Jihad Watch

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

Raymond Ibrahim: Revive Clear Thinking and the Jihad Dies

Apr 7, 2016 4:42 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

islamic-state16

Because it is my field of study, one would expect I’d have much to say immediately after jihadi attacks of the sort that recently occurred in Brussels (35 killed), or San Bernardino (14 killed), or Paris (130). Ironically, I don’t: such attacks are ultimately symptoms of what I do deem worthy of discussion, namely, root causes. (What can one add when a symptom of the root cause he has long warned against occurs other than “told you so”?)

So what is the root cause of jihadi attacks? Many think that the ultimate source of the ongoing terrorization of the West is Islam. Yet this notion has one problem: the Muslim world is immensely weak and intrinsically incapable of being a threat. That every Islamic assault on the West is a terrorist attack — and terrorism, as is known, is the weapon of the weak — speaks for itself.

This was not always the case. For approximately one thousand years, the Islamic world was the scourge of the West. Today’s history books may refer to those who terrorized Christian Europe as Arabs, Saracens, Moors, Ottomans, Turks, Mongols, or Tatars — but all were operating under the same banner of jihad that the Islamic State is operating under.

No — today, the ultimate enemy is within. The root cause behind nonstop Muslim terrorization of the West is found in those who stifle or whitewash all talk and examination of Muslim doctrine and history; who welcome hundreds of thousands of Muslim migrants while knowing that some are jihadi operatives and many are simply “radical”; who work to overthrow secular Arab dictators in the name of “democracy” and “freedom,” only to uncork the jihad suppressed by the autocrats (the Islamic State’s territory consists of lands that were “liberated” in Iraq, Libya, and Syria by the U.S. and its allies).

So are Western leaders and politicians the root cause behind Islamic terrorization of the West?

Close — but still not there yet.

Far from being limited to a number of elitist leaders and institutions, the Western empowerment of the jihad is the natural outcome of postmodern thinking — the real reason an innately weak Islam can be a source of repeated woes for a militarily and economically superior West.

Remember, the reason people like French President Francois Hollande, U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are in power — three prominent Western leaders who insist that Islam is innocent of violence and who push for Muslim immigration — is because they embody a worldview that is normative in the West.

In this context, the facilitation of jihadi terror is less a top down imposition and more a grass root product of decades of erroneous, but unquestioned, thinking. (Those who believe America’s problems begin and end with Obama would do well to remember that he did not come to power through a coup but that he was voted in — twice. This indicates that Obama and the majority of voting Americans have a shared, and erroneous, worldview. He may be cynically exploiting this worldview, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s because this warped worldview is mainstream that he can exploit it in the first place.)

Western empowerment of the jihad is rooted in a number of philosophies that have metastasized into every corner of social life, becoming cornerstones of postmodern epistemology. These include the doctrines of relativism and multiculturalism on the one hand, and anti-Western, anti-Christian sentiment on the other.

Taken together, these cornerstones of postmodern, post-Christian thinking hold that there are no absolute truths and thus all cultures are fundamentally equal and deserving of respect. If any Western person wants to criticize a civilization or religion, then let them look “inwardly” and acknowledge their European Christian heritage as the epitome of intolerance and imperialism.

Add to these a number of sappy and silly ideals — truth can never be uttered because it might “hurt the feelings” of some (excluding white Christians, who are fair game), and, far from suspecting them, the West should go out of its way to appease Muslims until they “like us” — and you have a sure recipe for disaster, that is, the current state of affairs.

Western people are bombarded with these aforementioned “truths” from the cradle to the grave — from kindergarten to university, from Hollywood to the news rooms, and now even in churches — so that they are unable to accept and act on a simple truism that their ancestors well knew: Islam is an inherently violent and intolerant creed that cannot coexist with non-Islam (except insincerely, in times of weakness).

The essence of all this came out clearly when Obama, in order to rationalize away the inhuman atrocities of the Islamic State, counseled Americans to get off their “high horse” and remember that their Christian ancestors have been guilty of similar if not worse atrocities. That he had to go back almost a thousand years for examples by referencing the crusades and the Inquisition — both of which have been completely distorted by the warped postmodern worldview, including the portrayal of imperialist Muslims as victims — did not matter to America’s leader.

Worse, it did not matter to most Americans. The greater lesson was not that Obama whitewashed modern Islamic atrocities by misrepresenting and demonizing Christian history, but that he was merely reaffirming the mainstream narrative that Americans have been indoctrinated into believing. And thus, apart from the usual ephemeral and meaningless grumblings, his words — as with many of his pro-Islamic, anti-Christian comments and policies — passed along without consequence.

***

Once upon a time, the Islamic world was a superpower and its jihad an irresistible force to be reckoned with. Over two centuries ago, however, a rising Europe — which had experienced over one millennium of jihadi conquests and atrocities — defeated and defanged Islam.

As Islam retreated into obscurity, the post-Christian West slowly came into being. Islam didn’t change, but the West did: Muslims still venerate their heritage and religion — which impels them to jihad against the Western “infidel” — whereas the West learned to despise its heritage and religion, causing it to become an unwitting ally of the jihad.

Hence the current situation: the jihad is back in full vigor, while the West — not just its leaders, but much of the populace — facilitates it in varying degrees. Nor is this situation easily remedied. For to accept that Islam is inherently violent and intolerant is to reject a number of cornerstones of postmodern Western thinking that far transcend the question of Islam. In this context, nothing short of an intellectual/cultural revolution — where rational thinking becomes mainstream — will allow the West to confront Islam head on.

But there is some good news. With every Islamic attack, the eyes of more and more Western people are opened to the true nature of Muhammad’s religion. That this is happening despite generations of pro-Islamic indoctrination in the West is a testimony to the growing brazenness of the jihad.

Yet it still remains unclear whether objective thinking will eventually overthrow the current narrative of relativism, anti-Christianism, and asinine emotionalism.

Simply put, both celebrating multiculturalism and defeating the jihad is impossible.

However, if such a revolution takes place — sooner rather than later — the Islamic jihad will be easily swept back into the dustbin of history. For the fact remains: Islam is terrorizing the world, not because it can, but because the West allows it to.

    All those brutal and murderous Islamic terror attacks by those who engage in the jihad for Islam ,be they jihad attacks in be they in Boston Brussels, San Bernardino ,Paris as well as in many other countries rises in important question: is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, “”s the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax?” Since The jihadists use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. There, the question is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

    From time to time, I post this outstanding essay by Deborah Tyler (in the December 28th American Thinker) titled “Why we cannot face the truth about Obama”. Sorry for no hotlink, but just go to the website and enter that search term.

    She nails so much regarding Obama personally, but also expands the relevance of her topic (and what Mr. Ibrahim writes above) by references to the psychological effect of cognitive dissonance — explaining human beings’ refusal to look clearly at facts — and draw what are obvious conclusions.

    “It’s the religion -stupid”(the famous line) and nothing else that is causing jihadi terrorism which Muslims regard as holy work in the cause of allah and not really terrorism. Until the West is willing the admit it, we cannot succeed in fighting terrorism. West has no guts to call spade a spade as it will directly hold Muslims and Islam responsible for the terror that Muslims are inflicting on the world.

    Revive Clear Thinking and the Jihad Dies

    Not just jihad. As I wrote in another post, more and more people are realizing that obsession with identity politics can lead to no good. The more that happens, the more the left ostracises and excludes them. In the end, the groups doing the ostracising and exclusion will find themselves a small minority, ostracised and excluded by their own actions – they refuse to deal with others because racism, islamophobia and bigotry, so they’ll segregate themselves. Except that, unlike they claim, the “others” are not neo-Nazi-skin heads or white racists – they’re simply people unafraid to call a spade a spade, unafraid of slanderous accusations and armed with facts and data to support their “racist”, “bigoted”, “islamophobic” positions. Not only that, they can’t be brought down or dismissed on moral grounds. And they will find political expression. And then all bets are off.

    The only way to destroy Islam is with men with a back bone. To all the courageous women who have stood up to this Poison; and I can name many, you have great courage but ,it is still the men of this world that who have to do all the heavy lifting and I feel that it is to late for Canada and the west.
    It was just a matter of time that Canada elected a Feminist Girly- Man as leader ,i could see this coming for yrs. as our institutes of learning and Media all went far left with the intent to feminize manhood, and they won.
    Only countries like Russia ,Poland and the Balkans states will have real men to fight Islam.

      I like your determination, SJ, but this is an ideological war, not mano-a-mano. Lawyers, accountants and secret agents will win the war against the Islamic gangsters, but professional soldiers will play a big part in containing it. Soldiers too must be fully schooled in the ideology of jihadism. We are failing because our politicians haven’t a clue about Islam’s political teachings. We are still fighting Islam with one hand behind our back.

      However, I believe we are seeing the gradual start an awakening in the West regarding jihadism. This has started in the last year, spurred by the Paris and Brussels attacks, as well as the Islamic rape campaigns in Europe. Rape is a form of Islamic warfare sacralised by Mohammed.

      Right now, we need people who have read the foundational source texts of Islam and understand their implications. We need people who can begin the process of deprogramming millions of Muslims out of Islam.

      Unfortunately, very few Westerners are willing to put in the time to understand Islamic teachings, so we remain weak and vulnerable.

        Mortimer disagrees with Sandy Jack’s anti-Girly- Man approach.

        However mortimer offers the ‘(intellectual)’ approach as an alternative.
        We can study Islam ad infinitum and impress each other with our knowledge.
        Great!
        When the bloodbath comes, all the profound planners and Muslim point-of-view thinkers will be huddled up in a corner somewhere memorizing Islamic texts hoping to convince jihadi cut-throats that they respect Islam and would consider converting to their ‘great’ religion.

        Either that, or they will spout insane non-sense such as:

        “We need people who can begin the process of deprogramming millions of Muslims out of Islam.”

        I prefer Sandy Jack’s approach as the more realistic.

        “We need people who can begin the process of deprogramming millions of Muslims out of Islam.”

        I disagree. The Muslims are winning this war. They have zero incentive to listen to us.

        What we need are nuclear weapons to destroy, in my military estimate, 21 random targets, 3 days apart in Muslim nations to show the remaining 1.6 Billion Muslims what will happen to the rest of them if they don’t “deprogram” themselves.

        Muslims feel superior to us. Our words are useless. Our superior weaponry will do the talking and convincing first. Only then will they yield to our alternatives to Islam.

        Objective: Worldwide criminalization of Islam. In our Western nations, we pass laws prohibiting the “practice or promotion” of Islam. In Muslim nations, we use nukes to force apostasy on Muslim governments with the same laws we’ve passed in our own nations.

        One target every three days. They’ll get on board with the program real quick.

        If they want to keep their monarchs and dictators, fine. Our job isn’t to force democracy across the World. Neither is our job to force regime change on the 57 Islamic countries (except Iran). The job of our Alliance is simply to force the rest of the World to not want to kill us, with surrender terms that ensure it never happens again.

        Yes, the Muslims say they “love death more than life.” But the Japanese were also tough and determined to die before surrendering. In the end though, even the Japanese got real.

        In the words of General Curtis LeMay, America’s longest serving 4-Star: “Let me tell you what war is about. It’s about killing people. If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting.”

        We need to do this pronto, while we still have the nuke advantage, which won’t last forever. Once Iran has their own nuclear arsenal, they’ll have their own “Fuck you” card, and they know it.

        This is the only solution that will work. The sooner we all get on board with this, the sooner it will all be over.

          You’re right. Our problem is a bureaucracy full of 3 and 4-Star ass-kissers (not all, but most) more interested in their careers than saving the World. All 3 and 4-Stars are approved by the President himself though, so it’s not at all surprising that he’s surrounded himself with sycophants, and we’re losing the war.

          It’s not like he even listens to those guys either though. The DoD is micromanaged by a small group of lawyers in the White House who’ve never worn their country’s uniform, and don’t have the foggiest idea about how to win wars.

          Sadly, we just don’t have leaders like Sherman, Pershing, LeMay, Patton, MacArthur, or so many other examples of real American men and leaders of generations past who had the balls to kill millions and tell the President exactly what he needs to hear.

          Lord help us.

          I know there are hundreds of thousands, or perhaps millions of other Americans who think like you and I do. We need those guys to step forward and lead. NOW.

    Yes, Raymond clear thinking about the doctrine of Islam and sharia law would solve the at least the delusion and the deception. Border control, public education about the doctrine, removal of islamic organizations, sharia lawyers, subversive organizations promoting the fairy tale peaceful image, mosques and financial influence in congress and senate, banks, media and education, refusal of refugees, a redefinition of religion that promotes the seeding of jihad, removal of muslims out of sensitive positions. military, schools, police etc.and be prepared for chaos to follow..all due to the silent subversive government invasion. Then clear heads may prevail. If we survive..that is unless clear thinking gets a pass. Muslims have cohesiveness to remain striving, we need a ton more the same to regain our country..

    There is, of course, also the fact that the Ummah received an ENORMOUS influx of wealth in the form of petrodollars – it has been called the single largest transfer of wealth in human history.

    And that un-earned wealth has been used to bribe and to corrupt politicians, academics, journalists and other agents of influence, and to finance a simply *massive* onslaught of propaganda, far far more than the communist states were ever able to engage in.

    Islam has always engaged in bribery and its opponents – being human all-too-human – have always included those who were open to bribery-and-corruption and blinded by the prospect of personal short-term gain… if that were not the case, Byzantium would not have fallen, for the technology – cannons – that made its fall possible would not have been transferred to the Muslim side.

      Apr 9, 2016 at 6:15 pm

      Agreed.

      Just by accident of geology is why Muslims have so much power. Without the oil wealth, they’d all still be riding camels, living in tents, and shitting in the sand.

      We’re fools to allow people who seek our extinction to control a commodity we need for our survival.

      The World is a tough place. It belongs to the strong, if they have the strategic foresight and stomach to use their strength.

      Apostasy must be the price Muslims must pay if they want to control the oil.

    The growth of jihadism in the last 50 or 60 years, since Palestinian terrorism began and the Khomeinist Revolution started, has been misunderstood by Western elites as people’s struggles against capitalism and colonialism.

    Their conclusion? Europe must be destroyed! This asinine and preposterous conclusion is based entirely on Marxist dialectics.

    The correction is for Western elites to understand jihadism FROM WITHIN by reading the same books as the jihadists and coming to the same conclusions as the jihadists. It is only by thinking like the jihadists that Western elites will be able to defeat them.

    Too simple…too obvious…isn’t it?

    So why aren’t they doing just that? My conclusion is that large numbers of Western elites (politicians, academics, university governors, journalists, civil servants, media owners) are being bribed by Arabian oil money. That is the only thing that explains why Western elites are not fighting jihadism.

    Western elites are selling out their European and American populations in exchange for dirty oil money. They looking away as the jihad proceeds into the heart of European and American cities.

      Wrong again on Marx. Marx did not argue for the destruction of Europe but for the MATURE worker societies of an industrializing to be transformed through WORKER revolutions into socialist societies where the erstwhile exploited workers would usher in a “classless society”. Nothing about destroying European societies.

      But right on the Western elites being accommodating to Islam just for oil money and cash spent by Arabs in the West.

      But what should be noted is that the Left and liberals without wealth just love Islam.

    “Nothing short of an intellectual/cultural revolution- where rational thinking becomes mainstream – will allow the West to confront Islam head on.” I couldn’t agree more Raymond! North America and Europe need another Renaissance and Reformation. It doesn’t seem like an Intellectual/cultural revolution will come from The Universities, though its possible! The Northern Humanist during the Reformation were very interesting people as they traveled around Northern Europe spreading Renaissance Education and Reformation Christianity around Northern Europe. Lets hope that the West wakes up to Their Identity Crises and will some day be able to see through the dark cloud of the Multi Cultural Superstition!

    We’ve definitely gotta solve the pathology and get it into a short easy template in order to protect ourselves from destruction by destroying it first!

    HERE’S SOME CLEAR THINKING:

    All criminals are hypocrites who have to act like masochists in order to play victims to avoid being accused of their crimes.

    The best way to control people (because criminals feel the need to pre-emptively control the potential defensive and retaliatory actions of their victims) is to convince them they can’t manage their own affairs, by seducing them with the devilish temptation that they are always really only helpless victims of someone or something else.

    Victimology is also a great excuse for all your other crimes, because criminality requires free-will intent, and victims are always claiming to be helpless before all sorts of “inevitable” predestined force. They all claim to be victims of “society” (what Marxists call ‘Historical Predeterminism’) and so mere products of their environments, while their equally criminal muslim brethren claim to be helpless yet proud slaves of allah.

    Therefore, to criminals, the only real crime is to accuse a criminal (“victim”) of his crimes.

    Right now, Obama is the most dangerous global criminal because he gets to act out this circular reasoning scenario of masochistic victimology on the world stage.

    I agree with the article in general, but I strongly doubt Mongols were Muslim. The Muslim state of Khorezm was destroyed by Mongols in the XIII century. And, by the way, Kalmyks (one of Mongolian nations living in the South of Russia) are giving a brave example how to deal with Islam. A sportsman from Dagestan who arrived for a wrestling competition to Elista came to a Buddhist temple, urinated there and knocked Buddha’s statue in the nose. He also posted the video in social media, so when the locals saw it, they came to the hotel, dragged the guy out of bed and made him kneel in front of the statue and ask forgiveness. He was then apprehended by the police and will probably be charged for desacration of the temple. https://lenta.ru/news/2016/04/03/elista/

      The people who fought against marxism/communism have all left the field (whether by old age retirement, or sackings) and the substitute team has been trained by the cultural marxists. They have been trained to have no fight in them. The marxists found a weak spot and are now exploiting it ruthlessly.

    For what it’s worth.

    Last year, one of my neighbors was having a problem with another neighbor and his dog. The dog owner is a jerk, and would never leash his dog (pit bull), and the dog did charge at least one time. Here, you have to have 3 people that know the situation and sign to it before animal control will do anything.

    My neighbor couldn’t even get three people to sign a written testimony about a potentially dangerous dog. A dog that could have charged and killed a kid.

    People seem to be so afraid of ‘putting their foot down’ on anything these days. It’s like something is in the water. The atmosphere is one of dissociation. Is it just about ideologies, or even more than that, an overall fear/apathy?

    Raymond is right on point again but I see some of the usual arguments trying to reduce this to a religious contest. This is a dispute between the modern civilization that is built on science and objective values of equality and individual freedom versus the tribal attitudes of group identity, fear, prejudices and customs. We are being bothered by the savages because the recipients of those civilized values have abandoned those values that the tribal cultures have never achieved. The beliefs that are anti-liberty, anti-life and anti-happiness are impotent against consistent opposition.
