Islamization is a one-way street

Funeral of murdered Christians in Nigeria

Islamization is a one-way street. No place in the world has ever become less Islamic, only the opposite, more and more Islamic. And it is not happening organically. It is planned. That’s a core principle in Islamic ideology. To many [Muslim] believers, Islam is a total solution. Religious, political, social and economic. Islam divides the world into Dar al-Islam lands (where Islam rules) and Dar al-Harb (lands of war).

Is that good? Is that bad?

Let me give you some data and you decide. Of the 10 countries where Christians face the most persecution, nine are Muslim majority or see persecution carried out by Muslim groups. In the vast majority of Muslim-majority countries, there is no real democracy, no political or religious freedom, and little freedom of speech or protest. That’s why you rarely hear about persecuted minorities in Muslim countries. They are afraid to speak up. The sad irony is that the worst places get no attention, while free societies get all of it.

The numbers speak for themselves. In Iraq and Syria, there were once large ancient Christian communities, now nearly gone. In Turkey, a century ago, Christians made up about 20 percent of the population. Today, almost none remain.

There used to be large Hindu communities in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Many of them have been wiped out and I haven’t even mentioned the Jews.

Hundreds of thousands of Jews lived in Arab states until the Jewish Nakba [the defeat of the Arabs in 1948]. Once a region becomes majority-Muslim, no minorities can truly flourish. There are Muslim-majority countries where bringing in the New Testament is illegal. And if someone in a Muslim country simply tries to talk to a Muslim about another religion, they might risk their lives.

Israel is the only place in the Middle East where minorities, Jews and Christians, not only survive but thrive, and that drives jihadists [Muslim militants] crazy.

Now let’s look at Western Europe, where Muslim communities are growing. Putting political correctness aside, let’s talk facts. Has violence gone up or down? Are European women safer or less safe? The data is very clear. If you disagree, show me a survey that says that Sweden became more secure for women because of Muslim immigration, or that personal security in Amsterdam, London, or Paris rose as Muslim communities grew.

Multiculturalism sounds great the first moment you hear about it, but simply, it’s not working. Deep inside, you know it. You know you want to live with people who share your core values.

In Africa, Islamization happens by force. Islamist jihadist groups have killed tens of thousands of Christians, burned churches, and forced conversions in Nigeria, Chad, Sudan and Ethiopia. You hardly ever hear about it in the news media and American students don’t protest because it doesn’t fit the twisted racist narrative of the Left. So it gets ignored and Christians in Africa pay the price.

And there is another sort of jihad, soft jihad. Imagine if someone found a document by a Jewish religious movement that laid out how Jews would take over the world with a step-by-step plan. It would be explosive. But when a document emerges showing how the Muslim Brotherhood plan to Islamize the West, [there is] silence even as their strategy unfolds.

In 2004, an unexpected arrest in Virginia uncovered one of the most revealing documents you’ve probably never heard of. Ismail Elbarasse, a fundraiser in the US for Hamas [part of the Muslim Brotherhood], was stopped. Investigators found documents [in his home] tied to the Muslim Brotherhood’s North America operations. One memo stood out.

It described a chilling strategy to destroy Western civilization from within. Not with bombs, but through culture. What is striking is how deeply the Muslim Brotherhood understands how America and the West operate. This is from the document:

“The process of settlement is a civilization jihadist process in every sense of the word. The Muslim brothers must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad, eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the [Muslim] believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for jihad yet. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes. And there is no escape from the destiny except for those who chose to slack.”

They know they cannot win from the outside. If they declared war and said, “We are forcing Islam on you,” it wouldn’t work. What works in Africa won’t work in the US. The US is strong militarily, but Western democracies can be eroded from within.

And the seeds planted by the Muslim Brotherhood are bearing fruit now: Islamic centers, charities, cultural programs, teachers’ training, mosques and university influence. It is no coincidence that anti-Israeli protests began on campuses. Young Americans think they are part of a liberation movement. They don’t see that they are being used. Think for a moment. Why did Qatar pour $5 billion into US universities? Does Qatar really want to help American students? Because the West is open to other cultures, it has been targeted by the Muslim Brotherhood and other jihadist groups.

Just listen to what Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said on May 21, 2017:
“There will come a day that we will see far more radical extremists and terrorists coming out of Europe because of lack of decision-making, trying to be politically correct, or assuming that they know the Middle East, and they know Islam, and they know the others far better than we do. And I’m sorry, but that’s pure ignorance.”

[This] is the dominant naive narrative in the West. The end goal of soft jihad is no different from the jihad we already know. If the West does not change its approach, Western countries could soon look like Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan. Already parts of cities in Western Europe resemble Damascus or Kabul more than they do European cities.

Is that bad? Well, if you care about Western values, democracy, freedom of speech, yes, this is very bad news. The first step: Expose this, talk about it and demand action. And something you can do, support Israel. As you have seen in the last two years, Israel stands on the front line of this struggle against jihadists.
