Notable Non-Muslims

Speros Vryonis Jr. (born 1928)
is an American author and historian of Greek descent and a specialist in Greek

currently the AHIF Senior Fellow for Hellenism and for Greek and Turkish
Studies.
“The process itself is described in its essential details by the Georgian
chronicle for northeast Asia Minor and the adjoining Georgian regions. The
process which it describes was not unique to the northeast, for we see it in
the west and the south of Asia Minor as well.
“‘The emirs spread out, like locusts, over the face
of the land…The countries of Asis-Phorni, Clardjeth, up to the shores of the sea,
Chawcheth, Adchara, Samtzkhe, Karthli, Argoueth, Samokalako, and Dchqondid were
filled with Turks who pillaged and enslaved all the inhabitants. In a single
day they burned Kouthathis, Artanoudj, and hermitages of Clardjeth, and they
remained in these lands until the first snows, devouring the land, massacring
all those who had fled to the forests to the rocks, to the caves…The calamities
of Christianity did not come to an end soon thereafter, for at the approach of
spring, the Turks returned to carry out the same ravages and left [again] in
the winter. The [inhabitants] however were unable to plant or to harvest. The
land, [thus] delivered to slavery, had only animals of the forests and wild
beasts for inhabitants. Karthli was in the grip of intolerable calamities such
as one cannot compare to a single devastation or combination of evils of past
times. The holy churches served as stables for their horses, the sanctuaries of
the Lord served as repairs for the abominations [Islam]. Some of the priests
were immolated during the Holy communion itself, and others were carried off
into harsh slavery without regard to their old age. The virgins were defiled,
the youths circumcised, and the infants taken away. The conflagration,
extending its ravages, consumed all the inhabited sites, the rivers, instead of
water, flowed blood. I shall apply the sad words of Jeremiah, which he applied
so well to such situations: “the honorable children of Zion, never put to the
rest by misfortunes, now voyaged as slaves on foreign roads. The streets of
Zion now wept because there was no one [left] to celebrate the feasts. The
tender mothers, in place of preparing with their hands the nourishment of the
sons, were themselves nourished from the corpses of these dearly loved. Such and
worse was the situation at the time.’…
“By the time [of the late 11th and early 12th centuries, i.e.
(1083-1125)]…the nomads had effected permanent settlement in these regions,
moving into the abandoned and devastated areas with their tents, families, and
flocks of livestock.[110]”
AND NOW, for illustrative quotes the President. Our
President is a Muslim son and grandson of Kenyan born Muslims, a world class
and credentialed historian, a lawyer, and a man of robust and unimpeachable
honesty. Here is Imam Barack Hussein Obama:

AND NOW, for more scholarly quotes from Imam Obama, see the URL.
OR, beside Imam Obama’s
insights above, a few Quranic verses that have insired many Islamo-fascists.
Qur'an 3:32—Say: Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back,
then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers.
Qur'an 48:29—Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are
with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You
see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from
Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on
their faces (foreheads) from the traces of (their) prostration (during
prayers). This is their description in the Taurat (Torah). But their
description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its
shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands straight on
its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the disbelievers with them.
Allah has promised those among them who believe (i.e. all those who follow
Islamic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet Muhammad SAW till the Day of
Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward
(i.e. Paradise).
Qur'an 4:24—Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property—desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
Qur'an 5:33—The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement.
Qur'an 9:5—Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Qur'an 9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day [notice it says "fight those who do not believe," not "fight people who are attacking you"], nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book [the people of the book are Jews and Christians], until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Qur'an 9:73—O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the
hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the
destination.
Qur'an 9:111—Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement.
Qur'an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.

Qur'an 2:106—Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be
forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah
has power over all things?
From the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the Collect for
Good Friday:
O MERCIFUL God, who hast made all men, and hatest
nothing that thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather
that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks,
Infidels, and Hereticks, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart,
and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to thy flock,
that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made
one fold under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth
with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
