    I HAVE WATCHED MANY OF JAMIE GLAZOV’S VIDEOS —- AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST — IF NOT THE VERY BEST BECAUSE DR. GORKA PLACES JIHAD WHERE IT ACTUALLY BELONGS:

    AS A WEAPON IN A TOTALITARIAN SYSTEM (COMPLETELY DEVOUT ACTIVE ISLAM) — JUST AS COMMUNISM AND NAZISM ARE MANIFESTATIONS OF TOTALITARIAN CONTROL AND SUPREMACY.

      YES
      You are grammatically correct to capitalize that first word “I”.

    Ronald Reagan, Margret Thatcher, Pope Paul II. Not to forget Gorbatjov and Boris Jeltsin and others..
    Changing the oppression haunting Russia and countires from the Baltic to tha Balkan and the free world as today islam is the threat,
    Where are the leaders being able to stop the threat to the free world of today?
    There are good ones. But not yet in the position like the ones mentioned above.
    Needed before it is too late.
    Up to the leaders and the peoples of Europe and the U.S.A. to choose and of course to the leading political parties.
    Not that strong leaders yet. Looking forward to.

    Some months ago, Gorka tweeted about good Saudi Sunnis.
    I responded that “Saudi allies ARE good Sunnis. VERY good, strict, salafist Sunnis”.
    He came back with, “We have a different definition of “good.” Mine is: “Good for US.””

    So long as that mentality persists–and is regurgitated–the general public will remain ignorant about the subject.

    Copied from the link — (Defeating Jihad: The Winnable War)

    “Who is the enemy? Why are we fighting?—remain unanswered, victory is impossible.

    Yet this war is eminently winnable if we remove our ideological blinders, accurately name our enemy, and draw up a strategy to defeat him. “

    That was slightly disappointing in terms of the amount of rigourous thought concerning the threat doctrine analysis (ThDA) and the plan conceived to stop jihad—which is merely a tactic and a means to an end. Dr. Gorka complains at 8:38,

    Where’s the Long Telegram for the jihadi threat? We still still haven’y one 15 years into this war.

    However, Gorka noted earlier that the Long Telegram had been kept secret. So how does he know that such a doc has not been written and distributed to people with the security clearance required by its level of classification? Well, he doesn’t. Instead, he’s assumed that such a ThDA would be available to him if it exists and has been distributed.

    His three-part plan, too, has a shortcoming which ought to elicit a laugh. He said that we need to…

    Empower our Sunni partners and allies in the region. [part 2 of the plan]

    Well, how thoughtful of him to include the perps in his plan to stop jihad—which is a tactic hard wired into the fabric of Sunni Islam, too.

    If I were inclined to be very charitable, I would believe that he’s not really sharing the real plan but, instead, just snippets of tactics developed from that plan. This would lead me to believe that alleged part #2 is evidence of a strategy to divide Muhammadists along sectarian lines. Unfortunately, part #3 gives no indication of how to defeat the empowered Sunnis once we’ve done their work of eliminating shi’atu Ali. Further, the sectarian divide in Islam is quite vast already. So, I won’t extend any of the aforementioned charity.

    This would be a good moment to state the enemy—which is NOT Islam or even jihad—which is just an ancient tactic of Islam. In reality, the enemy is each and every Muhammadist, just as the enemy, when dealing with communism, is each and every communist. Of course, some commies are the leaders and others are followers. Some commies are the knaves, and the others, useful idiots. These distinctions point the way to differwg different tactics for dealing with each, (e.g. kill the shepherds and give fresh grass to the sheep.) Nevertheless, where there is no commie, Marxism and other communist ideas are a dead letter.

    Just so, where there are no Muslims, the Koran and Hadith are dead letters. Failure to understand this is a prescription for defeat by the Muhammadists. So the correct strategy for defeating jihad is to extirpate Islam from the world.

      So the correct strategy for defeating Islam is to extirpate Islam from the world by reducing the number of Muslims to zero.

      1. See my post at 1:21pm.

      2. Yes, like an unused, loaded gun, Qur’an is harmless. Unless thrown, or tripped over, or the like, it can’t do or cause physical harm. That’s where Muslims come in.

    Here is a review of Dr. Gorka’s book on Amazon:
    88 of 106 people found the following review helpful
    2.0 out of 5 stars What about defeating the Civilizational Jihad???, April 7, 2016
    By
    Amazon Customer

    This review is from: Defeating Jihad: The Winnable War (Hardcover)
    I just finished reading the book; and as I suspected, Dr. Gorka’s whole approach to jihad is based on a poor understanding of Islam and jihad. Therefore, his solution is no solution at all.

    1) Dr. Gorka focuses much too narrowly on ISIS. ISIS is only the tip of the iceberg. The Islamic threat goes far beyond ISIS and al Qaeda.

    2) Dr. Gorka asserts that only ISIS poses a “direct existential threat ” to America and the whole of Western Civilization (p.120). This is just false. ISIS poses a threat of committing murders periodically, such as the Boston Marathon, San Bernadino, Paris, Brussels, etc., but that is not anywhere near an existential threat. Even al Qaeda’s massive destruction of 9/11 was not an existential threat, and, so far, ISIS has not come anywhere even close to that. If there is a military existential threat from the Moslem world, it is the form of an EMP weapon launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran, which country he scarcely alludes to, and even when he does, he calls it “Iran”, not by its correct name, “The Islamic Republic of Iran.” We could bomb ISIS out of existence relatively quickly if our president only had the will to do it. The Islamic Republic of Iran presents a far greater danger to us than ISIS because it possesses an enormous military capability including intercontinental ballistic missiles which will soon be outfitted with nuclear warheads. The Islamic Republic constantly proclaims “Death to America” and “Death To Israel”.

    3) Dr. Gorka defines the enemy as “the ideology of takfiri jihad”, “the ideology of takfirism” (p.123). What in the world is that? Takfirism is only the declaration by some religious Moslems that other Moslems are not true Moslems. That is NOT the ideology we are fighting. In fact, that doctrine actually helps us by dividing the Moslem world and weakening it.

    4) Dr. Gorka, just like Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama, insists that we are not at war with Islam (p.129). Here, he is conflating two concepts which must be kept separate: Islam and the Practice of Islam (or Moslems, or The Moslem World). Islam is NOT equal to the Practice of Islam. Islam is NOT the same as the Moslem world or “all Moslems”. Of course, we are not at war with the Moslem world, in general. Islam, however, is the Koran (considered the literal word of Allah), the sacred sayings of Muhammad, and Sharia Law. That is Islam, and it does not come in different forms, even though Moslems may come in different degrees of religiosity and observance. Understood properly as the sacred texts, Islam does not come in moderate or radical forms. Islam is what it is. It is Islam that declared war on us and all non-Moslems 1400 years ago because the sacred texts stemming from that time are filled with sacred declarations of war against us. These sacred commands for Moslems to make war on non-Moslems are taught and preached, to one degree or other, in every mosque in the world, not only in Saudi Arabia or the lands under the control of ISIS. That is what jihad is all about. Islamic religious authorities define jihad as “to war against non-Muslims”. That is the essence of Islam as ideology, and it comes straight from the Koran. ISIS did not make it up. Therefore, while Dr. Gorka insists that we are not at war with Islam, Islam is very definitely at war with us; and, either we fight that war, or we lose. Dr. Gorka makes a big deal out of correctly defining our enemy, but then he utterly fails to correctly define it. Our enemy is, indeed, Islam, even if not all Moslems. Since Dr. Gorka likes the analogy with the totalitarian ideologies of Fascism, Nazism and Communism, he should remember that we were not at war with all Germans or all Japanese or all Russians, either.

    5) Because Dr. Gorka misunderstands who, exactly, our enemy is, he totally misses the true existential threat from Islam. That is the so-called “civilizational jihad”, the “stealth jihad”. ISIS gets all the attention because of its sensationalist new methods of torturing people to death, but ISIS is only the very tip of the Islamic threat. The “civilizational jihad” is laid out clearly in the documents of the Muslim Brotherhood which were captured some years ago by the FBI. Here is their program for America: “The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan (the Muslim Brotherhood) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s (Allah’s) religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

    The “civilizational jihad”, like all wars, are conducted on many fronts and in many ways, not only on the battlefield. There are two major aspects to the “civilizational jihad”: a) the demographic jihad, and 2) subversion. Muammar Gaddhafi of Libya once said: “We will conquer Europe without firing a shot”. Other Islamic religious authorities have said the same thing. They are right! There are about 50 million Moslems in Europe now, and more are being brought in all the time. They reproduce far faster than the European population, they build their own enclaves, they do not assimilate to European values, they vote as a decisive swing bloc for the Social Democrats, and they are much more a part of the Muslim World than they are of Europe. The same thing is happening here in America. That is the demographic jihad which threatens to permanently change the population of our non-Moslem countries. The subversive jihad, spearheaded by the Muslim Brotherhood and its hundreds of front groups such as CAIR, MSA, and many others, involves getting Moslems into positions of influence in every governmental institution from dog catcher to the White House, plus schools, universities, etc. It involves subverting the Christian and Jewish clergy through “interfaith” events in favor of Islam as just another religion and of Moslems as innocent victims of discrimination. That, in essence, is the existential threat to us from Islam, and Dr. Gorka, except for a fleeting mention on p.140-141, seems blissfully unaware of it because all he can see is ISIS and al Qaeda.

    On p.144, Dr. Gorka ends the substantive body of his text with the call to spend billions of dollars supporting “Muslim reformers” in their “ideological war to delegitimize the message of holy war against the infidel and bolster modern interpretations of Islam.” On p. 150, Dr. Gorka speaks of making “their (King Abdullah of Jordan and President Sisi of Egypt) modern version of Islam the dominant version.” But, they do not have a “modern version” of Islam! They simply prohibit much of the application of standard Islam/Sharia law, and they prohibit it by force. Dr. Gorka’s use of the terms “modern interpretations of Islam” and “modern version of Islam” shows a fatally flawed understanding of Islam. Remember, Islam is the Koran + Muhammad, and they cannot be reformed. They are what they are. Therefore, there can be no “modern interpretations” of Islam or “modern version of Islam”, and those Moslems who would very much like to reform Islam are considered apostates because Allah specifically forbids any notion of reform. The “Muslim reformers” do not stand a chance against the Islamic religious authorities no matter how much money we give them. Therefore, supporting them is NOT a solution to the Islamic threat.

    Dr. Gorka almost sees the light on p.150 where he says that “every American should own a Koran.” But, owning it is not sufficient. Everyone should read it, and everyone should understand that our Islamic enemies are just following the Koran which is taught and preached in every mosque in the world. Everyone should also understand that the “Muslim reformers” want to get rid of large portions of the Koran, although they will never say so openly. So, instead of reading Dr. Gorka’s book in order to understand the Islamic threat to our civilization, everyone should read the Koran.
    A lot more could be said about Dr. Gorka’s faulty assumptions about the Islamic threat and, therefore, about the ineffectiveness of his proposed solutions, but this review is already way too long. Sorry about that.

    A devout Muslim, who by definition, believes that Mohammed was the perfect Muslim, not the oxymoron “radical Muslim”, is mentally equipped to do the violent and/or non-violent outer jihad, i.e., advance of Islam, which is an act of war against all that We The People have died for and all we the living patriots hold dear.

    Suggested internet/Google searches: “oxymoron”, “radical Islam oxymoron”, “moderate Muslim oxymoron”

    Any advance of Islam is an act of war because the end result of the successful advance of Islam is the same end result achieved when Muslims win an all out war with non-Muslims.

    Speech jihad apparently prevents the existence of a correct word for the transition of a Muslim into a stage of doing violent jihad.
