In the era when Communism was the big global threat, we used to be able to say, with impunity, that Marxism could exist without Communism but Communism would not exist without Marx; that fellow travellers in the West who purposefully infiltrated key political institutions in the service of the Communist revolution were a grave threat to democracy; and that informing the public about their methods was a civic duty, not hate speech against socialists.

Today it is the reverse. Islamism is the gravest global threat, but one is pilloried for saying the obvious: there can be an Islam without Islamism, but no Islamism without Islam. ...

From the article:

Islam is the world’s fastest-growing religion, with 1.6 billion Muslims today, and set to surpass Christianity in numbers within the century. So even though the core jihadists are a tiny percentage of the whole, there are plenty of them – up to 200,000 in the Islamic State alone, with many hundreds of thousands in other terrorist groups.

All muslims are not jihadists, but all jihadists are muslim.

Moslems are jihadists, believers in jihad at least, insofar as they are Moslems. At any given moment most Moslems are not, however, engaged in jihad.

The only sane policy for civilization imho: First demand that other religions be protected in all Muslim nations. Second, the next time we must invade a Muslim country, undertake an aggressive program to outlaw Islam and replace it with other religions.

If the little perverts are not doing the jihadi dance then they ain’t following their sick religion and pedophile prophet. As for their self-loathing women, they should eschew islam like a yeast infection.

According to the Koran, they’re all jihadists. And they’re all commanded to kill Jews, Christians and all non-Muslims.

1,500,000,000 X 20% = number of jihadis & jihadis in waiting & potential jihadis.

1,500,000,000 X 80% = number of muslims supporting jihadis either directly or indirectly through Islamic taxes.

It would be worth your collective while to read the Feb. 2016 issue of IMPRIMIS the Hillsdale College free newsletter. Andrew McCarthy J.D. gives an excellent exposition on the Islamic religion and what it means to Western civilization. Not what you would find in the MSM for certain.

Yes, the vast majority are jihadists. Jihad is not just setting off bombs or stabbing people. Jihad is required of every muslim and can be carried out through many forms: warfare, terrorism, economic pressure (i.e. Saudi Arabia’s oil glut torpedo), political action, legal action (e.g. using our human rights laws to confront anyone who dares criticize islam), proselytizing, propaganda, indoctrination of children. A family that teaches their children to hate Jews, Christians and assorted infidels, is as dangerous as the guy wearing the suicide vest, because they are breeding the next wave of violent jihadists.

I have no trouble believing that the majority of the world’s moslems neither participate in,nor support,terrorist acts.But nobody will ever convince me that a *very* noticeable percentage don’t do one or the other.

Someone said that moderate Muslims are the weeds who hide terrorists among them. If true, are we not in danger?

Most Muslims are not active jihadists, but I do believe that most Muslims are sympathetic, if not outright supporters of the more militant elements. FBI investigators have complained that almost no one in a Muslim community will offer even the slightest help in ferreting out the terrorists that operate in that community. Now, some of it may be fear, but, it is my gut belief that they support them much more than the authorities like to acknowledge.

Hand grenades don’t explode until the pin is pulled and the safety lever is released. But as with Muslims and Sudden Jihad Syndrome, the potential is always there.

The evil jihadi muslims and their supporters and enablers are giving the other .01% a bad name.

Those who aren’t Jihadists support the ones who are.

All Muslims support a jihadist ideology, which is what Islam is.
