After one of the endless series of Islamic terrorist acts in the UK, Conservative (?) Prime Minister Theresa May felt called to proclaim from her ivory tower high above the everyday lives of ordinary citizens that Islamic terrorism is “a perversion of a great faith“.
In fact, it doesn’t take much reading of the Quran to conclude that Islam is not a religion but a crime against humanity, if we take the usual meaning of this term. Islam means submission, i.e. total submission to the idol Allah and thus an absolute denial of human dignity and free will. The Koran itself is one long call for violence and murder against all who are not willing to submit to the medieval values of this idolatry, mixed with meticulous rules for the individual’s life and privacy, and what the Koran, this mishmash of ancient Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic scripts purporting to be Allah’s literal message to the illiterate Muhammad, does not lay down, the scribal “jurists” determine on the basis of traditions and stories about the life and times of the “prophet”. There is a regulation on almost everything a person does, on what to eat and what not to eat, how to dress, how to associate (or rather not associate) with non-believers, how to regard the opposite sex, how to sit, how to eat, how to go to the toilet, etc., etc., and not only alcohol is prohibited, but also images and music and all speech that is not in strict accordance with the Koran and not least the scribes’ extensive interpretations of it.
What is so “great” about this barbaric and primitive belief? Couldn’t Mrs. May be a little more explicit?
In this context, it is natural to draw a comparison with Christianity. Whether you believe in the New Testament or sympathize with its message, there is no denying that Christianity and the Church have been catalysts for greatness. Just think of Europe’s magnificent cathedrals, church music and visual arts. However, it doesn’t stop there. Our entire literature and songbook also draws on the imagery and myths of Christianity, just as all European philosophy and thought is inspired by Christianity or emerged as a reaction to Christianity. Of course, it could be argued that Christian thought has led us into the predicament we find ourselves in today, and this may well be true. We would undoubtedly have been stronger as a people without Christianity, and our inherent creative power would also have emerged without the biblical stories. However, our weakening is due in no small part to the fact that today we believe in nothing – least of all ourselves! In any case, this is another discussion. The importance of Christianity for culture cannot be denied.
Other religions have also created greatness. Both Hinduism and Buddhism have produced art treasures, magnificent buildings and a rich literature. What has Islam created? Practically nothing. Art and literature in the Muslim world did not arise as a result of Islam, but in spite of Islam, and Islamic efforts are aimed at destroying this art and culture. Everything that predates Muhammad must be destroyed. Some will point to magnificent mosques and rich decorative art, but honestly, the mosques all look pretty much the same and are bare and dull inside. Whereas most Danish village churches have their own individual personality, even though Protestantism did what it could to destroy them, mosques are predictably similar, and the ornaments and calligraphy of the decorative arts are a poor substitute for European visual art. Islam has created an artistic and cultural desert as barren as the landscape in which the “religion” has emerged. Add to this the total denial of the natural sciences, which is also found among some Christians, which should not be seen as an excuse. What is so great about it, Mrs. May? May we hear?
We are very much against sending Danish troops to foreign countries to help fight their civil wars. Their conflicts are none of our business, and their wars could be of no concern to us if it weren’t for the fact that the traitors had allowed the Islamic plague to invade our country. Our soldiers’ job is to defend Denmark, and they could start here. Denmark must be cleansed of all traces of Islam. At home, they can whip, stone, behead, mutilate, etc. all they want. Their view of women is none of our business – nor is their political system. We just don’t want any of this, and we must be sure that these phenomena stay where they are. Such societies simply need to be totally isolated. We can probably find a way to get dates and figs from elsewhere, and we can probably manage without their oil – at least for now. They can drink it in the absence of water. And their investments abroad should simply be nationalized. These peoples have created nothing, and those of them who have become rich are only rich because oil happens to be found where they live. They have not lifted a finger to find it or pump it up, but they are making a fortune because we are stupid enough to buy the oil at inflated prices – instead of just getting it. The acquired wealth is now used partly to Islamize the world and partly to invest in Western companies that are then expected to support them when there is no more oil. Work is simply not part of their culture.
If it is to make any sense to send our soldiers to foreign countries, it should be for the purpose of eradicating Islam. Unfortunately, there is no sign of such an approach to the problem. Instead, we have to settle for insisting that Danish laws and regulations are applied so that Islam is banned. Reference is made to the Danish Constitution and the rules governing the practice of religions other than Christianity. Islam violates it all. Islam teaches things that go against morality and public order to the highest degree! Muslim men’s contact with the opposite sex is a major violation of morality, and the entire religion is a mockery of public order as we know it, just as circumcision, for example, is a direct violation of children! In addition, there is a lack of respect for the freedom of religion that they themselves claim, as they do not recognize the right of Muslims to change religion. Thus, there is no basis for approving Islamic religious communities, but rather for banning them. But in the name of pluralism, you close your eyes to the facts. In a country where you are not allowed to give your offspring a well-deserved spanking, you are allowed to cut off pieces of the child (without anesthesia!) because it pleases some celestial being.
A great faith? Up yours, Mrs. May!
