As a child of the Cold War with the Soviets as America’s enemy, when the wall came down and the threat of Communism faded, I was under the illusion that the world had inexorably turned a corner and that history was on the march to bring freedom, Capitalism and prosperity to the whole world…
The events of September 11 exposed that illusion for what it really was, a delusion. There were actually people out there who wanted to start a war with the United States.
With 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq Islam went from an almost nonexistent issue for most Americans to front and center. Suddenly Islam and Muslims are in the news on a daily basis, doing unspeakable things to one another and others.
Knowing nothing of this threat and wanting to know more I picked up books like Dore Gold’s Hatred’s Kingdom and Benny Morris’ Righteous Victims, and even a copy of the Koran, which honestly, I couldn’t get through. And I read a lot more online from guys like Steve Emerson, Robert Spencer and David Horowitz.
Over the following years you had everything from the Shoe Bomber to the Ft. Hood shooter to the San Bernardino attack and countless others. And elsewhere in the west you had everything from the murder of Theo Van Gogh to the London 7/7 attacks, the Charlie Hebdo attacks and others. It seemed like Islam was at war against the entire world.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the news, despite everything we were seeing with our own eyes, the blood, the carnage, the innocent victims, we were told that Islam wasn’t the problem, but rather the individual terrorists who just happened to be Muslim. “Islam isn’t violent” we were told despite the fact that most of the wars going on in the world involve Muslims and the Koran itself both directs and allows killing in Allah’s name. Seemingly we see Muslim violence everywhere but we’re told that there’s no connection to Islam, despite the fact that most of the time the perpetrators actually invoke Allah’s name during their attacks.
So the west, seeking to demonstrate their lack of “Islamophobia” decides to open the floodgates to Muslims from around the world with blind expectation that they would integrate into their societies – despite decades of proof of the exact opposite. And that held for the United States as well. You visit places like Dearborn, Michigan or Minneapolis, Minnesota or increasingly even places as far afield as Texas and it sometimes feels like you’re not actually in America.
But if one looks, it’s not hard to understand why. For the west, for most of the last 500 years there have been two poles seeking to influence life, the state and the church. The result of that pull between the state and Christianity is a civilization with extraordinary scientific and economic advancement, unprecedented levels of individual freedom and the miraculous levels of prosperity that came with them.
But for Islam, there is no such separation. There is one law and it covers everything. Freedom of speech and religion don’t exist. Both are tolerated when the numbers of Muslims are small in a nation, but once the numbers grow, they’re strangled. About 15 years ago Evangelist Peter Hammond demonstrated how this works:
Islam’s not a religion, it’s a supremist, expansionist and tyrannical ideology that is anathema to the very foundations of western civilization. Don’t take my word for it, take the words of Imams across the west. They seek to use demographics to overwhelm natives politically then impose a caliphate. Very soon western leaders are going to have to confront the fact that they have injected their polity with a virus that seeks to kill it.

He didn’t even get a majority in a primary where less than 5% voted........................
There's a reason Cuomo is staying in for the general election.
I might get banned for saying this but I think someone is going to have to pop off this commie from NYC before he takes office, otherwise the damage to all of us will be unable to be retracted.
Exactly. I keep seeing these articles implying his election win is inevitable.
I see no articles about Sliwa.
I think his tenure there will be therapeutic. I am not the least bit afraid of communism in someone else’s city of residence. Riots and collapse of NYC government will be a good thing as it is currently as corrupt and chaotic as it could be under the pretense of a democracy. Let it turn to shit, literally.
Celebrate his election.
Mamaidami reminds me of Portugal in 1910 when a socialist minority gov’t took over the country run by a conservative party. Every thing collapsed for several years before the socialist could be kicked out of the country. Maybe history will repeat itself only on a much more violent scale here in America.
“ It seemed like Islam was at war against the entire world.”
“Seemed”?
NY City only exists on the skimmings of Wall Street and massive government aid and debt, all courtesy of our printed, fiat monetary system, courtesy of the Federal Reserve.
Its truly late stage empire stuff where the bread and circuses eventually promotes a foreign, American-loathing leader for its largest city.
After 911, how is it possible that there would be a muslim elected as mayor of NYC? I guess it is the victimhood mentality, or the self-imposed guilt, but the liberals in NYC are about to get it good and hard. Somehow they will be shocked by the results, and will spin in circles to blame it on the Right.
p
Don’t worry. The Constitution requires the federal government to “guarantee to each state a Republican form of government.” If NY fails to prevent communism in that would be grounds for Trump to “Reconstruct” New York.
NYC will soon invalidate the phrase “nobody is that stupid”,
Losers, the envious, and pedos will always hear the call to power that is any flavor of collectivism. Just like rabies will always be with us.
When they tell you who they are, believe them.
Islam exists to conquer.
Period.
It is entirely incompatible with Western Civilization.
New Yorkers who can leave, will leave, and start the same communist takeover in the new cities they infested. “I didn’t think I would have to suffer the consequences of me voting for commies so I am moving to Tennessee. But Tennessee is so conservative and needs more green spaces, roundabouts, and gay theme days to celebrate diversity.”
Fox News will happily publish news shows on Escape From New York as cops leave, criminals take over, the Stock Exchange and major banks move to either Texas or Florida because their staff can't use the suddenly lethal subways to get to work, and local militias form to protect their neighborhoods.
The MSM will ignore all that but Fox still follows the old newsie policy of "If it bleeds, it leads."
