The West And Islam Are Incompatible: We Just Haven't Admitted It Yet

Muslims are busily murdering Christians throughout Africa and the Middle East, and in almost every Muslim country they are a persecuted minority. Notice I didn't mention Jews in Muslim countries! They have already been driven out, and while there are scattered and tiny Jewish communities in some Muslim countries, the vast majority were expelled, especially in the Middle East.

While Islam holds a special hatred of Jews and Judaism, Christianity is also in its crosshairs. And there are many more Christians than Jews, so Christianity is a much bigger and easier target! Just look at current day Syria, or Egypt, where Coptic Christians used to be a majority, but are now a persecuted minority. And Nigeria seems to be among the worst, with an estimated 50,000 Christians murdered by Islamic terrorists in the last 15 years. Iraq, Indonesia, Pakistan, Libya, Congo... you name the Muslim country, and there has been persecution.

Apostasy against Islam is a capital offense in many Muslim countries, including such modern and enlightened places such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, yet they are treated as if they are civilized countries! And Christianity is an obvious placeholder for Western Culture!

And this is nothing new. Islam has been on the march for its entire existence, and it is only the post-modern conceit and stupidity that all cultures are of equal worth that has fooled the West to welcome its savagery, and has conspicuously ignored its intransigent political philosophy.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

That quotation is 125 years old, yet it could have been written yesterday. Except Churchill would have been far more pessimistic about the West's chances, and would have railed against the ignorance of our current leaders.

We are in an existential battle for the existence of our culture, and we haven't even admitted to ourselves that there is even any difference between Islam and Christianity/Judaism. Until we are honest with ourselves, and recognize that Islam is a political philosophy that uses a carefully crafted religion to achieve its goals, we will continue to lose ground to a 7th century culture with 21st century weapons and communication.

And those goals are antithetical to everything that Western culture has created over 3,000 years. The rationality of science, the equality of Man, the recognition of the individual, self determination, the abandonment of the concept of Woman as chattel, the free exercise of religion: all of these and more are in jeopardy.

Will the West awaken to this danger? Will there need to be a catastrophe on the scale of a world war to rip off our blinders? Will it be a Pakistani or Iranian nuclear device (or one supplied to a Muslim nation by North Korea or Russia or China) detonated in a Western capital? Will it be a biological attack that destroys American agriculture? Will it be an attack on Israel that triggers an Israeli nuclear attack on a Muslim nation?

Who knows, but perhaps a fight is preferable to the creeping destruction of the West!
