Based on a reassessment of primary documents from the beginning of Judaism through to the Reformation, author A. J. Deus evaluates the Judaic scriptures of the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims for their potential to stir hatred, violence, and terrorism. He searches for messages in the scriptures that may alter the economic behavior of societies. In this, the second volume of The Great Leap-Fraud, Deus exposes the frauds that overrun the Islamic faith. He focuses on the scriptural foundation of the Muslims and explains the status of terrorism, Jihad, and human rights in the historical context. Tying history to contemporary issues, Deus puts the evidence together that shows how the Jews used the doctrinal difference of the time to heave themselves into power and redeem Israel. He demonstrates how societies and economies have changed because of religion and shows the consequences of those who preach hatred against humanity. The findings in The Great Leap-Fraud are highly relevant to the crisis in the Middle East and the poor world: Intellectual framework and social norms in four Judaic religions; Social organization in the industry of religion; Interaction mechanism of violence and terrorism between believers and nonbelievers; Economic development and religiosity; The working of the secularization process In The Great Leap-Fraud, Deus argues that religious freedom poses the biggest threat to humanity, and he calls for the regulation of religion as an industry. He encourages citizens to look at religious history through unbiased eyes. See http://www.ajdeus.org for more information, previews and articles.

Flashback to Volume I

The Birth of Judaism

Faith is a difficult topic in social economics. Many authors evade it altogether or work with cynical sidekicks—and by doing so they ignore one of the building blocks of economic and cultural life. New archaeological evidence from Mexico hints at religion's instinctual property, having accompanied humanity since the time of hunters and gatherers. As a community-building force, religion might have bettered the chances of survival for any given group. Because of its abstract nature, religion can be abused for power, and people can easily be misled. With that purpose in mind, the men in charge would claim the ability to hold frightening evil forces at bay using their gods. Fearmongering is a strong tool in creating a faithful following and keeping it in line. On the upside, faith builds strong, cohesive communities that are often willing to die for their beliefs. The reasons people are easily susceptible to religion, from a receiver's point of view, are unexplored in social economics and need fundamental research. Such research may unlock broad secrets about seemingly irrational decisions. Belonging to religious groups may turn out to be more rational than what atheists and agnostics might like to think. It builds a strong sense of belonging, which translates into a deceptive perception of security in communities once they have crossed a threshold of size.

The research in The Great Leap-Fraud focuses on the sender's side of religion. It shows that the establishment of each of the Judaic religions was a rational, secular act with a purpose that is removed from divine inspiration. This finding was not premeditated—quite the contrary. This book was originally meant to be a chapter of a new approach to social economics that would recognize religion as one of the forces in the fight against poverty and terrorism. The trouble with this plan was that research for the book soon revealed that the history of the Judaic religions was riddled with fraud.

Countless historians have been ridiculed for the doubts they dared to raise about the order and historicity of religiously relevant events. However, while the notion of serial fraud seems to be almost universally accepted, starting over to find out what the likely avenue of history without such meddling might have been would probably amount to too great a task and too overwhelming a risk to reputation—and maybe life. This book represents the overwhelming amount of material that needs to be absorbed in order to come up with a path of history through unbiased eyes.

Stumbling over economic background information in the scripture that did not make sense in the context of the narratives, combined with sheer determination, led to the surprising and frightening conclusion that both Judaism and Christianity rest on premeditated frauds. They both originate from the same motif: establishment and redemption of Israel. For the land claim of Israel, the Palestinians were defrauded through the means of religion.

Just as Judaism was invented in the early third century BC to establish Israel, Christianity was brought forth at the turn of the second century with a strategy to reject the lifestyle of the Roman Empire and to refuse to partake in its economy. It worked.

The manipulative nature of the Judaic religions is so strong that the establishment of modern Israel must be questioned as an error. Unfortunately, the conclusion leads to the thought that the version of religious history taught at school may be misleading—so much so that little of value is learned, if anything, from its study at the expense of the taxpayers. As religious writers are the main sources of historic information over centuries of our heritage, the implications are even deeper. One of the reasons that this may be so is the tendency of experts and scholars to focus on relatively narrow areas of study that necessarily rely on the understanding of what happened before and after their time of interest. If that understanding is biased or follows a groupthink, the study of religious history is in vain.

For example, despite overwhelming evidence that the words "Christ" and "Christians" have been used in a different context, for church historians, these terms suffice as proof for the existence of their own faith since the fictional birth of Jesus Christ. There were so many christs, messiahs, prophets, and other charlatans that it is difficult to identify which were real.

When it comes to history of religion, the issues of groupthink and bias are particularly strong—so much so that religious writers of any given faith have had a vested interest in rewriting history according to their belief. Modern experts of religion do not seem to have an interest in correcting such revisions, as that process must inevitably lead to the collapse of their worldview and belief system. Hence, no means is too large to protect their truth. The chain of fraud is particularly strong where theocracies have had their hands on state archives—that is, throughout the former territories of the Roman and Persian Empire.

Heresies are building blocks that pave the path to violence and terrorism. The identification of heresies and their destruction is critical in a religion's long-term prospects. Evidence of other beliefs, cultural treasures, books, and people must be destroyed thoroughly and without mercy; this destruction continues still today.

Because of the scope of The Great Leap-Fraud, it is a matter of certainty that it is riddled with errors—some small, others catastrophic. However, striving for perfection would have inevitably led to these findings never being published. Having said that, the errors can be no worse than the ones of the universally accepted version of religious history, which is known to have been penetrated with fraudulent edits, rewrites, inventions, fabrications, and plagiarism. My hope is that Renaissance historians who question the current version of church history will pick up the line of thought of this book and see their findings in a new light. It will possibly help them shape a more accurate concept of history than the consensus today. This will lead to a better understanding of economic and social history that is desperately needed in the global fight against poverty and terrorism.

Professor Andrew Rippin of the University of Victoria explained to me that "Scholarship tends to work in slow, minute steps—and paradigm shifts are often only recognized after the fact." The Great Leap-Fraud proposes such a shift for the Judaic religions, and it is not certain that it will hold the test of unbiased, professional scrutiny. However, today's knowledge about religious history is advanced enough that it is commonly accepted that much of it came from authors...
