Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Raymond Ibrahim: Muslim History vs Western Fantasy: The ‘Refugee Crisis’ in Context

Oct 2, 2015 10:59 am By Raymond Ibrahim

One of the primary reasons Islamic and Western nations are “worlds apart” is because the way they understand the world is worlds apart.  Whereas Muslims see the world through the lens of history, the West has jettisoned or rewritten history to suit its ideologies.

This dichotomy of Muslim and Western thinking is evident everywhere. When the Islamic State declared that it will “conquer Rome” and “break its crosses,” few in the West realized that those are the verbatim words and goals of Islam’s founder and his companions as recorded in Muslim sources—words and goals that prompted over a thousand years of jihad on Europe.

Most recently, the Islamic State released a map of the areas it plans on expanding into over the next five years.  The map includes European nations such as Portugal, Spain, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Greece, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania, Armenia, Georgia, Crete, Cyprus, and parts of Russia.This dichotomy of Muslim and Western thinking is evident everywhere.  When the Islamic State declared that it will “conquer Rome” and “break its crosses,” few in the West realized that those are the verbatim words and goals of Islam’s founder and his companions as recorded in Muslim sources—words and goals that prompted over a thousand years of jihad on Europe.

The reason these European nations are included in the Islamic State’s map is simple.  According to Islamic law, once a country has been conquered (or “opened,” as it’s called in the euphemistic Arabic), it becomes Islamic in perpetuity.

This, incidentally, is the real reason Muslims despise Israel… Keep reading to learn why “Those who forget or ignore history are destined to be conquered by those who remember and praise it.”

    Was there some sort of error in this piece? Perhaps a cut and paste mess up? It’s not up to the high standards of Raymond — it seems very short and this sentence gets repeated twice!

    “When the Islamic State declared that it will “conquer Rome” and “break its crosses,” few in the West realized that those are the verbatim words and goals of Islam’s founder and his companions as recorded in Muslim sources—words and goals that prompted over a thousand years of jihad on Europe.”

      I noticed that too. I figured he did it to emphasize the point.

        Slightly OT, but still related to the horde of migrants attempting to invade the civilised countries.

        A Guardian article about the invasion of the Eurotunnel last night (Sunday 2nd October) ends with a paragraph about the conditions in the migrant camp at Calais:

        “A report about the camp known as the Jungle, home to about 3,000 people, said conditions there were diabolical, with cramped makeshift tents plagued by rats, water sources contaminated by faeces and inhabitants suffering from tuberculosis, scabies and post-traumatic stress.”

        Comments are barred at the Guardian, so I’ll say it here: Just like at home, then!

        “

        I think Don is right There is no such repeat in the article linked to.

    I not surprised that the west, after decades of liberal/leftist influence, has been conditioned to accept revionist history; and the idea that you can do it yourself. I.e. If you don’t like something (like history or religion), disassemble it and reconstruct it into a more palettable form. After all reality is subjective, right? making stuff up to suit your needs used to be called being crazy, now, under liberalism, it is considered normal – as a result people are losing or have already lost, the ability for critical thinking

    Islamic texts are good examples of the lack of critical thinking: IF a Muslim man can marry a Jew, and Jews are descendants of apes and pigs… ( if A=B and B=C, then A=C ) so Muslims should be able to marry an ape or a pig.

      “IF a Muslim man can marry a Jew, and Jews are descendants of apes and pigs… ( if A=B and B=C, then A=C ) so Muslims should be able to marry an ape or a pig.”

      They do, don’t they? And goats.

    Perhaps a new aphorism needs to be coined for our times: Those who forget or ignore history are destined to be conquered by those who remember and praise it.

    I wouldn’t say conquered, but they’re in for a rude awakening.

    The import of this short piece is that the West is so demoralized and disorganized that the Muslims (and other invaders) no longer have to put any effort into hiding their true purpose: the invasion and conquest of non-Muslim lands to extend sharia law.

    NPR / BBC (world) just happened to “coincidentally” cover a feel good story about hard working refugees from Nepal and Bhutan happily coexisting in assimilating into Vermont.

    Already the liberal MSM is fattening up the sheeple in preparation for the coming announcement that to be against the flood of Muslims about to be unleashed is to be racist and full of “unfounded” religious bigotry.

    Exactly! History is now a Dying Discipline for many and the islamic Worldview and its practical outcomes are so often Ignored and Overlooked , particularly by Western lawmakers and politicians . Though one can be fairly certain that an individual who spent much of his childhood living in a muslim dominated country, learning and memorizing the koran, Does Indeed, understand the islamic worldview ! Which is why such an individual , if they mislead the public regarding the truth about the islamic worldview and agenda, they are Especially Culpable: as they willingly and deliberately mislead the public. Unfortunately so much of the Discipline Of History here in the West, is passed on through a Socialist Worldview , with its sick self loathing , establishment hating paradigm filters . Leading of course to an IRRATIONAL hatred of ones own culture and a sick sycophantic exaltation of other cultures; while overlooking or justifying the other cultures shortcomings .Thank You Raymond For Highlighting The Importance Of Ones Understanding Of History, As It Relates To Ones Worldview !

    “Islamic State declared that it will “conquer Rome” and “break its crosses”

    Since that is the declared goal of Islam and Muslims who are devout, no Muslims should be allowed into Italy unless they renounce Islam, since Islam cannot be separated from the requirements imposed by its founder.

      Good plan
      The hypocritical UN might try to complain but we are already well aware the Saudis are already closing their society to other religions.

    Hi Robert,
    The West has RE-WRITTEN HISTORY – that is for sure

    There never were BABY BOOMERS – THERE WERE MORE BABY’S BORN IN THE 10 YEARS BEFORE WW2 THAN IN THE 20 YEARS AFTER WW2 & yet today – people who were never born are receiving the aged pension…. bllions of dollars paid out in pension payments to people who do not exist.
    We were brainwashed into believing that the population of the planet was ever increasing & that there was a population explosion.
    THIS IS A BLATENT LIE.
    The population of developed countries began to decrease with the advent of INDUSTRIALISATION which took place in the late 18th – to early 19th century…..THAT LONG AGO.
    Today the developing nations are experiencing a drop in the fertility rate across the board.
    SOME TIME BETWEEN 2020 – 2050 THE POPULATION OF THE PLANET WILL FALL BELOW THE GLOBAL REPLACEMENT LEVELS.
    It will be very hard indeed to get it back up again – impossible even –
    We the people of planet Earth are dying out.
    History re-written yet again.
