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.
One of the best books on the endless Jihad and the Musulman imperative, based on the Koran, to wipe out Christianity.
If you want to understand the external danger posed by the cult of Muhammad to what is left of ‘Western Civilisation’ read the Sword and Scimitar. Ibrahim is Egyptian, not a Musulman, not a Christian (not a practicing Catholic certainly) but is assuredly an expert on the history of Muhammad’s cult, having written for years on the topic. His works are always superbly researched and extensively reviewed and audited by others in the same field. His website is https://www.raymondibrahim.com/ and is full of historical gems and commentary and is a necessary bookmark.
The book covers the Musulman eruption into Christian Byzantine Syria in 636 and covers the torrid history of Jihad, plunder, white enslavement, rape and destruction until 1683. It is a tour de force and education.
The Musulman Jihad against Western Christendom, the rump as Ibrahim rightly states of a far larger Christian culture which stretched from the sands of Arabia, across the Near East, North Africa and to the North Sea, is a story rarely told. ‘Western Civilisation’ largely defamed and neutered by 19th century quackery and ‘Enlightenment’ religiosity, is debauched and criticised as ‘dark’, ‘superstitious’, ‘unscientific’, and ‘primitive’.
A proper reading of our history reveals the opposite, and the world in which such calumnies are issued, a world for Westerners of technology, transport and plenty, is a world which would not exist but for the Byzantine and Catholic Churches and their complex, cultural, visceral, masculine, desperate and courageous defence of Greek-Roman and Christian civilisation. It is quite as simple as that, and Ibrahim provides maybe the best one volume outline of just how vicious the Musulman assault was on Christianity and how deep-seated is its hatred of the ‘Trinity-worshippers’. There is plenty of compulsion in Muhammad’s cult and ample rivers of hate and bile toward Christianity. This is why most sentient people feel that the Mahometan demographics in Europe will presage its collapse as the celestial-Muhammad cult’s population doubles between 2030 and 2050 to comprise some 40% of the population in northern England, the urban areas of Holland, France, Italy and Spain. What the Jihad couldn’t do by war, it will do with demography.
Ibrahim’s book analyses eight key battles, four of which were won by the Musulmans at Yarmuk in Syria (636), Manzikert (1071 in Anatolia), Hattin (1187 near Jerusalem), Constantinople (1453) and four by Christians, the 717 Siege of Constantinople (Byzantine Christendom), Tours (732 by the Catholic Charles Martel), Las Navas de Tolosa (1212 by the Catholic Alfonso) and the second Siege of Vienna (1683, won by the Catholic Sobieski). I would add that Don Pelayo’s victory at Covadonga in 722 was perhaps the most essential Christian victory in the West, setting the stage for Martel’s victory at Tours 10 years later, an even now reduced by ‘historian’s to a mere Musulman ‘raid’ comprised of a ‘small’ force of some 80.000 Jihadis.
Ibrahim is right in this assessment: if one of the European victories in the battles listed above had gone to the Musulman Jihad, it is quite likely Europe would have been colonised and Koranised by Muhammad’s cult.
The Koran plainly states that Christianity must be erased. Period. It is in almost every long ‘Sura’ or chapter in the Musulman handbook called recital. There exists some 1500 and more verses of Christianophobia and non-Muslim intolerance in this supposed ‘holy book’. The message could not be clearer – the world must be ruled by Mahometans who impose Sharia or 7th century Muhammadan codes on all populations.
For Muslims, the current Jihad against Christians is as old as the cult itself and can take on various forms – war, emigration, demography, deceit, terrorism – whatever will work to bring the Infidel under the yoke of Mahometan control.
As the book relates in great refreshing detail, few in the ‘West’ realize that the Mahometan world consists largely of land taken by force from Christian populations, which were then coercively Islamized over the course of centuries. Conquest and coercion are integral to Islam. The horror and scale of Muslim atrocities against Western populations, in this process of war, Jihad and Christian genocide are staggering. Millions – my estimate is 25 millions over 1400 years – were either enslaved, killed, or forced to be eunuchs. The massive enslavement, wanton destruction, desecration of all things Christian, the wild crucifixions, impalement on stakes, skinning alive, and of course endless rape and sexual predation. This is the world our ancestors lived in for over a millennium.
Musulmans and their cult have not changed. But the weak, effeminate (what is a woman?), lethargic, apathetic, ignorant, fat, supine West has changed – for the worse. Muslims still venerate their heritage and religion—which commands jihad against infidels—whereas the West has learned to despise its heritage and religion, causing it to become an unwitting ally of the jihad. The cult of Submission or Islam is terrorizing the West today, not only because it can, but because the West allows it to happen. There are as well many elements within Western states who actively support Musulmans and their claims either to special victim status, or to welfare and jizya (a tax on Infidels) in the form of welfare and state largesse. This will not end well for what is left of ‘Western Civilisation’. For no matter how diminished, a still swinging Scimitar will always overcome a non-existent Sword.
