Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In it's fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components.
The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.
Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.
When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here's how it works.
As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings.
Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:
Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 15%
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:
Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrases are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:
Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 100%
Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.
'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'
It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos.
There are no national courts nor schools nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large.
The children attend madrases. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.
Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, and Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.
Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book:
Slavery, Terrorism and Islam:
The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat
Islam is evil, created by a nutcase that people in villages in his time ran him out of town and his own family killed him.
In my view of Islam, which I have been describing for the last 44 years (since the "palestinians were invented") the description is biological gunpowder. Three essential ingredients, all of which are necessary or it ceases to be as powerful or as dangerous, indeed it becomes something else.
It is a religion, it is a social system and it is a political system.
In my view, the political component encompasess the legal, economic and military aspects of the culture, the umma.
It is utterly and permanently incompatible with Democracy or any representative form of government.
That's why it can never change, it can only be wiped out completely, or it becomes "something else."
If you read the Hebrew Bible you will see that Judaism is not merely a religion but a 100% life system with legal and military components.
The separation of "religion" from the rest of life is a profound error that we are paying for 2000 years after it was first suggested ("render unto Caesar").
Islam's problem is simply that it's the wrong religion.
Which Jews are practicing this today?
In contrast we have hundreds of millions of Muslims who love Jihad and even more who like what they do. Plus the passive Muslims are pumping out Muslims babies as fast as the militants ones
Demographic warfare is being waged against the Christian natives of Europe. This is as powerful as outright warfare
“If you read the Hebrew Bible you will see that Judaism is not merely a religion but a 100% life system with legal and military components. “
I’m glad someone finally pointed that out.
And why is there an ad for muslim dating on the link you provided, Beckwith?
Good article. BTTT.
If you read the Hebrew Bible you will see that Judaism is not merely a religion but a 100% life system with legal and military components.
Which Jews are practicing this today?
All Orthodox Jews (at least theoretically).
In contrast we have hundreds of millions of Muslims who love Jihad and even more who like what they do. Plus the passive Muslims are pumping out Muslims babies as fast as the militants ones

As I said, I am not defending islam. However, I am defending the ancient pre-Western worldview which islam shares with Judaism, that there is no such thing as "religion" separate from the rest of life. That's all.
Judaism is a covenant with a specific nation rather than a missionary religion, so there it differs from islam (though it is supposed to be missionary for the Noachide Laws). However, theoretically and objectively the world is a Theocracy governed by Halakhah (Mosaic for Jews, Noachide for non-Jews). All history is moving towards the Redemption when this will be made manifest to all.
Thanks,
Islam dictates your every movement in life = even down to exact steps to take when going to the bathroom - or behind a rock or wherever...
It’s called total mind-control, kept active with the obligatory 5 times a day call to Mecca - dropping to the ground and making like a stinkbug.
Most pre-modern religions encompassed culture and government. Your average Christian in the 16th Century for example thought laws against heresy were perfectly good and normal.
I believe though that not all religions are created equal...some are truer than others. I also think God has shown Himself in history—and communicated with humans—and this through the bible and ultimately Jesus Christ.
If you look at the history of Islam, being created in the 7th Century—what was the main religious thing happening then? The most remarkable thing was the fall of paganism to Christianity. Various forms of polytheism were being abandoned in a wholesale manner—and had been at least since the 2nd Century. Scholars estimate by say AD 180, 1/3 of the Roman Empire was Christian... Think about that...by the time of the movie “Gladiator” fully a third of the Empire was believing what began as a very small, monotheistic sect, organized around an executed(and yes, resurrected!) man. Truly remarkable.
The only social/cultural/religious group, before Mohamed, which didn’t quickly embrace the faith of the Christians were—the Jews. That faction that gave Jesus such a hard time, the Pharisees, after the Temple was destroyed in AD 70, became the leading (and really only surviving)faction leading Judaism up into the 19th Century.
Anyway, back the AD 600s... It was a strict law-based monotheism which alone had resisted Christianity—but of course in a small, peaceful, persecuted minority of Judaism. Hence, after Rome fell, what did the conquering Arabs develop...to rival (and make them immune) from their major cultural/religious opponent? A strict, law-based monotheism (or really monadism), of course!
Islam is nothing but a cobbled together imitation of 7th Century Judaism, with many pagan and a few Christian elements thrown in.
Since the author above is largely right—it’s much bigger than a mere religion—it seems impregnable. However, I believe the violence of contemporary Islam is because it is in its death rattle....and will not last the centuries.
As I have posted before....
Islam is not a religion,
It is a ideology based on world domination masquerading as a religion.
No other religion requires total submission or death.
Islam does.!
ISLAM IS TERRORISM BY IT’S VERY NATURE
Although that statement is 100% true, the implication is absurd, in the state of the world today.
Most major religions have the potential to be totalitarian, but it all hinges on the interpretation of men of varying degrees of power and mental health; therein lies the potential for conversion into "something else."
We can all rest assured that if the Catholics, or Quakers or Calvinists suddenly decide to murder and destroy others worldwide, every day, they would be vilified, opposed and exterminated as surely as the muslims currently are, justifiably so.
Fortunately, the spread of any bad culture, religion-based or otherwise, cannot develop as it did in the 7th to 10th centuries, where local genocide happened mostly unseen and unknown by the world at large, and slowly ate its way into the civilized world.
Today, with instant world-wide communications and travel, that just can't happen.
Today, too many truly free societies exist, large enough, powerful enough, and fierce enough to protect their hard-earned freedoms to prevent any repetition of ancient history.
Piss off enough of the civilized world long enough, and the extermination of islam will fierce, swift, and merciless; and I hope permanent.
Good riddance!
All you say is true.
Just the way it has come out in history is that Islam has had Islamic Caliphates based on military force subjugation and conquest for centuries. While the Jews have lacked Jewish military kingdoms for most of their existence. And the ones they had were tiny compared to the Muslims
Not enough. & that's the main reason we are in this mess.
