Why Only Muslims?

Another article today in the NY Times by Andrea Elliott (she got a Pulitzer Prize for her puff pieces about an Imam spreading the “good word” on Islam to America), this time about Jihadists in Morocco with all the same questions about WHY? However, neither she nor any of the other pontificators on this subject ever ask the most pertinent (and obvious) questions, perhaps because the answers cannot support the reporters’ or publishers’ ideological needs: The need to spread “understanding” and “tolerance” and, above all, to avoid any grounds for criticism of “the other’s” culture. Questions that could be asked or topics discussed:

· All the subjects of this article come from very large families (eight to fourteen siblings) living on the very edge of poverty in overcrowded quarters, yet there are never any questions about why they feel they can/must have such large families that cannot be supported by the family unit and, in most cases, by the country’s economy. The result is an excess population that is foisted on more advanced countries (in this case, Spain) who are then excoriated for not accommodating this large, indigestible, alien influx. Or they are expendable biomass, suitable to be used as human bombs. What are these countries doing about controlling their populations? Of course, being Muslim countries, they cannot be questioned on this subject since this is “cultural” and has a hint of externally-imposed population control (“killing the Muslims”). One phenomenon of these large broods is the pride of many families in the “martyrdom” of their sons and daughters, most pronounced amongst the Palestinians. In countries where the population is vanishing, we treasure (some might say, worship) every child. We make rational decisions about how many children we can support, and the countries are then lectured about the need to take in the hordes for humanitarian and economic reasons. Westerners deny themselves large families so that they (or their governments) can be better able to support these unfortunates. And beware if you don’t accommodate them in the style to which they want to be accustomed, they are fully entitled to blow you up. Such idiocy.

· Above all the question to be asked is: Why only Muslims? Other cultures and societies are also overflowing with miserable people, but they don’t generally go around blowing up societies that they wish to join, or indulge in “jihad” and martyrdom for their faith (defenders of the Muslims always bring up the Tamils in Sri Lanka as a counter to the uniqueness of Muslim barbarity, but their mad actions are usually political assassination by extreme method). There are criminals galore in the human tide that is invading –unchallenged- the US and Europe, but only the Muslims are radicalized and politicized and primed to commit mass murder. What is there in Islam itself that produces this fanaticism? No other religion, cult or even political “ism” has “clerics” preaching this kind of violence. No other religion can extract from its source material rationales and justifications for this kind of barbarity in “defense of the faith”. The source of this mad behavior is Islam itself. No rationalization required. Just about every account of the individual Muslim madmen that “martyr” themselves (whether they are born Muslim or convert) seems to have the same progression: Somewhere along the line, the person changes his lifestyle (they seem to nearly always start out as drunkards, fornicators and/or drug addicts); then become “serious”; start attending a mosque (if we are unlucky it will be a “radical” mosque being supported by some Western government and the Saudis); pray 5 times a day; blah, blah, blah; THEN they meet up with some “radical cleric” (seems to be a lot of them around) and really go nuts. Perhaps the solution is simply to shut down all the mosques to prevent the perpetuation and spread of this hateful religion.

Face it: Islam is the problem. It is the mad cow disease of religions. When someone is seriously infected… well, we all know what happens to cows that get infected with mad cow disease.
