Scholar Reveals Truths About Islam That Every Christian Must Know

Dr. Gad Saad, a Lebanese-Canadian scholar, who grew up in Lebanon, has in an interview, explained Islam through both academic research and firsthand experience living among Muslims. Below are his words which clcgh.org has transcribed for its esteemed readers.

“Islam has a concept. It’s a duality concept. The world is divided into two: there is Dar Al Islam and Dar Al harb. Dar Al Islam means the house of Islam.  Dar Al Harb in Arabic means the house of war.

So the entire world is broken up into either blue or red. House of Islam or house of war. What does that mean? Any land that Islam conquers and then loses is forever more canonically under the house of Islam; any land that is not yet ever been colonised and conquered by Islam is in the house of war. It is to be conquered.

That’s why the end result is that Islam is peaceful because it seeks peace through the unification of the entire world under the unifying flag of Allah.

Now, in the Middle East, every single society that had existed prior to Islam has been eradicated. In Egypt, Coptic Christians were the majority. Now, they constitute 10% of Egypt, okay.

In Syria, there was huge Christians. Lebanon used to be a predominantly Christian country. Within my lifetime and yours, Lebanon went from being predominantly Christian to now being majority Muslim. Within our lifetime, not 500 years.

What happened to the Iraqi Christians? Persia had a culture before Islam. Now, it’s become Islamic. So no ideology has conquered and colonised as much as Islam has. So if you’re worried about the colonisation of Zionism, then, by any stretch of the imagination, if you’re going to be logical, then you have to be worried and upset about the colonisation of 56 countries that were once not Islamic.

And in many cases, they became Islamized through brute force. That’s why there is the sword of Islam. It doesn’t capture that we’re going to cut bananas together. It captures that I put the sword to your neck and when I conquer you, I give you three choices: either convert, die or live as a dimmi. Dimmi means as a not, not even second class citizen; you’re a third class citizen.

So, for example, Jews and Christians have often been tolerated under Islamic law. So, for example, you hear about the period the golden period of Andalusia, which is in current Spain. All of that means is that you are tolerated until you’re not. But you’re always walking a precarious high wire.

On any given moment, you better put on your really fast-running shoes and run really fast because your head’s going to be detached. So, we lived very nicely in Lebanon until we didn’t. And that’s the history of the entire region.

Now, Jews have existed in the Middle East for thousands of years before the word Islam ever came to be. So if we’re going to use historical precedence, it’s the game that the enemies of Judaism are going to lose. But here’s what I propose: how about you teach your children that there could be people who live next you.

We can debate where we draw the line, but there is a group of people that have thousands of years of provenance to that land. By the way, when you said Palestinians, until recently, it referred to the indigenous Jews of that area called Palestine.

Palestine, as you hear today, is a concoction from the 1960s. There is no Palestinian people. They’re Jordanian, they’re Egyptian. There is no such thing as Palestine other than it’s a territory that has been mandated by different groups.

A while back by the Ottamans, more recently, British mandate and so on. So, imagine if we can teach the children of our neighbours that Jews have a right to exist, we can be neighbours; let’s love each other. It’s perfectly natural for us to coexist.

Do you think that Israel is actually interested in committing a genocide? Because if they wanted to commit a genocide, well, let’s let’s think it through.  It would take well less than the time that I’ve been on this show today for every single palestinian to be eradicated, given Israel’s might. Is that a true statement? It is, yet they haven’t.

As a matter of fact, the Palestinian population has increased five fold , so Jews are really shit at the genocidal game because population increased five fold. When the Nazis were trying to exterminate the Jews, they were trying to get rid of them. They got rid of 6 million…Jews are a cancer in that region. And we must get rid of them as we have all other societies.

So there are many other religions that had flourished historically in that region. They’ve all magically disappeared. Where are they? What happened to them? Crack a history book. Do you hear things like, Christians are a cancer as well, or is it just that they’re slow match to get people to convert or leave?

So that’s a great question. So there is an expression as saying in the Islamic context. “First, we come for the Saturday people. Then we come for the Sunday people”. The Saturday people are the Jews. The Sunday people are the Christians. So it always starts with the Jews, but it never just ends with the Jews because again a fair world a just world, is where everybody is Islamic.”
