Islam, America’s Survival, And Popper’s Paradox - Put another way, does America have a duty to tolerate that which threatens it?

As someone who regularly examines culture and politics, I often write about problems and, on occasion, offer solutions. Sometimes the solutions are relatively straightforward and obvious

The reality is, while Islam is most certainly a religion, it is also something else. It is a theology of conquest and subjugation. From its very beginning, Islam was about conquering and conquest, through any means necessary, including deception.

On a daily basis, we hear Muslim “scholars” and others speak in the streets, on college campuses, and online, among other places, telling us that Islam will basically take over. Even in high schools, they are welcomed to proffer Sharia.

And that gets to the crux of the problem. At its very core, Islam is incompatible with Western civilization. It does not believe in freedom of speech. It does not believe in freedom of religion. Women are second-class citizens, and non-Muslim women fare even worse.

All of this might just be an exercise in navel-gazing if it were not so deadly. Since 9/11, there have been more than 64,000 Islamic terrorist attacks around the world. Most were actually in Muslim countries, particularly those with American troops on the ground. But not all. Here in the United States, since 1994, there have been a total of 740 Islamic terrorist attacks or plots disrupted, while in Europe between 1994 and 2021, that number was 367.

It’s not just a terrorist-attacks numbers game, though. Across Europe, they’re seeing what happens when Muslims reach just 5% of the population. In France, over half of young Muslims want Sharia law; in Austria, a court made Sharia legal; while in the UK, Muslim rape rings were allowed to rape thousands of young white girls for more than a decade because the authorities were scared of being called racists.

--- "One of the little-discussed elements of Islam that is particularly dangerous is their prohibition on depicting humans and animals in art. It sounds like just a weird tic until you understand that this gives them the permission to wipe out every other culture's history."

An excellent addition to the thread. And a paradox for even Islam, as the various competing strains also have been willing to practice such "erasure" on each other, as well as other cultures.

No.

The First Amendment does not trump the Constitutional mandate to ensure a “republican form of government”.

Islam is incompatible with republican government. “Islamic republic” is a contradiction in the same way as “peoples’ republic”. Islam requires absolute control of society in all its aspects, thus it is the opposite of government in service of the people.

“Does America have a duty to tolerate that which threatens it?”

Only if the nation consists of 350,000,000 pu$$ies.

Thank you. Yes, and it really underlies the most dangerous element of Islam: it gives its followers agency to act on Allah's behalf in ways that Judaism and Christianity does not. Jews are generally authorized to judge their own, and Christians are expected to let God do the judging, but Islam hands out knives and says, "Go ahead." On all levels: on legal, on moral, on cultural, on sexual, on fellow Muslims, on non-Muslims, everyone, everywhere, all the time.

And not only does it make the religion itself dangerous, it attracts the most dangerous people. If you are bloodthirsty and cruel, with a desire to rape and kill, which religion will hand you the keys? Islam.

[NorthMountain]

They are willing to die for their God

"They" being Christians. Real ones.

The problem isn't willingness to die for your God, it's determination to KILL for your "god".

I’m just glad we are finally having the conversation. But we need a Super majority and 2/3rds state legislatures to deal with it decisively, like Japan.

Constitution: society does not have to tolerate its own destruction

[Democrat = party of treason]

The false religion of Islam needs to be forced back into the sand Countries where it belongs, period.

[ckilmer]

muslims should be kicked out because they are incompatible with western civilization and especially american civilization.

they should be kicked out of europe too.

too bad we have too many fat ladies

So called Islam history has a strong focus on preserving the life of Prophet Muhammad, the Quran’s revelation, and the early Muslim community’s development. While initial transmission was largely oral, documentation in the form of sīra (biographies) and hadith (narrations) was established within 150–200 years of the Prophet’s death.

Key aspects of Islamic historical records include:

The Quran: Considered the ultimate, primary, and divinely protected source of history, reflecting on past nations and the Prophet’s mission.

Sīra and Hadith: Biographical and tradition-based literature documenting the words, deeds, and life of Muhammad. Early Islamic scholars developed methods to verify narrations, which influenced later sociological understanding of “history.”

---

Non-Muslim Sources include External references from Syriac and Armenian sources of early Islam’s expansion.

Modern scholars and historians question the reliability of these records, noting that detailed, written accounts were compiled decades or centuries after the events, leading to discussions about the oral-to-written transition.

Note: There is a consensus that early Islamic historical texts often represent a combination of early traditions, with significant written collections surfacing in the 8th and 9th centuries.

The thousands of Somali Muslims imported into Minnesota are a prime example of Islam being culturally incompatible with western values. The Somalis still practice genital mitigation of young girls, still live off the government dole a decade after living in the US and have brought their skills as pirates to bilk a naive Minnesota welfare system out of billions of dollars.

No it doesn't. But those who wish to destroy America are better organized, have the main stream media on their side better financed [a/l/a, George Soros, etal.]. And at the present time may out number those who wish to save America.

Presently, there three factions in play: (1.) Those who wish to destroy America. (2.) Those who want to save America [Donald Trump is leading the charge. And all one has to to do to see the opposition he faces minute by minute is open their eyes and look around.](3.)The masses [included in those are those who don't give a damn, Idiots. the uneducated, appeasers, those who believe they can co-exist with islam fanatics, those who hate Whites, Those who hate Christians, fools]. + If America is going to survive, all muslims should be immediately and permanently expelled. But that is not going to happen. So expect them to take over eventually. If for no other reason by out breeding everyone else.

Suicidal white empathy is destroying what our ancestors have built over 2000 years of Christianity. And now the God hating liberals have basically destroyed it in a single generation. Sickening. Lincoln sent off the Copperheads. FDR rounded up Germans, Japanese, and Italian Americans. Eisenhower rounded up the illegals. We can do it. Islam is a curse on humanity.

It’s called peaceful slavery, and gun toting, lifted truck driving, “We the People...” sticker in the back window, big mortgage, big bills, trophy wife having “conservatives” absolutely love it!

All have a right to speech. This is not Germany who killed their country when they limited speech.

But, if someone, any individual, calls for violence or insurrection put them in prison. No immunity for calling yourself a scholar or a priest.
