What Islam Isn't
By Dr. Peter Hammond
FrontPageMagazine.com
The following is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat:
Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.
Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called 'religious rights.'
When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to 'the reasonable' Muslim demands for their 'religious rights,' they also get the other components under the table. Here's how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States -- Muslim 1.0%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1%-2%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chai ns to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).
France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris --car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning: Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel." Leon Uris, 'The Haj'
It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

Excellent article. Islam is, indeed, a system for total control over a state. It is a totalitarianism, just like Nazism and Stalinism.
As such, it is pushed back only by military defeat. We know that in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Also that year in Spain, the reconquista was completed and all mohammedans were expelled from the Iberian peninsula. Interesting coincidence, no? The patron saint of Spain is Saint James, who is also known as Santiago (Saint James) Matamoros. That last word means "moor slayer". + + + |

Whilst there is truth in some of this it is important not to overstate the case. I lived in Pakistan for many years and it is just not true to describe the situation there as "State run ethnic cleansing and genocide". Significant persecution of minorities, yes, including Muslim minorities, but genocide, no. I have memories of attending Christmas services with heavy security provided by the state during times of civil unrest. Trouble to Christians comes from a variety of unruly elements but the State really does its best to provide protection, given that it is weak as are all institutions in Pakistan.

I, too, have lived and worked in some heavily Muslim areas (India, Bangladesh, UAE). They are all different but the truth is that the higher the concentration of poor and very theocratically controlled Muslims, the closer one moves toward Islamisation and Sharia. It may not be on the surface but it isn't far below (Thailand, for example).
The more weak willed the host country, the more aggressive the movement becomes (France, UK). There is nothing good about Islam - for all the reasons noted and more. |

Daveball, yes, vigilance is needed, but "nothing good about Islam" again is overstating the case. There is plenty good about it when compared with the extreme secular way of living we "enjoy" in western societies. We must be careful not to demonise Muslims as being somehow more especially beyond redemption than other groups of unbelievers.

Neill,
I understand your position but good and evil are not relative, are they? Our current secular humanism is not good, granted. It is denial of God. I do not understand the position that there is "good" in Islam because secular humanism is bad, however. I don't put Muslims in the position as being "more especially beyond redemption". I simply state that Islam, and all that it entails, is evil and dangerous. |

Islam is simply one more prong on Satan's pitchfork. He will use Communism read "Militant Atheism", or Nazism, or unrestrained Capitalism, or as we see now, Islam. As the article aptly points out it is much more than a religion, it is a complete system for control of people and countries under the guise of religion.
The sad fact is that at one time the Church, the Christian Religion, possessed a competing self-understanding that resembled this it was called Civitate Dei, Christendom. We have lost this vision. Thank you Luther for that, thank you Modernists for that. Now we can kick back with Teilhard de Chardin dreaming of Tashlanism whilst the Saracens loot, burn and rape outside our doors.... St. Pius the Tenth, pray for us! ![]() http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03699b.htm |

Yes, the devil uses all these false systems, and be especially vigilant for his insidious activity in our church structures, and within ourselves too.
I just want to caution against dismissing Islam and Muslims in a few choice words which can lead to fear and hate of individuals. We still have to love them. After many years thought I have come to the conclusion that God has allowed the challenge of Islam to correct us in the following areas: (a) The nature of God. We are very trinitarian but have forgotten that this revelation came after centuries of teaching about the one true God. In this connection I believe that the Orthodox are right about the filoque and that defending this innovation in the Nicene Creed has distorted the teaching of the Western Church on the nature of the godhead. In practice we do seem to worship three gods, although we haven't much of a clue about the Holy Spirit who is dragged in to justify any crackpot idea that comes into our heads. This is heavy theolgy but it has practical outworkings and we should all revisit this theme. Would we have a crisis over WO if we had a more developed doctrine of the Father as the source of godhead? (b) A critique of capitalism. For centuries the church followed biblical prohibitions against usury. Now we don't. Why? Are there not other ways of organising economic society without putting all the burden of risk-taking on borrowers? Islam is developing such structures in accordance with its prohibition on interest and we are just dismissing them out of hand. They should be examined carefully for what they teach us about how entrepreneurial risk can be more fairy shared between lender and borrower. Christian economists get busy! (c) Separation of church and state. We seem to have gone overboard on this to the extent that religion has been reduced to private space (more so in Europe than the USA). The Islamic ideal that God makes demands in all areas of our life needs to be more in evidence amongst Christians. These things challenge us, and to that extent it could be said that there is some good in Islam! But do not misunderstand me, there is only one Door, and his name is Jesus. |

Dr Hammond's article is right on the money. After 30 years in the counter-terrorism business, I have to say that political correctness will likely be the death of us all. While we're all descended from Abraham, radical Islam is a child of Satan. A good exposition can be found at:

I came across this quote, which seems appropriate here :
What is hateful to you, do not to your fellowman. That is the entire law; all the rest is commentary. - The Talmud |

Boomercat,
I couldn't agree more. Political correctness is the language that Satan has provided liberals to delude the non-discerning. It is the coin of the "feel good", "me now" cult of victimology. |
