No death cult has ever won in the long run

And therein lies the secret to Christianity's and Judaism's long-term success, and modern Islam's impending colapse. Christianity and Judaism celebrate the sanctity of LIFE, whereas Modern Islam has become a DEATH CULT. I place emphasis here on Modern Islam, because this suicidal martyrdom complex is an entirely modern creation. Muslim armies of the past were brutal warriors, but they were never suicidal. The suicide martyr is a late-20th century creation. It has no historical or Koranic basis.

What the fools don't realize (because they don't know their history) is that, if the concept continues too much longer, Islam will cease to exist. The best future Islam can hope for in the face of the martyrdom movement is to become a minor cult. You see, the biggest probllem for death cults (like virginity cults) is that they must depend on converts since they have limited ability to reproduce themselves. Despite Japan's best efforts, its suicide pilots (the Kamakazis) did not slow the U.S. military. Japan's existing populace could not support the demand for suicidal maniacs. It would have needed converts in order to continue the Kamakazi onslaught. Since no converts were forthcoming, Japan failed.

The same will happen to Islamofacism. Yes, there are many people converting to Islam on a worldwide basis. As many, and maybe more, are converting from Islam. When you take a close look at the ratio of native-born Muslims to converts in the ranks of the suicide bomers, you find that converts are few and far between, especially in the U.S. and Europe. All of the 9/11, Madrid, and London bombers were native-born. The fact is that most people who are converting to Islam are doing so based on its original message of peace and service to your fellow human being, not the desire to die for a "cause".

That means that the breed of Islam needed to create suicide bombers must grow from the birth of new Muslims. Now Islam is doing this. However, we have to take a look at the legacy of the average suicide bomber: He has none. He died in his prime without leaving any children behind. He WAS the breed stock, and he never bred. The suicide martyr cult is both a death cult and a kind of twisted virginity cult. It is not creating the next generation of itself.

No, the next generation of Muslims is being fathered by men who are too busy working to get involved in the suicide martyr cult. They may run their mouths supporting the nut cases, but they aren't out there volunteering. They also aren't volunteering their kids. These kids are too busy working at a young age to get involved with the death cult either.

In fact, most of the suicide bomber class comes from the financially well-off sectors of Muslim society. When you look at how many Muslims live in poverty, you quickly realize what a small sector of society the nut cases are actually coming from (The Palestinians seem to be the only exception to this rule: it holds pretty firm throughout the rest of the Muslim world.). The majority of Muslims will talk the talk, but they will not walk the walk.

This is very much like the Japanese culture of WWII. Most of the pilots, hence most Kamakazis, came from the Samurai class. They had been brainwashed by their extremist interpretation of their Shinto religion to believe in the gloriousness of dying for the Emperor. The average Japanese, however much he loved and supported the Emperor, was not willing to commit suicide for him, no matter what their Shinto religion taught them.

That last statement is a perfect description of the majority of Muslims, especially converts. With their limited supply of their own breed stock, and precious few willing converts, the Modern Islamofacist suicide cult, like the Japanese Kamakazi cult before it, will be a self-extinguishing flame. It will do a lot of damage while it burns, but it will eventually burn it self out. The life-affirming religions, like Christianity and Judaism, will remain and will dominate. The Islam that is left, if it remains at all, will be dramatically different than the violent death cult we see today.
