The West is playing an international game of RISK with the Muslim world
American Thinker ^ | 4 Sep, 2025 | Vince Coyner

Unfortunately for the West, the Muslim world understands the game’s optimal strategy, while the West is barely showing up.

In the board game RISK, the goal is world domination. You achieve that by battling other players within and across continents. The best strategy is to take and hold Australia. Once secured, you can build up your troops while defending the single point of access to keep your opponents at bay, then attack in a methodical style and slowly expand.

This strategy doesn’t always work, but the notion of finding an easily defendable base where you can husband resources and use it as a launching pad to attack others is sound.

We’re actually seeing that strategy play itself in real-life competition that is anything but a game. Of course, I’m talking about Islam.

SNIP

Not that the Muslim world was monolithic, because it wasn’t. There were often competing caliphates and competition within caliphates, but the Islamic world never experienced anything resembling the kind of balkanization that characterized Christian Europe for most of its post-Roman history. Nor was Europe the only area that Islam sought to conquer, for at times it controlled all of India and much of Western China, stretching south to Indonesia.

Today, we live in a different world where caliphates in the traditional sense no longer exist. Instead of having one or multiple caliphates controlling large empires of Muslim lands, today there are over 50 countries where Muslims rule.

But just because we live in a different world doesn’t mean we’re living in a different world. Just as Muhammad and his successors sought to expand Islam to the ends of the earth, today we have a similar push, albeit from a far more grassroots source.

“ The issue isn’t Islam, it’s fundamentalist Islam.”

There’s only one islam.

And it ain’t “moderate” in any way, shape, or form.

It was in actuality WW II.

The European gene pool was severely altered by the deaths.

Presently, the invasion of immigrants from Africa is in effect Darwinian survival of the fittest. The weaker genetics are replaced by stronger genetics. There is no hybridization.

One or the other will ultimately prevail

Yes, this is absolutely a clash of civilizations. The Muslims realize this. The native Europeans do not.

So right now it’s a few quickly reproducing wolves vs. many stupid sheep. The smart money would be on the wolves.

Fundamentalist Christians would say the same thing about Christianity. A nuns habit for instance is not that much different than a burka as an example.

The Kingdom of God isn’t a Democracy, and there is no freedom of speech, action or even thought.

But if most Muslims became the equivalent of most Christians, and simply called themselves Muslim, but never went to the mosque and maybe celebrated on Muslim holiday a year in some simple way. Those Muslims would fit right in with the rest of the world easily

I had a care giver for my mother , tell me to read the Koran and enlighten myself. I told her to gather her sh!t and get out of my house. How stupid are these barbarians

How stupid are non Muslims (infidels) for NOT reading a TRUE Translation of the Holy Koran?

The translations of the Holy Quran being sold to non Muslims have been altered to make Islam look like a religion of peace.

Remember in one memorable scene, one of Scott's lines says it all: As Patton surveys the positive results of the battle in progress between Allied forces and the Nazi army in northern Africa, he proclaims, “Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!”

: Every non Muslim needs to read our enemy's book.

Until they do, and then behave accordingly, this madness will never end.

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.

“What kind of a fool would invite them in?”

George W Bush for one.

In bookstores is a very expensive, beautifully bound in green leather Holy Koran. If one was going to give a gift to someone, like a president (Bush), a senator, a judge, a Pope or any other high "ranking" person in society, it is what you would buy.

Every page was in Arabic on the left side, and English on the right. The English side was just like the other modern ones sold in the USA, all the "bad" stuff left out so one would think it is a "religion of peace".

I have a non Muslim friend who is fluent in spoken and read Arabic. I asked him to come to the bookstore with me, because I was too cheap to buy the book.

I pointed out the sura I mentioned, and a few others, plus there were some he was familiar with he wanted to check. (he had spent quite a few years in Saudi-Arabia as a civilian). I have never seen the expression that came on his face before. Absolute shock.

He had only seen true versions before too. He said, "My God, they are two different books". I remember those exact words. I don't remember the rest of his comments word for word, but he went on to say, that this explains why so many people in our government have the wrong idea about Islam.

Every non Muslim (infidel) needs to read a true translation of the Holy Koran. Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening.

Western leaders make the mistake of thinking everyone else in the world thinks the way we do and is motivated by the same things.

Most Muslims in particular, don't and aren't.

IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE.

The issue isn’t Islam, it’s fundamentalist Islam. Watered down Islam is no more of threat to the world than watered down Christianity.

If you have Muslim "friends", here's an interesting thing to do.

Be alone with one, or in a friendly, relaxed situation. Disarm him or her with friendly banter.

Then this or similar:... "[their name], I know you are a Muslim, and I would never think of trying to convert you to anything else. But do you, as a Muslim, believe that other people should be free to believe in their religions too, whatever they may be, Catholic, Jew, Hindu, Presbyterian, Baptist, and so forth? Watch their eyes. Listen to their response.

The first Muslim I asked the question regarding other religions had been a friend for around six months. He was about as "moderate" and a friendly Muslim as you'll ever meet.

He was well educated, a Colonel in the Egyptian army, his wife a surgeon.

When I asked him the question, you should have seen the look of pure chilling hatred that came across his face. He looked me right in the eye. His response: "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammed is his messenger".

Then he went right back to normal.

Every non Muslim (infidel) needs to read a true translation of the Holy Quran or Koran. Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening. Forget the ones in the bookstores, they have been altered to make Islam look like a "religion of peace".

My aunt and uncle, my wife and I were eating at a restaurant in Westchester county, NY. My relatives had known the waiter for many years and considered him a friend. He was very professional and friendly. He was also a Muslim. So I asked him "the question". The same look of extreme hatred came over his face, and the same answer. "There is no God but Allah and Muhommud is his messenger". His answer and demeanor really shook up my aunt and uncle. They never ate there again.

One of the applications ai seems good at is language translation. I hope thus helps fixing that phenomena you describe and people begin to see what madness is baked into Mohammedism

Bad example. Christianity doesn’t demand that all women wear them all the time.

Islam needs some brave Muslim to nail his 95 theses to the mosque door and start a Reformation or it will face extermination in a bloody world conflict little different than another cult bent on world domination, the Nazis.

I was so damned sick of the “Islam is a religion of peace” BS and “Those weren’t real Muslims.”

Bull feces. None of those clowns read their rule book. Islam DEMANDS violence and domination. Islams enemies are to be murdered or converted by the blade. Islam has been in a constant state of war since its founding. Islam is a brutal blood thirsty violent satanic death cult that has no place in any society. The 9-11 attacks were celebrated by the Islamic world.

Let’s be frank, Islam is a creation of Muhammad who was satanically inspired by the Devil to write the Quran and create out of whole cloth a false God, Allah, a pseudonym for the devil and a cult worship to go along with it called Islam. This elaborate demonic deception is the Devil’s attempt to gain control of our Creator’s earthly kingdom. It’s Satan’s attempt at getting even with the One Triune God. Upon our creation the Lord vested in us the inherent wisdom and the free-will to avoid being deceived by the Devil/Allah. Allah’s attempt to destroy civilization will only succeed if man is foolish enough to allow it to happen. Pray that mankind choses wisely.

You will get no argument from me.

Satan - The master of lies.
