Rather than conquest, we’re more likely to be invaded and out bred. Our own stupidity is a big contributor to our demise.

Colonialist Settler arabs should return to their Arabian homeland from which they launched wars of conquest against the indigenous Jews and Christians.

That’s the correct viewpoint.

Use the Left’s own slogans against them.

The Arabs were mad about the Crusaders?

Too bad. Just decolonizers throwin’ out the trash.

islam is pure evil. It’s for the clueless. It’s all a lie. muhammad was a violent murderer. He was a thief that robbed caravans. He was a pervert that had sex (or rape as we call it) with girls as young as 9. Islam is evil.

We hear those clowns protesting saying “hey hey ho ho “whatever evil bs they’re saying” has got to go” — What needs to go is bringing their evil asses into the USA. We don’t need anyone named hussein or muhammad in this nation. They bring us nothing of value.

”The Arabs were mad about the Crusaders?”

The muslims were attacking Christians for 400 years before the first crusader even suited up.

We have seen that when Islam acquires wealth (the Gulf States) it very quickly comes to understand the need for civilization and rule-of-law - at least sufficient law to protect the wealth-possessors. Radicalism requires governmental imposition of poverty (Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran) to generate fuel for resentment, just as it does in urban communities in the USA.

Take poor young men from any culture and stoke their resentments for partisan political gain and you start seeing massive self-inflicted wounds - as in Europe.

The elites may have concluded that they can ultimately buy off their resentful shock troops with welfare benefits after those elites gain the power they seek through cultural destruction, but this will likely prove to be a fallacious gamble. The mob will want the elites' wealth, and go right after their erstwhile benefactors.

Yes-

AND- what people in the West fail to understand is that in Islam, society is organized around religion.

Religion is the law: Sharia and the Mufti (a cleric judge).
Religion defines what you eat: Halal

Religion defines what you get to say, the limits of free speech and democracy, how the financial system operates, gender roles, sexuality, how religions interact, the tax system...

In the West you have a secular society organized around a political system, a republic and democracy. You have a capitalist system driven by market forces supposedly, albeit today it has become more and more government controlled and centralized.

In Islamic society, everything revolves around religion which defines your education, what language you speak (Arabic), etc.

How can the West with its liberal (classic definition) and secular society accommodate such a religion?

How can the Germans who eat pork, like beer and wine, have a naturalist tradition, value the right to free expression, equality between the sexes, tolerate other religions, respect the outcome of a secular justice system and a democratic process, are sexually very liberal/open, mix with Islam and not expect problems?

The West et. al. is trying to mix mutually exclusive value systems and one of them is willing to resort to violence to achieve its expansionist goal. The West ignores 1,400 years of history, opinion polls in Islamic nations, the words of religious and political Islamic leaders, Islamic doctrine and literally what it states verbatim... and comes up with asinine sound good junk like “Religion of Peace” to smooth over what is a predestined and unavoidable clash of civilizations if these cultures mingle. The West literally projects its values of tolerance and inclusion, we literally victimize the culprit and self flagellate by pretending as if we are somehow to blame for all of this using everything from the Crusades to modern day Western involvement in the Middle East or even blaming Israel for what is a fundamental problem within Islam.

Here is a simple fact that makes all of this glaringly obvious: You can mix Jews, Christians, Hindu, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Shinto and they can all figure out how to get along. But if you add Muslims to anyone of them, things blow up. You can’t mix Muslims with other brown people, white, yellow, or blacks. You can’t mix them with the most liberal societies as in the Netherlands, or the most conservative, you can’t mix them with communists or capitalists, Spanish speakers or Chinese speakers, in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas and not have problems. ***At some point one should see a constant here, and it ain’t us!***

Jews have been disinterested in converting people

1. The correct word is uninterested, not disinterested.

2. Nor were the Jews always uninterested in converts. For several centuries -- roughly from the Hellenistic Period till the destruction of the temple -- Jews aggressively pursued converts.

Matthew 23:15

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves."

I watch a lot of true crime shows and many of these shows are about crimes of a sexually sadistic nature and based on what I have read of such, Muslims, especially the males, fit the profile of sexual deviants.

Islam seems to appeal to those who are sadists; therefore based on that, it is not a legitimate religion but a sadistic sex cult and has no part in civilized society or nations.
