The Herald's Hawke's Bay Today website published an item by Malcolm Eves*.
This is my response:
Honest Reporting** has
gone some way to correcting the errors mentioned in your Hawke’s Bay Today
article, but there is one glaring omission, relating to Jews being “God’s
chosen people”, which is that of the role played by Islam.
Islam goes much
further than Judaism in presenting its place in the world. It states that every person is born a Muslim (tawhid)
and that it is their parents who take them away from Islam’s absolute
truth. This is why converts to Islam
describe themselves as ‘reverts’.
Since Muslims regard
Islam as Earth’s default religion, anyone not a Muslim is an infidel. If infidels refuse to revert, or as other monotheists
– Jew or Christians, take the role of ‘dhimmis’ and pay a humiliating tax, they
are the equivalent of apostates. The
punishment for apostasy is death.
Islam’s choice is convert, pay the dhimmi tax, or be executed. This is original, mainstream and current
doctrine for both Sunni and Shia schools of jurisprudence.
Furthermore, Islam
explicitly imposes on its adherents the obligation to bring infidels into
submission to the will of Allah, and encourages Muslims to do this be means of
the aforementioned violence (jihad), by migration and fecundity (hijrah) and by
proselytising (dawah).
This message is
getting through to the entire world, as Islam imposes itself slowly and
steadily into its supremacist position in the West. Anyone watching Islam’s growth, presumption,
and condemnation of any criticism, has to have a better explanation than Islam
being just another religion like Christianity.
You may may well
hate Jews and the existence of Israel, but neither pose any threat whatsoever
to global stability. Islam, however, not
only seeks to eliminate Israel, but also wants to retrieve Jewish land it
conquered because it believes that land once conquered for Islam is gifted to
Allah for eternity (waqf). Why should
this religious belief, held by people who are not native to the area, trump
Israel’s much longer one for people who were indigenous? The issue of Palestinians will never be
resolved because they don’t want it thus, and it has nothing to do with anything
Israel does or doesn’t do. It has
everything to do with dividing opinion in the West, and this it does extremely
effectively with the help of people who promote its toxic line.
The threat Islam
presents to the world is primarily due to its supersessionist nature, taking control
of national identity and governance in the name of Allah. Other major causes of the threat it poses is
its inability to reconcile modernity with it essentialist 7th
century nature, and to its internal sectarian strife.
But it goes bigger
and deeper than the inherent chaos of an ideology that thinks that since it’s
the perfect system for running a society it has no faults, and that any
failings are due to the malignancy of outsiders, principally its main enemy,
the Jews.
Islam imbues its
followers with the concept of the ‘ummah’, the brotherhood of Muslims. This represents a hugely powerful global
sense of identity and purpose.
Its purpose is to
being the world into submission to the will of Allah. With the necessary help of you and you ilk it
is succeeding.
The result will
bring Western civilisation – by all standards the greatest the world has seen –
into the chaos, barbarity, corruption and tyranny that has riven the Muslim
world of today. Islam’s moral system
shares nothing with the evolved nature of the Judeo-Christian Greco-Roman
civilisation of the West. It will replace it.
Jews won’t do that.
