Thank you, again.
Don’t tell the liberals this, but the Islamists are not their friends.
Excellent! Will do! Glad to see you back at the keyboard.
So the best way to dfeal with a Jihadi is to shoot them in the privates. Making a note.
A great essay FRiend!
Bump to the usual excellence
“Who taught Mohammed the Islamic jihad conquest formula?”
Here’s my opinion: NO ONE. He learned it all by his lonesome self, and figured out that he’d be more successful in pirating entire cities and countries if he said that “Allah” commanded him to do these things. In short, an evil, brutal man figured out how best to manipulate people. That’s it, it is no more complicated than that.
My brother studied Islam for a while (as one studies an enemy). His conclusion was that Islam was, at best, a barracks religion - a religion dedicated to conquest. Its way of life is training to obey commanders, showing its adherents (and others) the positive and negative incentives of following it or rejecting it, and providing a supposed “divine” justification for all that is worst in human nature.
That there are SOME people who follow Islam who we in the Judeo/Christian West would call “good” is besides the point - you’ll get that on the edges of any Bell Curve, particularly one that encompasses 1.3 or so billion people. On balance, however, those on the other end of this particular Bell Curve are so evil and so brutal that most of the rest of them under that curve will follow them without question, thereby strengthening them. In short, if this evil culture of brutal conquest is to be stopped, it must be done in such a brutal and decisive way as to either: a) permanently degrade their ability to harm large numbers of others or b) to persuade their culture that their “prophet” was false. To do either of those things would, IMHO, require nuclear weapons and other ferocious uses of force over such a long period as to rival the Crusades. I fear that we no longer have the gumption to do that, or that it will require the nuking of several dozen of our cities and other gruesome crimes to awaken us.
FYI, here is a very interesting short story about what could happen if we FAIL to wake up: http://www.dansimmons.com/news/message/2006_04.htm
Thank you, Travis, for presenting this essay. As usual, you stand on the walls trumpeting a warning...one that precious few heed.
Abraham Lincoln observed “This country cannot long survive half-slave and half-free. It must eventually become either all-slave or all-free”.
That can be extrapolated to “This world cannot long survive half-Muslim and half-non-Muslim. It must eventually become either all Muslim or all-non-Muslim”.
Excellent work. Thanks.
I wonder if any of the ranting morons wearing ISIS t-shirts in Ferguson are aware that jihadis routinely castrate blacks? I just love irony.
Indeed. Gutless and stupid, and they are usually among the first to beg to say the Shahada prayer on their knees when faced with jihad violence.
Satan.
I agree with that. Now I think it’s past time to dance around the issue with coded references.

I believe I saw Col. Peters, a commentator on military issues for Fox News, said this very morning, that we need to “kill every single one of them and their goat: and not stop till we achieve that goal...
I thought the Fox News gal might have a slight conniption fit, but she went with it...
Obviously we have had a lack of committed and serious leadership issue in our government for quite some time...Accepting the losses so far as an acceptable sacrifice to quell the temporary outrage in our country, long enough to do the very things to continue to make us more and more vulnerable to future attacks on our soil...
I believe Dick Cheney had it right, it is not a question of “if”, it will be “when”...And no one that day, and the days following, will be that happy ever again...
My philosophy is still very simple...Keep the fight and focus over there, not here...
I believe it is too late...The wheels are in motion...This country will come unglued on the next one...Sooner than later...
I just hope to have the time to get away from anything resembling a city, as quickly as possible when the proverbial “caca hits the electrically powered air moving device”...
Just my opinion and plan...
"...reality is that the way you deal with the Islamic State (caliphate), these bloodthirsty, blooddrunken terrorists is to kill them, keep on killing them until you kill the last one... then you kill his pet goat. THAT's how you deal with them!"
UP!!! and pls put me on any advanced sale notice list for your next novel, thx
Under Islam there have been varying high and low periods, also varying from place to place. For example, under the rule of Sultan Mulay Ismail in 18th Century Morocco, the hard labor was all done by black and white slaves who perished in droves in extreme misery, under conditions like those experienced by Jews under the Nazis. He was a Hitler who survived as absolute ruler for more than 60 years. Great miles-long palaces were built on the bones of slave labor.
Or an absolute ruler might turn out to be a gem, an enlightened gentleman for the age, yes, that happened and the hard edge of Sharia was sometimes blunted. But always and every time, in every century, the end of a ruler meant the high chance of a bloodbath, and the next ruler could be a blood brother of Mohammed, or al Queda, or IS.
It is always a danger that this 7th Century fanaticism will break out, it has happened over and over through history. Islam cannot have a reformation that “sticks” beyond an enlightened ruler or two, because there are always determined mullahs of the Khomeini or Bagdadi stripe ready to grab power as the new Sultan or even Caliph. Bagdadi is merely the latest in a long line. Eruptions of 7th Century fervor are always a risk in Islam.
I’ll give you a real world example. Morocco is presently very politely Westernized, insofar as any Muslim country can be. The hip young king even married a red-headed Berber wife who looks like Maureen O’Sullivan, God help me. She appears with him in Western dresses with flowing tresses. He is making a point. One wife, hair out, shoulders in dress like Paris. It is a signal, one of many. Surfers from Europe flock to Moroccan wavs, tourists flock along the promenades. European bathing suits and customs are tolerated along the beach strips. You can buy wine and beer at shops run by Christians, near the beaches.
But brother, it could turn on a dime, and the enlightened king can beheaded and replaced by a spiritual brother of Bagdadi, swearing allegiance to the new IS caliphate. Don’t rule it out, ever. Every century or two there is a new self-proclaimed Mahdi. Bagdadi is calling himself the Caliph, and all must swear loyalty to him. The black flag with the white ball logo is his personal mark, to distinguish it from generic Al Queda or Hamas black flag with the shahada all on one line.
Islam is unreformable. It’s blueprint always gives a handle to maniacs who can recruit armies of brainwashed killer zombie mutant humanoids.
Thanks. I’m pretty immersed in this subject, while writing my next novel which features a return to a new corsair era, with weakened Europeans unable to sustain a sea patrol presence. From Morocco to Ireland is just 1,200 miles due north. In the 1600s not only were sailors grabbed at sea for slavery, but the corsairs made land raids and carried off thousands, as far north as the British Isles and even Iceland. Vast regions of southern Italy and Spain were subject to slave raids for centuries. When the power equation tilts their way, they take advantage. Anyway, that’s sort of the background of my next novel.
So all of this talk of “reforming” Islam makes me put in my 2 cents. Islam is unreformable because the Koran is a handbook for homicidal maniacs in any century.
