Western Civilisation

Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was  superior to anything Islam had developed.  Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam.  Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions.  Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'.  Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.

Christian scientists and thinkers in the Middle Ages

Make me a similar list of Moslems.....

 

In 'God's Philosophers', James Hannam lists by my count, about 111 Catholic Medieval scientists who during the 'Middle Ages', prepared the way for modern science and technology. The most ardent Moslemophile screeching that Islam created the modern world, might be able to name 5 Moslems during the same period [including the usual tired, disreputable names of Averroes etc. yawn, boring]; who impacted the European scientific mind. For the big-brains, a handful of Moslems who might have slightly amended or added to Greek thought; is certainly more important to modernity, than the dozens of European Christians who actually invented it. That is why they are so clever – whatever reality proves, believe the opposite.  50 men from Hannam's list are below.

Phd thesis: Make a similar list of Moslem geniuses and innovators....


Given the names above the 'middle ages' must surely have a been a terribly dark and horrendous time of stunted intellects and knuckle-dragging sack clothe wearing morons....unlike today of course with the cults of reality-tv, globaloneywarming, gay, Islam-is-Peace and the state. The poorly named Enlightenment was of course built on the advances from the Middle Ages, Voltaire, his insanity and his ego notwithstanding. And the above list of names is only a very partial compendium of what could be identified.


Buried in European vaults and libraries are literally tonnes of Latin documents from the Middle Ages – but who reads Latin anymore ? Early vulgate language treatises also reside in their collective dust, unused, unread, unknown and in vast quantity. But why bother to read those ? Who needs to do real work these days ? Surely we only need to listen to uninformed bigots like Gibbon or Diderot, who never investigated, understood, nor had any intimate knowledge of the 'middle ages'. Much easier to let others do the thinking for us, especially if they only confirm our prejudices and ignorance.

 

Sura 3 and the demand for unending Jihad against non-Muslims

Mein Koran is Mein Koran. There is no 'Islamism'.

ISLAMISTS EXECUTE FIVE CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA - Release International 

3-102: O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except in a state of Islam.


3-100: You are the best of Peoples, evolved for mankind...If only the People of the Book had faith...but most of them are perverted transgressors.


Sura 3 is a ‘moderate’ Islamic chapter full of piety and hope, or so the Infidel will be told. 53 verses or 27% of the text is openly hostile and violent to Unbelievers. Like many long Koranic chapters, it is actually a 4 part themed rant:


1) Obey Muhammad who is always conflated with the Allah thing or Hub'Allah,


2) Destroy, humiliate and fight Unbelievers,


3) Those Moslem males who obey the moon deity will be rewarded with power in this life [over Unbelievers]; and an afterlife in paradise [the Koran never mentions what happens to the female, depicted by Muhammad as stupid and consigned by him and Allah to Hell], and


4) Moslems who apostatize or even doubt the Koran, Muhammad or the will of Allah will perish in hellfire, punished by the all-knowing, all-seeing Meccan moon deity.


3-7: It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad SAW) the Book (this Qur'an). In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book [and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkam (commandments, etc.), Al-Fara'id (obligatory duties) and Al-Hudud (legal laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers, etc.)]; and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials, etc.), and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings save Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say:


"We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord." And none receive admonition except men of understanding. (Tafsir At-Tabari).


The above is a clear expression of cultism. Obey, shut up and follow. Those who don't follow the program are doomed in this life and the next.


Sura 3 spends a lot of time justifying Jihad and going through the early battles between the Medinan based Moslem bandits and forces of Jews and of Mecca. Needless to say, Allah makes it clear that Moslems are blessed and guaranteed victory over the Unbelievers. Violence in the name of the Allah cult, including an array of angels given by Allah to Moslems in the battle of Badr [622 AD, 3:123], is mandatory and expected. This chapter thus extends the violence and hate found in Sura 2. Unbelievers are simply demonized.


Sura 3 is one of the later revelations given by the moon deity to the greatest man in history.  Though this chapter is not as important as the last 2 which are Suras 9 and 5; nor as important as Sura 2, it is certainly one of the vital parts of Koranic theology, given to Muhammad near the end of his tyranny by his protector the Lord Hubal or Allah.


What does Sura 3 say about non-Moslems? A lot of violence. And we mean a lot. By violence we can use its true definition as a noun, which includes both material and other-worldly force as well as overt supremacist rantings.


The key to the Koran is this: it is dichotomous. Obey the moon deity and be 'saved'. Disobey and be killed, crucified, executed, or humiliated in both this life and the next [5:33].


Violence and Manichean supremacism in Sura 3 can be found in the following verses:

4, 7, 10, 11, 13, 19, 21, 24, 26, 28, 55, 56, 57, 60, 75, 77, 82, 85, 87, 88, 100, 102, 105, 106, 110, 111, 112, 116, 117, 118, 119, 125, 127, 128, 131, 149, 151, 152, 156, 162, 167, 169, 175, 176, 177, 178, 180, 181, 182, 185, 192, 196, 197


Some of the more colourful calls to violence include:


3-10 Verily, those who disbelieve, neither their properties nor their offspring will avail them whatsoever against Allah; and it is they who will be fuel of the Fire.


3-12 Say (O Muhammad SAW) to those who disbelieve: "You will be defeated and gathered together to Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest."


3-28 Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliya (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allah in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allah warns you against Himself (His Punishment) and to Allah is the final return.


3-56 "As to those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."


3-106 On the Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) when some faces will become white and some faces will become black; as for those whose faces will become black (to them will be said): "Did you reject Faith after accepting it? Then taste the torment (in Hell) for rejecting Faith."


3-116 Surely, those who reject Faith (disbelieve in Muhammad SAW as being Allah's Prophet and in all that which he has brought from Allah), neither their properties, nor their offspring will avail them aught against Allah. They are the dwellers of the Fire, therein they will abide. (Tafsir AtTabari, Vol. 4, Page 58).


3-131 And fear the Fire, which is prepared for the disbelievers.


3-192 "Our Lord! Verily, whom You admit to the Fire, indeed, You have disgraced him, and never will the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) find any helpers.


3-196, 197 Let not the free disposal (and affluence) of the disbelievers throughout the land deceive you. A brief enjoyment; then, their ultimate abode is Hell; and worst indeed is that place for rest.


The above is pretty clear to any except Western Marxists, most academics, the media and the political elite. Islam is not Islamism, it is simply Islam. The world is cleanly divided into two parts. The house of War is the domain of the Infidel and must be warred against by pious Muhammandans.  Sura 3 contains many verses which mandate aggressive war against the Unbeliever on behalf of Allah [see 120-128, 149-160] for example.


Allah is the only free-will force in the Universe and he or it, will of course grant victory to those of 'faith', with 'faith', and 'believing' simply denoting pious Moslems and those who follow the Koran and Muhammad. But you must 'strive' against the Infidel and be rest assured of victory [3:123], as was achieved at Badr, and be content in knowing that Moslems will be granted paradise and the Infidel will find his abode in hellfire. 


No charity, no forgiveness, no love, no tolerance is expressed for non-Muslims in Sura 3, or any other Sura.  Only declarations of war and hate.  Sura 3 is a good read for those who wish to understand the Jihadic culture of Muhammad’s cult. 

There are no mistranslations of Mein Koran. Mein Koran is simply Mein Koran.

Even Yousef Ali's contrived translation cannot hide the violence against non-Muslims.

Well over a century ago, in a debate over budget items, Churchill famously backtracked by calling the issue at hand, and its rather obvious mistake; a 'terminological inexactitude'. The last word is not even a word, but it denotes the obfuscation of the issue at hand. The premise of so much modern political bafflegab: 'I don't know what a woman is, I am not a womanologist....'   Lawyers are good with such verbiage, as are politicians desperate to keep their family business and guaranteed fortunes alive.

 

With Islam the same nonsense applies. 1600 verses of hate speech, violence and intolerance toward non-Moslems exists in Mein Koran. Yet the Moslem and his apologist declare 'translational inexactitudes'. There are no mistranslations. The Koran in all its violent gibberish has been translated into Western tongues since the early Christian period. Mein Koran is simply Mein Koran. Islam or submission is Jihadic, violent, aggressive, misogynist, racist, supremacist, stupid, incoherent, and ridiculous; no matter how hard you try to make it come out the opposite.

 

We should also add the poverty of the Moslem–Arabic translation of the Bible. Given that Mein Koran is 'superior' to the Bible, it is obvious, and stands to reason, that Moslems had little incentive to translate into their vernacular imperial language [Arabic] a true rendering of the Bible. Throughout history this arrogant, ignorant indifference by Moslems toward the Bible has manifested itself. Indeed, the Bible though inanely plagiarized and corrupted within Mein Koran, was never given a tithe of study or investigation within Islam until modern times. No thorough and accurate copy of the Bible was made by Moslems until the 20th century.

 

However, the Western mind, alert, curious, practical, reasonable, coherent, did for 1500 years translate Mein Koran and in the modern era. Consider just a few modern translations of Mein Koran to English. We have:

 

-George Sale's translation in 1734

-Rodwell 1861

-Palmer 1880

-Wherry 1882

-Khan, Moslem translation into English, 1905

-Hairat, Moslem translation into English, 1919

-Pickthal a converted English Moslem, 1930

-Yusuf Ali, Moslem translation into English, 1934

-Arberry 1955

-Mercier, 1956

-Dawood, 1974

 

Yusuf Ali's 1934 translation is the most famous, used and copied. However, the reader must know that Ali is a Moslem apologist, and he changes some verses to make the Quran look more benign. Ali also numbered the verses, which never appear in any of the ancient Koranic 'originals' [there are many Korans not just one]. I use the Ali Koran to produce the hate speech verses, so even Islam's greatest apologist, cannot cleanse what the book really states.

 

In some ways Ali serves a purpose. He is so obsessed with justifying his cult that he only proves its fascistic theology. His lies, adumbration, footnotes, additions and exaggerations are a raised flag to any objective seeker of truth about Islam. If Ali needs to amend, erase, or fabricate, what does that really say about his cult? When a cult lies, the answer is obvious. It is not what it purports to be. Islam is Islam. Mein Koran is Mein Koran. Jihad is Jihad.

Islamophobia does not exist. Islamo Fascism does exist.

1400 years of Jihad. Maybe the idiots of the world will wake up.

Muslims want to:

  • Kill the Infidel
  • Rape the Infidel
  • Conquer the Infidel and rule the planet
  • Forcibly convert the Infidel 
  • 'Kill, execute, crucify and humiliate' Christians (Sura 5:33)
  • Kill apostates 

Yet if you object to 1400 years of Jihad, destruction, annihilation of Christianity and other non-Muslims systems and religions, you are the problem.  You are phobic.  You have a mental problem.  When 5000 Black Christian Nigerians are raped and slaughtered this year by Black Nigerian Muslims, it is the fault of the Black Christian Nigerians.  After all, the climate made the Muslims burn down their churches with priests inside, rape their women and take over their lands.  Or if not the climate, than 'tribal warfare' and 'inter-tribal conflicts'.  

 Historian Efraim Karsh summarises just how stupid 'Islamophobia' as a term is:

Styling himself the “Seal of the Prophets”, sent by God to pass his ultimate message to humankind, Muhammad expanded Islam from a purely Arab creed to a universal religion that knew no territorial or national boundaries. He also established the community of believers, or the umma, as the political framework for the practice of this religion in all territories it conquered; and he devised the concept of jihad, “exertion in the path of Allah”, as he called his god, as the primary vehicle for the spread of Islam. Muhammad introduced this concept shortly after his migration to Medina as a means to entice his local followers into raiding the Meccan caravans, developing and amplifying it with the expansion of his political ambitions until it became a rallying call for world domination. As he told his followers in his farewell address: “I was ordered to fight all men until they say, ‘There is no god but Allah.’”

In doing so, Muhammad at once tapped into the Middle East’s millenarian legacy and ensured its perpetuation for many centuries to come. From the first Arab-Islamic empire of the mid-seventh century to the Ottomans, the last great Muslim empire, the story of Islam has been the story of the rise and fall of universal empires and, no less important, of imperialist dreams. Politics during this lengthy period was characterised by a constant struggle for regional, if not world mastery in which the dominant power sought to subdue, and preferably eliminate, all potential challengers. …

It is true that this pattern of historical development is not uniquely Middle Eastern or Islamic. Other parts of the world, Europe in particular, have had their share of imperial powers and imperialist expansion, while Christianity’s universal vision is no less sweeping than that of Islam. The worlds of Christianity and Islam, however, have developed differently in one fundamental respect. The Christian faith won over an existing empire in an extremely slow and painful process, and its universalism was originally conceived in purely spiritual terms that made a clear distinction between God and Caesar. By the time it was embraced by the Byzantine emperors as a tool for buttressing their imperial claims, three centuries after its foundation, Christianity had in place a countervailing ecclesiastical institution with an abiding authority over the wills and actions of all believers.

The birth of Islam, by contrast, was inextricably linked with the creation of a world empire and its universalism was inherently imperialist. It did not distinguish between temporal and religious powers, which were combined in the person of Muhammad, who derived his authority directly from Allah and acted at one and the same time as head of the state and head of the church. This allowed the prophet to cloak his political ambitions with a religious aura and to channel Islam’s energies into its instrument of aggressive expansion, there being no internal organism of equal force to counterbalance it.

Whereas Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of God, Muhammad used God’s name to build an earthly kingdom. He spent the last 10 years of his life fighting to unify Arabia under his reign. Had it not been for his sudden death on June 8th 632, he would have most probably expanded his rule well beyond the peninsula. Even so, within a decade of Muhammad’s death, a vast empire, stretching from Iran to Egypt and from Yemen to northern Syria, had come into being under the banner of Islam in one of the most remarkable examples of empire-building in world history. Long after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the abolition of the Caliphate in the wake of World War I, the link between religion, politics and society remains very much alive in the Muslim and Arab worlds.

If Christendom was slower than Islam in marrying religious universalism with political imperialism, it was faster in shedding both notions. By the 18th century, the West had lost its religious messianism. Apart from in the Third Reich, it had lost its imperial ambitions by the mid-20th century. Islam has retained its imperialist ambition to this day.

Imperialist.  Militarist.  Totalitarian.  Pagan.  Quite Fascist.  This is the cult of Muhammad.  It has no alignment, whatsoever, with a modern society.  

Sura 4: Mein Koran and Slavery. A common theme and injunction.

The Al-Lah is very concerned about slavery.

 

Slavery is a vital component to Mein Koran and Islam.  This is one reason amongst many why the Meccan moon cult is irreligious.  Christianity frees a person from bondage, slavery and levels society.  We are all equal in front of God.  It matters not if you are rich or poor.  A religion such as Christianity will promote free-will, rationality, faith through reason and the liberation of the mind, body and soul.  It will demand equality in justice and in society at large and expect a person to do unto others as they would have done to them.  Charity, forgiveness, welfare and health care are outcomes of a religion.

 

Not so with Muhammad’s cult.  It is banal, primitive, aggressive, and devoted to slavery in many forms.  The Musulman is the slave of the Al Lah or moon idol of Mecca.  Women are the slaves of men.  Whites and non-Muslims are slaves of the Umma or cult of Muhammad, forever in a house of war, until subjugated and enslaved, or forced to convert (a golden age for modern quackademics).  Non Musulman women are to be taken by ‘the right hand’ as sex or domestic slaves, answerable to their male Musulman masters.

 

Muhammad possessed and traded in slaves. He also had 15-20 sex concubines arranged and presented for his erotic pleasures.  Have a read of Mein Koran to see how it venerates slavery in the image of its mad founder. 

 

4:036:  Worship Allah and join none with Him in worship, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor), the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful;

 

There are about 420 pages in the Koran. The word 'slaves' appears on 226 of them. The word ‘slave’ in the singular, is found on 109 pages. Together 'slave' and 'slaves' are found in 335 pages or in about 80% of the Koran. At the verse level these terms comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. It does appear that the moon deity of Mecca or ‘The Lord’, the Al-Lah, approves of, and is concerned with submission (Islam) and 'slavery'.

 

Sura 4 reviewed here, is rather obsessed with knavery. ‘Only’ 30 % of the Sura preaches hate and violence against the Infidel. A large part of the rest demands submission to Muhammad. Since Muhammad is the only human possessor of 'truth' your role in life is to follow, obey and never deviate from Koranic totalitarianism. Be a good slave:

 

Islam promotes slavery. The enslavement of non-Moslems, Whites, Blacks, Hindus and Buddhists is an animating and important feature of Muhammad's cult. 10-15 million Blacks were transhipped north from Black Africa to the Moslem heartlands. This is the same number of Whites taken by Moslems from 630 AD to 1900 AD. Even in Koranic theology there is much discussion about the slaves. Sura 4:3 and 24 discuss polygamy, marrying young girls and sex-slave girls.

 

4:025 is quite explicit: And whoever of you have not the means wherewith to wed free, believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess, and Allah has full knowledge about your Faith, you are one from another. Wed them with the permission of their own folk (guardians, Auliya' or masters) and give them their Mahr according to what is reasonable; they (the above said captive and slave-girls) should be chaste, not adulterous, nor taking boy-friends….

 

The Koran has some rather odd and pre-iron age rules relating to compensation around freeing slaves and paying blood money, if a believer is murdered by mistake. This is a text that one would expect to find in an early iron age culture:

 

4:092: It is not for a believer to kill a believer except (that it be) by mistake, and whosoever kills a believer by mistake, (it is ordained that) he must set free a believing slave and a compensation (blood money, i.e Diya) be given to the deceased's family, unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you and he was a believer; the freeing of a believing slave (is prescribed), and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, compensation (blood money - Diya) must be paid to his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this (the penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive months in order to seek repentance from Allah. And Allah is Ever AllKnowing, AllWise.

 

The above ‘law’ is truly barbaric. If a Moslem kills another Moslem by mistake, the criminal can get away with the murder by freeing a sex slave and paying some blood money. Now that is justice! Such 'laws' inform Sharia and provide more than a mild discomfort for the Marxist-Moslem multi-cult, who whine that Moslem 'law' is the same as Western law. Late bronze age codes around blood money and slave sacrifice have nothing to do with modern jurisprudence.  

 

In any event slavery, which is not a part of any 'religion' worthy of the name, but certainly a distinctive feature of mindless cults, is a major theme within the Koran and Islamic history. Perhaps the pious post-modern can explain how slavery is freedom, and sex concubinage female equality.

 

G. B. Adams and Civillisation during the Middle Ages

No Catholic Civilisation. No modern world.

Civilization during the Middle Ages by George Burton Adams | Goodreads

It is refreshing, indeed mandatory, to read common sense and real perspectives from the past. Out of the dark and gloom of the modern era of 'scientism' [abiogensis, plant food causes climate, panspermia, life on dead rocks, algae became Achmed etc.]; and into the light of learning. In a culture which praises transgendered bathrooms and applauds a bronze age moon cult as enlightened, it is difficult to understand where civilization came from and why it formed. There is no 'evolution' of civilization to use the modern world's unscientific obsession. Civilization, as with life, art or any material substance, is designed, built, constructed and managed. It can be torn down, just as easily as it can be created.
 

Adams makes important notes on Christianity's seminal impact on Western Civilization, a metaphysics unlike any which had preceded it in the pagan world: 

"Christianity taught also the equality of all men in the sight of God. It taught this not merely as an abstract idea. Stoicism had done that. But in the early Christianity, at least, it put the idea into practice so far as it was possible to do so. The master was held to treat his slave as a brother. They both stood on the same footing within the church, and its offices and dignities were open to both alike. ...instances are not uncommon of men from the lowest classes rising to positions in the church of the highest rank. The teaching of the church always kept before men the idea of the equality in moral rights and in final destiny of all men. That it was the chiefly effective force in establishing practical equality, so far as it has been established, can hardly be asserted."

 

Equality of men, leads to the equality of rights, freedom of speech and due process, between all men, and over time, women. The universal ethics of Christianity, demanded a universal creed in which all men had to be treated equally, fairly and justly.
 

"Christianity also taught, as a necessary result of the Christian conception of the relation between God and man, that religion has a direct practical mission as an ethical teacher and help. This was a new and most important step in advanceThe ancient national religions had made no ethical demand of the worshipper. The character attributed to the gods could not be helpful to any man. The pagan priest had never looked upon himself as a teacher of morals, or conceived of any reformatory mission for his religion. The Greek or Roman in need of ethical aid and comfort sought the philosopher and not the priest. This whole condition of things Christianity revolutionized. The pure ideal of character which it held aloft in its conception of God, its clear assertion of the necessity and the possibility of such a character for every man which it made in the gospel narrative, created an intimate bond between religion and ethics unknown before. The religious life which Christianity aimed to create in the individual must of necessity express itself in right conduct. This was its true fruit, its external test, and to perfect this the energy of the new religion was especially directed."

 

Even when acting badly, and Christians have a long history of that, as does most any man or woman today; the ideal does not perish. The character of faith should imbue all action. God is not unknowable or untouchable. He is a part of each person and of the world around us.
 

...[the] fatherhood of God, typified and proclaimed in an extremely effective form in the sonship of Christ, man’s elder brother, brought man near to God and gave him a new point of view for all the future. Love became the great religious force of the new age. In the practical working of Christianity this idea did not remain a mere idea. It was transformed into a positive force in history through the keen conception which the individual Christian had of the immediate personal relationship between himself and God, by virtue of which the power of the Almighty would come to his aid in his endeavor to make himself like God. In other words, Christianity not merely taught that this relationship was an ideal possibility, but it made men believe it as a fact, so that they actually lived with a sense of the divine power in them."
 

Animated by equality, opportunity, joy, morality, a strong character, always trying to stay ahead and deny the baser impulses and true demerits we all possess including free will and our poor choices [sin]; Christianity galvanized and demanded action. Help to the poor, the needy; protection of the old, young, infirm and innocent. A conscious desire to do good and to be active in this life, to try to live a good, not a crude life and to participate in society in order to effect good works for the next life if grace grants us that. A commitment to life, family, beauty, reality and proper conduct. We all far short. But those attributes are what created the modern world. Christianity created that culture.

Christian persecution is endemic. 'Liberal' Christianity is inanity.

If you tolerate everything, you disappear.


Outright persecution Today we are living through one of the most serious phases of Christian persecution in history. Throughout the world Christians are meeting exclusion from society, sustained violence, arson attacks, rape and murder because they profess faith in the Prince of Peace. Most people, especially the liberal opinion-formers, prefer to ignore it.

Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world, and most of the persecution occurs in Muslim majority states. Despite continual cries of ‘Islamophobia’, and stiff competition from Hindus in India and Buddhists in Myanmar, the uncomfortable truth is that Islam is the most persecuting religion in the world.

Christianity may have been born in the Middle East but it is being systematically driven from its homeland. The apartheid states covering North Africa and the Middle East continually disadvantage and persecute their Christian populations with nary a murmur from the secular liberal West. Sadly, large numbers in the church are no more concerned about their brothers and sisters than are the unbelievers.

Christians in the West don’t help matters when we describe our problems as ‘persecution’. What we experience is as nothing to what our brothers and sisters elsewhere suffer on a daily basis.

Institutional harassment The high priests of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion deem traditionally-minded Christians to be undeserving of the privileges of equality, diversity, and inclusion.

It is not uncommon for street preachers to be taken to a police station and interrogated before being released to wait for months before a court hearing, then finally cleared. Even although the charges don’t stick, the process is the punishment and serves to inhibit others.

There has even been a case where a woman was prohibited by police from singing Christian songs in the street on the grounds that she was not permitted to ‘sing church songs outside church grounds’. The police later admitted they had ‘made a mistake’, but the incident illustrates a prevalent official mindset which is dismissive of Christianity.

In 2018 Father Mark Morris was fired from his post as Catholic chaplain at Glasgow Caledonian University for holding an off-campus prayer meeting in response to a gay pride march in the city. As Madeleine Kearns wrote, identifying gay pride ‘as a gross offence to God then praying about it with a bunch of grannies is, it turns out, a gross offence against the Church of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion’.

Polite Persecution Polite persecution is the opposition biblical Christians experience increasingly in the West. This well-mannered persecution takes away our freedom as well as our right to voice a considered opinion based upon Scripture or our right to conscientious objection.

Only certain modes of expression are permitted to the Christian when speaking of contentious subjects. That is to say, only those neutered expressions which have been stripped of all force, power and above all clarity.

Take the opposition of biblical Christians to same-sex marriage and sexual relations. It would be acceptable in polite society to make a nuanced philosophical argument, carefully citing exceptions and different opinions amongst authorities, about the proper ends of sex. But one may not discuss the matter in the more robust, direct and difficult-to-misunderstand terms likely to be employed by non-graduate working people.

This means in effect that biblical arguments are permitted to be put forward only by a select class of  non-controversial Christians, those who are well versed in the acceptable modes of speech used by liberal progressive graduates. As well as sharing the same background as the secularists, the acceptable Christians usually share the same political and moral views. They are considered safe.

Scorning or dismissing out of hand Christians when they voice a traditional position on sexual morality in an unapproved fashion is a way of silencing biblical Christians in the public square.

Christian vs Christian One of the most disturbing aspects of polite persecution is the refusal of many Christians to acknowledge its reality. If any Christian in the West says that the Church here faces discrimination, one of his co-religionists is sure to accuse him of overstating the case.

When pro-life Christians join demonstrations or prayer vigils there are always polite Christians ready to object that such action brings the church into disrepute. When working-class Christians question the wisdom of flooding the country with Muslims, many of whom have no intention of integrating, there are always polite respectable liberal Christians willing to denounce them as ‘racist’.

This divide-and-conquer strategy is one of the most effective powers of polite persecution. Rather than being conducted only by Intolerant progressives employing crude means, it is very often enforced by Christians themselves in order to flatter and serve their secular betters. They can always be counted on to rush to denounce other Christians as ‘hateful’, ‘insensitive’ and ‘bigoted’.

Liberal Christians should be careful they don’t allow their own biases and insecurities about their standing with their secular liberal friends to control their fellowship with other Christians. Failing to defend fellow believers from the scorn of unbelievers, even though they may not share all the convictions of those conservative Christians, is a betrayal.

Faith informs Science.

Science without Faith becomes Fiction (see Relativity and Evolution for more information).

 

 

...the presence of the Christian church enhanced, rather than damaged, the development of the natural sciences.”


The quote above is entirely accurate. In 'Galileo goes to Jail and Other Myths...', there is a good and detailed record of why this statement is true. There is no doubt that an objective observer, not one immersed in the apocrypha of the poorly named 'Enlightenment', or the post modern claptrap of cultural Marxist relativity, including the nonsense that Moslems invented everything [including fire, at least twice]; recognizes the veracity of the claim. This is not to say that only Western European traditions formed science; or that only Western European efforts are worthy of the name science. The very definition of science is in dispute, it is not metaphysics and hand-waving [evolution, globaloneywarming]; nor is it operational and technological innovation [manufacturing processes, design improvements, new technologies]. But it is entirely correct to say that modern science was formed only in Catholic Western Europe.


Naturalism or naturalist 'science', was long debated by Christians. As this book relates, going back to the 2nd century AD, Christian philosophers, well versed in Aristotle and Plato, were arguing over pagan theories about nature, the cosmos, and observed phenomena. Every educated person knew that the earth was a sphere, that unlike Aristotle's belief it moved, and that there was a cosmological rotation of planets in certain orbits. No one however, either pagan or Christian, knew why. Christians attempted to find out:


[detailed study of naturalism from] Justin Martyr (d. ca. 165) to Saint Augustine (354-430) and beyond, Christian scholars allied themselves with Greek philosophical traditions deemed congenial to Christian thought.”


The Greek philosophers were not blindly accepted as 'experts' by Christians. Unlike Moslems, the Christians threw a healthy and heavy skepticism into pagan claims and beliefs. Today of course, the very term 'scientist' means one has to fall to the knees and scream in adulation. Not so with real science and philosophy. Justin Martyr was a Jewish convert, murdered by the Romans for his beliefs [how very tolerant]. In particular he was killed by the Romans for daring to assert that reason and faith are bound together, and that Christianity espousing this belief was no threat to the Roman state, and in fact would aid man in understanding nature:


Britannica:

In the first part of the First Apology, Justin defends his fellow Christians against the charges of atheism and hostility to the Roman state. He then goes on to express the core of his Christian philosophy: the highest aspiration of both Christianity and Platonic philosophy is a transcendent and unchangeable God; consequently, an intellectual articulation of the Christian faith would demonstrate its harmony with reason. Such a convergence is rooted in the relationship between human reason and the divine mind, both identified by the same term, logos (Greek: “intellect,” “word”), which enables man to understand basic truths regarding the world, time, creation, freedom, the human soul’s affinity with the divine spirit, and the recognition of good and evil.”


In the name of tolerance the pagans killed the man who wrote the above.


In 'Galileo goes to jail and other Myths', there is a nice passage about Tertullian, another Christian who married reason with faith, in the 2nd century AD:


Tertullian presented, and to a very significant degree he built it out of materials and by the use of methods drawn from the Greco-Roman philosophical tradition. He argued, for example, that the precise regularity of the orbital motions of the celestial bodies (a clear reference to the findings of Greek astronomers) bespeaks a "governing power" that rules over them; and if they are ruled over, they surely cannot be gods. He also introduced the "enlightened view of Plato" in support of the claim that the universe must have had a beginning and therefore cannot itself partake of divinity; and in this and other works he "triumphantly parades" his learning (as one of his biographers puts it) by naming a long list of other ancient authorities.


Tertullian and many other Christian writers [some of whom were called Montanists, largely orthodox and ascetic]; had no issues with pagan philosophy and its relevance. Basil of Caesarea (ca. 330-379), carried on some of Tertullian's ideas, and had similar attitudes toward the classical sciences. He sharply attacked philosophers and astronomers who "have wilfully and voluntarily blinded themselves to knowledge of the truth."


But while attacking the errors of Greek science and philosophy-and what he did not find erroneous, he generally judged useless-Basil also revealed a solid mastery of their contents. He argued against Aristotle's fifth element, the quintessence; he recounted the Stoic theory of cyclic cosmological conflagration and regeneration; he applauded those who employ the laws of geometry to refute the possibility of multiple worlds (a clear endorsement of Aristotle's argument for the uniqueness of the cosmos); he derided the Pythagorean notion of music of the planetary spheres; and he proclaimed the vanity of mathematical astronomy...”


Who can possibly argue with the above ? It is common sense and correct. Today sci-fi parading as science vomits out theology about pregnant black holes, dark matter and multi-verses. Maybe these non-scientists can revisit Basil, laws of geometry and even Aristotle.


What the early Christians knew, and what we have forgotten in our age of the cult of science; is that science itself is a metaphysical enterprise. Whatever your world view is, will shape your so-called science. Augustine in the late 4th century knew this. His very influential view, was that the knowledge about our world is not a legitimate end in itself, but a means to other ends. In other words, your philosophy imbues your reason. In this vein the classical sciences must accept a subordinate position as the handmaiden of theology and religion. This philosophy is still used today but in the reverse. The metaphysics of 'science', now controls other 'faiths'.


Augustine's handmaiden science was defended explicitly and at great length, for example, by Roger Bacon in the thirteenth century, whose defense of useful knowledge contributed to his notoriety as one of the founders of experimental science.


Augustine and others like him applied Greco-Roman natural science with a vengeance to biblical interpretation. The sciences are not to be loved, but to be used. This attitude toward scientific knowledge was to flourish throughout the Middle Ages and well into the modern period. Were it not for this outlook, medieval Europeans would surely have had less scientific knowledge, not more.”


This is very true. Without the handmaiden concept, “medieval Europeans would surely have had less scientific knowledge, not more.” When your world is random chaos, when you believe you are evolved algae, when you scream that there is no meaning, no reason to live, and that all is without purpose, your world view and your society do not develop reason, nor science, but a cult of social chaos, relativity, lamentation and death. There is no reason to the current post-modern dogma and cult of 'science', which is anything but scientific.


The Church and morality.

No other civilisation in world history was as dedicated to doing what is right and just.


Morality and Christian Asceticism | Focolare Media

‘Science’ whatever that might mean, cannot explain innate morality or good deeds.  Our entire legal system and cultural determination of morality, what is right, what is wrong, what can and cannot be done was entirely shaped and formed by the Church.  The bedrock of our civilisation and morality is the Christian claim that all life is sacred, and every person uniquely created in the image of God.  Further, every person has a mind and soul, and the soul lives on after death.  Therefore, what you do in this life does matter.

 

Catholics waged a social war against suicide, poverty, slavery, infanticide, polygamy, bigamy, sexual perversion, gladiatorial contests, and the pagan abandonment of the weak and sick.  All ancient civilisations neglected the dispossessed and marginalised.  Children were sacrificed to Baal and various other ‘gods’.  Women were reduced in the main to sex slaves or baby production units (see Islam).  The widower was often stoned to death for being a burden to the village.  The leper and sick ignored or isolated until they died.  Such was ‘classical civilisation’ so lauded by atheists and Christophobes.

 

Seneca, the 1rst century BC philosopher killed by Nero commented, “We drown children who at birth are weakly and abnormal.”  How civilised.  Today of course we murder millions of babies every year under the banner of ‘abortion’, far more than the pagan Romans, Greeks, Celts, Britons, Saxons, and other paganisms destroyed.  Yet we call ourselves ‘modern’, living in the age of ‘science’.  We are barbarians who have forgotten the Church’s ethos and morality.

 

In the City of God, Saint Augustine rightly dismisses the rationale to allow and even encourage suicide:  “..greatness of spirit is not the right term to apply to one who has killed himself because he has lacked the strength to endure hardships…the stupid opinion of the mob; we rightly ascribe greatness to spirit that has the strength to endure a life of misery…”  Today we murder old people calling it ‘mercy killing’ or ‘euthanasia’.  We are now murdering people who are poor, depressed or suffering from various mental afflictions.  We are no better than the pre-civilised pagan societies who dispensed with the weak and wounded en-masse. 

 

Christ told his followers that they would be persecuted.  He asked them if they would have the strength of character and mind to suffer through such persecution.  He did not tell them to run or hide.  He adjured them to stand and to eventually be murdered for their faith.  Through this suffering they would come closer to God.  Indeed, a common theme in Catholic history is that suffering and pain are essential to understand divine truth.

 

Even on war, the Church advocated a ‘just war’ only policy, first enunciated in detail by Saint Augustine.  There must be a defensive and moral aspect to war.  War can only be justified as a response to an aggressor who imposes suffering and injustice.  Revenge, expansion, the lust for slaves or gold, and material exploitation are all condemned by the Church as immoral acts which can never justify war.  Saint Thomas Acquinas wrote: “In order for a war to be just…a just cause is required, namely those who attacked, should be attacked because they deserve it on account of some fault…the belligerents should have a rightful intention, so that they intend the advancement of good, or the avoidance of evil…”

 

Spanish scholastics in the 16th century expounded on Acquinas’ viewpoint, establishing nascent international law and demanding that the enslavement, destruction and land appropriation of the Ameri-Indians by nominally Christian men, be declared illegal and stopped. 

 

Only in Church doctrine do we find strictures against sexuality immorality.   In the early Church women were predominate because of the Church’s belief that adultery, so widespread in the ancient world, was a sin which had to be applied equally for men as well as women.  The abuse of women in the ancient world is hard to underestimate and comprehend.  It was the Church who supported the equal rights of women, and it was the Church who declared that marriage was a contract that could not be broken, and that infidelity within a marriage was not to be tolerated.  This benefitted women.  Our own ‘modern’ views of women and their ‘rights’ are based on Church doctrine.  Where in world history outside of Christendom do we find women running abbey’s, farms, hospitals, convents, colleges, and orphanages?

Tariq Ramadan, just another Moslem supremacist and rapist

Sex slavery is condoned, admired and applauded in Mein Koran. So too is rape.


Ramadan is just following Mein Koran.  Sex slaves and women who  are 'possessed' by his 'right hand'.  Page after page of Mein Koran extols the rape and sex slavery of women, especially infidel women.  To the half wits who populate modern academia and the fake news, sex slavery means liberation, and if you are wife #3 you are empowered and free.  Ramadan is just another Muslim rapist imitating the insane totalitarian Muhammad, who raped a 9 year old. 

Tariq Ramadan, “Europe’s leading Islamic scholar” and “towering intellect” and one of the “100 top global thinkers” who was once a professor of contemporary Islamic studies at St. Antony’s College, Oxford University? As Jihad Watch noted briefly here, he has just been convicted by a Swiss Appeals Court of the rape and sexual coercion of a woman known as “Brigitte” in Geneva.

Brigitte was not one of the four students he taught years ago at a lycée in Geneva. who have accused him of seducing them when they were his trusting pupils, aged between 14 and 18. No, she’s “in addition” to those former students, a victim of Ramadan’s predatory ways. It’s not known if those four Swiss girls-now-women will be bringing charges against him, but this first conviction in Switzerland should encourage them to move forward in pressing their own claims.

More details about his first conviction for rape, just announced by the Appeals Court in Geneva, can be found here: “Tariq Ramadan, disgraced former star of European Islam,” AFP, September 10, 2024:

Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, convicted on appeal of rape and sexual coercion by a Geneva court, is a Swiss intellectual accused of masking violence and radicalism behind a mild facade.

Ramadan, 62, is the grandson of the founder of the Islamist movement the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and wrote his doctoral thesis on his ancestor.

Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan al-Banna, a Muslim fanatic who was the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. Asked repeatedly to condemn his grandfather, Ramadan always tears up and mournfully replies that “he was my grandfather” — presumably we are meant to understand that filial piety precludes him from distancing himself from the man who founded the Muslim Brotherhood, that group of fanatics and killers.

Ramadan’s accusers all earlier testified to his modus operandi: “Tariq Ramadan Accused of ‘Seducing His Teenage Students,’” by Noor Nanji, The National, November 4, 2017:

…One, known as Sandra, was 15 when Mr Ramadan made advances towards her. She said he told her: “I feel close to you. You are mature. You are special. I am surrounded by many people but I feel lonely.” She started spending time with him outside of school, and “two or three times we had intimate relationships. At the back of his car”. She added: “He said it was our secret.”

Another, Lea, said she was 14 years old when the teacher approached her during a trip. “He put my hand on my mouth telling me he knew I was thinking about him in the evening before falling asleep. Which was wrong. It was manipulation. He said he thought of me but he was married.”

In her case, she says nothing physical happened. She described him as a “crooked, intimidating man who used perverse relational ploys and abused the trust of his students. There was such an impression on us.”

A third woman, known as Agathe, was 18 and described being “captivated by the speech of this charismatic teacher”. She said Mr Ramadan invited her for a coffee outside of school, “and then I had sex with him. He was married and a father. This happened three times, especially in his car. It was consented but very violent. I had bruises all over my body.”

Agathe says the scholar threatened her and demanded she tell no one about the encounters. “It was an abuse of power, pure and simple.”

The fourth woman, Claire, was 17 when the pair started a relationship and 18 when they first had intercourse. “I was fascinated, under his control. He took me, threw me, established a relationship of dependence.”

None of these incidents was made public before now, with one of the women expressing feelings of “disgust” and “shame” which made her stay quiet.

How many more non-Muslim women in Geneva remain too “disgusted” and “ashamed” for what they allowed themselves to endure as schoolgirls from their respected “‘prof” Tariq Ramadan to come forward even now?

How many more Muslim women in Paris, who were once admirers of the famous “scholar” Tariq Ramadan, were invited after his lectures to discuss further the subject of “Islamic ethics” in his hotel room, only to be choked, beaten, raped, and then threatened if they were ever to report him?

Four to Five Thousand Black Nigerian Christians are slaughtered each year by Black Muslims.

Black Lives don't matter if you are Christian.


More than 16,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria in four years between 2019 and 2023 as more followers of Christ were victims of violence than adherents of other religions, according to data collected by the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa. 

ORFA released a four-year data project Thursday documenting 55,910 fatalities from 9,970 attacks, including both civilians and combatants, across Nigeria. Of those killed, 30,880 were civilians. Christian victims totaled 16,769, significantly outnumbering the 6,235 Muslim fatalities — the ratio of Christian to Muslim deaths being 6.5:1. Radicalized Muslim Fulani herdsmen were responsible for 55% of the Christian deaths. 

"For over a decade atrocities against civilians in Nigeria have been downplayed or minimized. This has proved a major obstacle for those seeking to understand the violence," the researchers wrote in the 136-page report shared with The Christian Post.

"Misleading euphemisms, such as 'armed herdsmen' and 'cattle grazers' are used to describe continual waves of invasion, torture and killing in rural communities. Descriptions of attacks as 'ethnic clashes,' 'farmers-herders clashes' or retaliatory attacks are seriously misleading."

Another frequent term used to describe militias that carry out mass kidnappings and enforce "serfdom" on communities is "bandits," the report warns, adding that "a policy of concealing the religious identity of victims" is distorting the reality of the situation. 

"Fulani Ethnic Militia are targeting Christian populations, while Muslims also suffer severely at their hands," notes Rev. Gideon Para-Mallam, an observatory partner and analyst, said in a statement. 

"Millions of people are left undefended," Frans Vierhout, senior analyst at the Observatory of Religious Freedom in Africa, added. "For years, we've heard of calls for help being ignored, as terrorists attack vulnerable communities. Now the data tells its own story."

Across Nigeria, over 21,621 people were abducted in 2,705 attacks, with some incidents overlapping. The observatory recorded 11,610 distinct attacks where individuals were killed or abducted. Of these, 8,905 involved only killings, 1,065 included both killings and abductions and 1,640 involved only abductions.

Of the 21,532 civilians abducted, 11,185 were Christians, and 7,899 were Muslims, according to ORFA.

Researchers stated the religious identity of victims significantly influenced their treatment by captors, with Christian captives often facing harsher conditions and higher risks of execution compared to their Muslim counterparts.

On average, eight attacks involving killings or abductions occurred daily over a four-year period in Nigeria. Fear of violence has gotten so bad there were reports of children sleeping in trees to avoid nighttime attacks.

The data showed a large geographic spread of violence, with 65 different Local Government Areas affected. The majority of civilian fatalities occurred during attacks on communities, particularly during the farming season's peak months between April and June. The North West, North Central and North East regions were identified as epicenters of such attacks.

People were most vulnerable in their homes, with the majority of civilians — 25,312 killed and 16,761 abducted — suffering attacks in their communities, according to the report. This contrasts with other locations where 5,568 civilians were killed and 4,771 abducted.

The report pointed to the Fulani Ethnic Militia and other less-known groups as primary aggressors.

Armed Fulani herdsmen, part of FEM, and various terrorist groups were responsible for most killings and abductions, overshadowing the more internationally recognized threats from Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province. For instance, armed Fulani herdsmen were responsible for the deaths of 11,948 civilians, while other terror groups were responsible for 12,039 deaths. Armed Fulani were responsible for over 6,000 civilian abductions, while other groups were responsible for 13,000. 

Armed Fulani were responsible for 9,153 Christian deaths during that timespan; Other terrorist groups accounted for 29% or 4,895 deaths. Combined, Boko Haram and ISWAP were responsible for 8% of the Christian deaths, which amounts to 1,268 fatalities.

'Natural law rights' is derived from Medieval canon law

The 17th century did not invent the idea of 'rights'.

Natural Law - RELIGION, PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS AT HABERDASHERS' ABRAHAM ...

 

 

Natural law rights, and Individual rights is a byproduct not only of Church doctrine, but also Scholastic philosophy.  The ‘Enlightenment’ ideals about the ‘rights of men’ were pilfered from Church doctrine dating back to the 12th century.  There were not new or innovative. 

 

When 17th century philosophes asserted the basic rights of men, they reused what had already existed for centuries.  In the 12th century the celebrated ‘Decretum’ of Gratian was a composition of Church law which included the tradition of natural law rights, and man’s inalienable rights to freedom from arbitrary rule, slavery and poverty.  The Magna Carta of 1215 is a document based on these ideals which elevated the rights of Barons and landowners and guaranteed habeas corpus, freedom from arbitrary arrest and imprisonment and the legal right to the protection of private property and personal sanctity. 

 

The 10th century witnessed the investiture controversies, or the rights of the Church and the state to ‘invest’ or appoint ecclesiastical positions.  This was the old debate between the boundaries of Church and state.  This was during a recrudescence of urban activity, accelerated by a warming climate, the Reconquista in Spain, and extended terms of trade and credit.  Urban centres also wanted some independence from arbitrary state or ecclesiastical rule. 

 

These rights were centred on particular interests and groups.  But they were soon extended to members and individuals.  Church canonists realised that ‘rights’ must extend to what is ‘naturally’ given by God to individuals.  Such ‘rights’ were independent of state power and statute.  We see such ideas by 1300 in European legislation and codes.  Property, self-defense, non-Christian marriage, and legal procedure were all deemed rooted in natural law, not state law.

 

Pope Innocent IV and others defended these natural law rights for infidels as well as heretical Christians.  In the 16th century Las Casas, the Vatican and Spanish Kings would apply the concepts of natural law rights to Ameri-Indians, stating categorically that Ameri-Indians had full ownership of their land and bodies.  Though these various decrees and bulls were ignored, these legal expositions declared that Europeans must buy the land from Ameri-Indians and desist from enslaving the native populations.

 

Medieval Canon law is thus the ancestor of ‘Enlightenment’ ideals and of the Western concept of God given natural law rights, individual rights, private property, proper jurisprudence and the separation of Church and state. The 17th century philosophes pilloried these concepts at will but refrained from acknowledging or attributing the source.  Such theft is standard practice in modernity. 

 

Who is this Al Lah?

The moon idol of Mecca

islam-allah-moon-god-kristiann1 « We Are Human

 

 

Allah has nothing to do with the Christian idea of God embedded in the Holy Trinity.  Main Koran is quite clear that the Christian Trinity is a polytheism and belief in polytheism and blasphemies is punished by death.  Sura 5:33 states that those who make mischief by not obeying the cult of Muhammad, must be killed, executed, humiliated and crucified.  This is a direct threat to Christians.

 

Al Lah or The Lord is a celestial God, called Baal.  Depending on your source and viewpoint, the Near Eastern Baal Gods for millennia represented the weather, thunder and lightning, or the moon.  Some maintain the Arabian Baal or Al Lah might be the Sun with the moon as its consort.  In historical fact the opposite true, and it is pretty clear from archaeology and historiography that the Meccan Al Lah was the moon god, and its consorts was the Sun. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When a totalitarian UK elite and ‘legal’ system imprisoned an English man for asking in a demonstration ‘Who the F is Al Lah?’, we are witnessing a complete societal implosion and disavowal of the pagan, atavistic and savage nature of the Muslim threat.  The UK courts and elites, corrupted and ignorant as they are, have no idea what the Al Lah is.  Those who are educated and use critical thinking skills, know that the Arabian Al Lah was the ‘Lord’ or main god in the Arab pantheon of celestial worship.  It is quite right to ask, ‘Who the F is this pagan idol?’ worshipped by millions of Muslims in the UK. 

 

Allah is the moon idol of Mecca.

In the last 200 hundred years prominent archaeologists have discovered throughout the Arabian peninsula thousands of inscriptions which prove beyond any doubt that the dominant religion of Arabia during Mohammed's day was the cult of the moon-god. Hub'Al[lah] was the chief god of Mecca, responsible for instance in repelling the Ethiopian invasion of 571 AD [the year of Muhammad's birth perhaps, though the dates for that do range from 570 to 580 AD].

 

For many generations before Mohammed was born – his full name was Muhammad ibn Abdullah or Muhammad the son of the slave of the 'one' or Hubal -- the Arabs worshipped some 360 pagan gods housed at the stone temple in Mecca called the Kabah. According to archaeologists, the chief deity of Mecca was the moon-god called Hubal or 'the one' [Al-Lah, El-Lah, i-Lah]. Independent historians have long confirmed that the pre-Islamic Arabs worshipped the moon-god by bowing in prayer toward Mecca several times a day. They would also make a pilgrimage to Mecca, run around the crude stone Kabah seven times and throw stones at the devil and the 'sunset' demon. They also fasted and were at 'peace' for one month, giving each other a respite from the interminable raiding, cattle thieving and caravan destruction which were the full-time jobs of most Arabs. This period of Ramadan or quiet, would begin with the appearance of the crescent moon and would end when the crescent moon reappeared some 4 weeks later on. This Arab cult of ritualization existed centuries before the 'great man' Muhammad was born.

 

We know who Al Lah was.  We want to know why is ‘Western Civ’ so intent on becoming slaves of Al Lah (abd-ullah)  and his cult?

Across the UK there have been multiple protests and violent clashes between normal UK born citizens, many of them White, and the authorities and the useless gestapo named the UK police force.  Muslims, Blacks and non-Whites have been the targets.  The fake news media, the usual cadre of cowardly boot licking multi-culturalist politicians, the un-civil service, have all viciously attacked and arrested many of the ‘White thugs’.  They display of course a completely different set of standards for Muslims in Leeds, Birmingham, London and elsewhere, who can burn, loot, murder and destroy almost at will.  No opprobrium or vitriol from the elite.  No condemnation from the fake news and fake ‘experts'.

 

The UK has a real population of probably 75 million, not the false 67 million declared in the 2021 census.  Of the 75 million, probably 1/3 are non-White mostly Black, Muslim and Indian immigrants, asylum seekers, illegals.  In the past 10 years roughly 1 million ‘immigrants’ have landed in the UK both legally and illegally, or roughly 10 million in a decade.  London is majority non-White, as is Birmingham and many famous cities notable for their prominence during the Victorian era and industrialisation including Leicester, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield and Nottingham.  Many of us who travel within the UK have noted this. 

UK: Weekend Riots Threat Looms, Thousands Arrested, Sentenced ...

 

In short, the UK has been turned upside by immigration.  The entire national fabric including its Christian heritage, past and legacy are being systemically annihilated.  All by plan.  The EU or German Empire project was always a political endeavour to eradicate the nation state and have a regional and eventually a global hegemony.  When Brexit occurred, the elite did everything possible to reverse that outcome and part of the globalist response was to open wide the borders. Brexit was largely a vote to seal the borders and reclaim national sovereignty.  When this did not happen, the elite simply seeded a massive national grievance into the majority White population.  As Enoch Powell stated 60 years ago, the Rivers of Blood, are flowing and have been for 20 years.

 

Within the UK we have:

·       Probably 10 million Muslims, doubling every decade.  By 2040 the northern English cities and London will be majority Muslim.

·       By 2040, the Muslim population in the UK will be 40-45% of the total UK population.

·       From 1 or 2 mosques in 1970, we now have over 2.000.

·       Muslims and their allies dominate local, regional and national governments, institutions and organisations.

·       Half a dozen major cities have Muslim mayors including the execrably racist Jihadist Khan in London.

·       1 million white working-class girls have been raped since 1980 in the UK by Muslims.

·       70% of Muslims do not officially work in London.

·       Jews are on the record that they don’t feel safe in London or other cities dominated by Muslims.

·       Crime is at record levels across the UK, due to immigration.

·       Cost of living and house prices are at ridiculous levels in part due to open borders.

 

When a Black teenager carves up 3 White girls at a Taylor Swift party, it creates a trigger.  It matters not that he was born in the UK.  The valid reaction is that he and his family should never have been in the UK in the first place, with his parents arriving as ‘refugees’.  The gratitude shown to the UK from a Black born here, from 'refugee parents', is to murder young White girls.  This is an act of racism.  Why didn’t he kill 3 Black girls? 

 

This atrocity is just the latest in a long list of crimes committed by ‘immigrants’ or their offspring against the natives.  The open borders invasion is simply that – an invasion, part of the Great Replacement of White English.  In the upside-down clown world that is the UK and its anti-reality ‘culture’ the victims are to be blamed and anyone protesting the absolute evisceration of England, including its history, culture, heritage and Christian roots, is of course, a Nazi, Fascist, Racist and Phobe.  This is why there will be a civil war in the UK and rivers of blood.

 

Myths about the Ideology called Islam

Persistent fantasies about a political project named a 'religion', which will never be reformed.


Critics of Islam usually demand a Western style reformation to drag the Arab creation out of the 7th century pre modern pagan mind-set, into the modern world. There is little chance of that happening. Islam is an ideology – a political project first and foremost. A reformation is impossible when you are dealing with ideas which are closed to discussion; repetitive; ritualised; and inherently imperialist. The myth of an Islamic reformation is one of many which abound about this so-called 'religion'. [Perhaps Hitlerism is also a religion]. 

 

Some general myths held about Islam by the media and the general public within the Western world: 



1. Islam is open to a reformation

No it isn't. Islam is a total project. 'Total' meaning that the social, civil, spiritual, and intellectual life are governed by pre-set rules and rituals. Total mandates that all things in a Muslim's life belong to Islam. Individual Muslims will opt out of many or even most of Islam's demands. But the ideology does not opt out of its totality. Any system of thought which is total in nature is by political extension totalitarian. And as anyone who has read the history of such concepts, these systems of living are not open to change. 

 

It should be noted that the Western 'Reformation' was no such thing.  The nationalist movements usurped Church authority and established national churches.  The 'Reformation' was based on only scripture, or 'sola scriptura'.  The entire edifice of Christian history, including miracles, traditions and even art and architecture was attacked, debased, and in many locales destroyed.  Books were also committed to the fire. What the Protesting movement did was to remove eccelsiastical power from Rome and situate it in the local.  Hence, the massive transfers of wealth in England under Henry VIII, from the Church to the State, which was replicated across Europe and an important factor in the upper middle class revolt against the 'system' called the French Revolution.  



2. Islam's violence can be reformed

No it can't be. Islam is based on 2 ideas: 1. the word of the Quran and 2. Mohammed as the last prophet of 'God'. Both ideas are supremacist meaning that the Quran is the superior book and path of living because it comes from Islam's perfect man – Mohammed. Neither idea is going to be jettisoned. This supremacism justifies violence and aggression. 

 

3. Muhammed was just like Jesus

Christianity has little in common with Islam, if one looks at what Christ actually taught and what the apostles attempted to teach to others or 'Gentiles'. Christ is a good example of how men might wish to live and what moral values they might wish to hold. Mohammed was the opposite of Christ of course.  Christ enacted the second covenant around love and forgiveness.  Christ deployed an endless array of miracles and healing.  The Resurrection is the greatest miracle in history and has only been replicated by Catholic saints such as Saint Francis of Assissi or Saint Vincent de Ferrer. 

Mohammed was a political – military leader who lead 80 odd military campaigns; slaughtered caravans; stole gold and property; adjudicated violence; broke agreements; killed with his own hands; was an anti-semite; had sex with a 9 year old girl; was a voracious womanizer; an owner of sex-slaves; an accomplished liar; and a role model only for a violent, pagan, war like and immoral society. Much of Islam wants to emulate Mohammed – or so Islamic writings and teachings profess. It does not take a great deal of imagination to fear the type of society which would be created through the production of little Mohammeds. 

 

4. Islam is only fighting back against Western oppression

The great imperialist project is of course Islam. The Arab 'wave' took over the Near East, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of India, North Africa, and Spain. The Turkish wave invaded the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Russia, central Asia, and even parts of China. The Crusades were simply a very feeble, and rather dilatory response to 400 years of Muslim aggression against Europe. 

 

As stated by Gregory M. Davis author of Religion of Peace? Islam's War Against the World:


“Following the defeat of the Ottoman army outside Vienna on September 11, 1683 by Polish forces, Islam went into a period of strategic decline in which it was overwhelmingly dominated by the European powers. Much of dar al-Islam was colonized by the European powers who employed their superior technology and exploited the rivalries within the Muslim world to establish colonial rule. 



While many of the practices of the Western imperial powers in the governance of their colonies were clearly unjust, it is utterly unwarranted to regard Western imperialism -- as it often is -- as an endemic criminal enterprise that is the basis of modern resentment against the West. It was only due to the assertive role of the Western powers that modern nation-states such as India, Pakistan, Israel, South Africa, Zimbabwe, etc. came to exist in the first place. Without Western organization, these areas would have likely remained chaotic and tribal as they had existed for centuries. 



When one looks at the post-colonial world, it is apparent that the most successful post-colonial nations have a common attribute: they are not Muslim. The United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, India, and the South American nations clearly outshine their Muslim-majority post-colonial counterparts -- Iraq, Algeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, etc. -- by just about any standard.” 



Davis is of course right. Islam has been a failure - a complete one - on any standard one cares to use to measure life, freedom, free speech, and individual worth - not to mention material comforts. But for many in the revisionist, self-loathing, multi-cult loving West, reality is too hard to face. 



5. Islam 'invented' civilisation!

This is my personal favorite. The Arabs and Muslims have invented everything – according to Western Islamo-apologists – from ice cream, to flying, to math, to science, to medicine, to architecture and pretty flowers. Wow. Who would have guessed that the Muslim world which is mired in poverty, violence, hate, anti-Semiticism, anti-Americanism, corruption, failed economies, and totalitarian systems of civil organisation, is the heir to this resplendent and wonderful cultural civilisation ?! Islam's complete modern failure, makes it obvious that it was Islam and cultured, advanced, peaceful, and smiling Muslims who had created the modern world ! 



As Gregory Davis so rightly wrote in his great book referenced above, “The achievements of Islamic civilization are pretty modest given its 1300 year history when compared to Western, Hindu, or Confucian civilizations. Many Islamic achievements were in fact the result of non-Muslims living within the Islamic Empire or of recent converts to Islam. One of the greatest Islamic thinkers, Averroes, ran afoul of Islamic orthodoxy through his study of non-Islamic (Greek) philosophy and his preference for Western modes of thought. Once the dhimmi populations of the Empire dwindled toward the middle of the second millennium AD, Islam began its social and cultural "decline." 



Muslims invented very little. They squatted for centuries on richer, more advanced and intelligent societies, starting with the Byzantine lands, Persia, northern India and then across what was once Romanised North Africa and Spain. 

 

6. Most Muslims are peaceful !

My second favorite. How do you know ? Do you know what goes on in the minds of Muslims ? Ever been to a mosque ? Ever been exposed to Arab culture and its shrill demands to kill Jews ? How do you explain recent surveys of university educated Muslims – 40% of whom want Sharia Law in England for instance. Is that peaceful ? How do you explain the 18.000 Muslim attacks across the world since 2001 and the 1400 years of war, jihad and Islam's bloody borders ?



It is the ideology which counts and who controls that ideology. Someone's wish or demand that all Muslims are peaceful and happy, is simply not supported and is refuted by 1400 years of history and recent Islamo-fascism which is a global phenomenon, predicated on the idea - first espoused by Mohammed - that Islam will dominate the world. There is no proof that all Muslims are moderates and that all Muslims want co-existence. 

 

These are some of the core myths which pervade Western society and education. They are utterly wrong. Islam is a direct threat to civilisation and even to Muslim's themselves. There is no chance of an internal reformation. It has been stated many times and needs repeating – Islam will only be reformed from without through exogenous change, initiated by military intervention. That is the reality, sad as it might appear to the legions of multi-cultural devotees and their cultural Marxist friends.
