I do believe that there is a religious aspect to Islam
It comes back to what I was getting around to earlier, its religious indoctrination. However, this progressed over the centuries. The fact that some would suggest “I want to do this, or I like and believe in what I am doing”. should be no surprise, nor is it historically. Nor should this be understood that because one whole heartedly believes in what they are doing, it is in fact moral, ethical and socially acceptable. Western society by large has extended its hand to Islam to live free under its laws. Islam has intended to indoctrinate by various methods to consume the Freedoms of the West and East for that matter.
This is the flaw in Islam which is intent on imposing its will on others who have no use for it mind-set. As the Islamic percentage increase’s in population its imposed will begins with the Religion of Peace demands. This really isn’t rocket science.
When wild ideals such as this are allowed to incubate and breed unchecked it really shouldn’t be a surprise of the outcomes. Look at Russia, Germany, China, now look at the middle east and for example Egypt and its present situation.
This comes back to your point of who’s leading and teaching.
The fact that some become fanatical and others do not doesn’t change the religious indoctrination, it changes how each individual is rooted within it. Which come’s back to the tax situation which resulted in a attempted suppression of Islam as a religion in Italy. Islam wasn’t rejected as a religion because their faith isn’t rooted in a belief of god. It is socially unacceptable to Italy in that it does not conform to the established laws. It never does, it does not believe in them but to follow till they overcome them [Sharia Law] and they are viewed as temporary obstacles.
When man replaces God, then men follow the strongest leader, and what becomes acceptable is exactly what he desires, nothing more, nothing less, and its always made into law for the leader is the leader right wrong or indifferent, he leads through power, strength, thus control. And if he wins public favor all the better, its exactly what happened with Napoleon. Isn’t this what happened with Mohammed?
And to the victor go the spoils. A dilemma man has with himself and in correctly understanding Grace, without it we are “animals”. And when you take man by large out of his comfort zone, through the security of shelter/home, food, medicine and basic needs. he will look out for his own best interest, never think “we”: are that civil, indoctrination at this point is just as quick as in the military. There’s a fine line between barbarism and civil and the thinking confirms itself, barbarism does not define itself as barbaric and becomes insulted that you should suggest such as thing, which is why they know not how to stop being barbaric, and suggest “I like what I do” Its called “denial”.
The world vision of a united world under the rule of Allah is a very real ideal, make no mistake about it. As we see that’s what Islam and its strongest leaders chose by large to impose. And again the fact that individuals become radicalized is “no mystery” it can occur very quickly, weeks. In weeks everything you thought you believed and knew, could go out the window. We as individuals will think so much of ourselves which leads one to believe “that would never happen to me”. And how wrong they have been historically.
You don’t receive titles such as Religion of Peace because you demand it, but because its a reality and you live and earn it. But isn’t that the whole issue with this indoctrination, it has no plan to compromise but to “rule” and dictate its beliefs which already deemed other corrupt and have little desire to acknowledge they actually may be “wrong”. Well, how did the Germans think of themselves under Nazi rule? Do you believe they thought what they were doing was wrong?
The assumption is America can be defeated from within. I say that’s contingent on a passive attitude. That’s changing and by a few different factors, one is awareness, two is the economic situation, which then basic needs can no longer be taken for granted, thus the value of the very freedoms established here become front and center. And of course by the continued attacks on American soil by Islams radical agenda.
These visions, they are not uncommon with Christianity either. Should the apostolic church’s unite you may hear that chant “no salvation outside the church” become very real once again. We are all responsible to safeguard from such insanity, and I do mean all. Unfortunately Islam by large has engaged already in a agenda. They want to bring Peace to the world through violence and restriction of Freedom. Ban the Bible, forced conversion, rape, honor killing, no tolerance etc.
Islams plan of mankinds salvation is world rule and complete conversion to Islam ultimately. If you have evidence of contrary, I’d love to see it. That said there are Islamic scholars who are aware of all this and publishing and finding a large following in the Islamic community. Everyone is not subjected to the indoctrination, by large such as in Egypt these good muslims are silenced like we witnessed at the University their by the MB.
Understanding what is going on in your own community helps for sure. It would have helped in Boston. It will help in the future.
Its all a “radical” agenda. The difference is in degree not kind, as in how to impose Sharia Law. Now if you consider Sharia Law not radical then we would have to define Sharia Law and dissect it to see how indeed it plays out with “all” mankind. for example those who could care less about Mohammed or have other beliefs.
