The West is in denial.
We are consumed by academic and social theories in equality, secularism, and globalism.
A culture like Islam which is entirely organized around religion is outside our paradigm.
—It’s historical, Islam has always been conquering and oppressing since it’s creation.
—It’s doctrinal, written in the Koran and Hadith.
—It’s in their opinion polls, their public openly states what they believe.
—It’s what many of their religious and political leaders openly state.
—It’s what you see in their actions where they are a majority in how they treat other religions, the laws they begin to adopt, etc.
Where you have Muslims, you see this in the most conservative (Russia) or liberal (Netherlands) western society, may it be majority Hindu, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Shinto, or Zoroastrian, may it be wealthy or poor.
***At some point, a reasonable person asks themselves, “is this really me, or is it them?”***
But we aren’t reasonable. We are guided by very powerful beliefs in some modern social theories that are secular in nature, assume secularism is the norm, approach all cultures as equal, and believe that globalism is an ideal we should be working towards.
So we rewrite history in our movies, making them into the victims and the evil Christian crusaders into the culprits: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320661/ We talk about some “Religion Of Peace,” when in reality Islam literally means “submission,” something very different than peace.
***Islam is a religion where the more devout the individual, the greater threat they pose.***
So if you're a young person in the West, Islam is looking really good. This is why Islam is attracting converts.
