It's Not About Politics or Israel, It's About Islam and Always Has Been
2023-10-22
[PJ] The latest Islamic attack conducted by Hamas was not about the politics surrounding the Gaza Strip. It wasn’t even about Israel; those are just the two most recent excuses for a bloodletting that, in the eyes of extremists, is not only justified but obligatory.

Islam was established in Anatolia, but, between the 14th and 16th centuries, the religion spread via Ottoman conquest to the Balkan Peninsula and central Hungary. The Ottoman state based its authority on religion. The first warrior-sultans expanded the empire in the name of Islam. Sultans claimed the title of caliph, or successor to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. Alongside the sultans, religious scholars, called ulama, played a significant role in running the state.

The Siege of Vienna in 1529 was the first attempt by the Ottoman Empire to capture the capital city of Vienna, Austria. Suleiman the Magnificent, sultan of the Ottomans, attacked the city with over 100,000 men while the defenders, led by Niklas Graf Salm, numbered no more than 21,000. Nevertheless, Vienna was able to survive the siege, which ultimately lasted just over two weeks from September 27 to October 15, 1529.

During that first siege of Vienna in 1529, the invading Muslim horde decided that "children were to be cut out of their mother’s wombs and stuck on pikes." Are we to believe that was just a protest against colonialism or capitalism? When a Muslim chronicle boasted that, during the genocide against the Sikhs in the 18th century, "the shrieks of the women captives who were being raped deafened the ears of the people," was this a response to globalism or Zionism? Perhaps was this simply Islam.

In 1929, a Muslim mob attacked the Jewish city of Safed. The attackers burst into an orphanage and "smashed the children’s heads and cut off their hands." Later that same year, another attack known as the Hebron massacre killed 69 Jews. The event also left scores seriously wounded or maimed. Jewish homes were pillaged, and synagogues were ransacked. Some of the 435 Jews who survived were hidden by local Arab families. The attackers were supposedly triggered to violence by rumors that Jews were planning to seize control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

#6  You are 'other', infidel to them similar to the Nazi untermenschen. Your life has no worth to them other than subservience. Depending upon the 'brand' of Islam, they're also kill other Muslims as heretics with just as much fervor.

#2  At this stage of human history I find it appalling that virtually none of the loudest Islamic allies have ever troubled themselves to actually read the Koran.

Neither do they give any consideration to the circumstances of that book. That to their faithful it is the dictate word of their god as presented to their anointed prophet. For them, truly it is written. Period.

Read the damned book. If not for your own survival how about Western Civilization or the United States of America.

Read what they are commanded to do by their prophet in what they believe are direct orders in equally direct language from their god. For in those words are the relatively simple directions they have been following for 1,400 years.

They have a de facto state of War with every non-believer. Fight when you are winning, beg for truce when you are losing and passively invade civilized countries always. Exploit any sign of weakness.

Read it in their own words and understand. Bibi said the great lesson of the Holocaust was if people said they were coming to kill you, believe them.

They say it every week in mosques all over the world and they want to kill us, it really is that simple. Jews? Jews-schmews, in Islam a non-believer is a non-believer.

Laugh and rationalize at our collective peril.
