President Emmanuel Macron has launched a campaign against political Islam and what he calls Islamist “separatism” in some French cities, seeking to restore order in sometimes violent and impoverished suburbs and to elicit support from rightwing voters ahead of local elections in March. In some of his most explicit comments on Islam and France, Mr… Continue reading Political Islam Part 23

The claim that contemporary Muslim activities are putting Islam to use for political purposes seems, at least in some instances, to be warranted. Political parties such as Hizb al-‘Amal in Egypt or the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in Algeria that base their appeal on their Islamic credentials appear to exemplify this instrumental relation to religion.… Continue reading Political Islam Part 22

Over the last few decades, Islam has become a central point of reference for a wide range of political activities, arguments and opposition movements. The term “political Islam” has been adopted by many scholars in order to identify this seemingly unprecedented irruption of Islamic religion into the secular domain of politics and thus to distinguish… Continue reading Political Islam Part 21

The rapid succession of events of the past four years have challenged conventional wisdom on political Islam. After the democratic openings in 2011, mainstream Islamist groups—affiliates and descendants of the Muslim Brotherhood—rose to newfound prominence after decades in opposition, but grappled with the challenges of governance and political polarization.

The first is on the floodgates appearing to be open on the migrants in France being encouraged and supported by France in crossing the channel. The second is on Erdogan of Turkey not being happy at the EU not… Continue reading Political Islam Part 18

Buddhists do not keep up with the history of war. Keep in mind that in Jihad only Christians and Jews were allowed to survive as Dhimmis (Servants to Islam) everyone else had to Convert or Die. Jihad killed the Buddhists in Turkey, Afghanistan, along the Silk Route, and in India. The total is roughly 10… Continue reading Political Islam Part 17

Koenard Elst in Negationism in India gives an estimate of 80 million Hindus killed in the Total Jihad against India. The country of India today is only half the size of ancient India, due to Jihad. The mountains near India are called the Hindu Kush, meaning the “funeral pyre of the Hindus.” Eighty Million Hindus!… Continue reading Political Islam Part 16

The number of Christians martyred by Islam is 9 million. A rough estimate by Raphael Moore in History of Asia Minor is that another 50 million died in wars by jihad. So counting the million African Christians killed in the 20th century we have 60 million Christians! Is anybody still blindly arguing that Islam is… Continue reading Political Islam Part 15

Thomas Sowell estimates that 11 million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and 14 million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East. For every slave captured many others died, estimates of this collateral damage vary. The renowned missionary David Livingstone estimated that for every slave who reached a plantation,… Continue reading Political Islam Part 14
