The Hudna

Hal Lindsey Oracle - Politically Incorrect - Prophetically Correct

Hal Lindsey is someone I seldom read because of his religiosity; however, he has some useful things to say about Islam. It is not too hard to shuck his religious polemics and propaganda from the kernels of truth he offers. It would be throwing away the baby with the bath water to reject him out of hand just because he is religious, but one must read with mind in focus.

Here is the meat of what Mr. Lindsey has to tell us about "hudna" or sort of peace declaration or "promise," another one of the nefarious mindsets and behaviors of Muslims. He is right on, and we need to keep this lesson in mind at all times when we deal with Muslims.

As everyone applauds the "valiant efforts" of Mahmoud Abbas to secure a "cease-fire" from a bunch of terrorist gangs that have sworn they will never have a permanent peace with Israel, it is time to review the sacred Muslim concept of "hudna."

It began with Islam's most revered founder, Muhammad. He declared a 10-year "hudna" with the Quraysh tribe that controlled Mecca. Two years into the hudna, Muhammad had acquired enough troops and arms to abrogate the hudna and conquer Mecca – decimating the Quraysh in the process.

This became known as the "Quraysh Model," which defines the meaning of a hudna. When you are militarily at a disadvantage, declare a "hudna" until you are militarily strong enough to discard it and win the war. This is a Muslim tactic that has been used over and over again throughout history with devastating success.

[Permanent peace] with Muslims is a self-deception for those who ignore the history of the Quraysh-Hudna Muslim tactic. To the followers of the Quran, this is just a tactical interlude in a long-term strategy for ...the return of what they view as sacred Muslim soil to its rightful owner – Allah.

We of the Western world think in terms of about a 10-year historical context for our decision making. Muslims think in terms of a couple of centuries as the context for present-day strategic planning.

In the case of land previously conquered by Muslims, now under the control of "infidels," [or lands coveted by Muslims] there is no time limit for the obligation of true Muslims to take it back for Allah. It never means a permanent peace. It is only a tactical interlude in which Muslims rearm for a successful jihad. So beware of the "hudna."

What amazes me is how easily Westerners get sucked into arrangements of trust with Muslims. What facilitates this for the Muslims and makes Westerners such enormous suckers is Westerner ignorance of Islam. God forbid, so to speak, that someone in government, politics, journalism, or the man on the street read something crystal clear and truthful, such as Mark Alexander's The Dawning of a New Dark Age. Ignorance forces people to learn the hard way, and I do mean "hard."

All the victimhoodism coming from Muslim sources within America plays up racism, bias, prejudice, hatred, etc., against this "poor picked on, totally innocent group of believers." And, like cows answering the dinner bell, many Americans head to the trough to partake what Muslim propagandists and polemicists are dishing out, and change their behavior instead of demanding that Muslims get real. Even cows ruminate, but not many Americans either learn or think.

This is a correctible situation. For a few dollars, one's mind can be stoked with facts and a truthful perspective. Then, when Muslims comes bearing hudnas, Americans stop buying them. Then we will have gained critical strength.
