Spencer echoes Lewis when he elaborates that “all the mainstream sects and schools of Islamic jurisprudence teach as a matter of faith that Islam is intrinsically political and that Muslims must wage war against unbelievers and subjugate them under the rule of Islamic law.” The fact that most Muslims do not engage in violent jihad, whether out of practicality, indifference, or what have you, does not change what Islamic doctrine says. Nor does it mean these Muslims are “rejecting” that mandate. They are ignoring it.
Moreover, as I’ve noted on several occasions, the point of jihad is to spread sharia, the Islamic legal system whose installation is the necessary precondition to creating an Islamic society. That need not be done by violent means. In fact, the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s most influential Islamist organization, maintains that America and Europe will be “conquered” not by violence but by dawa – the proselytism of Islam by non-violent (or, more accurate, pre-violent) means, such as infiltration of our institutions. Spencer calls this phenomenon “stealth jihad.”

Excellent article! I wish I could get my lefty family to read it. They’ve taken the lame-stream view that Muslims are just a poor oppressed minority in this country with no evil intent.
Great read, couldn’t have said it better myself.
The article backs that up--that the vast majority do have no evil intent. However THE RELIGION (or ideology) in it's most authentic form is the problem--locking otherwise peace-loving people into a fanatic-favoring totalitarian system.
I was stunned to learn for example, that detailed (and antiquated) toilet-habits are demanded by Sharia. Even Communism is not THAT totalitarian!
A key idea, a simple truth, to Islam is that it's primary goal is NOT to convert the world to it's religion (unlike Christianity or other religions), rather, to subjugate the world politically--as after physical subjugation by Islamic law been the only condition in which the religion of Islam flourishes.
What a sad, poor, evil religion that requires force and intimidation to grow.
If you believe in a philosophy that is demonstrably evil, and you want to encourage the spread of that philosophy, then your intent is evil. The same goes for socialism as for Islam - however benign it may appear, the end is evil.
“...oppressed minority in this country with no evil intent.”
.
The evil intent will show after Islam has conquered the country.
Won’t happen, you say? I don’t see any resistance against Islam’s unrelenting assault on American society but only the desire to give it privileged status.
“Al Queda” and the like - all their clones - are nothing other than the “violent” wing of the same fundamentalist Islamists as the Wahabi, the Iranian Mullahs, founding clerics of Hamas and Hezbollah, and supposed moderates like CAIR.
Their core objectives are the same and it’s not that they actually oppose the means used by their fellow violent, or non-violent brethren - as the case may be, its only that that’s not their role in the process.
It’s a giant global, geopolitical game of bad cop, goo cop.

The latter, Krauthammer insists, is “an ideology of a small minority which holds that the essence of Islam is jihad, conquest, forcing people into accepting a certain very narrow interpretation [of Islam].”
Krauthammer can't be very smart or "respected," if 240,000,000 primitives bent on mass murder is a "small minority."
And those are just the 20% that would welcome the opportunity to exercise the direct option if available.
"There are no parliaments or representative assemblies of any kind, no councils or communes, no chambers of nobility or estates, no municipalities in the history of Islam; nothing but the sovereign power, to which the subject owed complete and unwavering obedience as a religious duty imposed by the Holy Law. . . . For the last thousand years, the political thinking of Islam has been dominated by such maxims as “tyranny is better than anarchy,” and “whose power is established, obedience to him is incumbent.”
Bernard Lewis Essay, 1954, International Affairs
Don't be stunned. Be warned. Just do not under any circumstances attempt to use the facilities after a friendly son of Muhammed has done so just before prayer time. Just don't, OK?
In re use of the toilet: the sura advising against micturation whilst standing barefoot on a cold tile floor is actually sort of a good one.
Q'uran is also replete with camel breeding tips.
