The Reality of Mohammedanism

There are very few political scientists in the US who 'get it.'  Fr. James Schall is one of them.

Schall does not begin in the 20th or 21st century,  His vision encompasses far more than our 'time' and 'place.'  Thus, he is a realist in the most accurate sense of that word.

...Allah’s mandate to Islam is progressively to subject the world to his will and to the law based on it. Terror will end and true “peace” will result only when all are submissive to Allah and live under Muslim law in all its details. What we outside of Islam call acts of violence are considered within it to be the carrying out of Allah’s will. Gruesome beheadings of Christians, however innocent, are seen as acts of justice. They are acts of “virtue” in this sense. The people who cannot understand this religious charge given to Islam, whether they be themselves Muslim or not, are themselves both unrealistic and dangerous. Their own presuppositions prevent them from recognizing and judging the real issue. They also prevents them from doing anything effective to hinder this expansion of Islam into Europe, Asia, Africa, and America....

To believe otherwise is to be a fool, pace GWBush.   (It would slander Bush to discuss his successor in similar terms, for his successor is a co-conspirator with Allah, so long as one understands "Allah" correctly as "not God."  Bush can be excused because he actually does NOT 'get it.'  Obama is another problem entirely.)

Bush, and most of Western populations, are part of the problem:

...We have lumped all “religions” together as illusions or myths. They are to be defanged and wholly subject to state power. Our political, academic, and cultural leaders cannot comprehend what is going on, either when a whole Western civilization loses its faith and moral standards or when Islam reawakens to the implications of its own faith and its vision of world conquest. The two—the loss of faith and the rise of Islam—are connected. The decline of the birth rate and civil undermining of the family in the West is one thing. Muslim immigration or invasion has engulfed this same area. Muslims, especially young males, did not seek power and prosperity in other adjoining Muslim lands. The expansion of Islam was justified also by its charge of moral decadence against the West....

The ravings of libertarians encourage the Muslims, just as the delusions of more-common materialists.

The "Arab spring" has just begun.
