We can’t not admire the Muslim brotherhood and feel the hurt Muslim when other Muslims are killed by non Muslims. We appreciate that Muslims want to keep the exclusive right for killing each other uninterrupted, and are jealous of others killing Muslims.
After all, more Muslims are killed by Muslim than by any other religion.
We appreciate the fact that Islam cares for the poor, but must also acknowledge that many Muslim countries are on the verge of financial collapse, and need help from the West to survive. Alternatively they resort to non-Muslim practices, like growing drugs or piracy.
We wonder how it can be that Islam’s care for the poor has not eliminated poverty even in those privileged countries where God spreads money in the streets.
We understand the outrage of those Muslim in England that feel that their kids are not safe in our streets, and yet we would not like to take Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan or Somalia as our role model for safety.
We also know that rape is a horrible crime. It’s far too common here, and not punished severely enough as our distorted system cares for the aggressor more than for the victim. But I don’t believe that sentencing to death women who got raped is the solution.
If you have ever read my blog you know that I am the first to admit that many things in England suck and that things are getting worse. But they suck because our freedom is being eroded, because we have become corrupt, because we have lost appreciation for education, because we are rapidly becoming like those Muslim countries – a model we must avoid at any cost.
I have nothing against the Muslim religion or Muslim people. I have read the Korean and learnt about the great things that Muslim brought to us and should be proud of: medicine, mathematics, astronomy. We should all be thankful for those achievements, and I wish that these were the things the Muslim world would claim credit for. But I have a lot against hypocrites. And there is no other word to describe those who use our freedom to this freedom away.

In our naivete, the majority of us want to believe that the racial, ethnic and religious problems in the Middle East are all one big misunderstanding. We reason: If the parties would sit down at the conference table and talk to one another, all of the contentiousness would disappear.
The major flaw with this naive hope is that it isn’t based on history or reality.
Muslims have been making war on the west for centuries. Muslim conquests took Turkish Muslims to the gates of the city of Vienna, Austria. Furthermore, since the founding of the USA, Muslims have been a thorn in the side of almost every US President.
In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson had to dispatch a naval task force to Libya to rescue American sailors held on board the Philadelphia. The rescue made Navy Lieutenant Stephen Decatur a national hero.
About one hundred years later, President Theodore Roosevelt dealt with the capture of Greek-American businessman Ion Perdicaris. This time the incident was in Morocco, but the surrounding issue was a tribal dispute among the various Muslim leaders.
Seventy-six years later, President Carter had to contend with Iranian Shia Muslim radicals after revolutionary zealots supporting the Ayatollah Khomeini took Americans hostage in the American embassy in Teheran. His successor Ronald Reagan was in office during a string of terrorist incidents.
Twenty-two years after the Iranian hostage debacle, Al-Qaeda operatives flew three American jetliners into the sides of some of our most prominent buildings and eighteen months later, President George W. Bush gambled the future of his presidency and the future of American Middle Eastern policy on the removal of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. The publicly announced reason was to battle a terrorist supporting Middle Eastern state.
What have we learned from all of this? The honest answer is that we haven’t learned very much at all.
That will continue to be the case until non muslims come to terms with the realities of Islam. The Islamic world has a very distinct world view, and one that is poles apart from the Western world.
This world view is completely rooted in the texts of the Muslim holy book, the Qur’an, and Hadiths, statements that expound on the Qur’an. The Qur’an and related Hadiths speak to every aspect of their lives, and the combined writings form a distinctly Muslim view of the world, from relationships with foreign countries, relationships with non Muslims and even women’s rights. Those writings even propose how Muslims will relate to an ever-changing world.
The world of the Muslim is divided into two distinct parts: The Dar al-Islam and the Dar al-Harg. These are the spheres of Islam and everything else. Thus, Islamic foreign policy is driven by an overarching belief that the world is in two parts, the sphere of Islam and the sphere of war. If a country is not in the Islamic world, it’s in the sphere of war. In one sense, this makes Muslim foreign policy very simple. They believe they’re right and everyone else is an infidel.
