Posted on 03/31/2006 1:05:26 PM PST The Saudi fatwa reads as follows: "The Permanent Council for Scholarly Research and Religious Legal Judgment has studied the queries some individuals brought before the Chief Mufti… concerning the topic of the construction of houses of worship for unbelievers in the Arabian Peninsula, such as the construction of churches for Christians and houses of worship for Jews and for other unbelievers, (Question One can the Islamic nation of Saudia Arabia Tolerate any other religion in its borders – No! and the question of the owners of companies or organizations allotting a fixed place for their unbelieving workers to perform the rites of unbelief. (Question two can the Islamic nation allow anyone within its borders to build any building for any other religion within its borders – No!

"After considering the queries the Council answered as follows:

"All religions other than Islam are heresy and error. Any place designated for worship other than [that of] Islam is a place of heresy and error, for it is forbidden to worship Allah in any way other than the way that Allah has prescribed in Islam. The law of Islam (shari'a) is the final and definitive religious law. It applies to all men and jinns and abrogates all that came before it. This is a matter about which there is consensus.
Forget the fact that Mohammed was an Apostate Roman Catholic.
Forget the fact that according the Roman Catholic Church Mohammad is a Heretic and in Error – This is a question of who begat who.
Forget the fact that Islam and the Koran in their own words derive their authority from the five books of Moses
Forget the fact that according to the Five Books of Moses Mohammed is a Heretic and in Error -- – This is again a question of who begat who you can not claim your stuff gets its authority from something and then say its heresy.
Forget the fact that the Bible and the Roman Catholic Church both predate Mohammad and that both were plagiarized by Muhammad. – This is the child wanting to murder his parents and his siblings and his relatives out of existence.

"Those who claim that there is truth in what the Jews say, or in what the Christians say - whether he is one of them or not - is denying the Koran and the Prophet Muhammad's sunna and the consensus of the Muslim nation…

Allah said: 'The only reason I sent you was to bring good tidings and warnings to all [Koran 34:28]'; In Moses and Christ’s cases God bore them witness by signs and wonders and spoke audibly from heaven to bear them witness that God has indeed sent them -- Mohammad on the other hand is much like Joseph Smith and many preachers today that we have only their word their say so that they are agents of the Lord.

'Oh people, I am Allah's Messenger to you all [Koran 7:158]' I repeat Mohammad spoke these words with neither signs nor wonders nor the audible voice of God and to believe such things and stake the salvation of your soul for all eternity on the oratory skills of a mere man is foolishness.

'Allah's religion is Islam (This is an untranslated word for Peace) [3:19]';
This says Allah’s or God’s religion is peace – to slay someone in the name of God is that peace? To war against people in the name of religion is that peace, To deny others right to exist if they follow not after your God is that peace? The answer is no. Therefore the Teachings of Mohammad as taught are not Islam they are not peace.

'Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him [3:85]'; (I Translate this as: Whosoever seeks a religion other than peace – the words should not be accepted from him) – This passage again disqualifies Mohammed and all the followers of Modern Islam

'The unbelievers from among the people of the Book [i.e. Jews and Christians] and the polytheists are in hellfire and will be [there] forever. They are the worst of all creation… [98:6].' Unbelieving Christians and Jews as spoken of in the Bible and idolaters will burn in hell forever – they are the worst of all creation – Without obeying God’s commandments, without prostrating yourself before Christ and accepting God’s gracious atonement for your sins there can be no salvation. – this passage offers no way or truth to come to eternal life it only condemns and leaves its followers to walk in death and darkness.

"Therefore, religion necessitates the prohibition of unbelief, and this requires the prohibition of worshiping Allah in any way other than that of the Islamic shari'a. Included in this is the prohibition against building houses of worship according to the abrogated religious laws, Jewish or Christian or anything else, since these houses of worship - whether they be churches or other houses of worship - are considered heretical houses of worship, because the worship that is practiced in them is in violation of the Islamic shari'a, which abrogates all religious law that came before it. Allah says about the unbelievers and their deeds: 'I will turn to every deed they have done and I will make them into dust in the wind [Koran 25:23].'

"Thus the 'ulama agreed that it is forbidden to build heretical houses of worship - such as Christian churches - in a Muslim country, and that it is forbidden for there to be two directions of prayer coexisting in a Muslim country.
And likewise it is forbidden any other houses of worship to exist in a Muslim country or for believers or any other religion to exist in a Muslim country. The answer is only conversion at the point of a sword or death.

And this will not go away for when he that letteth shall be taken away the man of sin shall be revealed he that letteth as we have described elsewhere is the old Roman Empire who’s last vestiges are in the EU and the Roman Catholic Church once the EU is stripped away the Forth Beast of Daniel shall arise and shall with impunity destroy all that do not have the right to exist in an Islamic state the slaughter will begin in Europe and move through the middle east, Africa, Asia. And none the US, China and Russia shall not be able to spare any from their hand.

and that there should be no symbol of unbelief, neither churches nor anything else. They agreed that it is obligatory to destroy any church or other heretical house of worship that was built after [the advent of] Islam, and it is forbidden to oppose the ruler in the matter of its destruction, and he must be obeyed.
And by these means they shall as I have prophesied leave not stone upon another in the churches and great cathedrals in all of Europe. And they shall plunder and burn and not leave one stone upon another in the Vatican and the blood of their slain shall rise to the horse bridal and the blood with flow for 1600 furlongs. I have seen the dead burned and piled in the streets of France and clogging the rivers I have seen the fear of the people trying to flee at airports and at the docks when no planes or boast are left and I have seen the poor in an endless stream marking to Russia the last safe refuge.

This is indeed a desperate hour, a time of rising darkness, but the Lord would say Oh ye nations of Europe if thou shalt repent with all your heart, and turn form your evil and perverse ways that I shall heal your lands and I shall hold back the hand of Islam – If Indeed you shall come to a personal relationship with your God and Lord Jesus Christ and shall speak of His love and mercy to all around you day and night I shall hold back the forces of darkness And I will spare thee and thy children. But these shall hear not, these shall not repent for their hearts are set to sin and they shall indeed die in their sins and all that has been spoken about them even all the curses in the book shall come upon them and their children.

"The 'ulama agreed that building heretical houses of worship, such as churches, in the Arabian Peninsula is the most weighty of sins and the worst of crimes, because there are reliable and explicit sayings of the Prophet [hadith] that prohibit the existence of two religions in the Arabian peninsula [i.e. another religion in addition to Islam], among them the Prophet's words that were related by [Imam] Malik and others and were recorded in the Sahihayn [the two most authoritative collections of hadith for Sunni Muslims compiled by Al-Bukhari and by Muslim]: 'There shall not be two religions together in the Arabian Peninsula.'

"The Arabian Peninsula is Islam's sanctuary and its basis. It is forbidden to allow or permit unbelievers to penetrate it or to receive citizenship there or to buy property, not to speak of building churches for the worshipers of the cross. There is no place in the Arabian Peninsula for two religions, but only for one - the religion of Islam, sent by Allah through Muhammad, His Prophet and Messenger. There will not be two directions of worship there, but just one single direction - the direction of the Muslims, towards the Ka'ba in Mecca. Praise Allah who enabled the rulers of these lands to ward off these heretical houses of worship from the pure Islamic land.

"[We turn to] Allah, to whom we complain about the heretical houses of worship that the enemies of Islam brought, like the churches and others, to many Muslim countries. We ask Him to protect Islam from their cunning and deceit.

"If one allows or consents to the establishment of heretical houses of worship, like churches, or if one allots a fixed place in a Muslim country [for them to worship] - this is the worst sort of aid to unbelief and of bringing their rites into the open, [in defiance of what is said in Koran 5:2] 'Help one another to good deeds and fear of Heaven, and don't help one another to sin and aggression. Fear Allah, for Allah punishes harshly.'

"Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya said: 'Whosoever thinks that churches are Allah's houses and serve as places for His worship, or whosoever thinks that the deeds of the Jews and the Christians are worship of Allah and obedience to His Prophet, and whosoever likes this and permits it or helps them [the unbelievers] to open [houses of worship] and to perform their religion and thinks this to be proximity or obedience [to Allah] - he is an unbeliever.'

"He also said: 'Whosoever thinks that visiting dhimmis [monotheist non-Muslims under Muslim rule] in their churches is proximity to Allah, he is an apostate. If he didn't know that this was forbidden, he should be so informed, and then if he persists, he is an apostate.'

"We find refuge in Allah in order not to backtrack from the right path… Those who turned back on their tracks after the right path was clear to them - Satan seduced them and filled their hearts with false hopes [Koran 47:25]'; 'They said to those who hated what Allah revealed: we will obey you in some matters, but Allah knows your secrets [Koran 47:26]'; 'How will it be when the angels take their souls and strike them on their faces and their backsides [Koran 47:27]'; 'This is because they followed that which angered Allah and they hated Allah's satisfaction, so he thwarts their actions [Koran 47:28]'.
