For Victory, Learn From The Muslims

Submitted by Dave, Feb 3, 2018 at 08:30

Muslims have been amazingly successful for much of their history. Here are some useful tips gleaned from them:
- To inspire people, have a well-defined, comprehensive view of the world, and even the afterlife if possible. Make sure it promises influence and privilege. Make your followers feel entitled.
- Make it clear that your path is the only acceptable route to success. Accept no substitutes.
- Never apologize because you are always right.
- If your opponents resist your attacks, play the victim.
- Study your opponents carefully, and play to their weaknesses (ex. if they are liberals, cry racism)
- Show zero respect for your opponents' religious traditions or lives.
- Never say anything nice about your opponents. Just denigrate them mercilessly.
- Have zero tolerance for criticism or leaving the cause.
- Welcome new adherents with open arms and flowers.
I hope you find some of these tips useful.
