                                       Islam is not a religion, nor is it a  cult.                                   In its fullest form, it is                                  
a                                  complete, total, 100% system of                                  life.
                                       Islam has religious, legal, political,  economic,                                  social, and military                                  
components.  The                                  religious component is a beard for all  of the                                  other                                  
components..
                                       Islamization begins when there are  sufficient                                  Muslims in a country to                                  
agitate for their                                  religious                                  privileges.
                                       When politically correct, tolerant, and                                  culturally diverse societies                                  
agree to Muslim                                  demands for their religious privileges,  some of                                  the other                                  
components tend to                                  creep in as                                  well.
                                       Here's how it                                  works:
                                       As long as the Muslim population remains  around                                  or under 2% in any                                  
given country, they                                  will be for the most part be regarded as  a                                  peace-loving                                  
minority, and not as                                  a threat to other citizens..  This is  the                                  case                                  in:
                                       United States -- Muslim                                  0.6%

                                       At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize  from                                  other ethnic minorities                                  
and                                  disaffected groups, often with major  recruiting                                  from the jails and among                                  
street gangs.                                   This is happening                                  in:
                                       Denmark -- Muslim                                  2%

                                       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.  This is occurring                                  in:
                                       France -- Muslim                                  8%
                                       Philippines --                                  5%

                                       Switzerland -- Muslim                                  4.3%
                                       The Netherlands -- Muslim                                  5.5%
                                       Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim                                  5.8%
                                       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 Muslims 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.  Such tensions are  seen                                  daily,                                  
particularly in                                  Muslim sections                                  in:

As soon as I read the first lines, I knew it was going to go into those percentages. Those percentages were stupid the last time I saw them.
ReplyDeleteYou can either bury your head in the stand or you can face the facts. Even if only 10% of Muslims of the world turn into militants, they will outnumber the US population. How does it look from the other end of the rifle or don't you even care?
ReplyDeleteDemonizing Muslims and the Muslim religion and/or "way of life" is not the answer. Bigotry and racism only end up with rifles pointed at each other. Don't know why christianist religious zealots don't get this... or is that the goal anyway from their perspective?
ReplyDeleteFrankly, you could put the term christianist in here, and it would almost equally describe how some religious zealots in the USA behave.
Get over yourselves; grow up and be an adult. I'm glad that Obama appointed some Muslims to his Admin; it was past-due time for that.
If we're ever going to hope to have some meaningful dialogue with a large percentage of the planet's population, then we need to begin treating them with the respect that they deserve. Disrespect and demonization is what results in jihads, not diplomacy and attempts to understand one another.
As I said in a prior post, expecting learn pearls of wisdom from rife-toting Ted Nugent means one has rocks in their head. Stop listenting to idiots like and start thinking for yourself for a change (if at all possible). And here's a thought: try leading your life by the principles espoused by Jesus: treat others as you would be treated yourself. Let they who have never sinned before, cast the first stone. As you treat the least among you, so you treat me.
Wow after slogging through all those percentages and bizarre analyses all I get is a little Obama bashing? It's kind of a let down.
ReplyDeleteAs ususal the right wants to blame Islam as a religion, rather than fundamentalism as the source of terrorism. Why not go a little further and just blame religion in general?
Hey Republics: any "system of life" that tells you that your beliefs are 100% right, and everyone else is 100% wrong is fundamentalist, extremist and dangerous. Or is that hitting too close to home for you?
You can bury your head in the sand or you can face the facts. Even if only 10% of crazies (blow up a federal building/fly their planes into the IRS/murder those they disagree with) that's still a lot.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful that I come from the Christian tradition which has an unblemished history of tolerance toward non-believers.
ReplyDeleteTo last Anon: That's a joke, right?
ReplyDeleteMarc, of course it was. Joan of Arc, Inquisition, Theo-cons, crusades are four that popped into my head immeidately.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend is a Palestinian muslim who grew up in Jordan..and he never experienced " daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run
ReplyDeleteethnic cleansing, and even some genocide"
Although he might know something about ethnic cleansing...from the other end!
To Anon who talked about "10% of the crazies" flying planes into buildings, etc: I assume that you are including in your rhetoric the fact that a lot of "crazies" in the USA who have flown planes into buildings and/or blown up buildings and/or encouraged large groups of people to commit suicide, etc have been WHITE CHRISTIAN MEN????????
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I just love simplifying everything down to: de darkies is to be feared at all costs.
There are zealots all over the place, but when a white christianist shoots & kills people in a christian church in the USA, somehow that's just fine with rightists. Ever noticed that?
Get a clue.
To the first Anon:
ReplyDeleteWelcome to MyRightWingDad.net, Frank Gaffney!
As a practising Muslim myself, once my sides stop hurting after reading such trollop, i rest assured that the right wing's scanty IQ as demonstrated by the above obviously deeply studied anthropological observation can never be translated into anything intelligent enough to cause my people to worry about trouble from such fascist lowlife. Unless perhaps they become more than 10% of the country.
