The attached thread provides an explanation of the topic:
Muslims do not view us non-Muslims as human beings, but rather as harmful, physically and spiritually polluted entities, the worst creatures. This is because Allah, according to the Quran, sees us as such. Therefore, any kind of violence towards us is a commandment for them, including murdering us and raping our girls and women. They are in a constant state of war against us, 24/7/365, until we become extinct; therefore, all their laws of war apply against us at all times.

Every non-Muslim should learn, understand, and disseminate these six threads.
Anyone who holds the Quran and Muhammad in high regard and believes in them genuinely believes that Jihad is necessary to annihilate all 6.2 billion non-Muslims.
Thread about the colonialist political Islam movement, which is the Islamic Ummah.
By: Ofer binshtok
The Islamic Ummah, a political Islam movement, has over 1.9 billion members and is the world's largest Ummah.
Even if they are citizens with voting rights, members of the Islamic Ummah must only be loyal to the political Islam movement, the Islamic Ummah and its goals, and not to any other nation-state. Honest and real loyalty to a nation-state that is not the Islamic Ummah is a grievous offense, punishable by death, just as it is for a non-Muslim.
The Islamic Ummah is a colonialist global political movement with three arms: Sharia laws serve as the political arm. The military arm is referred to as jihad. and the religious arm (belief in the Quran and Muhammad's Sunnah), through which the political arm recruits Jihad volunteers for the purpose of conquering the entire world.
The Islamic Ummah, a political Islam movement, rejects the idea of separation of religion and state.
The Islamic Ummah, a political Islam movement, is spread across 57 Islamic countries. (The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, OIC)
In addition, hundreds of millions of members of the Islamic Ummah's political Islam movement are dispersed across most of the world's countries.
[In Bharat (India), for example, they number around 220 million].
The Islamic Ummah, a political Islam movement, controls most of the world's oil.
The sale of oil generates a significant amount of wealth for the Islamic Ummah, a political Islam movement.
The Islamic Ummah, a political Islam movement, controls large areas of the earth's surface, accounting for between 15 and 20 percent.
Because of the 57 Islamic countries belonging to the Islamic Ummah, a political Islam movement (OIC), and due to their control over most oil resources and the significant purchasing power derived from these revenues, As a result, many countries around the world rely heavily on their oil reserves and the revenue they generate from them. In addition, their significant voting bloc in the UN (57), a cumulative result of all the circumstances described here, gives them control over the UN and its institutions.
In fact, the Islamic Ummah, a political Islam movement, controls the world.
thus,
They aren't a minority anywhere in the world.
Islam is a global political movement, not a religion, with members spread across 57 countries and a presence in the rest of the world.
It makes no sense at all that the members of the political movement—the Islamic Ummah, the largest in the world—receive the protection of a religious minority or a minority in general, as well as the protection of religious freedom. Islam is not a religion, but rather a worldwide political movement that incorporates religious elements.
Conclusion:
All safeguards provided to Muslims worldwide under laws safeguarding religious freedom and minority rights should be withdrawn.
A thread about Islam.
Devil's Advocate. @Keir_Starmer
Keir Starmer's intention to defend Islam's atrocities by silencing criticism and warning against them makes him complicit in Islam's crimes throughout the past 1,400 years, as well as their crimes today and in the future. Through the legislation he proposes to enact, he becomes complicit in all forms of jihad crimes, including rape jihad and murderous terrorist jihad, such as the 9/11 and 7/10 attacks (in Israel). He became a collaborator in the destruction of entire cultures in the past, including Zoroastrianism in Iran, the Hindu genocide in India, and the persecution of minorities in Pakistan and Egypt, among others. He became the devil's advocate. Kir Starmer and his followers pose a threat to the existence of the free world and Western democracy.
I advise Hindu India's leadership, namely Modi, to do all possible to grow India's Hindu population to 95%. Otherwise, in future generations, Islam will be successful in eliminating you, this time through demography in conjunction with jihadist violence.

A thread about Jihad.
The Complete Jihadist Guide to Killing Us.
These are the jihadist Islamic fighting tactics, against the rest of humanity. The jihadist who kills in the name of Allah is only the tip of the iceberg. Islam commands the believers to fight heresy and infidels in different and varied ways to fulfill the commandment of Allah from the Quran and Muhammad, to cleanse the earth of heresy and infidels until it contains only the Islamic faith.
Continue to let Islam into the Western world with welcome and friendship. Continue to respect Islam and eventually it will do to you what Muhammad did in the 7th century to those who welcomed him in the city of Medina. He destroyed the host culture.
Quran 8.39
"And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism, i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do."
"39 ways to serve and participate in Jihad"
Written by: Muhammad bin Ahmad as-Salim.
Translated by: At-Tibyan publications.
(Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 19/7/2003)
Introduction:
All praise for Allah who has obligated Jihad upon his servants and has promised them firm establishment on Earth and dominance over the people of disbelief. And may prayers and peace be upon the best of his servants, the one who truly struggled in the path of Allah until he achieved that which was certain (death). May Allah send prayers and peace upon him and his household and his fine and pure companions.
*You (true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muḥammad pbuh and his Sunna) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind..." (V.3:110)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Verse: --"You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind." means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4557
1. Make your intention for Jihad. 2. Truthfully ask Allah for martyrdom. 3. Go for Jihad for yourself. 4. Make Jihad with your wealth. 5. Help prepare the fighter who is going for Jihad. 6. Take care of the families left behind by the fighter. 7. Provide for the families of the martyrs. 8. Providing for the families of the injured and imprisoned. 9. Collect funds for the mujahidin. 10. Pay zakat to them. 11. Cooperate in treating the wounded. 12. Praise the mujahidin and mention their accounts and call the people to follow their footsteps. 13. Encourage the mujahidin and incite them to continue. 14. Speak out for the mujahidin and defend them. 15. Expose the hypocrites and traitors. 16. Call and incite the people to Jihad. 17. Advise the Muslims and the mujahidin. 18. Hide the secrets of the mujahidin that the enemy can be benefit from. (Taqiyya) 19. Supplicate for them. 20. The supplication of distress (Qunut an-Nawazil). 21. Follow and spread news of the Jihad. 22. Participate in spreading their releases of books and publications. 23. Issue fatwa that aide them. 24. Stay connected with the scholars and inform them of the situation of the mujahidin. 25. Become physically fit. 26. Train with weapons and learn how to shoot. 27. Learn to swim and ride horses. 28. Learn first-aid. 29. Learn the fiqe of Jihad. 30. Giving Shelter to the mujahidin and honoring them. 31. Have enmity towards the disbelieves and hate them. 32. Expend effort to free our captives. 33.

Abandon luxury. 38. Boycott the goods of the enemy. 39. Do not hire workers from the war wagers (Harbbiyyin).
Because Muhammad admitted to using terrorism, committing an act of terrorism is considered as a holy deed in Islam.

Quran 68.4
And indeed, you are (Muhammad) of a great moral character.
Quran 33.21
"Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day, and remembers Allâh much."
This is an open letter from an Israeli to all non-Muslims in the free world. In India, Europe, Canada, the USA, and other nations throughout the world.
First comes Saturday then comes Sunday.
All of the news you hear about Israel and the horrific jihad attack will be applied to you in the future in exactly the same way. In connection with Islam, we are a similar target simply because we do not share their beliefs. They see you as criminals, just like they see us.
Ofer Binsthok: Jew, Zionist, Israeli.
According to the Qur'an, these are Allah's commands:
Quran 9.5: “...kill the Mushrikûn wherever you find them…"
Quran 9.29: “Fight those who do not believe in Allah..." Quran 8.39: "And fight them until disbelief disappears and the whole religion is for Allah alone..."(for Islam)
Muslims, for their part, do not lie when they claim they do not harm innocent people. Because they see every disbeliever as a criminal, worse than a murderer. Disbelief is viewed as an act of war against Islam. Therefore, to them, attacking unbelievers is not the same as injuring the innocent.
As I will show here with proof from the Quran, Muhammad's Sunnah, video, and pictures:
"Slavery and rape—treating female prisoners of war as sex slaves—are two of the highest moral values in Islam."
By: Ofer Binshtok.
The moral values of the Islamic culture are determined, mainly according to the moral values of Muhammad in which Allah considers to be the exalted characterin in Quran 68.4. Muhammad is considered for the believers to be an excellent role model according to the Quran 33.21.
Quran 33.21
"Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh(Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day, and remembers Allâh much."
Quran 33.50
"O Prophet) Muhammad) !Verily, We have made lawful to you your wives, to whom you have paid their Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), and those (slaves) whom your right hand possesses - whom Allâh has given to you, and the daughters of your ‘Amm (paternal uncles) and the daughters of your ‘Ammât (paternal aunts) and the daughters of your Khâl (maternal uncles) and the daughters of your Khâlât( maternal aunts) who migrated (from Makkah) with you, and a believing woman if she offers herself to the Prophet, and the Prophet wishes to marry her - a privilege for you only, not for the (rest of) the believers. Indeed We know what We have enjoined upon them about their wives and those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, in order that there should be no difficulty on you. And Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Commentaries for 33.50 - Ibn Al Kathir:
(those (slaves) whom your right hand possesses whom Allah has given to you,) means, `the slave-girls whom you took from the war booty are also permitted to you.
Sahih Muslim 1602:
"...Allah's Apostle said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves..."
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3959 – Sahih:
It was narrated from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah had a female slave with whom he had intercourse, but 'Aishah and Hafsah would not leave him alone until he said that she was forbidden for him. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed:
"O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you.' until the end of the Verse.
Muhammad was slave owner. Muhammad had slaves and he traded them, and he had female as sex slaves, and he allowed the rape of female prisoners of war. For example: Sahih Bukhari 6909, 6202, 5210, 4913, 2695, 2415. Sunan Abi Dawud, 3358, Sahih. The History of al-Tabari vol. 39 p. 193.
Sahih al-Bukhari 5210:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
We got female captives in the war booty and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So we asked Allah's Messenger(ﷺ) about it and he said, "Do you really do that?" repeating the question thrice, "There is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into existence, till the Day of Resurrection."
Quran 2.223:
"Your wives are as fields for you. You may enter your fields from any place you want. Reserve something good for your souls. Have fear of God and know that you are going to meet Him. (Muhammad) give the glad news to the believers."
"Slavery and rape—treating female prisoners of war as sex slaves—are two of the highest moral values in Islam."
"Can Islam live in true peace with the infidels?"
No.

Only Hudna (truces), a temporary ceasefire, is made because Islam is in a weak position against the infidels. Hudna buys Islam time until its power overcomes the infidels, and then it will exterminate them, in accordance with Allah’s commands from the Quran and Muhammad.
*According to Muhammad, Bukhari 1765, the earth belongs to Allah and his messenger, to Islam:
Bukhari 1765:
"…The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I want this... - He said to them (the same words) the third time (and on getting the same reply) he added: You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle…"
* According to Allah, from Qur'an 47.35, Allah commands the believers, do not seek peace when your hand is uppermost:
Qur'an 47.35:
"…So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior…"
* When Islam is in a position of weakness against the infidels, they have a holy command from Allah from the Quran and Muhammad to lie to the infidels to buy time:
Muhammad in Bukhari hadith 3029:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called,: "War is deceit".
Muhammad in Hadith Sahih, in Tirmidhi 1939:
“Lying in time of war”.
The message from Quran 3.28:
Permission to lie to disbelievers as a defense, when Islam is in a state of weakness. Taqiyya.
The message from Quran 16.106:
"...Whoever disbelieves in [i.e., denies] Allāh after his belief...except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith..."
* Indeed, Islam is in a constant state of war against the infidels:
“Islam is in an eternal state of war against heresy and disbelievers”.
Quran 9.29 begins with:
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah...”
The message is also from Quran 8.39
Fight the disbelievers until only Islam will exists in the world.
Quran 9.123 begins with:
"O you who believe, fight those disbelievers who are near you..."
The message is also from Hadith Bukhari 25:
"Fight the disbelievers until they all convert to Islam and only then will their lives and property be protected…"
* In 628 AD, Muhammad moved towards Mecca with an army of 1,400 warriors, a force that was not strong enough to face the mechanical army of the Quraysh tribe. This is why he signed the Hudna Treaty of Hudaybiya, a temporary 10-year ceasefire with the Quraish tribe. An agreement that was considered humiliating for him since he was forbidden to sign it while mentioning his status as a prophet and messenger of Allah. But Muhammad saw this agreement as a victory that gave him time to break the Quraysh's defense agreements with third parties (Bukhari 2731-2732). Which indeed allowed him a year later, in 629, to also attack the Jews of Khaibar.
* According to Sharia law, hudna is a temporary ceasefire agreement for ten years; this is the only agreement that Muslims are allowed to sign with the infidels:
* TRUCES (Hudna)
09.16 (O: As for truces, the author does not mention them. In Sacred Law truce means a peace treaty with those hostile to Islam, involving a cessation of fighting for a specified period, whether for payment or something else. The scriptural basis for them includes such Koranic verses as:
(1) "An acquittal from Allah and His messenger..." (Koran 9:1);
(2) "If they incline towards peace, then incline towards it also" (Koran 8:61);
as well as the truce which the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) made with Quraysh in the year of Hudaybiya, as related by Bukhari and Muslim.
Truces are permissible, not obligatory. The only one who may effect a truce is the Muslim ruler of a region (or his representative) with a segment of the non-Muslims of the region, or the caliph (o25) (or his representative). When made with other than a portion of the non-Muslims, or when made with all of them, or with all in a particular region such as India or Asia Minor, then only the caliph (or his representative) may effect it, for it is a matter of the gravest consequence because it entails the nonperformance of jihad, whether globally or in a given locality, and our interests must be looked after therein, which is why it is best left to the caliph under any circumstances, or to someone he delegates to see to the interests of the various regions.
There must be some interest served in making a truce other than mere preservation of the status quo. Allah Most High says,
"So do not be fainthearted and call for peace, when it is you who are the uppermost" (Koran )
Interests that justify making a truce are such things as Muslim weakness because of lack of numbers or materiel, or the hope of an enemy becoming Muslim, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) made a truce in the year Mecca was liberated with Safwan ibn Umayya for four months in hope that he would become Muslim, and he entered Islam before its time was up. If the Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) made a truce with Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud. It is not permissible to stipulate longer than that, save by means of new truces, each of which does not exceed ten years.
The rulings of such a truce are inferable from those of the non-Muslim poll tax (def: 011);
namely, that when a valid truce has been effected, no harm may be done to non-Muslims until it expires.
* In 630 AD, Muhammad's power increased; he broke the agreement with Quraish and moved towards Mecca with about 10 thousand warriors and conquered it. The Quraish tribe converted to Islam, and Muhammad abolished the religious tolerance that existed in Mecca. With his own hands, he began to destroy the 360 holy sites for the different religions that lived there in mutual tolerance and harmony. He abolished this tolerance and left only the Islamic holy site.
* Quran 8.58, in fact, allows Muslims to cancel any contract for "fear” that the other party will break it. Not because the other party violated the agreement, but only out of fear. So signing an agreement with Islam is basically meaningless.
Quran 8.58:
"If you are afraid of the treachery of some of your allies, you may disregard your treaty with them. God does not love the treacherous ones."
In conclusion:
As a religious command, from Allah, from the Quran, from Muhammad, and from Sharia law:
* Islam is in a constant state of war against the infidels, until it destroys them.
* When Islam is weak, the believers are commanded to obtain a hudna (temporary ceasefire) so that they can gain strength that will surpass the strength of the infidels.
* There is no meaning in signing an agreement with Islam since they are allowed to violate it at any moment.
* When the power of the believers exceeds the power of the infidels, the believers are ordered to abandon the Hudna agreement and destroy the infidels.

One of the great strengths of Islam is the fact that those it sees as enemies do not understand it and underestimate its capabilities. This has contributed to its historical success in conquering large parts of the world over the past 1,400 years and its continued expansion.
Sharia law also includes:
By: Ofer Binshtok.
*Jihad - fighting for the cause of Allah. A command for the violent conquest of the world.
*Zakat - is also used to finance Sharia law and Jihad.
*Halal - is also used to finance Sharia law and Jihad.
*Jizya - collection of ransom from Jews and Christians, is also used to finance Sharia law and Jihad.
*Slavery and sex slaves.
*The Pact of Umar—the racial laws against the infidels.
*Beating women as punishment.
*Discrimination against women.
*Execution of the LGBT community.
*Execution of the apostate. Ridda. Murtad. (Those who believe then reject faith.)
*Hudud crimes (apostasy, revolt against the ruler, theft, highway robbery, adultery, slander, and drinking alcohol) carry penalties that include the amputation of hands and feet, flogging, and death.
Islam has three major branches:
1. Sharia law is the political, constitutional branch. 2. Jihad, the military arm. 3. The religious branch - the belief in Allah from the Quran and Muhammad.
The political constitutional arm uses the religious arm to recruit fighters for the military arm, for jihad, jihadists, to conquer the world by using violence and propaganda until only Islam exists, leaving no room for diversity or tolerance.

By: Ofer binshtok. 09.0 JIHAD
(0: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad,
"We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad."
The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as:
(1) "Fighting is prescribed for you" (Koran 2:216);
(2) "Slay them wherever you find them" (Koran 4:89);
(3) "Fight the idolators utterly" (Koran );
and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
"I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah";
and the hadith reported by Muslim,
"To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it."
Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally attended, some twenty seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight. himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.)
THE OBLIGATORY CHARACTER OF JIHAD
09.1 Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others (0: the evidence for which is the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace),
"He who provides the equipment for a soldier in jihad has himself performed jihad,"
and Allah Most High having said:
"Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah's path with their property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to each. Allah has promised great good" (Koran 4:95).
If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it. In the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims.
The first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad (def: 09.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is speaking of when he says, "Jihad is a communal obligation," meaning upon the Muslims each year.
The second state is when non-Muslims invade a Muslim country or near to one, in which case jihad is personally obligatory (def: c3.2) upon the inhabitants of that country, who must repel the non-Muslims with whatever they can).
09.2 jihad is personally obligatory upon all 'those present in the battle lines (A: and to flee is an enormity (dis: pH)) (0: provided one is able to fight. If unable, because of illness or the death of one's mount when not able to fight on foot, or because one no longer has a weapon, then one may leave. One may also leave if the opposing non-Muslim army is more than twice the size of the Muslim force).
09.3 Jihad is also (0: personally) obligatory for everyone (0: able to perform it, male or female, old or young) when the enemy has surrounded the Muslims (0: on every side, having entered our territory, even if the land consists of ruins, wilderness, or mountains, for non-Muslim forces entering Muslim lands is a weighty matter that cannot be ignored, but must be met with effort and struggle to repel them by every possible means. All of which is if conditions permit gathering (A: the above-mentioned) people, provisioning them, and readying them for war. If conditions do not permit this, as when the enemy has overrun the Muslims such that they are unable to provision or prepare themselves for war, then whoever is found by a non-Muslim and knows he will be killed if captured is obliged to defend himself in whatever way possible. But if not certain that he will be killed, meaning that he might or might not be, as when he might merely be taken captive, and he knows he will be killed if he does not surrender, then he may either surrender or fight. A woman too has a choice between fighting or surrendering if she is certain that she will not be subjected to lin indecent act if captured. If uncertain that she will be safe from such an act, she is obliged to fight, and surrender is not permissible).
