Islam Under Scrutiny by Ex-Muslims

The Spectre of Islam

People are not rational; so we should stop treating them as such.

A rational woman would reject the palpable pulse of disgust of non-Muslims which runs through the Qur’an, the hadith and other Islamic texts. And a rational man would confront a religion which speaks of, and glorifies, intolerance; a faith which stalks with hatred anything non-conformant with its own brutal and uncompromising beliefs.

Again and again, we have proven the logic, furnished the evidence and won the argument that Islam is a divisive, supremacist and immoral religion. But to what avail? The arguments fall flat, the media label us ‘racists’ or ‘Islamaphobes’ and our governments go on appeasing, funding and promoting the Islamization of their our own states.

Without shame, the European Parliament tells us:

“…Arab identity is by no means incompatible with the notion of modernity or with the initiation of serious reforms … [which] can be overcome through a renewed partnership based on understanding, mutual confidence, respect for social and cultural practices and credibility.”[1]


And what is the proposed solution?

“…the westernization of Arab societies is not the most appropriate route to this end and that the notions of democracy, human rights and the rule of law are fundamental and universal values which innumerable Muslim authorities and governments have declared to be compatible with Islam.”[2]

According to the European Parliament, there is no such thing as “Westernization” and no such thing as “Islamization” – there are simply universal rights, such as freedom, equality and self-determination which we can all subscribe to.

Unfortunately, for us, the problem our leaders have overlooked is fundamental. Islam cannot, and will not, subscribe to secular Western rights or values; although they will certainly subscribe to the funding for apparently doing so.

The core problem is that Islamic culture and Western culture are wholly irreconcilable; contradictory in fact. The Islamic mental, cultural and political mindset is totally incomprehensible and alien to a Westerner.

It is possible for the West to offer freedom, equality, democracy and tolerance to Buddhists, Hindus or Taoists – for such people will respect these tenets and abide by them. But we cannot extend such freedom, equality, tolerance and democracy to Islam, for the very existence of Islam is an utter rejection of them.

The few Muslims who engage in armed-jihad are not the problem; they can be dealt with by military and legal means. The problem, the thing that threatens our very survival, is “moderate” Islam. For every Muslim, moderate or not, must engage in jihad (or struggle) which is a struggle by Muslims against us.

A “jihad of the heart” is a heart set against us, a “jihad of the tongue” is war of words aimed at weakening resistance to Islam and “jihad of the arm” is an action advantageous to Islam but to the detriment of all others.

Everything a Muslim does is done to promote Islam. Everything they see and touch which is not Islamic, or accepted by Islam, becomes a target for “jihad”. So no matter how many concessions we make, Westerners can never concede enough. Yet Muslims are moving us, step by step, towards conceding the unthinkable: that there is only one God and his name is Allah and that politics, religion, education and every other form of human life must bow down to Islam.

There can be no shared ground with Islam. Muslims, by their very nature, are committed to transforming every area they live and work in into an Islam-dominated world. And freedom for Islam is doom for anything and anyone else.

Saying “I will live in peace, equality and tolerance with Islam” is the height of egoistical self-deception. This is the medical equivalent to saying you will live in equality and harmony with a body-wasting disease. It is not a question of attitude; it is a practical matter of fact: You will either remove the infection or it will spread and “remove” you.

Anyone with a mind knows that “jihad” means the Islamization of everyday life. And any Muslim who accepts secularism, freedom, equality or any of our other cherished “Western” values can no longer be considered a Muslim in anything but name - for the Qur’an forbids it. The dominance and authority of the Qur’an is why Muslim communities, no matter where they are, have never integrated. They are either dominant, growing dominant or absent.

But from now on, I will refuse to point out the parts of the Qur’an and Hadith which reject reform, secularization and everything else Westerners stand for. No, since politicians, media and everyday folk have rejected rational argument consistently, from now on I will argue irrationally and emotionally.

European Union policy-makers deny the existence of “Westernization” and “Islamization”. That is laughable! I am not a westerner because I was born in Europe; I am a westerner because I believe in freedom, equality, toleration of other beliefs and religious freedom. And only mindless socialists still believe Muslim cultures are willing, let alone capable, of accepting western values.


But what is “Islamization”?

  • Building a mosque in a European city is Islamization…
  • Changing school meals to halal is Islamization…
  • A teacher telling my child that Allah and God are the same thing is Islamization…
  • Destroying traditional European culture because it may offend the people who would like to destroy it is Islamization…
  • Allowing irresponsibly fecund families into Europe to breed, take our jobs and bleed our welfare system dry is Islamization…

These things are all “Islamization” because they not only fail to produce freedom, equality and toleration of others – they specifically reject it. Halal food in your child’s school is the religious sanctification of Islam at the heart of education – a perverse religious defilement to those of other religions, and a challenge to their faith. Such things are not spiritually neutral; they designed to promote one faith and undermine all others.

“Islamization” is the mass immigration of people who hold “Western” values in contempt. “Islamization” is the invitation of people who detest our freedoms, religions, equalities and ways of life into our neighbourhoods, cities and schools. And “Islamization” is the reprehensible enforcement of multiculturalism even though the result is inevitable social tension, alienation and hatred. Western and Islamic culture are bipolar opposites which never have – and never will – share common values.

Whether the European Union believes it or not, Islam means “jihad”. And “jihad” means using every possible opportunity to take the culture you live in - and replace it with Islam. The difference between “Westernization” and “Islamization” is momentous. It is a fissure which never can, and never should, be spanned; and if it was, the only thing left standing would be the spectre of Islam.
