Islam is a supremacist warrior ideology of plunder and submission. It is anti-mind (dogmatic to the extreme) and thus anti-life. Post-modernism is <I>explicitly</I> anti-mind and consequently a cynical effete degeneration. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes dogmatic brutes appear sturdier than effete slobs. But it is only apparent; they are soul mates underneath. The only reason that Muslims have survived 14 centuries without annihilation is that the decaying modern societies can rely on fruits of science from a better time. Thus, Nazi and Soviet technology could magnify evil several orders of magnitudes beyond those who rely solely on the sword.Jason Pappashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233796281520274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023482402423762474.post-19877889368916175732007-06-19T00:41:00.000+00:002007-06-19T00:41:00.000+00:00Before I answer, let me say how much I appreciate ...Before I answer, let me say how much I appreciate you as a political philosopher, and that I'm honoured to have you commenting here in my blog. <BR/><BR/>About Islam, I find what you write truly shocking. Islam "has more of a place for natural human inclinations"...<BR/><BR/>To me conservatism means, among other things, getting things in perspective and proportion.<BR/><BR/>Your understanding of Islam is way out of proportion. You are up on the moon. And I start thinking your assessment of the contemporary West is way out of proportion too.<BR/><BR/>I haven't written much, at my blog, about the horrors and perversions of Islam, <I>down to ever single aspect of life</I>. Because I assumed my readers already know. But obviously it is not known.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe you do know and it's Islams reduction of women to breeding machines and the men into sex-crazed warriors, that you describe as "actually support human life"? <BR/><BR/>Sexual perversion is at the center of what makes Islam tick. Does your comment mean that when you assess the sexual perversion of a culture, that it is not how revolting, disgusting and brutally dehumanizing it is that counts, but whether it leads to many child births and territorial expansion?<BR/><BR/>How much do you know about Islam, really? Are you prepared to accept any amount of sexual perversion before a weak culture?<BR/><BR/>Obviously I will have to write more in my blog about the horrors and perversion of Islam.Conservative Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307427516065904295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023482402423762474.post-21326457472574825682007-06-18T23:32:00.000+00:002007-06-18T23:32:00.000+00:00Not surprisingly, I find your comments somewhat pu...Not surprisingly, I find your comments somewhat puzzling.<BR/><BR/>The point of my comment about Islam isn't that it's nice to have a substantial Islamic presence in the West, or that Islam and the non-Islamic world can ever be other than opposed, but that Islam can actually support human life (as demonstrated by 1400 years experience) which I don't think advanced liberalism can in the long run.<BR/><BR/>I suppose I should add that by "Islam" and "advanced liberalism" I mean systems of principles along with their presuppositions and innate tendencies. I'm looking to the future. So I'm not saying that it's nicer to live in Iran than in the U.S. today, since after all the U.S. and every other actual Western country still retains a lot from its preliberal past, but that advanced liberalism, with its programmatic determination to eradicate all standards other than maximum equal satisfaction of desire, has it in it to create something worse than what we see in the Islamic world. It denies much too much of what makes us human and it's endlessly "progressive"--simple, logical and ultimately unlimited in its demands. The evils of Islam in contrast are subject to important limitations because it doesn't form such a logical system and it has more of a place for natural human inclinations.James Kalbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262354596266250867noreply@blogger.com
