I regularly note that muslims couldn’t build a transistor radio without western civilization.
” Saudi Arabia only abolished slavery in 1962 under pressure from the United States. Its labor market and that of fellow Petrojihadi kingdoms like Kuwait and Qatar are based on arrangements that look a lot like temporary slavery “
Look like? It IS slavery. Poor Indonesians, Indians, and Pakistanis built those new skyscrapers with low wage slaves. They often work 70 hours a week
Ms. Harf´s just announced program “Midnight Basketball for Jihadis” is seeking volunteers! State Department will provide coach class transport to the middle east for volunteers who meet the one job requirement: head must be small enough to fit through the hoop ...
” Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia that were never truly colonized still behead men and women for witchcraft and sorcery. Not in the seventh century or even in the nineteenth century. Last year.”
SA is NOT our friend, and NOT our ally.
Great piece.
It’s kind of amazing. Islam today still administers laws in a 6th century fashion. However, those on the Left in the US have this love affair with Islam, and they think the movie Kingdom of Heaven is real, and that Muslim warriors were the only ones that were civli. LOL. Islam was trying to conquer all the know world through barbarianism. Why do liberals find romance in this? But I digress. Burqas, stonings, beheadings, marching around a Meteor in Mecca, forced conversions, etc show they have not progressed at all. My libs brag how Islam invented Algebra. Actually Islam had nothing to do with it, It was a Persian mathematician that discovered it.
It is increasingly clear that the destruction of the march of Islam must occur if civilization is to survive. The fly in the ointment is the failure of civilization to maintain civilized standards. Abortion, sexual perversion, statism, atheism, homosexuality and more are reducing civilization to a barnyard of banality. Islam may be the only salvation open to a culture gone mad with debauchery.
Another reason B0stevedunhambarrysoebarkahbarrysoetoro hates those European colonialists.
doesn’t seem to be very modernized to me
Thanks to socialist education, almost everyone in the West could not build a transistor radio either.
Well it does not help that we have a Muslim in the Whitehouse either.
The battle between kalam (rational theology) and hadith (scriptural tradition) was won by the hadith in around 1100 with al-Ghazali and the founding of the madrasas. Al-Ghazali put together the orthodoxy which became the curriculum of these schools.He attacked the rationality of Avicenna and later,the aristotelianism of Averroes was not allowed.
When ISIS demands Jizya from non-Muslims, its not reviving some controversial medieval behavior. Its doing what even moderate Muslim countries were doing until European guns and warships made them stop.
If the French hadnt intervened, the same ugly scene would have gone on playing out in Morocco. If the United States hadnt intervened, the Saudis would still openly keep slaves.
Islam never became enlightened. It never stopped being medieval. Whatever enlightenment it received was imposed on it by European colonialism. Its a second-hand enlightenment that never went under the skin.
Wish someone could make Chris Matthews read this... or any of the idiots at MSNBC...
Roger that.
Did Obola attend the madrassas? Yes
Are non-Muslims allowed to attend the madrassas? No
Was Obola therefore a Muslim when he attended the madrassas? Yes.
Are Muslims allowed to leave Islam and live? No.
Is Obola still alive? Yes.
Therefore, Obola is still a Muslim.
Good article. Thanks for maintaining the ping list.
Yeh its not like joining the Tinity church of twisted Black hate speech means you have left Allah behind.
Modernised Islam?
Not by much, it seems.
al-Khwarizmi was a terrorist (sympathiser).
