It will be clear to any reasonable person, through an objective, contextual
reading of the Qur'an, hadith, and shari'ah (along with the daily news), that
the infidel is an inferior being to be despised, shunned, subdued, killed, or
converted. The position of Islam, vis-à-vis anyone or anything non-Islamic is
one of intolerant hatred (for God's sake) and violence. Such is the anti-human
message of Islam's hateful deity, as manifest and promulgated in the brutal
jihad lifestyle of a hateful, bloodthirsty desert sheikh, whose life is emulated
by Muslims to this day. The hateful book which laid the groundwork for the
fourteen centuries of violence and subjugation visited upon the infidel—and
the obliteration of infidel culture—has never been revised or considered
anything less than God's immutable word for all men at all times. Those who have
challenged this view have paid dearly, and still do.
There is no tolerance where Islam reigns. The Jews and Christians who have
been unfortunate enough to live as second-class dhimmis
("protected" or "guilty" people) under the Islamic state
were routinely humiliated, overtaxed, derided, dispossessed, and were helpless
to defend themselves from Muslim wrath or cruelty. This is the fulfillment of
sura 9:29 which we saw above, and it is a matter of historical record22,
contrary to the modern multicultural facade of an Islamic tolerance that simply
did not exist in Muslim occupied Spain, Egypt, the Balkans, Greece, Israel, and
beyond. The People of the Book (Jews and Christians) who scraped by under their
Muslim overlords weren't "living in peace," as today's Western useful
idiots for Islam claim. They lived in fear and misery. The money extorted from
them—the jizya poll tax—in exchange for being allowed to cower in
their homes, practicing their faith out of sight, was used to fund the jihad war
chest. When they couldn't pay the jizya, they were sometimes compelled to give
up their children who were converted to Islam or enslaved. If they were found
guilty of breaking their covenant of "protection" with the Islamic
state (a guilt which was all but assured, seeing as they had no standing in a
shari'ah court against a Muslim), they were executed or sold into slavery. This
is all in accordance with God's writ in the Qur'an, and Muhammad's degenerate
example in the sunnah, and it continues today.
In the last two centuries, the world has undergone tremendous and tumultuous
change, much of it for the better. Islam hasn't changed with the it. Most of us
have left the Middle Ages far behind where they belong. We've learned, and are
still learning, that our faiths, our laws, and our ways of thinking can be
amenable to pluralism, progress, and forbearing brotherhood with our fellow
human beings, irrespective of race, sex, creed, or ethnicity. Those of us who
are religious have discovered such qualities to be consonant with the principles
of our respective faiths, affirming them even. Those of us who are of a more
secular bent find that this new and positive position of tolerance is simply
noble and just. This is the wheat we have begun winnowing from the chaff of our
pre-Enlightenment/pre-American democracy history. The progress is not as quick
as some would like, but it is progress nevertheless.
By contrast, Islam's inflexible, retrograde dogma still nurtures xenophobia,
gender apartheid, hatred, and violence against the unbeliever wherever it gains
a toehold in a society's consciousness. Its totalitarian program for God is
totally hostile to the most fundamental principles of Western liberal democracy,
which is self-evidently the fairest and most beneficial way of life yet
conceived. This is not bigotry or islamophobia (especially seeing as it is a
line of argument against Islam, not Muslims). It is an objective assessment of
Islam's past, present, and certain future if it is not challenged from without
and radically changed from within.
The longer we abide Crusades guilt-stricken academics and America-hating überleftists
apologizing for Islam in its current (ancient) unreformed state, the more it
will threaten our hard-earned and fought for way of life. More infidels will die
for being "the basest creatures in the sight of God," and more Muslims
will suffer and die for not being the right kind of Muslim. Now is the time for
those of us who can be truthful and compassionate to confront Islamosupremacy,
to repel the ideological jihad which has vitiated our media, our universities,
and even our governments. It will not go away if it is ignored or placated. 20+
current jihad fronts in the world today, not to mention the Arab and Ottoman
subjects of old Europe, northern Africa, and south Asia attest to that.
