The Saudis, and many other Muslims, are ecstatic. Simon Collis, the British ambassador to Saudi Arabia, has just revealed to the world that he has converted to Islam (he did this a few years ago, but it was kept quiet until now). And he this week just completed the Hajj, the first British Ambassador to do so. What makes Muslims so ecstatic is that despite the outward show of believing that they, the Muslims, are “the best of peoples” (Qur’an 3:110), they are also aware of the fact that non-Muslims are none too impressed with Islam. A Western convert, one who comes from the highest levels of Infidel society, helps to validate Islam in Muslim eyes. Allahu Akbar, Our God Is Indeed Greater, when someone like Simon Collis converts.
And it’s especially pleasing when an upper class Westerner, as Simon Collis so obviously is (Christ Church, Cambridge, followed by the Foreign Office) converts not spur-of-the-momentish, but after a a long acquaintance with Muslim societies. On Twitter, Collis confirmed the story: “God bless you. In brief: I converted to Islam after 30 years of living in Muslim societies and before marrying Huda [his Syrian wife].” Add his name to the list of such celebrated Western converts as Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall (translator of the Qur’an), Muhammad Asad (née Leopold Weiss, a journalist, writer, and scholar of Islam), and St. John Philby (adviser to Ibn Saud, and one suspects that his conversion to Islam was not just a useful career move, but a kind of protest against the English establishment, in the same spirit as his son, Soviet spy Kim Philby, would later “convert” to Communism). The reason these converts’ names are known to so many Muslims is because there are so few of them. Now they can add Simon Collis to their shortlist.
What was it Simon Collis saw in Islam that he found so attractive? During 30 years he lived in many Musllm countries, as part of the British embassy staff. He was ambassador to both Syria (2007-2012) and Iraq (2012-2014). What could he possibly have found winning about the Assad family’s murderous regime, or about the even more barbaric Sunnis, including the Muslim Brotherhood, that was trying to overthrow the Assads’ Alawite despotism? What did Collis make of the massacres of the Christians by Muslims in both Syria and Iraq? Of the atrocities visited upon the Yazidis, their men massacred, their women made into sex slaves for Muslim Arabs? In Iraq he surely learned of the Anfal Campaign, in which Muslim Arabs killed 182,000 Muslim Kurds. Might the general Arab indifference to that campaign have had something to do with the Arab supremacism that Islam promotes? Were the Sunni terrorists attacking Shia shrines and mosques and crowds of flagellants during Ashura, or the Shia who blew up Sunnis in retaliation, an edifying spectacle of intra-Muslim harmony for Simon Collis? Or did this observable behavior of Muslim murder and mayhem have nothing to do with Islam?
When he arrived in Saudi Arabia on February 3, 2015, what was it that so impressed Simon Collis with that society? Was it the school textbooks that teach hatred of Christians and Jews? Was it perhaps the swift meting out of Saudi justice, in the no-nonsense execution of Nimr al-Nimr, for the crime of being a Shia cleric and calling for free elections? What else might have impressed him? Was it the 147 public executions in 2015, a new record for the Saudis? Was it the ten years in jail and 2,000 lashes given to a Saudi who simply tweeted his atheistic beliefs? What does Simon Collis think of religious freedom in Muslim countries? Perhaps, now that he’s a Muslim, and possessor of the One True Faith, he really doesn’t care.
What does Simon Collis make of the ongoing bombing campaign by the Saudis in Yemen, where almost all of the victims appear to have been civilians? Does he approve of the Saudi soldiers sent to help the King of Bahrain suppress his majority-Shia population? What does he make of the treatment of foreign workers, some not paid the wages they are due, others physically abused, or even raped, by their Arab masters?
What is it that most impressed Simon Collis about the Qur’an? Was it 2:256? 5:32? Does he know about 5:33? Did he ever bother to read 9:5 or 9:29 or other of the more than 100 “jihad” verses? Of course he did, so what we really want to know is, what did he make of those verses, how has he managed to accept a sanitized version of the Qur’an? And as for Muhammad, the Perfect Man (al-insan al-kamil), the Model of Conduct (uswa hasana), what does Simon Collis make of the Prophet’s approval of the killings of Asma bint Marwan and Abu ‘Afak, merely because they mocked him? What does he think of the killing of the inoffensive Jewish farmers of the Khaybar Oasis by Muhammad and his men, in order to seize their property and women? What does Simon Collis think of the execution of the 600-900 bound prisoners of the Banu Qurayza, while Muhammad looked approvingly on? What does he think about Muhammad and little Aisha? Anything? Nothing?
What does Simon Collis think of what the Muslim invaders did in Hindu India, where they killed up to 80 million Hindus during 250 years of Mughal rule? What does he think of the destruction by Muslims of the Hindu and Buddhist statuary and temple complexes in India, and Pakistan and Bangladesh, over the centuries? What does he make of the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan, where Saudi and Pakistani engineers lent a hand to the Taliban? Or of the destruction of Hindu and Buddhist temple complexes in what is now Indonesia? Or of Sufi shrines and libraries of manuscripts in Timbuktu, by the fanatical Islamists of Ansar Dine?
For celebrity converts, there are financial incentives to become a Muslim, especially in Saudi Arabia. Even a humble Western nurse who worked in Saudi Arabia told me of how her patients had offered her $30,000 if she would convert to Islam (she turned them down). If a nurse is worth that, what would someone at the ambassadorial level be worth? An ambassador from Great Britain? Simon Collis surely was impressed – who is not? – with the fantastic riches of the Saudis, and just as surely knew that once he retired from the Foreign Service, as a celebrity convert he would be assured a well-paid sinecure at some Saudi research center or foundation or university. Wouldn’t that be an inducement to say the Shehada, become a Muslim, and walk widdershins seven times round the Ka’aba which houses the magic wonderstone, as he did, swathed in white, just this week?
Imagine if someone in the Western press were to prepare A List of Questions For Simon Collis, more or less like those you have just been reading, and published it in The Telegraph or The Times or in the Washington Post or The New York Times. Collis wouldn’t– because he couldn’t — respond, but merely putting the questions to him publicly, knowing that his answer can only be an embarrassed silence, would be a salutary exercise, a way to smuggle in some home truths about Muslim societies. And the more that is done, the less likely it is that some other diplomat or public figure in the West will be quite so ready to throw in his dubious lot with Islam, as if it ever could be, morally or in any other way, superior to Western civilization.

Angemon says
His wife, I’d wager.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep.
dumbledoresarmy says
Because one of the rules of Islam is that a Muslim woman can’t marry a non-Muslim man. So if a non-Muslim man wants to marry a delicious Muslimah, he has to convert to Islam first to have any chance of marrying her.
Hilltop Watchman says
Which begs the question of George Galloway and his marriage to a Muslim woman, related to Yasser Arafat no less.

I like that. Shows how insecure and aware of their inferiority Saudis are. Not much of supremacism subconsciously. Did I mention that it makes for conflicted personalities ?
Richard says
Collis was bought in the market like any slave, although his cage will be a gilded one. I predict that the next two decades will reveal many more Western politicians and academics revealing their conversions to Islam as they realize which side the bread is buttered on. The price to buy these traitors is minuscule to the Saudis alone, never mind compared to the staggering wealth of the OIC, and as go the elites so follow the masses.
Tracy Hubbard says
Time to replace.
eduardo odraude says
There are numerous possibilities, but something is definitely wrong with the man.
dumbledoresarmy says
He converted a few years ago, but it was “kept quiet until now”.
The thing is: how can the diplomatic representative of a non-Islamic – putatively non-Islamic – state possibly convert to Islam, and remain in his job, without having a major conflict of interest?
Suppose that in 1940 it had been revealed that a leading American or British diplomat, stationed in Germany, had become not a Nazi sympathiser but a signed-up, card-carrying member of the Nazi party?
Would that not represent a conflict of interest?
Suppose that in 1960 it had been revealed that an American or British ambassador to the USSR was a member of the Communist Party, whether in his own country or in the USSR itself?
Imagine if in the time of the British raj it had been revealed that a high-ranking British officer had become a member of the Thuggee cult?
*That* is the real equivalent of Mr Collis’s now-much-trumpeted joining of the Allah Gang, the Mohammedan Mob, the Army, or Empire, of Islam.
He is, fundamentally, a traitor not only to his own country – which is still, at least nominally and in large part, population-wise, a non-Islamic country – but to the entire Camp of the Infidels, which he is now taught to regard as Dar al Harb, the Region of War.
He is required, now, as a Muslim, to ‘struggle’ for the *overthrow* of the non-Islamic system in his homeland, and the imposition of Muslim dominance and the imposition and enforcement of the sharia of Islam.
Jack Diamond says
“how can the diplomatic representative of a non-Islamic – putatively non-Islamic – state possibly convert to Islam, and remain in his job, without having a major conflict of interest?”
Ask Colin Powell, who was so bent out of shape at the suggestion that if Obama were a Muslim it disqualified him from being President. Muslims are great, he said. Muslims have died wearing the uniform. Why shouldn’t a Muslim be President? He didn’t know the answer to that question. Theresa May surely does not know why the British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia shouldn’t be a Muslim. Nobody here seems to have a problem with John Brennan being director of the CIA, even though he is an alleged Muslim (and why is he never asked the question?). Nobody here seems to have a problem with Huma Abedin’s background or her access to Top Secret Information through her conjoined twin Hillary Clinton.
Simon Collis has enlisted with the enemy. Colin Powell’s pal, Saudi Prince Bandar, one of those great-guy Muslims he liked so much, and very generous to boot, was up to his big fat neck in 9/11. That’s how posterity will remember them. All of them.
Larry says
When Joe Kennedy was Ambassador to the Court of St James and became too overtly pro-Nazi he was recalled by FDR with one of the great telegrams of all time – “Joe, come home, the starlets are missing you”.
May should be recalling this idiot asap, and then handing him his marching orders from the Foreign Office.

And we all know how well *that* turned out. Bai Chongxi–Muslim name Omar–was not exactly a shining success in that position.
He refused to fight the Communists at a critical juncture, and his retreat left the “rice bowl” agricultural region open to them and assured Mao’s coming to power in China. Soon thereafter, Bai Chongxi fled to Taiwan. Is Mazo *sure* he wants to us this figure to convince Infidels that Muslims can be loyal in representing them?
Mazo says
Serial liar cavenmirage lies again.
The Communists took over nearly the entire China in 1949. Chiang Kai-shek wanted to force all the provinces to do a symbolic, useless last ditch stand at the capital in Nanjing which was going to fall so all the provincial armies would be destroyed. Bai and all other provincial leaders wanted to protect their own provinces like Guangxi.
The first Republic of China Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Bai were both World War II Generals and heroes. Is it customary in western nations to insult the generals of allied forces in World War II? Is cravenmirage an Axis sympathizer?

Bai Chongxi was a warlord. He saw opposition to the Japanese as a Jihad, and declared it a religious obligation on all Chinese Muslims to oppose Japan.
At best, he can seen as an ally in the same sense that the brutal Josef Stalin was–opposing Fascism because it was a rival to their own power, not because they actually disagreed with tyranny.
More:

…………………………….
This is just ludicrous–I have voiced many times here my opposition to Fascism. My mother and aunt both served in the British army, and my mother went through the London blitz.
Whereas, Muslims to this day laud Hitler–virtually the only Infidel whom Mohammedans actually admire:
“Germany: Muslims scream “Adolf Hitler” and “Allahu akbar,” make Nazi salute”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/04/germany-muslims-scream-adolf-hitler-and-allahu-akbar-make-nazi-salute
“Hitler honored in upscale mall in modern, moderate Turkey”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/01/hitler-honored-in-upscale-mall-in-modern-moderate-turkey
There are many, many more examples.
The main point–to cut through Mazo’s endless obfuscations–is that Muslims cannot be counted on to consider themselves loyal citizens of any Infidel polity, nor to act in their interests unless it happens to temporarily align with that of the supremacist Ummah.
Mazo says
Cravenmirage lies again
The rice bowl region near Hankow had absolutely nothing to do with the indefensible area where Bai and other provincial commanders refused to gather- the national capital region of Nanjing south of the Huai river.
Any moron can look at a map and figure out cravenmirage is obfuscating two completely different regions and incidents.
Bai didn’t declare Jihad, he wasn’t a cleric, dumbarse. Bai openly denounced Stalin over international radio to all Muslims.
World War II veteran and First Republic of China Ambassor to Saudi Arabia Ma Bufang promoted healthcare, sanitation and industrialization, patronized the Buddhist Panchen Lama and sponsored pagan rituals at a major holy lake.
Bigot and racist Churchill insulted and abused Hindus and starved millions of Hindus to death in the Bengal famine and is regarded as a western hero. Churchill’s war record sucked, he lost France, he lost Malaya and Singapore and was curbstomped until el Alamein. He was voted out of office for his horrible war record and replaced by Labour.

The idea that Winston Churchill–who saved Britain from Fascism–was voted out of office for having *lost the war* is just ludicrous. Has Mazo forgotten that Muslim’s pal Hitler actually *lost*?
But again, it is worth noting that Mazo is sand-throwing hoping that we will forget what this article is all about.
Mazo says
Cravenmirage is lying again.
Bai refused to fight at the Huai river guarding Nanjing.
Bai didn’t refuse to fight at Hankow. The Communists defeated Bai’s forces at Hankow and forced them into retreat in 1949 when they had already taken most of China.
http://content.time. com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,794751,00.html
Bai was not a cleric and had zero authority to declare jihad. He didn’t even come from a heavily Muslim populated province and the Muslims who lived in the heavy concentrations in the northwest had no idea who he was. Bai’s armies were majority non-Muslim. The clerics who declared jihad were from the northwest under the protection of the first ambassador to Saudi Arabia whose armies were majority Muslim.
Cravenmirage forgets to mention tha Clement Attlee and the Labour party crushed Churchill in the 1945 election because of Churchill’s horrible war record of failure on all fronts outside of Britain itself. Churchill’s military leadership was crap and he joked about this himself at El Alamein. American and Soviet forces spearheaded the attack on Europe while Britain suffered humiliating setbacks on the battlefields.

More claptrap from Mazo. His comments on China do not reflect anything I said, so I will pass over them, but I will just address this:
Cravenmirage (sic) forgets to mention tha (sic) Clement Attlee and the Labour party crushed Churchill in the 1945 election because of Churchill’s horrible war record
………………………….
Just ridiculous. The election did not take place until after the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Churchill lost the election because Britain was war-weary and associated him with the war. Labour’s campaign was “Let Us Face the Future”, and they ran a platform of full employment and setting up a welfare state and the NHS. (I consider this last a foolish goal, but that is a separate issue)
Churchill, a conservative, would not have implemented these last two policies.
Churchill was portrayed as “old fashioned”, but no one impugned his war record, which would have failed completely.

خَليفة says
When a non-Muslim converts to Islam (or any other religion), non-Muslims are at most bemused, but don’t take it personally, don’t take it as a theological insult, nor do they feel their faith has been threatened or degraded.
When a Muslim leaves Islam, it angers Allah, it means shaitan, through the Jews and Christians has been spreading corruption. It is an insult to Allah, to Islam and every Muslim. And for that, the apostate must be killed.
Dacritic says

A valid point. someone should pose the question to Collis; “How do you feel about the fact that now as a muslim, if you had second thoughts, or some new revelation, and you decided to give up your muslim faith, you could end up dead, murdered for being an apostate?”
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Moslems at the base are empty and shallow people. Yes, they get the high of holier-than-thou sanctimony, the sex, and the prize winnings from full or partial takeovers of countries. Liberals too at the bases are empty and shallow. So it was a small shift for Collis to move from the stupid and failing ideology of liberalism to an evil expanding belief system of Islam.

This is who we generally refer to as a “traitor”. To his country, to its culture, to rational thought, to decency in general, a traitor.

Just another in a long line of British Arab lovers starting with the most famous: Lawrence of Arabia. This elite sector of British society has had a romance with the Arab world for over a century….Can’t wait to see how Queen Elizabeth looks in a burka…the BBC will be the first to celebrate that cultural makeover!
Gen Jones says
The current CEO of the New York Times came from the BBC. Now the Times is in competition with The Guardian to virtue signal its love of all things Islamic. There isn’t a day without a sympathetic or fawning article on some aspect of Islam on the front page of their website. Old habits die hard I’m afraid, and I feel the need to look at the headlines daily. (I’m never going pay for a subscription) The latest insanity was a video series on the Haj. You can be certain that they would never do a similar series on any Christian celebration or if they did it would be mocking those “bitter clingers.” The cognitive dissonance of the NY liberal taste making elite (the way they think of themselves) fawning over a death cult that would eradicate every cultural highlight the paper writes about in its arts coverage boggles my mind.
davej says
“Financial incentives for conversion” . That and the Muslima girlfriend explains all of this.
Where do they get all this bribery money? Oh yeah, us with our oil addiction.
Islam has no spiritual ambitions, converts are attracted by the legalization of rape and murder, the plunder of others and the “financial incentives”.

Is just human nature to rejoice to see someone from another faith embrace your faith esp if that someone is a celebrity. Happens to both Christian, Islamic or any other faith. But these same happy people remain silent when these newly converted brethen leave their new found faith later on.
Oliver says
Barry K–if one accepts your basic premise -human nature–etc—not (possibly) an issue. However, as posted elsewhere- when ONE LEAVES one’s religion (Christianity; Catholicism, Buddhism, etc)-there might be sadness. The family ( and/or friends) might be unforgiving. But, RARELY (VERY RARELY) is the one who left murdered.
Yet in Islam, i doubt that if a celebrity left, he would live for very long- especially if not in a place like the US.
Look at the “celebrity” killed by her brother, (in Pakistan, recently) -she didn’t leave Islam, but ‘ brought dishonor” or some such crap.

Waleed El Nemr says
The proof is out there, Laura. I don’t know where to start from all the lies and deception. All Hugh Fitzgerald had to do is research with an open mind. But clearly, this is not his interest. The Quran was revealed to the Prophet during the course of a 13 year period. The verses at many times address specific situations in history and must be read, taking into account this historical setting. Verses can’t just be quoted like that and taken out of context, as he did. Similarly, his bashing of the prophet – most of these incidents are historically incorrect and Muslims don’t believe in them anyway the way they have been portrayed in this article. Mainstream Islam is about peace and mercy and perfecting one’s morals and character. That’s what the Prophet taught us. The fact that there are idiots like ISIS, who are committing crimes in the name of Islam, does not mean Islam is about terror. ISIS is. The fact that there are societies oppressing women in the Middle East and other places does not mean Islam is about that. Did you guys visit Malaysia? Turkey? Indonesia? Are you even interested to learn?

Waleed, grow up and be a man and study your religion thoroughly. It’s not a game of words!
You have been conditioned like with fire, since a very young age, with pain and punishment if you didn’t follow your religion, and repeat like mantra-“Islam is the religion of peace, love and mercy”, “Islam is the religion of peace, love and mercy”! Where is the love, peace and mercy, throughout Islam’s 1400 hundred years history. What about the millions, or probably billions, slaughtered during its conquering lands, nations and entire civilizations, from all of north Africa, the Roman empire, Persia, the Balkans, the Caucasus, India, Indonesia and all others in between.
Why it’s the same or almost the same story, wars, civil unrest, vigilante justice, social upheavals, instability, endemic disregard for basic human rights, in all Muslim countries- Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria, Mali, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and the rest?
Wake up and study about how belief systems are formed, fortified and strengthened with repetition, neuro-linguistic programming, the role of pain and pleasure in shaping human beliefs and behaviors, conditioning, and social behaviors.
In addition revisit and study thoroughly the Quran, hadiths and sunna, early and contemporary Islamic history, approaching them with an open mind, seeking only the truth in all honesty with yourself.
It’s your duty to do all of the previous, if you’re really interested in knowing the truth and defending your beliefs in a truly rational and honest way.

Maybe he saw something different than all the trash and misguided information in this article. Maybe there is more to Islam than the hateful and disgusting comments that have been posted. Really people, educate yourselves instead of writing stuff like that.
……………………………..
Most of us are quite well educated about the horror of Islam, and are familiar with the texts and tenets of Islam, as well as its violent history.
Notice that Waleed does not bother to say what Hugh Fitzgerald supposedly got wrong.
More, in reply to Laura:
The proof is out there, Laura. I don’t know where to start from all the lies and deception. All Hugh Fitzgerald had to do is research with an open mind. But clearly, this is not his interest. The Quran was revealed to the Prophet during the course of a 13 year period. The verses at many times address specific situations in history and must be read, taking into account this historical setting. Verses can’t just be quoted like that and taken out of context, as he did.
……………………………..
What claptrap. The diktats of the Qur’an are not merely historical, but are considered to be good for all time. That is why pious Muslims are marrying little girls, raping Infidel women, and slaughtering unbelievers all over the world in the name of their foul creed.
More:
Similarly, his bashing of the prophet – most of these incidents are historically incorrect and Muslims don’t believe in them anyway the way they have been portrayed in this article.
……………………………..
What exactly did Hugh Fitzgerald get wrong? Of course, Waleed cannot point to anything. He just takes issue with our not lauding a warlord, pedophile, caravan-raider, rapist, and mass-murderer, as pious Muslims do.
More:
Mainstream Islam is about peace and mercy and perfecting one’s morals and character. That’s what the Prophet taught us.
……………………………..
Alas, the perfecting of morals and character in Islam include such things as beating one’s wife and waging Jihad against the “filthy Infidels”…
More:
The fact that there are idiots like ISIS, who are committing crimes in the name of Islam, does not mean Islam is about terror. ISIS is. The fact that there are societies oppressing women in the Middle East and other places does not mean Islam is about that.
……………………………..
Violent Jihad and the oppression of women is practiced in every part of Dar-al-Islam. No Muslims have opposed the Islamic State on Islamic grounds. And how could they? ISIS is perfectly Islamic.
More:
Did you guys visit Malaysia? Turkey? Indonesia?
……………………………..
Are you referring to the oppression of Christians in Malaysia, the imposition of brutal Shari’ah law in Aceh in Indonesia, and the ugly resurgence of Islam under Erdogan in Turkey? That’s all very edifying, I’m sure…
More:
Are you even interested to learn?
……………………………..
Most of us have learned more than we ever wanted to know about this vile creed.
More:
The truth is that there is another side that has been left out by this hateful blog and this is the reason Simon Collis, as well as many other converts, embraced Islam.
……………………………..
The implication that Infidels convert to Islam in order to prove its peacefulness is just ludicrous. Many converts turn to Islam in prison, drawn by its condoning of violence, and many Western converts have gone off to fight for the Islamic State.
andy from the cross says

Right, Andy. If you consider this blog an education on Islam, then you’re definitely in the wrong place.

“Maybe there is more to Islam than the hateful and disgusting comments that have been posted. ”
You weren’t thinking straight when you wrote this, were you?
Rob says
“…Maybe there is more to Islam than the hateful and disgusting comments that have been posted…”
“Hateful and disgusting” are reasonable adjectives to describe Islam’s injunctions, admonishments and teachings.
However one may try to dress it up, the proof of Islam’s antisocial, oppressive nature is everywhere to be seen.
Muslims’ claim that the hoards of “protesting” hate-speakers shouting “British Government – Go To Hell” don’t represent Islam, is contradicted by their own non-performance in counter-demonstrating against these mobs.
It’s also clear in the number of wife-beatings, clitorectomies, forced marriages and honour-killings which occur almost exclusively within the Muslim communities outside the Middle East.
By all means, reform Islam from within, until it can really claim to be a religion of peace… put a stop to the horrid customs and practices; and get rid of the many hate-spewing imams in Western lands; and we might begin to trust that you’re an honest broker.
But good luck trying… You’ll likely not survive; and we’ll be back arguing about how to bring education to those within Islam.

Recall, from the Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum:
“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [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 religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

t. says
APF, Mubarak is talking about being educated in the traditional way, going to a so called “an institute of higher education”, or “an institution of leftest brain washing”, as others may call it.
Cultivated in a culture that is gradually drifting away from the truth, knowing anything about history and the values that many of our fathers grand fathers stood and died for, merely a generation ago. A culture full of itself that is totally is ignoring realty and all information about it, captured by their five senses.
What I mean by culture here, is the majority of people living in the west, the aggregate of their ways, thinking patterns, the order of their values and the patterns of their thinking and decision making. Of course it does not include the really enlightened people, who have their priorities straight and their values in the right order in life, know the truth about Islam, and do their best to resist it and its creeping to dominate and conquer the west.

Waleed says
I beg to differ with you, Mubarak. If an educated and cultivated man like Simon Collins embraced Islam, it is because he saw the truth in Islam and saw something beyond the lies and deceptions that have been posted in this blog with all the hateful comments that followed. The so-called “pointed” questions of Hugh are nothing more than issues taken completely out of context. I challenge Hugh Fitzerald to pose these questions to learned Muslim scholars, such as Hamza Yusuf or Yassir Qhadi, so that he (and the readers) can have an understanding of the truth instead of a distorted and twisted version of it. That is, of course, if anyone is interested in the truth in the first place.

Mark Swan says
Any hate group which has come out of centuries of the same
beliefs, that hangs onto the source of what is behind that
hate, should not be taken lightly…but it is exactly the fact that
many seem to take it serious enough on the whole, for what
It is…just because someone does not display openly what they
have to base their beliefs on…does not mean they will not, at the
very least be empathetic with others who act on it.
These moderate Muslims seem to exist, so We observe this,
do We feel anyone who can read and has read the Quran
and is ok with it, can be something other than Islamic.
Do We expect anyone who is not a Muslim, but has read the
Quran, to understand, how someone who knows what is in the
Quran, can keep Saying they are Muslim.
In this age of Islam spreading aggressively, are we going to hope
moderate Muslims, can water down the very essence of Islam which
is about control plane and simple…are we to think the big players
in this are naive and vulnerable, or maybe ok with this—what.
Muslims who have accepted lying as a way of life, being those who have the Quran for a source of morality, know it says they can lie. Do You refuse to read the Quran.
Your affecting light hearted conversation with those who have read the Quran, and know the intent of Islam is about control, nothing less, and all of its followers, know that they are required to wage Jihad on all those that are not Muslim, plainly written in the Quran.
Muslims can not let up on Jihad until everyone is conquered by Islam.
Taking Islam lightly; we are talking of a very organized and real centuries old movement, that has always had its heart set on conquering the world, with real resources, determination, co-workers and perceived opportunity now behind it.
So even though only a few hundred million admit they support Jihad, ok, now you can go ahead and ignore the lying factor, and realize this is a huge movement.
We here know Islam and its intent for power makes it an insurgency prepared under the guise of religion for theocratic rule—we realize that subversive exploit of all manner is being unleashed through our free society.
The Islam movement has it’s star leadership—we all know it by its name.
The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928 in Egypt, an organization that established Islam as a modern movement. It was, and remains to this day the ideological heart of all the later Islamic groups.
Firstly, focus – for now –to come to terms with a political left which has totally lost its moral compass and political bearings. Islam has embedded the strategic effort of divide and conquer , and with a working goal, that seeks to meld with certain movements, and beyond that, exchange Islam, in the place of the former left’s territory—that is their hope.
Islam such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Hammas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime do not hide their goal –the re-constituting of democratic societies and their replacement by a sharia-based dictatorial rule. All Muslim Nations support this.
In the mind of Islam, the Democracy way of life, constitutes, rebellion against obedience to Islam, It has to be changed. Total obedience must be to the orders and prohibitions of Islam’s Law. The Islamic belief is that allowing people political and personal freedom amounts to heresy.
It is astonishingly so troublesome, that, the political left has enabled Islam, it is so disturbing how they have fell in with such fellowship—but they have—no news there—yet.
With the left resisting anything conservative, it will not recognize Islam hating constitutional freedom as wrong—not yet.
Multiculturalism has been the Ideal for so long, that any criticism of any group, is not acceptable unless it is the group (s) that the “In People” say is ok to criticize. If this is allowed to continue we will not be able to share any honest, open and diverse opinions of our own—we may even accept a warped collective mindset.
Islam’s threat to our personal freedom is not a point of discussion in academia nor any public forum of any kind—this is a strong political fail-safe for Islam to enjoy—for now—that is changing.
There is no other active anti-Democracy movement like Islam.
You can not be for Islam, and against Fascism.
Islam is about Islam—but does not have the wherewithal for a free people.
In Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, Austria, and Sweden, too, the popularity of populist, anti-EU, anti-migrant so called right-wing parties is on the rise…Many fear the eventual failure of the lethargic, integrated, globalized, supranational state that is the EU, and the rise of Nationalist Regimes which could form their own Alliance, and many others seem to welcome this change right now. This alliance is a very real possibility, with Germany leading, and would welcome the Eastern Europeans and others as well.
The rest of the free World will be in a similar flux concerning there National interests

If the West was more careful with its own moral hygiene and e.g. stopped the war on boys and masculinity (Christina Hoff Sommers), it wouldn’t be so susceptible to these opportunistic Islamic infections.
The wrestling event in Munich was probably an American and feminist inspired, inter-gender wrestling event, where no distinction is made between boys and girls, so how could the refugee from Afghanistan tell the difference?
Not that an “interference” with a girl would be that much better, but it would assert
some higher degree of normality although misdirected and criminal. –

Years ago when I was about 9ish, my mother met a man while she was on vacation in the UK. This man was an American who had been living in Saudi Arabia for years (and was able to work there). This man stayed with us briefly, and I knew there was something deeply troubling about him (he was mean to our cat).
My mother finally (thank goodness) broke off the relationship when the man’s ex-wife contacted her and informed my mother that this person had raped and impregnated his own daughter, and that this was a good part of the reason why he was living in Saudi Arabia.
I can picture this man smiling in much the same way in a photo as Simon Collis, above.
If Simon Collis is a misogynist pedophile who has enjoyed living under the cover of Dar-Al-Islam all these many years, a financial incentive to officially join the political/religious movement is just icing on the cake. I have never met Mr. Collis, but I think it unlikely that a normal human being with empathy for fellow man in place could stomach living in Islamic countries for 30 years…

Hugh Fitzgerald says
A few more of those Nazi war criminals who happily converted to Islam (I’ve cut-and-pasted a short list):
Johann von Leers, the best known of Nazi converts to Islam. Published in the newspaper “Die Judenfrage”, the article presented Judaism and Islam in terms of Hegel’s thesis and antithesis: “The hostility of Muhammad towards the Jews had a consequence: the Oriental Jews were totally paralyzed. If the rest of the world had adopted a similar policy, we would not have the ‘Jewish question’. Islam has made an eternal service to the world by preventing the conquest of Arabia by the Jews.”
One of the leaders of the “Jewish Affairs” in Galicia, Altern Erich, converted to Islam and took the name of “Ali Bella” in Egypt, where he trained Palestinian terrorists.
Leopold Gleim was known through his original name as a head of the Gestapo in Poland, but became “Ali al- Nahar” at the service of the Egyptian dictator Nasser.
Oskar Dirlewanger, after killing tens of thousands of Jews in the Ukraine, became the bodyguard of the Egyptian dictator.
Dr. Heinrich Willerman, famous for some of the most atrocious experiments at Dachau, and directed the terrorist “Camp Samarra” in Egypt.
After having “liquidated” the Warsaw ghetto, Kurt Baurnann joined the Ministry of War in Cairo and trained the Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Rene Guenon (1186-1951) is also an interesting convert to Sufism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Gu%C3%A9non
His view sees materialist decay in the West, beginning with the decline of Christianity commencing in the 14th Century, as opposed to Hinduism and Islam which still retain residues of primordial tradition.
However one may view Guenon, himself, his dichotomy is actually present in Dr. Sebastian Gorka’s analysis of the Jihad, in that the West must fight for something, but doesn’t seem to know what that is, and will continue to lose until it does.
Oliver says
1186-1951? 765 years? there must be a mistake somewhere.
Jack Diamond says
he didn’t look a day over 500. Much too esoteric to actually die (but he literally did). Guenon had no use for the West (or the modern world–nor does Islam, finally) and turned his back on it. He died an Egyptian citizen with the name “Allah” on his lips. A Rene-gade, like Collis, even if not a crudely materialistic one.
What do you say about a truth-seeker who ends up a Muslim? It is disqualifying. The same reason you might pass-over reading Heidegger once you learned that when it counted, in the time he lived, all his profound wisdom just led him to Nazism.
In fact, the Nazis had a surprise coming concerning the presumed fatal weakness and degeneracy of their foes. One hopes Islam will, sooner than later, have the same surprise coming.

Re: “Why do liberals put up with (and even convert to) islam?” Because they are MASOCHISTS – always trying to “control” their fears, BY causing the very pains they most fear!
And, since they secretly know they’re the ones causing it, they have to deflect others’ attention away from that fact of their criminal negligence, BY slanderously blaming their victims.
When liberals plan to fail, the symptoms are that they seem to fail to plan.
Yet by exploiting the infinite symptoms of ignored problems, they always “fail upwards” because turning simple, temporary problems with easy, permanent solutions into “Eternal Crises” they can offer endless bandaid therapies in stead; i.e: “Please Give Generously – AGAIN!” The negligent criminal’s motto is:
“There’s No Money In Solutions!” Whee!
Libtarded virtue-signalling immoral relativism/subjectivism/hypocrisy is really a criminally (i.e: intentionally) negligent THREAT – you can’t pretend to split the difference between good and evil, and even the attempt outs you as being part of that evil.
Libs can claim to be non-compus-mentis all they want (“all facts are really only opinions! Whee!”) but either way, since they deny they have any real responsibilities to others to obey the Golden Rule of Law and not attack first, they ARE attacking first!
And this one just proudly announced he’d been a secret member of the global crime-gang called islam while still getting his national paycheck – obviously he’s a traitor and should be treated as such by his (former) government, no-longer-great Britain.
Just lock them all up!
Rob says
“…And it’s especially pleasing when an upper class Westerner..//..converts …//… after a a long acquaintance with Muslim societies…”
Anyone who understand the principles of democracy and who’s lived in the West; and who really understands the tenets and injunctions of Islam; and has seen its adherents in action, to convert INTO Islam, merely demonstrates that a solid university education cannot guarantee that one will not make stupid, irrational decisions in later life.
Whatever compelling reasons he claims prompted his years-ago conversion, one must wonder at the REAL incentives…
I guess these will eventually come to light; and though they might even be shocking, few will be surprised.

That islam is an absolute evil can not be refuted by the fact that a British,may be an ambassador (,and yes,in Soudi Arab) finds it convenient to ’embrace ‘ islam . It does not require a great wisdom and scholastic effort to see behind the veil. A good reading of the history of islam and some acquaintance with the vile book Koran ,can help to see the Islamic ways in correct perspective .Anyone who has such an understanding of islam can confirm with confidence that the motive to convert to islam now is plain and simple greed..for money and carnal pleasure that Collis have been able to garner from the Arab masters( yes, Arabs will remain his masters …..forever . ). But the publicity will do some damage,of course. However,islam is not going to change. The war against the kafir,or infidel, is on. And the likes of Waleed are doubly active …..living as dangerous parasites in the West….and eating its innards as parasites do. The West must understand by now that no apologetic muslim can be trusted. Even their holy book has blocked the way for the kafir to believe any and every muslim,thanks to the ‘religious’ doctrine of ‘Taqiyya’. What a wonderful ideology to be called a ‘religion’ !!!!
Today or tomorrow , the West must have to see the reality. Barak ‘Hussein’ Obamas are coming out from their well maintained disguises as can be seen in the last public outburst urging their ‘Brotherhood'( as American voters), with the fangs showing, to “‘continue the legacy that I (‘ Hussein ‘) have started from 2008”.
It is war upon us , the non-muslims ,everywhere . A war with no respite. The West can deny it as a ‘politically correct’ step only to its peril. But then, fools are never sympathized !! The West will get none to shed a drop of tear remembering the wonderful civilisation it engendered only to be destroyed by muslims under the islamic hegemony that the foolish Whites( remember Collis ) themselves allowed to grow in their own soil .
