Islam’s Problems and Critics are Nothing New

Don’t buy into the notion that the bad actors in the Islamic faith only exist because of America’s actions in the Middle East. Long before we ever put a boot on the ground in that part of the world, Muslims were showing what their faith was all about. For every person that has ever claimed that Islam is a religion of peace, there have been plenty around to dispute them. Some will try to convince you that Islam’s critics of the past were motivated by racism or xenophobia, but the concerns most often voiced seem only to focus on the religion of Islam, and not the muslim people. Many of history’s great thinkers have expressed concern and even disgust, not for Muslims, but for the Islamic faith that distorts their world view.

Islam has been conquering and slaughtering for the last 1,400 years. Their god believes in worldly gain through murder and slavery. Those who actually believe in the Christian God knows that theirs and ours are not the same ones.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

‘For every person that has ever claimed that Islam is a religion of peace, there have been plenty around to dispute it ‘

It is interesting in how connected those practicing the Muslim religion are to slavery through the modern ear.

If you look back to the Ottoman Empire and then forward to modern times, you will find slave trading and slave ownership to be something condoned by the enlightened Muslim religion. Yes, the Americas (US and Central Americas) had periods of slave ownership, but it still seems to be happening in the Middle East.

Time to face facts. Islamic culture is simply not compatible with the institutions, values and practices that constitute modernity. It is the reason that Muslim countries are inherently unstable and chaotically violent, despite often having great wealth and the people who wish to live better are migrating toward the lands formerly known as Christendom. Also the fact that Islam itself is used to mold the conscience of the barbaric jihadists must not be overlooked. Islamic “theologians” like the Saudi supported and protected Wahhabi motivate and mold the conscience of the 9/11 terrorists, the barbaric jihadists in Iraq, Egypt and Syria, over 3,000 documented suicide bombers and many bizarre lone wolves. These jihadists are bewildered reactionaries who actually believe they are doing the will of the divine and will be rewarded in some sort of pleasant afterlife. In actuality they cannot cope with modernity, are uneducated and seek solace in the customs and even dress of the 10th century. Either the West finally acknowledges that this is a real culture war or the bizarre Muslims will do grave harm in the West before they complete their journey to the dustbin.

Our first war was with the Barbary pirates who took slaves from ships and the coasts of Europe.

The Hindu Cush mountains translates into Kill Hindus since many thousands of people were forced over these mountains to be slaves in the Muslim Empire. Men, women and children died on the way. The Muslims enslaved millions of Africans, castrating many of the men.

Here is a book to read but only if you have a strong stomach because it does not pull any punches. You have to read it in small doses because it is so hellishly brutal. It was written by a man from Bangladesh who I believe was assassinated a few years ago. “Islamic Jihad: A Legacy of Forced Conversion, Imperialism and Slavery” by M.A. Khan. It is available in book form and on kindle.

The only people that don't get it are the ones that believed GW and all democrats.

Even a 10 minute walk through Google or YouTube will be more than enough to convince any one with more that 2 braincells that Islam is Evil. Erdogan himself has said there is no Radical Islam, there is only Islam. Hint that does not mean Islam is not Radical, it means all of Islam is radical.
