Accellerating the Culture Clash

Today is Everyone Draw Mohammed Day. The idea behind this heresy-in-your-face is explained quite well by Zombie. And a cartoon archive is located here.

After some initial hesitation I support this idea and effort. There seems little choice, given the totalitarian death squad approach of the Muslim murderers and arsonists. As Zombie explains, there are next steps and steps after that; the Muslim capacity for being offended is total. Their response is self-righteous violence and death.

This approach offers two things. First, it spreads the risk. Second, it allows the Muslim to know that the 21st century western world will not grovel in fear.

Another thing. As Zombie points out, it will likely bring on the conflict sooner, an advantage over waiting until the 6th century barbarians acquire nuclear capability. It truly does appear that the conflict is both inevitable and that it will be catastrophic. It doesn't have to be that way except for two things: the words of Mohammed, and the uncritical minds of Muslim totalitarians.

In his book, "The Closing of the Muslim Mind: How Intellectual Suicide Created The Modern Islamist Crisis", Robert R. Reilly documents the internal Islamic war between reason and revelation, and how revelation won, stamping out reason in the Islamic world.

Reilly:

"Neither communism nor fascism has worked for the Arabs - because they have not worked for anyone - but the Islamists have ingested their totalitarian programs and mixed them with their Ash'arite interpretations of Islam. That is why one can compare the features of these ideologies and even some of the language they use almost exactly. As Maulana Maududi wrote,

'In reality Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals. 'Muslim' is the title of that International Revolutionary Party organized by Islam to carry into effect its revolutionary programme. And 'Jihad' refers to that revolutionary struggle and utmost exertion which the Islamic Party brings into play to achieve this objective.'

With changing the only two words, 'Islam' and 'Muslim', to either 'Nazism' or 'communism', and then rereading the sentence above, one will immediately see the nearly complete ideological affinity between them, as no other word changes are necessary to Nazi or communist revolutionary points of view." [note 1]

It is also possible to see the reason for the affinity of western Leftists and their One World Government for the one-worlders in the Middle East. The Left is drawn to any and all totalitarians from Castro and Chavez to the Palestinian rocket launchers.

While Reilly confers some of the blame for Islamic totalitarianism on the western varieties that fed into Islam in the 20th century, it is also apparent from the Qur'an that Mohammed himself was a violent despot, and that Islam has that built into its most revered foundations. Violence and Islam are handmaidens: they will not be separated. So if the western nations and culture are to survive the exponential Islamic threat, ultimately Islam will have to be defeated, thoroughly. Perhaps not exactly now, but the time is coming. And it won't be pretty.

It's not that they won't leave us alone so that we could just ignore them. They cannot.
