While Islam is mostly a political movement bent on world domination, there may be some key exceptions.

I had an amazing professor of “The Middle East Problem” at Harvard. I know that he was amazing because he was denied tenure. He gave one of the most balanced and detailed descriptions of the events here in the “Levant” for the past 100 years. I recall one lecture he gave. He asked what binds Arabs in different countries. He began to list things: geography, language, history, culture, religion, etc. Then he asked what separates them. And then he listed the exact same items. Geography is shared but each wants to grab the land of his “brother,” as Yassir Arafat, for example, tried to kill Jordan’s King Hussein on numerous occasions. Language breaks down into dialects, and not all groups can even understand each other. History, culture, religion—don’t even get started on the Sunni/Shia split and the hatred they have for one another.

There is no question that Islam is not just a religion but rather a political movement wrapped into a religious framework. Conquest is a central feature, and one can easily find online videos showing the spread of Islam from its founding in the Arabian Peninsula to its present control of several dozen countries (many formerly Christian) throughout the world. And while the West has been negligent in letting in so many Muslim immigrants and not making them join in the local ways, Muslim Brotherhood/Qatar representatives see an opportunity to conquer or reconquer various countries through immigration, reproduction, and eventual political power. The question is whether the West will have to fight all of Islam in order to preserve the values and ways of life we have taken for granted for ages. I remember standing next to a grave in Westminster that was dated from 1100. And while Western countries go way back, they risk their conversion into another Egypt or........
