Islam preys on the most vulnerable in society, offering them a sense of higher purpose. It’s no wonder gingers (ahem Lindsay Lohan) convert to Islam in such high numbers. They also have especially high conversion rates in jails, making Islam and dick the two things most likely to penetrate new inmates.
For years, the Left has been tormenting the right with tales of bigotry. We’re supposed to consider frat boys singing lewd songs about women as an example of “rape culture.”
We’re supposed to look at critics of Black Lives Matter as racists.
And we’re supposed to consider Christian bakeries uncomfortable with gay weddings as the leading example of homophobia in society today.
Well, there is a real rape culture in the West. And there is real homophobia in the West. And there is real out-group intolerance in the West. It all comes from Islam.
Never again let the Left tell you they are the ones fighting bigotry. They are, in fact, its greatest defenders. They are the ones standing in the way of Pamela Geller, Geert Wilders, Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Douglas Murray, Maajid Nawaz, Sam Harris, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and me. All the people who are actually doing something to fight the most intolerant, bigoted ideology in the world today face a constant pushback from the very same people who, if they were true to their own principles, would be on our side.
But it’s no matter. With Daddy elected in the United States, and Brexit underway in the United Kingdom, I’m confident we can win without the regressive Left.
DEFEATING ISLAM
Islam today is like communism in the early stages of the Cold War. They both present young, disaffected people with an idealistic, tribal, utopian vision that is drawing in millions. And like communism, Islam is inspiring violence all around the world.
If there’s one thing we learned from the battle with communism, it’s that the West can’t compromise its principles. It can’t apologize for itself, like the Left constantly wants us to do.
It was no accident that the Berlin Wall collapsed at the end of the 1980s. It was the end of a decade when America and, to a lesser extent, Britain, shook off the malaise of the 1970s and recovered their national sense of self-confidence. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan proudly walked the world stage, aggressively asserting the greatness and superiority of their respective nations (“America First” wasn’t invented by Trump, only perfected). In the increasingly backward, increasingly poor, Warsaw pact, the choice between the West and communism quickly became a no-brainer.
At the same time, western governments poured money into programs designed to undermine the idea of communism. With state funding, Radio Free Europe and Voice of America ceaselessly broadcast news of anti-communist activities—as well as jazz and rock music—across the Iron Curtain. The propaganda campaign was so successful that KGB memos asserted that up to 80% of Soviet youth were listening to western radio broadcasts.
That’s a long way from western leader’s attitudes to Islam, isn’t it? Far from asserting the superiority of western liberalism to the theocratic east, they’re wearing headscarves, bowing to Saudi monarchs, and grinning stupidly in mosques. In the Cold War, some western leaders advocated peaceful coexistence with the Soviet bloc, sure, but I don’t think any of them ever donned Mao suits or sang The Internationale.
Instead of drawing attention to problems with the Islamic way of life, our leaders seek to present the increasing violence of the religion’s followers as the actions of a tiny minority who will soon be defeated.
But they won’t be defeated. The Islamic State may be crumbling in Syria, but it represents a world-view that is attracting swathes of young people. Because the West has done nothing to stand up for its own superior way of life, an entire generation of young Muslims came to view muftis as their rock stars and mosques as their concert halls. Western leaders talk about challenging the radicalization of young people, and then turn around and talk about how wonderful Islam is.
The results are inevitable and devastating.
It’s theoretically possible to peacefully coexist with Muslims, but only if they can find a way to remove the radical element from contemporary Islam. Too many of the current generation are attracted to an ideology that insists on imposing its way of life on everyone else—or killing us, if we refuse.
And the Muslims who don’t actively identify with the most poisonous end of their ideology are perfectly happy to turn a blind eye to its horrors, as poll after poll have demonstrated.
Like communism, we are dealing with a viral meme that needs to be fought head-on.
The old talking points about “violent extremists” are no longer working. Indeed, they never worked to begin with.
We’re fighting an idea, and the only way to beat it is to show that the West is the best. Western leaders need to talk about what makes our society great: freedom, tolerance, equality of opportunity. Like Reagan and Thatcher, and Trump and Farage, they need to tirelessly assert their country’s greatness.
Islam has to be made uncool. This is a war of culture as much as it is a war of politics or faith, and we have to start fighting it now, in music, books, journalism, art and with every other means of creativity at our disposal, demonstrating as we do so what is possible with the free expression we so cherish in the West.
But more than that—and this is what they really don’t want to do—our leaders need to talk about what makes Islamic societies bad.
SO WHY DO MUSLIMS HATE ME?
Last summer, I annoyingly had to resign myself to the fact that I could not lead a gay pride march through the gay district of Stockholm, as I had been planning for some months. My security team informed me that the risks in Sweden were too great. By that time, I had already been subject to a deluge of Arabic death threats (and one bomb threat) on Twitter (which promptly suspended me for a day).
I have little love for western feminists and leftists, not least for their relentless denial of everyday realities. But at least their willful ignorance rarely comes with a body count, at least not directly (indirectly, in the form of their immigration policies, it certainly does). It is only Muslims who are so fanatically devoted to their 6th-century delusions that they will murder anyone who dares challenge them.
Well, there’s a little phrase I like to say that Muslims had better be prepared to hear more often: Sorry, no offense, but it’s true. With so much of the western media determined to play the ostrich on Islam, don’t be surprised when the public turn to Dangerous Faggots to give them the real story.
The gap between what Muslims believe Islam to be, and how it is actually practiced in many Islamic nations, is so wide that it’s hard to imagine any Islamic reformation taking place in the near future.
