women throughout history, see the author's new book, Sword
and Scimitar.)
Right
from the start, violent jihad served as the engine of Islam under the command
and supervision of Muhammad himself. To understand how quickly Islam
spread around the world, we must see the timeline of Islam.
After
Muhammad's death in 632 A.D., his friend Abu Bakr was named caliph and
ruler of the Islamic community, or Ummah. Muhammad's followers in a
short time occupied a vast geographic area; conversion to Islam was
heightened by Islamic missionaries, who intermingled with local
populations to promulgate the Islamic teachings. It
resulted in Islam's spread outward from Mecca toward both
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the creation of the
Muslim world.
In
no time at all, Islam spread like a pandemic. Once it attacked the
mind of its victims, this debilitating disease was capable of transforming them
into helpless pawns that had no choice but to execute what they were directed
to do.
Here
is the truth, as bitter as it may be. Islam is the
culprit. Islam is anything but a religion of
peace. Violence is at the core of Islam. Violence is
institutionalized in the Muslim's holy book, the Qur'an, in many verses:
Qur'an:
9:5: "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them
captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of
war."
Qur'an:
9:112: "The Believers fight in Allah's cause; they slay and are slain,
kill and are killed."
Qur'an:
8:39: "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief
[non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole
world)."
Qur'an:
8:65: "O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are
twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there
are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels
are a people devoid of understanding."
Qur'an:
9:38: "Believers, what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to
go forth and fight in Allah's Cause you cling to the earth? Do you
prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? Unless you go forth,
He will afflict and punish you with a painful doom, and put others in your
place."
That's
what the Qur'an commands the believer repeatedly – to make jihad on
even the people of the book, Jews and
Christians. Islam essentially invented
the idea that Christians, Jews, and pagans are an abomination and offensive to
Allah and that their very existence represents an attack upon the self-defined
Islamic right to reign over the world. Allah thus enlists Muslim
believers to eradicate by force those who offend him and, by disbelieving,
prevent his rule. True Muslim believers therefore become the
enforcers, hit men and mercenaries for their god, in order to establish a
global caliphate for their parasitic clergy. Their targets are
artificially constructed adversaries.
Muslim
believers hence are instructed to fear the "great Satan" and are told
that if they do not live up to Allah's calls to jihad, they themselves are
offensive to Allah and to their families.
Now,
the only question that remains is the extent of a Muslim's obedience to the
Qur'an and the Sunna, the life examples of Muhammad. To be sure, a
great many Muslims are not following the dictates of the Qur'an verbatim, as
they should, since they consider it to be the literal immutable perfect words
of Allah.
Furthermore,
nowhere do I say all Muslims believe in shedding the blood of
others. Yet the commandments of the Qur'an to believers are clear
and emphatic. It is for this reason that an innumerable number of
Muslims do engage in jihad and suicide volunteers vie
with one another to offer their services to their handler leaders.
A
true Muslim does not and cannot believe in freedom of choice. In the
religion of Islam – Submission – everything is up to Allah, as clearly and
repeatedly stipulated in the Qur'an. The raison
d'être for the Muslim is to be unconditionally submissive to the will
and dictates of Allah. Everything a "good" Muslim does is
contingent upon the will and decree of Allah, he is indoctrinated to believe.
To
cut to the chase, we need to eliminate some disinformation and myths about the
"war on terror." We are not fighting
terrorism. We are engaging in an ideological battle between freedom,
conservatism, democracy, individual rights, capitalism, and
"Christian" ethics and Islamofascism, communism-socialism, theocracy,
and tyranny.
There
are also internationalist, dictatorial, globalist forces that seek to use the
conflict to create an international government and the unification of all
religions by the destruction of nationalism, patriotism, individual rights, and
sectarianism.
It
is not "fanatical," "radical," or "extreme" Islam
that we are fighting, but normal, orthodox, canonical, typical, accepted,
traditional Islam, straight from the mouth of Muhammad. Islam is
violent in direct proportion to its mission and scripture. The
so-called fanatics and terrorists are only upholding the truth of their
principles.
In
short: We must begin to declare Islam evil, not from a sectarian perspective,
but from a universal, humanist one. Every encroachment of Islam as a
religion must be rejected and discouraged by all people
everywhere. Any leftist who attempts to give aid and comfort to this
religion of hate must be denounced and frustrated at every
turn. Otherwise, get used to your radioactive suit and your fallout
shelter, a standard of living – and a level of freedom – one tenth of what you
have today.
The Islamist Terrorist as
Psychopath
There are basic interrelated questions
that any student of human history must ask. Why is human history filled with so
much evil, and why do good people so often do nothing in the face of evil?
The answer that he comes up with in Jihadist
Psychopath is a collusion that is not born only of simple radicalism,
but of the ways in which Islamic political movements play on our own emotional
weaknesses.
Jihadist Psychopath is a journey into the dark heart of
the Western world using the metaphor of the interplay between the psychopath
and his victims. That metaphor pervades Glazov’s text, structuring his
understanding of the growing terror death toll and the accompanying sympathy
for the terrorists.
Glazov, who has a BA in Political Science
and a PhD in History, had already made a study of Islamic terrorists. To
prepare for the writing of Jihadist Psychopath, he also made a
study of the most fascinating and deadliest element in the criminal life of
societies: the psychopath. Human societies are bound together by empathy.
Multiculturalism and diversity stretch and expand our sense of empathy to its
limits. The psychopath plays on our sense of empathy despite lacking any
empathy of his or her own.
That paradox makes
the psychopath extremely curious and deadly. Like a cuckoo bird, the psychopath
has evolved to exploit a biological loophole, empathy, meant to bind a species
together around shared interests, without the biological commitment to those
interests, creating a predator that is facile and adept, as Glazov’s title puts
it, at “charming, seducing and devouring us”.
The uses and abuses of empathy by the
psychopath and the Islamic terrorist are a major focus of Jihadist
Psychopath. Islamic terrorists take advantage of the empathy bonds that
multicultural societies use to bind diverse populations together into a single
functional entity whose members cooperate and even sacrifice for the benefit of
the group, without ever sharing in that sense of mutual responsibility.
Like psychopaths, Glazov argues, Islamic
terrorists create the illusion of a mutual relationship while viciously
exploiting and eventually destroying their victims by degrees. These victims
can be the individuals, the women who marry Islamic terrorists only to be used
by them to obtain legal status or to birth new Jihadists, but they are the
microcosm of our larger society which is also being charmed, seduced, and
destroyed by an ideology that turns our own values and our sense of self against
us.
“Once he succeeds in lodging his hooks
into his target’s body, he inflicts the key wound, convincing him that he (the
victim) is the actual offender and guilty party, and that the psychopath is the
actual victim,” Glazov writes.
The exchange of roles between perpetrator
and victim is crucial to the predation of weaker societies on stronger
societies. As predatory plants mimic the appearance of the prey of their
victims, the Jihadist appears to resemble a victim of Western civilization, of
colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism, turning guilt and grief into the
aphrodisiac of his monstrous appetite, before entrapping his civilizational
victim.
Victimhood is the protective coloration of
the psychopathic predator, both in his familiar role as the demon haunting a
thousand crime stories, thrillers, and action movies, and the less familiar
guise of CAIR, ISNA, and countless other Muslim Brotherhood front groups who
defend the predation of terrorists by reinventing them as the victims of the
very people whom they are killing and destroying.
And yes, the victims are neither truly
helpless nor innocent. As the con artist exploits greed, the psychopath’s
swollen sense of self-regard feeds upon the narcissism of his victims.
As Glazov notes in Jihadist Psychopath,
“It is crucial to emphasize that many victims in the con game possess a
tremendous narcissism, since in needing to believe that they are part of the
script and can actually change it, they incubate a pathological and
self-destructive ego.”
The boundless narcissism of the Left,
which convinces its true believers that their beverage choices and their menu
options can save or destroy the planet, that even their pettiest actions and
emotional states are deeply meaningful signifiers of great and terrible changes
in the world, makes it absurdly easy for the Islamist psychopath, who offers
the illusion of saving them and himself, to hook them on his line.
The Left hungers for victims to justify
its inflated sense of self-importance and its greed for power. Islamists
exploit their messianic delusions by playing the victims in need of rescuing.
The Islamist psychopath validates the twisted psychology of his radical victims
only to destroy his rescuers.
This same psychodrama has played out in
Iran, in Egypt, in the United Kingdom, and the United States. When the
alliances unravel, as they finally must, the socialist utopia instead becomes
the caliphate.
Jihadist Psychopath is an invaluable resource for
understanding and coming to grips with the human drama behind the headlines and
the radical emotions behind the radical march of political events. It gets at
the unacknowledged truth behind the political psychodramas of the Left, the
narcissistic notion that even the most destructive behaviors can feel good
because they make us feel good about who we are.
“Who we are” was the theme of a
number of Obama speeches. It is no coincidence that the politician who most
definitively straddled the cultural divide between Islam and the Left, while
uniting them politically in their mutual hatred of the United States of
America, could never get enough of telling us who we are.
The core of Jihadist Psychopath lies
in the conflict of identities, the slow sonorous clash of civilizations between
a West that is losing its sense of self and an East that is regaining it, and
between former conquerors losing their religion and renewed conquerors
regaining it, between monsters and victims.
“Islamic supremacism crushes all
individuality within itself. Its members cannot have their own identity or
beliefs, nor can they explore or nurture their own happiness or talents,” Jamie
Glazov writes.
And those same Islamic supremacists use
their conviction in the inferiority of the individual to destroy the identities
of their victims, temporarily adopting their borrowed identities as camouflage,
mirroring their victims, gaining their confidence, abusing them, destroying
their sense of self, and killing them.
Jihadist Psychopath is a compelling look at the process
by which the West is losing its life and its soul.

Muslim Brotherhood, Islamists Have ‘Infiltrated’ Swedish
Political Parties Since 1980s, Claims Academic

Academic Sameh Egyptson has claimed that the Muslim Brotherhood and
other Islamist groups have been systematically infiltrating Sweden’s political
system since the 1980s.
Penning an
opinion piece for Swedish newspaper Expressen, Mr Egyptson, a researcher in
interreligous relationships at Lund University, believes that the Egypt-founded
Muslim Brotherhood is attempting to bring forward an Islamic agenda in the West
by using democratic systems, in Sweden specifically through the Islamic League
in Sweden (IFiS) and Sweden’s Muslim Council (SMR).

“In my studies and research
documents, I found that Islamists already negotiated with political parties in
the 1980s about voting in elections. A report in Arabic
written by Sweden’s Muslim Council (SMR) 2001 described a historical chapter
that not many people know about,” he wrote, quoting the document as saying:
SMR collaborates with IFiS to
establish an Islamic political group to co-operate and coordinate with the
Swedish parties to educate political cadres. These cadres will mingle with the
parties and fight for the Muslim minority’s rights through these parties.
Mr Egyptson, who was born into a
Coptic Christian family in Egypt, adds: “For us who come from the Middle East
this is not a surprise. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood managed to
infiltrate two of the three parties that are the inheritors of [former Egyptian
President Gamal Abdel] Nasser’s Arab Social Union, both the Liberals and Social
Democrats.”
In
an interview with Dagen on
Wednesday, Mr Egyptson said that Islamism had begun to influence the country’s
political agenda, noting that “there are special laws for Muslims, Muslim
schools, gender separation, and more.”
He then claimed to have been in
contact with members of the Muslim Brotherhood who told him how they had
influenced politics in Sweden through “our brother in the defence committee” —
referencing a “moderate” member of the Rikstag.
“They could say this to me because
they thought I was a Muslim,” he explained.
One
of the examples the academic gives of “political Islam” placing candidates
into Swedish politics is of the former minister for housing and urban
development, Green Party member Mehmet Kaplan, who resigned from
the government’s cabinet in 2016 after photographs of him dining with members
of Turkish ultranationalists, including the neo-fascist Grey Wolves, exposed his
links to extremism.
Another
is Omar Mustafa, the former chairman of the IFiS, who was elected to the
left-wing Social Democrats’ party board but was forced to resign seven days later in April 2013 after disclosure of
his alleged relationship to the Muslim Brotherhood, as
well as for inviting known anti-Semites to a conference and for his views on
women and gay people.
Asked
by Dagen how it
was possible for the MB to have “infiltrated” Swedish politics, when the
fundamentalist Islamic group claims not to have contacts in Sweden, the author,
who recently published the book Holy
White Lies: Muslim Brotherhood in the West – Case Sweden, said, “It’s white lies,” explaining how he discovered in 1999 that Muslim
representatives in Egypt claiming to engage in ‘religious dialogue’ spoke
differently to Western visitors than they did to the Christian Egyptians.
“There was no religious dialogue, it
was white lies,” said Mr Egyptson said.
The author and academic warned
Swedish parties to “investigate the infiltration of Islamists and return to
their ideological values. For each new disclosure, the parties lose
confidence. Among the losers we find, in particular, the Muslim voters who
do not agree with the Islamists.”
In
September. Breitbart London reported that a
candidate for the Social Democrats was removed from the national list ahead of
Sweden’s federal elections for saying that Islamic law was more important than
Swedish law.
The
Social Democrats had also been warned to
take action over its “Islamised” youth wing after it emerged that members from
its migrant-populated no-go zones expressed views on LGBT matters that
conflicted with the party’s progressive position.
