This item nicely spells out the real and present nature of the
Islamist Threat which I want to emphasize has zip to do with Islam
except to provide a convenient cover for political barbarism.
It is easy to become concerned over the threat itself particularly in
the face of the exaggerated claims made. The truth is that the
threat looks great on paper and evaporates in the face of human
reality. To understand were this is all going, I suggest that you
compare Palestine of 1930 to Palestine of 2012 and Israel of 1930 to
Israel of 2012. Capital matters of course and some aspects are
unfair, however playing catchup was always an option. Instead we
have had decades of Islamist political mastery in the form of decadal
dictatorship and general thuggery.
It is utterly impossible to construct a modern society with an
authoritarian regime unless the rulers step back from
authoritarianism. Nazism hijacked a modern society and was on the
way to choking it economically when it fell. Communism succeeded
after engaging in a huge capital build out to maximum putative
capacity to then choke in its own waste. The Islamists cannot even
do that much.
The good news is that the forces of modernism inside the Arab world
are now fully aware of just what to expect and foremost is the
military itself. The military can separate itself from the political
component and simply sit back and steal to their heart’s content
knowing full well that the Islamists need to make the country rich in
order to entertain foreign adventures. Right now they see plenty of
advantage in letting the thugs run for awhile until they over step,
at which point the military can step back in to reclaim democracy.
Enemies are identified and neutralized in the process.
The problem of course is that two dead hands are then on the economy.
In short, I am expecting Islamism to now be ground up internally and
totally discredited. Recall that no economically successful Islamist
society has ever existed and we have many examples of successful
societies reduced to even barbarism by Islamism.
In time, and we now have time, a strengthening secular society
peopled by five billion people will simply confront the remnants and
impose reform and change. It may not be overly nasty even simply
because of the imbalance of power.
Islamists Have the
Keys to the Arab World

It’s possible that
in the coming years the Arab masses will revolt against their new
Islamic rulers. But today, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafis, the
Wahhabis and all the other followers of the Koran have the keys of
the Arab world.
The new president of
Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, is a pious revolutionary whose message has
always been very simple: “Islam is the solution.” The real
Egyptian people were not the secularists described by hypocritical
Western journalists based in Tahrir Square. Instead, they are the
people revealed in a recent Pew poll: 54% believe men and women
should be segregated in the workplace; 82% believe adulterers should
be stoned; 84% believe apostates from Islam should face the death
penalty; 77% believe thieves should be flogged or have their hands
cut off. That’s why the new Islamic rulers will try to impose the
veil on women, ban alcohol and attack the cold peace with Israel.
That’s why the most important Arab country will move toward a
theocratic anti-Western scenario.
The Muslim
Brotherhood isn’t seeking power; they want to change society and
the individual in the name of a totalitarian ideology. They have
waited 80 years to seize the power, while their worldview was forged
in the Arabian desert 1,300 years ago. To become a “Brother,” an
Ikhwan, one must pass through eight years of training. It’s like
joining Heinrich Himmler’s SS. And like the Hitlerist special
forces that were at war with Judaism, cosmopolitism, communism and
democracy, the Islamic Brothers are at war with individualism,
modernism, consumerism, materialism, tolerance, subjectivism,
rationalism, paganism, Judaism and Christianity. Like the SS, the
Brothers divide reality into light and darkness, spirit and matter,
Islamic and non-Islamic. French philosopher Christian
Godin wrote that Islamism is far more dangerous than either Nazism or
Communism, since the latter, despite their genocidal follies,
presupposed their own preservation. For the
Hitlerists, the “inferior race” does not deserve to exist; for
the Stalinist, the “enemy of the people” does not merit to
continue living; for the Islamist, it is the world itself that does
not deserve to exist.
Islamists will take
into account tourism and jobs. But on top of their agenda is the
Koran, not Egypt’s gross national product. They want to build a
haven for Muslim bearded men, which will turn out to be a hell for
women, Jews, Christians, unbelievers, atheists, converts and all the
free men and women. More and more Copts will leave the country,
walking in the streets of Cairo will become increasingly dangerous
and the border with Israel will be open to rockets, salafism and
beheaders.
One year ago the
Muslim Brotherhood’s supreme guide, Mohammed Badie, proclaimed: “We
will continue on the path of Qutb.” Few “experts” understood
the deep meaning of this statement. The stories about the suffering
of Qutb in Egyptian prisons are a kind of dark mythology of Islamism.
Qutb was held for hours in a cell with dogs snarling while being
beaten during rounds of questioning. Badie was his cellmate. Qutb
managed to get his manifesto, “Milestones,” smuggled out of jail.
It’s the “Mein Kampf of Islamism.” The text circulated
clandestinely for years and was later banned.
Qutb’s disgust for
the “degenerate” West does not stop with women or jazz music,
which he claimed was “created by Negroes to satisfy their love of
noise and to whet their sexual desires.” Qutb vilified the Jews as
“slayers of the prophets” and as “perfidious,” double-dealing
and “evil.” Qutb was hung on August 29, 1966, after the dawn
prayer. It was a martyrdom which planted deep roots in the Arab soul.
Qutb had written that
the only way to get rid of “corruption” is the imposition of a
“just rule” at war with modernity, human rights, promiscuity,
materialism and Zionism. Like Adolf Hitler, Qutb was a dark man,
humorless, intense and rigid. Like Hitler, Qutb turned his sexual
frustration into a fanatic virtue. Like Hitler’s Aryanism, Qutb
heralded the notion that Islam is superior. Like Hitler, Qutb saw the
existence of the Hebrew people as the measure of the world’s moral
bankruptcy.
After six decades of
Arab kleptocracy, the Middle East is going to be engineered according
to Qutb’s nightmare. Symbols help to understand the mindset. That
of the Muslim Brotherhood is a Koran and two sharp swords. In 2005
they published a map of the world. In the center is a green area, the
color of Islam. In a lower panel it said: “One hundred years from
now,” with the field completely green.
The Nazis called it
“Lebensraum.” The Islamists call it “Caliphate.”
