Your Muslims this week

Agent 6 wondered if "Islamization" by the numbers could be considered "fear-mongering". I don't think so. All that Peter Hammond has done is to present statistics as to the percentage of Muslims in certain countries -- not a Nobel-winning piece of research -- and look at recent political and social events in those countries. His inferences may be frightening to Christian Westerners, but that's not the good doctor's fault.

It has been suggested that Islam is not as bad as all that. Dr. Hammond and others who say there is a Muslim plot to "Islamize" the world are racists and xenophobes, some say...and don't much like strangers either! Let's look at the events of the last seven days and see if we can draw any conclusions.

Every week The Economist begins with "The world this week", a summary of the week's events in politics and business, one page of each. The 13 March issue has 21 items on the politics page. Here are seven of them, with comments from Walt.

• Bombs exploded in Baghdad to coincide with Iraq's election. Rival alliances of different Muslim groups are fighting -- literally -- for power. But that's democracy in the Middle East.
• Israeli Jews and Palestinian Muslims were supposed to hold "indirect talks", mediated by Joe Biden, over conflicting claims to Jerusalem. Let it be remembered that Jerusalem was first a Jewish holy city. Then it became holy to Christians because of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Centuries later, the Muslims came along. Christians are only a tiny minority there now, but Muslims and Jews both claim they should control, not share, the entire city.
• Hundreds of Christians were massacred by Muslims in the Plateau state of Nigeria. Plateau lies betweenthe Muslim north and Christian south of that lawless country. The state and national "governments" are powerless to halt the carnage.
• One of Egypt's senior clerics, Sheikh Muhammad Tantawi, died of natural causes (?) in Saudi Arabia. The Economist says "he was a force for moderation who angered radical Muslims by...rejecting their insistence that Muslim women should be wholly covered."
• The White House said it would take weeks more to decide where to prosecute Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of 9/11. His supporters and the usual Voices of Human Rights think he should receive a fair trial in an ordinary criminal court, rather than a military trial which one might think should follow an act of war.
• A British cartoonist was convicted by a Turkish court for drawing a caricature of the country's prime minister as a dog. He narrowly escaped going to jail. In the West, of course, we are free to depict our presidents and prime ministers as dogs, or jackasses or whatever fits.
• A suicide bomb killed 13 Muslim government officials in Lahore, Pakistan. And another six were killed when a foreign aid agency's office in Manshehra, Pakistan, was bombed. The Pakistani bomb-throwing team is expected to own the podium in the next summer Olympics.

So, that's seven (7) stories out of 21, or 33%. Percentage of Muslims in the world, according to Dr. Hammond -- 22. 22% of the population, 33% of the bad news...this week.

"Islamization" by the numbers

What follows is said to be adapted from Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat, by Dr. Peter Hammond. This excerpt and comments on it have gone viral. Walt did a Google search for "Peter Hammond Islam" and got nearly 50,000 hits. I'll give you a couple of links at the end.

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here's how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal food on their shelves -- along withthreats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. [There was a push for this in the province of Ontario, Canada, only a few months ago. It only just missed being made law because of the pressure of an informed public. Walt] The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to cartoons depicting Mohammed and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections of:
Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%
[And don't forget Nigeria, roughly 50% Muslim. Check out this weekend's news from Plateau state, where hundreds of Christians were butchered by Muslims. Walt]

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some state-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward being 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced in:
Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in "the peace of Dar-es-Salaam" -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:
Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

"Before I was nine, I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel." -- Leon Uris, TheHaj

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law.

The police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrasses (religious schools) where they learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.

Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.
