Pipes favours a military solution to our Islamist problem
By Ted Belman
Daniel Pipes wrote Europe’s Stark Options in which he defined the options as integration, expulsion or Islamification. He failed to take a position. I wondered what it might be so I googled him for it and came up with this,
How the West Could Lose (FrontPageMagazine.com | December 27, 2006)
He asks “After defeating fascists and communists, can the West now defeat the Islamists?” He thinks victory is not so simple because
Islamists (defined as persons who demand to live by the sacred law of Islam, the Sharia) might in fact do better than the earlier totalitarians. They could even win. That’s because, however strong the Western hardware, its software contains some potentially fatal bugs. Three of them – pacifism, self-hatred, complacency – deserve attention.
I found his definition of Islamist interesting because they are anyone who follows Sharia Law. So moderates are those who don’t. My reading is that he considers moderates to be apostates. He goes on to define “pacifism, self-hatred, complacency” and ends with,
Pacifism, self-hatred and complacency are lengthening the war against radical Islam and causing undue casualties. Only after absorbing catastrophic human and property losses will left-leaning Westerners likely overcome this triple affliction and confront the true scope of the threat. The civilized world will likely then prevail, but belatedly and at a higher cost than need have been.
Should Islamists get smart and avoid mass destruction, but instead stick to the lawful, political, non-violent route, and should their movement remain vital, it is difficult to see what will stop them.
So it appears that he favours a military solution.
Ted, there isn’t going to be a military solution to the Islamist problem by the West, for the Western people or its allies (the Israelis), any time soon.
Why?
Because the West is run by a bunch of soul-less, power hungry, megalomaniacal elite group of politicians and their corporate big business allies who couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the safety, welfare and security of the Western “masses” (meaning decent human beings like us).
This goes way beyond “Western dependence on Arab oil” and “centuries old Western anti-Semitism”.These factors are certainly real and play a significant part, but they are merely a peripheral sideshow in the overall grand scheme of things as far as the Western power elite politicians see them (this includes their allies in bug business: the enormously powerful multinational corporations,military-industrial complex, the mainstream media and international banks).
These are the people who back the Islamists time and time again when the chips are down: the very same people who have prevented a military attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities for the last 31 months by either Israel or by the few decent people in the United States government who advocated such a response in July 2004.
These globalist internationalists are also the very same people behind the “hands off” approach and appeasement of North Korea and the giveaway of nuclear and other Western military state secrets to North Korea’s sponsor: the tyrannical regime in China.They are also the very same people behind the attack on the Serbs for the last 17 years via their backing of the Islamofascists and Nazis of Izetbegovic, Tudjman and the KLA.This is all amply documented and proven beyond question.
Read RandyTexas’ blog for an in-depth analysis of who these Western elites are and to get an inkling of their ‘control freak’ megalomaniacal elitist mindset.
The CFR and the Bilderberg group and like minded internationalist groups need to be dissolved very quickly as time is running out for Western Judeo-Christian civilization.
Pipes recently began to smell a rat about the pro-Ahmadinejad policies of the internationalist globalist CFR of which he is a member. He should immediately renounce his membership if he has not already done so.
There is no more dangerous an enemy than the (globalist) enemy within. To them, the sovereign Jewish nation state of Israel is anathema and should be sacrificed to the Islamists “in the interests of world peace”.
We are all in serious trouble if we don’t wake up to their nefarious internationalist machinations before it’s too late.
He left out political correctness that prevents us from criticizing these two-legged cockroaches and parasites. Michael Savage isn’t afraid to use the correct terminology: Hitler in a headscarf and bums in dirty nightshirts.
Israel wouldn’t be the first nor the last to be sacrificed. It won’t stop there. Islamists are murdering and terrorizing people all over the globe, killing for their Islamist states, their little slice of sharia. Not only in Asia but in Europe. Any attempt to sacrifice Israel for global peace should be met with war on the streets in all democratic countries. I don’t think I’m wrong if I predict that there would be a fierce uprising of citizens. We are not so stupid as to think that sacrificing Israel will make Islam cease and desist.
Ted, may I diffidently make a distinction here:
First I quote you: “I found his definition of Islamist interesting because they are anyone who follows Sharia Law. So moderates are those who don’t. My reading is that he considers moderates to be apostates”
Not exactly. In all fairness, my understanding of Pipes is Islamism is not simply one who follows Sharia Law but, more pointedly, an Islamist is one for whom Islam is a political religion. An Islamist is not just a religious believer but also a “politician”. Muslims believe in the fundamentals of their religion but Islamists are Muslims who have formed political organizations in an effort to install those fundamentals within the political fabric of society. Therein lies the distinction and the cause of conflict and violence. This distinction I owe to Mark Huband’s “Warriors of the Prophet”, Westview Press, 1999.

I strongly disagree. You cannot separate Political Islam from religious Islam. they are one and the same. The religion requires Muslims to conquer the world for Islam. That’s what Jihad is all about.
The more prevalent Islam becomes the more fanatic it will be. There are only be two types of Muslims, fanatics and apostates, but where Islam rules the apostates (moderates) will be eliminated. There is no reforming Islam, it iwill be defeated by force or it will prevail. It’s that simple.
