Islam: The West’s ‘Most Formidable and Persistent Enemy’ via American Thinker

Those that believe Liberal, Politically Correct elected “leaders” and Muslim apologists and even Muslim are fools. Islam has never been at peace with Western Civilization, is not now and never will be. Muslim immigration to the west must stop and all non-citizen Muslims returned to their country of origin.This is not rascist, Islam and Muslims are not a race. The practicing of Islam must cease. Muslims are not immigrating to the west to assimilate and be equal with the citizens of the host country. They are invading with the express purpose of taking over and destroying the host, much like a cancer. Islam can not be controlled and like a cancer it must be eliminated.

Islam must be banned

Islam: The West’s ‘Most Formidable and Persistent Enemy’

By Raymond Ibrahim

At the height of Western dominance over Islam in the early twentieth century, the European historian Hilaire Belloc (b. 1870) made a remarkably prescient observation that may have seemed exaggerated at the time:

Millions of modern people of the white civilization — that is, the civilization of Europe and America — have forgotten all about Islam. They have never come in contact with it. They take for granted that it is decaying, and that, anyway, it is just a foreign religion which will not concern them. It is, as a fact, the most formidable and persistent enemy which our civilization has had, and may at any moment become as large a menace in the future as it has been in the past” (from Belloc’s The Great Heresies, emphasis added).

Anyone who doubts that Islam has been “the most formidable and persistent enemy which our civilization has had,” should familiarize themselves with that civilization’s long militant history vis-à-vis the West.

According to Islamic history, in 628, Muhammed, the Arabic founder of Islam, called on the Byzantine Emperor, Heraclius — the symbolic head of Christendom — to recant Christianity and embrace Islam.  The emperor refused, jihad was declared, and the Arabs invaded Christian Syria, defeating the imperial army at the pivotal Battle of Yarmuk in 636 (see my MA thesis on this battle, which one prominent historian described as the world’s “most consequential”).

This victory enabled the Muslims to swarm in all directions, so that, less than a century later, they had conquered the greater, older, and richer part of Christendom, including Syria, Egypt, and North Africa.
