Pedestrian Infidel "The West needs to get its head on straight and define Islam as it should be. It isn’t a religion which is focused on spirituality and growth. It is focused on fascistic ritual and conquest and conversion of all believers, by force if necessary..."

Islam: The Enemy of Democracy and Freedom

John Sobieski

Until 9/11, the western world was largely ignorant of the religion of Islam, of its goals, of its aspirations. Indeed, even since 9/11, most people, and that includes our politicians, would not score very highly in a test of their knowledge on the subject. It should be obvious to all thinking people that our politicians are actually unaware, dare I say blind, to the dangers that Islam will increasingly cause us. It is truly a case of the blind leading the blind! That means to say, uninformed and unthinking politicians leading an ill-informed electorate. But this is what we have right now. The same can hardly be said of Muslims in the Islamic world, though; for their knowledge of Christianity far surpasses - even though much of their knowledge is quite distorted - any knowledge of Islam by the man in the street in the West.

European Kafir The Anti-Jihadist Mark Proving the Point

As the old saying goes, knowledge is power. But what we often don't hear uttered is its converse: Ignorance is weakness. The West is far weaker than it need be because of this ignorance of Islam, since Islam is our greatest enemy. The greatest enemy since Nazism and communism. I'll give you some good reasons why this is so. And none of them - absolutely none of them - are based on hatred.

Certified Haram By Muslims!

Islam is the enemy of the West for a plethora of good, solid reasons, and if we wish to survive as a civilization, we are going to have to bite the bullet and deal, head on, with the issues these reasons raise. Let us begin... First and foremost, we are dealing with a religion which does not recognize any separation of politics and religion, any separation of the political from the spiritual. For Muslims, life is one coherent whole: the political and spiritual both meld into one. This has always been so, and always will be. No re-classification of the religion into two separate parts is possible because of Islam's very nature.

In Islam, all power rests with Allah, the god of Muslims. The Qur'an, their holy book, is always taken literally. Those words are considered to be the actual words of Allah. Therefore, none of these words can be changed, for to change any of them would be tantamount to tampering with Allah's words. This would be a grave sin in their eyes. For the same reason that the words contained in the Qur'an cannot be changed, they cannot, therefore, be re-interpreted either. So do not hold your breath for any kind of reformation in this religion, because it’s not going to happen. In Islam, all power rests with Allah, and it filters down via his vice-gerents on earth to the people. Hence the great desire among Muslims to restore the caliphate. Contrast this with the Western model of government. In the West, the ideal political system is democracy. In democracy, all

Pedestrian Infidel: Islam: The Enemy of Democracy and Freedom power rests with the people, and they exercise that power at the polls. In a democracy, all power filters in the opposite direction from Islam. In democracy it filters up; in Islam, down! Herein lies the greatest barrier to the miscibility of the two worlds: the western world and the Islamic world. Without digressing too much here, I should like to add that this is the main reason why George W Bush and Blair's venture into Iraq to bring democracy there was a grave error of judgment. We are now seeing the experiment failing before our very eyes. How can one bring democracy to a region of the world where the people who inhabit that region believe that all power rests with Allah, and where they believe that Allah has prescribed their way of life for them for then, for now, and for all time? I would suggest that where such a dichotomy exists, the most sensible and prudent thing to do would be for us to lead our lives as we see fit, and for those people to be allowed to live their lives as they see fit. That way, there would be hope of some peace in this world. But this is not what we have done. We have done the very opposite of this: We have entered the Middle East in the hope - the vain hope in my opinion - of bringing our way of doing things, our way of life, to them; furthermore, we have allowed millions and millions of Muslims into the West - and at the very time when Christianity, the religion which underpins the West, is greatly weakened anyway - which will only give us headaches for the years ahead. Why? Because Muslims who immigrate bring their hopes and dreams and aspirations with them, hopes and dreams of establishing Islam everywhere on earth. To Islamize the world is the main aspiration of the Muslim; and we have seen in France in the recent past the manifestation of aggression in its cause. For what happened in France was in no small part because of the Muslim's desire to establish Allah's caliphate here on earth. These were the first rumblings, the first roar of the lion! Expect more of this in the future, as Islam grows stronger and stronger. Muslims, by and large, do not respect non-Muslims. How can they? Their religion does not allow them to do so. Their religion preaches that Muslims are superior to non-Muslims; indeed, they use the derogatory term infidel for us. This word to some Westerners might simply mean that they call us infidels because we are people who do not subscribe to their faith. This, after all, would be quite logical, since to us it simply means not fidèle, or not true to the faith. But this does not completely describe what Muslims mean by this term. To Muslims, to be called an infidel is an insult indeed. It has connotations of inferiority, backwardness, and even uncleanness.

You see, Muslims believe that Islam is the perfection of religion for man for all time. They call it ad deen al kamal, the perfect religion. In their eyes, people who have not yet submitted to the will of Allah are in a state of preIslamic chaos, a state known to them as jahiliyyah. To Muslims, all Muslims, the whole world is classified in two parts: that part of the world which has submitted and is therefore in the Islamic state known as Dar ul Islam, or 'the House of Islam'; and that part of the world which has yet to submit and is therefore in a pre-Islamic, chaotic, jahiliyyic state known as Dar ul Harb, or the 'House of War'.

The Counterterrorism Blog

The 'House of War' is the part of the world which has yet to be taken over, and must at some point be taken over in the future. We, I am sorry to inform you, are in the 'House of War'. So we can expect anything at anytime.

The Dhivehistan Report

Some people would ask why we were able to go for quite a long time without problems with Muslims. The answer to that is a simple one indeed. First of all, there were relatively few Muslims living in the West, so the ones that did live here were not powerful. Secondly, Muslims living in the Islamic world were, for the most part and for many years, poor by anyone's standards. This all changed with the Oil Embargo of the 70s - a time when

Pedestrian Infidel: Islam: The Enemy of Democracy and Freedom the price of oil on the world markets soared. As a result of this, the Islamic world became rich and empowered. Money is power; and it talks loudly. In recent years we have seen evidence aplenty of Islam being on the move. I tell you now: If we do not find a way of clipping its wings here in the West, we shall lose our democracy, and we shall be in deep, deep trouble.

Gates of Vienna

So the trouble we will have with Muslims will not come only from without, but in the future we can expect trouble from the Muslims within. The millions of Muslims living here in the West will not integrate, because it is not in their worldview to do so. It is also forbidden them by their very own Prophet Himself, the Prophet Muhammad. He forbade Muslims even to befriend infidels. He also exhorted them to kill us. And he certainly told them that they should live separate lives, and dress and behave differently, so that they could easily tell themselves apart.

Human Events Online

No Western politician is going to be able to change these facts, for facts they are indeed. Moreover, as Islam will grow here, their numbers will become greater and greater, and they will be able to use our democratic system to outvote us and introduce their form of government based as it is on their beloved Shari'ah, or Quranic laws. How do you propose we shall be able to stop them? We shall be outnumbered, and as the outcome of democratic elections depends on the number of votes cast, we shall be able to do nothing about it. This time will come quicker than we might think, because so few babies are being born to infidel families.

Jihad Watch

The only thing left for people to do, will be to fight. Inevitably, at some point, civil war will ensue. If the political process fails people, then this will be all that will be left for them: civil war, guerre civile, Bürgerkrieg, call it what you will.

Little Green Footballs

But one thing I can assure you, no politicians' sweet talk, posturing, or manœvring, will get us out of this one without conflict at some point in the future.

The Official Website of Prophet Mohammed

One of the biggest problems for the West is its devotion to the concept of freedom of religion. This is a lofty concept indeed, an ideal; but this devotion blinds people to one important reality: To the reality that Islam is not just a religion, but a political system, too. Indeed, it is more of a political system than anything else, and it is, in addition, a political system diametrically opposed to our own. It abhors freedom of choice, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of anything that we so cherish. The only thing one is free to do in Islam is become a Muslim, and submit to the will of Allah.

Red.eVolution

These two systems are totally immiscible, and unfortunately, we have imported this immiscibility right into the heart of the West; and to our own great disadvantage, and to the disadvantage of our long-term peace and security. What, I ask you, will the Americans do when the ever-growing Muslim population in America starts wanting to tinker with the Americans' beloved Constitution? When Muslims will see their way clear to supplant the Constitution with Shari'ah law?

Thrutch

Questions like these are the ones we should be grappling with NOW. To wait until the time comes would be foolish indeed. Wake up to the harsh realities of life in the twenty-first century! We've got some collective thinking to do if we wish to save ourselves from darkness. Perhaps we shall, indeed, be forced to think about having to re-classify Islam as a political system first and foremost, a political system immiscible with our own, and one whose advance needs to be forestalled. This may be one of our only sensible alternatives. Since to give complete, unhampered freedom to Islam to grow here in the West is tantamount to digging our own graves.

7 comments: Emerson Twain said... Prior to islam, all "nations" had a birth origination, a language commonality and a geographical home. One of islam's innovations was to reconceive the very notion of nation. Grafted on to the tribal concept of the primacy of blood was the concept of belief as blood. The Ummah. Twelve hundred years later there arose a competing concept, and a very similar concept: the American. The American idea of nation is, like islam, not really national at all, at least not in the classical sense. Instead, it consists of people with a shared idea subsisting on a piece of geography that the word "nation" only approximates. In fact, the collision between these two competing ideas occurs in the area of geography. America is a place, a safe harbor where this idea lives in the heart of its citizens who exist within an assumed larger construct of nation-states.

Islam does not exist within a construct of nation-states at all. For the Ummah, all geography is but place-names, e.g., the "land of two rivers", the land of the "two holy places", etc. Frenchness, Abyssinianness, Germanness are irrelevant, as are the arbitrary lines on maps that delineate their whereabouts. Islam is geographically acquisitive as it seeks to spread its notion of nation-idea. Jihilliah is but a temporary phenomenon to be eradicated and then the Germanness will disappear like the Indus Valley culture before it. And yes, like the Greco-Roman culture of Syria and Lebanon and Mesopotamia and North Africa and Anatolia. So there are the "endo-islamic" civil wars and there are the "exo-islamic" civil wars. They live among us. Which shall it be? 10:17 PM

Anonymous said... Forgive me dear respected P.I., for posting personal comments regards Mark's blog, as his comments are not available. I would like to mention a link from Mark and also George Mason, to a recent "Times" article, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1687360.ece These scary stories appear with such regularity, it is hard to give them that much credence. But nevertheless, we should all heighten our preparedness, somehow. I have occasional clairvoyant dreams and foresaw 9/11. One other disturbing one relates to an attack of a very large explosion Po(Lorry/van) near to the Telecom Tower in London. It was night time and for particular reasons, I can say that it involved "dirty" radioactive materials. Another featured the crash of a BA airplane over S.E. UK. May God prevent such wickedness, but maybe the nature of this beast must be fully exposed before action is taken to slay this viper. I just wish the authorities here could take these threats seriously and warn the population of our great city. I believe this chance of terror attack has been brought forward by Al Q, because of the recent Iran/UK Navy debacle, the fact that our guard is down when compared to USA, and the blatant dithering of the UK government. Please stand with us America. God forbid, but should such events occur, I hope we have the resolve to use our total military capability to erase the core of this disease, no matter what the cost. I doubt we shall, and "The New Dark Age" will have been ushered in. Please excuse my doom and gloom, for life must surely go on. 7:37 AM

Dear Mark, As a long time opponent of the totalitarian creed of Islam I would like you to know that I appreciate your efforts.(alongside Melanie Phillips,Pat Condell,Christopher Hitchens et al.) That this egregious ideology represents a serious threat to free thinking individuals if not to world peace is pathegnomic. It's my view that unrelenting criticism and derision by any means will identify the enemy and possibly turn the waverers away from this clear and present death cult. I would like the term muslim to be a term of disgrace and feeblemindedness just as being called a nazi is.(I see little difference; both are totalitarian ideologies, both believe that killing opponents is justifiable) Fortunately nazis are no longer a

Sadly,there are, in our western democracies stupid appeasers, who, in"the interests of community relations"grant ever more privileges to ill-educated mindless barbarians ,guided by that ridiculous "terror manual"(aka the Koran)think they have a divine right to impose their stinking ideology on free people.
