The danger of Islam: Sharia advancing in Europe.

Category:



Blocked from fear and multiculturalism, too many westerns are passively observing the advancing of the Sharia across all of Europe.

Islam splits the world in two parts: one part governed with the sharia, or Islamic laws, which is named Dar al-Islam or House of the Submission. All the rest is named al-Harb, or house of the War, thus named because is needed the war - the holy war, or jihad - in order to carry this last one to the house of the Islam. You can call it, cultural surrendering. The house of war is slowing taking over not only on the European case, but in many other cases worldwide, being systematically absorbed by the house of the Submission, "Islamization".

In these last years, a new model of Jihad has been introduced in order to take over "al-Harb". This new model is utilizing a tool called fatwa. Fatwa is aiming to the fundamental liberty of the Occident: the free speech. The Jihadists, or radical islamists have tried to extend their Sharia models inside the Occidental cultures by undermine the core of their fundamental liberties, with the call of fatwas upon those who have dared to criticize Islam.

In the beginning fatwa (a death sentence upon someone who is considered an infidel or a blasphemer) didn't meant to be used to hunt a man down, but as a response to questions about living everyday life in accordance with religious law. There have been many case in which the calls for a fatwa has been issued,
just to mention a few: the assassination of Theo Van Gogh in 2004, or the global waves of protests, assassinations, and vandalism following the publication of the satiric cartoons on Muhammad in 2005 on a danish newspaper.


In 2007, another waves of international Islamic commotions have been spurred by the Swedish artist Lars Vilks's controversial drawings, in which were depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad as a roundabout dog. For the definition see: wikipedia.org. The effect of those controversial drawings were an excuse from some ambassadors of Muslim countries, to ask for limitations on the freedom of speech in Sweden. Of course, there are others similar controversy, too many to be mentioned in a single post.

Any time that these free thinkers have tried to upset and shake the European's consciences to the dangers of a slow but methodically introduced Islam and its Sharia's laws inside the European's societies, there have been a mounting uphill of international pressure trying to silence and undermine Europe's fundamental rights, the right to think and criticize on which European nations are based. Removing these same rights, these radical Islamists will limit and
penalize Europe self-conscience on what is right and what is wrong, and that's what the Islamic fascists are counting on to conquer the European nations. Not by wars, but by the termination of theirs free and willing identities. Once these individuals together with their basic freedoms will be silenced, then the establishment of the "House of the Submission", or the Dar al-Islam, will be more exponentially. The Jihadests would finally reach their ultimate goals, an Islam with its Sharia's laws that will rule over all Europe and... the world.

My point is, the pressure utilized to silence Westerners free thinkers from those Islamic puritans, has slowly crippled them to the point of self-censorship. For the f
ear of some Muslim retaliation, many websites had refused to publicize images, articles, or movies (recently, LiveLeak.com has removed Geert Wilders' movie "Fitna", from their servers following serious threats to their staff and their families). Some time even editors of public medias have refused to publicize images, or articles criticizing Islam, with the motivation of multicultural respect for Islam.

In truth, this political correctness is slowly eroding the principles on what we all believe. While many of us are afraid of been branded as Islamophobists, at the same time that all this is happening, we are laying down our believes at the mercy of these barbarians knocking at t
he Westerner civilizations' gates. The silencing of these voices are obfuscating our own ideals. The Jihadests are reaching for the completeness of their schemes: Sharia laws been imposed on all the free societies.

That's what we really want? An Islam that
will devour the free world, replacing it with a brutal barbarism of theocracy and Sharia...

*****

These are a few points of why we are in a mortal battle with Islam and its morality's laws.

A nation under the Sharia's laws means:

  • A society where homosexuals must be executed.
  • A society where unmarried fornicators are whipped and adulterers are stoned to death.
  • A society where death for Muslim and possible death for non—Muslim critics of Muhammad and the Quran and even sharia itself.
  • A society where apostates are to be killed.
  • A society where drinkers and gamblers should be whipped.
  • A society where allows husbands to hit their wives even if the husbands merely fear highhandedness in their wives.
  • A society where allows an injured plaintiff to exact legal revenge—physical eye for physical eye.
  • A society which commands that a male and female thief must have a hand cut off.
  • A society which commands that highway robbers should be crucified or mutilated.


Our values, identities, and beliefs are been left behind unguarded at the mercy of these advancing Islam's cohorts, by letting them dictate us the way we are suppose to live and think. We can't surrender to these retrograde minds, we can't sell out ours identities and moralities, in favor of an archaic way of thinkings and discriminations, coming from an abominating Sharia-governed societies.

Maybe now, it's time to say...that's enough!

EUROPE IS BEING TARGETED BY ISLAM

Recent intelligence reports include the following facts:

FRANCE: 1945 there were 100,000 Muslims in France, today it is officially claimed to be 6 million (60 x increase), 10% of population. But Muslims make up 70% of France’s convicted criminals in prison. Of the 1,000 Muslim neighbourhoods in France, 700 are listed as “violent”, 400 “very violent”. There are 1,000 mosques in France.

In France 95% of convicted rapists are Muslims, 85% of convicted murderers are Muslims, and 58% of convicted thieves are Muslims.

HOLLAND: Muslims are officially 15% of population.

BELGIUM: 10% of population. Half of all babies born in Belgium are now Muslims.

GERMANY: 2 million Muslims (Berlin has the 4 th largest Turkish population in the world.)

BRITAIN: 2 million (from 82,000 – 30 years ago - x 25 increase) British counter-terrorism experts estimate that there are up to 25,000 Al-Qaeda supporters in UK. 1,000 Mosques in Britain.

SWEDEN: 400,000 Muslims. Massive increase in anti-Semetic attacks on Jewish population in Sweden.

DENMARK: 200,000 Muslim immigrants are trying to dictate their anti-Israel, Anti-American policies upon the 5 million Danes. Although Muslims are only 4% of the population, they consume over 40% of the social welfare spending. They also make up 75% of the country’s convicted rapists.

ITALY: 1 million Muslims (In Italy Muslims make up 95% of all convicted rapists and 85% of all convicted murderers.)

Note that of 48 countries with a Muslim majority – 46 are dictatorships.

The Saudi Arabian government has financed the building of 1,500 mosques, 210 Islamic centers, 202 colleges and 2,000 madressas (Islamic Quaranic schools) in non-Muslim countries – mostly in Europe.

Security experts estimate that 5% of the 18 million Muslims now living in Europe are radical terrorist supporters and sympathizers, representing at least 75,000 to 90,000 potential terrorists within Europe’s borders.

And while the average European women has 1.5 children the average Muslim woman in Europe has 6 to 8 children.

Clash of civilizations- Muslim and Western societies.

Category:




A
new world order in the becoming.


After the fall of the Berlin wall, the cold war era was practically over. Until that point in history, the world was divided in three major blocks: the Western block as the NATO alliance, with the United States as the superpower leading it, the second block with Est Europe block as the Warsaw Pact, and the Soviet Union as the superpower leading it, and the last block which was composed by the so called "Non-Aligned Movement of Nations". The purpose of this organization was not to consider themselves aligned with or against any of the above superpowers.

Once the cold war was really over, a new world order would have established after it and consequently we all thought, a period of peace would have followed with not major conflicts around the corner.


But, the world without wars or enemies seemed that couldn't be maintained for very long periods of peace and tranquility. Even when, there are not apparent wars looming on top of our lives, it's like humanity can't live without them, we have to look for one even when there are none around. Apparently, Nations need to look for new enemies to maintain a precarious world balance, and some time by even inventing one. After 9/11, looked like some Nations had found their new enemies. At least that's the impression I got after reading some newspaper, or commentaries in some web pages or worst, from some politicians from Europe as well here in the States. Now some of them, are depicting a worrisome world which I didn't like at all. A possible future, where the Western Civilizations are in an hypothetical war against Arab/Muslim civilizations.

Clash of civilizations.


For example, I watched recently in the web videos, where reporters were talking about Arab fighting forces "jihadists" which were preparing themselves for a global Jihad against the Western civilization, and in the same time they were showing up pictures, where some Arabs fighters were training and preparing in hiding camps for a war of annihilation of the West civilizations or, ideologies and the West had no choices but, to fight them aggressively. They were not talking just about terrorists but, they were pointing out the menace was coming from the Arab world as an all.

I didn't agree with those provocative views
of the Arab/Muslim world coming out from those videos. The thing that mostly alarmed me from all the rantings coming out from the above commentaries and videos was, the all Arab/Muslim world are hating us for what we are or, what we represent to them, a threat to their own culture and therefore, we needed to fight them back as a preventive measure.


Terrorists should be fought and defeated as well, the radical and violent faction of Islam but, terrorists or, radical Muslims are a small minority in the Arab world, not the entire Arab societies. Even though, these minorities are trying to push the Arab world in a holy war versus the West, doesn't mean we have to hate and prepare ourselves for a holy war against the entire Arab world. There is a need to eliminate the overlap between terrorism and Islam, this need is essential to start winning the real war against terrorism. Islam has been high jacked by the terrorists (as many Muslims keep telling us), making of it an excuse to fight for an holy war against West civilizations.

Some young Muslim men, which are joining terrorist forces to fight the infidels and a supposed Western hegemony in the world, those same young muslims alone don't represent the all Arab/Muslim world. The all Arab world doesn't hate us, there isn't any cultural clash between us and them but it will be if, we create the ground for it to flourish on.

The time of Crusades is gone, we don't need new ones.


Hysteria which has erupted after 9/11, it's leading us nowhere. We need to look closer for the real reasons of why and when, this crisis of cultures has come to be today. We don't need some scare-monkey tactics from some medias or politicians, about the danger of a raising fundamentalistic Islam. We need to understand the causes of it, and consequently find remedies to stop further unwanted consequences.

Muslim and Western societies.


I have so many Arabs friends and, none of them is preparing to fight us in a war of ideology and religion. They are good working people like us and like us, the peaceful Muslim communities are worried of all these dark forces pushing us and them, toward a point of no return. To be more clear, I will repeater what I'm trying to tell in a different way: "We all, should be concerned about all these nonsenses, stop them right now that we are in time, and not keep proceeding toward uncertain futures of fatal consequences for all of us."

There are, many Arabs of different nationality working and worrying every day in the United States, and most of them are not preparing to wage a war here or, in Europe as well.

Arabs are not all terrorists, they have their own culture and religion, we should respect them as they should respect us. To avoid further misconceptions, we should all meet in the middle to find ways of not killing each other for some ideologies but, to mitigate all the problems arising from this new world we need to dialogue now, if we want to live, work and get along together in peace.


If we look back in time, we will see that diversity of ideologies and multiculturalism can work together if, we really want too. By just checking the past history as I said, we will see indeed, there was a time when the Arabs were in Spain and in part of south Italy. In those ancient times, we could find different communities and religions in those parts of Europe, where people were living and working together harmoniously. So why shouldn't it happen again today?

Muslim Spain and European Culture.



By the beginning of the ninth century, Moorish Spain was the gem of Europe with its capital city, Cordova.


When you think of European culture, one of the first things that may come to your mind is the renaissance. Many of the roots of European culture can be traced back to that glorious time of art, science, commerce and architecture. But did you know that long before the renaissance there was a place of humanistic beauty in Muslim Spain? Not only was it artistic, scientific and commercial, but it also exhibited incredible tolerance, imagination and poetry. Moors, as the Spaniards call the Muslims, populated Spain for nearly 700 years. As you'll see, it was their civilization that enlightened Europe and brought it out of the dark ages to usher in the renaissance. Many of their cultural and intellectual influences still live with us today.
