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

Turkey: Muslim columnist says he opposes education, sports, culture, and enlightenment

Dec 7, 2018 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

He said it. His anti-intellectualism follows in the footsteps of the caliph Umar, who is supposed to have said when ordering the ancient, fabled library of Alexandria to be burned: “If the books agree with the Qur’an, they are superfluous. If they disagree with it, they are heretical.”

“I am against education, sports, culture, and enlightenment says Turkish Islamist columnist,” Ahval, December 5, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

I am a person who opposes education, sports, culture, and enlightenment, said Islamist columnist Abdurrahman Dilipak in his column in pro-government daily Yeni Akit on Tuesday.

“Please, do not make my children complacent, educate them,” said Dilipak, who wrote that it is possible to educate and tame animals, but not people.

The columnist said that education was the invention of what he called “the white man,” who had established schools to teach others, such as Native Americans and Asians, to behave according to his own rules, based on his own needs and security concerns….

Dilipak criticised those promoting education, sports, and culture for acting as through they are divine beings….

The columnist said that education, sports, and culture were products of the enlightenment philosophy that dominated Western thinking after the 1789 French revolution. “In fact enlightenment is the name of the operation that aimed to sanctify and universalise Western politics, economics, theology, history, and looting,” he said.

    I suppose since this guy is applied to education he isn’t educated himself enough to know history….China had schools, sports, culture thousands of years before the White man” . And last time I checked, Chinese aren’t “white” but Asian”, the very people he claims were taught white man rules in schools.
    Jeeze! Moslem thinking makes me have a migraine!

      Quite right, Lilith Wept–so did India. And education and culture also much preceded the Enlightenment in the West. as well–he is so ignorant he apparently knows nothing about the Renaissance, for instance, as well as the even earlier achievements of the Greeks and Romans.

      Still, a Muslim thug like this hating the Enlightenment should come as no surprise, either.

        You don’t need no stinkin’ education if your aim is to “kill and be killed” in the jihad for Allahoochiekoo following which you will spend eternity in the Big Muslim ‘Ho-House in the sky peeling grapes and drinking. Such a subtle, advanced religion. Must be where all those “golden ages” came from. Also reminds me of the Nazi functionary — his name escapes me — who commented that whenever he heard the word “culture” he flipped the safety catch off his gun.

      Of course if ANYONE or ANYTHING disagrees with the Koran or any teachings in Islam …then that PERSON or THING is WRONG and should be destroyed in one way or another so as to align itself with islam. Now how stupid is that..No matter anyway..THE WORLD STANDS STILL and nothing good happens.

    Turkey: Muslim columnist says he opposes education, sports, culture, and enlightenment
    ……………………

    Here in the civilized West, education, sports, and culture are generally what columnists write about. The best of them may actually touch on enlightenment on occasion.

    Not so in Dar-al-Islam–and this is Turkey, where Islam was suppressed enough until fairly recently that you had at least vague aspects of this in society. Less and less so, these days.

    Note, also, that he does not consider education and culture to be broadening, as they should be and often are–but just as a means of control. This is how pious Muslims think. *Ugh*.

    What a hopeless and arid world view.

          In Islam, ‘education’ does not mean ‘critical thought’ or ‘independent analysis’. The purpose of Islamic schools is ROTE MEMORIZATION and the suppression of independent thinking ENTIRELY.

          Islamic education aims for the creation of a JIHAD ARMY to TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

          MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE CURRICULA taught in Saudi schools … approximately 35% of school studies is devoted to compulsory Saudi religious education. Much of that focusses on the duty of Muslims to HATE THE KAFIR and FIGHT THE KAFIR and REMOVE THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF THE KAFIR.

      Yes… what a hopeless barren worldview. Yet…. when the muslim dies, they get to go to a whore house where they drink rivers of wines, get erections whenever, without stop, hordes of voluptuous women fawning over them, and if they like, ‘boys like pearls’ which means …….

      So, this barren hopeless world that commands muslims to say ‘we love death, you love life’ to all others commands a totatly dissolute heavenly reward that is as meaningless, as barren as their desires here on earth. That is the keystone: it is as barren after as it is here. And that should be shown, and discussed and demonstrated again and again and again, especially to all those with blinders about the meaning of it all.

      GI, thanks for that; til “fairly recently” indeed! What an absolute tragedy is Turkey. I know I have PLENTY of company as I shake my head daily & grieve for once-fairly-free lands where Christians resided in PEACE just prior to a certain DISASTROUS 8 year period that was also “fairly recently”. The ENORMOUS damage that’s been done…& those who not only allowed it, but HELPED IT TO HAPPEN, freely roam, laughing at their predecessors, blaming their predecessors for what THEY THEMSELVES are GUILTY of?!

    “he opposes education,sports,culture and enlightenment”

    Why,of course he does:the “holiest ” people in the world{koran 3:110}with their god allah {“the BEST of deceiver’s k3:54}…..their cross-dressing ,self-confessed false prophet{al tabari 6:111…before allah cancelled out his admission..},polygamous,murderer, on his magical winged FLYING HORSE…and their theologically wrong “perfect” koran…..they are WAY too holy and superior to everybody else.Look how much time they spend saying those fatihas{“prayers” which CURSE Jews and Christians:Sorry Jesus the Jew!Sorry Moses the Jew!}

    Of course they OPPOSE such things ..

    …….and like most devout muslims..they don’t seem to be capable of OBEYING ANY of God’s actual commandments{see Exodus 20},No Golden Rule,No respect for other religions,No Love of God,No Love of fellow man{those TWO Chief commandments of God found in Judaism and Christianity but of course MISSING in islam}………No getting along with Jews and Christians see koran 5 v 51,No critical analysis of the koran’s ENORMOUS THEOLOGY FAILS*,no musical instruments,no Art,no Literature,no comedy,no ” song of a songstress”,nothing but hatred for the Jews,Israel,those “polytheist” Christians,Hindus ,Buddhists ,Atheists,Jews…

    ..such a long list….seriously if you are a muslim you really should consider leaving{..be an atheist if you want,it’s reasonable to be agnostic..LOVE or HATE which would you prefer?}

    *like allah’s EPIC failure to even understand the Theology of the Trinity{revealed in the Gospel…that allah says he wrote koran 5v46-47}..when he thinks Christians are guilty of shirk and polytheism thinking God is divided in parts{what?Is God like a cake?That’s NOT it all:it’s really an integrated whole.Christians are MONOTHEISTS.allah’s failure to understand Theology is quite hilarious:he also doesn’t know where God’s Spirit of Wisdom or the source of Biblical Prophecy comes from since he DENIES that aspect of God in koran 4;171 where Biblical Prophecy and God’s Wisdom comes from:Ludicrous!}
    Perhaps if allah understood other languages he might get it..

    “say not “three”Cease!It’s better for you” koran 4:171

    Student;say allah?How many sides are there on a THREE sided TRI angle?
    allah “say not 3” Cease!It’s better for you.A triangle is guilty of shirk:since it is in 3 parts..

    Tending to demonstrate once again that the more Islam you get, or have, the more dismal is life all around, including—in no particular order respecting diminution if not elimination of—music, representational art (think the Sistine Chapel here as an example), liberty, equality under the law, women’s rights, alcohol, fine pork products, fun in general, a true Golden Rule for all, a dearth of control-freak behavior, overall tolerance, and just general graciousness.

    Ah, c’mon, mankind. Islam is the turd in the punch bowl of world religions as I have indicated before and it is no longer any use, indeed it is silliness and stupidity taken to the most indefensible level, to accord this reprobate, rip-off and repulsive excuse for a religion any further respect. I accord it none. No one of sense and knowledge should. Yes, sympathy for so many trapped in Islamthink and who fear it (females come foremost to mind here) need the non-Muslim world as an ally in this struggle, but this should NEVER translate into according to Islam itself any sympathy. Far from it.

    Would that many dhimmis who still do accord Islam any respect would soon do so no longer because many wonderful things like freedom and equality under the law depend on not recognizing Islam as in the least, in any way, whatsoever, etc., a positive. Doubt me? Anyone doubting me here, well then, name just one good thing about Islam that can’t be found elsewhere and consider all the while you try to do so (N.B., you will fail) all the rot in Islam that is quite difficult to find anywhere else.

    Again today at JW I rest my case. I aver that no cogent challenge can refute it (sorry, Ibrahim, but this will leave you off the list), though I readily invite such a challenge. In short, Islam sucks and is the worst idea produced by mankind over the longest period of time in all of mankind’s history.

    Here Islam is #1. Quite the “legacy.” Extraordinarily so. Again, time for a beer.

      Just recently saw a poll showing 68% positive view of Islam among Democrats. (Dumbocrats, where is that spell-check when I need it?) Willful ignorance stirred into the postmodernist brew is a recipe for approaching disaster. Other major religions go through an early ignorance-is-holy phase — Christianity included, though probably no one here wants to hear that — but there is nothing early about Islam. Dilipak is the product of 1,400 years of refining arrogant superstition to an art. No wonder virtually every one of Islam’s vaunted “achievements” have been taken from other cultures, usually at the point of a scimitar.

    • gravenimage says

      Islam violently rejects everything that makes life worth living. And Wellington, I would add the rejection of love to that dismal list.

    Jehovah’s Witnesses and the suicidal Heaven’s Gate Cult have something in common. Their members are(were) proud to admit they have been brainwashed. Muslims pretty much admit their own brainwashing. Zakir Naik sums it up: if a fact agrees with the Quran/Hadith it’s true, if it disagrees it’s false. Islam is a religion tailor made for people who don’t like thinking and want their religion simple and easy to understand. Hard questions are left up to the “scholars” and even they can’t figure out how to divvy up an inheritance that doesn’t contradict one of Allah’s own inheritance rules.

      Jehovah’s Witnesses–whatever my disagreements with them–are not out oppressing and slaughtering others.

    “The problem is that the protesters themselves are so far too close to the picture, too much inside it, to realise that their fight is part of the general struggle against global replacementism, Davocracy,” Camus said, referring to the globalist elites who meet at the World Economic Forum every year in Davos, Switzerland.

    He also noted that the protestors were “exemplified by the fact that practically all protesters belong to the indigenous, colonised, invaded, conquered people, the ‘natural’ French people.”

    OK, so when did Islam have anything to do with ‘education, sports, culture and enlightenment’ apart from the sort of ‘nocturnal athletics’ that rabbits are good at and the kind of culture that you might find in a toxic laboratory dish?

    Provide him encouragement.The more backward Muslims are, the less they will
    think of creating trouble for others. Besides, most of their income will go for
    buying arms from the advanced countries. As a result they will starve, and
    their population will dwindle.
