Outside of our White House, I don't often see Islamic values in the West. Yet.

My dear friend Ali Sina mentioned in his most recent article that a Muslim professor, Hossein Askari, believes that Western nations lead the World in “Islamic values” and that most Muslim nations practice the least Islamic values. I have heard such nonsense before from some Muslims, some of whom were my relatives. I will never forget the strange look on my Christian American husband’s face when an elderly Muslim man visiting from Egypt told him: “You are such a fine young man, you have the character of a true Muslim.”
It is not unusual for Muslims to describe non-Muslims whom they perceive as good as having “Islamic values.” Many Christians in Egypt have to suffer hearing comments by Muslims such as: “You are so good, you must convert to Islam, you have the character of a true Muslim.”
How can educated Muslims professors make ridiculous claims like that Ireland “leads the world in Islamic values as Muslim states lag”? Islamic logic, in that case, says, if Irish people have noses, eyes, arms and legs like Muslims then they must be Muslim. This twisted logic wants to hide the truth: that many Muslims no longer want to live under Islamic values, but since that is considered apostasy in Islam, the only way out is to claim life in the land of the Great Satan is really equal to living the true Islamic life.
Muslims are trained to adjust reality to Islamic propaganda; thus everything good must come from Islam and everything bad comes from the Kafir non-believer. So it is Islamic logic to believe that if Christians are good then they must be Muslim, but they just don’t know it yet.
The Muslim dilemma about the West gets more complicated when over 70% of Muslim youth are desperately trying to leave the Muslim world to immigrate to Western nations. Many Muslims are stunned, disappointing and filled with envy when they compare infidel and Islamic nations and discover that infidels have achieved what Muslims could only dream of. Such an awakening by Muslims flies against the Islamic propaganda that has indoctrinated generations into believing that Islam is the solution.
So if Islam is the solution, how come Muslims are happier in the West? Simple: Muslims discovered what the West failed to understand about their own values; According to Muslims, it is Islamic values — so “Allahu Akbar” anyway.
Islam has trained the Islamic mind to solve any contradictions with the goal of making sure that Islam looks good at any cost. In other words, reality has to adjust to Islamic teachings. Muslims must never admit that Western success is attributed to the Judeo-Christian value system. That is why Muslim professors on American college campuses claim that Western cultural success is due to Islamic and not Biblical values, and that the US Constitution is Sharia compliant.
This is nothing new for Islam, Mohammed himself claimed that Christianity and Judaism, which preceded Islam by thousands of years, are in fact Islam, but have just been corrupted. Mohammed started by linking himself to the Abrahamic line in order to get legitimacy and after that he discredited the Jews and Christians as apes, pigs and enemies of Allah. Mohammed taught his followers that Abraham, Jesus, Moses etc., all are in fact Muslims and have Islamic values.
Because of Islamic Sharia’s severe and humiliating punishments, Muslims had to mold their thinking to never venture outside the Islamic mental box. Muslims who are brave enough to think critically for themselves will easily find Islamic values, summed up in Sharia, to be the antithesis of Biblical values.
Mr. Askari, like many devout Muslims, refuses to judge Islam by its fruits that are exploding all around the world. Instead of graciously giving credit where it is due — to the fruits of the Bible — he chose to slap Western culture in the face by shamelessly teaching that Western nations’ success is due to Islamic values. Amazing, that sounds exactly like Mohammed.
This line of thought fits perfectly with the jihadists who are hell bent on violently converting the West to Islam. But the smart stealth jihadist Muslims choose to leave violent jihad to others, and would rather tell the American people that everything good is Islamic and that the corrupted values of the Bible could not have resulted in the fruits of Western success.
Askari probably feels that the poor Western citizens just don’t know what Islam already knows, but are unaware that the West is practicing Islamic values more than Muslims themselves.
Most Muslims are unaware that it is Muslim culture that heavily borrowed from the Bible. Muslims often say “don’t go to bed angry” but are unaware that this is a Biblical value and not a Quranic value. They say “Salamu Alaykum” and respond by saying “Alaykum El Salam” but are unaware that they have borrowed this from Jews’ “Shalom Aleikhem” and the response “Aleikhem Shalom.” They say that Islam is a religion of peace when in fact Islam advocates war and relentlessly urges its followers to die in war while killing the enemies of their Allah.
The so called “moderate Muslims” who advocate that the US Constitution is Sharia compliant, are dangerous because they are stealth jihadists who have no loyalty to the US Constitution and what America is all about. Their loyalty is to the Islamic agenda of the establishment of the Khalifate. The religion of Mohammed has produced millions of people who think like Askari who are constantly struggling with a severe case of ethnocentrism.
Western nations so far have based their way of life on Judeo-Christian values of the Bible; a book outlawed by Islam under penalty of death. It is time for American college campuses to get rid of Muslim teachers who under the guise of research are advocating Islam 101.
This is interesting. Maybe we could sell some of our “multicultural elites” on Christian values if we just told them they were Islamic values.
Any scripture can be distorted, but at least the basic Judeo-Christian rules were carved in stone.
Umm, Arabic and Hebrew are closely related languages. This greeting need not be borrowed, as it could instead be drawn from a common stock.
Does Italian "borrow" from French, or are they both derived from Latin, explaining similarities quite well.
Islam still is sitting in a hut with one hand up their rear ends while the other sharpens a blade all the while killing others who do not think like them. They are Tribal Blood cults and they must be treated as such and not called the “Religion of Peace”.
Not necessarily disagreeing, but it's remarkable how much this aligns with similar claims about Catholics being ultimately loyal to the Pope for most of American history.
I have no doubt such Muslims exist. To claim that therefore all moderate Muslims are stealth jihadists is ludicrous.
Outside of our White House, I don't often see Islamic values in the West. Yet.
Calling Islam "the Religion of Peace" is like calling Baltimore "the city that reads" or calling New jersey "the Garden State". The ironic names act as a warning to anyone with a functioning brain, so only democrats are fooled.

We are rapidly approaching a time when we are going to have to call a Spade a Spade and speak the truth before the lies and swarming Arab-Persian Islamic mongrels stampede us all. The only option left in Iraq right now are 70 B-52s Carpet Bombing the ISIS (and other) sites...
There is also an English translation. How often do we say “Peace be upon you,” or “Upon you be peace?” That is not our custom. It’s a Jewish custom, which the muslims borrowed.
Bearded savage “values” are not compatible with those of normal, civilized people.
“Bearded savage “values” are not compatible with those of normal, civilized people.”
The West is as devoid of values at this point; countries that have abortion-on-demand and “gay marriage” can’t criticize countries with polygamy and wife-beating.
The universalism of Islam, in its all-embracing creed, is imposed on the be- lievers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political, if not strictly military. . . . The Jihad, accordingly, may be stated as a doctrine of a permanent state of war, not continuous fighting.”— Majid Khadduri; The Quranic Concept of War
While Islam has its writings, its values result in the violence of Muslims against “infidels”.
“By their fruits ye shall know them.”
“Islam has trained the Islamic mind to solve any contradictions with the goal of making sure that Islam looks good at any cost. In other words, reality has to adjust to Islamic teachings.”
Wow. The exact same thing is true of Dems/liberals/progressives/Marxists/media!
“Liberals/progressives have trained the liberal/progressive mind to solve any contradictions with the goal of making sure that liberalism/progressivism looks good at any cost. In other words, reality has to adjust to liberal/progressive teachings.”
Compare the behaviour of extreme muslims to extreme Christians.
Extreme Christians spread love, forgive their enemies, pray for those who persecute them, etc.
The extremes are polar opposite. I therefore conclude that islam is of anti-Christ.
Steyn's one smart man... we ARE at war with Islamic beliefs, values and cultures. But NOT necessarily with every individual who happens to have been born muslim. It's an important distinction.
