This is a mugshot of Nour Hadid. Nour lives near Chicago. She is a muslim woman who has confessed to beating her two-year-old niece, Bhia Hadid, to death over a four day period of torture.

Nour’s husband, Alaeddin Hadid, who surely must have been away on a business trip or was so deeply immersed in the study of islamic texts that he did not notice the “head to toe”bruises, screams and what must (at least by the third day of beatings!) have been severely altered behavior, is very upset. Is he upset by the death of little Bhia? Is he devastated that his wife has confessed to this brutal, extended torture and murder?

No, actually, Alaeddin seems to be most upset by the photograph above. He prefers focussing and raging on the fact that his wife’s mug shot was released by the police and published in the press. He is upset because the mug shot shows her without her Hijab and with her shoulders exposed by the tank top she was wearing. He has been quoted as saying that the police are “really going to be in big trouble” because this is against their religion. He’s going to sue.

I’ve been considering a request from a post-graduate student who wants to do a thesis on Islamophobia in Australia. She writes: “I am researching the topic Islamophobia, and I am trying to prove whether Islamophobia is based on religion fear or cultural fear of Islam.”

What about proving that Islamophobia exists at all? That would be the logical, ethical and scholarly starting point. But it appears the outcome has already been decided. This would fit the prevailing orthodoxy in academia that the default position for Muslims in Australia is victim. The jargon, “Islamophobia” is part of this ideological construct. Literally, it means fear of Muslims.

Let us rather say that “Islamophobia” isn’t as widespread as it ought to be. Islam is an oppressive totalitarian ideology with which no co-existence is possible; to fear such a system is utterly rational.

A good explanation of why talking to Muslims will not stop their attempts to conquer the world.

In less than four centuries Christianity was able to win the Roman Empire over to itself. This happened from the bottom up, without force or violence, without government intervention or support. On the contrary, the government of the Roman Empire, by persecuting Christians from time to time, hindered Christianization with force and violence.

The Muslims managed to conquer roughly the same area as that of the ancient Roman Empire in about a century, with the exception of Western Europe, where they were stopped in France by Charles Martel (732), and with the exception of Turkey and the current Balkans, where the Muslims were stopped by the Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantines, until the middle of the fifteenth century.

There is not a single Muslim who is unaware of this century of conquests. The military successes of that time are generally perceived by Islamic theologians as proof of the truth of Islam and the correctness of the statements made by Muhammad about himself and his mission. This century of conquest plays a major role in Islamic apologetics. If Islam were not God’s own religion, Muslims reason, and if Muhammad were not the messenger of God, they think, then these conquests would not have taken place and would not have been so successful. These conquests can be considered as akbar dalaala alla Sidq muHammad, “the best proof of the sincerity of Muhammad,” as a comment in the Qur’an at one point expresses it.

Those who wish to may apologize for the later Christian violence, even though their personal share in the mistakes that were committed during those centuries is small. Because of the “confession” that is part of the Christian liturgy, Christians are perhaps trained too well in the confession of guilt, and that contrasts with the views of most Muslims, who are in fact proud of the warfare of Islam against the Christians, and of the military triumphs that were achieved, at least in the early days. Later the balance of power changed in favor of Christianity. But we need to understand fully that the Muslims could have stayed at home in Medina. They did not do so; they marched out to battle. According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad settled in Medina in 622, and since then the Muslims have increasingly engaged their neighbors with the use of arms. Time and again, the Muslims declared war on their neighbors at the borders of their ever growing empire.

It affects the media, the classroom, the courts, the marketplace, and all other areas of human activity. Sharia law prescribes and proscribes all categories of behavior. Nothing is exempt.

We are all too familiar with the persecution of Christians in countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan. Yet sitting in front of me is a British woman whose life has been threatened in this country solely because she is a Christian. Indeed, so real is the threat that the book she has written about her experiences has had to appear under an assumed name.

Put this next to what’s happening in Malmo, Sweden, and it becomes plain to anyone who is paying attention that letting significant numbers of Muslims into your country is a recipe for disaster.

The 23-year-old, brought to worldwide attention after an Independent campaign, was praying that Afghanistan’s top judges would quash his conviction for lack of evidence, or because he was tried in secret and convicted without a defence lawyer. Instead, almost 18 months after he was arrested for allegedly circulating an article about women’s rights, any hope of justice and due process evaporated amid gross irregularities, allegations of corruption and coercion at the Supreme Court. Justices issued their decision in secret, without letting Mr Kambaksh’s lawyer submit so much as a word in his defence.

A useful reminder that Afghanistan, although better than it was, is still locked in the hell of Islamic law. The ironic part is that the Chattering Classes in the West, who would be the first to take to the streets if a Christian nation did something like this, are loudly silent. The sad part is that our people are dying, and our wallets bleeding, in order to buy these idiots the freedom to oppress each other.

El Inglés has written about the near inevitability of civil war in Europe, with a particular focus on Denmark. Recent events suggest that the prodromal stage of the coming conflict is already in progress.

The early phase seems to be the violent conflict between Danish Hells Angels and various immigrant gangs. Both the natives and the newcomers are recruiting new members so rapidly that the police are unable to monitor them.

It was precisely this sort of street fighting between Nazis and Communists that punctuated the 1920s and early 1930s.

Clark Coleman writes:

I have been looking back on the Islamic attacks upon freedom of speech and freedom of the press, as in the Danish cartoon controversy, trying to categorize the various responses of liberals and conservatives. It seem that there are five response categories to the worrisome behavior of Muslims in the West:

1. Recognize that Muslims can never assimilate Western values, because Western values are incompatible with Islam, and propose that we change our immigration quotas immediately to stop adding Muslims to the West, as well as taking other measures to make potential jihadists feel unwelcome and self-deport.

2. Bitch and moan and whine about growing Muslim power and friction in the West while proposing no solution.

3. Fantasize that we can “assimilate” Muslims so that they internalize Western values, which implies that we know how to take people who have never, in 1400 years, respected our ideas of freedom and transform them into people who no longer pay attention to the official sharia positions on such things as the Danish cartoons and ignore public expressions that they consider blasphemy.

4. Deny or ignore that there is really any problem in the first place, calling the cartoon riots “isolated incidents” that we should not “overreact” to, etc.

5. Realize that there is cultural incompatibility between Muslims and the West, but consciously choose openness liberalism [meaning, being open and inclusive to all people regardless of how different they are to you] over natural rights liberalism [meaning, admitting only people who subscribe to the rights of man], to refer back to Allan Bloom and previous VFR discussions, and accept all of the problems of having Muslims in our midst as simply the negative part of a trade-off. (Hence, no energy is spent whining about it, nor denying it.)

If (a huge “if”) conservatives and liberals respectively had a fundamental philosophical understanding of themselves, I would expect conservatives to choose position No. 1, and liberals/leftists to choose position No. 5. The sad truth is that most self-described conservatives and liberals fall across the spectrum of Nos. 2, 3, and 4, with the only thing distinguishing “conservatives” from “liberals” being that “conservatives” fall more towards No. 2 and “liberals” more towards No. 4.

Needless to say, I favor #1.
