| A Tipping Point – The Muslim Holocaust |
| 2006-02-15 |
| I was talking with an Iranian friend of mine the other day. He is an enlightened Middle Easterner and rues the day Khomeini ascended to power in Iran. Unlike many of his fellow countrymen, I have never had trouble discussing many of even the most sensitive issues surrounding Iran’s recent actions. He displays a clear understanding of exactly why Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons and also knows that a popular uprising to topple the mullahs is less than likely. Here at Rantburg, I often talk about the Global Cultural Genocide™ that awaits our world should fundamentalist or Salafist Islam come to power. The re-established of a Caliphate could easily be followed by an abandonment of many modern advances such as equal rights for women, coeducational universities, many aspects of modern medicine and other technological advances like camera cell phones. The political ramifications and potential for curtailment of religious freedom, free speech and the right to self-expression all stand at risk. Denmark’s recent publication of cartoons brought this into a very glaring light. More than anything, it is the reversion of centuries of medical and technical progress that poses one of the greatest threats to modern culture. Should these advances be abandoned, it would spell the doom of millions, if not, billions of innocent people. As a thought experiment, I asked my Iranian friend how many people would perish in the establishment of a global Caliphate. His immediate offhand estimate was “half of the world’s population.” I concur with his estimate and had already reached such a conclusion several days ago. This is the “tipping point” referred to in the title. If Islam continues to press for global domination then the remaining world must clearly understand the consequences that await us. When placed upon the scales, the lives of some 1.25 billion Muslims do not compare, even remotely, to this planet’s six or seven billion inhabitants. This realization is what finally tipped the scales for myself. The potential deaths of some three billion people quite simply outweigh the outright extermination of 1.25 billion Muslims. Added to that is the fact that our world would continue to proceed apace in its pursuit of modernization, untrammeled by restrictive and outrightly oppressive Islamist constraints. This is what we are confronted with. Losing a huge fraction of this world’s entire population and regressing several centuries or simply eliminating a violent and pathological portion of our globe’s people who insist upon domination through violent religious conversion and imposition of backwards and archaic theocratic dictum. This is the tipping point I have finally had to recognize. I now advocate direct and unmistakable policy which puts the Islamic world on notice that their quest for imposition of global sharia law is no longer acceptable and that any continuation of violent jihaddist pursuit thereof will eventually result in a global Muslim holocaust. I welcome other points of view and would like this discussion to examine alternate approaches to containing the threat of Islamist domination. Terrorism has already taken a devastating toll upon our modern world and I seek an immediate end to this constant drain of manpower and resources. Each day another 9-11 happens. Another 3,000 people perish of starvation, disease and deprivation. The massive diversion of wealth and effort required to combat Islamist terrorism is no longer acceptable. Too many other people are perishing on a daily basis because a minuscule fraction of an intolerant and violent religion seeks to impose their worldview on an unwilling planet. The vast treasure and Herculean labor currently being expended on securing our world against Islamist terrorism must be redirected back towards addressing this world’s more pressing needs. If Islam is incapable of or unwilling to reign in its own fanatics, then it must pay the price for disrupting so much of our world’s progress towards global peace and international cooperation. Too much is at stake to permit this sort of murderous and repressive culture to abound any further. We have already seen enough of what Islamism intends to imagine that anything less than Global Cultural Genocide™ awaits us. |

| #7 Anonymoose, I haven't heard that before. The refrain of fastest growing religion is almost as loud as Religion of Peace. I've always said you can grow faster percentage wise when your numbers are smaller to begin with but I never actually questions the premise. What you say rings true. I'd really love to see a link if you've got one. Not so much proof but further reading. |

| #6 I would have no qualms whatsoever about moving large numbers of Muslims out of the West. The people on the 'Freedom Go To Hell' march, the prisoners at Belmarsh, CAIR, the MCB, the MAB, anyone who habitually uses the words 'Caliphate', 'jihad', 'sharia', or 'Zionist', anyone connected with Bakri or Hamza or others of that ilk, anyone who expressed approval of the Rushdie fatwah or the van Gogh murder, anyone found to be forcing women in their community to wear the veil, any Muslim involved in any kind of criminal activity etc. It would certainly run into the millions, and 99% of them would be male. I reached this conclusion several years ago. |

| #5 I can't stand you, but you are right about the genocidal nature of a Muslim Craptopia. I'll settle for one out of two. I'm going for the big picture, here. |

| #4 Zenster: I can't stand you, but you are right about the genocidal nature of a Muslim Craptopia. When final-jihad leaves a single khaliph, the moon-god worshippers will turn on each other, according to the self-appointed "prophet" of camel herders. But first, remaining religions - Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc - would be laid waste of billions of members. Seculars and Atheists would enter oblivion as well. If the Shiite-Sunni divide (15-85%) held until then, that would leave more billions of corpses. Then there is the divisions among Sunnis: Wahabis v Ikhwan v Alawites v Nadlatals v Jamaatis v Tablighis v Hizbhis, ad nauseum. Very bloody. So let's pre-empt the genocide scenario by dictating terms of surrender to the Muslim enemy. The time is opportune for an American, Russian, Chinese, Indian, Euro alliance against the most vulgar mob of savages ever to pollute humanity. We know the way; let's develop the will. |

| #3 But they are not becoming *real* Moslems, they are just embracing the parts they like, such as violence, misogeny, and the lack of responsibility for their actions. In other words, they are just thugs, using Islam as their excuse. Dunno. That sounds like Mohammed to me. |

| #2 I suspect that the death of Islam will come as a spiritual, not physical thing. That is, a little-known fact that has Imams and Mullahs shaking in their boots around the world, is that Moslems are leaving their religion in droves, and holding their noses. It is not good enough for these apostates to just quit, however. They are so repelled by Islam and other Moslems that for the most part they are becoming Christians. Being called "non-practicing" is not good enough for them; unless they are "something else", they just aren't far enough away from what they despise. The only people "becoming" Moslems are poor teenagers from families that were already Moslem. But they are not becoming *real* Moslems, they are just embracing the parts they like, such as violence, misogeny, and the lack of responsibility for their actions. In other words, they are just thugs, using Islam as their excuse. This "holocaust" is not loud, nor is it all happening in one place. It is everywhere. And only the statisticians and collection plates tell the real story. Islam is hardening its stance, becoming more fundamentalist and strict, not out of strength, but because it is starving, withering. |

| #1 I don't know if I should be relieved or horrified that individuals more rational than I are starting to draw the same conclusion. Gonna be a looong time before the West gets to that tipping point. |
