More thoughts for a rainy day and coffee: "The Counter-Jihad is grinding its gears..."

In my first installment, I wrote:

The Counter-Jihad won't be able to go forward with what should be its #1 priority -- waking up fellow Westerners (who abound all around us) to the problem of Islam -- until it demonstrates the connections between "terrorism" and mainstream Islam.

And the rest of my posting proceeded to jump the gun, so to speak, without addressing an indispensably foundational question:

What exactly is this "problem of Islam" we would be waking up our fellow Westerners to...?

Until we in the Counter-Jihad (hopefully someday to became an actual, coherent Anti-Islam Movement) come to an agreement on what that problem is, precisely rather than vaguely, we would be dithering half-cocked -- albeit industriously -- with our pants down around our ankles, so to speak.

My answer to this most basic question... hang on, let me get a second cup...



My answer to this most basic question seems to vary significantly from what everyone else in the Counter-Jihad seems to believe. I say "seems" twice because no one in the Counter-Jihad, to my knowledge, ever actually spits out what they think the problem is with Islam, exactly. In their rhetoric, it remains vague and indirect, and all too often connected to a "Real Problemerism" (i.e., that the problem "really" is not Islam and Muslims, but rather some indistinctly and incoherently diabolical cabal of Westerners pulling all the strings of our miserable lives).  My answer I've never articulated comprehensively in one essay, and I doubt I'll be able to plop it on the table here right now in the fullness it deserves. For now, I'll ruthlessly summarize it in these stark terms, a hot shot of black coffee:

The problem of Islam is that it motivates 1.5 billion Muslims to want to destroy our societies and to plan that destruction through a combination of stealth deceit and violence. The various tactics of stealth deceit continue to be necessary only because currently Muslims are unable to destroy us, given the stupendous superiority of the West on all levels (economic, military, technological, scientific, social). This elaborate stealth deceit over many decades (I roughly estimate 100 years) will enable Muslims to destroy our societies violently. This doesn't mean they will have successfully "conquered" the West at that future date, only that they will have brought us to ruination, reducing the West to vast zones of killing fields, disorder, dislocation, and a general breakdown in infrastructure, where survival of Westerners who haven't been massacred by that time will have become a more or less desperate and precarious proposition, hiding from roving gangs of Muslims where more coherent Islamic rule has been unable to establish itself amid the chaos & ruins.

This is the future to which not only those in the broader Western Mainstream, but also those in the Counter-Jihad Mainstream, both the Leadership and the Readership, have through their incoherent logic consigned the lives of their great-grandchildren's grandchildren.
