The Islamization of America Contributed by Zero Ponsdorf
A longish history lesson, but well worth the time.
Many times
the Ottoman Empire tried to take over the whole of Europe but failed to
do so. The Ottoman Empire could not conquer the West by sword, but now
Muslims are using a different strategy to conquer the West to bring it
under the Islamic realm. Today the West is being the victim of their
own values, such as freedom of speech and _expression, so that Muslims
are using ‘Democracy’ as a tool and taking advantage of democracy to
disseminate Islam to all the corners of the world.
...
One of the
hallmarks of the West is freedom of speech and freedom of _expression,
permitting critiques of claims about religion truths, but Islamic law
does not allow such debate or criticism. The question many scholars as
well as political leaders ask is whether Islam is compatible with
democracy or whether Islam can be modernized? Specifically, can Islam
tolerate freedom of _expression in America? Under the United States
Constitution the State and Church are separated at least by the
principle, whereas Islam does not make this distinction. For example,
Italian journalist Fallaci in her book The Rage and the Pride, written
after 9/11, criticizes Islam and its totalitarian forces in demolishing
Western culture and civilization. She also criticizes the West for
turning a blind eye to the threat of Islam. Ms. Fallaci argues that
‘Europe is no longer Europe. It is Eurabia,’ a colony of Islam where
the Muslims have invaded not only in a mental or cultural sense, but in
a physical sense as well. She cogently presents the case that Muslims
have poisoned the meaning of democracy. Today, in Europe, there are
more Muslims than Christians, and mosques are filled with devotees
whereas the churches are filled with tourists. A clear denial of
Judeo-Christian roots has become routine propaganda in schools and in
media in Europe and now in America.
The piece is long and a bit rambling at times, but it serves up a view that we'd be foolish to ignore.
