Here, St. John of Damascus, writing at the outbreak of Mohametanism.
There is also the superstition of the Ishmaelites which to this day prevails and keeps people in error, being a forerunner of the Antichrist. They are descended from Ishmael, [who] was born to Abraham of Agar, and for this reason they are called both Agarenes and Ishmaelites. They are also called Saracens, which is derived from Sarras kenoi, or destitute of Sara, because of what Agar said to the angel: ‘Sara hath sent me away destitute.’ [99] These used to be idolaters and worshiped the morning star and Aphrodite, whom in their own language they called Khabár, which means great. [100] And so down to the time of Heraclius they were very great idolaters. From that time to the present a false prophet named Mohammed has appeared in their midst. This man, after having chanced upon the Old and New Testaments and likewise, it seems, having conversed with an Arian monk, [101] devised his own heresy. Then, having insinuated himself into the good graces of the people by a show of seeming piety, he gave out that a certain book had been sent down to him from heaven. He had set down some ridiculous compositions in this book of his and he gave it to them as an object of veneration.
Something St. John of Damascus left out in this excerpt above, is the fact that
Mohammed was illiterate, and therefore wrote nothing. This "book" to which St. John refers, is the oral utterances that Mohammed spoke to his listeners. Over time, by his effective con-man tactics, he delivered to his followers (some of whom could write) a kind of stream of consciousness that had the effect of drawing together several erstwhile warring factions of pagans in the region. He thereby brought a kind of "peace" to their land that had not existed before. Instead of fighting each other, they would then join forces to go out and chop off the heads of Christians, for example.
Therefore, what had begun as scattered remnants of mere pagans was co-joined together rather like Frankenstein's monster, into a monotheist infidelity that might be seen as a "cut above" mere paganism.
Not only was Mohammed illiterate, but he was a polygamist, a pederast, a murderer and a blasphemer. Nonetheless, he is revered as somehow 'virtuous' by his ideological progeny. And the Freemasonic principle of egalitarianism (which spills over into the heresy of Americanism BTW) would have natural virtues on par with supernatural virtues. But that's another story for another time.
Furthermore, we have it by the most compelling testimony of Brigitte Gabriel, that the Arab Christians use the word "Allah" in their worship of the Blessed Trinity, because that is the word in the Arabic language for "God." This rather compels me to say, that the use of the vernacular at Mass is the beginning of problems for EVERYONE, and that perhaps they ought to stick to Greek, Latin or even (ancient) ARMENIAN, for crying out loud.
Finally, in this fascinating term, "Ishmaelites," we find the Mohammetan principle of the origins of their race (for it really is a race) and the lie upon which their false religion is founded. Go and ask any Moslem (not 'muslim') what was Abraham's son's name whom Abraham took to the altar to sacrifice? He will tell you, "ISHMAEL!"
So you see, they have a whole culture and foundation built on lies from the beginning,
just as their father the devil, who is a liar from the beginning.
A priest told me that he knows an exorcist who demanded the name of the devil possessing a person, during exorcism, and
the demon had said, "My name is Allah." Some time later, this priest tested out the power he had established as the exorcist over this same demon, trying it on a vast crowd of people in Arabia, and everyone in the crowd proved to him the truth of this demon's name:
Allah is a devil. Mohammetans are world-renown to revere the words,
"There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is His prophet."
They weave it into textiles and paint it on their walls and print it in their ribbons that they sell to Christians and Jєωs at a profit. Now, they're doing it to the American paper money!
You might find stamped on one dollar bills the under the words,
"IN GOD WE TRUST" these words:
"NO GOD BUT ALLAH" -- to which you might add,
"BUT ALLAH IS A DEVIL"
and
"MOHAMMED BURNS IN HELL"
Two can play this game.
