It is not Islam versus the “West”.
Far too many Muslims are at war with every other religion and nearly every other culture. They talk about the “West”??
Then explain Islamic attacks against Hindu’s, Bahai, Yazidis, Copts, etc.
No, Islamic peoples have slaughtered far more of themselves than outside cultures and religions.
At its core, many Shia and Sunni hate each other to death. When the haters have any free time, they hate everyone else.
The only thing in common among far too many Muslims is......hate.
They cannot be considered rational, in thinking they are going to convert all others to Islam or subject them to a tax.
and furthermore......
All Muslims need to realize that their religion, language and culture are not attractive enough, and will never have the force of will or might to subjugate the peoples of the Earth.
Muslims are destroying themselves trying to do so.
Islam is a dying religion because they can really only expand by breeding, and converting outsiders who have an inadequate self-image problem.
Yes there are worthy and honorable Muslims. But they are ignored because they are powerless to stop the extremist hater Muslims.
There will be much more blood and treasure wasted.
I cannot imagine what it will take to reform Islam, to rewrite the Koran, or to convert the salafists to peace.
