Islam is a political philosophy not a secular one

Sayed,

Islam is first and foremost above its religious undertones mostly lifted straight from the Torah and Christian bibles a political philosophy. It makes peace when it is weak and war when it is strong. The tolerance it affords other when it is weak should not be mistaken for secularism. At the present moment it is strong.

Occasionally it afforded people their beliefs when its imperial objectives seemed secure enough to not have to oppress its dhimmis into non existence - but once again we are in an era of history where despite being technologically, scientifically and philosophically impoverished the Islamic chimera is ideologically and numerically superior as well as uncharacteristically insecure.

Iran, the almost ideal Islamic state, has a president who embraces and promotes apocalyptic now or never views of Islamic ascendency. Examining the retiring rhetoric of even those who stand as the last column of resistence to Islam such as the US President, the UK's PM, Australia's PM and Israel and the increasingly aggressive rhetoric of Islamic apostates such as the Bali bombing mastermind Abu Bakar Bashir one can easily see the faltering confidence of the one and the expanding horizons of the other.

Whilst I would agree that a new paradigm post post post Christianity or post post modernist might be a hip way to proceed and desirable above returning Europe to its traditions and the old back forth process of Islamic Jihad and Christian Crusade the adoption of an alternative is very unlikely. How do you convince muslims whose rigid traditions, lack of respect for non-muslim cultures, paramilitarism and religiously centered demographic explosion have taken them this close to world domination that they should change their course? The very attempt at convincing the Muslim world of anything would indicate weakness to them and only encourage them to pursue the rigid course that they have established for themselves. The mission here is and always ways to conquer and supplant Judeo-Christian civilisation and never have they been closer to achieving this result. Europe has been handed to them at a much cheaper price than India was handed to Britain.

Contrary to your assertions off the record non-culturally sensitive accounts of a radically transformed Europe even at this early stage of neomoorish invasion indicate that indigenous Europeans are being treated extremely poorly by the occupiers that have marched into their lands under the crescent of Hubal. If Muslims dare act so aggressively when they constitute a minority in European countries what will the continent be like in ten or twenty years? I see violence in the streets, burning cathedrals and the beginning of the annihilation of the last vestiges of a great and just civilisation - just as the Bhudda's of Afghanistan were demolished by the Taliban. And like north africa for the rest of human history Islam will take the cradle of Judeo -Christian civilisation into a never ending dark age.

The only thing that might save Europe is if the true war with this attempt to tyrannise the human consciousness that is Islam occurs sooner rather than later when there are enough westerners still around to fight it. Historically despite the politically correct nonsense Islam's only contribution to Europe has been as an antagonist and it remains so right up to this era. Either we succumb and die or fight and survive. I choose fight.

Cordially,

Reuben Horne.
