Today, contemporary Islam still persists in exalting
Muhammad above all mankind [
33:21,
68:4] - he remains the centerpiece, the keystone of the faith - who Muslims believe his dignity should be honored, even by acts of violence and murder [
4:89,
5:33].
Besides
terrorism, this Islamic act of defiance and intimidation, the 'struggle', continues to operate in all forms:
employment harassment and abuse,
political infiltration, forced dissemination of Halal food, Sharia banking [key ayah
5:48 '… For each We have appointed a divine law'], and of course the dreaded financial Jihad - the
Jizya [protection poll] tax
146
If Muhammad were alive today, he would be jubilant to witness contemporary Islamic governmental treasuries enforcing this kind of criminal extortion on non-Muslims.
Beside its obvious role in Islamizing the entire world, Jihad itself is intrinsically to Islamic 'eschatology', whereby the fate of the Ummah
is not only decided on the continuation of a physical war, but a 'spiritual' battle. The core concept of Muhammad's advocation belligerence and desire to
subjugate all mankind [
core teaching 9:29], was to eventually usher in a new Islamic world, a Caliphate [
2:30], under the
rule of 'the 12th Imam'. This Islamic
ruler otherwise known as 'the
Mahdi' is prophesied to ascent onto the worlds political arena during the last days of Islams
global insurrection and final intifada (shaking off democracy and 'heretical' western idealism).
According to Islamic 'prophecy', subsequently after the enigmatic
and illusive individual is revealed, he will proceed to establish world-wide Sharia law, and
force all Muslims and non-Muslim to accept the mark of Islam
and
proclaim the Shahada,
"There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger".147
Furthermore, the Islamic Jesus (Isa) will allegedly decend from
'Jannah' excoriate all Christians for corrupting 'the truth'
- as Muhammad preached that the crucifixion never took place. [
4:157]
Isa will go forth and murder the entire Christian church, destroy all crucifixes, and also aid the Islamic Ummah in murdering every last Jew.

As Muhammad prophesied:
"The last hour will not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews, and the Muslims would kill them
