... Sheikh Al-Qaradhawi qualified his statement: "I maintain that the conquest this time will not be by the sword but by preaching and ideology..."(2)By preaching and ideology the sheik means demographic vitality and massive immigration. And what with the current generation of wise and beneficent European elites, the sheikh is probably right.
Yet another and even clearer example of the intolerance these (presumably Wahabi) clerics have towards even their fellow Muslims. Turkey is still Muslim, just one with a secular government, yet these clerics are calling for its RECONQUEST and resumption of a theological state. Islam seems to be a genuine religion of peace alright, the peace of the grave for any who disagree with the clerics!
In a rather fascinating book I'm reading, "The Arab Mind" by Raphael Patai, the author points out that to the Arab, er, mind, the making of a statement such as this is almost the equivalent of it actually being so. The means by which he comes to this conclusion is a bit involved -- I'm not going to repeat it -- but it quite neatly accomodates and explains all the assertions and even blatantly outright lies I've seen from such as this.
If the Euro weeny men will follow al Islam, however, they will all start having 8 or 10 kids again like they did back when we had to import all the surplus Germans and Dutch and Norwegians and so on...
If they start with the French, I'll contribute BIG to their cause.
Europe? Yeah, I believe it, also. They've already got quite a beachhead.
I worry about the fact that a civilizational Third World War is in the offing, and that there's not much we can do about it.
But I do not worry about the outcome.
See, the Jihadists are not schooled in Aristotelian moderation, that form of civilizational survival that runs throughout Christian civilization. Nosireebob! How can you be moderate in thought and action when the Koranic texts give you licensce to go kill the Christian and turn the Jew into a lampshade?
Well, okay, that's what the mullah down at the madrass said, so it must be true...
Can you all see how they are going to overreach? If Allah tells them to defend the Faith against all comers, then they have to take on the Jews AND the Crusaders. Plus the Russians; they may be Eastern Orthodox, but they're not Muslims, so they ain't one of us. Then there are all them Buddhist and Hindu infidels that need to convert to the True Faith.
These idiots are going to go to war against the whole world. Only one problem, there's more of us than there are of the Islamists. The Jihadi don't see this, yet. By the time they do, it will be too late.
Folks, this is how it will happen. The bin Ladenists are described as clever, resourceful, and intelligent by people ranging from Robert Fisk to Yosef Bodansky. But no matter how clever you are, you can't escape history. Their own fanaticism will be their undoing.
History has spoken once before, in 1945. It will again.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
Be still my heart. There's nothing like seeing a Jihadi getting his comeupance.
"I toldjahso." just isn't up to the task.
Nah. They suffer from delusions of adequacy.
