The Achtiname of Muhammad – 626 AD
They may have a profitable business model, but ISIS and other Muslim extremists who persecute Christians are disobeying a direct order from Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
Specifically, in 626 AD, Muhammad issued The Achtiname of Muhammad, also known as the Covenant or (Holy) Testament (Testamentum) of the Prophet Muhammad.
The Achtiname – shown above – ordered Muslims to protect and defend Christians, and condemned as sinners Muslims who mistreated Christians:
This is a letter which was issued by Mohammed, Ibn Abdullah, the Messenger, the Prophet, the Faithful, who is sent to all the people as a trust on the part of God to all His creatures, that they may have no plea against God hereafter. Verily God is the Mighty, the Wise. This letter is directed to the embracers of Islam, as a covenant given to the followers of Nazarene [i.e. Christians] in the East and West, the far and near, the Arabs and foreigners, the known and the unknown.
This letter contains the oath given unto them, and he who disobeys that which is therein will be considered a disobeyer and a transgressor to that whereunto he is commanded. He will be regarded as one who has corrupted the oath of God, disbelieved His Testament, rejected His Authority, despised His Religion, and made himself deserving of His Curse, whether he is a Sultan or any other believer of Islam. Whenever monks, devotees and pilgrims gather together, whether in a mountain or valley, or den, or frequented place, or plain, or church, or in houses of worship, verily we are [at the] back of them and shall protect them, and their properties and their morals, by Myself, by My Friends and by My Assistants, for they are of My Subjects and under My Protection.
I shall exempt them from that which may disturb them; of the burdens which are paid by others as an oath of allegiance. They must not give anything of their income but that which pleases them—they must not be offended, or disturbed, or coerced or compelled. Their judges should not be changed or prevented from accomplishing their offices, nor the monks disturbed in exercising their religious order, or the people of seclusion be stopped from dwelling in their cells.
No one is allowed to plunder the pilgrims, or destroy or spoil any of their churches, or houses of worship, or take any of the things contained within these houses and bring it to the houses of Islam. And he who takes away anything therefrom, will be one who has corrupted the oath of God, and, in truth, disobeyed His Messenger.
Poll-taxes should not be put upon their judges, monks, and those whose occupation is the worship of God; nor is any other thing to be taken from them, whether it be a fine, a tax or any unjust right. Verily I shall keep their compact, wherever they may be, in the sea or on the land, in the East or West, in the North or South, for they are under My Protection and the testament of My Safety, against all things which they abhor.
No taxes or tithes should be received from those who devote themselves to the worship of God in the mountains, or from those who cultivate the Holy Lands. No one has the right to interfere with their affairs, or bring any action against them. Verily this is for aught else and not for them; rather, in the seasons of crops, they should be given a Kadah for each Ardab of wheat (about five bushels and a half) as provision for them, and no one has the right to say to them this is too much, or ask them to pay any tax.
As to those who possess properties, the wealthy and merchants, the poll-tax to be taken from them must not exceed twelve drachmas a head per year [according to Wikipedia, about 200 modern U.S. dollars].
They shall not be imposed upon by anyone to undertake a journey, or to be forced to go to wars or to carry arms; for the Islams have to fight for them. Do no dispute or argue with them, but deal according to the verse recorded in the Koran, to wit: ‘Do not dispute or argue with the People of the Book but in that which is best’ [29:46]. Thus they will live favored and protected from everything which may offend them by the Callers to religion (Islam), wherever they may be and in any place they may dwell.
Should any Christian woman be married to a Musulman [i.e. Muslim], such marriage must not take place except after her consent, and she must not be prevented from going to her church for prayer. Their churches must be honored and they must not be withheld from building churches or repairing convents.
They must not be forced to carry arms or stones; but the Islams must protect them and defend them against others. It is positively incumbent upon every one of the Islam nation not to contradict or disobey this oath until the Day of Resurrection and the end of the world.
(This is the Haddad translation; other translations here.)
ISIS and other Islamic terrorists are not true Muslims, and they have disobeyed a direct order of Muhammad.
No wonder the majority of Muslims all over the world condemn them.
Nice job rubbing their faces in their own hypocrisy.
Yes sure Isis are not Muslims
and Hamas is not a terror organization
Clearly the plan is working. Most of the people posting comments have been and are continually being brain washed. It always struck me how people pick and choose what is being said by their government as true. Hasn't it kinda all been proven to be false, or at the very least opinion forming/leading? Kinda like something else... Oh yea,... religion. The ultimate in contradiction and mass population control.
You guys are pretty damn funny. So high and mighty on knowledge, but when it comes to religion you respond emotionally and without thought.
Another win for the masters of the current system.
General McInerney's Fox News Appearance, Just More Fear-mongering or False Flag Warning?
http://winteractionables.com/?p=14063
I have a slightly different definition of what a muslim is. If you treat your women as chattel, long for sex with your goat when your daughter is having her period, and fear your neighbors when you miss prayer time, you must be a muslim.
You might be the new Jeff Foxworthy of the muslim world....I would recommend that you not go on tour though.
George, pls take your meds, you're getting delusional.
Of course he is. Like all the other freaks who think WTC7 was full of explosives.
Like dropping TWO 110 story buildings around it wouldn't compromise its foundation just a wee bit.
talk it over with Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth)
- or are you the expert here?
http://www.ae911truth.org/en/about-us.html
awake
Shhhhhh.... let's just tip-toe around this one so we don't wake him up.
"wouldn't compromise its foundation just a wee bit."
The laws of physics say freefall acceleration, even if only for the first few seconds, requires zero resistance and for a building to come down in a straight line at freefall, even if only for the first few seconds, requires zero resistance at the same elevation at the exact same time across the whole building.
I don't know about the other two but WTC7 was obviously a controlled demolition.
Lots of those kinds of freaks on parade here at ZH.
I'm not certain if delusional is the correct word, but he certainly is applying an impossible standard. If adherents to a religion are only true adherents if they follow every single word and thought of the basis of that religion, then there are absolutely no true Christians in the world. Not now, not ever.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." That's in the New Testament. Along with "There are none righteous, no, not one."
Jesus said that anyone who looked at a woman lustfully is guilty of adultery. That lets out an awful lot of men who proclaim themselves Christian. He also said that being angry (loose translation) with someone is akin to murdering them. Those are just two of the ways I fail to be a Christian by George's standard, yet I consider myself to be one.
Just go back to bashing the DC-Wall Street oligarchy, George.
Well I think that you may have hit the mark accidentally.
The Roman Catholics were not acting as Christians back in the Crusades.
Evil people use Religion as a justification for their deeds.
Now that does not mean that the Religion is corrupt.
It means that the people whom are using the Religion as the justification for their evil deeds are corrupt.
Jesus said, "Do GOOD to those who persecute you for My Name's sake." I never read once where he instructed the Christian to crush the infidel.
He never said, "Go into the World and if they refuse to convert to my system then kill them."
In this document Muhammad said, and I paraphrase, that the Christians were not to be harmed or abused.
People whom declare themselves as Muslim need to follow that Muhammad's teaching, just as people whom declare themselves as Christians need to follow Christ Jesus' teaching.
I am certain that many fail and that the path to destruction is wide, whereas, the path to salvation is narrow.
Perhaps the word that George Washington used, "true", was a misuse of that word.
Perhaps the word which needed to have been used was "FAITHFUL", or, "LOYAL".
The followers of ISIS are not FAITHFUL Muslims. Does that make better sense?
So this means that Mosques which act as propaganda sites and armories for terrorists aren't true Muslim places of worship and should be considered valid military targets? Works for me.
Brilliant!
George, George, George, you used to be entertaining, and even a little educational, but, you are out to lunch on this one.
ISIS, Islamic State, Caliphate. If it looks like a muslim, smells like a muslim and treats women like a muslim, guess what?
IT'S A MUSLIM
The original wasn't even that good. Not sure why they bothered with a remake.
Rock, paper stones to decide the "original", much less the meaning of the "original".
Asherah, Baal, El more like. 123 go.....
this version of al-cia-duh has to be bigger, badder... media savy, and with adherents recruited from the U.S. and across Europe... that way big brother can declare war in the homeland soon... when the terror reappears in the homeland.
And then the Crusades happened.
The Isis conspiracy has been in planning for a while. See this early reference by Bill Clinton!

GW shows his true colors at last
no surprise
As what? A truthseeker perhaps? Can't have that in a zioqueer controlled media circus.
Nope. As a troll. A concern troll, to be specific.
Nope. As the wierd liberal tool that he is.
Don't worry GW, they'll cut your head off last.
Written like a true attorney. But, the message is clear, isn't it? Similar to what Jesus said, "Love your brother as you love yourself." - the second of his two commandments.
Wait - the essence of your continuous commentary is U.S. bad, muslim good and now ISIS bad because they're not muslim.
Give it a rest. You can OD on kool aid. And these ragheads gladly kill others each and every day without bothering to consult the rulebook.
You forgot your /sarc rag.
All the people mentioned above have a delusional belief in a Magic Sky Daddy and have killed millions of people because of these beliefs. Never mind the War On Cancer, we need to find a cure for religion.
We have had all kinds of "cures" for religion. Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany come to mind.
Idiot.
Far more harm to fellow humans has been done by those who were atheists, like Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. Hitler was an occultist, it seems, so probably he fits in that category. Yes, people have been killed in the name of religion. Speaking only for Christianity, I defy anyone to show anything Jesus said (and please don't take anything out of context) that would justify those actions. The Inquisition, the atrocities carried out against the Huegenots (and similar actions at other times and in other places) and other misdeeds attriguted to Christians were not based on the religious tenets per se, but on human depravity.
The religious wars and european history does not appear to be one of your strong points.

Indeed. Why would psychopaths gravitating to centers of power come as a surprise
to anyone on ZH. The leadership of ISIS is no different than the ones that hijacked
christianity for a while. We don't blame christians per se, just as we should not blame
muslims per se, for the actions of their psychopaths. I've known some fine muslims,
and although a little different ,they want the same things in life as anybody else.
Peace, family, and prosperity. In that order.
"All the people mentioned above have a delusional belief in a Magic Sky Daddy"
Says the guy with a artist rendering of a what? a Magic Sky Daddy that he has never seen but what? believes in?
Well played, Sir...
And kleptocrats are not parasites.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck...
This letter has about as much authority and relevance for Muslims as the constitution has for Americans. See: IRS
If it looks liike a rag head goat fucker, and it beheads people like a jihadi looking for 72 virgins, it is probably a murderous Islamic ISIS goatfucker who'd kill all these Leftist apologists in the time it takes to pull out his prayer rug.
How about Boko Haram, Al Qaida, Hamas, Hesbalah and the Islamic Jihad? what is their religion?
"How about Boko Haram, Al Qaida, Hamas, Hesbalah and the Islamic Jihad? what is their religion?"
They's all JEWS I tell ya'! JEWS!
extremists to start with. after that it doesn't matter. could they be compared to conquistadors, with a different agenda?
Boko Haram. Those guys really broke bad after "A Whiter Shade of Pale."
I thought it was "Conquistador".
Scoff, scoff.
"Conquistador"...just another paean to the white, male, Eurocentric hegemony!
Actually, lt was probably "Whisky Train" that did it;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC6cU4a4C1w
I don't even know what paean means, but that's a badass song either way. You gonna deny me some blue-eyed soul? Not your junk, though. I may reply, I may green, but I never junk.
Ok I looked it up! A song of praise or triumph? No dude, they were making fun of the Conquistador, as we should be.
Next time you come into contact with a politician, smile and point and laugh your ass off! Fucks with their heads.
Thanks for spelling 'hegemony' correctly, it may delay your date with the guillotine.
I expect to be long gone before you reach any sense of awareness. Prepare accordingly.
ISIS Are NOT Muslims
George....yes they are.....and I'm really getting really tired of the politically correct media bullshit.
To the shores of Tripoli......do a little research George. We've been having trouble with these non-muslims for quite a long time now.
This has to be one of the most asinine articles on the subject of ISIS that I've seen in a while, and that's saying something. The entire contorted argument is that they don't follow one teaching of the religion's founder and all of a sudden they're some new animal that we're supposed to believe is entirely different from the animal that they directly claim to be. Are there any official Muslim teachings that talk about converting non-believers, or otherwise being violent toward them? And do we have any citations for the claim at the end about the majority of Muslims around the world condemning them? I'd even consider the usual citation to himself at this point.
And why are we so concerned about keeping anyone's image clean here?
