Good post, brownsfan! Here is my take:
We are at war with Islam, whether we want to be or not!
I fully believe that Islam has declared war on Western Civilization. I see nothing in the news to disabuse me of that notion. And, as far as I am concerned, Westerners are generally oblivious to it, despite almost continuous repeated attacks against non-Moslems by Moslems, worldwide.
You will note, despite the recent massacre in New Zealand, that there are very few attacks by non-Moslems against Moslems! Worldwide, Moslems are the ones doing the killing, not non-Moslems.
HST, there MAY be some “good” Moslems, but we don’t have any way of knowing who they are. Moslems are permitted (ENCOURAGED) – to practice “Taqiyya” (Moslem scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to “smooth over differences” or “gain the upper-hand over an enemy”) – to lie to non-Moslems. How can we EVER believe a Moslem?
I am not “Islamophobic!”
I do not have an unreasonable fear of Islam.
I do, however, believe that Islam represents a Clear and Present Danger to ALL non-Moslems, and is a danger to many Moslems – the Sunni vs Shia “Hatfield and McCoy Feud” for example, which has been on-going since Mohammed died in 632 AD! – is a prime example of that.
We Westerners need to understand that Islam’s growth has been through two primary methods – war and immigration – “hijra.” There is a good article about it at https://www.cspii.org/blog/immigration-islamic-doctrine-and-history/.
I am not some whack job white supremacist – I believe we have a Moslem problem, and I believe we are not properly addressing it, at our considerable peril, either as a country or as a civilization.
“I am not some whack job white supremacist – I believe we have a Moslem problem, and I believe we are not properly addressing it, at our considerable peril, either as a country or as a civilization.”
After 9/11 I educated myself regarding islam, and I couldn’t agree with you more.
Most Americans don’t notice, and don’t care, they’re consumed with some tripe on twitter, or what new smart phone they think they need.
And of those of us who notice, half of those are liberals who want to virtue signal by welcoming muslims, regardless of what actions muslims take, or what history has taught us.
Those of us who notice, and understand the threat, we are a minority. muslims have never peacefully coexisted with another religion anywhere. Look at what history teaches us, look at what great minds like Churchill have said about muslims.
You make a good point about good ones. There are 1.5 billion muslims in the world, it’s not possible they’re all bad. And the good ones just make the war that much more difficult to get others to recognize.
The West, Christian and otherwise, has been at war with Islam for the better part of 1,400 years. While there have been a few “cease fires” and periods when it was more of a cold war, it was war nonetheless. The gay, open-minded, progressive and promiscuous will assert that those of us who insist that we’re at war are bigots, “Islamophobes”, “racist” (too stupid to realize that Islam isn’t a race), etc., not realizing that they will be the first to go.
