I have been doing a three-part series about revolution, including first, the proposed Democratic Socialists revolution in America, along with the bloody history of socialist and communist revolutions in recent times.
We now turn our attention to the Islamic revolution.
For the record, Islamism by contrast is not Islam. It is a revolutionary death cult within Islam. It is a political ideology that reframes Islam not primarily as a faith but as a totalizing political program. Its advocates insist that Islam is not merely a spiritual religion but an all-encompassing system governing politics, law, and society, in a manner that is antithetical to western civilization.
Alexis De Toqueville, who had a lot to say about the French and American revolutions, also studied the religion of Islam, and in 1838 he determined Islamism was detrimental to societal progress. He argued that Islamism encompassed not only religious doctrines but also political and legal frameworks that he believed could hinder the development of democratic societies. He had studied the Quran a great deal. He came away from that study with the conviction that, by and large, there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Islamism.
We can’t, therefore, say we haven’t been warned. The brutal truth about Jihad-loving radical Islamism? When it gains power, it gives three choices to infidels and “compromised” Muslims: convert, become a slave, or die.
While the woke left in America denounce our history as one of colonialism, the Muslim Brotherhood is imposing what they refer to as a “Civilization-Jihadist Process,” which means that their work in America and in Europe is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” And that’s a direct quote
The Muslim Brotherhood
A 200-page report, published by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), calls on the U.S. to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization to thwart its efforts to penetrate all aspects of American life.
As one scholar put it, the impact of the Muslim Brotherhood lies in something more subtle but ultimately more corrosive than overt violence: shaping the ideological and social environments in which radicalization becomes more likely. Make no mistake about it, the Civilization-Jihadist process serves as nothing less than the preparation for violent jihad.
The report first makes it very clear, there is a firm distinction between Islam and Islamism as follows: Islam is a religion that inspires Muslims to practice their faith in diverse ways, and for the vast majority of them, Islam provides a framework for devotion and moral living that is fully compatible with democratic values, pluralism, and modern life.
The most significant promoter of Islamism is the Muslim Brotherhood. Egypt, the Brotherhood’s birthplace, has banned the movement and designated it a terrorist organization after decades of political confrontation and violence. Saudi Arabia, the custodian of Islam’s two holiest cities, has likewise outlawed the Brotherhood, describing it as a source of division and extremism. The United Arab Emirates has gone even further by proscribing the Brotherhood and related groups as threats to national security and social cohesion.
These actions clearly demonstrate that criticism of the Brotherhood does not stem from hostility to Islam itself. On the contrary, they reflect the recognition by Muslim governments and scholars that the Brotherhood distorts religion for ideological purposes, undermines legitimate religious authority, and destabilizes societies.
The Institutional Entrenchment Tactic
Tamkeen is one of the Brotherhood’s most important doctrines. It refers to a deliberate process of institutional entrenchment and empowerment. Rather than seeking immediate revolution, it calls for embedding Islamist influence within civil society, consolidating authority inside Muslim communities, and normalizing Islamist discourse in the wider public arena. Tamkeen is not simply a tactic of survival; it is a long-term program of transformation in which Islamist movements position themselves to shape the environment around them until they are sufficiently entrenched to advance their wider ideological objectives.
Muslim communities have also been among the first to suffer from Islamist authoritarianism, sectarianism, and violence. This demonstrates that Islamism is not a defense of Islam but an imposition upon it.
Another organization, Fondapol, a French think tank, hosts the definitive website on the Islamic revolution through the lens of terrorist attacks.
Islamism’s Bloody Trail
The following quotes from their research highlights the fact that the revolution is leaving a bloody trail across the Muslim-majority Middle East and Africa, as well as Europe.
The Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa accounted for 96.7% of Islamist attacks between 1979 and April 2024. The report cites the deadliest terrorist organizations, taking into account their various offshoots, were the Taliban (71,965 deaths), the Islamic State group (69,641 deaths), Boko Haram (26,081 deaths), al Shabaab (21,784 deaths), and al Qaeda (14,856 deaths). These five terrorist groups were responsible for more than three-quarters (81.8%) of the victims of Islamist terrorist attacks between 1979 and April 2024.
In Europe (excluding Russia), since 1979, there have been 209 attacks and 802 deaths.
The research cited from Fondapol doesn’t include the statistics involving Muslim “rape gangs,” individual knife attacks, and honor killings, among other phenomena attributed to individual Muslim immigrants against the native population in Europe. For instance, as Daniel Greenfield has reported in Frontpage magazine, a poll in Sweden indicated that one in ten women have been raped, which is similar to a poll indicating the same statistic in the UK.
Acceptance of Islamism’s “Rape Culture”
The Restore Britain organization has released “The Rape Gang Inquiry Report” which details in shocking horror white British girls as young as 11 years old suffering from systemic sexual abuse, trafficking (some were trafficked to the Middle East), torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and forced marriages by Islamic immigrants. According to the report, 250,000 women have been victimized. It is estimated that a minimum of 87% of the perpetrators are Muslim. Complaints by the victims have been largely ignored because the authorities did not want to offend the immigrant’s “culture.”
What is that “culture”? Edward D. Andrew, author of many books on Islam, writes, “At the deepest level, Shariah’s allowance of sexual use of captives rests on a particular theology of the non-Muslim. In this view, the unbeliever—especially the polytheist or idol worshiper—is fundamentally unclean. His life, property, and family are subject to the claims of jihad.
“When Muslim armies fight ‘in the path of Allah,’ they are entitled to the spoils of war. This includes not only land and goods, but also human beings. Women from conquered peoples are thus redefined. They are no longer seen as wives and daughters within their own communities but as loot—gifts from Allah to the victorious. Their previous religious ties and marital vows are considered null. Islamic jurists argue that by capturing them, Muslims have severed their old allegiances and placed them under a new legal order. Within that order, a Muslim man owning a slave is seen as bringing her under the protection of Islam, even while violating her sexually. Consent is not central to this theology.”
Abiding the Death of Western Civilization
On a side note, the movie “Taken” was an accurate account of this phenomenon. The kidnapping, rape, and trafficking, of white girls depicted in the movie is based upon true accounts. The only thing fictional was their rescue. That is, nobody is coming to rescue these victims.
The reason all this abuse has gone on for so long with few prosecutions and even fewer convictions had to do with the fear of British authorities being labeled “Islamophobic.” That is, multi-cultural wokeness was manipulated to the point of ignoring abhorrent behavior which has served to traumatize an entire generation of young British women. The root of this inane clash of civilizations is rooted in Western tolerance versus the Islamist belief that “white trash merit punishment.”
The Muslim Brotherhood is using democratic freedoms—freedom of association, speech, and civic participation, to eventually impose their authoritarian control and abuse of people, institutions, and civilizational norms. As is the case with the DSA attempt to overthrow the U.S. Constitution, America must come to grips with the fact that a slow-moving revolution is still a revolution and it must be dealt with as such. As a wise man once observed, culture is not just what people value, but what society tolerates repeatedly.
In the case of Islamism, that means “tolerating” the rape, pillage, plunder, and death of Western Civilization, or what’s left of it.
