Why Islam cannot coexist with the West.
Let us talk about what political Islam actually is.
Because it is not faith, spirituality or a person’s personal relationship with a God.
It is a political ideology. A law-religion. A total system that regulates everything - what you eat, what you wear, who you love, what you may say, what you may think, and what happens to you if you leave it.
This is not religion in the sense we know it in the West.
It is a political apparatus of power with a God as the supreme argument.
And here is what separates Islam from all other major world religions.
The Quran is not up for negotiation.
Christianity has undergone reformation. Enlightenment. Internal criticism. Theological development over centuries. This created room to separate faith from state apparatus - church from state.
Islam has not undergone that reformation. The Quran is regarded by believing Muslims as the direct and infallible word of God. Not interpreted, not culturally conditioned and not historically relativized.
That means what is written….applies.
Apostasy is punishable by death. This is not the extremists’ interpretation. It is the text.
Blasphemy is punishable by death. ISIS did not invent that. It is the text.
A woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man. It is the text.
When the text cannot be reformed, religion becomes first and foremost law. Not faith or spirituality. Law. And law demands enforcement.
And then there is what the West will not say out loud.
Political Islam has a 1,400 year documented history of expansion. Not invitation. Expansion.
Everywhere it came, local cultures, languages, religions and identities were either wiped out or subjugated.
The same system is now in the West.
Not by the sword….yet.
But through demography, special treatment, legal pressure and intimidation of everyone who speaks against it.
With Western politicians who call it culture. With Western media who call criticism of it hatred. With naive Western sympathizers who defend a system that would kill them for their lifestyle - because among other things they hate America and Israel more than they love their own freedom.
Let me emphasize.
One can have a Muslim background and personally choose freedom over system. It happens. Not often (because it has consequences). But it happens. I respect that.
But Islam as a textually literal, unreformed political law-religion - fully implemented - is incompatible with freedom. With equality. With freedom of speech. With everything the West is built on.
This is not “just an opinion.” It is a consequence of reading what is actually written.
Either you stand on the side of freedom. Or you stand on the side of the system. There is no third choice.
And note this.
Mohammed bin Zayed - the leader of the UAE - is actually the most interesting case in this entire discussion.
In 2005, Zayed told the American ambassador that his biggest concern was Wahhabism and that what could replace the Saudi royal family would be an ISIS-like Wahhabi theocracy.
He saw it. He understood it. And he acted on it.
The UAE has built a system that actively combats political Islam. Not perfectly. But they are on their way.
Zayed has had the Abrahamic Family House built in Abu Dhabi - a mosque, a church and a synagogue side by side. He donated land for the first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi.
Pope Francis visited the UAE - the first time ever a Catholic pope set foot on the Arabian Peninsula.
The UAE’s foreign minister warned Europe directly in 2017:
“There will come a day when we see far more radical extremists coming out of Europe because of lack of decision-making and political correctness. I am sorry - but that is pure ignorance.”
The bitter point is that Muslim leaders in the Middle East are warning Europe about political Islam. Europe is not listening. And calls those who say the same thing at home racists.
Good luck to all of us.✝️❤️🔥🪽
