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.
The history of Islam has been the bloodiest example of imperial warfare in history. As Brigitte Gabriel says in her book, “They must be stopped”, some 270 millions or more, have been killed in the name of the moon cult of Mecca. Christianity's medieval militant phase can only boast of a number which is less than 3% of that total. Yet we are told that all whites are racist, and Christianity is 'fascist'. Why then does not the same analysis apply to a Meccan moon cult ? The inherent pagan fascism of Islam, of Arab culture, and of a 5.000 year old moon worshiping movement is so obvious, so clear, so transparent, that only really smart people educated at Harvard and 'nuanced' in their cultural Marxist relativism can miss it. Sadly these dunces occupy the media, universities, and sundry political chairs.
If you call something what it is – a dog is a dog, a cat is a cat, a slobbering Marxist Obama supporter is a lunatic – you are derided as unfair, racist, and intolerant. Never mind that when discussing Islam, one is confronted by the most intolerant, totalitarian, and jihadic ideology in history. To criticize a 1400 year old political program and call it what it most assuredly is – a pagan fascism – is to invite howls of outraged Muslim and Marxist clatter as the Islamo-fascists, and their Western supporters, scream that like Nazis and Communists, Muslims love their children too and all non-White Muslims are peaceful expressions of advanced cultural intelligence. Only whites, Jews and Christians are evil according to the anti-reality cabal which infects the UN, globalist institutions and the political-media complex.
Islamo-fascism is the right term to describe what Islam offers the world. The trilogy of Islamic 'law' – the Koran, the Sira or biography of mad Mohammed, and the Hadiths or sayings of the Arab 'prophet' – make this clear. There is no golden rule, no talk of acceptance, tolerance or putting up with the other. There is no ethical or moral program. Nothing unique or new is proffered. Less than 2% of the Koran has anything nice to say about non-Muslims and those sentences are qualified by the idea that non-Muslims are going to hell anyways, so when in a position of minority power, Muslims can tolerate and appear to accept the kafir. Islam is the anti-thesis of Christianity and Zen Buddhism.
Malise Ruthven concocted the term “Islamo-fascism” in 1990, describing the institutional racism, supremacism and totalitarianism used by Arabs to control their empire. Caliph 'Umar the 3rd leader of Islam who conquered the Levant, Egypt and Persia is the exemplar of Muslim supremacy. He created the hierarchy of Muslim control [Arab Muslims at the top, Blacks, slave girls, Christians and Jews at the bottom] and formed the social compact of dhimmitude or humiliation through massive taxation and social ostracism of non-Muslims. A theology of peace and liberation Islam was, and is, not.
Former Marxist Christopher Hitchens has written some articles outlining the numerous parallels between radical orthodox Islam and the fascism that was introduced to the world by the likes of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Here is one sensible example of someone who sees Islam for what it is:
Both movements are based on a cult of murderous violence that exalts death and destruction and despises the life of the mind. … Both are hostile to modernity (except when it comes to the pursuit of weapons), and both are bitterly nostalgic for past empires and lost glories. Both are obsessed with real and imagined "humiliations" and thirsty for revenge. Both are chronically infected with the toxin of anti-Jewish paranoia … Both are inclined to leader worship and to the exclusive stress on the power of one great book. Both have a strong commitment to sexual repression—especially to the repression of any sexual "deviance"—and to its counterparts, the subordination of the female and contempt for the feminine. Both despise art and literature as symptoms of degeneracy and decadence; both burn books and destroy museums and treasures.
German or Nazi fascism is very similar to Islam. Like the modern Islamo-fascists, the Nazis were adept at using technology, mass communications, and myth making to great effect to both attract and nurture their cult. Both movements were and are universalist. A basic tenet of German fascism was the notion of a master race and its superiority to all others. The Islamo-fascist variant of this is what Hitchens terms the concept of “the ‘pure’ and the ‘exclusive’ over the unclean and the kufar [kafir], or profane.”
Victor Davis Hanson a classical historian concurs with Hitchens’ observations writing:
"Islamic fascism" [is] the perfect nomenclature for the agenda of radical Islam, for a variety of historical and scholarly reasons. . . . First, the general idea of "fascism"—the creation of a centralized authoritarian state to enforce blanket obedience to a reactionary, all-encompassing ideology—fits well the aims of contemporary Islamism that openly demands implementation of sharia law and the return to a Pan-Islamic and theocratic caliphate. In addition, Islamists, as is true of all fascists, privilege their own particular creed of true believers by harkening back to a lost, pristine past, in which the devout were once uncorrupted by modernism. . . . Because fascism is born out of insecurity and the sense of failure, hatred for Jews is de rigueur. To read al Qaeda’s texts is to reenter the world of Mein Kampf (naturally now known as jihadi in the Arab world). . . . Envy and false grievance, as in the past with Italian, German, or Japanese whining, are always imprinted deeply within the fascist mind. . . . Second, fascism thrives best in a once proud, recently humbled, but now ascendant, people. They are ripe to be deluded into thinking contemporary setbacks were caused by others and are soon to be erased through ever more zealotry.
The Nazis and Muslims have much in common. They were of course fast allies during World War II. Whilst 250.000 Jews fought and died for mother Russia against Germany; and while over 30.000 Jewish volunteers fought as the 'Israeli Brigade' for Churchill in the Middle East and beyond, somehow in the modern popular culture, we are told to view Arabs with sympathy and tenderness and Jews as villains. Yet it was the Jew not the Arab or Muslim who aided the Western – Soviet victory in World War II. Muslims and Arabs were openly allied with Hitler, and Muslim regiments fought with the Nazis in the Balkans. Before the British victory at El Alamein in 1942 – one of the key battles of history – Egyptian Arabs were happily proclaiming an end to British rule and the creation of a Nazi-Arab state with the associated racism, genocide and oppression that would entail.
As Jewish historian David Meir-Levi so correctly relates: “The Muslim groups which today threaten the West with terrorism, subversion and insurgency, and which, in their own words, seek to bring about a global totalitarian empire are not only fascist in the broad sociological sense, but can trace their literal historical origins to Nazism and its genocidal ambitions.”
Even Bernard Lewis, the somewhat apologetic interpreter of Islam, concurs that Nazism and its various strains of fascist governance, intolerance, and theology, has spread like a disease throughout Islam and greater Arabia giving added impulse – along with oil money – to the modern jihadic movement.
Islam has nothing in common with the Judeo-Christian legacy of the West or the modern world. It is an oriental disease with the same corrosive intolerance and evil as German or Russian fascism. Some 20 million whites from Europe were enslaved by Muslims. A further 10-15 million Blacks were transshipped as chattel into Muslim heartlands. 270 million are dead thanks to Arab and Islamic imperialism. Yet we are told by the really smart people that Islam is peace. So too then was Nazism.
