Since the time of Mohammed, it has been Muslim practice to offer one's enemy the option of conversion before embarking on Jihad against them. In the last decade of his life Mohammed sent letters to the princes, kings and chiefs of most of the various tribes and kingdoms in the known world. This included Iran, The Byzantine Empire, Ethiopia, Egypt, Yemen and Hira (modern-day Jordan). If the leader refused the invitation to convert to Islam, the Muslims were religiously, legally and morally justified in declaring Jihad against that kingdom. Though most in the West are not aware of it, this practice continues today. Such letters have been addressed to the US and our leaders by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Osama bin Laden. We ignore these veiled declarations of war at our own peril.
