The myth of "moderate muslims" and "moderate islam".
Reader comment on item: Not Calling Islamism the Enemy

Submitted by The Final Crusade (Israel), Dec 14, 2008 at 21:30

As most of us know by now (esp. after 9/11), the commandments of Islam are to be followed by the ummah as recited by the dark ages politician Muhammad. The words of this fictional god, i.e. Allah are unquestionable and unrefutable. Accordingly or either one's a believer or a kuffar. No middle terms in Islam. Therefore an authentic muslim just by living an unbiased quranic life naturally becomes a rapist, a wife-beater, a judeo-christian hater or a murderer in the worst scenario. He's ordered to do so to advance the islamic agenda. Just like the greatest muslim of all times and prime example for the islamic world, Muhammad the politician did. In the not so pessimistic scenario muslims, if following the islamic texts (assuming they can read the original arabic), becomes a liar, a thief, a fifth columnist saboteur or many other types of islamic specialists. Islam never evolved as opposed to its judeo-christian paralel.

Muslims in Western Europe currently number between 5 to 10% of the population. And the result of this neo-quranic imperialism we're witnessing in everyday's media islamic niceties. From riots to gang-rape mayhem, from rewritting of our history to the implosion of our institutions. Stealthly or muffled the three stages of jihad unfold in the West. Right now we can assume that we're still in the first stage (the internal jihad or lesser jihad). The not so long ago meagre minoritiy of "moderate muslims" in places like Nigeria or southern Phillipines for example can gives a clue as to how Europe will be like in 10 to 15 years time. Especially regarding as where the "peaceful muslims" loyalty lies when muslims gain satisfatory numbers. Let alone the military upper-hand.

Our elites inculcate us with worn out slogans. Islam the religion of peace, radicals hijacked Islam, Islam is compatible with Democracy, women are honored under Islam, and Islam this, and muslims that. In this new world order the majorities are to comply to the demands of minorities. It's our fault if muslims don't assimilate. In the same vein, we're advised to be ashamed for not having yet internalized basic multicuturalist doctrines regarding the mohammedan populace. For example: the majority of muslims are moderates. Even though throughout the years not once the "smashing majority" of muslims took to the streets of London, Amsterdam or Paris to protest stoning of raped women, homossexual killings, or simply to condemn suicide bombings commited by this supposedly "microscopic minority".

But then again, if we fail to digest the leftist propaganda we're insensitive. In any case we can simply foget about this alarmism and just let the time go by and enjoy the stages of jihad take place. Maybe in a generation or two our dear muslims will kindly show us what the meaning of a moderate muslim really is. Not in words (1st stage Jihad) but with action. Muslims' favourite type of jihad, the one halted at the gates of Vienna.
