Andrew C. McCarthy, bestselling author, former federal prosecutor, and National Review contributing editor, read my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS and had this to say:
Jihad is not mere terrorism. Ironic as it may seem, that is Western wishful thinking. From its inception, as Robert Spencer incontestably illustrates, jihad has been the outward, aggressive expression of a conquest ideology. The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS is as relentless in relating unvarnished truth as is the phenomenon it tracks in seeking domination—and never being satisfied with less, however long it takes. Those who care to preserve Western rationalism, civil liberties, and free societies must confront this history, and its implications, with eyes opened.
Have you ordered the book yet? It’s the first and only comprehensive history of the entire phenomenon of jihad, from Spain to India and many, many other places — with massive implications for public policy, both foreign and domestic. Order it here now.

Yes, because the history was dictated by the doctrine and the doctrine hasn’t changed and can’t change because the doctrine claims it is the word of God.

Terry you nailed it.

After Islam is eradicated (hopefully) in the future. Humanity should be kept educated how evil, in this case Islam, can triumph if it is not fought back at all times.
Vann Boseman says
I cannot imagine that Islam could ever be eradicated. Even while any culture emerging from Islam must necessarily be inferior to other cultures, especially Western culture, Islam has a certain appeal to the baser side of human nature. Islam can and should be pushed back against ideologically, politically, and militarily. First and foremost, Islam is a blight upon humanity. Secondarily, it is a political movement, military movement, and a religion. In viewing Islam as first and foremost a blight upon humanity, it is important to recognize that the nature of this blight is that it seeks dominance over any other ideology that is not Islam.
The West and the East have pushed back against Islam before militarily to great effect. Humanity accomplished the industrial revolution. Especially when the practice of medicine caught up with the advancement of the industrial revolution, in the twentieth century, the world population grew tremendously and was able to be maintained for the first time in human history. This happened because people before the industrial revolution pushed back against Islam.
The best that can be hoped for in my opinion is for Islam to be pushed back against again. Tolerance of Islam as seen purely as a religion at a national level is weakness. If individual states want to tolerate Islam, that is ok. If individual states want to outlaw the practice of Islam, that is ok too. But the Constitution does not represent a suicide pact. A devout, doctrinaire Muslim cannot honestly advocate for the US Constitution.
There were states that had state religions under the Constitution before. The first amendment only covers what the national government can do, but I say again that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Given this, a state should not be able to have a state religion of Islam, and remain a part of the United States. Were a state to outlaw Islam, then I would be glad that such a state was that enlightened. Though it is not the place for me or any other American to deny what I would see as a distasteful option of declaring a state religion, Islam does not count. Islam does not count because it is first and foremost a blight upon humanity that is incompatible with the US Constitution.

Andrew McCarthy on The History of Jihad: “Those who care to preserve free societies must confront this history”
……………………
*Yes*.
somehistory says
satan the devil took all of his evil ideas and machinations and concentrated them into an evil soup which he then gave to the twisted mind of that mass murdering, raper of children.
It is all lawless as it goes completely against Divine Law, Moral Law, commanding all to break these Good Laws, and punishing those who refuse to give in to the evil.
As satan masquerades as “an angel of light,” moslims pretend that islam is a peaceful religion and leads people in the right way, murdering, raping, extorting, and lying as they go.

Wishful thinking that Islam will be eradicated (as much I hope U are right)… I think the free world can only cut its losses now to this cancer….. It has gone way beyond the point of no return, I’m grudgingly saying this. It is only because of people like Robert and Bill Warner and David Wood, this cancer is finding its way a bit slowed down, BUT STOP IT NEVER WILL… It has completely wormed into the free world like a Trojan.. When U have people like MAD MAAMA and the Turd as leaders WHO REFUSE to see reason even when presented with the gravest of evidences.. what more to expect…. Other than that proverbial miracle from the firmament above, I’m sorry Islam is here to stay… only because it has been allowed to now and in the future..The day the lib left and the mad feminazzis give up their infatuation with this malignancy, we can some hope… Till that time thank Ur stars that people like Dr Warner, David Wood, and Spencer exist in this world. As I have said earlier and I repeat, that these men will be appreciated only after their time on this earth. (sadly and unfortunately)
Older Canadian says
Islam will never disappear. People need religion, to justify life, and need something to look forward to after death. There are over 4,200 religions in the world. Each follower believes their religion is the right one. What humans of all stripes need to do is to learn how to live side-by-side, do as they will, but cause harm to no one. Be kind. But this is an impossibility if they are taught from wee child up that only they are the right one, and all others are evil, and to abandon that view is either eternal damnation, or eternal extinguishment. No win for the world until the fighting stops over who has the most peaceful religion.
