Islam's Imperial Dreams |
2006-04-04 |
"Whether or not any such structure exists or can be forged, the fact is that the fuel of Islamic imperialism remains as volatile as ever, and is very far from having burned itself out. To deny its force is the height of folly, and to imagine that it can be appeased or deflected is to play into its hands. Only when it is defeated, and when the faith of Islam is no longer a tool of Islamic political ambition, will the inhabitants of Muslim lands, and the rest of the world, be able to look forward to a future less burdened by Saladins and their gory dreams.

#4 Great article but it really doesn't raise my hopes that Islam can save itself from nuclear annihilation. Their lust for violence drives them to possess and deploy weapons of such magnitude that they instantly become a threat to their own continued existence. |

#2 An interesting article which points out with considerable historical conviction that Islam is proactive, not reactive. Islam is not a religion of emasculated victims reacting to imperialist Western civilization. Islam is a virile, competing imperialist civilization angry with the West for outpacing it, and eager to overtake its perceived competitor as quickly as possible. This is a hard concept for our liberal intellectuals to grasp as they wallow in the depths of their cognitive dissidence. Maybe when pork, Marxism, and lesbian sex become illegal, theyÂ’ll catch on. Maybe. |

#1 "Muslim political ambitions aren't a reaction to Western encroachments." Interesting, since this argument is what the media buys into (i.e., It's all our fault . . . ) Great article for the files. Thanks SR-71 |
