Brilliantly explained, thanks Danny. I struggle to try and explain these ideas to people who have an inbuilt hesitation in criticising what they see as a race or a religion. Islam is neither but we have such a long way to go before westerners realise this. Thanks for providing us with the tools to try and wake people up. More importantly, will our leaders wake up before it’s too late.

If/when a major case on Islam comes before SCOTUS, it is an imperative that you write an amicus brief. If a future SCOTUS gets it wrong, America could very well be doomed.

One of the most clear explanations about the nature of Islam's threat to the West I've seen! 😊 Thanks!

Great article but why didn’t you translate Dar al-harb as “house of war"?

Islam is more than one category, like Judaism is, yet Christianity, Hinduism or Buddhism , single categories -religions or perhaps philosophies too-are not, though Christianity used to be .

Islam is a religion, this can't be denied. But the other category, supremacist political world dominating entity is by now unique. It is dark in its totalitarianism and disrespect for all other forms of human thinking and behaviour, in the havoc it creates and the savagery it is capable of perpetrating.

The craving for sameness and submission- the literal meaning of Islam- are dehumanising and result in war, cruelty and misogyny. The domination of women is the owning of their wombs, assuring over-population also as a form of domination, where Nature actually agrees with them, brutal as Nature can be. The West, on the contrary, is depopulating and committing civilisation suicide.

The savagery is not only from Islam's Quranic ideology towards the rest of the world, untouched by any enlightened principle, but from Muslims slaughtering other Muslims who don't conform exactly to their tribe or strain of faith. Soviet Communism and Nazism were such ideologies and supremacist world -dominating lethal cancers.

They were defeated .Perhaps there is hope that Islam may be put in its place amidst other civilisations, sent to their territories, or gotten to willingly assimilate , even as they keep their own religious way of life without invading others' space, as the Jews did.

Muslim territories were, naturally, conquered brutally by the sword and colonised, back in History, a history that remains present in the goals of Islam .Not " Islamism", not " fundamentalism", not " extremism". Just Islam. Islam suffices to pose a threat to the rest of the world.

An example of multi- category entities is the Jewish People. Religion, orthodoxy and profound secularism, peoplehood, kinship, history, land, language, books, cultures, but one thing surely missing: missionary or world domination urges. Israel would have been content allowed to exist in peace and freedom from foreign domination in the Land of Israel. They wrote their sacred books and histories by themselves and for themselves. They did dream of being respected, recognised and their ideals perhaps improving the world. They felt chosen for an ethical mission. They welcomed the stranger , fought invaders and hostile peoples. But never sought others, non- Israelites or Jews, to become, think or behave like them. It's one reason why Jews are hard to keep under a totalitarian fist, as Islam craves. Jews are hard to govern.

Islam slaughtered them, " allowed" them as second or third class citizens, or got rid of them as they got rid of Christians, and still do. Islam is profoundly racist . Amazingly, to Black people.

Christianity was another worldwide aspiring multi- category , as the Church in the past rivalled the secular powers for domination, and kept the masses in terror with the afterlife, a tactic Islam also uses. Missionary zeal still lives in Christianity, but the loss of secular power since the Enlightenment and the French Revolution turned Christianity into a religion only in our time. It also struggles as a religion, whilst Islam gains converts constantly in large numbers, particularly men who feel Islam grants them a more " manly" place of honour and control of women than the West allowed them.
