Pray, Then Prey

Isaac and Ishmael: The Origin of Middle East Conflict and the ...

It is said of the Almighty that He is a jealous
god, angered that humanity would have the
insolent temerity to overlook His omnipotent
omnipresence as the creator of all that exists
to find faith elsewhere. For, as it is said, the god
of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael found favour in
these three progenitors of religious humanity
whose numbers encompass the globe while
zealously keeping the faith. Even as the pious
descendants of Isaac quibble over the deeper
meaning inherent in the sacred scriptures
those of Ishmael take serious note of the basics
of their commandments given them by this
jealous god to go forth to induct those who defy
obeisance to Allah either unto Islam or death.
And so was the Party of God created to do His
ineffable bidding for it remains an obligation
of the faith to bring those of the nations of war
into the serene nation of peace that is Islam.
And so set they forth to convince their enemies
of a severely shortened lifespan should they
defy the injunction to surrender to Islam. Threats
made all the more manifest by the stockpiling
of lethal weaponry among the people of peace
who now and again wage deadly conquest in
the name of the original warrior of god in
whose own name, Mohammad, his followers
are inspired. As fate decrees there are sundry
occasions when preparations for combat go
awry when munitions deploy spontaneously
all careful, covert preparations rent asunder.
This too, the work of the great unseen god.
