Meaning, as I wrote, do we fundamentally have Islam wrong?
I think we do.
Are so-called “Islamists” in the majority or are so-called “moderates”?
Let’s watch:
Any conclusions one can draw? Something similar to my core phrase, “Islam is as Islam does”?
Clearly, yes. Over 50% of Muslims on the planet are not “moderate” but are in fact radical. This goes against the meme of the “good moderate and peaceful Muslim.”
“Moderate Muslims” are, frankly, a statistical myth. Thank you, Ben Shapiro.

Absolutely correct.
Western civilization and nations have Islam completely wrong, as Islam has been telling you for quite some time.
It isn’t Islamists that aren’t following the Quran.
It’s so-called “moderate Muslims.”
Ponder that for a moment.
Then read “Why Islam Creates Monsters.”

The following may well be the most insightful, thought-provoking and illuminating article you will read this year. And it answers so many questions asked by so many people — yet — will likely be predominantly unread by the very groups of persons who most need its information.
Please, take the ten or fifteen minutes it requires to completely read the article. At the end, you will come to understand the various aspects of Islam and how they meld into the religion (not really just a religion) and are applied by its adherents around the planet, and not just the Middle East.
The article, by Danish psychologist Nicolai Sennels, is entitled “Why Islam Creates Monsters” and provides an examination of Islam not from a political viewpoint, but that of a psychiatric and cultural background.
An excellent Q&A with Sennels is here — as well as his article “Muslims and Westerners: The Psychological Differences” — both being highly recommended reading.
Please read all three and you’ll be provided answers to questions you’ve been asking yourself recently. Questions Leftists and our president aren’t asking and apparently don’t wish to pose. Perhaps with fear of the answers themselves?
And you’ll come to understand my viewpoint on Islam as well.

This is, perhaps, the most important post I’ve made to date.
On any number of levels, from any number of GOWP sources, we are constantly barraged by the Leftist meme that violent Islamist individuals and groups who carry out bombings, killings, beheadings, spilling blood in the name of Islam, are the exception and not the rule.
..اسلام به عنوسلام به عنوان اسلام می کند
I said a number of years ago and say now: “Islam IS as Islam DOES.” Nothing more complicated or cerebral than that. To excuse Islam from actions carried out in its name excuses over a thousand years of bloodshed and unnecessary deaths on behalf of a barbarous religion that is unmatched in its ferocity via any other religion on the planet.
Islam isn’t “gray” and it isn’t “nuanced” and it isn’t “subtle.” Islam will and does tell you precisely what it wants day after day after day. And we, the various Western nations, are not listening.
Worse yet, we are choosing not to listen.
“Those who make all Islam their enemy not only succumb to a simplistic and essentialist illusion but they lack any mechanism to defeat it.”
An incredibly simplistic statement in and among itself, promulgated by Leftists.
Most lawful citizens of Western nations are good people. They want to believe in the inherent goodness of people. They want to see the proverbial glass as half full, as opposed to half empty. They want to believe that most issues can be solved with good will, communication, positive intent and low voices.
With the exception of Islam. Which has proven over the past thousand + years that it cannot be reasoned with, it cannot be corrupted, it cannot be subsumed, it cannot be modulated and it cannot be ignored.
Please listen to Colonel Allen West as he happens to nail Islam precisely, and names it for what it is:
Sadly, Allen West refutes feelings and emotions with nothing but solid facts and history and knowledge. To the detriment of Leftists and Muslims and Muslim-apologists.
It really is this simple: Islam is as Islam does.
Islam is a cancer. The problem to date: there is no chemo for Islam.

For background, please see my post here, in which Duke University on Wednesday okayed a weekly Muslim call to prayer, termed an adhan, from the Duke chapel tower. This was done in order to continue “norming” Islam across America and to favor it over other religions.
Now, apparently, the tide has turned.
From FoxNews.com:
by Todd Starnes
Duke University has abandoned its plan to transform the bell tower on the Methodist school’s neo-gothic cathedral into a minaret where the Muslim call to prayer was to be publicly broadcast.
“Duke remains committed to fostering an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming campus for all of its students,” university spokesman Michael Schoenfeld said in a statement. “However, it was clear that what was conceived as an effort to unify was not having the intended effect.”
Why, do you suppose?
Because it made Duke look like the GOWP pandering, pablum-supping fools they are — and because the issue became plastered all over the Blogosphere and social media, ably abetted by your humble servant.
You’re welcome.
