Islamic Eisegesis and the false prophets

Eisegesis is the process of interpreting a text or portion of text in such a way that the process introduces one's own presuppositions, agendas, or biases into and onto the text. It is the opposite of Exegesis, meaning that text is interpreted in its context. Often Christians are accused, and rightfully so, of cherry-picking the Bible for verses that support their own ideas. They are not the only ones. In fact, the entire theocracy of Islam is built on such principle. When Mohammad wrote the Koran he did so using the first part to exonerate the peaceful nature of Islam. The second part of the Koran, however, reveals the hostile, effectively allowing Muslims to situationally use eisegesis in deceiving people according to the need.

I read a story about how Italy did not recognize Islam as a religion. In that, an Imam was debating with commentators about the story. In every instance where a person brought up the violence and hatred of Islam not only toward its own people, but most certainly to those who do not believe in Islam, this Imam quoted the love and peace verses of first part of the Koran. He refused to debate the 100-plus verses about beheading the unbelievers and killing the infidels. I do not believe that Islam is a legitimate religion. It is a theocracy, a political system, that uses religion to as a means to an end. The only peace of Islam is submission to the theocracy. This is satan's design to deceive using duplicity.

While Islam wants its believers and the outside world to perceive it as a "peaceful" religion, its actions are historically the opposite. As Jesus said in Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits." Indeed, Islam should be known by its fruits. Islam practices slavery. In fact, there are confirmed reports that the Islamic State (IS) is putting price tags on captured Yazidi women and girls and selling them in Mosul at a discount to recruit fighters. We are well aware of Islam's beheadings, rapes, drug dealings, honor killings, slave trade, and so on, all justified by the Koran. And all denied by quoting from the Koran.

The US "president" says that the IS is perpetrating its barbarism on mostly Muslims. That too, is in the Koran--to bring Muslims under submission. It is now reported that even the Pakistani Taliban are pledging allegiance to the IS. Which leads to the obvious question: If Muslims don't support the IS and its savagery, why don't they all oppose it? Turkey, for example, says it opposes the IS, but in reality Istanbul is a fertile recruiting ground for the IS. Turkey also funds Hamas and is a safe haven for the Muslim Brotherhood. Even the US "president" uses the duplicity of the Koran to say he is against the IS by pretending to bomb it, but American bullets are being used by the IS to massacre its victims. Deception is a part of Islam's DNA. This "president" is no exception. As Jesus said, "Take heed that no man deceive you."

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
