Jihad Watch

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

Fifty Shades of Green

Apr 6, 2017 12:20 pm By Alexander Maistrovoy

“Being unable to cause might to obey justice, men have made it just to obey might.” — Blaise Pascal

“Progressive man” refuses to recognize the crimes of Islam, not because he is naive, fine-tempered or tolerant. He does it because, unconsciously or subconsciously, he has already accepted Islam as a religion of salvation. As he accepted Stalinism, Hitlerism, Maoism and the “Khmer Rouge” before it…

Joseph de Maistre, a French aristocrat of the early 19th century, argued that man cannot live without religion, and not religion as such, but the tyrannical and merciless one. He was damned and hated, they called him an antipode of progress and freedom, even a forerunner of fascism; however, progressives proved him right again and again.

In their nihilistic ecstasy, Homo progressicus threw God off the pedestal, trampled upon the humanistic ideal of Petrarch, Alberti and Leonardo Bruni, who relied on Reason and strove for virtue, and … found themselves in complete and gaping emptiness. They realized that they could not live without the God-man — the idol, the leader, the ruler, who would rely on the unshakable, ruthless idea of salvation — not in the other world, but in this real world here and now. And with all the passion so inherent to their shallow, unstable, infantile nature, they rushed out in search of their “prince on a white horse.”

The idols of the progressives were tyrants armed with the most progressive ideology: Robespierre, and after him Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and finally — Islam.

In the 20th century, the Western intelligentsia was infected with red and brown bacilli.

Walter Duranty ardently denied the Holodomor. Bernard Shaw and Romain Rolland justified OGPU terror and the kangaroo court in Moscow; Aragon, Barbusse (the author of the apologetic biography of Stalin: Stalin. A New World Seen Through the Man) and Jean-Richard Bloch glorified “the Father of nations.”
“I would do nothing against Stalin at the moment; I accepted the Moscow trials and I am prepared to accept those in Barcelona,” said Andre Malraux during the massacre of anarchists from POUM by Communists in Barcelona in 1937.

Let’s guess: who is writing about whom? “Lonely overbearing man… damned disagreeable,” “friendly and commonplace,” possessing “an intelligence far beyond dogmatism”… “sucked thoughtfully at the pipe he had most politely asked my permission to smoke… I have never met a man more fair, candid, and honest.” Got it? It was Stalin, as portrayed by H. G. Wells.

How many sufferings – Solzhenitsyn recalled — were caused by progressive Western journalists, who after having visited the GULAG, praised Potemkin villages with allegedly heated barracks where political prisoners used to read Soviet newspapers sitting at clean neat tables? Indeed, Arthur Ransome (The Guardian), an American journalist and a fan of Mao, Agnes Smedley, New York reporter Lincoln Steffens (after the meeting with Lenin he wrote,“I have seen the future and it works”), Australian-British journalist Leonore Winter (the author of the book  called Red Virtue: Human Relations in the New Russia) and many others sympathized with the Bolsheviks and the Soviet Union. Juan Benet, a famous Spanish writer, suggested “strengthening the guards (in GULAG), so that people like Solzhenitsyn would not escape.” The Los Angeles Times published Alexander and Andrew Cockburn, who were Stalin’s admirers.

Hitler? Knut Hamsun, Norwegian novelist who won the Nobel Prize, described Hitler in an obituary as a “fighter for humanity and for the rights of all nations.” The “amorousness” of Martin Heidegger for the “leader of the Third Reich” is well known. In the 1930s, the Führer was quite a respectable person in the eyes of the mass media. Anne O’Hare McCormick – a foreign news correspondent for the New York Times (she got Pulitzer Prize) — described Hitler after the interview with him: he is “a rather shy and simple man, younger than one expects, more robust, taller… His eyes are almost the color of the blue larkspur in a vase behind him, curiously childlike and candid… His voice is as quiet as his black tie and his double-breasted black suit… Herr Hitler has the sensitive hand of the artist.”

The French elites were fascinated by Hitler. Ferdinand Celine said that France would not go to “Jewish war,” and claimed that there was an international Jewish conspiracy to start the world war. French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet rendered honors to Ribbentrop, and novelist, essayist and playwright Jean Giraudoux said that he was “fully in agreement with Hitler when he states that a policy only reaches its highest form when it is racial.”

The Red Guards of Chairman Mao caused deadly convulsions in China and ecstatic rage in Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Jan Myrdal, Charles Bettelheim, Alain Badiou and Louis Pierre Althusser. In Paris, Barbusse and Aragon created “the pocket monster” — Enver Hoxha; at Sorbonne University, Sartre worked out “the Khmer Rouge Revolution” of Pol Pot, Hu Nima, and Ieng Sary. Noam Chomsky characterized the proofs of Pol Pot’s genocide as “third rate” and complained of a “vast and unprecedented propaganda campaign against the Khmer Rouge.” Gareth Porter, winner of the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism, said in May 1977: “The notion that the leadership of Democratic Kampuchea adopted a policy of physically eliminating whole classes of people was …a myth.”

In the 70’s, the whole world already knew the truth about the Red Guards. However, German youth from the Socialist Union of German Students went out  on demonstrations with portraits of the “Great Helmsman” and the song “The East is Red.” In the USA, they went into the streets holding red flags and portraits of Trotsky and Che Guevara, and dream of “Fucking the System” like their idol Abbie Hoffman. The hatred of “petty bourgeois philistines,” as Trotsky named ordinary people, together with the dream of guillotines, bayonets, and “red terror,” keep inspiring Western intellectuals like Tariq Ali, the author of the revolutionary manual Trotsky for Beginners.

“The middle class turned out to be captured by ‘bourgeois-bohemian Bolshevism,'” Pascal Bruckner wrote.

Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot passed away, but new heroes appeared in their places. Leading employees of CNN – reporter Peter Arnett, producer Robert Wiener and director of news department Eason T. Jordan – had excellent relations with close associates of Saddam Hussein, pretending they didn’t know anything about his atrocities. Hollywood stars set up a race of making pilgrimages to Castro and Chavez. Neo-Marxist professors and progressive intellectuals, such as Dario Fo, Jean Baudrillard and Martin Amis, welcomed the triumph of al-Qaeda on September 11.

The romanticization of  the “forged boot” and “iron hand,” the worship of “lonely overbearing” men with “the sensitive hand of the artist” — this explains the amazing easiness with which recent anarchists, pacifists, Marxists, atheists, after having changed a couple  of ideologies, burden themselves with the most primitive, barbaric and despotic religion of our time: Islam.

What they crave for is not religion as such. They don’t want Buddhism, Bahaism, Zoroastrianism, or even the mild Islam of the Sufi or Ahmadiyya version. They want a religion that would crush them, rape their bodies and souls, and destroy their ego — one that would terrify them and make them tremble with fear, infirmity and impotence.

Only bloodthirsty medieval Islam is able to do this today. It alone possesses unlimited cruelty and willingness to burn everything on its way. And they  gather like moths flying to the flame: communists Roger Garaudy, “Carlos the Jackal,” Trond Ali Linstad, Malcolm X, Alys Faiz; human rights defenders Jemima Goldsmith, Keith Ellison, and Uri Davis, the fighter against Zionism for the rights of the Palestinians. Fathers favor Castro, such as Oliver Stone; their sons accept Islam, such as Sean Stone. According to a public opinion poll conducted in August 2014 (Madeline Grant, Newsweek), “16% of French citizens support ISIS.” There are 7% to 8% of Muslims living in France. Who makes up the rest 8% to 9%?

Ken Livingstone, Jeremy Corbyn, John Brennan, Hollywood stars, Ylva Johansson, Sweden’s Integration Minister, who like  her boss Stefan Löfven claimed that “there was no connection between crime and immigration”; Michael Fabricant, a former vice-chair of the Tory party, who said that “some conservative Anglicans are the same as ISIS”; German politicians that established a media watchdog to “instruct the press to censor ethnicity and religion in crime reports” (a modification of Soviet censure); the Chief Justice of England and Wales, Lord Phillips, who believes that it is inevitable to recognize Sharia courts in Great Britain; atheist-apologist for Islam (O my God!) CJ Werleman; Canadian Liberals, who support  the anti-Islamophobia motion; Georgetown professor Jonathan Brown, who justifies slavery and raping of female slaves; Wendy Ayres-Bennett, a UK professor who is urging Brits to learn Urdu and Punjabi to make Muslim migrants feel welcome; Ohio State University, that offered a course on “how Muslims helped build America”; the Swedish state-owned company Lernia encouraging the replacement of standard Swedish with the “migrant-inclusive accent”; American feminists with the slogans “Allahu akbar” and “I love Islam,” who endorse the BDS movement; Swedish feminists wearing burkas in Iran; “proud  feminists” such as Elina Gustafsson and Gudrun Schyman defending Muslim criminals who raped Swedish girls – all of them and thousands of others have already converted to Islam, if not de jure, then de facto.

They appeal to Islam to escape from their fears, complexes, helplessness, and uselessness. They choose the despotism of body and spirit to deprive themselves of their freedom – the freedom that has always been an unbearable burden for their weak souls full of chimeras. They crave slavery.

They are attracted by Islam today, but it’s not about Islam. It’s about them. If Islam is defeated tomorrow and a new Genghis Khan appears with the “religion of the steppe,” or the kingdom of the Aztecs rises with priests tearing hearts from the chest of living people, they will passionately rush into their embrace. They are yearning for tyranny, and will destroy everything on their way for the sake of it. Because of them, “we shall leave this world here just as stupid and evil as we found it upon arrival.” (Voltaire)

    About all those PC people in America who give themselves the title of “Progressives.” All things considered, those folks aren’t really “With It.” As explained in the following example.
    First, on Sunday morning of 3/26/17 on television on Fox New I saw a woman who is an anti-President Trump protester stand with her Marxist friends hold up the old Soviet Union Communist flag. This wasn’t the first time is saw such an anti-American Communist hammerer and sickle symbol shown by people who hate Donald Trump. Second, many of those who hate President Trump are socialists and other leftist, many of them Marxists. For example, on January 20 on television evening news I saw one group of anti-Trump protesters marching on the street in Washington DC. They were carrying and holding along banner which had Communist Hammer and Sickle on it. These further shows just how ignorant and outdated many of those anti-Trump people are.
    For Karl Marx with his COMMUNIST MANIFESTO an long with his three volume THE CAPITAL in which he explained his economic political/philosophical scheme for a “classless and stateless society “ in which “Everyone works according his ability and receives according to his needs.’’ has many times over by refuted and discredited by genuine economists, sociologists and historians. These scholars have thoroughly exposes the many economic fallacies and flaws of Marxism way before the collapse of Communism in Russia and the Eastern bloc nations. In 1992. Therefore even the recent history of the early 1990’s disproves Marxism as extremely erroneous. So it’s Adam Smith with his THE WEALTH OF NATIONS that is valid and in contrast Karl Marx with his written nonsensical a full of folly and invalid.
    So in conclusion this exposes how those anti-Trump protesters, just described above, with their Communist pipe -dreams [Marxist fantasy] are people who don’t even have a good grip of the reality of things. in addition This unaware mindset they have also extents to being unaware of the danger of Islam with its different types of jihad.

      Stalinism is alive in the hearts of braindead American Leftards. They should be sent to spend a night in one of Stalin’s gulags, sleeping on a single narrow board four feet off the ground and being dragged out periodically for beatings and interrogations.

      What is the connection between Marx;s critique of Capitalism(Capital 3 vols.) and Stalin’s totalitarian dictatorship? Marx argued for “worker liberation”, Stalin oppressed them.

      By the way Marx and Smith were in agreement on the “labor theory if value”.

    This past election shows once more how much hatred we have in this country and all over the world against God, against common sense.
    The Democratic party has become the party of evil. Many people were not aware until now of what they are capable. They want their way or the no way.
    The election of Donald Trump is an divine act. And let them whine and whine and whine until their voice will fade out to nothing.
    The vast majority of people love America and they will succeed to change the dangerous course Obama inflicted upon us. The time is over.

        Well: write to him and his team.

        Let them know, briefly and to the point, that you want ALL American ‘aid’ – including military – to ANY Islamic entity whatsoever, STOPPED. That you want ALL Muslim immigration, STOPPED, ASAP. That you want the Muslim Brotherhood and all its known operatives and wholly-owned franchises banned, and rooted out of America; and that you *also* want Fethulla Gulen given the boot, as well, every last one of them, all their ‘charter schools’ that they use for Islamisation and dawa shut down. That you want all non-citizen Muslims given the boot, and some good constitutional lawyers put to work to deal with a situation the Founders never had to confront: the Mohammedan Fifth Column, people holding citizenship who have **sworn their oath of allegiance FALSELY and intend nothing less than the destruction of the sovereign infidel state of the USA**. (And copy the lot to your Senator and Congresscritter).

        Why? The answer is as simple as this, simple as a Tweet – “Got Muslims? Got Jihad”.

        (Make sure your Congresscritter hears that phrase).

        Everybody in the Counterjihad should be saying that, tweeting that, posting that, over and over and over and over and over.

        Also: whenever you get the chance, use the phrase “the religion of blood and war” to describe ISLAM (TM – Winston Churchill – *he* coined that phrase, in his book “The Story of the Malakand Field Force). The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Don’t give up before we begin. Start by countering the deadly ‘religion of peace’ meme (created by a sly mohammedan dawa artist living in British India in the 1930s). Every chance you get, talk about ‘the religion of blood and war’. Every time there’s a jihad attack, such as the attack in London – USE IT.

        And if you’re not in ACT for America, join up and get to work.

    Clinton would’ve liked to have the federal gov’t raise our children accordingly and maybe even according to the “Platonic ideal state”. Our current academic institutions are obvious in their insidious brain washing of college students, infecting them with Platonic ideas that were repudiated long since and recognized as being non viable in the real world. Our current constitution is the most well balanced and protective document in the history of the world, it should be placed in amber.

    This argument goes back to the ancient greeks Plato and his student Aristotle the latter who despised the formers idea of communism and also Plato’s idea of men having common wives and children being given to the state at birth. All the small minded ineffectual, so called leaders being elected would love nothing more than that, which would effectively create an unelected, tyrannical American emporer at some point (and put them out if a job). Good bye elections and social education for EVERYONE. That idea is also basically proposing to bring Nazi Germany ‘baby factories’ to our era in our country. I’d hope they wouldn’t want go that far but just listen to people like Bill Mhar squeak his incoherent Marxist ideology. !!! IDIOTS !!!

    I really dont think that people have really fully grasped what we have avoided in electing Donald Trump, not just what we think we might gain back or how we might hopefully prosper. Even some Trump voters IMHO.

    Family first, raised by real accessible, loving, blood related people thank you.

    • Carolyne says

      Apr 6, 2017 at 5:13 pm

      I agree that a lot of people do not yet understand what we avoided by electing President Trump. It might be the salvation of America, but the way his opposition is acting, I don’t know if they will allow it. It seems they want to destroy Mr. Trump’s Presidency, but in so doing, they don’t seem to understand that they are destroying America. Maybe they don’t care.

      We no longer live in a civil society. Many of us hold to our values, but when you see women like Ashley (I’m a nasty woman) Judd, that idiot (Thinking of blowing up the White House) Madonna, and the fake Muslim Sarsour, you have to wonder where are their civilized counterparts. Do they exist?

      • common sense says

        Apr 6, 2017 at 5:31 pm

        On a positive note we can say yes! 63 million deplorables strong! I get paid tomorrow to and wont pay any jizya either.

          Yes, I realize that many of us go to work every day, support our families and collect our checks without having to pay jizyah, but my point was why are none of us marching in the streets demanding justice. Guess we’re too busy being civilized.

          But Madonna and Ashley Judd have made their fortunes courtesy of people who like to see them entertain, so they can waste their time being fools.

    Excellent exposé of a dark corner of the human soul, and a very helpful compendium of all the “usual suspects” from the past still held in the highest respect in many quarters.

    Masochistic longing for humiliation and suffering seems to motivate a lot of “political” action that is otherwise difficult to comprehend, such as the joyous embrace of Islamic supremacism and indeed rape by some “LGBT” activists who would be the first to be murdered under Islamic rule.

    “Lawrence of Arabia” is said to have been raped in an Ottoman prison. Years later back in England, he arranged a reenactment of the rape.

    This is a very well-reasoned article with many fine insights, but I have to disagree with the final thesis. The neo-Marxist, Islamophilic leftists don’t want to be slaves.

    They want to be Kapos.

    They want to live in a nihilistic, concentration camp world in which they are given leave and power by omnipotent Islamic masters to torment and eventually extirpate, body and soul, those upon whom they project their own fears, failings and self-hatred. Inwardly they know that a global Islamic Caliphate won’t spare them, any more than it will spare the other enemies of Allah, but they wait and work and submit for the chance to exert absolute, murderous power over their ideological enemies, if only for a precious few weeks or days. Of course, like the Kapos of Auschwitz, Treblinka and Majdanek they too will go to the ovens when their usefulness comes to an end, but to them it will be the denouement, an absolution of their sins, to be put to death by their Islamic masters. It will have been worth the sacrifice, to have had the chance to annihilate those who have held before them so dark a mirror.

      As the brilliant William J. Federer explains, there are four potential reasons why politicians behave in such an apparently craven way in the face of Islamic supremacism:

      1/ They’re ignorant. They know little or nothing about Islam and vote for feel-good causes-du-jour.

      2/ They’re afraid. They know enough about Islam to be frightened to criticize it, or they fear loss of job, votes, prestige and peer approval if they oppose the party line.

      3/ They’re on the take. Some of those trillions of Saudi petrodollars are finding a home in pols’ pockets.

      4/ They’re complicit. They support the advance of Islam for reasons of religion (open or crypto-Muslim), power, hatred of Western culture, dewy-eyed idealism, or whatever.

      One of the four will cover just about every Western politician in office today, with a few exceptions. They’re the ones with the 24/7 bodyguards.

      “I had the privilege of personally asking [ex-Muslim convert to Christianity, Canon Dr] Patrick Sookhdeo on his New Zealand tour why Cameron et al spout nonsense about Islam after Lee Rigby’s murder.

      Of course there are Nuaym bin Masuds (closet converts to Islam, like that bloke Brennan at the CIA; ‘going native’ is an occupational hazard in certain trades). There are the traitors, the greedy, the blackmailed, the fools.

      But for many, I suspect that it is as simple as that.

      Because they were ill-informed they let the Mohammedan fifth column get inside the gates. And now it *is* inside the gates they are afraid.

      Two other things – 1/ 1973, oil embargo, deals with the devil

      2/ Pakistani Muslim *nukes*. I’d like to know how much leverage *that* gives the Ummah; I’d like to know just how many threats are made behind closed doors, to infidel leaders, generals, diplomats… again, FEAR.

    From the article – “16% of French citizens support ISIS.” There are 7% to 8% of Muslims living in France. Who makes up the rest 8% to 9%?”

    I’m not so sure that the Muslim percentage of the french population is *only* 7 to 8 percent, by now.

    I’ve a suspicion it would be higher. (As I also have a suspicion that the *real* percentage of Muslims in the UK is significantly higher than the *official* statistics declare).

    I did not read the article. That picture is so sad that women in the picture are proud of covering their hair and body as dictated by evil Islam. How can that be in the 21th century?

    While there are plenty of people in the left and among atheists who deserve criticism over their stance on Islam and Muslims and the threat they pose to Western civilization–and left-wing parties across the West are mostly enablers of Islamization–Alexander Maistrovoy’s article is heavily dependent on his own fantasies, low on fact and research. The major Western politicians and leaders who are enabling Islam and extolling its wonders are almost all, if not all, Christians (Bush, Blair, Obama, practically all of the current Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S., Merkel, Trudeau, and so on). The problem of soft or Islam-enabling policies has to be blamed on people who are actually in power and implementing and maintaining them, and in this case most of these people are religious, not atheists. (I’m not claiming that religious adherence generally or necessarily leads to dangerous Islamophilia; religious and non-religious elements are enabling Islam’s growth through the West). The malady of publicly-displayed Islamophilia is more extensive on the left than the right, but it is prevalent enough in the right that criticism is deserved there also.

    ““16% of French citizens support ISIS.” There are 7% to 8% of Muslims living in France. Who makes up the rest 8% to 9%?””

    It would not surprise me, as Dumbledoresarmy above suggests, that the percentage of Muslims in France was higher than 7 or 8% as of the time of the poll. I don’t think Muslims are 16% in the general population, but at least some of the remaining 8 or 9% could include Muslims. It would also not be surprising if some of that 8 or 9% were in fact hard leftists, anarchists, etc., who would “sympathize” with a terrorist group such as ISIS, for any number of reasons. That would surprise no one. What is more important about the poll is that, at least superficially, it implies a huge amount of support for ISIS among Muslims in France, whereas we are so often told by media that groups such as ISIS are rejected by the vast majority of Muslims.

    The word Newsweek article uses is “sympathizes,” not supports, and they don’t link to the original poll. They don’t cite the margin of error, but it’s probably at least 3 or 4% given the typically small sample sizes taken by pollsters these days. There a numerous factors that could lead to a finding of 16% expressing “sympathy” for a group, even if they oppose (not support) the group. There can be some strange results for the questions about ISIS. ISIS also get some small level of support from Nigerian Christians, Malaysian Buddhists, and others according to polls, but it is possible that some of these people aren’t responding seriously or carefully, or don’t actually understand what ISIS is. Maybe in 2014 they still thought ISIS was just a rebel group against Assad? Sound familiar?

    But more to the point here, the poll result invalidates Maistrovoy’s argument that there is some kind of broader support among the left and the non-religious for the jihad terrorism and rape being carried out against them.

    “…atheist-apologist for Islam (O my God!) CJ Werleman;”

    Werleman actually started out being critical of Islam, but then he changed his mind and began defending Muslims on political issues, then grew into a kind of Islam apologist, among other things. He was widely rejected by most atheists due to his Islam apologetics (and numerous other problems, such as attacking Harris, Dawkins, Ayaan, and others; his plagiarism, and so on). Now Werleman mainly has only the support of Islamic activists (such as Murtaza Hussain) and leftists such as Glenn Greenwald (who happens to be an atheist but who doesn’t devote much attention to the subject, except for sometimes attacking other atheists who are critical of Islam).

    More importantly though, Maistrovoy’s argument is undermined by the fact that he can not cite the majority of atheists in the West today, whether among public intellectuals known for their atheism or just atheists in the general population, as being Islamophilic.

    Maistrovoy writes: “What they crave for is not religion as such. They don’t want Buddhism, Bahaism, Zoroastrianism, or even the mild Islam of the Sufi or Ahmadiyya version.”

    Here Maistrovoy reveals his ignorance of Islam. “Sufism” is not a mild form of Islam; it is not even a separate form of Islam. Plenty of jihadists past and present were/are Sufis. The fact that someone claims to be a Sufi does not mean they don’t support sharia and jihad. A Muslim can be Sunni and Sufi, Shafi’i and Sufi; these are not mutually exclusive categories.

    Also Maistrovoy reveals his gullibility about the Ahmadis. By and large, Ahmadis in the West are major propaganda jihadists whose claims and denials, when examined carefully, don’t hold up. Ahmadis typically are in favor of laws punishing those who publicly criticize Islam–that much they generally don’t deny to their Western audiences. But, based on the instances I’ve looked into over the years, when pressed they don’t reject violent sharia or violent jihad on a permanent basis.

    Maistrovoy: “They want a religion that would crush them, rape their bodies and souls, and destroy their ego — one that would terrify them and make them tremble with fear, infirmity and impotence.”

    This is fantasy. What is needed is a more serious and realistic assessment of a complex problem that involves many different kinds of people and institutions, many different levels, many different motives and ideologies. Self-indulgent screeds such as Maistrovoy’s will do more to convince our fellow as-yet-to-be-educated Westerners that we in the Counter-jihad are the nut-job fringe that many of the Islamophilic academics, much of the mainstream media, and most Western politicians claim we are, than it will add to anyone’s understanding.

      In Indonesia we had the post-colonial leftist and anti capitalist comunalist Sukarno, steering his country towards communism. The CIA intervened and supported an army coup framing the communists and half a million party members and supporters were murdered and another half million ostracized. At the time of the cold war yes, any renegade general or group of colonels just needed to declare themselves on the side of the west or the east and the Americans or the Soviets helped them to launch a coup d’etat. And after the choice, your oppression was freedom and the other’s oppression was evil. It was when Brave New Wolrd, 1984 and the Animal Farm were written. Then the cold war ended and a number of dictators lost their strategic value and were ditched. Come the third unexpected ideology–Islam, over a period from the Sah to Hosni Mubarak.
      In Indonesia then we had a line of human presidents, up till now, who just kept muddling on–but keeping themselves and the country away from the inevitable demands of Islam–claiming that democracy is man made and sharia comes from God–never aware that as long as we are living on earth, humans will lead us and that Gods mantle gives them power that will corrupt them because power corrupts.
      Still, the problem I see is that the best humanity can do is muddling on, and that people than become impatient and want utopia. And go after that ideal until like Icarus their wings are burned off.
      The groundswell of radical Islam, actually those who want total Islam, is growing and Saudii money is playing a role here too, paying the hammers and chisels chipping away at Indonesia’s tradition of mystical and tolerant Islam.
      Luckily we have Aceh–the only province ruled by sharia, it has become a window on the practice of sharia and most Indonesians don’t like what they see and being Indonesians don’t mind muddling on. I therefore recommend one place in the US to be allowed to esablish sharia as a pilot project. And soon we will have a stream of refugees from these place coming out to warn the rest. Of course, in the end a caliphate will be declared but then the people have seen enough and send in the National Guard. And still will be looking for utopia, but it will not be Islam. After all, the gurus too have run their course.

      And why do Christians support Islam? Because radical Christianity which commands to care for the other and love your enemies and turn the other cheek. Christianity too has become so radicalized that they decided that God was not a Christian and Jesus too moderate. Their mistake, to love your enemies is translated in making your enemies lovable–and go into denial if they’re not. This is the dilemma of Christianity, the dilemma of the meek. That is why Nietschze hated Christianity and Hitler expressed regrets that the Germans were not Muslims.

      And, the other has become the Other…Why Islam, perhaps because it is the ultimate other. Which however, leads to the next fallacy, if you have to love your enemy your enemy’s enemy is your enemy and if you are their enemy, then you are your enemy. And next, the other become the others–victims of heterosexual white males. And of course the other knows what is best for him/her–the species’ survival instincts adjust. Can we blame a parasite to have evolved to take advantage of the host species?

    On another level the ultra rich Politically elite, and some Hollyweirdo elites happily embrace Islam for their shared tunnel vision of strict totalitarianism and I think even worse their disgusting acts of pedophilia and sex slavery.
    Trump might know more than we ever suspected about these sickos in the swamp.

    “… According to a public opinion poll conducted in August 2014 (Madeline Grant, Newsweek), “16% of French citizens support ISIS.” There are 7% to 8% of Muslims living in France. Who makes up the rest 8% to 9%? …
    [the] appeal to Islam [is] to escape from their fears, complexes, helplessness, and uselessness. They choose the despotism of body and spirit to deprive themselves of their freedom – the freedom that has always been an unbearable burden for their weak souls full of chimeras. They crave slavery…”

    The figures for 2014 re support for ISIS are worrying, both inside the community of Muslims and outside of it. This attraction to Militant Islam may be in part existential, as Alexander suggests; it may also represent a weakness of Youth, often caught up with totalitarian thoughts and movements, who cherish their own individual freedom while also thirsty to exercise authority and to dominate others. One feature that stands out in the profiles of the early Marxist and Fascist movements of Europe was the relative youth of their leadership and following compared to the established Political Groups and democratic parliamentary representatives.

      “One feature that stands out in the profiles of the early Marxist and Fascist movements of Europe was the relative youth of their leadership and following compared to the established Political Groups and democratic parliamentary representatives.”

      Then it is of *critical* importance that all people engaged in what one might call the rational counter-jihad (comprising people like Spencer, who eschew conspiracy thinking and doomsday prophesying and any amount of other strange stuff one can find in comments sections of other forums that deal with Islam) MUST find a way to reach and teach *young* Infidels. Their own children and grandchildlren, nieces and nephews, godchildren, pupils (if they are teachers). ACT for America has GOT to create a ‘youth program’ and find a way of creating “youth chapters’.

      Find the young ones who *have* woken up – and that includes *young* apostates from Islam, like Rifqa Bary – and give them a platform.

      The irony is that if you want a Cause worth fighting for, it is the Cause of Life, Love, Freedom, Music, Art, Pet Dogs, Wine… all the things that orthodox Islam HATES like poison and seeks to destroy.

      It is *our* cause, the resistance to Jihad, that should be making the imagination *sing*. We ARE the Order of the Phoenix!

    Ferdinand Celine said that France would not go to “Jewish war,” and claimed that there was an international Jewish conspiracy to start the world war.

    Today, that sort of people says that groups like ISIS are puppets of the USA and their Israeli string-pullers.

    This is all because man-made religion, or man without God… is like…

    A symphony without music
    A sunrise without the light
    A painting without beauty
    A flower without color or fragrance
    A ballerina without grace
    A poem without words
    A song with no voice or melody
    An epic novel without meaning
    An opera with no passion
    A bride without her groom

    It is the Living God who breathes life into my soul
    He puts the opera in my heart
    His Light makes my heart bloom
    as a rose in His sight
    He fills me with love
    for everyone in my path
    He writes the notes
    for the song in my heart
    and the measurements
    for my steps
    He clothes me beautifully
    with love, grace, peace,
    light and joy
    and I walk in them
    and His ways are indescribably beautiful
    beyond any human words
    He puts the heavenly language in your heart
    and then you understand…
    if all walked in this way
    with God
    all weapons would be turned
    into musical instruments
    like harps from which
    to praise Him
    forevermore!

    As for the future, read Revelation chapter 13.
    The darkest part of the night comes before dawn.
    I know ahead of time and I am not afraid.

    Don’t these twin Feminazis Kapo Gloria Steinem and Mujahid Linda Sarsour make a lovely couple!

    Steinem evidently concurs with the erudite explanation of eminent Saudi Shaykh, ‘Abd-al-Rahman bin Nasir al-Barrak as to why there is no equality in Islam (perhaps she’s already converted);

    “What is the ruling on the saying uttered by some people: “Islam is a religion of equality”?
    Answer: Praise be to Allah. Many people have spoken the phrase, “Islam is a religion of equality.” They should know that this statement is heinous and false. Some Muslims may say it out of good intentions, seeking to praise and glorify Islam. Perhaps they don’t know the real truth behind this phrase. This phrase is spoken by some whimsical people, who thereby reach out for purposes that are contrary to the law of Islam, such as the equality of rights between Muslims and infidels, and between men and women. They do this for the infidels, running behind their ways and their calls. But Allah hath differentiated between men and women in terms of rights, duties, and judgments. He hath also differentiated between Muslims and infidels in terms of judgments and penalties. The universal, legitimate, and penal Sunnah of Allah recognizes the differences–this is common sense. The Qur’an is frank in rejecting equality among things that are different. The Most High said: “Not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor the darknesses and the light, nor the shade and the heat, and not equal are the living and the dead…” [Qur’an 35:19-22]. He also said, “Are those who know equal to those who do not know? Only they will remember who are people of understanding” [Qur’an 39:9]. […] The Almighty also said, “The woman is not like the man.” He also said regarding the inheritance of sons and brothers, “The man receives the fortune of two women.”
    Therefore there should only be equality among things which are identical. The ruling of one thing is also the ruling of its counterpart, logically and legally. Therefore we believe in all of the messengers of Allah: “We do not differentiate between one of his messengers.” We also disbelieve in everything which worships something other than Allah: “Say, ‘O infidels, we do not worship what you worship’.” It is correct to say, “Islam is a religion of justice.” Justice means placing things in their proper places, by giving everyone his proper right. This includes some things which are known logically, and others which are known only by the law, and others which fit in both categories.
    There are two issues here which are defined and called for by the UN, and which it requires every member nation to apply, specifically targeting Muslims. The first issue is regarding the difference between Muslims and infidels. It is known that this contradicts the shari’a of Islam, in terms of retribution, inheritance, marriage, brotherhood, and loyalty. […] The call for equality between Muslims and infidels has been made in conferences and seminars under the banner of humanitarianism and the like. Branching out from this is the call for coexistence, religious dialogue, and world peace, by which they deceive the Muslims into giving up the law of jihad in the path of Allah, and Allah’s requirement of disloyalty to the unbelievers.
    The second issue: the call for equality between men and women. The UN issued this in a document entitled, “Preventing Discrimination Against Women,” […]
    Allah hath differentiated between men and women in the shari’a of Islam, required by their natures and legacy. [He hath differentiated] among them in inheritance and testimony, in the cordiality of a man toward a woman, in rights in marriage, in clothing, in comings and goings, in travel, in mandate, and in responsibilities. […]

    Sheikh ‘Abd-al-Rahman bin Nasir al-Barrak, Fatwa No. 38610, October 7, 2010″
