Israel's jihad crisis is World's jihad crisis
2021-05-17
Sultan Knish
Israel is a not a war zone because of geopolitics, but because it shares a common crisis with Europe, America, Russia, China and numerous other countries, most of whom are trying to buy time for their own internal Islamic insurgencies by siding with the Jihadist insurgency inside Israel.

A sizable hostile minority within your borders is always an explosive element, but Islamic migration is unique in that it emerged and still emerges from a tribal and religious manifest destiny of world conquest.

Israel's Islamic minority is particularly hostile because unlike those of America, Europe, Russia, and China it came to the Jewish State as a conquering force and made up the 'Herrenvolk', the colonial master race, within living memory (religiously, if not ethnically under the Ottoman Empire). The hostility was fed by a succession of foreign powers, Britain before and after WW2, Germany in WW1 and WW2, by Russian during the Cold War, by Iran, Qatar, and Russia after the Cold War, but it's still innate.

Tribal hostility is bad enough as even a brief look at Rwanda and African genocides, or those in the Balkans ought to show, but combine that with Islamic manifest destiny and you have a perpetual war.

While the legal fiction that is the international community has kept on pressuring Israel to "resolve" the conflict with territorial concessions, providing the insurgency with dedicated territory has worsened it.

...The fragmented Muslim populations of the world are the remnants of an aspiring empire created by centuries of conquests and invasions. Islam convinces them to see themselves as part of that Ummah, a civilizational empire that is meant to encompass the world. Tribalism sharpens the edge of that religious hostility by giving it a personal edge and a familial aspiration.

Critics say that Muslim terrorism kills more Muslims than non-Muslims. That's true, but not much of a defense.

...The Islamic conquests failed to assemble any kind of global utopian empire. But then they never had a chance of doing that. They did however destroy countless peoples, eliminate many cultures, and create broken mirror images of the original Mohammedan Jihad with little emirates ruled by little Mohammeds. And they killed countless millions and ushered in a thousand years of tyranny and terror.

The fall of the Ottoman Empire revived Jewish hopes for reclaiming their homeland, but the Zionists had not counted on the endurance of that original war imperative or on the weakness of civilization.

And so the conflict continues.

It continues in Israel, in Europe, and in America, in Russia, and in China, and around the world.

#3  It pays to oppose secularism and Liberal advocated happy happy thoughts with extreme prejudice and distrust. The problem with societies never once invaded by Turks and Mongols is that they just don't have a fcuking clue what that nice bearded man next door and his polite wife are bringing with them. In such a case, it would have been wise to learn from others. But then again, classic European arrogance, which survives in all western societies, doesn't let people see beyond their lofty humanist theories of egalitarianism and 'sanctity of life'. while the average muslim is conditioned from birth to accord value to life very selectively. The enlightened secularists and constitution thumpers are no match for the modern islamist, who has evolved a system of using our own constitutions and self-righteous theories of jurisprudence against you. To slowly commandeer whatever structures of power are available, then conquer. You think the Wakandan nonsense in America is about marxists and Soros and muscle for some cheap whores in the legislature? Wait until it shows its true islamic face.

Only people like Ashin Wirathu of Myanmar, the Indian hard Right, or the CPC have the right idea on what to do with muslims; but they're vilified for it because their apprach is unapprovable by modern western jurisprudence which has seeped into all constitutions by now.

Conservative society in liberal countries cannot descend to level required to combat islam because they have been fed shite like 'the abyss gazes into you', 'you become the monster' and other overrated European inanities. While fruitless, failed philosophies are solidified in constitutions and legal parlance, citizens themselves are trained to trust in the social contract which the State just cannot honor anymore.

The church is full of charlatans, predators and 'reeds shaken with the wind'. More a cause for embarrassment and ignominy upon the name of God than soldiers and servants of His vineyard.

In such a world, naturally an overtly peaceful, supposedly 'enigmatic' shit cult and its proud adherents appear to some to be more justified. Conversions and entrapment of non-muslim youth is rampant as the younger generations are given archetypes not worth jack shit. And the psychiatrists... that I could rant on for days.

Jihad is spoken of by islamist apologists and moderates as some kind of struggle within oneself. In that case, the world's jihad is truly with itself.

If only there was some sort of common denominator or point of identification.
