WHY DO THEY HATE US? Islamics hate us because we have not submitted to Islam. Islamic scholarship divides the world in two: 1) The House of Islam (dar al-Islam): nations submitted to Islamic rule. 2) The House of War (dar al-harb): nations that have not submitted to Islam, so it is incumbent on dar al-Islam to make war upon dar al-harb until all nations submit to the will of Allah and accept Sharia law! Islam’s message: Submit or Be Conquered	Muslim Persecution of Christians If video is blocked by YouTube, watch it here
