THE THREAT FROM ISLAMOFASCISM
First of all, let me make it clear, that I do not hate Muslims or Islam per say. That is why I am using the term Islamofascism to describe this particular branch of Islam which is very much threat. I believe the Prime Minister of England Tony Blair has said it best. “This is not a clash between civilizations. It is a clash about civilization.” I am constantly amazed at the ignorance of the history of Islam and even its doctrines. A big part of the problem is that our educational system, fails to properly inform its students about the true nature of Islam. I blame this on Multiculturalism or Moral Equivalence. This philosophy basically says that all values or cultures are equal and it is wrong to judge another culture by the values of your own. I hope the problems with this philosophy are self evident. I will not discuss them further unless someone else wants to defend this thinking.
The fist major ignorance that I have encountered is that the history of Islam is no different than Christianity. They of course always mention the crusades and the inquisition. What they do not know is that the proliferation of Islam is almost always due to military conquest. So much for the claim “that Islam is a religion of peace.”
The other factor that everyone should know is that a large factor of Arabic Islam embraced the Nazi’s. In fact the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem spent most of WWII in Berlin and gathered a large number of Muslims to fight for the Germans on the Eastern Front. In fact, despite the belief by the Germans that Arabs were inferior (race wise) they formed several SS groups. Also the Bath parties of both Syria and Iraq were based upon German Fascism.
Incidentally, Arafat claimed the Grand Mufti as an uncle. Whether or not any Islamic country can long embrace Democracy or Republicanism remains to be seen. Turkey for quite awhile flirted with democracy but currently, seems to have abandoned it. Many liberals like to blame all of the problems with Islam on Wahhabism, but that does not explain all of the attacks perpetrated in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Southern Thailand, Iran and numerous other none Arabic countries. Please note that for the most part, major Islamic leaders have not really condemned the logic of these groups. They refuse to excommunicate them or even argue with them on the grounds of scripture from the Koran. Until a significant number of believers of Islam begin to seriously counter their beliefs nothing will really change. This battle has been going on for centuries. It is much more serious now, that because of access to large amounts of monies by the selling of Petroleum they can afford technologies to WMD’s. It is not unreasonable to believe that a major US city will be attacked with WMD’s in our lifetime. If you think 9/11 caused major economic havoc in the West, wait for the effects of these attacks to occur. I encourage all of you to learn more about Islam and discuss these matters amongst your friends. The future of Civilization depends upon it.
