Why Islam Will Likely Win Its Forever War Against the West

Excerpt:

......Should Islam be considered a threat to “Civilization As We Know It,” i.e., Western Civ? That question has at least two answers.

One answer is yes; since the two civilizations have antithetical values, Islam is a threat. A good Muslim knows he has to spread Darul Islam and conquer Darul Harb. There are now 49 Muslim countries and some of them have serious militaries. Numerous Islamic groups will not only defend themselves from the medieval Crusaders reinvented as modern Americans, like the primitive Houthis on the Red Sea. Many want to take the show on the road and conquer potential dhimmis in Europe from the inside.

The Ummah will fight not so much with planes and tanks, but with weapons they can afford, which are ironically not just vastly cheaper but vastly more cost-effective. Among other things, they’ll use demographics and waves of migrants. Their large families are paid for by host countries. We won’t call their warriors “soldiers” or “terrorists” but “neighbors.”

One of Islam’s greatest strengths is also one of its greatest weaknesses: namely, the fact it’s more than a religion; it’s a complete worldview. It doesn’t just prescribe how one deals with the supernatural, or even just morality, but dictates one’s approach to finance, science, art, politics and life in general. This has a certain utility in uniting primitive people for the purpose of military conquest using simple technology. If you can convince a horde they’re going to Paradise if they die on a Jihad against the enemy, you’ve got a formidable low-tech military force. But groupthink and other ingrained Islamic habits are very unhelpful in any other area of civilization. On the other hand, who needs an expensive missile when Muslim teenagers, available in unlimited quantities, can deliver suicide bombs accurately?

Some, especially those in National Security circles, discreetly ask what should be done about the Muslim threat. My answer is: This is not a military problem and can’t be solved with military solutions. It was one thing when Islam was confronted by an equal ideological foe in the form of Medieval Christianity—or even the Christianity of 100 years ago. But, unfortunately for the West, its ideological counterforce is now essentially Wokeism.

Wokeism can be loosely defined by degraded concepts like intersectionality, LGBTQ, DEI, safe spaces, widespread triggering, shameless pandering to minorities, identity politics, guilt about the values of the West, and a desire to abolish traditional norms and culture. And something called Islamophobia—it’s as if the West is supposed to welcome Islam. When, in fact, Islam is as pernicious as Nazism or Communism.

The Ummah of Muslims suffers from none of this. In fact, it is exactly the opposite, to an extreme. Random examples are the persecution of Rushdie’s Satanic Verses, the Charlie Hebdo murders in Paris, and dozens of murders and rapes with ideological motives. All over Europe, once they reach a critical mass, they act as if they’re already the rulers. There’s no resistance from weak and demoralized Europeans.

The Muslims I know are, individually, as decent as anyone else. The conflict arises when there’s a critical mass, and they start thinking of themselves as part of the Ummah conquering Darul Harb.

On the other hand, in the long run, Islam is not a threat at all. Because Muslims take their religion so seriously, they will necessarily fall behind in every other area of human endeavor. Slavish belief in a book that came to an illiterate Arab warlord in his dreams in the early 7th century is unlikely to lead to success in a wealthy, high-tech world. There are Muslim technicians who can learn by rote. But very few Muslim scientists because science requires independent thought. Almost all Muslim scientists, not coincidentally, live in the West. Islam can’t keep up except through force.

The economic future of countries with Islamic traditions will not be what it could be. The only Islamic countries that are doing well are those sitting on pools of oil. Their tall buildings and impressive airports were all designed in the West and built by imported labor. Islam’s wealth is only there because of an accident of geography. Its masses are only sustained by the agricultural and medical technologies the West has given them.

A continuation of the Forever War between Islam and the West seems likely. The major theatre will be Europe, which has pretty much always been the case for the last 2,000 years. The Europeans will lose because of their lack of will and overwhelming demographics.

The followers of Jesus and Mohammed share two features: each claims to be the only true faith as defined in a holy book (the New Testament and the Koran, respectively), and each proselytizes (although the Christians have been much more aggressive regarding conversion—and that was in the past). Islam is much more about domination and conquest.

The fact is that every country conquered by Islam (with the exception of Spain) has stayed Islamic. Christians are much less strident now than in medieval, Reformation, and colonial times. In fact, large segments of Christendom are that in name only. Santa Claus and empty churches are mainly benign reminders, whereas the mosques being built throughout Europe are full. In Europe, Christianity is weak, even dying. That’s true to a lesser extent in the US. As Napoleon observed, in warfare, the psychological is to the physical as three is to one.

Islam is more than a religion to its 2 billion believers; it’s a worldview. It necessarily intrudes into all aspects of life—business, family, law, government—you name it. The Koran is largely written in the first person as the direct and incontrovertible word of Allah Himself. As the newest Abrahamic religion, Islam is at the same stage of development as Christianity was at the same age. It has a medieval outlook. Will it mellow? I doubt it. It would no longer be Islam if the Koran and Hadith are not strictly observed.

Although most eyes are now on the conflict between Russia and NATO in the Ukraine or the US and China, the Forever War with Islam shouldn’t be overlooked. It will be there long after the others are resolved. Islam has never lost any ground over 1400 years. It was quiescent up to 1946 but has been on the march since. At least in Europe, the prospect of a war of survival exists for several reasons.

Muslims have never integrated into other cultures. I’m not just talking about the recent migrations into Europe, where they universally live in self-designated areas that are “no-go” zones for Europeans.

The war in the former Yugoslavia was most virulent with the Muslim Bosnians. The breakaway state of Kosovo is a clash between Muslim Kosovars and Orthodox Serbs. These people had lived next to each other for hundreds of years. India may be the largest scale example. Pakistan forcibly separated from India in 1947, accompanied by perhaps 2,000,000 killings, and is 98% Muslim today. About 200 million Muslims remain in India but still have serious conflict with Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Farcis, Jews, and Jains, who live peaceably with each other.

The high and continuing immigration from Africa and Asia, compounded by a very high Muslim birthrate and a lower-than-replacement native birthrate, augurs poorly for the West. Estimates vary, but the Pew Research project, done in 2013, projected that by 2050, Muslims would make up over 30% of Sweden, 20% of Germany and Austria, and 15-18% of most other Western European countries.

Many factors could alter these demographics, but Mohammedans are already close to a majority in many major cities, including London and Paris. And major cities are where policy is made. Immigration is rising rapidly, not least because the EU essentially legislates the welcoming of “refugees.” They’re to be given free room, board, income, and a cell phone upon arrival, and in most cases, a hearing on their status doesn’t take place for many months. The only thing most Muslim countries produce is more Muslims. So-called refugees will play a significant part in winning the war against Darul Harb and the kaffirs in Europe.

In addition, there’s a growing trend for conversion in the West, evidenced by Andrew Tate—not someone I follow but he ranked #1 in Internet hits in 2022. It’s a trend among many black athletes, in particular Mike Tyson.

The Forever War won’t be fought with conventional armies, not just because the Islamic world doesn’t have the technology. But because Western militaries are useless against an amorphous mass of millions of people. The Houthis, a rebel group in Yemen, are proving that cheap missiles and drones launched against Western shipping and naval assets do a lot of damage. Launching multi-million dollar weapons against mud huts only makes more enemies.

So, what will the conflict be like? Amorphous and disjointed, chaotic and without fixed fronts. With many millions of Muslims in Europe—Pakistanis in the UK, Turks in Germany, North Africans in France, and Holland—Europe’s conquest of the world has come back to bite it. They’ll approach majority status over the next 20 years. They’re not being absorbed, and they (understandably) treat Europeans with contempt. Many millions more will arrive as boat people, whether Europeans like it or not, pretty much as Jacques Raspail projected in his novel Camp of the Saints 50 years ago.

In the past, the West asked the question: What’s our oil doing under their sand? In the future, the Muslims will ask: How can we rid ourselves of these aggressive infidels once and for all? Then the West will rephrase their question to: These people want to kill us! How can we stop them once and for all?

Many think that the US can’t lose a war because of its extremely high-tech military. Expensive toys can be useful from time to time; they can win some battles. But they’re basically useless for winning the next generation of warfare, like cavalry in WW1 or battleships in WW2. There may be a few aircraft carriers and F-35s around in 20 years. But they’ll be oddities reserved for special purposes, like typewriters.

In addition to winning the critically important demographic and ideological wars, the Muslims, backward as they are, may yet win the tech war over the short run. That’s because everyone can have weapons the West invented—nuclear, biological, and cyber weapons.

Should we worry about the current stage of the Forever War favoring Islam? It depends on your timeframe, I suppose. The short-run—the next 50-100 years—looks very turbulent and grim. Beyond that, only two things are predictable.

One, many people will continue to produce more than they consume and save the difference; this will create capital, which is critical for not only a higher standard of living but for the advancement of technology. That augurs well for the West. Muslims aren’t good at those things.

Two, since there are more scientists and engineers alive than have lived in all previous history combined, technology will keep advancing. Technology is the major force to advance the general standard of living. That also favors the West.

So, I’m essentially an optimist. Let’s just hope the savers aren’t wiped out and the scientists don’t do too much government work.

Mankind has risen from subsistence and living in caves as little as 10,000 years ago to reaching for the stars today – and the rate of progress has been accelerating. Why should one more culture war, including the Forever War, with the likely victory of the Mohammedans, bring that to an end? Unless we sink into a Dark Age.

One thing is for sure. Until and unless there’s a renaissance, the things we value about our civilization are in the process of being washed away.......

Upon his return Trump needs to check the muslim enclaves in the US. I would bet there are a large portion of them that are here illegally.

Technology for now is our best weapon, but we must destroy the watering down of STEM that they are trying to do via DEI and its offshoot variants.

Unless there is war in Europe it appears to be lost due to its feminization of culture and freeloading illegals.

Demographics are destiny.

IMO all Islam is not compatible with civilization and all Muslims need to be kicked out and sent back to where they came from with extreme prejudice.
