Muslims and the West can never live in peace - Islam is ideological of war, terrorism and conquest. The only solution is close all Mosques and deport Muslims back to the Middle East.Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-42884817560596221892017-05-24T14:51:09.884-04:002017-05-24T14:51:09.884-04:00Tocqueville-
"Mohammed drew down from heaven ...Tocqueville-<br />"Mohammed drew down from heaven into the writings of the Koran not only religious teaching but political thoughts, civil and criminal laws and scientific theories. The Gospel, in contrast, refers only to general links of man to God and man to man. Beyond that, it teaches nothing and imposes no belief in anything."<br />Prior to visiting Algeria, Tocqueville supplemented his initial reflections on the Koran with further meditations on both this defining Muslim text and Islam:<br />"Muhammadanism is the religion that most thoroughly conflated and intermixed the powers in such a way that the high priest is necessarily the prince, and the prince the high priest, and all acts of civil and political life are more or less governed by religious law. This concentration and this conflation of power established by Muhammad between the two powers was the primary cause of despotism and particularly of social immobility that has almost always characterized Muslim nations."<br />And following his first sojourn in Algeria, Tocqueville compared Islam’s lasting impact with that of Christianity (and the latter’s possible disappearance), in an October 1843 letter to Arthur de Gobineau:<br />"If Christianity should in fact disappear, as so many hasten to predict, it would befall us, as already happened to the ancients before its advent, a long moral decrepitude, a poisoned old age, that will end up bringing I know not where nor how a new renovation. I closely studied the Koran especially because of our position with regard to the Muslim populations in Algeria and throughout the Orient. I admit that I came out of that study with the conviction that, all things considered, there had been few religions in the world so dreadful for men as that of Muhammad. It is, I believe, the major cause of the decadence today so visible in the Muslim world and though it is less absurd than ancient polytheism, it’s social and political tendencies, in my opinion much more to be feared. I see it relative to paganism itself as a decadence rather than an advance." <br /><br />Chesterton-<br />t was exactly because it seemed self‑evident, to Moslems as to Bolshevists, that their simple creed was suited to everybody, that they wished in that particular sweeping fashion to impose it on everybody. It was because Islam was broad that Moslems were narrow. And because it was not a hard religion it was a heavy rule. Because it was without a self‑correcting complexity, it allowed of those simple and masculine but mostly rather dangerous appetites that show themselves in a chieftain or a lord. As it had the simplest sort of religion, monotheism, so it had the simplest sort of government, monarchy. There was exactly the same direct spirit in its despotism as in its deism. The Code, the Common Law, the give and take of charters and chivalric vows, did not grow in that golden desert. The great sun was in the sky and the great Saladin was in his tent, and he must be obeyed unless he were assassinated. Those who complain of our creeds as elaborate often forget that the elaborate Western creeds have produced the elaborate Western constitutions; and that they are elaborate because they are emancipated. james wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423091782308888563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-54906449696540760682017-05-24T12:34:02.535-04:002017-05-24T12:34:02.535-04:00Yes to your very hash prescription. 9/11 was the d...Yes to your very hash prescription. 9/11 was the dark epiphany. It was the moment of awakening for a great many of us. I am not the person I was on Sept. 10. Part of me would go on at length, but you and Vanderleun have said what needs saying. Closing- Are you familiar with the work of Joel Richardson? His book "Will islam be Our Future?" is a fascinating compare and contrast study of Christian and islamic eschatology. It will show you exactly what we are up against.<br /><br />http://www.answering-islam.org/Authors/JR/Future/index.htm<br /><br />JWMJWMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564732483476859555noreply@blogger.com
