Islam’s Origins
Who profits by promoting Our Lord’s
foes?
Those who serve God by scourging us with
woes.
In
recommending to readers “Plot Against the Church” by Maurice Pinay, a book
which proves with a wealth of documents that the main external enemy of the
Catholic Church for 2,000 years has been the Jews, these “Comments” stated that
Jews were behind Islam, Freemasonry and Communism. No readers contested that
they were behind Freemasonry and Communism, but a few asked what shows that
they were also behind Islam. Indeed, since Islam arose in the seventh century
after Christ there is for Islam nothing like the documentation that exists for
the modern roots of Freemasonry and Communism. In fact experts on Islam will
say that even many original documents on the beginning of Islam may have been
destroyed, precisely to cover up its true origins. We are left with the text of
the Koran itself and historical arguments to point to Jews as the originators
of Islam.
As
for the text of the Koran, one who studied it closely before the Council, Hanna
Zakarias, came to the conclusion in his book “True Mohammed, False Koran” that
it was entirely the work of a Jewish Rabbi. To support his thesis that Islam is
simply Judaism explained to Arabs by a Rabbi to convert them to the one true
God of the Old Testament, Zakarias maintains that there is no story, no detail
in the Koran that is not specifically Jewish, referring to the Old Testament,
the Talmud or other Jewish literature. Only a Jew, he argues, could so glorify
Israel as the Koran does, at the head of the nations, sole receiver of the one
Revelation of the one true God. Thus passages in the Koran honoring for
instance John the Baptist and the Blessed Virgin honour them purely as Jews,
cutting out all connection to Christianity (Sourat XIX, 1–21). As for Jesus, he
may have been the son of Mary, but he was certainly not the Son of God.
On
the contrary a post-conciliar student of Islam, Laurent Lagartempe, states in
his book “Origins of Islam” that there are many questions as to the historical
person of Mohammed, and he argues that the Koran is a medley of disparate
texts, more or less stabilized only two centuries after the beginning of Islam,
to justify the new religion, and to act as its holy text to rival with the Old
and New Testaments of Moses and Jesus Christ respectively. But Lagartempe does
not contest a significant presence of Judaism in the Koran, nor its influence.
As
for the historical arguments for Jews being behind Islam, Pinay’s book documents
the well-known part played by Jews in helping the Arabs to conquer Catholic
Spain between 711 and 788, reconquered by the Catholics only in 1492.
Lagartempe reasonably supposes that the preceding Arab conquest of North Africa
from 647 to 710 was also helped by the Jews, because those countries south of
the Mediterranean, once a thriving part of Christendom, have ever since
remained mostly under Arab control.
However,
perhaps the main argument for Jews being behind Islam is of a more general
order, and hardly disputable, resting on the quite special role played in
history by the people of the Messiah, Our Lord Jesus Christ. To begin with, the
training of the Israelites for that role by God himself stretched over 2,000
years from Abraham to Christ. See in the Old Testament how specially God both
rewarded and punished them, to form them as the cradle of the Messiah to come.
This formation gave to the Jews a quite special familiarity with the one true
God, and they have never entirely lost it ever since. And that familiarity
gives them a special ability to fabricate substitute religions that seem to
satisfy men’s real religious needs.
Alas,
they refused their Messiah when he came, and that refusal gives them a special
motivation to fabricate false religions to pull human beings away from Christ
and away from eternal salvation. Here is why Maurice Pinay can show how they
have fought down all the centuries against the Catholic Church. Today they are
indisputably behind the Muslim invasion of the once Catholic nations of Europe,
to dissolve the last remnants of the Faith, and so stop those nations from opposing
their New World Order.
Kyrie
eleison.
