Imagine my surprise when I opened an email ad from Amazon.com and found that Edip Yuksel, a Muslim who is a leading Islamic reformer, had written a book, Peacemaker’s Guide to Warmongers: Exposing Robert Spencer, David Horowitz, and other Enemies of Peace. He made my day. Bill Warner was included in the product description as an enemy of peace. I am flattered.
Why does Mr. Yuksel call me an enemy of peace and a warmonger? It’s simple. Partnered with Robert Spencer, I debated him in Frontpage Magazine Symposiums (here and here) and beat him like a drum using the doctrine and history of political Islam. As a result, I have gone from being an opponent in a debate to an enemy of peace.
Am I an enemy of peace? Am I a warmonger? Yes, on an everyday basis and I want you to be an enemy of peace and a warmonger as well.
The question must be asked: what peace are we talking about? Islamic peace. How does Islamic peace come about? Islamic peace comes after jihad and the victory of Islam. Peace is one of those words that everyone considers to be universally good, but peace is what losers (kafirs) get, while winners (Muslims) get victory. Islamic peace is all about the victory over the kafirs. Islamic peace changes a free man into a slave of Allah.
We should examine the meaning of all words Muslims use, since Islam does not share a common ground of civilization with us. Islam twists all of the kafir words. To find out what “peacemaker” means we have to go to Mohammed. Mohammed was an Islamic peacemaker. In the last 9 years of his life, he was involved in an event of violence on the average of every 6 weeks.
Every single neighbor of Mohammed experienced his peacemaking. Take the Jews of Khaybar, for instance. They were going about their lives when the army of Mohammed showed up. It took the murder, rape, theft, torture and becoming semi-slaves before the Jews experienced the peace of Mohammed. Once they submitted to Islam as dhimmis and agreed to live under Sharia law and give him half of what they earned, the jizyah (the dhimmi tax), they were left to live in peace. This is the peace of Islam.
As long as Mohammed merely preached the religion of Islam in Mecca, he was a failure. Very few people were interested in the religion of Islam. It was only in Medina where he became a warlord that Islam succeeded, and he became a peacemaker.
The natural state of Islam in relation to kafirs is jihad, not peace. If we want to discover peace in Sharia law, we must look under the general heading of jihad to find the subject of “truce”. We learn that Muslims are not to call for a truce as long as they are winning. When Islam offers peace, it means that they are losing and need to gain time to prepare for the next jihad.
I am a warmonger because I use the doctrine of Islam to refute the deceptions of Muslims like Edip Yuksel. Last night in Nashville, TN, a Muslim stood in front of a college crowd and said that jihad was inner struggle. Working hard to get an A is jihad. Jihad is not holy war. He is right. When you examine the hadiths about jihad in Bukhari, about 2% of them can be construed as jihad is an inner struggle. However, the other 98% of the jihad hadiths are about killing kafirs until the rest submit to Islam.
Warmongering consists of asking questions to confront Islamic propaganda in this ideological war. Being a warmonger means showing up to support the Coptic Christians at a street demonstration about the jihad killing of Copts in Egypt. Warmongering means going to an interfaith bridge building and confronting the ministers and rabbis with their ignorance about Islam. Warmongering means speaking truth to the lies of Official Islam.
It works like this. Unless we have enough enemies of the Islamic peacemakers, one day our civilization will experience the peace of Islam, and we will be like the historical majority Greek Christian culture of Asia Minor. Today Greek Christians are 0.3% of Turkey. They’ve experienced the peace of Islam-annihilation.

well the jews know about their history,, any child who knows history also knows that jews suffered a lot from blood drinking christians,, only one example is what HITLER did in germany,,, the jewish historians admit that that only refuge they had in history FROM 70 TO 1917 was the era of muslim spain,, and my dear scholar must know very well what christians did to spanish civilization,,, it was CALIPH OMER RA, who allowed them to visit jeruselum,,, what happened in KHAYBER during THE PROPHET’S TIME ? well if u know history you will have to admit WHEN MUHAMMAD PBUH went to madina HE signed an agreement of peace with the jews that if MUSLIMS are attacked jews will fight with muslims and muslims will do the same if jews were attacked,,, but jews supported mushriks of arab against muslims and definitely that is called treason in your english language and you must be familiar with the associated punishment,,,, and you very smartly jumped to khayber event and neglected all the history that lead to the event,, good teachers donot teach the way you teach history sir ,, you are teaching your students to make false images in mind and then see the world,, is it not clear hatered and partiality???

Bill Warner is a ‘warmonger’ because he disagrees with Mohammed and thereby all Moslems take him as challenging them to jihad, since that is Mohammed’s doctrine: ‘To fight the people until…’ they become Moslems.
The first move of Islam is to deny freedom of speech to all but Moslems, then condemn them to hell for disagreeing, then attack them in every conceivable manner to subjugate them and remove all their rights: legal, religious or civic.
Kafirs become little more than cattle to be exploited. Resisting Moslem dominance is ‘warmongering’ to a Moslem.
Rather than refute Mr. Warner’s carefully made points, Edip Yuksel merely makes indulges in the fallacy of ad hominem denunciation, thus trying an end-run around logic. This is normative Islam which uses the threat of scorn, then violence, to silence disagreement.
I encourage all readers to read Mr. Warner’s and Mr. Spencer’s fine points in these important debates.

Dear Bill,
Kudos on your mini book review of “Guide to Warmongering etc..”
What will it take to wake us up to the worst threat to our civilization by fanatic Islam? They are in the process of cementing their takeover of the Middle East and are enroute to take over Africa while the rest of the world is sound asleep.
And our own administration delays while they build up their nuclear capabilities. To be sure it’s a tragic situation. Keep giving light and hopefully the people will wake up.
Sincerely,
Bill K

Wow, in only several hundred words you basically summed up Islam and why it always has been and always will be a threat to civilization. Sorry if I’m getting carried away, but you really nailed the subject matter here better than I have ever seen it done before without going on and on for many pages. Well done, and please keep it up !

Bill,
Your posting and a speech I heard this week by a leading “conciliator” – Christ Seiple at the Institute for Global Engagement” got me thinking about which was more effective: the conciliation or confrontation apporach to Islam. I wrote about it, and invite you to read it, at:
