Part 5 on the Doctrinal Foundations of Islam

In 1993, Harvard Professor of Political Science Samuel P. Huntington published an article in Foreign Affairs, based on his 1992 lecture at the American Enterprise Institute, entitled “A Clash of Civilizations.” In 1996, he published his expanded thesis in a bestselling book, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. Unfortunately, the political classes in the United States and Europe paid little attention to his work and thesis. The need for cheap oil, the lust for cheap-labor profits, and the emerging dominance of multiculturalist philosophies and rabid forms of diversity-engineering and political correctness blinded Europe and America to the true nature of Islam that had been much better understood by previous generations of cultural and political leadership.

Islam can only be defined by its sacred doctrinal standards—the Koran and the Hadiths (traditions) and Sira (life example) of Muhammad—and measured by its true history. It cannot be redefined according to political correctness standards and whitewashed history no matter how much liberal academic and media blather and Muslim Brotherhood bribery attempt to portray Islam as a religion of peace and tolerance. It is basically an aggressive totalitarian ideology wrapped around a core mixture of religious borrowings expediently amended by Muhammad and including a number of heretical Jewish and Christian tales. In the not too distant past, Western religious and political leaders had a firmer grasp on the truth than the fairytale version of Islam that now endangers the U.S., Canada, and much of Europe. In a 2004 raid on a Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Virginia, the FBI uncovered a strategic plan to deceive American leaders on the nature of Islam, destroy American Constitutional government by “Civilization Jihad,” and impose Sharia Law on all.

Liberals love to tell us that not all Muslims act like ISIS..Honor killings are done by moderate,regular Muslims and allowed by moderate regular Muslims gov`t officials.Muslims treat all women like ISIS treats them..So,sex slaves,murdering daughters and raping boys must all be part of Islam since moderate,regular Muslims do these deeds and for the most part get away with it.

They forgot to list the Islamists and the globalist teaming up to purchase esrablishment politicians in West - who are only too happy to sell out their countries for personal wealth and the power that goes with it.

Liberals love to tell us that not all Muslims act like ISIS.

They may be right, perhaps 1 percent of Muslims aren't bad. Another 9 percent are idiots who think they aren't bad until something sets them on a path of violence. That leaves 90 percent who want to enslave or kill us. I hope liberals are the first to fall, while the rest of us rid the world of the scum.

One will eventually destroy the other. Not sure who will win.

Jesus, in the end.

Islam is not civilized.

[equaviator]

I don’t believe that an education in Islam, the Koran and the ways of Muslims is entirely necessary unless you’re planning on the possibility of someday having to resort to maintaining the appearance of being a devout enough Muslim to avoid having your head cut off by an Islamic extremist.

Fast approaching? ... How can we give an author credulity when he/she/it doesn't even realize the clash is roiling all around him/her/it? Is this another ‘we still have time to talk about this coming problem that has not arrived yet’ call to pacifism in the now so the invaders can continue to swarm in?

[Frank_2001]

Good read, and one may find confirmation that we are crashing as a society by noting that Donald Trump is being ruthlessly pilloried by maniacal Leftsts for being “concerned” about Muslim immigration and wanting a temporary halt.... In that case, by our contemporary “standards”, Sir William Muir, John Quincy Adams and Theodore Roosevelt, were they alive today, would be in prison!!! The author doesn’t mention Winston Churchill’s comments on Islam, but he’d likely be in the slammer today as well!

It is part of a series.

Part 1: The Foundations of Sharia Law

Part 2: The Foundations of Islam and Jihad

Part 3: Official (Politically Correct) Islam versus the Truth

Part 4: The Foundations of Islamic Reason

Part 5: The Fast-Approaching Clash of Civilizations

Part 6: Islamic Doctrine Governing Women

I found it informative.

One thing that was clarified for me is the Rule of Abrogation.

Paraphrasing "Foundations of Islamic Reason"

In the Koran whatever was said last is true, and the earlier verse is “abrogated” or cancelled.

The earlier Meccan chapters are filled with verses condemning unbelievers to hell, while entreating them to conversion by peaceful means.

The later Medinan chapters are exhortations to force to convert unbelievers, offering the choice of conversion, humiliating subservience and unbearable taxes, or death.

Meccan verses are used to deceive the West that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, but they are abrogated by Medinan verses which justify brutal coercion, sexual assault, atrocity, terrorism, and Jihad.
