Our Indian correspondent The Kafir sends this follow-up to last week’s essay about Islam.
Islam: Abolition of Civilisation (Part II)
by The Kafir
In the year 1988, Salman Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses was published. Khomeini issued the fatwa. Salman Rushdie was a British citizen. The UK government immediately forced him into hiding, with heavy police protection. The UK had its Muslims. There was no way to know who among them might kill Rushdie. A mob could have come and lynched him. The British knew all this.
If the British knew all this, one might expect they would figure out all the logical things which followed from the affair: Muslims do not respect the West’s concept of free speech, there is no way to find out which Muslim is a potential killer of a blasphemer, and Muslims become mobs for the most outrageous of causes. Therefore, if the UK wanted to keep its free speech rights, it needed to stop Muslim immigration.
In fact, this should have been done by all the Western countries. Instead they opened the gates wider. They even encouraged Muslim immigration, legal and illegal. For example, Tony Blair. And Angela Merkel.
How did the West reach this point? The times when the elites of the most educated, advanced, prosperous, and happy countries of the West want to destroy the countries they are ruling? And the citizenry seem to be just clapping along?
The answer is that in the nineteenth century a man was born named Karl Marx. He confused the masses, and he frightened the elites. He misunderstood the source of wealth, let the masses loose on the elite, and they started making compromises, and now know nothing except making compromises, with anybody who threatens violence.
Burnham understood that Marxism/Communism/Leftism was also the abolition of morality: ‘“Dialectical logic.” Is simply a devise that declares “whatever serves the interest of communist power is true.” (Burnham quoted in the introduction to Suicide of The West, written by Roger Kimball [page 11, Kindle edition]). And the liberals ruling the West are Marxists lite. They know no absolute morality. It is all relative for them. Therefore, they now have different moral laws for different sections of society.
They started with the industrial workers. According to the leftists, the industrial workers are an exploited lot; therefore they are entitled to use violence. Normal laws of morality do not apply to them. They can picket the industrial plant, can wreck it, can even kill the owners. Because they are exploited. The ruling elites gave in. Perhaps they were afraid that if the workers were not allowed to burn down the industrial plant, they might march to parliament building and burn it instead. This was the first exemption from the moral laws granted by the civilized, and it has been downhill ever since. It led to the destruction of industrial plants in the West and rise of the Dependency Class. Work has this profound magical quality that it creates character in the men doing it. Without work, on welfare, Western people lost that character. Word also got around that being a ‘victim’ or ‘oppressed’ gives one exemption from the moral laws. Liberals began manufacturing ‘victim classes’, and people happily joined, because, well, who wants to be burdened with the morality?
Few people comprehend the source of wealth. Even the best of economists mostly fail to pinpoint the fountain that keeps on giving if not blocked by violence. The source of wealth is explained by two laws of economics. First is Ricardo’s law of the Division of Labour, and second is Carl Menger’s law of Marginal Utility. Ricardo’s law explains that if two men both produce articles A and B and total production is C, the C will become larger if the two men agree between them that one of them will produce only article A and the other only article B. It is like a mathematical equation, always true. Carl Menger explained that nothing has intrinsic economic value, entire economic value of a good is subjective. It is obvious that both these laws assume something very fundamental: the sanctity of private property, freedom of trade and freedom to think. If what man produces is not his private property and he is not free to trade his products, is not free to assign value to the goods he wants to purchase in trade, no trade is possible, so no division of labour is possible. And if man is not free to think, not free to speak his mind, no valuation of economic goods is possible, meaning again that there is no trade, and hence no division of labour is possible. That is, no prosperity is possible if private property is not safe; man is not free to trade, free to think, free to speak, if his mind and its products are not safe and free.
The prosperity of the West was created by the right to private property, freedom to trade and freedom of speech. These rights were enumerated by men who had integrity, who had character, who had a sense of honour. Sadly, they were gone by the time followers of Marx began their violence. Marx claimed that the wealth was created by the exploited workers. They agreed and initiated violence. The West was by that time being ruled by the corrupt elite. Their corruption was the corruption that is always generated by prosperity if a very strict vigil is not maintained by society. Wealth, after all, gives power, and this power also corrupts. The ruling elites could not explain the source of wealth, could not defend the source of wealth. Instead, they abolished morality itself and granted the workers the right to violence.
Corruption of the elite soon percolated down. It has reached everywhere. It has reached the people who were supposed to be dealing only with facts: the men of science. So we have doctors, men of science, mutilating children, in the service of a fraud called “gender fluidity”. The surgeons doing the mutilations after all have studied science all their lives and know that the gender of each person is permanently locked into each of over 38 trillion cells that make up their bodies, and no surgery or counselling can ever change it. But they are happily going along with this most outrageous of frauds. In fact, the West died the day when David Reimer, the first victim of the sex-change fraud, and not his tormentor and the fraudster, John Money, committed suicide. The corruption in science soon gave birth to the fraud known as “climate change”, another pestilence along with Islam and wokeism, which is also killing the West. And like David Reimer, those who are exposing the climate change fraud are also being ruined; using lawfare, destroyed by throwing them out of their jobs, and not the climate change fraudsters.
Another example: Till now, plagiarism was a career-ending crime in the West. The discovery of plagiarism meant that the career of the person, whatever he was doing— teaching, journalism, writing — was immediately over, irrevocably. Now, just a few tears upon discovery, an apology, and the person keeps his/her position.
The West is now being ruled by the corrupt elite. Mostly the loser children of the rich along with the liberals. These academic failures, unable to produce anything themselves, have moved to control the levers of power: politics, academia, media, HR departments in the corporations, etc. Devoid of any morality and character, they regulate the businesses, regulate the grants to science, control the careers of bureaucracy, appoint the judges, indoctrinate children in schools, do propaganda through media. They pick up the corrupt, they promote the corrupt, they shelter the corrupt.
It is because of this cesspool of corrupt elites that Islam is flourishing in the West now. Islam loves nothing more than a corrupt kafir elite. It plays along initially; it pays handsome bribes; it stays out of power proper and plays factions of the elite against each other, becomes powerful, gets closer, and one day simply grabs the neck of the elite and breaks it. Dissensions in kafir society are Islam’s core strength. So it spots, nurtures, and finances those who sow dissension, create and widen fault lines in the society. What the Left was doing to the West was exactly what Islam does. It has simply taken over from the Left. The Left had already whitewashed history and created a fake reality around the West and Islam. Islam specializes in victimhood and the Left had declared Islam victim of the West many decades ago. Therefore, the citizens also initially welcomed Muslims into the West.
What Next?
If no intervention is made, what are the years ahead in the West going to look like?
Muslims do not want the things we kafirs want: education, career, wealth, houses, sports, etc. They have not come to the West for a better life. They have come to seize power. They want power over entire world, in each country. Allah has commanded them to do so in verses like 8.39 and 9.29 of Quran. He has told them that everything bad done to kafirs is good in verse 9.120, and in verses 9.14 and 9.15 He tells them that any harm they do to kafirs is actually Allah punishing kafirs by the hands of believers. Allah tells believers to hate kafirs in verses 60.4, 58.22, 4.89, 4.144, 5.51, 5.54, 6.40, 9.23, and 60.1 (the doctrine of Al wala wa Al bara) irrespective of how kafirs behave with them. In 4.144 Allah even threatens believers with grievous punishment if they live with kafirs in peace. And Muslims believe it all. The mind control by their leadership on the average Muslim is total. A Muslim is never allowed to form the adult consciousness necessary to develop a moral compass. He is never given any choice in the matter. if he refuses to join jihad after he has been approached to do so, he is simply killed. This explains why people in countries like Afghanistan “choose” the Taliban over the US, despite all the goodies the US was showering on them. Any Muslim trying to reform all of this is simply killed. Salman Taseer, a Pakistani politician, opposed Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. His own bodyguard killed him for doing so. If the West thinks that its prosperity or its generosity will change any of the above, it is greatly mistaken.
It is instead going to be terror. Islam will now strike terror in Western kafir hearts.
“Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon the enemy; it is the decision we wish to impose.” —Brig S K Malik of Pakistan Army, in his book The Quranic Concept of War
The terror is unleashed to make the kafirs submit:
“The dhimmi is commanded to put his soul, good fortune and desires to death. Above all he should kill the love of life, leadership and honor. [The dhimmi] is to invert the longings of his soul, he is to load it down more heavily than it can bear until it is completely submissive. Thereafter nothing will be unbearable for him. He will be indifferent to subjugation or might. Poverty and wealth will be the same to him; praise and insult will be the same; preventing and yielding will be the same; lost and found will be the same. Then, when all things are the same, it [the soul] will be submissive and yield willingly what it should give.” [Tafsir ibn ‘Ajibah. Commentary on Q9:29. Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ibn ‘Ajibah]
This is the abject wretchedness to which Islam wants to reduce kafirs everywhere in the world. Kafirs then exist just to feed the Muslims in wealth, in slaves, and in sex-slaves. Islam has figured out that terror hits man in the subconscious mind. Terror-stricken men don’t even realise that they are losing the consciousness of being human, and submit. They become like animals, beasts of burden. They start pre-emptively appeasing Muslims; survival alone is on their mind. They constantly praise Islam and lose social bonds with fellow kafirs. They become unreliable, cunning, and become devoid of all sense of honour and shame. That is why striking terror in kafir hearts is the aim of Islam.
“The universalism of Islam, in its all-embracing creed, is imposed on the believers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political, if not strictly military… The Jihad, accordingly, may be stated as a doctrine of a permanent state of war, not continuous fighting.” — Majid Khadduri
Islam will achieve this state of terror by regular terror strikes and psychological warfare. It will kill and rape and loot, and at the same time it will continue to cry victimhood to make sure that kafirs do not react till it is too late. Ibn al-Munir (d. 1333) writes, “War is deceit, i.e., the most complete and perfect war waged by a holy warrior is a war of deception, not confrontation, due to the latter’s inherent danger, and the fact that one can attain victory through treachery without harm [to oneself].” And Ibn Hajar (d. 1448) counsels Muslims “to take great caution in war, while [publicly] lamenting and mourning in order to dupe the infidels.”
Liberals in the West will blame Western countries for each of the terror strikes. They will demand ever more concessions for Islam after each terror strike. The West will continue to surrender incrementally. Islam will bribe favourable politicians and destroy those who oppose it, by smearing them, by forcing them out of jobs, by outright elimination. And ironically, even the bribes it pays to kafir politicians are funded by kafirs themselves. The politicians it bribes give grants of tax money to its organizations such as Islamic Culture Centres, Quranic schools and Muslim NGOs.
Two-tier policing has already been achieved by Islam in the West. The ultimate stage, when kafirs have fewer rights than the domestic animals of Muslims, will also be reached. For example, in Pakistan, if a Muslim steals the buffalo of his Muslim neighbour, police come, investigate and force him to return the buffalo. But if the same Muslim kidnaps the ten-year-old daughter of his Hindu neighbour and declares that the child has converted to Islam and married him, no police, no court, no government can make him return the girl. In India, we see that Muslims vote not for the politicians who govern well, but for the politicians who allow two-tier policing. And two-tier policing is nothing but sharia. Because in sharia there are separate laws for Muslims and kafirs.
To achieve these ends, liberals are helping Islam by devices such as falsifying the present in the service of Islam. Any news that may expose people to the reality of Islam is simply not published/broadcast by the media. Anything adverse happening to Muslims anywhere in the world is blown out of proportion, is run in the loop for days together. A fake reality is thus created. The average citizen draws the conclusion that Muslims are being victimized everywhere. So when he sees them killing kafirs on the streets of a western city, he excuses it all, “How else could victims react?” Islam advances.
Islam goes to great lengths to keep kafirs asleep till it obtains total control. Quran translations on the internet are being sanitized. Any marginalized group in a country is made an ally to hide behind it, to pretend to fight for the oppressed sections of kafirs so that all of Islamic terror gets a secular tag by the Liberals. For example, Dalits of India are being sought as allies. Dr B R Ambedkar, a scholar, politician and Dalit icon, wrote in his book Pakistan, or Partition of India (written in 1945, available on Amazon) about Islam the truths no kafir leader has ever written, not even Churchill. He stated that coexistence with Muslims is impossible, and during the partition of India, the total exchange of populations must take place. That is, after partition, no Muslim should be allowed to stay in India. Yet, in all Muslim rallies in India Ambedkar’s posters are prominently placed, because right now Muslims want Dalits as allies.
People often ask for the solution. The solution is non-political social organizations that can keep watch on the politicians and the government. Western societies erred in leaving everything to the politicians and political parties. But politicians know only one thing: to win and retain power. They have no empathy with the people they rule. To win and retain power, politicians can do anything, can sell the country wholesale. The West needs to revive social organizations. The organizations which have no goal to ever join politics or win power. The organizations which work to inculcate character in the people, fight injustice everywhere, keep watch on the ruling elite (politicians, bureaucracy, media, academia, judiciary), and are run by people with no intention of ever joining politics, with no lust for power. And this needs to be done now, before dhimma is instituted, as after that organizing kafirs will become impossible.

“The elites…want to destroy the countries they are ruling?”
I think your premise of your poser is wrong. I don’t think the ‘toddlers’ GOAL is self-destruction, but, rather, a complete inability to foresee the logical consequences of their [“social justice”] actions (for personal gain).
I think the cause is two-fold: 1) ‘toddlers take quite LITERALLY the utopian world described (mostly tongue-in-cheek) by John Lennon in his song, “Imagine”; and 2) ‘toddlers differ from all previous strains of Communists, socialists, collectivists, et al, in that they’ve UNlearned all of those things that’re self-evident to the average (i.e., “normal”) six year-old.
Remember, the Tom Hanks’ movie “Big”—where a 12 year-old wakes up in an adult body and has alotta fun running around fooling adults? Well, these poopy-headed sophisticates’re effectively (constantly) CRANKY two year-olds (with constantly PLUMP Pampers) living in an adult body. But, unlike the pre-teen character in “Big”, who was just an average Joe that KNEW he was just a kid, these dildoes’re in charge! Not even Kafka could craft a Jonestown that nightmarish.
But I could be wrong (tho’ I doubt it)..
Sounds like you watch too many movies and anti Western songs.
Kafir is dead correct on islam. I wonder about his thoughts on how many Christians the hindus are killing
“Kafir is dead correct on islam. I wonder about his thoughts on how many Christians the hindus are killing”
My comment was narrowly limited to addressing Kafir’s supposition re “the elites”, not Islam. My apologies if that wasn’t clear.
I’m willing to tell any leftist any time that when I joined the left decades ago, the last thing I had in mind was supporting religious conservatives. I had thought that religion was the opiate of the people and that traditional religion always stood in the way of progressive advances. I never dreamed that this applied only to Christians in the West. Muslims are, if anything, even more conservative and opposed to the left than conservative Christians. It is absolutely unbelievable that leftists have chosen to support people who want to overturn their movement. I wish that, since they want to commit suicide, they would just buy a gun and turn it on themselves so the rest of us can deal with the horrible mess they have made.
This is why I have zero sympathy or empathy for those of the left who have wrought this pestilence of the devils religion(islam) upon us. Sooner or later, there is going to be a lot of blood spilt because of this plague of islam and their leftist cheerleaders, there will be no more rules, no more mercy and no more prisoners, a Great Purge will take place until no muslim is left and those who try to stop it will meet the muslims fate with extreme prejudice. Better it starts now rather than later where it will be far bloodier.

“Iran—thanks to PAA, The Prince and The Party—is probably just weeks away from producing their first nuclear weapon. Once that threshold’s crossed, we’re playing in a VERY different game of Russian roulette. It’s 1938 all over again—Germany’s just crossed the line into the Sudetenland; and it’s the allies’ LAST chance to stop him without committing suicide and/or sparking a global war. History keeps repeating itself BECAUSE only the names and dates change.” —posted to fb (Feb 2024)

Let rain, the sooner the better.
To conclude, Allah is the god of this world. He knows that his remaining time is short and his judgment is waiting in the wings. Therefore, he is doing all that he can to usurp control of this world and its peoples by a rather simple if/then choice. Simply said, “Serve me or else be served (up for dinner).” Those who are in power and/or authority have already sold themselves and hope to get the best deal. Thus, we see the population replacements that have begun in Europe now taking place in America. The recessionary inflation that once afflicted Europe is now also at work in the U.S. thanks to Biden and the Fed doing as what they’re told.
Thus, it’s a matter of when, not if, and the probable slaughter will only leave less than 1/10 of the population with the majority dying horrible deaths that were planned. Me, and my family, we’ve seen and read the writing on the wall and we are waiting for the trumpet to sound that will announce our going home. Then the god of this whirled will get his, 1,000 years in the hole.
I agree that the crucial point, which could have avoided so much harm and disaster that came afterwards, was the failure of the British government to stand up for free speech during the whole Salman Rushdie affair.
If the British government at that time had grown a set, stood up to these violent thugs that were threatening an author with death, and made it clear to them, and to the rest of the world, that they could keep all that behaviour in the third world. It has no place here.
Then so much of what has followed would have been avoided. Not least, to jump to the end of the article, the possibility of people getting together to stand up for their own culture.
Instead, look at where we’re at.
The cowardly politicians who failed at that moment in the West’s history have a lot to answer for.
In the last section titled “What Next,” in the first paragraph he cites a number of verses in which his interpretations are a real stretch. For example, he cites verse 9:120 as an example of Allah declaring that “everything bad done to kafirs is good.” Mawdudi translates 9:120 as follows:
It did not behoove the people of Medina and the bedouin Arabs around them that they should refrain from accompanying the Messenger of Allah and stay behind and prefer their own security to his. For whenever they suffer from thirst or weariness or hunger in the Way of Allah, and whenever they tread a place which enrages the unbelievers (whenever anything of this comes to pas)s, a good deed is recorded in their favor. Allah does not cause the work of the doers of good to go to waste.
How does that fit ” everything bad done to kafirs is good” ? I have similar problems with his take on verses 60.4 and 4.144. I haven’t checked all the verses he cites, and while I agree with his conclusions, either his translations are very different from mine, or he should find other verses to support his conclusions.
“… and whenever they tread a place which enrages the unbelievers …, a good deed is recorded in their favor.”
Seems pretty clear. Whenever in their travels the faithful defile or desecrate a place or thing belonging to Kafir the minor moon god they worship will, supposedly, give them due credit. Not sure what the quibble is?
I think you’re right. I’d read it way too narrowly, as applying only to the time when “the people of Medina and the bedouin Arabs around them” didn’t join “the Messenger.” It’s really a “whenever” thing.
The “Abolition of Civilization” is not hyperbole in the least. Islam and western civilization are utterly incompatible and at odds with one another. For many of the reasons detailed by the author, and more that come to mind as well.
A school child once had this common-sense knowledge in a bygone era when the West was unapologetic in protecting itself and its values, traditions and ways of life – but such knowledge today is all but forbidden in many places, if not by law then by the pressures of political correctness.
The West was also once known as “Christendom,” a reflection of the strong faith once held by Europeans. For over a thousand years, Christianity served as the sword and shield protecting European civilization, but now that Europe is secular, it finds itself largely defenseless and ill-equipped to stop what is happening. Indeed, many Europeans do not even know that they are under attack.
Well Georgia, those clueless weak folks are about to find out and will have to decide, for them? Or for us? The muzzy’s just can’t help themselves, they will attack us until the folks finally decide, killem all and let the devil sortem out.
If you are looking for root causes of our current woes I suggest Foucault bears as much responsibility as Marx.
I recommend Cynical Theories by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay.
Really? We need to read all stages of the diabolical streaks of madness fomented amongst the peoples of the west??
The progressive demand to ‘destroy western civilisation’ in order to finally create justice and heaven on earth doesn’t suffice to tell mankind we should avoid all third worldist strikes against us?
The real core fallacy is the Hegelian Dialectic. The concept that if you throw enough word salad against the wall Truth will be revealed by what ever sticks. In other words: if you roll a subject around in rhetorical dirt long enough you can justify anything, regardless of its at best dubious moral moorings. That is the heart of most of the justification for evil that has arisen since, roughly, the beginning of the 19th Century.
