At last, we have hit on the solution to the global jihad onslaught: just be nicer to Muslims, you greasy Islamophobes. All those people sitting in those Paris cafes — just think of how mean they were being to Muslims. Some of them were probably even drinking alcohol. Oh, the Islamophobia! And those people in the Radisson Blu in Bamako, Mali: if only they had dropped their radically Islamophobic stance of going about their business, eating, drinking, sleeping and the like. How dare they provoke Muslims in that way!
And stop resisting jihad: if you really want to defeat it, don’t fight back. Let it happen, keep smiling, keep being nice. Anything you do to defend yourself and your country may provoke the poor dears and “poke them in the eye.” We can’t have that. It’s time to cut out all the Islamophobia and be nice for a change. Then when global peace ensues, we can sit down for a hearty lunch (no pork or beer, you Islamophobes) with the caliph al-Baghdadi and share a hearty laugh over the folly of all that conflict.
In the 1940s, did the Washington Post run the headline, “Want to stop Nazism? Be nicer to the Gestapo”?
“Want to stop Islamic terrorism? Be nicer to Muslims.” by Sarah Lyons-Padilla and Michele Gelfand, Washington Post, November 24, 2015:
The discovery that several of the Paris attackers were European nationals has fueled concern about Muslim immigrants becoming radicalized in the West.
Some politicians have expressed views that the best way to avoid homegrown terrorists is to shut the door.
The refugee migration debate turned even more contentious after authorities found a Syrian passport at the scene of the attack. Poland is now turning back refugees, more than half of American governors have vowed to refuse Middle Easterners seeking a new beginning, and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan has asked for a “pause” on the federal Syrian refugee program.
Fearful reactions to terrorist violence are nothing new. Incidents of extremist activity are often followed by anti-Islam protests or hate crimes. Reports of the Islamic State luring Western Muslims abroad are followed by a tightening of homeland security policy.
Horror of horrors!
Just after the attacks in Paris, presidential hopeful Donald Trump said that he would be willing to close mosques in America.
Terrible. What’s the big deal about a little sedition, people? It’s a big country, it can take it.
Such displays of intolerance can make Muslims feel like they don’t belong in Europe or the United States.
Our research, forthcoming in Behavioral Science and Policy, and in partnership with the World Organization for Resource Development and Education, shows that making Muslims feel this way can fuel support for radical movements. In other words, many Western policies that aim to prevent terrorism may actually be causing it.
Stop resisting. Just surrender, and all will be well. As Muhammad Atta said on September 11, 2001 to the passengers on the airliner he had just hijacked, “Stay quiet and you’ll be okay.”
Preventing radicalization
In our research, we asked hundreds of Muslims in Germany and the United States to tell us about their experiences as religious and cultural minorities, including their feelings of being excluded or discriminated against on the basis of their religion. We also asked how they balance their heritage identities with their American or German identities. We wanted to know if these kinds of experiences were related to their feelings toward radical groups and causes.
There are a lot of practical and ethical barriers to studying what makes someone become a terrorist.
We normally don’t know who terrorists are until after they’ve committed an attack. By then, we can only rely on after-the-fact explanations as to what motivated them. We can’t perform a controlled laboratory study to see who would participate in an act of terrorism. In surveys, we can’t ask someone straightforwardly how much they would like to join a radical movement, because most people who are becoming radicalized would not answer honestly.
Instead, we measured a couple of indicators of support for radicalism. We asked people how willing they would be to sacrifice themselves for an important cause. We also measured the extent to which participants held a radical interpretation of Islam. For example, we asked whether it’s acceptable to engage in violent jihad. Finally, we asked people to read a description of a hypothetical radical group and tell us how much they liked the group and how much they would want to support it. This hypothetical group consisted of Muslims in the United States (or Germany, in the German study) who were upset about how Muslims were treated by society and would stop at nothing to protect Islam.
Overall, support for these indicators of extremism was very low, which is a reminder that the vast majority of Muslims do not hold radical views.
Or at least that they know better than to tell non-Muslim researchers all about them.
But the responses of some people showed they felt marginalized and identified with neither the culture of their heritage nor the culture of their adopted country.
We described people as “culturally homeless” when they didn’t practice the same customs or share the same values as others in their adopted culture but also felt different from other people of their heritage.
We found that people who said they were torn between cultures also reported feeling ashamed, meaningless and hopeless. They expressed an overall lack of significance in their lives or a feeling that they don’t really matter. The more people’s sense of self worth was threatened, the more they expressed support for radicalism.
Our findings are consistent with a theory in psychology that terrorists are looking for a way to find meaning in their lives. When people experience a loss to their sense of personal significance — for example, through being humiliated or disrespected — they seek out other outlets for creating meaning….

This formulation comes straight out of the Muslim Strategy Playbook.
Namely, if you just bend over and present your rear, we will just fuck you and not cut off your head. (But, we’ll cut off your head anyway just for fun a piece at a time–when we said we weren’t, that was just ‘metaphoric’).
After over a decade of overt infiltration and terrorism, wouldn’t you think that people would start catching on? I guess having Obama in the Whitehouse is a huge counter balance to sanity.
What our Muslim neighbors need is active confrontation of the type that Robert provides. Intelligent, provoking confrontation to their core beliefs and values that exposes them to the light for everyone to see and understand including themselves. The level of denial will be our undoing.
I believe that we will prevail. We really are a ‘nation under God’. You will see. Americans will have their debate and they will win it.

Michael Copeland says
The authors carelessly assume, on no grounds, that their interviewees have “adopted” the “country”, when they write of “the culture of their adopted country”. Further, they conflate this with another careless assumption when they write of “their adopted culture”. In reality the persons interviewed may have adopted little more than a location in which to live, and a flow of obliging welfare. Quite probably they will have been instructed in their mosque, or by visiting speakers (like Erdogan) NOT to adopt the culture of their new location.
The two authors make inept amateur psychologists. Their journalism is low quality because they have not even bothered to inform themselves about Islam.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
And adoption of one’s new country is the key.
The two authors make inept amateur psychologists.
I’m not sure there even is an adept psychology. It’s a pseudoscience lacking in objective measures of behavior. If you look at the establishment of psychiatry — as in medical doctors — the metrics are gross, but real, mainly having to do with central nervous system phenomena, primarily dysfunctions. Psychology is an easy degree to be able to make a nice living billing against health insurance. It’s all guesswork. Look at the DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual) and you see the joke. There are few statistics, but plenty of diagnoses. This is how psychologists get paid, and how so many mind altering drugs get prescribed.

At least Rubio is talking–no matter how obliquely–about the Jihad threat. This is something most candidates aren’t dealing with at all, apparently considering our being murdered in the streets by ravening Muslims of no importance whatsoever.
Of course, he’s also talking about uncritically supporting Turkey in downing Russian planes and murdering their pilots, so to say that he is imperfect in his opposition to violent Jihad is rather an understatement…

The picture used in this article was used in an article titled Muslims fear backlash following Paris attacks.
Perhaps if Muslims stopped killing people, they would be treated nicer and would have no backlash to fear. Will Muslims stop killing infidels? Anyone who reads the Koran knows the answer to that.
Dave J says
Muhammad Atta’s “Be quiet and you’ll be okay” kind of sums it up.
What the West still doesn’t get is that Islam really is different, that their complete lack of a conscience or a golden rule or any kind of humility does make devout Muslims actual psychopaths.
You cannot sweet talk a psychopath, or even have a rational discussion. You cannot grant enough favors or cater to enough demands. They are beyond negotiation, pre-programmed robots with instructions to kill you no matter what, including blowing themselves up in the process. The only only thing they respect is force and that is what it will eventually come to, unfortunately.
EYESOPEN says
Concur. That is all they respect – or fear.
R Cole says
Or the whole premise of the questionnaire was wrong.
Muslims described as radical may not necessarily be concerned with what western society thinks of them.
Say for example they changed from their normal western clothing to dress like Bin Laden – that’s not saying – they care what western society thinks – one way or another.
More likely the radically different dress and outward rejection of western norms – are used as a way to promote their ‘alternative’ vision. That of the more conservative Islamic world.
::
Nothing to Hide
Notice the radical Muslims talk less – if at all – about ‘Islamophobia’ – than their so-called moderate coreligionists. The radicals are not interested in how Islam is viewed in polite society. With Islamophobia used by moderates to guard against discussion of Islam’s harsher elements – the radicals are explicit on detail.
::
The Pakistan Test
The problem with these measures used for the causes of terrorism – is that they should also apply in places like Pakistan. And assess if there are any similarities with those who join terrorist groups in predominately Muslim countries.
For example, in Pakistan any criticism of Islam will land you 25 years in jail – narrowly escaping the death penalty – so we could assume under Pakistan laws Muslims are provided a ‘safe space’ to practice their religion.
So the cultural confusion – feelings of shame and isolation and resulting lack of self worth – must be eliminated as reason for a Pakistani to become an Islamic militant jihadists.
::
And the further the western ‘islamophobia’ argument doesn’t explain the actions of Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, Southern Thailand, the Philippines, and the fact that ISIS ranks are full of those from places like Tunisia, and across the predominately Islamic North Africa and Middle East

Being tolerant of something or someone doesn’t mean you have to like it, or be “nice” to anyone. True tolerance doesn’t require anything of you. Muslims, like liberals, don’t ask for “tolerance.” Muslims and liberals demand capitulation, obedience, and total submission…

But…what if the Muslim will smile at you, and hug you…and shove a knife between your shoulder blades, or detonate the explosive vest.
They ‘ve done it to their *own*, if they deem them insufficiently-Islamic, or the wrong kind of Muslim.
Excerpt from a news report from the bloody innards of the dar al Islam:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-01-16/suicide-bomber-kills-iraqi-mp–6-others/4466534
“The moment he stepped out of the car to check out this road between Fallujah and Amriyah, at this moment, there was a man,” the lawmaker’s office chief, Sohaib Haqi, said.
“He came to him, hugged him, said Allahu Akbar, and blew himself up.””
And then there’s this, from the jihadwatch archives.
Something to share with all those people we know who have met such *nice*, lovely, smiling Muslims and simply refuse to believe that Islam might be dangerous to Kuffar.
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/06/i-could-be-joking-and-smiling-and-then-cutting-their-throats-in-the-next-second.html
“I could be joking and smiling and then cutting their throats in the next second”
“A Bronx man who wanted to set up an al Qaeda training camp in the United States bragged that he could smile at someone one minute and slit the person’s throat the next, court papers reveal.
“Tarik Ibn Osman Shah, 42, made the chilling boast in a meeting with an undercover FBI agent April 1, 2004, near Orlando, Fla., according to a criminal complaint unsealed yesterday.
“Shah saw a girl nearby looking at him and he smiled back.
“The Bronx man, the son of a Malcolm X lieutenant, then turned to the agent and said, “I could be joking and smiling and then cutting their throats in the next second,” the complaint said.
“Shah, a professional jazz bassist, brought along his instrument “so as not to bring attention to himself.”
Being a musician was a great cover, he said…”.
Sharia forbids music….but it’s okay to make music, be a musician, if you are doing it to disarm the suspicions of Infidels….
gravenimage says
It’s the usual–the cause of Jihad is…any resistance to violent Jihad.
As for the cultural issue, *every* immigrant feels, to a greater or lesser extent, torn between cultures.
These feelings can be used for good or ill–groups as different as the Hmong and Eastern European shtetl Jews have come to the US and other parts of the West and excelled at science and music, contributed to literature, or helped create the film industry.
The idea that such conflicted feelings lead inevitably to waging violent Jihad is bs–instead, if is a strong adherence to Islam that leads to violent Jihad for Muslims, whether at home or abroad.
Rik says
That is completely wrong. They are saying that when resistance to Jihad is directed towards innocent people, then you are making the problem worse by pushing those innocents away from your culture and making them vulnerable to the Jihadist recruiters. The most compelling rationale for any extremist is that the old culture is corrupt and unjust, and targeting all muslims regardless of their actions is unjust.
This is not a uniquely Muslim problem. there are plenty of other ideologies like fundamentalism in other religions, white supremecy, or nationalism that can grease the rails towards violent extremism.
And just by the way strong adherence to Islam does not have to lead to violence. Quietist Salafis for instance believe in perfecting the religiosity of their own lives while waiting for the unmistakable will of god, and a clear consensus of Islamic scholars, to indicate that their caliphate has come in to being.

mortimer says
Muslims demand that we not ask them to explain whether or not they support jihad.
One Muslim in six supports at least one jihad terrorist group. 65% of Muslims want a Sharia-run society and a caliphate-dictatorship. That leaves a minority of 35% of Muslims who are ‘moderate’ about Islam or doubt whether Islam is true.
Political Islam is theocratic fascism. It is similar to Nazism, however, Nazism believed in a living human deity. Mohammed was like Hitler…uncomfortably like Hitler. If Nazism had survived WWII, it would likely have become like a supremacist religion similar to Islam.
mortimer says
Washington Post: “Want to stop Islamic terrorism? Be nicer to Muslims.”
The reason rubbish like this is printed is because journalists refuse to learn the JIHAD DOCTRINE.
Journalist who write like this have not studied political Islam and are writing mere speculation and presenting it as fact. That is not good enough. Journalists who do not study political Islam are negligent. They are letting us down and not defending their own rights or ours.
N3VRM1SZ says
Interpretation and contemplation of doctrinal law, as well as Islamic ideology and practices in Islam, are necessary in order for one to form a basis for sincerely held religious beliefs, beginning with the mostly benign and often beneficent expressions and religious system of The Holy Koran. The Holy Koran, the sacred text of Islam, is revered as the word of God, or more appropriately here, Allah. As dictated to the Arab prophet Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel circa 625 A.D., and present as a matter of translation of The Holy Koran from Arabic into English by George Sale in 1734 A.D., are among other things, the following expressions with their respective citation to sura:
-Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you. Sura 2.16.
-The only true faith in Allah’s sight is Islam. Sura 3.19.
-Evildoers are those that do not judge according to Allah’s revelations. Sura 5.47.
-Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. Sura 5.51.
-When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. Sura 9.5.
-Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given as believe in neither Allah nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what Allah and his apostle have forbidden, and do not embrace the true faith, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued. Sura 9.29.
I am aware of alternative translations of portions of the previously translated expressions, as well as further and related expressions, as follows:
According to Takrike Tarsile Qur’an, Inc., a nonprofit Islamic organization staffed by Muslims devoted to the dissemination of authentic knowledge concerning Islam, the following expressions are from The Qur’an, translated by Mahomedali Habib; which were originally published by Habib Esmail Benevolent Trust of Karachi, Pakistan; and were later reprinted by the World Organization for Islamic Services of Teheran, Iran:
-Fighting is enjoined on you . . . Sura 2.16.
-Surely the true religion with Allah is Islam. Sura 3.19.
-O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends. Sura 5.51.
-So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Sum 9.5.
-Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection. Sum 9.29.
It is with such expressions, among others, of The Holy Koran, or Qur’an, that many terrorists believe that it’s okay to kill with suicide bomb attacks, believing that it is guided moral conduct and behavior remaining within the structured bounds of Islamic doctrinal law. Regardless of whether such makes sense or not to anyone else, it makes dangerously deadly sense to the mujahideen, those individuals known by others as Islamic extremists or terrorists.
In defense of personal slights against my character, dished out to me in response to my well-meant attempts to educate and enlighten others utilizing independently verifiable historical facts, as opposed to serving up heaping plates of emotional falsehood and histrionic conjecture, I provide the following:
“…[T]he dictionary definition of a bigot includes one who holds rigidly to an idea…[H]olding to what you believe to be true is, by itself, not inherently bad. Even the simple act of one person believing another to be a bigot, and refusing to be convinced otherwise, is itself a prime example of bigotry.” Fellowship Baptist Church of Fountain Inn, South Carolina. The intolerant ones label me intolerant. The bigots label me a bigot.
I challenge opponents to prove me wrong by independently utilizing a Koran to compare , Sura for Sura, the words I have presented as being translated quotations from the Koran. No honest comparison can prove me wrong. To denigrate me or to disparage my message through negative personal attacks by way of posted comments reflecting confirmatory bias, or worse, does not in any way affect the absolute and enduring truth of my statements. I have long observed, and have read many historical accounts supporting the observation, that some people believe what they want to believe in spite of being presented with overwhelming fact based evidence to the contrary.
I take the liberty of ending my post with an applicable statement widely attributed to Neil deGrasse Tyson: “The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.”
rabrooks says
half the information is dangerous! Bigots do hold dearly to an idea, IN THE PRESENCE OF ALTERNATE or UPDATED INFORMATION. Those two parts make up the whole. Also, the koran wasn’t put together till after mad mo’ met his lamb-chop. His sayings, revelations, beliefs and laws were all grouped into separate works/books.
From gabe’ to mo OK. However mo couldn’t read or write, so that included another person. mo never really knew what was written about him while he was alive, let alone after he was dead.

I’d like to see the band that was playing at the Bataclan come back to Paris and do a special gig…at the Bataclan.
At the beginning and end of the gig they should do a full-blast rendition of the ‘Marseillaise”, going heavy on the drums.
Also, on behalf of any Catholics among the bereaved they should do a full-bore adaptation of *this*. It’s already a militant marching tune. It’s an invocation of one of France’s Patron Saints – the little girl with a sword commanding armies to toss invaders and occupiers out of France – Joan of Arc.

I’m sick to the teeth of the news on the screen
of hisbullah scum and jihad the obscene
whose men plant the bombs and then live feeling free
to watch women and children be killed on T.V.
which satan delivers a child a death curse
in the name of a worn out collection of verse
I’ve not read the book so I cannot recite
but I’d bet Salman Rushdie is just about right
underneath the black cloud of islam
What kind of publicity needs so much blood
that’s not for some sad diablical god
selling himself as a two-bit Macbeth
as the expect in sentencing cousins to death
and what kind of god can this be anyway
that you have to prostrate to him five times a day
with hate in your heart and a gun in your hand
is force the only thing to understand
underneath the black cloud of islam?
and the butchers who’ve got all this blood on their hands
are the ones who need god to be stood where he stands
blessing this kidnapping, murder and war
with books written hundreds of ages before
and woman in veils walking paces behind
doesn’t sit easy in my mind
it speaks of oppression and no other choice
that rigid compliance with the loudest voice
underneath the black cloud of islam
You can put a lead bullet clean through this guitar
‘cos I’m not overjoyed with the story so far
sharing a world with the nutters of god
is as good as being six feet under the sod
words that are written are all here to say
and these are the latest there are anyway
and I am the prophet so don’t believe me
I’m the same as the old ones expect that I’m free
to give you a piece of my mind which is this
you’re the worst of jehovas blind witlessnesses
with your feet in the door of the deepest abyss
which is underneath the black cloud of islam
*The only false note in this is ‘jehovas’ – better to substitute one of the uglier arabic names of ‘allah’ – maybe “The Trickster”, al-makr – and it would be perfect.
Maybe pun with ‘allah’ – “Al-Liar”. – ‘you’re the worst of Al-Liar’s blind witlessnesses”.

**Fire** in the belly is *exactly* what’s needed !

The writers and editors who publish such lunacy need to be locked up and treated in mental institutions. And if medicine can’t help them then they should be put down for their own good and for the safety of the populace.
Andrew H. says
P.S. There needs to be a response to such offensive idiocy and the immediate first step is to cancel subscriptions to the paper and to get all your friends to do likewise. I believe Bazos of Amazon now owns the Washington Post. Does he support such dangerous lunacy? If so, then Amazon should be bycotted, too.

I know few Muslims, the “moderate” kind and my feeling is that they are almost happy over the Paris attacks, not overtly but it is pretty clear how they feel. They blame it on the West of course. When I expressed shock over the attacks they reminded me that civilians die also in Raqqa and nobody cries for them…the nerve of these people…it is like they have the monopoly over grief…they are the eternal victims and nobody else can ever suffer as much as they do…Feeling disgusted.

Muslims, the Islamic culture is NOT like Western culture. Islamic culture views all this compassion, tolerance as both sinful and weak and the more we give in and accomidate muslims, the more they will demand, And the weaker they will think us so they will push even harder thinking they are winning.
In Islamic culture a true man gets angry and shows his anger, is converned with his “honor” and if he feels that honor is damaged he reacts with violence.
We are taught a man doesnt show his anger, walks away and calms down to discuss things without anger. We dont have the concept of “personal honor”in our daily lives and havent since the Middle Ages.
We are taughtbthat violence is the absolutely last resort if we condone it at all. Violence is not used to resolve any of the issues of daily life.
Muslims view every tiny little in the world through the lens of their ideology, of Islam. Islam is about control, controlling what believers wear, eat, where they live, how and what they pray and even the position of their body while praying, …as well as how and what they think. Islam even controld the “possinility” of things, the possibility thatvthe man you sell grapes to, ( it is allowed to sell grapes) will then jse those grapes to make wine. Innthis case, if this is a possinility, not know for sure, just possible then it is forbidden to sell grapes to that particular man.
To the West, this in incomprehensible, we dont understand this degree of control,. We havent had amything like this since the Inquisition.
Amd Muslims say ” we dont support terrorism or killingbof innocents” sounds peaceful doesnt it? But go to the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights, this is the Islamic version of the UN Universal Declaration of Human rights. Why do muslims feel they need an Islamic version, surely Human Rights are universal? Muslims view the human rights of muslims very differently that the human rights on non muslims. So the Cairo Declaration makes sure muslims are aware of this fact. That any numan rights are only thise human rights that are given to muslims and non muslims by Sharia law, the Cairo Declaration is the Sharia law defination of human rights. Basic.y muslims have human rights, non muslims not so much.
And Muslims continually use taqyyia on us. The comment of muslims that they ” dont support terrorism and killing of innocents” is an example of this taqyyia, deception by misunderstanding. What this phrase really means, as seen through the lens of Islam and Sharia is. Muslims do not support terrorism……but Jihad is NOT considered terrorism, and as alll muslims that have commited acts of terrorism were waging jihad when they did this act of what we call terrorism, they werent terrotists or comitting terrorism. They were mujahideen waging jihad.
The phrase ” muslims dont support killing of innocents” is the same kind taqyyia. Innocents, are never non muslims, because non muslims have deliberately and willfully rejected what they know and has been proven to be the best system for man kind they are never innocents. Innocents are muslims who are attacked by non muclims who willfully reject that they know and what has been proven to be the best system for mankind…..Islam is peaceful and tolerant” are more examples. The peace is that peace that will occur when the entire world is converted to Islam, and its the peace and tolerance that muslims have for each other. We muct understamd and never firget that the world is divided into Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb. The House of Islam and the House of War, Us and Them. It has been this way for 1400 years since Islam began and it has neber changed and will never change.
Its a kind of code that most Americans dont understand and dont even realize that are are using this taqyyia deception by misunderstanding. The Us verses Them that we dont realize and the words that mean one thing to all muslims , but not what us kuffir , nonnbelievers, think that muslims mean by those words. We can never twke what a muslim says at face value, we can never think a muslim means what we think he means.
We are at war. Islam has freely ackowledged this for the past 1400 years. We of the west thought this was was over hundreds of years ago, or at least decades ago. The uslims have never considered the war over. In 1924 the Ottoman Caliphate fell. In 1928 the Muslim Brotherhood was formed to re instate an Islamic Caliphate and hadps been stradily working towards that goal since.
For the first time in our history, we have an enemy that openly and freely tells us they are our enemy. And they tell us why we are enemies and they tell us what their goal is and even how they will go about achieving this goal.
The more they tell us these things the more we ignore them , look for other reasons they hate us, treat the, with compassion and tolerance, allowing them to use our Rights and Freedoms to help them achieve their goal.

I’m certain this would sound logic to the uninformed crowd that believes that all cultures and religions are the same, and that it could happen to anyone: people go abroad, get treated badly by the locals and turn to drugs and crime. For those who do know that islam commands muslims not to assimilate and to spread islam by force if necessary, it entices either a hearty chuckle (“wait, people actually believe this nonsense?”) or an eye roll (“not this crap again – aren’t newspapers supposed to fact-check what they print?”).

Jay Boo,
Thank you for the video. It may be useful for showing to people who are not aware of the truth about Islam.
I already knew anout abrogation, taqyyia and that the Koran was supposed to be the word of God as dictated to Gabriel who dictated it to Mohammed. Altho,it wasnt actually collected and written down into a book until after Mohammed’s death. It is stated that many parts of the Koran have been lost before it was collected and written in one book, because of the deaths in jihad of the only men who had memorized particular parts.
I can recommend “Its All Anout Mohammed” by F. W. Burleigh. Its a well researched biography of Mohammed using the same texts muslims use.It has a good bibliography so the reader can read more. Its not a rant of any kind. Available on Amazon

If indeed we know that the Muslims will feel marginalized as minorities and this will possibly lead to radicalization, wouldn’t the obvious solution be for Muslims to stay in their own countries?
