Why is Islam so isolated in the world ?

This board is full of people trying to come to terms with the way Islam insidiously pushes it's agenda in free society. I have travelled in the US but I live in India and the Muslims have tried their best for 800 years to convert India to a Muslim country. They have clearly not succeeded as Hinduism is alive and kicking, thank you very much. Neither will they succeed in a million years. We have learnt to manage the Muslims with the occasional genocide, but ordinary Americans frankly have no clue of how to handle this menace. Some fundamental principles ....

1. The basic Islamic premise of immigrating to a non -Muslim country is to go there and push the Islamic agenda NOT to go there and assimilate with the new country. THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

2. There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. If a Muslim needs to be moderate , he needs to question several aspects of his religion and arrive at a personal interpretation of Islam. Unfortunately, Islam is a religion of total submission and has no room for any discourse. Even the little discourse which passes for debate is between the mullahs and only tells people how to become a better Muslim, NOT how to better Islam. After all, Islam is a direct hand-me-down from Allah and how dare anyone better it ? There any many good people among Muslims but they all end up fatigued at the thought of asking questions and being ostracised and eventually give up to mainstream Islamic political / cultural views which are all mullah generated.

3. The Islamic world is generally very frustrated with the way their lot has been deprived of economic progress ( if you leave out the oil luck of the Gulf states and maybe Malaysia ) and they are at their wit's end trying to understand why the US, Europe, Japan, the SE Asian countrues and even China and India are doing far better than them and why the people of these countries are actually largely happy in these countries, when such happiness should have been the exclusive outcome of Islam.

4. Muslims grow their populations by unnatural birth rates. To do this they need to keep women at home. If women were to go out, work and achieve spiritual, financial and emotional equality with men, they will produce the number of children they want , not the numbers required to conquer territories. By making women dependent on men , Islam controls the growth of population because women who depend on men will silently suffer and do what their men tell them to do.

To make sure more Muslims are born than others, Muslim women should also not marry out of faith. In a free society , it is natural that men and women of various faiths will meet and marry. Each Muslim woman "lost" in this manner will reduce Muslim population. To ensure that men of other faiths do not find Muslim women attractive, Islam introduced the hijab / burqa. Now that they are shrink wrapped in black, rest assured that no non-Muslim man will ever be compelled to ask a Muslim woman on a date.

5. Islam will use every rule in the democracy book to ensure that it's own agenda is pushed. In India the state has a silly rule where the annual pilgrimage of Muslims to Mecca is subsidized by the government under the guise of minority rights. Islam itself, despite the strident protests of all Islamic bodies to the contrary, cannot align with even a single premise on which democracy and free society is built. A religion of total submission cannot be at peace with a society which thrives on the freeing of the individual spirit.

6. There is no culture of protest in Islam. In every major religion, whether it is Christianity, Hinduism, or Buddhism, there is a constant debate on improvement from within. Every religion has it's bigots. All religions which have enabled people to prosper have improved themselves ofver centuries. Backward practices have been cast away, new thinking has emerged and they have kept up with modernity. No Muslim can raise his/her voice in Islam if they think something is bad and even if he/she does so, it will be shot down by the mullah club. As a result Islam is pretty much where it was 1000 years back .

I will post more basic principles and practical ways to fight Islam in coming posts.
