Interesting bit of history. Thanks.
Spain withdrew troops first. They were still attacked.
Islamization of a society begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for discriminatory religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other manifestations tend to infiltrate, eroding and contaminating the culture.
As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize among other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Moslems approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing genocide), use of Sharia law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels
After 80%, there is daily intimidation and violent jihad, some state-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Islam.
100% supposedly ushers in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. There is supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word
Unfortunately, peace is never achieved! As in the 100% states above, the most radical Muslims intimidate, spew hatred, violate women and children, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, using rationalizations and corruptions of every basic human decency. Whether in mutilating women or raping young boys, they invoke the name of religion for authority. One only need to recall the killing of innocent female children in Saudi Arabia by religious police, or the atrocities of the Taliban in order to realize that we are in a war where our enemies do not fight by the rules governing civilized nations.
you mean the moops.
"I’ll be willing to bet that there’s actually a tipping point when a minority of the population is Islamic in which the mass of believers starts undermining the culture and political structure of the host country."
There is a youtube video on exactly this subject. I'll see if I can find it.
Spain 4% muslim
America 1% muslim
Per CIA Fact Book 2007
Thank you, although it really has raised the hair on the back of my neck.
Mine too...
The death penalty for adultery under sharia applies equally to men.
However, in practice it generally applies only to a man who has relations with another man's wife. IOW, the offense for which he is executed is against the other man, not his own wife, about which nobody cares.
Thanks!
“They are such a peaceful people, no?”
