It's All About Muhammad

PEOPLE WHO ARE TERRIFIED BY THE RELENTLESS advance of Islam should take comfort in the fact that no one in Athens today believes that Zeus resides on Mount Olympus or that no one in Rome still worships at the temple of Jupiter.

These were myths that bound Greek and Roman civilizations together, but they were ultimately discarded when people began to see they were nothing more than fabulous stories.

Why this should be comforting to people today is the fact that Islam is based entirely on a myth, one whose demise is long overdue. This is the myth that God talked to Muhammad, that he was God’s “messenger.” Everything Muslims believe and everything they do is derived from that primary, bedrock myth.

Given that Islam aspires eventually to take over the entire world and that it is making rapid progress in infiltrating and undermining the West, isn’t it time to go after the myth that sustains it? To destroy the myth about Muhammad is to destroy what he created.

Let’s get to the heart of it: Islam is plain dangerous. It always has been, and it always will be, no matter what flavor it comes in. There’s no need to argue the point because its violence is in the news almost every day, and more people all the time are waking up to the fact that their very civilization is at risk. What needs to be argued is the best way to mount a counteroffensive.

Dropping bombs is certainly part of it. Just recently, it was reported that two B-2 bombers flew a 36-hour mission to destroy a secret ISIS camp somewhere in Libya. Result: 100 jihadis killed. That’s great news — except that when the bombers are gone, Islam is still there.

Another approach is needed. A different delivery system and different munitions are required based on a clear understanding of where the real battlefield is what the real target needs to be. The real battlefield is the mind, and the real target is the myth that God talked to Muhammad.

The delivery system already exists. It is a Western invention that has not yet been adapted for use in the war that Islam is waging against the world. This is cinema. It is the perfect platform for launching a counteroffensive targeting the foundation myth of Islam.

The munitions are plentiful. These are the chilling details of Muhammad’s life that are found in the original literature of Islam. Muslims do not dispute the details; they only try to hide them. What they try to hide is that two thirds of the canonical biographical materials about their “Messenger of God” have to do with the crimes against humanity he committed in imposing his cult.

The new approach, the new delivery system, turns what Muslims believe about Muhammad against them. It does so graphically, in movies starring Muhammad — Hollywood quality blockbusters that set off explosions in the mind, the real battlefield.

Books have been published that lay out the evidence of Muhammad’s extraordinary appetite for violence, but relatively few people read such books so that their impact is at best trickle down. Yet they lay the groundwork. The authors have done the heavy lifting of tedious research. Their work provides the raw material for the creative imagination to take hold of and transmute into ingenious cinematic productions — not propaganda, but truth propagation films based on what is found in Islam’s own literature.

This requires thinking big, far reaching thinking, the thinking of visionaries whose goal is not to contain or even push back Islam, but to get rid of it. It needs to become axiomatic that any thinking about how to deal with Islam that does not include the goal of getting rid of it is a waste of time.

This is how to not waste time. It is to use the best delivery system in the world combined with the best munitions in the world: cinema firing the grotesque details of Muhammad’s life at the world.

The entire planet is the audience, and it can be broken down into two groups:

The first is made up of non-believers, five billion strong. The spread of myth-busting knowledge about Muhammad to this large group is still in its early stages. Most people are aware that Islam is a serious problem due to the fact that people are being slaughtered in its name everywhere. But most still do not know why it is happening or what they can do about it. That is because the truth is hidden by politically correct or even treasonous media, and by governments that have become wobbly in the knees. The dissemination of the truth about Muhammad through dramatic recreation in film will serve the purpose of rapidly lifting this self-imposed veil for people everywhere to see the face behind it, the face of Muhammad. When the truth about the cause of all the havoc becomes universally known, spines throughout the world will stiffen with resolve to do something about it. It is difficult to deal with a problem if the cause of it is not understood. Now it will be understood. It is not the Koran, nor is it the threat of sharia law, it is the man who created them.

The second audience is made up of the faithful, estimated to consist of one and a half billion people. This may come as a shock, but most of the faithful do not know the truth about Muhammad either. They were raised — some would say brainwashed — with the mythologized version, and in that mythology their prophet is a man so holy that he will assist God on the Day of Judgment in determining the fate of believers. Muslims take it literally that Muhammad went up into heaven after being flown from Mecca to Jerusalem on the back of a winged mule. They do not doubt he was brought before God with whom he negotiated how many times each day they must pray. Most of these people have never read the Koran, and many are forced to memorize it in Arabic even though not understanding a word.

This is taking the fight to the enemy. Imagine how these duped people will react when they see their “prophet” recruit hitmen like a Mafia don to kill his critics, mass murder people who refuse to join his religion, enslave men, women, and children, and scream “Kill! Kill!” as he and his followers did when they attacked the caravans, towns, villages, and camps of people who rejected him and his cult. Imagine their shudders when they are shown verses of the Koran where Muhammad boasts of his criminal exploits. Brainwashing works, until it doesn’t. An aggressive and relentless exposure of the de-mythologized Muhammad will cause fractures in the belief system of countless people, and once fracturing begins of a faith based on an absurd myth that hides vile truth, it will continue to fracture until it falls apart entirely. This is already happening to some extent in the Muslim world. Film will accelerate it.

As a weapon against Islam, cinema is tactical and strategic, short range and long range, conventional and nuclear. Provided such films are produced aggressively and relentlessly — like the defense industry that churns out warplanes and warships — Islam can be made ultimately to implode. This happened to the Soviet Union in 1989. False ideas eventually fail because they are false. Thus external pressures from aggressive repudiation of the now-informed non-Muslim world combined with the internal depressurization from massive losses to the body of the faithful ultimately will bring about collapse. This can be made to happen. The speed of this implosion depends upon the aggressiveness of the exposure.

This is not wishful thinking, but a matter of common sense. Islam is an aberration that was imposed by violence, expands by violence, and maintains itself by violence. What else but violence can support a cult that is based on the myth that a mass murdering thug speaks for God? Muhammad got nowhere with peaceful proselytizing. His only effective recruiter was terror, and he boasted about it: “I have been made victorious with terror!” [1]

It is time to move beyond the fear that Islam inspires. Muslims commit violence against people who mock or criticize Muhammad, and they do so because that is what Muhammad did to people who mocked or criticized him. But the fact that Islam is capable of such things is the reason the exposure must take place. The more provocative the better because whatever the reaction of Muslims to an aggressive counteroffensive through cinema will only draw more attention to what will ultimately bring an end to what they believe. Be like a matador provoking a bull into charging; taunt Islam with its secrets and then move in over the horns for the kill; plunge the cinematic sword into the heart of the beast.

As long as these films are solidly grounded in Islam’s core literature, Muslims and their fellow travelers have no defense, and the more they resort to attacking cinematic truth tellers, the more discredited they will become.

The Pentagon could justify spending money on such projects under the guise of fighting ISIS and other terror groups by showing the beliefs that drive them. It just so happens that they practice Islam 101, the Islam of Muhammad, so military educational films about these groups (featuring Muhammad, of course) would reveal the essential truth about Islam. Imagine what could be done if the $3 billion spent on the recently commissioned destroyer, the USS Zumwalt, were instead spread out over ten years and spent on truth propagation films for global distribution. Islam would soon be on the ropes. It is a paltry sum that would do the work of the entire defense budget.

There is no end to the cinematic potential of the material. This is unexplored, virgin territory. A straight biopic would be great for starters, but Muhammad’s criminal doings can be dealt with from a number of angles. In the epilogue of my book, It’s All About Muhammad, A Biography of the World’s Most Notorious Prophet, I suggest putting Muhammad on trial for crimes against humanity. In this scenario, he is in the docket of the accused along with his lieutenants, as occurred with Saddam Hussein and his henchmen. Muhammad’s victims are resurrected to testify about what he did to them. The myth of Muhammad as God’s voice box is thus demolished by the people he murdered, despoiled, or enslaved. The real Muhammad is shown for the psychopath that he was.

The canonical material is so vast that it can also be broken down thematically into hundreds of docudramas, one-hour treatments of History Channel quality, all of them starring Muhammad, all of them entertaining and informative. Here’s a possible title for one of these: Was Muhammad a Charlatan, or Did He Really Believe that God Talked to Him? This docudrama would explore the evidence in Islam’s literature that Muhammad suffered from epilepsy, which gave him neurological experiences that led him to believe he communed with the divine. Being a docudrama, it would show Muhammad’s frequent falling to the ground in the manner described in the literature — in one case with froth on his cheeks. Such a production would interview neurologists to give professional opinions about the anecdotal evidence.

There are so many award-winning possibilities for the creative mind that it boggles the mind: Segments can explore such questions as why Muhammad hated the Jews and what his hatred did to them; Muhammad’s numerous wives and how they got that way; Muhammad’s jealousy that led to the imposition of the veil; the Koran as Muhammad’s blog, and so much more. These docudramas could even take a scholarly turn for the examination of evidence Muhammad plagiarized his prophet stories from Jewish folk tales, refashioning them for his Koran. This is connected to the theme of his hatred for the Jews: The docudrama would show the rabbis laughing in his face for claiming God revealed to him what they knew were inept knockoffs of their prophet folk stories. And it would show Muhammad making them pay for it with their lives.

These have the potency of missiles carrying mega-tonnage of explosives. Barrages of them are what will bring about the overdue demise of the myth that is at the very base of Islam, the myth that God talked to Muhammad — and along with it the end of what the myth keeps alive.

To send Muhammad to join Zeus and Jupiter, all you need to do is to get the cameras rolling.

[1] From Sahih al-Bukhari (Bukhari’s authenticated traditions about Muhammad): Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.” Abu Huraira added: Allah’s Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).
