Eyes Wide Shut

11. Any discussion of the threat, or, in fact, whether there is a threat, must begin with asking whether it is our civilization is the cause of the animosity of Islam toward the West, or if it is an inalienable aspect of Islam itself that is and will always be inimical to Western Civilization.



The holy book is not subject to change:

Quran 8:12: "Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: 'I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.'" In The Name Of Allah - Islam & Torture or Torment

Quran 8:7: "Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: 'Wipe the infidels out to the last.'"

Quran 8:59: "The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah's enemy."

Quran 47:4: "Strike off the heads of the disbelievers" and, after making a "wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives."

Hadith Sahih Muslim (41:6985): "Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: 'The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.'"

Quran 9:5: "When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, torture them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."



“Christians and Jews....the more devout, the less violent. Not so with Islam.”
Bill Donohue


I believe we have the answer. Hopefully, the members of our civilization will open their eyes to the danger….


….or, is it too late.
 
1.How is it possible to have opinions about public policy if one has been trained to ignore the facts?
'Cause that is the training that government schooling and the media has imposed on the public.



Writing about the intermittent, yet constant, jihadi attacks throughout the world, Melanie Phillips notes, this is “merely the most visible sign of a much more intractable problem…within Western civilization. …the advance of the global jihad is being facilitated by a wholesale collapse of Western values and national identity….While attention is fixed on foreign battlegrounds, the war is in danger of being lost at home.”

Yet Liberal predomination in the schools and throughout the media has demanded that any recognition of, comments on, warning about, an enemy within, is tantamount to bigotry, racism, and one sort of phobia or another.




2.Islamic civilization exists under a common religious belief authorized in a sacred text whose law is never to be altered. Rather than freedom, it is defined by submission. Understanding can be found by looking deeply into the Arabic verb 'salima,' from which are derived 'Islam,' 'salm,' and 'salaam,' meaning submission, peace, and safety. ["The Handy Religion Answer Book" By John Renard, P. 193], implying 'to be secure,' 'unharmed,' or 'blameless.' Therefore, to be Muslim is to have surrendered, submitted, and obtained security.

The concepts, doctrines, and views are timeless, and remain unchanged since the seventh century. Any who believe that this movement has changed and moved into modernity, are sadly….perhaps terminally….mistaken.



3. "How does that compare with the rewards offered by Western society? Western civilization has left behind its religious belief and its sacred text to place its trust, not in religious certainties, but in "open discussion, trial and error, and the ubiquitousness of doubt."
Perhaps not unexpected, as the West offers freedoms unheard of in Islamic countries, 70% of the world's refugees are Muslims fleeing from places where their religion is the official doctrine. They flee to the West, for opportunity, and personal safety, as well as said freedom.


But...the oddity is that, while settling in the West, many of these refugees begin to develop a hatred for their new home...and plan to take revenge on it with only its final destruction as the fitting punishment.

Even less understandable, those Muslims who settle and assimilate often have children, brought up in the West, yet identify as opposition to it, and desire its annihilation.”
Roger Scruton, "The West and The Rest."






Would this be possible if not for the either agreement with, or lack of concern by, the political elites?

Why is that????



The very same willful ignorance can be found in the UK

"Six months before the London bombs, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, said: "There is nothing wrong with being an Islamic fundamentalist." When the journalist interviewing him suggested that the family of Theo van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker who was killed for questioning Islamic attitudes to women, might beg to differ on that one, Sir Ian replied, "There were lots of fundamentalist Muslims who didn't shoot him....

.... the British police say they do not use the phrase "Islamic terrorism" or even "Islamist terrorism." They use other phrases instead, such as "international terrorism." They say that it is as misleading to talk about Islamic terrorists as it would be to refer to the IRA as Catholic terrorists. But this comparison reveals a major category confusion. True, the IRA were Catholics and their adversaries were Protestants. But their cause was not Catholicism. It was a united Ireland. They did not want to impose the authority of the Pope upon Britain. They wanted their own authority over Ireland. There is simply no comparison to the agenda of the Islamists who want to defeat the West in the name of Islam, impose Sharia law and re-establish the medieval caliphate throughout the world. That is a religious war, a jihad transposed from the seventh century to today. And that is what the police and much of the British establishment are desperate to deny.

He amplified this by saying that while the bombers may have been Muslim the crime was not Islamic because Islam forbade the taking of innocent life. That may well be so; but across the world, hundreds of thousands of innocent lives have been ended by terrorists who are doing so under the banner of Islam, find justification in Islam for their deeds and are told by Islamic religious authorities that such actions are a religious duty. At a stroke, therefore, this senior British policeman had denied not only the nature of the atrocity on British soil but the whole basis of the war against the West..."http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?...uicide-of-the-west.html&t=Suicide of the West
