#6 Wow, experimentation with Herb can lead to schizophrenia! Not that I've ever doubted it. Not since me first adult-ish trips to the cool parts of town, anyway.

#8 I say that Islam is an ideology, not a religion. As such its an ideological structure that's derived from several fundamental conditions. Its primary ideas are formed and thus conducive to promoting human behaviors that thrive on a life structured to stay functioning in very barren conditions. A climate where there are essentially no winters.. Such activities are:

1) An individual's survival rate in a barren land improves with parasitic types of behavior rather than individualistic productive behaviors. Hence the need to conform to the group under Islam. Individualism is bad. The Borg thrives.

In a parasitic world, 1 + 1 = 2. One gains by taking from another, rather than creating one's now growth. In the West (and essentially since agriculture began) our western world operates on 1 + 1 = 2.3. Our improved standard of living (called growth the added 0.3 that comes from combining and recombining inputs in new and ever changing ways. Eggs, milk, water and flour has value buy combining them makes a cake which has more value than the isum of the individual inputs. All thing in economic are based on "making something of value. The combined inputs has more value than the operate inputs.

2) The awareness of time in Islam play's little importance in understanding how things work in the real world. Planning ahead is not something that is an inculcated cultural idea in Islam.

3) Logic is also not a primary goal, rather logic's importance only randomly pops up here and there. Scientific method is not Islamic thing. How many islamists are adept at logical public debate? Few if at all. All of these cultural aspects are found by cultures living close to the equator, where seasonality doesn't play a role in decisions about survival. Agriculture is no a big thing in Islam's history. Substance farming is NOT farming. It's more based on nomadic behaviors.

The Islamic calendar is not based on the Sun (365 days) but based on the lunar calendar. Thus Ramadan shifts by 11 days each year. Islam is a pre-agriculture hold-over culture. It's primarily based on Nomadic based values. (don't confuse nomadic with tribal behaviors) A year in Islam still can't adapt to actual agricultural planting cycles. Planting crops in an Islamic world will certainly fail. Islam's ideas are primarily parasitic types of behavior. Take, don't make. Plunder rather than trade. This is why one sees Islamic emigration to Northern climates (where winters force our culture to plan ahead or die out) sees a preponderance of on-the-dole types of dependency.

Islamic rates of procreation are a baked in response to hardship where agricultural productivity is not and was not the primary form of obtaining nourishment for centuries. Haj is structured to allow parasitic behavior upon outsiders coming in. Bringing new ideas, new productivity and added value to the barren western and central parts of Arabia. Without outsiders coming en-mass for centuries the Western areas of Arabia would have long faded out.

It's only since 1938's oil well #7 did oil funds (external Western economic value roll in) supplanting century's of unproductive, Islamic cultural behavior. Arabia (up until oil revenue) had for centuries zero rivers, no top soil, no agriculture, no written laws, do democratic behaviors, only subsistence behaviors. No inventions, no books, no libraries, no indegious cuisine, no true architecture, not even true settled communities. Consangiuos interpersonal behaviors were rampant up until the late 1960's. (look up Aramco medical research) Qatif, Hofuf and Jeddah were basically the only "settled areas". Islam in Europe is not truly compatable. It is not a "clash of civilizations", but rather a clash of cultures. Islam has not inculcated an awareness of time (planning ahead) into its value system, while European (Western) culture is heavily based on being able to foresee one's own actions and the consequences of not foreseeing the future consequences on present decisions (personal responsibility)

Yes, Islam is truly an ideology incompatible with modern technology (past 200 years). Today one is constantly bombarded by how fast values, and ideas are changing. Imagine growing up in a culture that lacks an awarenees of time, planning ahead and having to deal with the rapid changes cause by technology one didn't create. Count how many Islamic ideas have been awarded a Nobel prize? Too few to even list. There's reason why I believe that Islam is not compatible with today's world. It will likely fade from being of true consequence. Peak oil production is a real thing. It just is being kept a bay for the time being by Western technology.... thank goodness. I predict France's current predicament will not last and will fade to be a long term problem. God I hope I'm right. But if I'm not....I won't be around to see it unfold. Take care all.

#10 Plumb the perfect Mohammedan mind
Like McElligot's Pool and you'll find
It a stagnant oasis
Of selfishness, stasis,
And patiently planning behind.

#11 Not to mention worn out pointy-toed slippers, rusty scimitars, old Korans, and a veritable seamount of discarded hadiths and whatnot.

#12 Lesser known Churchill quote on Islam:
"Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men’s passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside.

The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as danger­ous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious blood­thirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting.

Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace. Luckily the religion of peace is usually the better armed. —The Story of the Malakand Field Force (1898), 26-27
