In the world of the morally righteous and socially liberal, stating that Islam poses a direct danger to the modern world and to civilization always elicits yelps and howls of outraged indignation. But this reaction is standard. Any deviation from the socially liberal policy of gay rights; the multi-cult club; internationalism; more taxes and monies for all interest groups; cultural relativity; eco-fascism; union support and internationalism, always exacts the same [yawn] response that you are a racist, fascist or pro American baby eating tyrant. One should expect such reactions from a society fat on orgiastic egoism and self-centred narrow mindedness, smothered in the tasty sauce of left-wing education and media systems.
Islam for many reasons, is a direct threat to Western Civilization. Islam is a threat because in the simplest and pithiest analysis, it is anti-modern. Islam has no relationship, commonality, or even interest in historical and societal progress. It also has nothing in common with our Western heritage or experience. It is mired in 7th century pagan Arab culture. Without external change there it shall remain. The orthodoxy and political dogma of Islam prevents it from being modern.
It is also an obvious truism to state that Moslems are not a race, any more than a Communist is part of a racial group. Moslems come in all hues of colour. The cult of Muhammadan is immanent – that is what the dogma states – it is not a race-based Fascism, though a good argument can be made that the Muhammadan cult is an expression of Arab racism and imperialism. Arabs subjugated many different colours and races to promote their moon-deity worshipping fascism. The entire cult however, encompasses a wide variety of peoples, so in the abstract, Islam is obviously a creed of dogma, not a race per se.
Stating that Islam is a political doctrine and one that is fascist in the real sense of that word [not in the useless meaning used in everyday slander] does not logically lead to a condemnation of a Muslim person. That is ridiculous. To state that a political ideology demands the character destruction of someone who believes in that ideology is simply invalid. One can criticize a theory or construct, without disparaging the person that is presenting such ideas. Likewise, I can forward ideas or debating points and the opposite party can deal with those in the abstract, without delving into adolescent personal attacks.
Around the Western world great millions of Muslims are peaceful, respectful and willing to help their adopted host countries. This assimilation is a brilliant aspect of Western culture. Islamic lands do not allow such integration. A practicing Christian, able to do so freely and without fear, is unheard of in Islamic lands, much less a devout Jew. The Middle East and North Africa were once home to millions of Christians and are now completely Arabicized, with Arabic language, culture and political theology erasing pre-existing societies.
The political theology of Arabia has spread and mutated across Asia and Africa thanks to war. There is little evidence that Islam expanded through peaceful non-violent means. Christianity for instance used both war and peaceful means to spread its doctrine. Non-European societies were forced in the age of discovery and colonialization, to accept at the point of a sword the Christian faith, but other regimes, empires and peoples converted in even greater numbers peacefully or through the conversion of the regime’s elite. This is due to the true religious appeal of Christianity in which the doctrines of the New Testament are almost the exact opposite of the Koran. In any meaningful study of the Koran the curious reader is left wondering if he is reading a fantasy ideology or unconnected streams of delirium.
This is not however to condemn the individual Muslim. Many Muslims only know the Islamic way of life. To pray, to bow, to submit, to hate or vilify is in their cultural water. Socialization through education, family pressure, cultural norms and media propaganda easily perverts even the sharpest of minds. One cannot blame the individual for the destructive nature of the society of their birth.
This then leads to a greater problem – awakening the Muslim mind. This is achieved through two means. First, in the West we must assimilate not ghettoize our Muslim immigrants. We must provide access, growing economies, jobs and information at all levels on our Western civilization and Western systems of development. Pride in ourselves and in our civilization is the first step to bring the Muslim immigrant into our world. Once they partake of our culture, their proclivity towards intolerant ideals and fascism will dissipate. Second, we must liberate the Middle East from its 7th century paganism and open up its society to the ideals of globalization, tolerance and the golden rule. Islam is at war everywhere, with everyone. This is simply unacceptable.
The unacceptable nature of Islam does not mean we condemn the individual Muslim. It means we have the moral duty to lead them to greater understanding and promote modernity into their culture so Islam too can co-exist with the world.
