A short history of islam that is still more complete and correct than ream after ream of politically correct speeches and absurd taqqiyah writings from modern politicians, pundits and muslim apologists.
Here is a short sample:
"A good example of this bizarre historical ignorance is the demonic role
assigned to the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement. An ISIS billboard in Iraq
reads, “We are the ones who determine our borders, not Sykes-Picot.” In
this false history borrowed from self-loathing Westerners, the
imperialist French and English divided up the Ottoman Empire in an act
of stealth colonialism. This history is false, and strangely diminishes
the region’s Muslims, making them the mere passive pawns of external
manipulators. But as Efraim Karsh points out in his indispensible new book The Tail Wags the Dog,
the region’s leaders “have been active and enterprising free agents
doggedly pursuing their national interests and swaying the region pretty
much in their desired direction, often in disregard of great-power
wishes.” The true history of the region shows that the disorder today
has two main sources: the doctrines of Islam that keep the region mired
in a premodern, tribal mentality; and the disastrous decision of the
Ottoman sultan to join the Central powers in World War I, against the
advice of the British, who wanted not colonies, but an Arab empire to
replace the Ottomans’."
I am so bored with the whole subject.
ReplyDeleteAfter 9/11, the gatekeepers of American culture decided that they were more interested in collecting "good people" badges and condemning "Islamophobia" than they were in, y'know, actual Islam and the intrinsic political aspects thereof.
Zombies are the boss of us. Do not argue with zombies.
Agreed. No minds will be changed. We are beyond that.
