JIHAD!!!!
During the civil war, the citizens of Ethiopia who have never fully adopted the Christian religion started to distance themselves from any form of religious life. Since the country was divided, their citizens returned to their former idols and began to erect temples of the various gods whom they deemed protectors of their cities. The most of people became atheists and they started to believe in only one God – money.
This terrible and widespread decadence prompted several religious movements that were aimed at the restoration of the traditional virtues and Christian morality. One of the movements was led by an Arabian priest called Muhammad.
Muhammad was born in Mecca, a small city on the Arabian coast of the Red Sea, just across the great port Asmara. He was brought up in a Christian family and he became a Christian priest at the age of 18. He travelled to Frysia to get the best religious education in the city of Sneek. At the time he arrived there, the Frysians have completed the greatest Cathedral in the entire world and Muhammad was able to marvel at the beauty of this wonder of Christian architecture. His tutor in the matters of the faith was no one less than Saint Thomas Aquitaine, the founder of modern Christian theology. He was happy to teach young Muhammad in all aspects of the religion and after 5 years of study it was time for Muhammad to return home.
Leaving Christian Frysia, he didn’t expect to find his beloved Ethiopia in the state of anarchy. The idolaters came to power in almost all cities and Christians were ridiculed and sometimes even prosecuted. They had to hide in the catacombs once again. Seeing this picture in the streets of Mecca, Muhammad pledged that he would return there one day and cast out all idolaters and heretics. He travelled to the distant city of Karnak, where he found fertile soil for his preaching. Soon the citizens of Karnak became the moral backbone of Ethiopia and a new kind of religion was formulated: One much more strict and much less tolerant than Christianity, a religion with many constraints requiring total obedience to the almighty God called Allah from that time on, a religion preaching the Holy War – Jihad – against all infidels and enemies of faith. This new religion, Islam, made Ethiopia strong once again and her armies eager to spread the faith all over the world.
In memory of this era, a Mosque was erected in Karnak. In this Mosque, the first speech of Prophet Muhammad is kept, the one in which he first spoke of Jihad!!!!
