1. Intimidation inherent in challenging an ideology clearly mired in terrorism and issues.
 2. Stubborn denial of conscience and strong prejudice against even considering ugly hypotheses.
 3. Shunning of inductive reasoning that observes evident yet unpleasant associations.
 4. Disinformation and unawareness of historical and other relevant facts.

(1) Intimidation

Blasphemy, fatwas and defamation aside, this topic is so taboo that the few who dare raise it must either remain anonymous or fear for their security. The case against Islam is so suppressed that it is conspicuously absent from the debates. In fact, apologists so totally dominate the discourse that they have convinced the public that the politically correct media are anti-Islam for just reporting the ubiquitous violence perpetrated in its name.

(2) Denial of Conscience

Most people think they are intellectually above average (a collective impossibility), fair and open-minded. Yet most lack the courage to respond to even the most abject injustices [e. g. the classic four ghost-clad women following their husband] and failures of "alternate" cultures. Instead, they rationalize. "Our misunderstanding", "different values", "followers gone astray", "usurpers sullying the good name", etc. Few are willing to ponder, let alone admit, if a philosophy could still devastate today (call it 1913 or 1938 syndrome), especially if it were a religion, the theological sanctioning of a society. Never mind that virtually all must be false anyway, as humans create gods, not vice-versa. True open-mindedness consists of contemplating all premises and weighing the evidence, not of refusing to draw conclusions no matter how strong the case.

(3) Shunned Associative Thinking

Reasoning involves deduction and induction (the basis of the scientific process: modeling and inferring from observations, relations and patterns). The prevailing mind-set proscribes induction, since it exposes and measurably confirms the reality of ethnic behavior [e. g. Russians generally prefer Vodka; Germans beer]. Not all ethnic behavior is benign, but the unpalatable is dismissed as oversimplifying, generalizing, and stereotyping.

(4) Disinformation and Unawareness of the Past

That the general consciousness fails to identify the single most murderous force ever testifies to its sheer power. Much of history is sanitized to please it (witness W. Bush hailing Islam as a "Religion of Peace" just after, in its name, thousands of his citizens were crushed alive, and Negationism, the harmony-seeking whitewashing of Muslim atrocities in India, where the largest genocide ever occurred). This cleansing of the truth is insidious. It creates a sinister fantasy and undermines credibility.

Paradoxically, these distortions come from allegedly erudite though often innumerate (scientifically challenged) modern liberal intellectuals, media, politicians and others seeking the demagogical path of least resistance. These shortfalls create the aberrations of political correctness and cultural relativism, which warp public perceptions and democratic priorities. Political expediency fails predictably ("unintended consequences"): not to focus (profile) on the known gender, age and race factors rewards crime, but to deny that terrorism is a religious phenomenon is simply catastrophic. While spectacular cognoscenti deny the obvious, disingenuous apologists mislead via anecdotal evidence, abstractions and selective exegesis despite the big picture: the origin and core of the philosophy, and its overall data, trend and track record. Criticizing a minority ethnic religion may be treated as racism and bigotry, but acquiescence to Muslim intransigence and double standards, here and abroad, is the polite norm. Delusional optimism in a society that enjoyed decades of prosperity and peace on its soil, as institutions and interests capitalizing on confidence cheerlead, also widen the gap between perceptions and reality that paves the way for 9-11.

Why is Islam so controversial? Is there something to hide? Don’t its facts systematically shatter its claims? Isn’t the Religion of Peace ("Salam" means peace) bogged in incessant jihad and hate: suicidal terrorism, bombings, civil wars and massacres? Doesn’t the Religion of Tolerance, hailed as a total way of life, actually a totalitarian system and mind prison, aggressively persecute all other lifestyles, religions (including its own variations), cultures, and thought, including apostasy, wherever it subdues (Muslim means Submitted), intimidate others wherever it is, and advocate world domination? Doesn’t the Religion of Equality utterly dehumanize women, its largest minority, strip them of even their identity (under subterfuges of modesty and protection), subject them to polygyny, bondage, endless cycles of pregnancies, customary genital mutilation? Attrition, neglect, honor killing and suicide then severely reduce their ranks. Doesn’t the Religion of Justice use repulsive punishments and maintain slavery in its so-called "Muslim world", with double standard in marriage with infidels? Why are there no Muslim democracies? Why do Muslims battle all societies they infiltrate? Why the odd Islam-desert coincidence?

Instead, the pertinent rhetorical questions, especially in light of the wars and genocides of just the last century are: Could a vicious pack of undefeated pillagers with a charismatic leader ever have divinely justified itself? If so, what would be the attributes and consequences of the resulting cult of war? How much evidence would it take to persuade a fair observer?

Such a cult might likely have risen in one of the harshest and most unforgiving environment (the desert), where a pre-existing culture (Arabs) that Herodotus, Father of History, found exceedingly savage. The gang could have started by attacking caravans of [industrious Jewish] traders, on to permanent settlements [Mecca], and on to conquer Arabia and purge it of Jews.

A criminal cult might fanaticize its warrior men by promising them loot, including women (polygyny, "four wives bringing dowries", hour-long marriages, and concubines), and even more if killed in battle (72 virgins and 28 young boys for the libido of 100 men, and sweet wines). It might urge lying, deceit and treachery, murder and theft. (Prophet shockingly violating local norms of not plundering during holy month). His ten-year non-aggression Hudibiyya pact with the [Jewish] Quraysh tribe, which he breached after two years, to behead all its 500+ men, rape its women, enslave its children, and take its wealth). It might push ignorance (Prophet hailed as illiterate) and might admire pedophilia (53 year old Prophet marrying a six-year old [Aisha], to copulate with her three years later), and vandalism (crushing all human representations).

The penal code needs not reflect the severity of offenses, but the Tyrannical Ringleader’s whims, and be final (feet and hand amputations, eye gouging, beheading, crucifying, stoning, burning, tossing off cliffs, etc). Punishments are aimed mostly at females [i. e. possessions] and outsiders (infidels), forbidding both from marrying (except under compulsory unilateral conversions). Condoning wife-beating and honor killing follows his view that "Hell is full of women", with an obsession with female adultery. Unequal court treatment and persecution (including special tax for infidels, or outright executions). Incidentally, when the remaining Jews refused to convert, he focused his wrath to the "Jewish monkeys and pigs", changed his cult, turning it into a parody of Judaism [swapping Ishmael and Isaac, redirecting prayers from Jerusalem to Mecca, etc].

The list of stolen significant sites grows. In Mecca, the black stone used by the prior, obliterated animist cult. In Jerusalem, the Temple Mount’s Dome of the Rock, itself on a church built at the site of the Second Jewish Temple. In Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia, main site of Orthodox Christianity (now a museum); In India, countless temples, including that of Ram at Ayodhya. Rome now has the largest mosque in Europe, etc. Where in the US might they intend on building the next large mosque?

This attitude may explain the parade of criminal-terrorist organizations with devout names (Islamic Jihad [War for Peace?], Hezballah [Party of Allah], Hamas [acronym for Islamic Resistance], Muslim brotherhood, the Mollah clerics, the Taleban [students], Soldiers of Muhammad, etc.), seldom mirrored elsewhere. Whence terrorist nations with no shame or remorse: e.g. Saudi Arabia’s flag, with its statement "There is but one Allah, and Muhammad is his Messenger", above a "Sword of Islam".

Within a few centuries, Jihad had overrun the Middle East, North Africa and was deep into South Asia. After 1096, the Crusades tried recovering Christendom’s own birth and pilgrimage site, and paused Islam’s world domination ambitions. In the East, Mongols absorbed the Submission Cult over centuries, franchised it, crowning their first Muslim ruler in 1365, thereby initiating the greatest-ever wall-building frenzy by the Ming Dynasty of China. The Mongols headed West and South instead. By 1405, the Mongol Jihadist ruler’s grandson, Tamerlane, had crushed the Russians and Indians, and thus controlled the largest empire ever seen. Malays and Indonesians later emulated Islam and essentially rid themselves of Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. In the West, by 1492, Christendom’s Reconquista again purged Europe of Islam again.

The down side of a strategy optimized for conquest is that it may be dysfunctional and unsustainable. Succession issues soon split Muslims into Shiites and Sunnis. Though the movement spread, its empires crumbled to centrifugal tribal forces. Today, the 57 Muslim nations are tyrannies: hereditary monarchies, dictatorships, military juntas, theocracies, or have degenerated into chaos and civil wars. Despots enforce a semblance of sanity ("pragmatism") by often even resorting to restricting or outright banning Islamic parties, lest the clerics impose theocracy and immediate ruin on the (mostly illiterate) population. In turn, poverty, extreme power concentration and unaccountability, corruption, incompetence and mismanagement fuel tensions, feuds, further disintegration, and a return to clan structures.

The recipe of Islamic sedition is simple: 
    1. Amalgamation of Government and Religion 
    2. Intolerable laws and lifestyle clearly stipulated in the Book
    3. demographic bomb = Sedition and Militant Separatism.

Modern wholesale Muslim invasions are historically unprecedented, including in traditionally Muslim-free places, due to tolerant policies and globalism. Muslim immigrants, traders, students, "refugees", etc. take advantage of economic opportunities elsewhere while escaping their own collective quagmire. They displace the natives and shift the local demographics in their favor by harassing their (infidel) neighbors and by ruining the quality of life (filth and hygiene, delinquency, obnoxious habits, Muezzin prayer calls, etc.). Though they typically engage in further smuggling in additional adherents, as part of their illicit, parallel and criminal activities (weapons, drugs, human and other trafficking). Moreover, they refuse to assimilate, in part to prevent their females from marrying infidels. They are highly susceptible to rage and aggression. They arrogantly demand exceptions for their deviant and barbaric practices. They build indoctrination institutions (mosques and schools) as gender and cultural apartheid, and impose their legal code, either piecemeal or wholesale. Rejecting external regimes as illegitimate, their unmatched demographic growth preached in mosques (rejecting family planning), abetted by their females in bondage, all works every time in spawning the intractable pandemic of Islamic separatism.

Muslims are notoriously more militarized, more intransigent, belligerent, and thus disproportionally involved in conflicts. Note that Israel and India each split in 1947 into three pieces, two of them (Pakistan and Bangladesh) just to accommodate their incompatible Muslims and now free of Jews and Hindus/Buddhists respectively, and the last increasingly populated with Muslims, with now around 20% of their population. Turkey (vs. Orthodox Greeks and Christian Armenians). The Muslim breakaway Soviet republics [Turkmenistan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan] (vs. Atheist Russians). Now it is Bosnia-Herzegovina (vs. Catholic Croats). Kosovo and Macedonia (vs. Orthodox Serbs). Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia (vs. Orthodox Russians). Ossetia (vs. Orthodox Georgians). Nagorno-Karrabakh (vs. Armenian Christians). Kashmir-Kargil and throughout India (vs. Hindus and Buddhists). Xingxiang Autonomous Province-East Turkmenistan (vs. Atheist Chinese). Mindanao (vs. Catholic Philippinos). Eritrea (vs. Catholic Ethiopians). Nigeria and Ivory Coast (vs. Christians and Animists). Israel (vs. Jews). Etc.

The proliferation of "Islamic states" (Muslim-dominated countries) within the UN mirrors Muslims doubling every 35 years. These systematically focus on Israel or any nation standing up to Islam (especially via the religiously-motivated, and unparalleled OIC, Organization of the Islamic Conference, with its 57 members, complete with even its own "Islamic Declaration of Human Rights" drafted in 1982), by voting as a block and hijacking UN policies. Yet they never condemn the far greater injustices and wars of their own members. In addition, the vocal Muslims (already over 10% and demographically destabilizing France and Belgium, with millions more in Germany, Italy and England) in Europe intimidate these decaying socialist welfare utopias into oblivion. They are next, as civil strife is ramping up there. De-Islamization only occurred in Iberia and Central Europe during the Reconquista when the Moors and Ottomans were flushed out, and in Turkey with Ataturk Mustafa Kemal Pasha, following its WWI defeat along with its ally Germany, and the dislocation of their empires. The cradle of Serb culture was Kosovo, now virtually Serb-free. Ditto the former capital of Orthodox Christianity, and Constantinople (Istanbul). Jews suffer "wars of extermination" to keep Jerusalem, the birthplace of their civilization.

Consider the "full" Economic Pie. Annihilate remunerated, non-reproductive work by females, and their ancillary services (salons, fashion, etc.). Conservatively 25% of the economy vanishes. With usury laws like those which helped keep Christendom in the Dark Ages a millennium ago, and with speculation-as-gambling restrictions, investments, retirement institutions, financial systems and insurance cease. There goes the entire backbone, and another 25%, of a modern economy. Subtract education, research/development, most artistic expression, entertainment, alcohol and other sectors, and only subsistence-level economics remains. Finally, divide the residual pie among families with excessive fertility rates (five or more children per female, more than virtually any other culture), and here is perhaps the best recipe designed for low GDP per capita and ruin. Meanwhile, private trade, infrastructure or incentives vaporize.

This reality is blurred by several factors. Oilfare, the unimaginable wealth accorded to some over the needs of the energetic infidel world. Blackmail or bribe support of regimes by infidels (e.g. Algeria by France [by fear of its inevitable collapse], Egypt by the US [Carter Legacy: $2B/year peace bribe], (previously) Syria by the USSR, Pakistan by China [to counterbalance India], etc.). Outside NGO’s and world bodies (IMF, World Bank, etc.) squandering resources where no sane investor would. Muslim plunder of non-Muslims within (as the remaining minorities are purged and slowly exterminated). Muslims’ own civil and other wars.

Wars, diseases and starvation used to keep Islam in check. In the past century, and with the help of Civilization, it has multiplied by ten, and is still doubling every thirty-five years, while waging jihad to over a third of the world. Islam’s expansion has mirrored not just war and ruin, but the very death of the land. Cloud-free satellite composite photos of the world reveal the pan-Islamic Wasteland, far and away the largest contiguous sterile expanse, closely matching the boundaries of the faith. It covers almost all of West and North Africa, the Middle East, and spreads deep into Asia, all the way to India and Eastern China. It expands every five years by an area the size of Texas, almost exclusively where Muslims either rule or represent a significant minority. The desertification process is known: polar procession-induced global warming following the last ice age has given way to deforestation by humans for wood-burning, housing, and to make place for farming and agriculture, lowering the hydrological cycle. Islamic mismanagement along with exploding populations exacerbate the process, as failing agriculture is replaced by grazing, per the pastoral culture, from cows to sacrificial sheep and goats, which totally finish the land until utterly barren. Images from space resemble those of a flesh-eating gangrene-like process of vegetation eradication. Debates about "Global Warming" (a quarter of a century ago, it was the "impending Ice Age") skip the unequivocal "Global Drying" and the Islamic population bomb that is sterilizing the planet.

There are at least seven ways in which they are working on to detonate a radiological device in the US. A dirty bomb. A fissile-successful bomb from stolen or smuggled isotopes. A smuggled ex-Soviet tactical nuclear suitcase. A smuggled ex-Soviet ICBM warhead. A fission bomb from China or an Islamic nuclear state brought by plane, boat or sub. Sabotage of a nuclear power plant. In time, the hijacking of a US ACBM warhead. Note the lack of a return address. Thus nuclear terrorism and war is imminent, as WW4 is upon us. Civilization will not prevail without revising engagement rules (as TerrorIslam is unencumbered) and Geneva conventions, especially as the unchecked Islamic population bomb for whom life is meaningless is just as much the threat as the nuclear option it is their absolute religious duty to acquire and use.

The sheer unawareness of both the frequency and severity of genocides secures their recurrence. It may shock that the Holocaust be buried inside the fifth largest, and that by itself it would not make the top six. That honor befalls Leopold’s Congolese (10 million from 1880 to 1905). Fifth are Hitler’s purges (15+ million, including the 5 million Jews) to be added to the 20 million killed in battle in WWII, including in the Asian front, but fourth are Stalin’s, often using starvation (20 million). It pales before Mao’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution (30+ million). Second are the Native Americans over four centuries and the entire New World, often through diseases (40+ million). Finally, the Buddhists and Hindus massacred by Islam for thirteen centuries in greater India (incl. Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh: 50+ million). WWI eliminated 30 million (including the 20 million 1918-1919 flu victims), WWII over 70 million. With Islam/Jihad, the most murderous force in human History, exploding worldwide, nuclear genocide lies ahead.

From a global historical perspective, the obsolete concepts of Tribalism, Feudalism, Monarchism, Slavery, Imperialism, National Socialism, Fascism, and Communism were not defeated painlessly. The last remaining Achilles heel stems by the failure to recognize an irrational and superstition-laden totalitarian regime masquerading as a religion, thus earning it its 1^st Amendment shield. Moreover, falsely separating "Militancy" from this foe ideology, as if the primitive Islamic paradigm were fundamentally sound, gives us "The first politically correct war": Islam vs. Civilization and Civilization vs. terrorism. The longer this charade, the costlier and deadlier, as Islam steamrolls its way across the world largely unchallenged, even after repeatedly striking the US, goes on even after further US indefensibility have now been fully acknowledged. No defense budget can suffice with a strategy doomed from the start, as it fails to address the modus operandi of this enemy. The solution, though elegant, has several steps, yet requires no loss of lives. Unfortunately, it won’t be applied, at least not yet.

(1) Are Moslems not all terrorists? I know a good Moslem!

- There are good (Communists, Nazis, etc.), and bad (Communists, Nazis, etc.). The movements are sick.
- Consider the percentage of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, etc. today who would do terrorism (or suicide bombings). It’s far less than 1%, except for Muslims, where it’s from 10 to 15% at least.
- De facto, "militants" dictate vicious agendas, while "moderates" are double-tongued or irrelevant.

(2) What about Democracy in Turkey, a Muslim nation?

- Turkey was de-Islamized (modernized/Westernized) following the break-up of the Ottoman Empire, by the mandate of Ataturk, and as imposed by the European powers who won WWI. It is exceptional, yet the military junta ensures Islamic parties remain banned.

(3) Were there not great Islamic cultures?

- Few and far in between, usually short-lived, built on slaves and Eunuchs, and not with the economic model described earlier. - They existed when Europe was weak, and thus appeared relatively stronger.
- Make no mistake; today’ s Islamic economic model clearly is optimal for utter ruin and decay.

(4) Isn’t Islam Reforming?

- It has not in over one thousand years. Iran may outgrow the fanaticism, but not the nuclear arms race.

(5) Doesn’t Islam preach peace and tolerance?

- When it is a minority. Else, yes, with its Muslim neighbors. In practice, even that fails.
- No other religion is allowed at all in Saudi Arabia, etc.

(6) Is this argument not extremism?

- Islam is extreme once it dominates. Appeasement encourages the Qoreysh’s or the WTC’s fate.

(7) Have you read the Q’Ran?

- Misses the point. No need to waste time reading Mein Kampf (German for My Jihad), Das Kapital or the Communist Manifesto to judge a sick system. Judge them by their deeds.

(8) Jihad means "Internal struggle"?

- Sure. Like the bloody borders of Islam are internal stuggles.

(9) Muslims only defend themselves?

- Try believing that when faced with a doubling population of intolerant jihadists
