The Third Totalitarian Movement: Caliphism

I believe the excuse the liberals used for us to withdraw from Vietnam that it also was a 'civil war'

The West should look to fostering Zoroastrianism back into the Middle East. Maybe when Iran's theocracy falls it will come back in resurgance like when the Shah was in power.

I don't think a 'modern caliphate' (oxymoron) is possible. The two main sects of islam will continue to fight each other as well as everyone else. To imply that muslims want one ruler is contrary to just about everything I know about islam. They like their little abusive cults. An overriding authority of any type will not last to the average degenerate muslim.

[avacado]

How would you fit the Shiites into this given the situation with Iran encroaching upon Iraq?

Good post!

But if there is ever a leader that can bring all the sects together, he will be very dangerous.

Charles, what you are saying has a lot of merit.

What we are seeing now is the different tentacles of Islamic power trying to morph into something more coherent, and that is The Caliphate. Once that happens, I agree with you that The Caliphate will provide the moral imperative and direction, as well as resources, for the Islamists to fulfill their appointed mission--to subjugate the world. Russia and China are not out of this mix. A prostate Europe and a morally weakened defeatist USA will not offer much of a resistance in the future if we do not get ahead of this curve.

You can almost sniff in the air that big events are coming. War is looming. Iran will have to be hit, but will we have the will to do it. If we don't, Iran will become as powerful as Nazi Germany or Communist USSR on the world stage--hitting us at home and abroad.

And for all of our treasure and sacrifice that we have paid for the last 60 years to keep the world stable and free, once we fall, no one will come to help us.

Great post and I'm happy to see this recognized.
Of course the politically correct crowd will
fight this tooth and nail to all of our peril....JJ61

The 'if' is contrary to islam. They don't have a centralized authority. They have millions of 'imams' ruling over demented little cults. This is the reason that islam is unable to evolve and adapt out of the middle ages unlike other religions such as Christianity have done. The problem is islam.

[eureka!]

Well done. Victor Mordecai was on Michael Medved today in the second hour. I would commend all to listen to him if Medved archives his shows, which I think he does. It is chilling...

Luckily, 4/5ths of the world is non-Muslim

I would like to point out that the Nazis of WWII were far fewer in population. Does it really matter if 80% of the world is non-muslim if they do not resist? Non-Muslim Russia and non-Muslim China are currently supporting Iran. France has become a puppet state for the Islamo-Fascists.

What is not understood is that we tend to proscribe our own values onto others. We believe that our notions of tolerance and liberty are universally held. The Islamic Tradition however does not maintain a separation of Church and State. To use Islamic terminology, the concept of State, which in Western Culture would afford protection of individual rights, is subject to Islam (land of peace). Secular States that are not subjects of Islam are abhorrent to the Islamo-Fascist (land of war).

Correction: "Prescribe" not proscribe.

[Uncledave]

Not to minimize the danger of radical islam, but the Nazis and Soviets were different in that they were modern economies and industrial nations capable of building and organizing a modern army. The muslims will never have an effective army vs. the west. Only hopes for the bomb, which is exactly what we must prevent.

The West should look to fostering Zoroastrianism back into the Middle East.

Good one, but how? My suggestion is replacing "Die Valkyrie" as the helicoptors ride to "Thus spake Zarathustra." A real Straussian finale could accompany the climax!

[Gunny Gene]

Here's what I think: I think there are far too many people over analyzing the whole thing. The "West" is suffering from analysis paralysis. The media really wants it to continue at a mutually agreeable level of violence so they have something to yak about, and the rest of us just want to be left alone. We spent enormous amounts of time, money, and energy trying to justify our position or our actions, or trying to win "hearts and minds". It ain't gonna happen. Nobody is going to change their mind. Either we die or they die. Period. Git'r done, and shut up about it. I'm tired of the bullshit.

[Gritty]

[etradervic]

The bomb and a mindset that is not deterred by the idea of "mutually assured destruction" makes them just as dangerous as the Nazis or Soviets.

Better yet Bush has hired some real smooth talkers and they
want us to talk to Iran, we are going to talk the heck out of them Ill just bet and if we keep talking long enough
they are going to surprise attack us, but dont worry Bush
will look great when he visits the next ground zero and
hell talk a tough game.
