Islam is still not at all well understood by the vast majority of people in The West.
Most, including our politicians and even Churchmen, see it as just another religion, one that is closely aligned with Judaism and Christianity, one that is benign, and one that will sit contentedly side by side and equal to existing religions.
They are utterly wrong. Wrong because of their own inability to believe that something so fell could get away with becoming the monster that it has, wrong because they believe the lies and propaganda that is put about regarding the tenets of Islam being in some way a wholesome thing appropriate to our evolved society. And also terribly wrong when, as politicians, they use Islam as a means of gaining power.
“Genetic Code” (an odd forum identitry) asks what could be done to address the growing Islamic communities inj Europe.
One answer is to stop treating Mohammedans as being somehow deserving of consideration because of their beliefs.
We should make it abundantly clear in every possible way that the acceptable position from here on in is for them to fit into OUR world with OUR values or clear out.
NO Minaret’s, NO burqas, NO Mosques that stand out as such and offend our European architecture, and those that do be demolished.
Instead Islam tolerated so long as Mohammedans abide by OUR laws, pay any additional taxes needed to provide better or increased security because of the proven association of terrorism with them because of their religion, and at all times be aware that they are totally subjugated under OUR societies.
Seems unfair? Seems racist in some way?
Why should it.
Let’s keep in mind that for a non-Muslim to be tolerated under Islam that non-Muslim must abide by Shar’ia, must pay additional tax, and must at all times feel subjugated under Islam.
Would it ever happen?
Probably not because ours is a much evolved society, one in which people can make decisions about all aspects of our lives and not live under the cruel and inhuman dictates of a regime invented by a man who today would be locked up and have the key thrown away because of his values and actions. Values and actions that even in his day many people utterly rejected …. until forced to accept them by the sword.
Let’s keep it real though. There are places in the world where Islam still is an appropriate ideology and “religion”.
But these places are where the same barbaric behaviour of people as was taking place where Mohammed invented Islam is endemic.
Places of tribal conflict, places where there is a need to utterly control those who without the control would be committing all sorts of savagery.
Where Christian love would be seen as weakness and Christian morality as a thing to be exploited. Where the rigidity of Judaism would be simply ignored in the absence of cruel and archaic punishment, a thing that Judaism left behind nearly two millennium ago.
Where Hinduism would be simply over run because of the pantheon of Hindu Gods creating a lack of focus, where Buddhism would be simply exploited and where probably the only real confrontation would be with Voodoo.
Such places do exist, such people who need Islam do exist, but not in Europe. If Mohammedans want to live in our world then as long as they live in our world that’s not a thing to fret over so long as they bring something that we want or need. We neither want or need Islam. This is not about freedom of religion, it is about a conflict of ideology and that is a very different thing indeed.
