A Tale of Conquest?

Islamic Conquest

 

The Anchoress asks the pertinent question:

 

Do The Rapes of Rotherham Tell a Tale of Conquest?

What Rotherham puts me in mind of is the behavior of the conqueror. One of the terrible after-effects of invasion and war has been the subjugation of the women, the rape of wives and daughters, the seed of the conqueror, inserted into a culture and a society — yet another tactic meant to subdue and eradicate.

Go here to read the rest.  There is one word to describe what went on in Rotherham and that word is ghanîmah.  Go here to read all about it.  The contempt shown for the girls of Rotherham, to be used as sexual playthings by Muslim men, is merely the latest variant of something that has been going on in a war waged by Islam against the rest of the world for thirteen centuries.  The West, in its hubris, sought to be done with its Christian heritage and made the mistake of assuming that Islam was merely a worn out superstition that its former adherents would quickly shed.  Winston Churchill, in his salad days, was wiser:

 

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia
in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many
countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods
of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the
Prophet rule or live.  A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and
refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity.  The fact that in Mohammedan
law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as
a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the
faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

 

 

 

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion
paralyzes the social development of those who follow it.  No stronger retrograde
force exists in the world.  Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant
and proselytizing faith.  It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising
fearless warriors at every step, and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the
strong arms of science, the science against which it (Islam) has vainly struggled,
the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

 

We are now seeing how well our vaunted science defends us, when the spirit of Christianity has deserted out leaders and only empty nihilism is raised in its place.

One only has to read, should read, “The Sword of the Prophet’ by Serge Trifkovic to know how the muslim truly thinks. I do no mean understand. In the minds of many active Muslims America was conquered by the 9/11bombings. They were never punished and some suffered martyrdom. Rotherham with its lack too of an appropriate devastating reply is again a battle and conquest of the infidels they can act without reprisals and that is why they despise us. They will do it again both actions and soon, knowing that their nation will not be conquered and some will be martyred. A fitting conclusion in their eyes. In reality and probably in the thoughts of their Imams they own us lock stock and barrel and it is only a matter of time when Allah will show it.

Today’s NY Times has a fascinating video on the lone Shiite survivor of an ISIS June massacre who was not shot as the others were shot on the ground around him. At night he fled but only survived because a Sunni family did hide him despite his being Shiite and even though ISIS became aware of his survival, that family drove him into a safe area. But prior to meeting them, he initially ate worms prior to swimming across the Tigris which still left him in ISIS territory….where good Sunni’s gave him tomatoes etc. Then he met the heroic family who saved him. Now he is back with his wife and two little children.
Check out that fascinating video at the Times.

Trifkovic’s book is okay, but I think Robert Spencer’s works are far better. They essentially agree, but Spencer is much better sourced and more thorough.

Dale, I’d agree. BTW, Robert Spencer is correcting Fr. Dwight Longenecker this morning. See http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/09/catholic-priest-islamic-state-misunderstands-islam-quran-doesnt-command-beheading

You are aware that not all of the perpetrators of these crimes were Muslims?

Some Muslims abuse young girls So do some people professing to be Christians or Buddhists.

It’s the same crime whether it’s a Muslim or a Mormon. I don’t see anything to be gained by turning this into a racial or relious affair.

There is this concept called correlation. It does not necessarily prove that one thing causes or is the cause of another, but it does give one prudent suggestions. For example, being alone at night in a dark alley in the inner parts of a large city show high correlation with being a victim of a crime. This does not mean night, dark alleys, or inner parts of large cities cause crime. Yet, no sane person disputes it would be prudent to avoid such places if feasible.

“I don’t see anything to be gained by turning this into a racial or relious affair.”

All religions are equally good. Indeed. Except Islam, which is really, really good. Even though there are a lot of misunderstanders who call themselves Muslim and do really horrible things while quoting the Koran and hadiths. Worse luck, the misunderstanders always make the same horrible mistakes in Muslim majority nations, too. Islam is really, really good–terrific, even!–but it must be super-complicated because so many people who grow up Muslim don’t seem to understand how it condemns all the bad stuff they constantly do in the name of Islam. Which is super-terrific, by the way.

Islam has no Holy Spirit, as Allah has no son to love and no son to love him. None of the World Trade Center bombers have returned from eternity to prove that they are in heaven with their promised 72 virgins.
.
Put to death all that is sinful in your members, in your mind, in your heart and in your soul. Sadly, some muslims have cofused this and try to purify themselves by putting to death their neighbors.
