Critical and central truths that must be understood for even a surface level understanding of Islam. This is from 2017 or earlier and before Harris lost the plot.
It's always been radical. Except people started changing when they moved out of Islamic countries. But once they would return they could get into trouble. I do think that this religion unfortunately is very dangerous to human rights and justice and approves of sexism and racism and murder. Unfortunately. But I know people who are Muslim and who are amazing people so I'm not generalizing the people. I'm talking abt the religion. But I do think i can become a cult when to extremes like this……
Re: Sacred texts, the interpretation has lead to that, so perhaps not de jure but certainly de facto. The result is the same. Although, come to think of it, the Hindu texts explicity advocate for war too.
"Re: Communism, the state was the religion." Check.
The Jains which I *think* is an offshoot of Hindus do not. It's a shame actually. Maybe if they had more of a defensive mindset they wouldn't have succumbed to Islamic General Tamerlane's genocide of the Hindus in the tens of millions.
Buddhists also don't really have a war doctrine. Which was a great relief to the Chinese.
War isn't the problem in the same way guns are not the problem. It is who is using it and for what reason.
Tibet would be a wonderful place if they could have just fought the Chinese communists and won.
Arguably the tiny tiny resistance by a few monks may have been the only really popular CIA backed resistance movement in its history.
For me I guess, a defensive war is a moral imperative while a war of manifest destiny is a crime of enormous proportion.
And I mean "defensive" in the way Westerners understand it. Not the Islamic definition, which is if you prevent them from imposing sharia law on you, they have a sharia right to defend their religion and wage a defensive war on you because you resisted their imposition of their religion on you.
😂 Hilarious 😂but in the meantime some ethical and moral soldiers are killing babies, children and a terror is state is starving them because they are haha Amalek YAY and where does this word come from? Ask Mr. Google or any decent AI.
Mohammad was a Bedouin adjacent. He was actually a Meccan till he tried to get the Meccans to follow him as a Judeo-Christian prophet. They laughed him out of town.
Mohammad attacked them, lost, holed up in Yathrib for 2 years as a guest of the Jewish people who homeseteaded that city, then went back and conquered Mecca, and then slaughtered the Jewish tribes of Banu-koriza who populated the ancient city of Yathrib.
he then changed the name of the city to Medina.
Mohammad was an existential enemy of the Jewish people. Which I guess is good news for you. But less good news is that Muslims are an existential threat to all non-Muslims. So unless you want to convert...

Same for Christians, and any other religion that's waged war in the name of their faith. The Baháʼí faith is the only one I can think of that hasn't.
Jains as well.
Communists killed more people and suffering than religion does though in the name of no-religion.
Also most religions use their faith as a motivational instrument when there is an existential threat to the group and they need motivation to fight.
Islam is actually a threat doctrine on its own as an offensive motivational tool.
The Koran is very clear that the whole world is a mosque and all religion must be made for 'allah'.
And while most religions claim to be the only path to the divine, Islam is about worldly war for global conquest.
You won't find that in other sacred texts.

This guy is a freaking joke 😂
Peace though😉
I know more about Islam from watching an Adam Curtis documentary.
It's same Islam it has always been. There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam. There are infiltrators and jihadis. That's it.
Mohamad was a kike too. Islam is just a more violent Judaism.

Probably gonna have to block your comments cause that kinda language will sabotage any attempt to a reasonable solution to a serious problem.
That is probably your intent though so... there is that
Bullshit Jew hating take.
You can call me a racist, but you can't call me a liar.
Sure I can. You're a fucking liar.
