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

New review of The History of Jihad: “If only every government official in the non-Muslim world would read it”

Dec 2, 2018 11:58 am By Robert Spencer

“The camel’s nose,” The Atheist Conservative, December 2, 2018:

The camel’s nose is under the tent.

This camel – named Jihad – has thrust his nose far under the tent of the United States’ federal government.

There were two Muslims in Congress: Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), now attorney-general of Minnesota, and Andre Carson (D-Ind.), still a member of the House of Representatives.

Two more have been elected: Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who took her brother as a second husband. For her, laws against bigamy, incest, visa-cheating and perjury are being ignored.

For them, Congress is already prepared to change one of its rules.

Time magazine reports:

The new rule was co-authored by Omar, Rep. Jim McGovern, ranking Democrat on the Rules Committee, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. The proposal states that it will “ensure religious expression” and “clarify in the rules that religious headwear is permitted to be worn in the House chamber”.

So Ilhan Omar can be in obedience to the rules when she wears her hijab in the House. No scofflaw she!

It is as if, to the Democrats, 9/11 never happened.

How far (we wonder) will a Democrat-dominated House go to allow the customs and even the laws of Islam to take preference over, and so supersede, the customs and laws of the United States?

How far into the tent will the camel be allowed to intrude?

This is how Robert Spencer concludes his book The History of Jihad from Muhammad to ISIS*. (We highly recommend it. If only every leader and government official in the non-Muslim world, and every teacher at every education level, would read it and keep it for continual reminder of the appalling threat that Islam poses to us all!)

In the twenty-first century, the leaders of Europe, as well as many in North America, have brought almost certain doom on their countries no less unmistakable that that which befell Constantinople on May 29, 1453. Instead of taking responsibility for what they have done, they have doggedly stayed their course. They would have denounced the doomed Emperor Constantine XI, like his tragic predecessor Manuel II, as “Islamophobic”, and his exhortation to defend Constantinople to the death as “militaristic” and “xenophobic”.

Muhammad is supposed to have said it so long ago: “I have been made victorious through terror.” In the early twenty-first century, he is being proven correct. As the fourteen-hundred-year Islamic jihad against the free world continues to advance, the best allies the warriors of jihad have are the very people they have in their sights.

Constantinople was a center of high civilization. In a section titled The Fall of Constantinople of Chapter Six of Spencer’s book, The Jihad Advances Into Europe, he describes what happened to the Christian, Greek-speaking population.

[T]hey made the streets run with blood. Historian Steven Runciman notes that the Muslims “slew everyone that they met in the streets, men, women, and children without discrimination. The blood ran in rivers down the steep streets from the heights of Petra toward the Golden Horn”. …

Muslims raided  monasteries and convents, emptying them of their inhabitants, and plundered private houses. They entered the Hagia Sophia, which for nearly a thousand years had been the grandest church in Christendom. The faithful had gathered within its hallowed walls to pray during the city’s last agony. … The Muslims then killed the elderly and weak and led the rest off into slavery.

    On the topic of the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad, as well as the subject of Islamic terrorism, the scholar and author , Robert Spencer ,in this book which has the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS. In the book on page 371 the reader is informed that “Muhammad is supposed to have said ‘I have been made victorious through terror.’ In the early twenty-first century, he is being proven correct. As the fourteen-hundred –year Islamic jihad against the free world continues to advance…”

    Also regarding many of those Muslim migrants who have entered America as well as the European countries and then show only contempt .dishonor and reproach towards the people of those Western nations who were kind yet foolish enough to allow them, those Muslim migrants to enter, invade, their home countries of Europe in the first place. This type of situation is f reflected in the Bible .Which reads “When the wicked comes, contempt comes also; with dishonor comes reproach.” Proverbs 18:3. [N.K.J.V.]

    Furthermore, those jihadist Muslims with their Islamic way of thinking by their well thought Islamic schemes for the action of involvement in their violent and sheath jihad for the advancement of Islam in the many different Western nations. Those sly scheming jihadists are, somewhat, of a reminder of the information reveled in the Bible in Proverbs 15:26. In which the reader is informed that even “The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord…”

    Read it from cover to cover, have promoted the book everywhere possible, and I’m now halfway through on the second reading.

    Islam is such a major threat to the western world ( well, to all of the non-Muslim world) that I agree that every politician should be forced to read Robert Spencer’s book. It would wake a few of the useless, lazy dopes ( who seem to know nothing about Islam) up. Then again, I wonder if it would make a difference, because it’s hard to know whether our political masters are ignorant of Islam’s vile nature or whether they do know the truth but lack the courage to confront the issue. Maybe they figure that it requires too much of an effort to fight against Islam and they won’t be around to see the appalling results of their failure to do the right thing. You know, it’s all just too hard for them. They just kick the can down the road. As Robert Spencer writes in the conclusion to his book, (quoted above), the appeasers of Islam have “doggedly stayed their course”. I believe the politicians who have appeased Islam will be judged very harshly by history. I think the leaders of Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia will be praised by future generations.

      “every politician should be forced to read Robert Spencer’s book”

      I agree, Tim. They should also be required to pass a post – reading exam.

        I think you’re right, James. Some of them are probably so stupid that they could read Robert Spencer’s book detailing the atrocities committed by Muslims in the murderous 1400 year history of Islam and still not comprehend the evil nature of islam. However, most of the politicians who read Spencer’s book would have to face up to the truly horrendous nature of Islam and that is probably one of the reasons they would refuse to read the book. They want to go on believing the “Islam is peaceful” crap. Denial makes for an easier life

          Agreed, Tim. Denial means denial, and irrefutable arguments can be futile against denial.

          People often prefer to cling to comfortable illusions, rather than face uncomfortable reality. They will deny that illusions are illusions.

        • tim gallagher says

          Dec 3, 2018 at 3:27 pm

          Yes, Rufolino, it’s amazing how some people can keep denying reality. Some people do seem to rely on wishful thinking that things will turn out OK. As you say, it is the “comfortable” aspect of these illusions that appeals. It allows some people to have a nice, comfortable life while ignoring reality. The trouble is that it isn’t facing up to the problem and solving it. It can’t work in the long run.

    Every government official in the non-Muslim world and most Muslims should read the History of Jihad, because they DO NOT KNOW THE HISTORY OF JIHAD.

    Robert Spencer’s book draws on the original sources writings of Muslims who detailed how they carried out attacks on disbelieving KAFIRS and they also described their INSPIRATION for those killings derived from the Koran and hadiths.

    Government elites and policy makers especially cannot make well-informed decisions about jihad without reading HISTORY OF JIHAD.
