Islam is Not a Religion: Rather, it is a political ideology—the veil of “religion” is just a cover.

What is Islam? To answer that question, it’s more important to know what Islam isn’t. Islam is not a religion. It is an authoritarian, political ideology that forcibly imposes itself on all aspects of any society unfortunate enough to be under its yoke.

Islam demands complete subjugation by its adherents. Under Islam, there is no democracy, there is no free speech, no freedom of religion, no freedom of the press, no minority rights, and there’s no right to love whoever you desire. Islam allows no dissent. It is a complete and total way of life that glorifies oppression, slavery, and death. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, cultural, and military components. The religious component is the veil that hides the dangers of its all-encompassing ideology.

Islam was founded in the 7th century by the Prophet Mohammed. From its beginnings, Islam never attempted or bothered to convert “non-believers” by friendly persuasion. Instead, Islam converted non-believers by conquest and forcible conversion, or you were slaughtered. By the mid-8th century, Islam had conquered all the lands from the Indus River, in the east, across North Africa to the Iberian Peninsula, in the west. During that period of conquest, if subjects didn’t convert to Islam, they were put to the sword.

To this day, most of those lands are still under the control of Islam. There are few exceptions: Spain and Portugal, which during the 15th century, managed to free themselves from the scourges of Islam, and Israel.

Modern day Islam is just as oppressive and dangerous as was 8th century Islam. That’s because culturally, Islam still enforces the same tenets they did 1,200 years ago. What are some of those tenets, practices, and ways of life?

Islam is a religion and a way of organizing society and a system of laws and a form of government and a call to action.

Extra credit if you know what the call to action is.

It’s both religion and political ideology. While Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world,” Allah commands them to conquer the world. They are the worst type of ideologues… driven by religious fervor in their political aspirations.

This is the world-wide problem of Islam. Their religion has always been spread by the doctrine of “my god can beat up your god.” If they win, you must convert because their god is mightier. That is the meaning behind “Allahu akbar!” It isn’t just “god is great”, it’s “our god is greater”.

Whether or not they all agree with or even like what Hamas is doing, defeat is not an option. When they are losing, they call for hudna—ceasefire. Never surrender. They can have setbacks but not defeat. Picture Baghdad Bob. Land that was EVER under Islamic control will be again—by holy writ. They can never give up. The very existence of Israel is a theological problem for them.

What that also means is that Europe is next. Once they deal with Israel, they will get to work reconquering their prior possessions in Europe… and then adding to them.

After Europe is the rest of the world. Their religious obligation is to turn Dar Al Harb (the world at war) into Dar Al Islam (the world submitted). Islam doesn’t mean “peace”, it means “submission”. It doesn’t matter if they are an extremist or moderate, they have the same goal.

Will there be peace when the world submits? Of course not. They will fight among themselves for control. They are a murderous ideology and their master is a murderer from the beginning.

My theory is that the Biblical antichrist is not an individual person - it’s the personification of Islam. What is more anti-Christ than Islam?

It is a religion alright, it came directly from the pit of h3ll. We are not allowed to state that fact aloud, though.

I’ve always thought of Islam as a murderous cult, but this analysis will do just as good. For more than a thousand years it has been the most deadly enemy of Western Civilization, with constant, ceaseless bloody battles to try to stop them. Now, the political left is voluntarily bringing these murderers here. It is lunacy in the extreme.
Nobody remembers 9-11-2001?. Nobody remembers the Achille Lauro and Mr Klinghoffer? The attack on the World Trade Center in ‘93? The 241 USMC dead from the Marine Barracks in Beirut in the early 1980s? Black Hawk Down in the early 1990s? How about October 7th, 2023 in Israel? Black September at the Olympics in 1972? The Boston Marathon bombing?
This is a very, very brief list of past and recent examples of these nutcases hatred for America, Europe, Israel, Christians and Jews, in fact anything that is not Islamic. They are quite literally insane, and ready to murder anybody who disagrees with them.
It took the Spanish 700 years to drive them out of Spain. The Eastern Roman Empire, and its capital city Constantinople fell to the Islamic Turks in May of 1453, and they’re still there, controlling the southeastern tip of Europe.
It’s obvious that the international political left, the folks that Imposter Biden calls the Liberal World Order, is racing in a headlong rush to destroy Western Civilization. Apparently their plan is to replace our western cultures with something else by destroying us from within.
Could it be Marxism, in combination with Islam, the two most deadly ideologies ever conceived?

Islam is Not a Religion: Rather, it is a political ideology—the veil of “religion” is just a cover.

And Marxism is not a Political Ideology: Rather, it is religion —the veil of “a political ideology” is just a cover.

You can argue both and quite possibly be right.

This showed up on my radar, when I fell asleep during a VDH interview, it was on when I woke up. After spending 13 years in KSA, I thought I had learned it all...apparently NOT!

According to this, the Koran/Qur’an was not codified until the 1960’s and the current version was written in 1024.

RE: And Marxism is not a Political Ideology: Rather, it is religion

Does Marxism have a being that they worship? I thought the ideology is intrinsically atheistic.

Islam is an entire way of life.

Religion, law, culture, economics, war, everything in one.

Every non Muslim should read a true copy to understand what we are facing.

Don't bother with any printed translation since the 1950s or so. They have been altered to make Islam look like a "religion of peace".

IMHO, the best translation is for free here:

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/16955

This is a link to a free book on Gutenberg.org, three translations by 3 Imams of the Holy Quran side by side.

The state.

And if you say that it is too nebulous remember that Buddhism essentially worships nothingness and Shintoism worships the "spirit of the ancestors".

You do not need to have a supreme being, just something that you have elevated to the point of godhood.

It’s an entire system of law, finances, justice, religion, everything. It controls every aspect of a Muslim’s life.

That’s why the folks at the top, the Ayatollahs, etc love populations that can’t read or write. They can spew their BS and the people have no choice but to believe them. All while they rake in billions and live lavish lifestyles.

A friend is a flight attendant for one of the major airlines and did the trip from Riyad to the states a few times. They would get on wearing their muslim garb, take it off as soon as they got to their set in Business class and then order some whiskey. Every bit of that “religion” is fraudulent.

What happened on Hill 875 Vietnam?
November 1, 1967 - November 30 1967
I think it was described as “The Third Circle of Hell”.
