HISTORY AND RELIGION LESSON FOR APOLOGISTS FOR ISLAMIC TERROR
Islam is the youngest of the Western religions. Like the others, it allows
for only one God, theirs, and allows of only one interpretation of God's
will, their interpretation. However, Islam goes much farther. Much like
Communism, which was supposed to be an economic theory but extended its
authority to every aspect of human activity, Islam is supposed to be a
religion but also controls all other aspects of life.
It is a
set of laws which all must obey or be made to pay severe consequences.
Islam derives from the concept of
submission. As such, it is really incompatible with the modern Western
world. They know it. Most Americans don't.
Islam provide an emotional and spiritual home for people who
would otherwise be considered mentally unbalanced. Dying for
and killing innocents for Islam is celebrated in their traditions,
right up to the present day. Imagine if anyone in this country (USA)
celebrated the attack in Oklahoma City.
It is an expansive religion. By denying many rights to women,
it maintains a high birth rate and thus overwhelms other groups,
like modern Christians or Jews, which
afford their women more rights and thus experience a lower birth rate.
This influences current events. The
Balkans are a good example of this. A great thorn of contention between
Christian and Muslim groups, before they just starting killing each other,
was the tendency of Muslin women to run away to marry Christian men, because
these women wanted to escape the confines of Islamic law. The women who
remained in Islam had a higher birth rate. Thus Kosovo converted from a Serb
to Albanian majority with subsequent murderous attacks on the Serb minority.
These attacks were based on nothing but a sense they were not getting their
fair share.
The Serbs responded to
protect the Christian Serbs. The West objected to the heavy handed
approach,
and now we have troops in the Balkans who will never leave. They were sent
to protect the Muslim majority. Now they are trying to keep these same
Muslims from attacking Serbia and Macedonia.
People who say Muslims are peaceful just haven't had the benefit of living
near a large Muslim population yet. That may change in the near future.
Notice the marked violence France is experiencing with its large and growing
population of North African aka Muslims. For example, they just had a standoff with a
North
African who was using a missile launcher against the police. Gangs from North
African ethnic suburbs around Paris have gone on rampages, even into Paris.
These remarks may sound intolerant. They all based on fact and they are all
realistic. Just because you say it can't happen here doesn't mean it won't.
