Ask almost anyone from any background if there is any value to human life and they will think it is a trick question. Press them for an honest answer and you will get something akin to, "Of course human life is valuable," or "Human life is the most valuable thing on Earth,". I believe that the overwhelming majority of people on Earth are of the same belief. There are, of course, those fringe elements in the world, who hold human life as less than the most valuable, while some see it as the least most precious. The current manifestation of radical Islam, Hitler’s Nazis and their final solution, and crazed, sociopathic murderers all see no value to some portion of humanity. But in our world today is a minority group of well educated, highly dedicated people who, in their beliefs and actions, are more dangerous to the existance of humanity than all these other groups combined. This group is the hard core environmentalists. The environmental purists believe that nature, in its most virgin form, is the only thing of value in existence. They see man not as a part of nature, but as a cancerous disease and destroyer of Earth and its non-human occupants. Their core values are such that, unlike Hitler whose murderous crimes targeted the Jews and gypsies of the world, and unlike Islam who see infidels as deserving to die, these environment/nature worshippers seek nothing less than the total eradication of all humankind as the ultimate goal and they are hard at work in everyway they can conceive to see that goal achieved.

Some may say that I am exagerating in my conclusions and that environmentalists just want to reduce pollution and global climate change to insure we don’t ruin our home planet. To those I submit the following, quoted statements…

"Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity, are not as important as a wild and healthy planet. I know social scientists who remind me that people are part of nature, but it isn’t true. Somewhere along the line – about a billion years ago, or half of that – we quit the contract and became a cancer. We are a plague upon ourselves and upon Earth.

It is cosmically unlikely that the developed world will choose to end its orgy of fossil energy consumption, and the Third World its suicidal consumption of landscape. Until such time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along." ---David M. Graber, biologist with the National Park Service, reviewing The End of Nature by Bill McKibben for the Los Angeles Times Book Review, October 22, 1989.

"Phasing out of the human race will solve every problem on Earth, social and environmental." ---Dave Foreman, founder of Earth First

It is the belief in nature, not mankind, as the supremely valuable entity which makes these people dangerous. And it is these people who, under the guise of higher education and expertise, have made the environmental movement the political and social beheamoth it has become. They are responsible for the creation of the EPA, the animal rights movement, the global warming/climate change farce, the push to find alternative sources of energy, and the majority of reasons for the decline and hatred of western civilization in the world. One of the ways they seek to dominate and control mankind is through collectivism, destroying the rights of individuals and making all humankind reponsible for everything detrimental to nature, even if the harm is imagined or fabricated. Collectivivsm is the core for ideologies such as Marxism, the Nazis, and radical Islam. Only humankind as a whole is worthy of life. Individuals are there only for the benefit of all humanity. Any advance or progress by a group of individuals is wrong if the whole of humanity is not included in the benefits of that advancement. If the hardcore environmentalists had their way, which is the case most times today, mankind would de-evolve back to its fundamental, non-technical beginnings and would exist as cave dwelling, hunter gatherers who are at the mercy of their environment.

What they don’t want to admit is that the ability to adapt, humans being the ultimate success stories at adaptation, is built into even the first humans and has naturally evolved into what we are today. It is no more or less natural than the rise of mammals after the jurassic, the survival of the shark and alligator, and the multiple instances of mass extinction of myriads of species by nature itself. Man is naturally inquisitive and that leads to him seeking a better and easier way of life. It is called human nature, and there is no evil in its ideals.

The environmental movement is at the core of the majority of modern man’s social and economic ailments. Their methods are subtle and constitute social terrorism. Only the total annihilation of the environmental movement will insure man’s progress in social, economic, humanitarian, and technological endeavors. We don’t require the guidance of radicals to teach us that we need to do our best at what we attempt. Mankind already has that sense of self-preservation built in and will follow it if allowed the individual liberty to do so.

This is meant to address those who are apalled by the profiling of mid-eastern and Arab looking people at our airports and other transit centers, by those who have the responsibility of keeping us safe. I admit, their methods of administering this policy have much to be disdained and need to be more clearly delineated. But the reason why the US should single out mid-eastern and Arab people for special consideration should be obvious. Or have you forgotten one glaring truth.

These people have openly declared war on us, branding us the "Great Satan", attacking our cities, training in paramilitary camps to blow themselves up to kill Americans and then doing it for real. They have warned us that "Jihad" is being waged and western civilization is the enemy to be destroyed at all costs.

Not North Korea, Communist China, nor Castro's Cuba has that degree of hate for our nation. Not even Hitler hated us that much. He wanted to rule us, not destroy us. The only comparison in history to the hate these Arab extremists have for us was the attitude of the Japanese warlords before WWII, and this attitude was held not only against the US, but against any non Japanese society. Anytime one society proclaims itself superior to all they end up defeated and ruled over by the ones they claimed superiority over. Never has there been an exception to that, and we should not allow one now.

Let it be known that I am not talking about all Moslims or Arabs. As in most situations a radical minority is responsible for the war we are forced to engage in. From my experience those of the Moslim faith and middle-eastern background for the most part are peace loving, tolerant people who want nothing more than to worship their god as they see fit. This applies especially to those who have immigrated to countries having religious liberties. They have learned that tolerance of others is more righteous than a percieved jihad.

The small, radical minority is what we are at war against, and this not by choice. With their roots firmly planted in Saudi, Arabia, these radical assasins read what they wish into their holy scripture and teach that to their children in schools far from the reach of the Saudi government. There is no amount of diplomacy, no degree of understanding or tolerance that could sway these extreme Moslims from their holy endeavor. They don't want to co-exist or be touchy feely with us, they want us dead. All of us. Or at the very least they want to impose Alla and his law on us. Their state shall be under Moslim law, and soon, the Moslim law WILL BE the state. They know no other way and will fight and kill all who oppose them.

So, are we insensitive when we suspect Arab looking men acting strangely of being terrorists? Is being "politically incorrect" and profiling mid-eastern people as possible enemies so terrible? Not if you are savvy and want to survive. After all, even a peaceful dove knows what a hawk looks like. We must, if we have any hope of succeeding in our efforts to survive, identify our enemy and concentrate our resources on their destruction, not on maintaining an appearance of, so called, fairness. To not do so is a battle surrendered.

Eventually, after we give them every opportunity to live together peacefully, after they take every open hand we extend and use it against us, we will necessarily overpower and destroy them. However, we can not afford to rebuild this enemy as we have in the past. This war will require total anihillation of the enemy and their supporters, because that is what they want for us.

This is a talk in Europe given by Serge Trifkovic at the Antijihad Conference in Vienna on May 10-11, taken from Gates of Vienna.

"Europe today is a powder keg," Otto von Bismarck remarked , "and the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal."

I am not going to waste your time tonight with yet another treatise on why Islam is not the Religion of Peace, Tolerance, Compassion, etc, etc. We are beyond that. Had America agonized, in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, whether Shinto was actually OK but only Bushido was bad, the Greater Asian Co-prosperity Sphere would be going strong to this day. Among reasonable people, unblinkered by the dicta of political correctitude, the real score on Muhammad and his followers is well known. It has been known for centuries. That score, however, no matter how calmly stated and comprehensively supported, invariably elicits the howls of "Islamophobia" from the neoliberal elite class.

AN EMINENTLY POSTMODERN LITTLE PHOBIA

In the way of an introduction, let us therefore look at the formal, legally tested definition of that word, the latest addition to the arsenal of postmodern "phobias." It is provided by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) based here in Vienna. ("Orwellian" is a worn-out adjective, but it simply has to be used in connection with this particular institution.)

The EUMC diligently tracks the instances of "Islamophobia" all over the Old Continent, which it defines by eight red flags:

1. Islam is seen as a monolithic bloc, static and unresponsive to change.
   
2. Islam is seen as separate and "Other."
   
3. Islam is seen as inferior to the West, barbaric, irrational, primitive and sexist.
   
4. Islam is seen as violent, aggressive, linked to terrorism, engaged in a clash of civilizations.
   
5. Islam is seen as a political ideology.
   
6. Criticisms made of the West by Islam are rejected out of hand.
   
7. Discriminatory practices and Muslims' exclusion from mainstream society are advocated.
   
8. Anti-Muslim hostility is seen as natural or normal.

This definition is obviously intended to preclude any possibility of meaningful discussion of Islam. As it happens,

1. That Islam is static and unresponsive to change is evident from the absence of an internal, orthodox critique of jihad, sharia, jizya, etc. As Clement Huart pointed out back in 1907, "Until the newer conceptions, as to what the Koran teaches as to the duty of the believer towards non-believers, have spread further and have more generally leavened the mass of Moslem belief and opinion, it is the older and orthodox standpoint on this question which must be regarded by non-Moslems as representing Mohammedan teaching and as guiding Mohammedan action." A century later his diagnosis still stands: it is not the jihadists who are "distorting" Islam; the would-be reformers are.
   
2. That Islam is separate from our Western, Christian, European culture and civilization, and "other" than our culture and civilization, is a fact that will not change even if Europe eventually succumbs to the ongoing jihadist demographic onslaught.
   
3. Whether Islam is "inferior to the West" is a matter of opinion, of course. That Islam cannot create a prosperous, harmonious, stable, creative, and attractive human society is not. Whether Islam is "barbaric, irrational, primitive and sexist" is at least debatable; but that many of its tangible fruits are so, is all too painfully visible.
   
4. Islam is seen by so many as "violent, aggressive, supportive of terrorism" not because of some irrational "phobia" in the feverish mind of the beholder, but because (a) of the clear mandate of its scripture; (b) of the record of its 14 centuries of historical practice; and above all (c) of the timeless example of its founder.
   
5. "Islam is seen as a political ideology," and it should be seen as one, because its key trait is a political program to improve man and create a new society; to impose complete control over that society; and to train cadres ready and eager to spill blood. This makes Islam closer to Bolshevism and to National Socialism than to any other religion. It breeds a gnostic paradigm within which the standard response to the challenge presented by "the Other," i.e. non-Muslim societies and cultures, is implacable hostility and violence, or violent intent.
   
6. Criticisms made of the West by Islam should not be rejected out of hand; they should be understood. Its chief "criticism" of the West-and of every other non-Islamic culture or tradition-is that it is infidel, and therefore undeserving of existence.
   
7. A priori hostility towards Islam should not be "used to justify discriminatory practices towards Muslims." Quite the contrary, an education campaign about the teaching and practice of Islam should result in legislative action that would exclude Islam from the societies it is targeting - not because it is an intolerant "religion," but because it is an inherently seditious totalitarian ideology incompatible with the values of the West.
   
8. And finally, while anti-Muslim hostility is not a priori "natural or normal," the desire of non-Muslims to defend their lands, families, cultures and faith against Islamic aggression is "natural and normal"; but the elite class is actively trying to neutralize it.

As the demand for Sharia-based communal self-rule is made with increasing frequency in the banlieus of Paris and the grim West Midlands council estates, Europe's elite class is ready to throw in the towel. Dutch Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner-a Christian Democrat!-sees the demand as perfectly legitimate and argues that sharia could be introduced "by democratic means." Muslims have a right to follow the commands of their religion, even if that included some "dissenting rules of behavior": "Could you block this legally? It would also be a scandal to say 'this isn't allowed'! The majority counts. That is the essence of democracy…"

GUILT-RIDDEN FELLOW-TRAVELLERS

Such inanities are light years away from Winston Churchill's warning, over a century ago, that "no stronger retrograde force exists in the world" than Islam:

Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science-the science against which it had vainly struggled-the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

Even Churchill's prescience could not envisage the possibility that the invader would find his fellow-travellers at No. 10, Downing Street, at the European Union headquarters in Brussels, and in dozens of chancelleries and palaces across the Old Continent. Their joint efforts are helping change the face of Europe. The cumulative effect is not in doubt: by 2050, Muslims will account for over one-third of "Old Europe's" young residents. Millions of them already live in a parallel universe that has very little to do with the host country, toward which they have a disdainful and hostile attitude.

The elite class responds to such hostility with calls for ever-greater inclusiveness. Giuseppe Pisanu, Berlusconi's former minister of the interior, responsible for controlling the country's borders, thus declared five years ago that the high fatality rate of North African illegals on the high seas en route to Sicily was "a dreadful tragedy that weighs on the conscience of Europe." His view was paradigmatic of the utopian liberal mind-set. If "Europe" should feel shame and guilt that people who have no right to come to its shores are risking their lives while trying to do so illegally, then only the establishment of a free passenger-ferry service between Tripoli and Palermo-with no passport or customs formalities required upon arrival, and a free shuttle to Rome or Milan-would offer some relief to that burdened conscience. And Sr Pisanu is supposedly a man of the "Right"!

The tangible results of the leaders' moral decrepitude are devastating. A century ago, Sr. Pisanu and his class shared social commonalities that could be observed in Monte Carlo, Carlsbad, Biaritz or Paris, depending on the season. Englishmen, Russians, and Austrians shared the same outlook and sense of propriety, they all spoke French, but they nevertheless remained rooted in their national traditions, the permanent vessels in which Weltanschauung could be translated into Kultur. Today's "United Europe," by contrast, does not create social and civilizational commonalities except on the basis of wholesale denial of old mores, disdain for inherited values, and an overt rejection of "traditional" culture. It creates the dreary sameness of "antidiscriminationism" and "tolerance."

Such weakness breeds contempt and haughty arrogance on the other side. Take Tariq Ramadan, who calmly insists that Muslims in the West should conduct themselves as though they were already living in a Muslim-majority society and were exempt on that account from having to make concessions to the faith of the host-society. Muslims in Europe should feel entitled to live on their own terms, Ramadan says, while, "under the terms of Western liberal tolerance," society as a whole should be "obliged to respect that choice."

If such "respect" continues to be extended by the elite class, by the end of this century there will be no "Europeans" as members of ethnic groups that share the same language, culture, history, and ancestors, and inhabit lands associated with their names. The shrinking native populations will be indoctrinated into believing-or else simply forced into accepting-that the demographic shift in favor of unassimilable and hostile aliens is actually a blessing that enriches their culturally deprived and morally unsustainable societies. The "liberal tolerance" and the accompanying "societal obligation" that Tariq Ramadan invokes thus become the tools of Western suicide. "No other race subscribes to these moral principles," Jean Raspail wrote a generation ago, "because they are weapons of self-annihilation." The weapons need to be discarded, and the upholders of those deadly "principles" removed from all positions of power and influence, if Europe is to survive.

THE PATHOLOGY OF THE ELITE CLASS

It is in the inability and unwillingness of the neoliberal elite class to confront the grave threat to our civilization that Western Europe and North America most tellingly certify that they share the same cultural chromosomes. In 1938 Hilaire Belloc wondered, "Will not perhaps the temporal power of Islam return and with it the menace of an armed Muhammadan world which will shake the dominion of Europeans-still nominally Christian-and reappear again as the prime enemy of our civilization?"

Seven decades later, the same traits of decrepitude are present in Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Canada, and the United States, including both the primary cause, which is the loss of religious faith, and several secondary ones. Topping the list is elite hostility to all forms of solidarity of the majority population based on shared historical memories, ancestors, and common culture; the consequences are predictable:

* the loss of a sense of place and history among Europeans and North Americans;
* rapid demographic decline, especially in Europe, unparalleled in history;
* rampant Third World (and in Europe, overwhelmingly Muslim) immigration;
* collapse of private and public manners, morals, and traditional commonalities;
* imposition of "diversity," "multiculturalism," "sensitivity"; and
* demonization and criminalization of any opposition to any of the above.

The end-result is the Westerners' loss of the sense of propriety over their lands. Before 1914, both the West and the Muslim world could define themselves against each other in a cultural sense. The neoliberal elite insists on casting aside any idea of a specifically "Western" geographic and cultural space that should be protected from those who do not belong to it and have no rightful claim to it. The elite insists that our countries belong to the whole world.

We face an elite consensus that de facto open immigration, multiculturalism, and the existence of a large Muslim diaspora within the Western world are to be treated as a fixed and immutable fact that must not be scrutinized. That consensus, I contend, is ideological in nature, flawed in logic, dogmatic in application, and disastrous in its results. It needs to be tested against evidence, and not against the alleged norms of acceptable public discourse imposed by those who do not know Islam, or else do not want us to know the truth about it.

In addition, a depraved mass culture and multiculturalist indoctrination in state schools and the mainstream media have already largely neutralized the sense of historical and cultural continuity among young West Europeans and North Americans. By contrast, the blend of soft porn and consumerism that targets every denizen of the Western world has not had the same effect on the Muslim diaspora in the West. The roll-call of Western-born and educated young Muslims supportive of terrorism confirms that failure.

The loss of a sense of place and history experienced by millions of Westerners follows the emergence of two sides of the same coin: a neoliberal post-national hyper-state in Europe and the neoconservative "benevolent global hegemony" in the U.S. epitomized by the demand for an ever-growing NATO. These two mindsets, seemingly at odds, are but two aspects of the same emerging globalized universe, two sides of the same coin. The neoliberals advocate multilateralism in the form of an emerging "international community" framed by the United Nations and adjudicated by the International Criminal Court (ICC), with the EU acting as an interim medium for transferring sovereign prerogatives to a supra-national body; the neocons prefer to be the only cop in town. Both share the same distaste for traditional, naturally evolving societies and cultures.

The revolutionary character of the multiculturalist project is revealed in the endless mantra of Race, Gender and Sexuality, the formula now elevated to the status of the post-modern Philosopher's Stone, the force that moves the linear historical process forward, towards the grand Gleichschaltung of nations, races, and cultures that will mark the end of history. Race, Gender and Sexuality have replaced the Proletariat as both the oppressed underclass (hence the cult of the non-white, non-male, non-heterosexual victimhood), and as the historically preordained agent of revolutionary change.

Classical Marxist political economy found the dynamics of revolution in the inevitable conflict between the owners of the means of production and the proletariat that has nothing to sell but its labor and nothing to lose but its chains. Latter-day Marxist revolutionaries go beyond dialectical materialism, however, by introducing a wholly metaphysical concept of victimhood and an array of associated special-rights claims that have worked such wonders for Islam all over the Western world. Majority populations of "old" Europe and America, in this insane but all-pervasive paradigm, are guilty of "oppression" by their very existence, and therefore must not protest the migratory deluge, let alone try to oppose it: that is "racism.".

The fruits are with us already. Gibbon could have had today's Antwerp or Malmo in mind, or Marseilles, or Huddersfield, when he wrote of Rome in decline, its masses morphing "into a vile and wretched populace." On present form, within a century the native Western majorities will melt away: "child-free" is a legitimate yuppie lifestyle term, on par with "fat-free" and "drug-free." But whereas the threat of extinction of an exotic tribal group in Borneo or Amazonia - let alone a species of spotted owl or sperm whale - would cause alarm and prompt activism among neoliberal elites, it is deemed inherently racist to mention the fact that Europeans and their trans-Atlantic cousins are, literally, endangered species.

There will be no grand synthesis, no civilizational cross-fertilization, between the West and Islam. Even the ultra-tolerant Dutch are beginning to see the light, pace Geert Wilders, but they are hamstrung by guilt-ridden self-haters and appeasers, whose hold on the political power, the media, and the academe is undemocratic, unnatural, and obscene. If Europe is to survive they need to be unmasked for what they are: traitors to their nations and their culture. They must be replaced by people ready and willing to subject the issues of immigration and identity to the test of democracy, unhindered by administrative or judicial fiat.

If the coming war against jihad is to be won, the first task is to start talking frankly about the identity and character of the enemy and the nature of the threat. The obligation to do so is dictated by morality no less than by the need for self-preservation. "If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles," says Sun Tzu. Well, we know the enemy. We know his core beliefs, his role models, his track-record, his mindset, his modus operandi, and his intentions. We also know his weaknesses, which are many, above all his inability to develop a prosperous economy or a functional, harmonious society.

The main problem is with ourselves; or, to be precise, with those among us who have the power to make policy and shape opinions, and who will reject and condemn our diagnosis. Having absorbed postmodernist relativism, certain only of uncertainty, devoid of any faith except the faith in their own infallibility, members of the Western neoliberal elite class treat the jihadist mindset as a problem that can and should be treated by treating causes external to Islam itself.

The result is a plethora of proposed "cures" that are as likely to succeed in making us safe from terrorism as snake oil is likely to cure leukemia.

Abroad, we are told, we need to address political and economic grievances of the Muslim impoverished masses, we need to spread democracy and free markets in the Muslim world, we need to invest more in public diplomacy. At home we need more tolerance, greater inclusiveness, less profiling, and a more determined outreach to the minorities that feel marginalized. The predictable failure of such cures leads to ever more pathological self-scrutiny and to ever more morbid self-doubt. This vicious circle must be broken.

BREAKING THE DEADLOCK

The deadlock on the Somme in 1916, or at Verdun a year later, could not be broken with the ideas and modus operandi of Messrs. Haig, Foch, Cadrona or Hindenburg. It could have been unlocked, however, had Lidell-Hart, de Gaulle, or Guderian held the old guard's ranks and positions. Winning a war demands "knowing the enemy and knowing oneself," of course, but it also demands "thinking outside the box." This cliché is apt: the magnitude of the threat demands radical responses that fall outside the cognitive parameters of the elite class.

Let us therefore start our specific policy recommendations with the complex and emotionally charged issue of "human rights" versus national security.

DEFINING ISLAMIC ACTIVISM - Instead of seeking a ban on all Muslim immigration right away, which is not a realistic goal at this moment, Western anti-jihadist activists should campaign for changes in immigration legislation of their home countries to include clauses that would exclude Islamic activists before they come, and have them deported if they are already infiltrated into the country.

This demand needs to be made acceptable and attractive to a wide cross-section of the electorate regardless of political and ideological preferences. Therefore it should be focused on the Islamic activists' threat to the neoliberal values themselves:

* Discrimination against other religions (with special emphasis on the rising European phenomenon of Islamic anti-Semitism), outlooks (inc. atheism) and lifestyles;
* Discrimination and violence against women (esp. wives and "disobedient" daughters);
* Discrimination and violence against homosexuals;
* Threats of violence in any form and for whatever alleged "offense" or "insult" (e.g. drawing cartoons, making documentaries, writing books);
* Apology or justification for all of the above.

It is essential to focus on the despicable acts themselves, and then drawing the direct line to the commands of Islam's scripture and its founder, rather than doing it in reverse, as some well-meaning but politically less astute anti-jihadist activists do.

This definition of Islamic activism would be a major step in the direction of denying actual or potential jihadists a foothold in Europe and the rest of the West. In the U.S. the broad model is provided by the old 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act (INA, the McCarran-Walter Act), mandating the exclusion or deportation of any alien who engaged or had purpose to engage in activities prejudicial to the public interest or subversive to national security. "Ideological" grounds for deportation were on the US statute books until 1990, when they were repealed by Congress. After the Russian revolution foreign communists were singled out for deportation. One night alone in January of 1920, more than 2,500 "alien radicals" were seized in thirty-three cities across the country and deported to their countries of origin.

DENYING CITIZENSHIP TO ISLAMIC ACTIVISTS -- I submit to you that all Western countries need laws that will treat any naturalized citizen's or legally resident alien's known adherence to an Islamist world outlook as excludable - on political, rather than "religious" grounds. It is politically feasible to articulate the demand that citizenship of a democratic Western country should be denied to all Islamic activists.

In the United States a foreigner who becomes naturalized has to declare, on oath, "that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic." A declaration of this kind, of not a solemn oath of allegiance, is expected from naturalized citizens in most European countries.

For a Muslim to declare all of the above in good faith, and especially that he accepts an "infidel," i.e. non-Muslim document or law as the source of his highest loyalty, is an act of apostasy par excellence, punishable by death under the Islamic law. The sharia, to a Muslim, is not an addition to the "secular" legal code with which it coexists; it is the only true code, the only basis of obligation. To be legitimate, all political power therefore must rest exclusively with those who enjoy Allah's authority on the basis of his revealed will - and for as long as they remain infidel, both Europe and America are illegitimate. So how can a self-avowedly devout Muslim take the oath, and expect the rest of us to believe that it was done in good faith? Because he is practicing taqiyya, the art of elaborate lying that was inaugurated by Muhammad to help destabilize and undermine non-Muslim communities almost ripe for a touch of Jihad. (Or else because he is not devout enough and confused, but in that case there is the ever-present danger that at some point he will rediscover his roots.)

AUXILLIARY MEASURES - Those who preach or promote jihad and advocate the introduction of sharia can and should be treated in exactly the same manner that adherents of other totalitarian ideologies had been treated in the free world during the Cold War. It will be a long and hard struggle to open the eyes of legislators and legal regulators that Islam itself is a radical, revolutionary ideology, inherently seditious and inimical to Western values and institutions, but it can be done. Other necessary measures would then follow, but to that end anti-jihadists should start articulating and advocating them now:

1. Seek zero porosity of the borders. Preventing illegal immigration is a desirable objective per se; in the context of stopping terrorists it is mandatory. No anti-jihadist strategy is possible without complete physical control of borders. This is an issue on which a majority of the electorate of each and every Western country will agree - much to the chagrin of the liberal elites. Anti-jihadists should insist that all illegal immigration is a major security threat and that it can and should be subject to the letter of the law, and not to the suicidal dictates of the "human rights" lobby.
   
2. Demand mandatory cooperation of state agencies at all levels in identifying, registering and apprehending illegal immigrants and in assisting in their deportation - starting with those from nations and groups at risk for terrorism. It is a curious phenomenon in most Western countries that at various levels of state administration (e.g. welfare officers and social workers) and law enforcement (e.g. police forces in major cities) we encounter varying levels of tolerance, and even encouragement, of illegal immigrants' continued presence in the community. Again, this demand for simple compliance with the law by tax-funded public officers would be politically popular.
   
3. Discard the irrational ban on "profiling." Not all Muslims are terrorists, of course, but all transnational terrorist networks that threaten Western countries' national security and way of life are composed of Muslims. It is time to accept that "profiling" based on a person's appearance, origin, and apparent or suspected beliefs is an essential tool of trade of law enforcement and war on terrorism. Just ask the Israelis!
   
4. Subject the work of Islamic centers to legal limitations and security supervision. All over the Western world, Islamic centers have provided platforms for exhortations to the faithful to support causes and to engage in acts that are morally reprehensible, legally punishable, and detrimental to the host country's national security. They have provided shelter to the outlaws, and offered recruitment to the leaders.
   
5. Treat affiliation with Islamic activism as grounds for denial or revoking of any level of security clearance. Such affiliation is incompatible with the requirements of personal commitment, patriotic loyalty and unquestionable reliability that are essential in the military, law enforcement, intelligence services, and other related branches of government (e.g. immigration control, airport security). Presence of practicing Muslims in any of these institutions would present an inherent risk to its integrity and would undermine morale.

Acceptance of these proposals would represent a new start in devising long-term defense. The proposed measures recognize that we are in a war of ideas and religion, whether we want that or not and however much we hate the fact. They reflect the seriousness of the struggle. This war is being fought, on the Islamic side, with the deep condition that the West is on its last legs. The success of its demographic onslaught on Europe enhances the image of "a candy store with the busted lock," and that view is reinforced by the evidence from history that a civilization that loses the urge for self-perpetuation is indeed in peril.

CAN THE CANDY STORE WITH A BUSTED LOCK BE SAVED?

The above proposals are not only pragmatic, they are morally just. They will elicit the accusation of "discrimination" from the self-hating segments of the elite class, even though no such label is applicable. Targeting people for screening, supervision and exclusion on the basis of their genes would be discriminatory indeed, but doing so because of their beliefs, ideas, actions, and intentions is justified and necessary. Orthodox Islamic beliefs, ideas and intentions as such pose a threat to the European civilization, culture, and way of life.

The elite class rejects this diagnosis, of course, but among reasonable, well-informed citizens the debate must be conducted on terms liberated from the shackles of the elite class. Geert Wilders certainly shows the way. We should act accordingly, and never, ever be afraid of causing controversy. That means being subjected to the threat of legal proceedings by the neoliberal state - or to the threat of death, by those whom the neoliberal state continues to protect to the detriment of its own citizens.

Western leaders did not agonize over communism's "true" nature during the Berlin air lift in 1949, or in Korea in 1950, but acted effectively to contain it by whatever means necessary. Yes, back then we had a legion of Moscow's apologists, character witnesses, moles and fellow-travelers, assuring us that the Comrades want nothing but social justice at home and peaceful coexistence abroad. They held tenured chairs at prestigious universities and dominated all smart salons, from London and Paris to New York. They explained away and justified the inconsistencies and horrifyingly violent implications of the source texts of Marx and Lenin. They explained away and justified the appalling fruits: the bloodbath of the Revolution, the genocidal great famine, the show trials and purges, the killing of millions of innocents in the Gulag, the pact with Hitler, the works.

Today their spiritual heirs in politics, the academy and the media establishment act as Islam's apologists, character witnesses and fellow travelers. They flatly deny or else explain away, with identical scholastic sophistry and moral depravity, the dark and violent implications of the source texts, the Kuran and the Hadith, the deeply unnerving career of Muhammad, and centuries of conquests, wars, slaughters, subjugation, decline without fall, spiritual and material misery, and murderous fanaticism.

NIL DESPERANDUM!

Some eighty years ago Julien Benda published his tirade against the intellectual corruption of his times, The treason of the intellectuals. For generations prior to the 20th century, Benda wrote, members of the Western intellectual elite ensured that "humanity did evil, but honored good." The "Treason" of the title occurred when they gave up promoting lasting civilizational values in favor of short-term political preferences. Benda wrote at a time when fascism, nazism and bolshevism dominated Europe's scene. Today the "treason" of the elite class takes a different form. It upholds the allegedly universal values of multiculturalism, inclusiveness and antidiscriminationism to the detriment of the particular value of our civilization and all its fruits.

The propensity of the elite class to the betrayal of our culture remains the same, however.

The fact that normal people don't realize the magnitude of the problem works to the advantage of the people like Solana, Soros, Blair, Prodi, or Hillary Clinton. Their ideas, which but two generations ago would have been deemed eccentric or insane, now rule the Euro-American mainstream. Only a society inured to the concept of open borders can be unblinkingly told that Islam is good and tolerant, that "we" (the West) have been nasty and unkind to it over the centuries - remember the Crusades! - and that "terrorism" needs to be understood, and cured, by social therapy that is independent of Islam's teaching and practice.

At the root of the domestic malaise is the notion that countries do not belong to the people who have inhabited them for generations, but to whoever happens to be within their boundaries at any given moment in time - regardless of his culture, attitude, or intentions. The resulting random melange of mutually disconnected multitudes is supposed to be a blessing that enriches an otherwise arid and monotonous society.

A further pernicious fallacy is the dictum that we should not feel a special bond for any particular country, nation, race, or culture, but transfer our preferences on the whole world, "the Humanity," equally. Such notions have been internalized by the elite class in America and Western Europe to the point where they actively help Islamic terrorism. In America the process has been under way for decades. By 1999 then-Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott felt ready to declare that the United States may not exist "in its current form" in the 21st century, because the very concept of nationhood - here and throughout the world - will have been rendered obsolete.

A generation earlier such uttering from a senior government official would have caused a scandal. By the end of the 20th century such declarations bothered only the unsophisticates who persist in assuming that the purpose of what Dr. Talbott was doing at the Department of State was to ensure the survival, security and prosperity of the United States within the international system, rather than its eventual absorption by the system. But his was an exultant prophecy, not an impartial assessment. The ideological foundation for Talbott's beliefs was stated bluntly: "All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary." To the members of his class, all countries are but transient, virtual-reality entities. Owing emotional allegiance to any one of them is irrational, and risking one's life for its sake is absurd.

The refusal of theWestern elite class to protect their nations from jihadist infiltration is the biggest betrayal in history. It is rooted in the mindset that breeds the claim that "force is not an answer" to terrorism, that profiling is bad and open borders are good, that "true" Islam is peaceful and the West is wicked. The upholders of such claims belong to the culture that has lost its bond with nature, history, and the supporting community. In the meantime, thanks to them, the quiet onslaught continues unabated, across the Straits of Gibraltar, through JFK and O'Hare, Heathrow and Schiphol. Far from enhancing diversity, it threatens to impose a numbing sameness and eradicate the identity of target-populations, to demolish their special character and uniqueness.

That supporting community, the real nation, is still out there, in North America and Europe alike, working and paying taxes and grinning and bearing it. When it is told of Islam's "peace and tolerance," it grumbles about someone's stupidity or ineptitude, but it still does not suspect outright betrayal. The betrayers, meanwhile, promote an ideology of universal human values, of a common culture for the whole world. They may not even realize why they abet Islam. For all the outward differences, they share with the mullahs and sheikhs and imams the desire for a monistic One World. They both long for Talbot's Single Global Authority, post-national and seamlessly standardized, an Ummah under a fancy secular name.

Those Americans and Europeans who love their lands and nations more than any others, and who put their families and their neighborhoods before all others, are normal people. Those who tell them that their attachments should be global and that their lands and neighborhoods belong to the whole world are sick and evil. They are our enemies and jihad's indispensable objective allies.

The elite class, rootless, arrogant, cynically manipulative, has every intention of continuing to "fight" the war on terrorism without naming the enemy, without revealing his beliefs, without unmasking his intentions, without offending his accomplices, without expelling his fifth columnists, and without ever daring to win.

It is up to the millions of normal Europeans and their American cousins to stop the madness. The traitor class wants them to share its death wish, to self-annihilate as people with a historical memory and a cultural identity, and to make room for the post-human, monistic Utopia spearheaded by the jihadist fifth column.

This crime can and must be stopped. The founders of the United States overthrew the colonial government for offenses far lighter than those of which the traitor class is guilty.

I have, previously, expressed the helplessness that comes from seeing what is happening to our country and not knowing what I, personally, can do about it. I think a lot of us have the same feelings. There really is nothing that one individual has within his ability that can influence the people who hold sway to stop the causes of ruin and apathy which are the ruin of our great nation.

I have, though, realized that we bloggers at Town Hall, even in our meager numbers, have one ability we can call upon that just might be able to negate the effect of the evil being done. What is it that we can do? Simple really. We can refuse to abide by these dictates being issued by various authorities that are so clearly designed to placate the enemies we face. I’m not saying, necessarily, that we break any laws, for, up to this point no laws have been made to that end. But there have been opinions published and guidelines submitted that, if allowed to become reality, would lead us straight and willingly to destruction.

Some bloggers, as we can easily see, have instinctively adopted this tactic as a natural reflex to the threat they have perceived. You can easily recognize these patriotic wordsmiths by their indignant, and fabulously vindictive railings against these who have chosen confrontation with us. You know who they are. We all comment as to our agreement with them and their patriotic stance.

To further describe the directives I am talking to, a case in point: A recent press release by the Dept. of Homeland Security stated that it would be to our advantage if government agencies would refrain from referring to Muslims, Islam, or Jihad, as being associated with terrorism or radical extreme philosophies. This was decided after enlisting the consultation of two radical, extremist Islamic groups infamous as being supporters and financial contributors to Al Quaeda, Hamas, the PLO, and various other Islamic terror organizations. There was a complete list of terms the Muslim advocacy groups considered disrespectful and insulting that they wanted the government of the USA and their citizens to quit using.

Another case relative to my point is the UN’s Council on Human Rights, the recent replacement for the UN Human Rights Commission, and their latest adoption of what they call an "Output Document of Norm". This is a statement issued by a council or committee when they do not have the support required to pass a resolution on the matter if voted on, but still insist on pushing their agenda down the world’s throat. The latest "Norm" was almost identical in content as the policy statement issued by the DHS I referred to above. It basically stated that the UN Council on Human Rights saw a benefit to the people of the world and their right to basic human liberties by their cessation of the use of inflammatory terminology being used in reference to or directed at Muslims or the religion of Islam. They went so far as to say that the right to freedom of expression and religion might have to be redefined in order to assure the right of Islam to not be discriminated against. They then gave the same list of terms to be avoided that was published by the DHS above.

Talk about audacity. Talk about human rights violations. The UN has, for its entire existance, has sought to rid the world of the United States and its most loyal ally Israel, and render the influence and power of these nations for the rights of all people of the world nonexistant, or, at the least, impotent. This subservience to the Muslim states and their crusade to enslave the world in the name of their god is abhorent and devoid of any semblence to protection of freedom or rights of the people of the world.

We can resist and make a real difference by following the example of Gunny, On The Right, sr8t talk, and other fearless bloggers here at TH and not comply or be intimidated by their shameless and evil demands. We can endeavor to convince others to likewise refuse to comply with these directives, or whatever they are. And we shan’t be timid in our defiance either. Instead, we need to blog this subject into shame by posting a defiant blog everytime we see a new attempt to steal our freedoms. We need to insure that all of those we contact and network with are both aware and resistant to the ideals of and the insistance on compliance to these cowardly surrenderings to the evil of Islamofascists and the Muslim terrorists who allow its influence to decay their humanity.

This is something anyone can do. It doesn’t take a great deal of time or energy, and it is relatively free of the threat of any real reprisals. What it does require is a modicam of patriotism and a sense of desire to help keep ourselves free of tyranny. It also, by definition, requires the use of terms such as Islamofascism, Muslim terrorists, Islamic Jihad extremists, Jihadi murderers, etc., (be creative) whenever we address those we know of being the enemy. This is no comparison to the sacrifices our armed forces are making, and it definitely will not be seen by anyone as being of tremendous effect. But it is better than doing nothing, and, believe it or not, it eases the pain of helplessness in not being able to do anything at all. In fact….

this could be as much fun as Rush’s Operation Chaos.

• Jihad literally translates to "My Struggle". So do the words "Mein Kampf"
• innocent = Islam, Muslims, and believers, all else are guilty.
• evil = Anything not Islamic or Muslim. Includes any and everything else in the world.
• peace = A condition where all are at one with Alla. There can be no peace without Alla.
• aggression - Does not include action taken to punish non-believers as this divine. Otherwise, it is any act taken against Islam to hinder or stop the observance or propagation of Islam or bring harm to the believers.
• Anti-Islam scheme = Anything that hinders or prevents the exercise of Islamic law, such as putting up a defense against military action defined as Jihad. Synonomous with aggression.
• Islam teaches there is only one true religion and it is to be propagated to the entire world. Whenever they say "follow Alla’s teachings" or "obey Him" etc, they mean to spread Islam. It is divinely ordered and MUST be done.
• Only Muslims can be opressed. Non-believers who are experiencing Jihad against them are not opressed as it is for you to become free of the world and a slave to Alla.

Do you see the trend here? It is the same "theology" Al Qaeda believes, the same Jihad, the same "we are the only true religion" religion. Read carefully, see how they feed us the same death sentence. This is the difference in radical and moderate Muslims, the moderates try a lot harder to convert you before they take off your head.

Response by Scholar:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear questioner,

Thanks for your question, and we implore Allah to help us serve the cause of Islam and to render this work for His Sake.

Actually, as it has been clarified again and again that while Jihad serves as a means of defense for Muslims against aggression, and acts as a deterrent factor against any anti-Islam scheme launched by enemies, it must never be construed as something synonymous with aggression.

Jihad is never a tool of waging war against the innocents; it's never a means of flexing muscles or bullying the weak and oppressed. Jihad in Islam is something unique, established to defend the divine message from being eliminated or hindered by its enemies.

Shedding more light on the true concept of Jihad, here is the statement made by Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, president of the Fiqh Council ofNorth America, states:

Allah says, "And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive with sincerity and under discipline. He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the religion of your father Abraham. It is He, Allah, Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and you be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector, the best to protect and the Best to help!" (Al-Hajj 22: 78)

Jihad is one of the most misunderstood, and abused aspects of Islam. There are some Muslims who exploit and misuse this concept for their own political objectives. There are many non-Muslims who misunderstand it. There are some non-Muslims who misinterpret it to discredit Islam and Muslims.

The word Jihad does not mean "Holy War". It means "struggle" or "striving". The word for war in the Qur’an is "Harb" or "Qital". Jihad means serious and sincere struggle on the personal as well as on the social level. It is a struggle to do good and to remove injustice, oppression and evil from the society. This struggle should be spiritual as well as social, economic and political. Jihad is to work hard to do right things. In the Qur’an this word is used in its different forms 33 times. It often comes with other Qur’anic concepts such as faith, repentance, righteous deeds and migration.

Jihad is to protect one’s faith and one’s human rights. Jihad is not a war always although it can take the form of war. Islam is the religion of peace, but it does not mean that Islam accepts oppression. Islam teaches that one should do one’s utmost to eliminate tension and conflict. Islam promotes non-violent means to bring change and reform. Actually, Islam urges that one should eliminate evil through peaceful means without the use of force as much as possible. In Islamic history from the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until now, Muslims most of the time resisted oppression and struggled for liberation in non-violent and peaceful manners.

Islam teaches proper ethics in the situation of war also. The war is permissible in Islam, but only when other peaceful means such as dialogue, negotiations and treaties fail. It is a last resort and should be avoided as much as possible. Its purpose is not to convert people by force, or to colonize people or to acquire land or wealth or for self-glory. Its purpose is basically: defense of life, property, land, honor and freedom for oneself as well as defense of others from injustice and oppression.

1. Be strong so that your enemy fear you and should not attack you.
2. Do not begin the hostilities. Work for peace as much as possible.
3. Fight only those who fight, no collective punishment; non-combatants should not be harmed. Weapons of mass destruction should not be used.
4. Stop hostilities as soon as the other party is inclined to peace.
5. Observe the treaties and agreements as long as the enemy observes them.

Allah says very clearly: (Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not do aggression, for Allah loves not the aggressors.) (Al-Baqarah 2: 190)

It is well accepted that Western culture is the target of a radical, Islamofascist society that seeks to dominate the people of the world and make them subjects to Islam and sharia law which has as its head the prophet Muhammad and their god, Alla. We in the west have always believed that it was the religion of Islam that was the reason for the animosity they felt for us. While that is a valid assesment, the reasoning most responsible for their violent nature and the zeal with which they wage jihad is the tribal society and culture that has been their way of life everyday for 3000 plus years. In all those centuries, very little has changed except the study of that culture by outside observers who, in the recent past, has effectively written them off as old news, finding newer, more lucritive studies to pursue.

The culture of the tribal sysytem was once well understood and revered at once as remarkable in its complexity of tradition and simplistic for lack of formal power structure. A society that has evolved in vast empty expanses over centuries, tribalism has elements of both democratic and socialist society. It has been this tribal society’s rituals of feuding, vigilanty justice, family dependencies, democratic problem solving, and rural existance that has molded the attitude of the tribal members. Islam would not be a factor for the first fifteen hundred years and is more likely to have been fashioned for these desert people by to comply with the standing culture than to be a major social change.

It was this prevailing tribal culture that Phillip Carl Saltzman rediscovered, studied, and understood that lead to his writing "Culture and Conflict in the Middle East" pub. Humanity Books. A summary of the message offered in the book can enlighten those who find themselves under attack by Islamic jihad in a way that can give them an understanding of the enemy that might be of use in their defense. It is worth the read if for no other reason.

Sparsity is the name of the game in the middle eastern deserts. Large cities are few and very far between and do not have the resources necessary to support large populations of citizens. Nomadic tribes have preferred the sands and the freedom from rulers the desert provides. The resulting seperation from the law and religious authorities has created a feuding, threatening, clan/tribal form of society where immediate and some extended family is the basis for a sort of democratic anarchist socialism.

Having no immediate authority to settle disputes and protect property and life, a system of constant tension caused by threat of violent feud as reprisal for misbehavior has served to provide a fairly close knit, well behaved form of self rule. Any decisions that affect the tribe, which is essentially familial in make up, are discussed and argued with every man having his rightful say on the matter. A course of action is agreed upon and becomes a law.

To insure the tribe obeys the members adapt an aggressive attitude toward their neighbor and other tribal members with feigned actions of threat and agression and it becomes common knowledge that he will fight anyone who violates his respect of and obediance to the law or custom. Therefore through threat and intimidation tension becomes the normal mode of life in within the tribe. Public acts of provocation and intimidation become a tradition of ceremony and is understood as a statement of attitude, but is not seen as a overt act requiring reprisal.

When compared to society which employs central authority such as police and courts, normally at ease without tension between neighbors, this tribal tension appears threatening and evokes a perceived need for defensive reaction. The lack of a return gesture of agression would be seen by the tribe as a sign of weakness in that they expect and receive such from fellow tribe members. That is the way they think. Intimidate, receive a mutual act of intimidation, both are honorable, life goes on.

An example of this would go like so…

Abjil has labored a week to find and harvest a good supply of palm trunks for making water containers and has stored them in public view in front of his dwelling for the sake of convenience. When he awakes one morning and they are gone he immediately goes to his brother, cousin, and son-in-law to enlist their support. The group, brandishing clubs and knives enters and searches the dwellings of other tribe families. The members allow this because, first, they do not usually have the force necessary to prevent them from doing so, and second, because it is understood that this happens for reasons deemed acceptible by the tribe in whole. All had agreed that such searches are necessary and that anyone objecting is suspected to be the guilty party.

The missing palm trunks are found in plain sight at Jalil’s dwelling and they are seized and Jalil dragged out into the public area and made to cower and explain the reason he had the palm trunks and they were not with their rightful owner. If Jalil’s explanation sounds sincere and is deemed reasonable and acceptable, he is allowed to return to his business without any apology or sign of thanks. That would be a sign of weakness on the part of Abjil. Jalil is allowed to keep both hands where they are. Abjil is seen as being a righteous man and is revered for his sense of justice. But, if Jalil hesitates as in trying to fabricate an excuse for theft, Abjil is fully justified in dealing out what reprimand he deems worthy, including execution or amputation of the offending limb.

Might is right and just as roosters strut and put on the act of domination in the barnyard, tribal members make much to do of their ability to raise support and actively pursue those who violate his integrity. As a sign of this display of readiness for action, while returning to his dwelling, Abjil again acts out the feigned violence on those who are present in the area as a show of his victory. Intimidation, gang action, and readiness to use force are the tribal form of crime deterence.

Addressing and mutually agreeing to individual rights to property, the pursuit of individual pleasures, and the right to have a voice in tribal matters, plus the use of socialist methods of producing and distributing wealth, plus vigilante tactics employed in maintaining peace and preventing crime, all act to form a primitive, unique, and sufficient form of organized anarchy.

This should give us outsiders an understanding, though not an approval, of all the threats, marches, and demostrations we all see and are intimidated by. That is their purpose. The problem they have with us is compounded with the fact that they do not see any reciprocal act to declare our honor, and that we consider the threatening acts as serious and deserving of a pre-emptory act of overwhelming power. This is not to say that they don’t mean us harm, as they most certainly intend to murder us all if we don’t convert to Islam. It is an explanation, though, that explains the constant rants we see and could serve as some small verification to us that they are just being what they have been for thousands of years. Nomadic, violent desert tribesmen who make a big show of everything.

The United Nations was founded on many of the principals our Constitution guarantees for the people of our nation. Issues such as human rights, sovereignty, crime, war, and religion were addressed and, for the most part, the UN charter was compatible with and supportive of those rights and sought to bring those and other rights to all the world.

But in the six decades since its inception, the UN has failed, in almost every way, to affect any real improvement in the treatment of human beings world wide, or to achieve peace between any rivals. Its actions have, time after time, been intentionally biased in favor of the non-free nations and their efforts to remain non-free. Instead of promoting resolutions that would increase human rights and end conflict in the world, the UN has sided with nations that are documented as being the elite in violating the rights of their people and promoting world conflict through intimidation and agression. The resolutions passed, the councils created and their actions, the advancement of rogue administrators, and the corruption of top officials all serve as visible, public evidence that the UN is not about the work of uniting nations but is pursuing U tter N onsense.

The two links below are are to articles documenting the attempt by the UN to weaken and then eliminate the right to freedom of speech from the people of the world and to destroy the soverignty of the USA. Take a moment or two and see what the UN has in store for freedom and peace in the world.
