not only provided the funds, arms, and direction to the Taliban, he and they provided direct wire transfers to Muhammad Atta, the 9/11 ringleader, immediately before he murdered 3,000 Americans. Pakistan is the home of Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Muhammad, the men most believe conceived the first and second World Trade Center bombings.

The third member of the Salafist Trinity may take you by surprise. It is the Shia mullahs who lord over Iran. Shia Islam is Salafi Islam. All five of Islam's earliest and most authoritative sources, including the Qur'an, are Shi'ite in origin. The Islamic clerics who control Iran are Salafists - as are the poisonous anti-Semitic words which pour out of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's mouth. But the moment you recognize this reality, all hope of victory in Afghanistan and Iraq dissipates. By way of the Taliban, Pakistan still controls neighboring Afghanistan. And by way of Shi'ite clerics like al-Sadr and the Ayatollah al-Sistani, Iran now controls neighboring Iraq.

A salafi is a "fundamentalist" Muslim. Salaf's literal translation from Arabic to English is "predecessors" and thus it is reasonably synonymous with the biblical concept of "disciple." A Salafi is a good and true Muslim. Those who disregard the Salaf are, according to the Qur'an (read the 9th and 33rd surahs), "hypocrites" and "pretenders" who have ceased to be Muslims. This is the opposite of what people in America and the West are being told about Islam and terrorism.

So that there isn't any doubt regarding who a Salafi is, let's turn to the most authoritative source on Islamic terminology. According to The Concise Encyclopedia of Islam, a salaf is: "a first generation Muslim, considered by later generations to be the most authoritative source for Islamic practice and guidance. The comments of these first Muslims are used to elucidate questions whose solutions are not explicit in the Qur'an and in the Sunnah. The salaf cover three generations: that of the Companions of the Prophet, that of the Tabi'um, or Successors who knew the Companions, and that of the Taba'at-Tabi'in, or the Successor's Successors. Each generation's testimony is less authoritative. The Wahhabis do not accord a special validity to the opinions and practices of any authority after the Tabi'un, and regard all practices introduced after that time to be unwarranted innovation.".

Salaf is a term I wish everyone in the world knew. If they did Islam's most deadly myth would be obliterated. America's politicians, media, scholars, and clerics most all say that "the terrorists are radicals who are practicing a corrupted interpretation of Islam." The overt and misleading implication is that "true Islam is good and peaceful religion," suggesting that "we are not at war with Islam." Actually, the opposite is true. Islamic terrorists are salafi, and thus they are fundamentalists. They make this perfectly clear during their public statements. It is the "peaceful Islamic moderates" who are actually Islamic radicals, having corrupted Islam to suit their sensibilities.

The moment a person comes to understand that salafi, or fundamentalist Islam, is the religion presented in Muhammad's Qur'an, Ishaq's Sira, Tabari's History, and Bukhari's Hadith (all brought together in Prophet of Doom), they will instantly understand that salaf fundamentalist Islam is the sole motivation for Islamic terrorism. That being irrefutable, it means that every American politician, media spokesperson, scholar, and cleric who speaks on the subject of Islam and terrorism, including the President of the United States, is lying. That being the case, the Iraq war was counterproductive, because America replaced a secular dictator with a fundamentalist Islamic government. Even worse, since America and the West have transferred 10 trillion dollars to the Salafi OPEC clerics and warlords who control the Middle Eastern Islamic countries, it means we have financed our own funeral.

Let me give you an example of how bad all this really is. In 1744, the salafi Islamic fundamentalist Wahhab signed an oath of allegiance with a regional Islamic warlord named Muhammad ibn Al Saud. The current Saudi kings and princes are his grandchildren. In their sworn oath, they agreed to establish a state, and then a world, ruled according to Islam, and thus in accordance with Muhammad's words and deeds as they were passed along by the Salafs. In 1932, Great Britain established this fiefdom by giving the Arabian Peninsula to the Saud fundamentalist Islamic warlords. Since that time they have done more to manufacture terrorists than any regime in the world.

And today it's too late to deal with them because the Salafi OPEC thugs now control so much American currency and so many American companies, should they withdraw their investment in dollars and stock, America would instantly be plunged into a depression far more severe than 1929.

The Qur'an itself is a salaf book. First recited by Muhammad starting around 610 CE, it was retained exclusively in the minds of the Salaf, the first generation of Muslims, Muhammad's Companions. They passed it on orally to the Successors, and they passed it on orally to the Successors' Successors. The first extant written copy of the Qur'an dates to the early 8th century, over 100 years, or four generations of salaf, after it was initially recited orally.

If you want more proof that Ishaq, Tabari, Bukhari, and Muslim are also salaf, and thus original Islamic sources, read the "Islam's Dark Past" Source Material Appendix to Prophet of Doom. I present a scholarly review of Islam's prime reading materials at the outset of that chapter. What you will therefore find, is that there are no old, authentic, or reliable non-salaf Islamic sources. Anything that is said about Islam that isn't salaf is thus inaccurate revisionism - a corrupted interpretation, or hijacked version, of the religion.

I've partially demonstrated here, and I prove conclusively in the book, that the salafi sources are universally violent and immoral. Therefore, Islam is violent and immoral. It is why Muslims kill. It is why Muslims deceive. It is what you need to know about Islam to protect yourself from it.
