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

A Proposed Trump Doctrine Against Islamic Supremacism

Dec 27, 2016 8:52 am By Jamie Glazov

December 25 marked the 25th anniversary of the collapse of the Soviet Union. On this occasion, it is urgent for us to reflect on 3 key lessons that the fall of the Evil Empire provided. They are lessons that the new incoming Trump administration must put into action immediately vis-à-vis our enemy in the terror war.

Lesson #1: Go on the Offense Against Islamic Supremacism

While we know that the Soviet Union collapsed, on many realms, from within, the record is clear that President Reagan also fueled the collapse. By moving against détente and beyond containment, Reagan’s aggressive anti-communism saw the U.S. take on a strategic offensive against the Soviet Union which led to victory. As Paul Kengor has documented in his book, The Crusader, Reagan fought not to just contain, but to win. His administration’s massive defense build-up, support of anti-communist rebels around the world, support of dissident movements behind the Iron Curtain, promotion of SDI, and many other aggressive policies put a heavy pressure on the Soviet Union that ultimately broke its already fragile legs.

Thus, we see how in our present-day conflict with Islamic Supremacism, we need to go on the offensive. In order to do that, we must first take two crucial steps. The first step is to name the enemy; the second is to formulate an actual doctrine against him. As Sebastian Gorka urges in Defeating Jihad, the U.S. government needs to lay down a vision, an actual “threat doctrine analysis” in a thorough document, just like George Kennan’s Long Telegram and NSC-68 did in laying out the strategic foundation to fighting communism in the Cold War. The new incoming Trump administration, therefore, must articulate a threat doctrine analysis and then shape it into a Reagan-like doctrine of offense.

Lesson #2: Deceive the Totalitarian Enemy into Being Pluralistic

In Reagan’s War, Peter Schweizer revealed how the Reagan administration cleverly promoted the process of change within the Soviet Union towards a more pluralistic political and economic system. This was a brilliant approach, seeing that Gorbachev’s policies of Glasnost and Perestroika clearly triggered communism’s collapse.

Henry Kissinger has shrewdly delineated how Gorbachev’s effort to reform, as well as to salvage, Soviet communism was the very ingredient that fueled its disintegration. Indeed, once Moscow ended its total and intrusive control of its satellites, and once it allowed free discussion, it signed its own death warrant. Gorbachev wanted to de-Stalinize, yet he could not do so without destroying the regime itself. Kissinger writes:

Gorbachev’s gamble on liberalization was bound to fail. To the degree that the Communist Party had lost its monolithic character, it became demoralized. Liberalization proved incompatible with communist rule — the communists could not turn themselves into democrats without ceasing to be communists, an equation Gorbachev never understood.

To be sure, the whole idea of de-Stalinization was based on the assumption that the Soviet regime could survive without its despotic component; that it could endure a reconciliation with its past. But a legitimate examination of the causes of Stalinism could not occur without an uncensored evaluation of Leninism, which the Soviet system could not allow without risking the de-legitimization of its entire foundation.

This is a crucial lesson for our leadership in the terror war. But first, let us be clear: we must not buy into Natan Sharansky’s naive assumption that all people want freedom. They do not, especially Sharia-believers. The dark consequences of the so-called “Arab Spring” taught us this painful lesson well, as we witnessed the process of “democratization” in the Middle East lead to a totalitarian Islamist Winter.

But this does not mean that we do not heed one of Sharansky’s profound implications: that we must follow Reagan’s example of undermining the enemy by encouraging certain tyrannical entities to behave like pluralists. There is huge potential in nudging tyrants to open up free discussion and to hold their terror back – for freedom and spoken truth have a corrosive effect on tyranny’s chains. Indeed, just imagine, for instance, if leaders within the Islamic world started showing off how pluralistic they were and began allowing a free and honest discussion on the ingredients of their prophet Mohammed’s life.

Lesson #3: Verbally Take the Moral High Ground

In his June 1982 speech before the British House of Commons, President Reagan announced that he had a long-term plan “which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history.” The next year, on March 8, 1983, he famously called the Soviet Union the “Evil Empire.” Four years later, in June 1987, he challenged Gorbachev to “tear down” the Berlin Wall. All of these pronouncements were crucial in the U.S. strategy of defeating Soviet communism. They upped the stakes and achieved moral clarity. They cut the dividing line between the good guys and the bad guys, and they called out the Soviets for the evil oppressors that they were. In so doing, these pronouncements also made it clear that the future was not on the Soviets’ side.

William F. Buckley, Jr. profoundly noted that by calling the Soviet Union the “Evil Empire,” Reagan had formulated the galvanizing summation to Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago and, consequently, “the countdown for Communism began then.” And indeed, two years after challenging Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall, the wall came down.

The lesson here for the new incoming president is that the moral difference between our side and Islamic Supremacism must be spoken. The divide must be drawn in no uncertain terms.

President Trump can be most effective in this regard by bringing attention to all the victims of Sharia and Jihad, and emphasizing that Muslims are also the victims of Islamic Supremacism. One of the most urgent causes to promote is the women’s rights issue. American leadership must make it transparently clear, once and for all, which civilization stands for women and what entity denigrates and mutilates them.

Trump must deliver a special speech that unveils the victims of honor killings, acid attacks and female genital mutilation, and of forced veiling, forced marriage and forced segregation under Islam – and issue a concrete challenge as Reagan did to Gorbachev. He must point to the tyrannical wall of Islamic gender apartheid and pronounce unequivocally: Imams, muftis and clerics of the world, tear down this wall.

Trump must do this while simultaneously shattering the Left’s and Muslim Brotherhood’s favorite propaganda lie: that standing up to Islamic Supremacism and telling the truth about its inspirations is somehow instigating hatred of all Muslim people. This is a pernicious ploy based on a faulty conflation of Islam with Muslims. It must be made categorically clear that we are dealing with an ideology; we are not hating all the people who fall under its grasp. There are millions of people who go under the label “Muslim” but who may not agree with, or follow, all Islamic mandates, or who may want to reform them, or who may not even know anything about them – or who may have simply been born into the religion and were never even given a choice as to who they wanted to be. We have no problem with these people. And as a matter of fact, our standing up to Islamic Supremacism is a defense of these Muslims because they are, like millions of Muslims around the world, also victims of Islamic Supremacism.

All in all, the point must be driven home that we are on the side of Muslim people, and especially of those, like Zuhdi Jasser, who seek to reform Islam and bring it into the modern world.

And so, in reflecting on these three lessons of the fall of the Soviet Union 25 years ago, we begin to gauge how, if applied with precision, they can help our new incoming president launch a winning strategy against our enemy in the terror war. Trump shows every sign that he can and will achieve this. He has demonstrated himself to be a good man who loves his country and who wants the best for it. He has shown a willingness to name the enemy and to take the war to him. He has also surrounded himself with all the noble and high-caliber people who are determined to set America on the winning course.

If all these pieces fall into place, President Trump will succeed, as Reagan did, in setting the stage for yet another glorious chapter – a chapter that sees an Evil Empire stagger to its knees and then, when finally shamed and crippled, cast where it belongs: on the ash heap of history.

      This is such an interesting article, I decided to look up Jamie Glazov at least in Wikipedia. Wow! for those of you who didn’t know, he was born in Moscow, and both his parents were reasonably high-profile dissidents under Brezhnev. The family left Soviet Union with a visa in 1972 and settled in Canada a couple years later, when Jamie was 9 yrs old.He went on to specialize his studies in Russian history and related international politics/affairs.

      Cheers!

    I love Jamie….and I love this latest offering of his. But I have a problem with the following….

    > “It must be made categorically clear that we are dealing with an ideology; we are not hating all the people who fall under its grasp. There are millions of people who go under the label “Muslim” but who may not agree with, or follow, all Islamic mandates, or who may want to reform them, or who may not even know anything about them – or who may have simply been born into the religion and were never even given a choice as to who they wanted to be. We have no problem with these people. And as a matter of fact, our standing up to Islamic Supremacism is a defense of these Muslims because they are, like millions of Muslims around the world, also victims of Islamic Supremacism.”

    Jaimie keeps making the analogy of Trump and Islam to Reagan and communism….but imagine the intellectual/moral confusion that would have transpired had Reagan said that “Communists are distinct from Communism; we have no problem with the former”. It is a staggering incongruity.

    I understand Jaimie’s motives….trying to de-couple the anti-Jihad with accusations of bigotry, but if we’re serious about speaking the truth, it must be acknowledged that without Muslims, Islam is nothing but an anthropological curiosity. Muslim extremists are derived from the broader community of Muslims.

    I’m not sure what the answer is, but this is the weak link in Jamie’s thesis.

        Agreed, Cornelius! We cannot force reason upon a lot of people following a fascistoid “religion”, but that does certainly not mean that quite a lot of muslims follow the commands of this religion. Knowingly and willingly. Muslims should know that there is a lot of opposition and as the facts are now, there is almost no opposition against this violent and backward religion. I would propose a ban on islamic schools and on islamic education, at the very least. I would propose to start educating against the foul and backward customs spread by the islam, i.e. educating the population (and countering the violent messages spread by islam) and warning against those customs. We should do this together.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Dec 27, 2016 at 11:22 am

      Agreed! To some degree or other, ALL Muslims help to keep Islam — an inherently savage & imperialistic ideology — alive and thriving and moving forward. And the primary effect of “moderate” Muslims is to sow confusion among non-Muslims, thereby weakening our resolve to combat this evil. To make matters worse, it is impossible to sort out the true moderates from the True Believers.

      There is no solution to this problem, as long as we allow Muslims to live among us in the West. If allowed to continue, the Demographic Jihad will eventually turn Europe, the U.S., Canada, and Australia into Islamic hell-holes resembling Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan.

      To survive, societies must be able to evolve, to meet changing conditions. If we aren’t smart enough to adapt to a new situation — i.e., the arrival of a uniquely threatening ideology (Islam) in the West — and make an exception regarding freedom of religion in this particular case, the civilized world is doomed. Nothing can save us, as long as we have fast-breeding, infidel-hating stealth jihadis living among us.

      Islam is not just a religion. It is a totalitarian political system & a barbaric legal system, thinly disguised as a religion. A look at any Muslim-majority country around the world (including Turkey, these days) proves this point. An examination of the Qur’an, or the example set by the Prophet Muhammad, will also confirm it.

      Islam is different, and must be treated differently. And the sooner our political “leaders”, our mainstream “journalists”, and our left-wing pundits take this important fact on board, the better.

      BTW: If anyone is tempted to dismiss this little rant as “right-wing extremism”, think again. I’m a progressive — a vegetarian, tree-hugging, green-energy-loving, militant religious skeptic. And I’m sick to death of Islam.

        You are correct. The problem with being 100% truthful on this file is so many people have to take a step back and admit their error. Consequently most seem to desire a middle of the road type resolution. There can be no middle ground here. The entire thrust of islam upon humanity is not going to be stopped by politically correct half measures that will not be too offensive. People must wake up to reality, we are considered infidels, we are given no respect, we are considered only useful as slaves or minions. Look around you for goodness sakes and see what is happening in every country where islam is flexing it’s political muscle. Do not be swayed by such things as muslims in Calgary shovelling snow for Christian neighbours. This is simply the smile before the bite. They are not strong enough here yet to openly attack as they do in Europe. If our leaders keep following the policies they now espouse it will not be long before they are strong enough.

          “Do not be swayed by such things as muslims in Calgary shovelling snow for Christian neighbours.”

          Unfortunately our societies are now filled with many shallow thinking people, at least only when it comes to Islam, that they can judge a whole 1400 years old ideology and its belief system, by some simple isolated acts of kindness by some Muslims in a country where they are still not even a significant minority!

          Where one goes with all Islam’s history and the kind of fruits it produced, from its beginning up till now? If one is really interested to know what kind of person, people, ideology or belief system he/she is dealing with, one should look how such identity behave or manifest itself when it’s dominant or in a powerful position.

          Judging Islam by going with the good feeling I got because a Muslim came and shoveled the snow in front of my house?! If one is to survive, there is no place for stupidity in this treacherous and hazardous world.

          2000 years ago, a wise man said that one can discern what kind of tree it is by judging what kind of fruit it produces. The tree that produces poisonous fruits will be cut from its roots and thrown into eternal destruction.

        1.DO not allow any other religion to operate freely
        2.DO not allow the construction of other places of worship
        3.Blame any unrests in country on ‘other” religions
        4.Destroy all history outside of “our” religion
        5.closely monitor and all actions of the “other” religion(s).

      I agree completely. Islam cannot be reformed. It must be educated out of existence. First we mist educate ourselves about its evil essence.

      • Savvy Kafir says

        Dec 27, 2016 at 11:56 am

        I used to hope that we could educate Muslims out of their religion. I thought that was ultimately the answer. And, as someone who self-educated his way out of a thorough brainwashing in Christianity, that approach seemed do-able.

        But now I’m convinced that we cannot get Muslims to abandon their religion fast enough to save the civilized world. Islam is advancing much too quickly in the West, due to immigration and the Demographic Jihad. And for every Muslim who abandons his or her religion, it seems that two or three become “radicalized” by some extremist imam, or by watching the violent jihad-porn produced by ISIS or whoever.

        For most of mankind’s problems, I think education is the answer. And eventually that may be true with Islam. But our priority at this point has to be defending Western society against the corrosive effects of Islam. We need to be thinking in terms of short-term solutions, for now.

        • Know Thy Enemy says

          Dec 27, 2016 at 2:39 pm

          Well, education is the answer to getting Muslims to quit Islam. What we need to realize however, is that there are different ways to educate different people. The current method of educating the Muslims is not working because they are winning [in the west] and are treated with kid gloves by the westerners. The human psychology is such that when a person (or group) is winning, s/he does not see the faults in his/her ideology is is not interested in “getting educated” with something else. They think they are winning because their ideology is a better ideology.

          And even if a few Muslims see that Islam is unfair towards non-Muslims, how many of them would criticize Islam considering the special treatment that they get from westerners? If they oppose Islam and integrate into the west, they would not only lose the special treatment, they will be called ‘bigots’ and ‘Islamophobes’, and may even suffer death threats. Why would they do that? They are winners from all angles by sticking to Islam.

          We need to make them lose. Only then will they start seeing the faults in Islam. They will dump Islam only when they see that being in Islam is leading to loss. This is the only way to educate them!

          Hence what needs to be done is that Islam needs to be declared an enemy. It needs to be emphasized that Islam is a political and military ideology that masquerades as religion. Then ALL Muslims needs to be banned from entering the US. All the mullahs and other Islamists need to be identified and restricted somehow. Everything else that was done to Communism (and its followers) needs to be done to Islam (and its followers) to stop their spread. As many Muslims that can be deported out of US, should be deported, etc etc.

          Only then the Muslims will see that they are losing. And it is only then that they will start seeing faults in their religion. Only then will they see that Islam is an inferior ideology. Only then will they ditch Islam.

          As one can see it is mostly about the psychology of winning and losing. We need to make them lose and we ourselves need to win!

      I couldn’t agree more, Cornelius. The only true salvation for a Muslim is to leave Islam completely. When the ideology is rotten to begin with, as Islam, Nazism and Marxism are, there’s no rescuing it and there’s no use remaining with it. A total break is imperative.

    • Kay says

      Dec 27, 2016 at 2:40 pm

      I agree this is a tricky point Cornelius. Yet I think it is a strong point on Jamie’s part and an essential if difficult tightrope for President Trump to walk.
      Many have been forced to convert to Islam and many more have never been given a chance to hear a different way. The twisting that (we) are against Muslims (the people) because of “a few” has given the Left (or whoever it is that is promoting Islam in various ways) a lot of ammunition against speaking the truth about Islam.

      Dec 28, 2016 at 3:01 am

      I think the weak link is number 2, encouraging them to be more pluralistic. About that thet there is no similarity to communism. The historical record suggests that an attempt to urge anything less than fundamental Islam results in Muslim authorities cracking down on “moderates” and weeding them out of the pack. The only thing in the past that has caused any defection has been the demonstrations of overpowering western supremacy since power is what they are attracted to. I like his plan and it would be effective without wasting time and energy on something with almost no chance of success. The potentially moderate Muslim will lose their zeal when they are getting their asses handed to them.

      Dec 28, 2016 at 5:08 am

      I don’t agree with you. You defeat your own argument when you include the quote from Jamie beginning “There are millions of people who go under the label “Muslim” but who…”.

      Stop a moment and think! We cannot start a war with the “set of all Muslims”, which is over a third of the earth’s population. The focus must be 100% on the ideology. Of course the fact that many Muslims promote this poisonous ideology is a problem, but we must frame them as victims of the ideology rather than our enemy, as least to the extent they are not physically attacking us.

      Jamie gave an analogy of how another ideology was ultimately defeated, communism. Here is another…

      Suppose you view “racism” as harmful to society. Suppose there are many who spread a poisonous ideology that one race or another is inferior to the majority, and you would like to see their voices diminished and ultimately extinguished. You don’t begin by arresting all racists. Quite the contrary, you begin by educating people about the harm and fallacies of their ideology. You promote the fact that all people are equal under the eye of Justice, Truth, or God if you are so inclined. You promote the fact the the value of a person is not based on having the right racial characteristics, etc. In short, the answer is pretty much what we are doing: Education, and laws promoting equality.

      I would like to see a North American society where Islam is as much frowned upon as racism, which in fact it parallels in the sense that it promotes a supremacist point of view, but where Muslims themselves are treated pretty much as racists are treated. That is to say, we have no campaign against racists as individuals except in the most extreme cases or where they are violent. In fact, we do have freedom of speech, and to a large extent, racists are free to spread their venomous propaganda. However, that propaganda is denigrated by the stand we take as a society against racism. Their voices are muted, and they feel themselves subdued. So too should those who would promote Islam feel themselves subdued.

      good point Cornelius, as Turkish PM Erdogan said, “the term ‘moderate islam’ is offensive. There is no moderate islam. islam is islam.” the followers, muslims, are all expected to adhere to supremacist doctrines, it is not open to interpretation. Those who don’t would be considered apostates. There is no “reform” IMO, you’re either in or you’re out. Those who are “in” simply cannot be allowed to migrate to Western cultures with their seditious intentions.

    Dec 27, 2016 at 10:13 am

    I would urge caution when relying on Henry Kissinger for advice. Remember, he was the one who called the United States’ exit from Vietnam, “peace with honor”, which was an obvious, blatant lie. Further, Kissinger always regards the most complex solution to a problem as the best solution. He is arrogant, and very condescending when anyone disagrees with him. Be careful, Jamie.

    • Wellington says

      Dec 27, 2016 at 2:14 pm

      Pretty much agree with you. Kissinger wanted to continue detente indefinitely and would have never, ever advised giving anything approaching President Reagan’s Evil Empire speech. Indeed, Kissinger, as with so many others, thought Reagan naive and not too bright but the “dummy” knew something that virtually all the others didn’t know, i.e., the Soviet Union was ripe for collapse and the containment doctrine begun under Truman needed to be scrapped for a total win doctrine, which is exactly what happened thanks to the moral genius of America’s 40th President (and aided by a handful of others like Pope John Paul II and Margaret Thatcher). As Alexander Bessmertnykh, Gorbachev’s Foreign Minister said, “Reagan’s defense build-up and the Strategic Defense Initiative (derisively called “Star Wars’ by anti-Reaganites) accelerated the demise of the Soviet Union.”

  4. Don McKellar says

    Dec 27, 2016 at 10:17 am

    Jamie, you can never take down Islamic supremacists using the strategies you outline. They will still be there and their evil empire will continue. Their strength doesn’t come from belief in their fellow man to help build a glorious future together here in this world — it comes from an unprovable deity who commands that you murder and oppress those who don’t follow the deity’s commands which lead to a magical paradise after you die. Communism is only a real world political ideology which can be defeated. Islamic supremacists is a toxic cocktail of religion and political ideology with divine sanction.

    Any Trump doctrine must recognize that fact if it’s going to succeed, and therefore must be aimed at a different target than the Islamic supremacists. It must be aimed at those who enable and support the Islamic supremacists: the delusional and foolish left. They are the ones who hold only a political ideology which can be chipped away at and discredited until it collapses. Without the support of the delusional leftists, Islamic supremacists are left powerless and are shunned and, where possible, removed from society by deportations and immigration bans. And foreign policy becomes sane.

    I would suggest that you rethink this proposal in terms of changing the minds of those who enable the monsters, not the monsters themselves.

    Points of difference that nake all the fiffreence.

    1. Marxism, Freedom, Democracy, etc are man philosophies and theories. Muslims believe that the Koran is Allah’s word.

    2. The children of communists do not automatically become communists. Muslims do,

    As long as these two tenets are not destroyed, Islam will continue. Under political attack, Muslims will simply bend with the wind, till the storm passes.

      As DonM said, Islam is a toxic cocktail in which political ideology, racist hatred, misogyny, supremacy and religious duty unto martyrdom are all woven together. It is almost impossible to separate any of these themes from a “religion” which has defined itself as perfect and immutable. Members of this cult cannot even quietly leave it without being targeted for death. Dissent, moderation, tolerance or reform have been designed out of it.

      This makes it a much tougher fight than was the defeat of a relatively simple ideology like communism. As DP111 said, Communism is not necessarily inherited but Islamism as taught and practiced is virtually genetic.

      The only solution I can see is to strictly confine the Muslim world to the Muslim world. Continued immigration will destroy our society, guaranteed. Remember that the only approved purpose for Muslims living outside the Muslim world is to overthrow those countries and spread Islam.

      Islam has a large native territory and substantial wealth. Since they think their “religion” is so much the best let them demonstrate that on their own soil, not ours.

        Nicely put, Dave J!

        This is a much tougher fight than the Western world has ever faced, and its survival is in far more jeopardy than ever before. When Muslim armies were invading Europe in centuries past, at least it was clear to all Western infidels that they were at war. And they had no problem naming the foe.

        Whereas today, many Europeans, Americans, Canadians, & Australians refuse to see that the forces of Islam have declared war on us. And many millions of my fellow Lefties are actively aiding & abetting the enemy, and attempting to silence all critics of Islam via vicious ad hominem attacks. I doubt that this sort of situation has ever existed in human history!

        If we don’t turn things around quickly, the unthinkable will happen, and the greatest civilization the world has ever produced will be utterly wiped out by the most barbaric. Our descendants will be living in the Dark Ages, just as people do in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia today. And there will be no one to drag them out again.

        I agree. As with any other malicious pestilence, Islam must be quarantined and those outside of its grasp must be inoculated by education. Then triage: Rescue the apostates if possible and leave the Islamic leadership to rot in its own filth.

        That’s the only solution. The “House of Islam” and the “House of War” must exist separately, if Western civilization is to survive. They must be entirely separate, because it’s impossible to sort out truly moderate Muslims from the True Believers — and because the moderates have a way of morphing into True Believers, at an ever-faster rate.

        Violent jihadis are just the tip of the iceberg. We have much more to fear from fast-breeding stealth jihadis. And the only way to deal with them effectively is to eject them from the civilized world.

        We owe them nothing but a one-way ticket to some Muslim-majority country.

      So is islam, a convoluted mess created to try to glue together an empire that fell in the lap of the Arabs.

      “islam is within muslims.”

      Is that so? Are muslims born knowing islamic tenets? Or do they have to be taught and threatened with death as not to leave the religion?

      “let me tell you no muslims will listen to mad trump.”

      Ah, so you speak for ALL muslims in the world now. Got it.

      “he is talking of removing present muslim leadership or regime change.”

      “that will make no difference.even if trump topples them all, muslims will resistance colonisation as they did before.”

      Who here spoke of colonising anyone or anything?

      “at the end the united states will go bankrupt and collapse.”

      Then the US should start saving wherever they can. They should start by stopping all financial aid to ALL muslim countries.

      “take it from this is what will happene taking lesson from iraqi invasion by george w bush.”

      Obama, not Bush, screwed the pooch on that one.

        The idea of ending all aid to Muslim countries is an important (and obvious) move that doesn’t get mentioned nearly enough. We need to stop funding our enemies!

        The development of green energy (especially hydrogen fuel cell technology) is the single most effective way to de-fund Islamists in the Muslim world & in the West.

        But we also need to stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, and stop giving them to Pakistan, etc. We need to end ALL aid to ALL Muslim-majority countries. We’ve got to stop buying their oil, stop sending them aid, and place embargoes on all of them. Let the Muslim world fend for itself, without the vast financial assistance we currently give it, and the West will be much safer.

    Islam has to be treated as a political ideology and as such be illuminated. The next step is to render Islam illegal. We must ally with Israel, UK, France, India, China, and Russia, then drop as many hyper-bombs on a random Muslim target every three days until all Muslim sovereignties Worldwide criminalize Islam. Every Muslim government criminalizing Islam comes off the target list, getting to keep their power and territory. The Muslims would get on board with the program real quick.

    Here’s how completely obliterate the leftists who try and defend Islam web boards. Completely destroys them every time:

    1) Challenge the racist fallacy. If they call me a racist, I point out that Islam is not a race and prove it (posting a photo of a famous white Islamic supremacist is devastating to them) and ask why they think it’s a race (and therefore they are the racists).

    2) Expose the Islamophobia name-calling for what it is. They call me an Islamophobe. I tell them that Islamic supremacists laugh every time a leftist uses that term without thinking. I break it down: Islam means submission, as in submission to the will of Allah. Phobia of course means fear in the extreme. I ask them if they are afraid of giving up their rights and free will and submitting to the laws/will of a religion. I assure them that I am not afraid of Islam but instead fight against it because I am a free man. What about them?

    3) Separate Islam from other religions on the basis that it is an oppressive political system. Point out to them that it is the only religion which has LAWS FOR THEM and quite harsh and violent laws which includes a death penalty for them if they they don’t submit to Allah. Always back this up with Koran verse numbers and very, very brief quotes. Don’t ever get bogged down with massive posts. They won’t read it.

    A Trump doctrine based on this sort of attack with the aim to separate the left from the Islamic supremacists should work on a large scale.

    Dec 27, 2016 at 11:08 am

    I’m not so enthusiastic. A religion is what it is. What Kissinger said about Communists becoming democrats is a fungible observation: Christians cannot stop believing in Jesus’ atoning sacrifice, resurrection from the dead, and feeling guilty when they sin without ceasing to be Christians; Muslims cannot give up believing that the Qur’an is the word of God and in jihad without ceasing to be Muslims.

    While I wish the best for people like Zuhdi Jasser, our chief responsibility as Christians is to let them know that Jesus Christ has a welcome for them should they end up frustrated (which is bound to happen).

    The paradigm of liberal Protestantism will not work, not even for Protestantism itself. The “Mainline” continues to exist because its programs for SSM and social justice live on the endowments people made more than a century ago to save souls in China and Africa; not from giving going on now. After a couple centuries of modernism in Christendom, we’ve seen that taking our cue from the world and doing all the running we can to remain a respectful five paces behind our cultured despisers means slamming the door to the Holy Spirit. It is only conservative churches that dare to stick by the old truth claims that are growing.

    Further, it is necessary to see that theologies matter. A scripture that urges you to be at peace with all men as much as it is up to you is a very different foundation from one that urges violence, spoil, and rape against those who won’t convert. There are internal reasons why Christianity has been tempted to make absolute pacifism a major doctrine and why Islam has never been so tempted.

    Uncle Kepha’s recommendation for Pres. Trump follows. We should be to make it plain that if they want to live in peace with us, we’re more than happy to live at peace with them; if they seek martyrdom by waging jihad against us or our proven friends, we’re happy to be very generous in handing out as much martyrdom as they can possible bear. We should also be careful in vetting people who immigrate, and that if we find would-be terrorists among people in the States, we’ll throw the proverbial lawbook at the citizens among them and deport any non-citizens. We will keep the death penalty, and even allow States the discretion too use it. I’m not for a registry or any other infringement on Constitutional rights, but I am very much in favor of enforcing the laws that are there to protect the public.

    Finally, PUHL-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE! Instantly fire any State Department spokesman who says that the terrorists are hijacking Islam. This is not a call for people who think that all traditional theisms are merely “Bronze- or Iron-Age superstitions”. None of us who conscientiously hold to a tradition see the CNN or NBC or Bloomberg or even government Talking Heads as noble, above-the-fray, wholesomely neutral spox for pure rationality, and would urge them to read Alasdair MacIntyre’s _Whose Justice? Which Rationality?_ if they think they are.

        I’ll agree with you and Howard below that Zuhdi Jasser’s sself-appointed task seems highly Quixotic (“tilting at windmills” is the way Howard put it). What I have learned of Qur’an and Hadith since 9/11 leads me to such a conclusion, although I admit that I am an outsider looking in as far as Islam is concerned.

        Hence, I believe that we Christians (and I recognize, dear Wellington, that you do not identify with us at this point) need to keep the Gospel of Jesus Christ open before people, and pray that they will accept God’s gift of salvation in Jesus the Messiah. Hopefully, Dr. Jasser and people like him will ultimately do what a surprising number of now-former coreligionists have done and come to the real Jesus.

        This is why I will continue to stress that Jesus the Messiah came to seek and save the lost rather than destroy them (as seems to be Muhammad’s self-appointed mission); and this is an extremely important distinction that the secular state needs to make.

          I believe, Kepha, I would welcome Jasser officially converting to Christianity about as much as you would. You of course would see it, quite understandably, first and foremost from a Christian perspective, while I would look at it primarily from an overall humanitarian and common sense take on things that might influence other Muslims to follow in Jasser’s footsteps. Ideally, all Muslims would become Christians. If this occurred, it would be just about the greatest boon to mankind of all time.

      The Ottomans realized that the only way to keep control of Islam-addled societies is through brutality and COLLECTIVE punishment by family and “millet” (ethnic group).

      One district fails to pay enough taxes? Send in the Janissaries, rape all the women and boys, castrate/murder the men, and sell the survivors into slavery. For the next 15 – 20 years, there will be no problems about tax revenues within 50 miles.

      An Armenian raped a Jewish woman? Perpetrator is killed, Armenian community (through elders) pays.

      Circassian murders a Muslim Turk? Alleged perpetrator’s entire clan is annihilated, Circassian community represented by elders pays compensation to murder victim.

      Since Muslims expressly claim to be part of the global ummah and commune with fellow members of the ummah at the local mosque, “community” responsibility including criminal punishment of family members and community members is the obvious “handle” to impose and safeguard civilization.

    Zuhdi appears to be genuine; however, he is tilting at windmills in his search to foster the development of a peaceful Islam. Such a quest is like seeking to develop a non-radioactive nuclear bomb. Islam is all about matching the lifestyle of Mohammad, and patterning one’s life after the teachings of the Koran. The religion has no hope for moderation. The only hope for its future is its demise.

    It would be good to hear President Trump say the following:

    The Muslim people of the world have been tricked, deceived, and swindled. Muhammad bin Abdullah, the man who started the so-called Muslim religion, was a cunning, self-serving fraud. He pretended to receive divine revelations, in order to gain respect, power, wealth, and sexual privileges for himself.

    He made up the Koran as he went along, to suit his needs of the moment. When he only had a few followers, and the Muslims were vulnerable, he pretended to receive a “revelation” that said there is no compulsion in religion. Later, when he became powerful, he ordered his followers to kill anyone who left the Muslim cult.

    He turned his followers into a murderous gang of armed robbers, who spread the cult by means of terror, murder, and armed robbery. He encouraged his followers to torture the leaders of the communities they attacked, to make them reveal where valuables such as jewelry were hidden, and then to kill all the men, and take the children as slaves, and the women as sex slaves.

    He pretended to receive a “revelation” that commanded that no matter how many Muslims took part in an armed robbery, one fifth of the plunder was to be given to Muhammad himself.

    He pretended to receive a “revelation” that forbade Muslims from adopting children, so that he could possess the attractive wife of his adopted son. He pretended to receive “revelations” that said that Muslim men were allowed no more than four wives, except that he himself was allowed as many wives as he wanted.

    He pretended that his “revelations” were sent by a divine being, called “Allah”, who had created the entire universe. Some of his “revelations” say that “Allah” spread the world out like a carpet, for mankind to enjoy, and that “Allah” put mountains on the world, like paperweights, to stop earthquakes.

    One of his “revelations” says that someone journeyed to the end of the world, and saw the Sun go down into a muddy pond, at the end of the day.

    Can it really be possible that the Koran was dictated by a divine being, who created the entire universe, and yet thought that the Sun descends into a muddy pond, at the end of the day?

It was a society, where women had equal rights. Toppling the oppressive elites was sufficient to bring the Eastern block countries back into the community of free nations. Naturally, abuse of power and various anti-democratic actions cause setbacks and other issues, but there are several examples where toppling the communist elites was indeed ALL that was needed, e.g., Poland and Hungary. Also, reasserting freedom of religion in those countries played a very positive role – precisely because this solidified Judaeo-Christian ethical foundation and reverted its erosion.

    In case of fundamental or radical Islam, the supremacist ideology, intolerance, and jihad as postulated codified, prescribed, and necessitated in Islamic trilogy, and its enforcement comes from Islamic scriptures. Sharia law and ideology are deemed divine and inseparable from the religion itself.

    Take honor killings as an example. People don’t realize that realize that in Islam the cause and effect are not tied to a timeline and that many transgressions are viewed as not being a Muslim. A Muslim wife cannot cheat on her husband.. Therefore, a wife that cheated has become a Kafir. Therefore, she is guilty of cheating and of becoming a Kafir, of blasphemy. And since she is a Kafir, she is now less than human. An honor killing by relatives and neighbors follows – no regrets, because she is already a Kafir.

    Take out radical leadership, make pronouncements, etc, – and several years later another bunch of Imams and Mullahs will come of age, well read in the same scriptures that radicalized their predecessors to begin with.

    There needs to be a global effort by all Islamic nations to reform and modernize their religious discourse. In my opinion, this has to include abandoning of Sharia and rejections of “end of time” theology. I don’t know how, but this must also be reflected in our doctrine of dealing with Islamic supremacism.

    “freedom and spoken truth have a corrosive effect on tyranny’s chains”

    I believe this. It is perhaps the most important reason to defend our First Ammendment, even against PC encroachments.

      Considering how many muslims grow up in free societies with all educational opportunities and still want sharia, I don’t trust that freedom and spoken truth will be enough.

    That so many Muslims who are members of so many different Islamic organizations seem to strongly dislike and even detest Donald Trump may serve to show that Trump might be the very best man to become the next President of the United States. Furthermore, the message needs to be made known to all the Muslims who live in the United States of America who dislike and maybe even despise the US Constitution and would like to replace it with Sharia law. Those same Muslims instead in trying to force Sharia law on American citizens and their nation those are free to leave and really should leave the USA and then go to live in either Shii ‘ite, Iran or Sunni , Saudi Arabia if they actually feel the Sharia law is the grand, great and wonderful .
    Moreover, all this is a strong reminder of the wise words declared by Theodore Roosevelt in a speech. “There can be no fifty –fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism , only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”

    Jamie said of Trump..

    “He has demonstrated himself to be a good man who loves his country and who wants the best for it.”

    Unless Jamie knows Trump personally, there is as yet insufficient evidence to make such a conclusion. No such conclusion can be taken from Trump’s career before running for president, and Trump has not yet begun his presidency. All we have is hope so far.

    This is a great article. Islam is our real enemy, rather than the people per se. Islam has already declared war on all non-Muslims, and we must reciprocate. We must take the moral high ground and confront its supremacist and violent ideology with determination. The Islamic jihad has continued – with a few interruptions – for some 1,400 years, and has been responsible for some 280 million people either killed or enslaved. Anyone who thinks that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’ and Muslims will simply abandon this ‘very long war’, is sadly deluded.

    This pernicious ideology is controlled by the militants – some 20% of the population on the right hand side of the ‘aggression spectrum’, who try to follow the example of their warlord prophet to the letter (Q 2:191-3, 2:216, 4:74, 8:24 etc). The actual jihadis are only a few percent at most of the militants, but enough to terrorise the kuffar (Q 3:151, 8:12, 8:60 etc). The ‘peaceful’ Muslims – also some 20% of the population – on the left of the spectrum – are afraid to speak out against the violence, for fear of retribution. That leaves some 60% of the population who simply follow along like sheep, and many even aid and abet the militants and celebrate their victories.

    It is a defeatist attitude to think that by vetting Muslim immigrants and screening out the undesirables, that will solve the problem. It won’t! No one can determine what a person believes or how they think without doing a psychological assessment. And even if these Muslims are peaceful, there is no guarantee that their children will be too. It is clear from the atrocities which have been committed, that the future progeny of peaceful immigrants can also be radicalized locally to commit jihad attacks. The common denominator is always Islam and the violent verses in the Quran and the Hadith which command Muslims to wage jihad or holy war against unbelievers. If unchecked, the demographic situation will simply allow the Muslim population to grow exponentially and eventually become numerically superior in their adopted countries. The only way to stop this growing Muslim population is to declare Islam a criminal ideology, stop all Muslim immigration, close all mosques and madrassas, and deport as many as we can. Even then, it won’t be an easy fix, unless some form of martial law is declared to circumvent the opposition of the Left who are blindsighted by their own ideology, and cannot see the wolf at the door. I came from the Left and understand how they think and what motivates them.

    Islam must be defeated completely and utterly – both at home and abroad! Or like some mythical jinn, it will re-emerge from its magic lamp at some future time, to once again “strike terror into the hearts of disbelievers”

    well, duh!

    This is exactly what Islamists having been doing to us!

    It’s also what the Soviets did to us, which is why we have so many Bolsheviks in the Democratic Party : they’re very “pluralistic” and intend to”reform” America iaw Marx, never mind the collapse of the USSR. America is the enemy and they’re going on the offensive, especially under Trump.

    Supporting “Pluralism” was also Wilson and Stalin strategy during the Inter-War Period of the last century.

    Pluralism also brought down Franco’s Falange, although he deliberately did most of it himself by trying to bring all factions into the FE-JONS, then FET-JONS and finally the National Movement which became more liberal as time went on.

    Of course, it would! It didn’t have any place else to go. The more members it attracted, the more diluted the camisa viejas became.

    Georges Sorrel prescribes the inner and outer party idea which is vital to any movement.

    This is also how Catholicism lost its power, with all its internal factions splitting into different interpretations. You can still be a Christian but not follow the Pope. What a deal, for everyone but the Pope.

    On it goes,,,,

    I don’t know about trying this on a well established religion, though.

    Muslim regimes are well aware of the dangers of pluralism which is why they have suppressed it for so long. Islam is a kind of religion that works in lieu of traditional Western politics and Muslim rulers know it.

    I’d also suggest that encouraging pluralism promoted Bolshevism in the former Habsburg Empire after WW1 and it largely responsible for our failure in Iraq.

    McArthur, on the other hand, ruled defeated Japan as a viceroy, and that worked.

    This might be a valid strategy, but it’d take some severe tweeking in the tactics and execution by people very knowledgeable of the enemy.

    Defeating the Central Powers turned Bolshevism lose.
    Defeating the Axis brought on the Cold War.
    Defeating the USSR turned the hajis loose

    and now, we’ve got mess not so easily defined or even confined.

    I really don’t know,,,

    Zudi Jasser referenced here is delusional. There is no such religion that he professes to be Islam. Islam is Islam. To be a Muslim, one MUST believe in Islam. Islam cannot be reformed as it is believed by REAL Muslims that it is the literal word of God. Judi Jasser is simply an apostate that should convert to Christianity.
