Why Islam is Violent - Islamic civilization is unstable and unsustainable

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.

Islamic violence is nearly impossible to deny. But why is Islam violent? The usual answer is to point to Koranic verses calling for the conquest and subjugation of non-Muslims. That certainly covers the theological basis for Islamic violence. But it fails to explain why Muslims continue to practice it. Even against each other. Violence has become the defining form of Islamic exceptionalism.

Optimists speak of reforming Islam. But such reforms had over a thousand years in which to take place.

Islam is an ideology. Its violence is a strategy. That strategy fit the needs of Mohammed. Mohammed chose to use force to spread his ideology. He needed to recruit fighters so he preached the inferiority of non-Muslims, the obligation for Muslims to conquer non-Muslims and the right of his fighters to seize the property and wives of non-Muslims as incentive for them to join his fight. Furthermore he even promised them that if they should fall in battle, they would receive loot and women in paradise.

The strategy was barbarous, but quite effective. Mohammed had created a new super-tribe in a tribal society. The tribe of Islam united different groups in a mission of conquest. The Islamic religion allowed the varying clans to be more effective and ambitious than their victims. Within a surprisingly short amount of time the chain of conquests made Islam into a world religion. The most effective Islamic conquerors could not only claim vast territories, carving up civilization into fiefdoms, but they could prepare their sons and grandsons to continue the chain of conquests.

Islamic violence - It's the nature of the beast.

It's an Islamic thing. You wouldn't understand. </sarc>

[Right Wing Assault]

“Muslim terrorists don’t kill people, ‘assault’ rifles kill people.”

Do I really need </sarc>?

[mjp]

But why is Islam violent?

compelling future of world domination + ends justify the means + might makes right

Oxymoron alert:

If it’s islamic, it’s not civilized.

If it’s civilized, it’s not islamic.

Nazism over rode the state of Germany and frankly had achieved the level of religious fanaticism. We had to wipe it out. Same for militarism in Japan, we had to wipe it out. We did to both. Why are we blind to fact we need wipe this off the face of the earth, as one would try to wipe out a disease. Small Pox gone. Polio almost gone. I wait for the day the Islam meets the same fate.

Just into the MSNBC newsroom – this image of the Orlando perpetrator found in a recent food ad for islam approved meals during ramalamadingdong. The White House has just announced that this individual was a Trump supporter. President Obama has cancelled his golf game for today and will immediately fly to Florida to console the shooter's family.

UNTIL WE KNOCK OFF THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS CRAP AND DEAL WITH THE “MUSLIM THING”, HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS MORE OF US WILL DIE!!!

“Muslim terrorists don’t kill people, ‘assault’ rifles kill people.”

The invention and use of the term 'assault rifle' or 'assault weapon' is a whole book full of condemnation of those evil things. A rifle is a rifle, but an assault rifle is obviously an evil rifle.

But it fails to explain why Muslims continue to practice it. Even against each other. Violence has become the defining form of Islamic exceptionalism.

The reason the fundamentalists kill other so-called Muslims is because they believe the so-called Muslims are heretics and apostates, and won't practice Islam the way Allah and Muhammad want it practiced.

The fundamental Muslims are in a constant Jihad against us Kafirs, and other Muslims are sitting on the sidelines and making all kinds of excuses for not getting our Kafir blood on their hands.
Or worse these traitorous Muslims collaborate with us hated Kafirs.
Two outstanding examples of Infidel collaborators are Al Sisi in Egypt, and King Abdullah in Jordan. Fortunately for us there are more. -Tom

[Signalman]

And why is Obama allowing thousands of them into this country?

[bert]

The attack was on sin

Sinners were killed

Jihad against the west is based on the hatred of what is considered sinful

[ronnie raygun]

Amazing how our politicians are hell bent on forcing us to accept this death cult

[jmacusa]

Islam sanctions incest. When you marry your sister or your cousin this is what you end up with.

“Islamic.” “Civilization.” A contradiction in terms.

[Carry me back]

All non Muslims are considered evil.

[Paine in the Neck]

I was in the midst of reading David Pryce-Jones' The Closed Circle when 9/11 occurred. How I wish that the Bushes had read it before trying to remake the Middle East. The tribal mentality that Greenfield describes is totally incompatible with modern society.

1. Me against my brother;

2. My brother and I against our father;

3. My family against our cousins;

4. My extended family against the tribe;

5. Our tribe against the other;

6. Our sect against the other;

7. Islam against all;

8. GOTO 1.

Unsustainable?

Right now they are on track to take over western Europe through migration and breeding patterns.

Unsustainable? Sadly they are very sustainable and spreading.

[mountainlion]

Islam has been fighting civilization for over 1000 years. Islam fighting is sustainable but peace is not.

[Secret Agent Man]

More to it than that.

All kaffir are sinful, and killing kaffir is not a crime especially doing jihad in ramadan.

And it could be for anything any of them considers sinful and doesnt like. They could go to a beach and open fire.

[Don Corleone]

Islamic civilization is unstable and unsustainable

Islamic civilization is an oxymoron.
