When It Comes To Islam, Are We In The West Too Stupid To Survive?
American Thinker ^ | 6 Jul, 2025 | Richard C. Crandall

Posted on 07/06/2025 4:18:34 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Because we Westerners constantly lie to ourselves about Islamic ideology and its societal regulations, we have no idea what we’re facing.

I question whether we will survive as a nation or are even worth saving. If nothing else, our refusal to recognize Islam for what it is seems to presage our demise.

Putting aside the damage leftism does to American culture, we are also at risk from Islam, about which we still remain appallingly ignorant 24 years after 9/11. Instead, we have adopted the myth of “Moderate Muslims.” Before elaborating on Moderate Muslims, we must ask, “What other groups get to use the prefix “moderate?” During WWII, were there moderate Nazi members of Congress who claimed to only believe in the “good” parts of Mein Kampf, such as free health care. Were there moderate members of the KKK who only went out occasionally lynching, burning, and raping? And where are the moderate wife beaters who avoid hitting the face and who don’t leave visible bruising?

Moderate Muslims adopt a cafeteria approach to Islam, ignoring those they dislike or that play badly in the West, all while clinging to the core message: A worldwide caliphate, free of all other faiths, except those that are useful to their Islamic overlords.

The current image of a Moderate Muslim is Ilhan Omar. That begins with how she dresses. Although Muslim women are required to be completely covered, except “the eyes or one eye to see the way,” Omar wears Western clothing, often with a turban. Her eyebrows look carefully groomed, but in Islam removing eyebrow hair is forbidden because you cannot alter what the Islamic god created (here, here, and here). Conversely, pubic and armpit hair must be removed, and there is the female genital mutilation exception to altering what the Islamic god created.

The left will have riots if we try to remove the muslims from our society. We will have to deal with the left too.

I am under no illusion about Islam. To me, the upcoming billions dead is simply a reality. But try to tell other people.

Maybe the left wingers are not stupid at all. Maybe they know exactly what they are doing. They want to use Islam, to bring down America.

C.f Enoch Powell, “Rivers of Blood Speech” 57 years ago. Powell was only missing the supercharger effect of Islam.

For all the morons who think Powell was a racist, show them this:

“Nor can we ourselves pick and choose where and in what parts of the world we shall use this or that kind of standard. We cannot say, “We will have African standards in Africa, Asian standards in Asia and perhaps British standards here at home”. We have not that choice to make. We must be consistent with ourselves everywhere. All Government, all influence of man upon man, rests upon opinion. What we can do in Africa, where we still govern and where we no longer govern, depends upon the opinion which is entertained of the way in which this country acts and the way in which Englishmen act. We cannot, we dare not, in Africa of all places, fall below our own highest standards in the acceptance of responsibility.[86]: 207 “

The fact that western nations don’t treat Islam as a terrorist organization answers the question. “There is no moderate Islam, only Islam.” - Turkey PM

Muslim ‘suport’ doesn’t hve anything to do with ‘smart’....it’s all about emotion

Disaffected young people, uneducated and other social and moral misfits are easy targets for all sorts of extremist views

They certainly do align with the muslims in their hatred for our nation. The communists are however in for a rude surprise when they learn that the muslims will, in fact, lop their heads off should they offend allah or violate some aspect of sharia law. This will be realized only after it is too late to excise them from our society. They will then know what they have done, but again, it will be too late.

Every non Muslim should read a true copy to understand what we are facing.

Don't bother with any printed translation since the 1950s or so. They have been altered to make Islam look like a "religion of peace".

IMHO, the best translation is for free here:

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/16955

This is a link to a free book on Gutenberg.org, three translations by 3 Imams of the Holy Quran side by side.
