Thank you for bringing the concept to my attention. Muslims have also used this technique to befriend and then betray their enemies.
It’s how the took over Hungary in 1541 and made it Muslim for 150 years.
We Taxmen are realists and skeptics.
I’m also a CPA.. LOL
I chose “Taxman” as my FR handle when I quit lurking on 2 Nov 1998 because at the time, I was living in the WDC area and was an Evil Inside the Beltway Lobbyist for the National Retail Sales Tax, now the FAIRtax.
I’ve been an activist for the NRST since April 17, 1991 when I read Pat Buchanan’s op-ed piece “A tax whose time has gone?”
I no longer live inside the Evil Belway, but I still am a NRST activist!
See tagline!
Well, that and they were good swordsmen!
Yet as I continue to point out, nobody but Mohammed ever really was Islamic in Mohammed’s sense. A society couldn’t even survive, let alone hang around to carry out killings, if it were that cuckoo, that nuts. It would be soon engaged in mutual murders amongst itself for lack of “purity.” What is practiced is various more or less bowdlerized versions of Mohammed’s Islam, some more packed with hate than others, and all of themselves calling themselves Islam.
And so it probably is good realpolitik, barring a dramatic sweep of Islamic lands by Christianity, to let the more peaceful derivatives of Mohammed’s Islam keep on calling themselves Islam, in hope (and prayer in Christ) that the worst derivatives will eventually tire themselves out and extinguish themselves. If your mad neighbor is calming down, it really isn’t wisdom to keep on hollering about how mad he had been.
And so, my suggested policy is a wary, but by all means prayerful, “Wait and see.” Every civilized transaction that the West successfully engages in with “Islamic” peoples is that much more motivation to those people to lay down the madness. Thanks to petroleum, that’s a lot of peoples today, and if Donald Trump somehow can be inspired about how to get Iran on board the civilization train, that could be even more peoples. What George W. Bush did was clumsy and fell short of the ideal, but it wasn’t without some good — there are still official relationships going on between Iraq and the USA and that could be far worse.
1397 years of Islamic madness does not end easily.
A careful study of Islam will reveal that the Koran cannot be interpreted by a Moslem in any way other than the way it is being interpreted by the Moslems that are waging jihad against us.
IIRC, the current estimate is that 10% of the world’s Moslems are “radical;” that is, 10% act according to the Koran.
10% of 1.3 billion is a lot of people committing jihad!
Please see my post #68.
World-wide Jihad is getting worse - cf France and 2000 desecrated churches in the past two years.
Worldwide,
Know Islam, No Peace!
No Islam, Know Peace!
Seems to be the case, doesn’t it?
