The Muslim world was minding its own business for several hundred years, while the great powers of Western Europe were colonizing the Western hemisphere and large swaths of Asia.
The modern Muslim jihadi did not exist until the British showed up in the Middle East around the time of World War I.
It’s easy to go way back in history and find all sorts of both positive and negative things that can be used to define all different cultures. But it’s just cherry picking.
America used to be a truly free and independent nation. It hasn’t been for quite a long time. But our leaders continue to cloak themselves in our once great history.
By the same token, you can go back to Islam’s violent medieval period, and point to certain things in its scripture to demonize it. You can call it backwards, sexist, etc, etc.
But if you go back to the 18th and 19th century, a typical Muslim living in a typical Muslim country was not living the life of someone possessed by a Satanic death cult.
It is the evil leaders of the modern West who have radicalized Muslims and brought them into Western countries. All of this has been planned and is entirely inorganic.
I used to be the biggest Islam hater you could ever meet. Then I started thinking about all the things that don’t add up.
Like the fact that the first Jewish Zionist settlers who came to Palestine in the late 1800s, when it was under the control of the Ottoman empire, faced absolutely no violence. All that changed the second that the British showed up.
Or the fact that there was absolutely zero Muslim immigration to Western nations until after World War II.
Remember Charlottesville? Remember how the cops purposely shepherded the two opposing groups so they would come nose to nose with each other, in order to maximize the possibility of violent confrontation?
The same tactics have been employed to create this whole “Islam vs the West” narrative that is obviously very helpful to the wealthy and the powerful who thrive on chaos and division.
Unfortunately, when The illusionist tells us to pay attention to what the right hand is doing, we do exactly what they say, and never focus on what the left hand is doing instead.
Absolute BS. The muslims were not just minding their own business.
Muslims were a child raping death cult long before the Brits showed up.
It started with mohammed and nearly succeeded with the until the Crusades happened.
They are bent on world domination and subjection of all others to their perverted oppressive political system that spawns nothing but hate. They move into a country with then goal of dominating it. Rapes go up, crime goes up, sharia law gets instituted, people lose freedom and rights, they destroy the culture and history of the areas they infest, even to actively destroying rare historical artifacts.
They don’t NEED to do that and blaming others for it is blame shifting.
Your support of them is reprehensible and unwarranted.
The Barbary pirates were taking Europeans as slaves for hundreds of years.
The Turks (Muslim) slaughtered over a million Armenians (Christian) in 1915.
For about 300-400 years, Western culture has been able to keep Muslims at bay because of the technological superiority of the West.
Muslims on the Mediterranean coast of Africa were kidnapping and selling Christians as slaves as late as 1850. The Barbary wars the United States fought under President Jefferson were because Muslims were kidnapping Americans and selling them as slaves and/or demanding ransom for them. That was in the early 1800s.
It is only because Muslims were defeated militarily that they stopped enslaving Christians (mostly from slavic countries) and Africans. Britain fought wars to stop the slave trade of both Christians and Muslims. Those wars mostly took place from about 1850 to 1910 or so.
