When we state in
Identity that moderate Muslims in Britain do not support acts of terrorism either carried out or being plotted by extremist holders of their faith, then this is not word play to avoid prosecution . Islam has always been subject to an inner conflict between the ‘moderates’ and the extremists, but today it appears that the extremists, particularly those supporting Wahhabism, dominant in Saudi Arabia and the primary religious movement behind extremist Islam, have the upper hand.
It was not always like this. Whilst we would not go along with the picture painted by the BBC of a bucolic, tolerant medieval Spain under the rule of Islam, Christians were given some freedom under a late eight century caliph, himself a former Greek from Damascus who had been converted – presumably by the sword. Although this was soon to change under most future Muslim rulers. Then again we should not overlook that the Mughal ruler of India in the 16th century, Akbar the Great, distinguished himself from the slaughter and rapine inflicted upon the Hindu population by most of the other Muslim invaders by allowing all religions to practice freely, and he would enter into discussions with their representatives. Mark you, he was no pussy cat in dealing with anybody who stepped out of line.
In thinking of how we best express the nature of the threat that Islam poses to the West, and the undeniable fact that its Koran clearly states that it tolerates no other religion, I was impressed with a passage quoted on the BNP website by Karl Baxter (who was commenting upon my views on the London mayoral election). They were excerpts from
Islam Watch - "Islam will lose, so will the west" by Mumin Salih in an article by an Arab.
“Islam is currently passing through one of its most dynamic times since its rise fourteen hundred years ago. This dynamic period started long before 9/11 as a fierce struggle, mainly against the west, but also against any nation or group that dares to stand in its way. Most Muslims take this resurgence phase very seriously and consider it as a decisive battle between Islam and the Non-Islam, or the kufr, which Mohammed told them they would win. Even though the west, currently, is largely in denial about this makes no difference to the significance to the whole world…
“…It did not take more than one generation for the western nations, which emerged victorious after WWII, to lose their momentum and give up any hope of staying in the lead. I write this part of the article with Britain in mind because it seem to be leading the way.
“The decline of the west is mainly an endogenous problem that neither Islam nor any other external factors can be blamed for. But it is a disturbing observation that the west appears to be doomed with or without Islam, although Islam is taking advantage of the process and is working hard to speed it up. The Islamic predators look at the west as a helpless prey and are closing in waiting for the right moment to make a kill. They are hopeful to inherit the west without even having to fight for it, and they do not make a secret of it. A few years ago, colonel Ghaddafi said that Muslims couldn’t take Europe by force in the past, but now they will take it without force….
“…During the last war, the western nations performance was at its peak. People took no chances; they went through some rough times, suffered hardship, lost lives to secure a good future for their children and grand children. Those children and grand children are today’s westerners who have reaped the fruits of their grandfathers’ hard work. Today’s westerners enjoy a freedom and democracy that they never earned and seem to be reluctant to defend..
“…Instead, the west has opted to taking painkillers in the form of politically correct justifications prescribed to them… I am afraid that is a recipe for disaster.
“The western societies seem to have an inherent serious problem that makes the westerners turn against their own history, heritage, culture and all their past achievements. They happily declare their cultural surrender as they see everything coming from the outside as genuine and honest, and look down at their own as false and corrupt. They are so consumed with post imperial guilt that they are blinded to their countries’ virtues.”
