Jihad By Other Means

MANY PEOPLE think we in the West have nothing to worry about from Islam. The West has superior weapons, a superior military, and Jihadis are not going to start an all-out war with western powers. All of this may be true. What we westerners should be more concerned about is the perpetual Islamic political encroachment as democracies give Islam one political concession after another until we've painted ourselves into a corner from which we cannot escape.

The Jihadis' work has already begun. The Islamic invasion is already underway. Here's the plan:

1. Suppress criticism of Islam. At the very least, you can cry, "Racism!" (even though Islam is not a race) and that might silence someone or get them fired. But you can often go much farther. When someone says anything against the teachings of Islam, you can sue the writer, the publisher, or the television station for defamation of a religion or libel or discrimination. Since many of these suits are brought by Jihadis with excessive oil money (Muslims who can afford good lawyers and long legal campaigns) it has made people think twice about speaking openly, even in free countries. Islamic countries just recently introduced a bill at the United Nations to make criticism of Islam an international crime.

2. Use deceit to keep the kafirs confused, at odds with each other, and ineffective. Islam has a principle called taqiyya, which means "religious deception." Basically it stems from the Islamic concept that Islam is at war with all non-Muslims, and all is fair in love and war. Deceit is used by most military strategists as a legitimate weapon, and it is permissible and even encouraged in the Qur'an against anyone who is not a Muslim.

3. Convert kafirs into Muslims. Outreach programs, television programs, one-on-one conversations, advertising — they use it all, and they present only a friendly face of Islam to kafirs (non-Muslims), hoping to dupe them into joining this "peaceful, tolerant religion." Or they use the "join with us and end your persecution" approach (for minorities). They also have a very successful track record of converting thugs in prisons into fanatical Muslims. They try every avenue they can find.

4. Increase your numbers inside the non-Muslim country. Jihadi men sometimes have several wives, even in western democracies where it is illegal, and have many children per wife. Often the Jihadis try to get non-Muslim women to marry them, but get them to convert first. Another way they increase their numbers is to help get more Muslims to immigrate into the non-Muslim countries. They recognize the power of numbers and they are actively pursuing that course. Serge Trifkovic (author of The Sword of the Prophet) said Jihadis have proven throughout history that "once they reach the numbers that allow them to impose their will, they will do so."

5. Gain small, incremental, legal concessions from non-Muslim countries. And make sure you give no concessions in return. Recently, for example, the Phoenix airport capitulated to some Islamic women's demands to change the uniform of their employees. The airport's uniform included pants, and the Islamic women said they couldn't wear them and they wanted to wear skirts. So the airport conceded. No big deal, right? Concessions like this are being made constantly, with more and more frequency. When it all adds up, it is a big deal. The fact that each concession is so small is one of the reasons people allow it.

These five strategies are already being done, right under our noses. The way to stop the slow-encroachment invasion is to educate non-Muslims. Once people can see what the Jihadis are doing, they'll vote against it, and they'll vote for representatives who demonstrate they see it too.

The end result will be no more concessions to Islam. The encroachment must be stopped. You can help. In fact, you must help. We need all the help we can get, and the sooner the better. Have conversations like these with people you know. Talk to them about Mohammad. Share articles with them. Loan them good DVDs. Start today. We can stop the invasion; we just have to be smart about it.
