For 1,000 years, 632-1683, militant Islam spread from Arabia through Spain and into France, where they were defeated in 732 at Tours, and toward China, where they were stopped by the Mongols, and then to Vienna (twice), where they were defeated finally in 1683. They also made it into India and Indonesia, where they remain today, although most left India for West Pakistan and East Pakistan (Bangladesh) in 1947.
Islam since 1683 failed to take any land from others, and failed to make any significant advances in science, medicine, literature. music, architecture or art. Almost all their advances, such as they were, occurred before the 1600s. Their countries were unable to manufacture the simplest machines. Their agricultural practices were medieval. Only the discovery of oil gave them any wealth, and they still can't operate their oilfields without the West.
Since WWII, many Muslims have fled repressive regimes ruled by the Mullahs to find a better life in the West. Unfortunately for them - and for us - they brought with them the cause of their failure - their religion. Now, as their birth rates soar, and they gain in numbers and political strength, they are beginning to demand that the West conform to their customs, traditions, and religious law, all of which contradict with the customs, traditions, and laws of the West.
Many in the West now preach tolerance, and ask us to submit to the demands of the Muslims. To appease them. They are wrong.
NOW IS THE TIME TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE MUSLIMS IN THE WEST.
"You came to our countries because you were fleeing repression and a medieval culture which prevented you from enjoying the advances of the West.
"Now, some of your number are beginning to demand that we conform to your customs, traditions, and laws.
"We refuse. We will not to conform, and instead demand that you conform to our customs, traditions, and laws, or leave.
"You may practice your religion, and your customs and traditions, but only within our laws, and only to the extent that they do not conflict with our laws. Sharia is forbidden in our countries.
"You are forbidden to engage in bigamy or slavery. You are forbidden to deny our rights to your women.
"You will conform. You will swear allegiance to our countries, or you will be deported to any land that will accept you.
"Our demands are not negotiable. Lawbreakers will be imprisoned until deported."
NOW IS THE TIME. IF WE VALUE OUR FREEDOM, WE HAD BETTER DEMAND THAT THE MUSLIMS IN OUR COUNTRIES ASSIMILATE, OR LEAVE. NOW.
interesting site they quote.
"As a result of the teachings of Islam, slavery was almost completely eradicated from many areas of the Muslim world, peacefully and without bloodshed."
Why those mulims' are so gentle and peaceful.
bump
You're welcome! I'm sure the acronym will be extended again. To be fair and balanced, I think the short-form should be 'TROPALAB' -- The Religion of Peace And Love and Beheadings.'
New meaning for WWW. It means the (WEST WILL WIN.)
And how about WWM.this means the ( WEST WITHOUT MUSLIMS.)
Also WMD- Western Muslims Departed.
The longest journey starts with but one step.
What you call hot air is what others might say is a call to action, an alarm bell, telling those who are sitting on the fence that the fence is on fire.
What hysteria?
I hope that is not news to you, but if it is, you need to do more freepin'.
Picking up your thread of thought. The other day I was blogging about a case in Iran where a woman received 74 lashes for not wearing her hijab properly. Just for grins I went over to the National Org of Women website and did a search on hijab - there were a total of three articles, all from 2003 and all of them were bemoaning the dirty looks women wearing the hijab/chador/burka received from the mean people in the US.
Poor widdle muswims...
Of course, there were a ton of articles about boycotting Walmart for not providing the morning after pill. OAN - Hillary Clinton has returned the Walmart donation to her campaign.
Feminists = hypocritical beyotches. IMHO.
Yeah. Saudi finally outlawed slavery in 1974...
The source of the koran is when mohammad heard voices in a cave.
Real Prophets hear God on mountain tops, not in holes in the ground.
Kinda like liberals. They screwed up Calif, then Oregon & Washington, and now they are working on Montana.
After the 3rd nuke attack our valiant State Department will reluctantly announce that "your activities are just not acceptable and should stop as soon as possible"! well wait a minute, they probably would delete the exclamation mark, no point in being overbearing.
Well said! the time is now!
I'm sorry, should have been more specific. The "cartoon jihad" and the whole furor involved - on both sides. Don't get me wrong- these people have thin skin and are just behaving very sillily, like little children who have been called a name and who don't know how to respond to name calling like adults.
My prefered response, from all nations, would be to recognize their actions as those of little children and admonish them accordingly - pointing out to them where and how they have gone wrong. Beginning with their mis-interpretation, in a literal way, of the Koran.
This would, of course, require that a correct "psychological" (as opposed to literal) interpretation of the Koran be known and understood by those who can speak directly to these children, setting them upon the correct path.
Ergo I'm not optimistic, but I'm not going to get emotional over something that's out of my direct control. That's all I meant.
I hope you change your mind when things get really hot. But by then it may be too late.
Damned little is in one's direct control. But you can write letters to the politicians who are falling for this multicultural crap and you can vote. That's enough... for now.
