In the first chapter of Romans, the apostle Paul lists one of the best insights into why mankind has given itself over to unrighteousness. Probably the most famous quote from that chapter is, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1:22). In verse 30, Paul mentions "inventors of evil things," and I really think it is a perfect fit for the 21st century.

In the past few years, the Islamic faith has been very busy inventing new forms of evil. If hell were awarded patents for new forms of iniquity, the followers of Allah would probably hold more of them than any other group on the planet. Every time I turn on the TV, I see new examples of some of their research work. Here are some of their more infamous accomplishments:

The 9/11 attack included a series of new innovations. The highjackers used box cutters as weapons, they targeted four aircraft at once, they selected planes that were full of jet fuel, and the aircraft were targeted against buildings.

No religion has a monopoly on the mistreatment of women, but Islam is still one of the worst in this category. What sets Islam apart is how it brainwashes women into thinking they are better off than non-Muslim women. Over the years, I’ve received several emails from Islamic followers who try to promote this twisted lie.

Islamic militants have pioneered the field of videotaping murder. Historically, most acts of butchery have been conducted in secret. For example, millions of people were systematically murdered during World War II, yet there are only a few photos or films of the perpetrators' handiwork. Today, there are many people who are proud to document their evil deeds. Several of their gruesome videos have been posted on the internet.

Last year, we had the scare regarding liquids on planes when Britain’s intelligence service uncovered a plot to hide liquid explosives in shampoo bottles that would be hand-carried onto the aircraft. Terrorists were planning on bringing down a dozen or more planes by mixing and detonating the bombs in mid-flight.

Muslim terrorist groups have been highly innovative in the area of suicide bombings. They were not the first to use this method of killing people, but they are credited for taking it to a new level. The average Islamic suicide bomb is designed to kill the maximum number of people. Most of these devices are packed with projectiles that are dispersed over a wide area.

Much imaginative thought has been applied to truck bombings. Islamic cells in Iraq have found all sorts of new ways to deliver explosives to their intended targets. One time a cement truck was used to carry the deadly load. They continue to this day to experiment with the size of the bombs. Just last week, a truck bomb carrying two tons of explosives killed more than 150 people. It was the deadliest single bombing of the four-year-old war.

We have now seen terrorists use chemical weapons. I had previously stated that we would see chemical terrorist attacks because of the progressive nature of sin. I now realize the inventive nature of Islamic terrorists will be the driving force behind the use of chemical agents to kill large numbers of innocent people.

The ongoing crisis with the 15 British sailors and marines is another example of Islam's drive for innovation. Most newspapers are calling them either hostages or captives. If it is true that these people were taken by ambush in Iraqi waters, they should be called prisoners of war. Iran captured them to use as a ploy to distract the West from its nuclear program. Showing the captives on television and forcing them to make confessions is a major step backwards for the Geneva Conventions.

I find it very frustrating to see Islam playing the role of "Teflon religion." The evil deeds of its followers never come back to taint the mother faith. It's like Adolf Hitler walking away scot free from any blame after the defeat of Nazi Germany. Because a unified global religion is part of Satan's master plan, we are not going to see Muslims portrayed as inventors of evil things.

Judgment will eventually come to the Islamic world. Someday, it will side with Israel's enemies and suffer a series of defeats.
