Dividing and Conquering

We are making ourselves easier to conquer by dividing ourselves into two opposing camps — liberal and conservative. It is a self-defeating division. Many liberals understand the problem of Islam and many conservatives do not.

More conservatives than liberals understand it, but does that mean conservatives should reject all liberals as allies? It doesn't make any sense. More brown haired people than blonds understand that Islam is a threat. Should blonds be rejected, ridiculed, or categorically dismissed because some blonds don't get it? Too many counterjihad information sources are also counterliberal, insulting and alienating liberals from this important cause.

Not all liberals are part of the problem. And some conservatives are. Let's not divide ourselves that way. It only serves the enemy. Let's aim for unity against this shared threat.

As Bill Warner recently said in an introduction to his Politics of Extinction video:

In a war you don’t need friends, you need allies. This distinction is important, because you have to like a friend, but you don’t need to like an ally. Under the threat of annihilation we need to see that all Kafirs are in the same boat. All of those threatened with extinction are Kafirs. Politics makes strange bedfellows, so atheist, Protestant, Buddhist and every other flavor of Kafir must work together to survive.

In Muhammad's day, his enemies didn't unite against the Muslims while they could. They squabbled with each other and Muhammad added rumors to help them distrust one another, allowing the Muslims (who were far outnumbered) to defeat the non-Muslims. We should avoid a repetition of history. We should unite against the Islamic ideology, and we should do it now.

Intro to Islam: A Primer for Puzzled Progressives

Announcing the release of a refreshingly candid, politically incorrect book for liberals who are ready to learn the truth about Islam, from one of their own. The following was written by The Savvy Kafir (the author of the new book):

Tired of seeing clueless left-wingers defending Islam, tooth-and-nail?

Me too!

Tired of seeing the mainstream media vilify anyone who dares to speak the truth about Islam?

Me too!

Are you mystified by self-righteous liberals who zealously aid & abet Islam in a bizarre, suicidal program of political correctness?

Me too! And I’m a progressive myself. But I’m also a dyed-in-the-wool “Islamophobe” who wants to see his fellow Lefties wake up to the threat that Islam poses to democracy, free speech, freedom of the press, women’s rights, and other essential human rights, before it’s too late.

The Savvy Kafir’s Intro to Islam dispenses with political correctness in the interest of honesty and common sense, and a passionate concern for the welfare of free, democratic societies. The author pulls no punches in his candid appraisal of the world’s fastest-growing religion — braving the wrath of tender-hearted Muslims and PC liberals alike.

The first edition is just $5.99, and is available in the Kindle format from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZK84UEE ... and in the ePUB format (for pretty much any device except the Kindle) direct from the Savvy Kafir, at https://SavvyKafir.selz.com.

Not ready to cough up the six bucks just yet? The introductory chapter can be viewed on the Savvy Kafir website here: Your Digital Wake-Up Call.

The first edition includes 4 bonus chapters from forthcoming books. Get ‘em while they’re free! (Sort of.)

Any assistance that webmasters, bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, Facebook aficionados, & Twitter enthusiasts can provide in promoting this timely & much-needed ebook is greatly appreciated! My hope is that Islam-curious liberals visiting the websites & blogs of cultural counter-jihadis will discover Intro to Islam, where they’ll get the straight dope on this alien ideology, from someone who shares much of their political worldview — from a progressive writer whose perspective they might be inclined to trust.

This is one issue on which liberals and conservatives should stand united against a common enemy — against people promoting a worldview that is radically different from our own, and inherently hostile to everything we believe in.

Thank you for your time, and any support you can lend to this project.

Sincerely,

The Savvy Kafir

Being Willing to Fight is the First Step

The anti-Islamization movement is full of fighters. Scrappers. People willing to confront scary facts. People willing to speak up, stand their ground, and do what's right. People who don't walk away from a fight because the odds are against them.

We are now in the process of collectively figuring out how to fight intelligently so we will prevail.

Enthusiasm is obviously not enough. And the fact that we're fighting on the side of truth and justice is not enough either. Plenty of times in history enthusiastic people fighting on the side of truth and justice were annihilated.

The first wave of the first Crusade has an instructive lesson for us all. The Pope had made the plea to the European Christian world to come to the aid of their besieged fellow Christians in Turkish Anatolia. A preacher called Peter the Hermit rode from town to town on his donkey speaking to crowds and exhorting them to defend Christianity from Islam. People joined in his cause and the group marched off to the Middle East. They had no real plan. They just knew something had to be done and by God, they were going to answer the call!

Most of those who followed Peter the Hermit were poor people with the crudest of weapons (I'm paraphrasing here from the excellent book, The New Concise History of the Crusades by Thomas F. Madden). Even women and children joined in the march across Europe to go fight the "enemies of Christ."

At the same time, another European group was forming to go fight. The two groups planned to meet at Constantinople and join forces before advancing to Anatolia. As separate groups, they marched across Hungary, Bulgaria and Greece.

Peter the Hermit's group arrived at Constantinople, but they didn't want to wait. They were ready to fight. The emperor of Constantinople tried to convince them to delay until the rest of the Crusaders arrived, but they were too eager, so without a plan and with very little experience and inadequate weapons, buoyed by their own belief in the rightness of their cause, they went off to war.

On the way to Anatolia, the French and German factions within Peter the Hermit's group started squabbling about what to do, and they split up. The German faction was overwhelmed by a professional Islamic army, and the entire German group was captured. Those who converted to Islam survived. The rest were executed.

The Muslims then sent a fake message to the French faction, leading them into an ambush and they were also annihilated.

We should not repeat this mistake. A fighting spirit is necessary, but insufficient to win. And the stakes are too high to be casual about this.

We are at war. Followers of Muhammad's example around the world are gaining recruits to make war on the non-Muslim world. Casualties in this war are mounting. Our own military branches have an important role to play, of course, but ordinary citizens have an important role too. And if we are going to win, we had better be smart. We're dealing with a very cleverly designed ideology that has effectively taken over a large part of the earth already and is now infiltrating every country in the world.

To fight this war successfully, we should use intelligent, extensively battle-tested strategies. For our purposes, these three are at the top of the list:

1. Gather allies
2. Coordinate efforts
3. Concentrate force at a decisive point

Read more about those here: The Good Must Associate.

We've been focusing here on Citizen Warrior on gathering allies — specifically, educating people about Islam in such a way that they join our side in this fight rather than turning against us and becoming unwitting allies of the enemy. At the very least, enough education should stop them from aiding the enemy. But hopefully we can bring them to our side.

This can be a very difficult task. We've been collecting tools that can help you here and common sense applies — you're not likely to be very successful, for example, by insulting people and telling them they're wrong. And you don't need to convert people to your side of the aisle to recruit them as an ally against the Islamization of the world.

We need allies so our coordinated efforts and concentration of force can have sufficient impact. That's where to focus our efforts in the immediate future (here's why). We need greater numbers.

We are already a group of scrappers, willing to fight. We can be glad for that. Now let's bring the fight to the enemy in the most intelligent way possible and win.

Are We Doomed? Is This Fight Hopeless?

Someone wrote to us and said: "I hope you found a petition site but I fear you may not, as I have noticed every site — even those that do not use hateful language — is shut down...England, France, Australia, and many other countries are on the verge of cultural collapse, and now in Dearborn MI they attack Christians. I think we are doomed to Islamic law. I do not think there is any hope. I will defend my Church if it is attacked but I feel in my heart the USA and England are lost. There is no hope because freedom of speech is one way: Say something to upset the world of Islam and the web page is shut down. I believe like the photo says but I give up."

I answered him with this:

Listen to me carefully. The fight is not lost. Not by a long shot. Non-Muslims still greatly outnumber Muslims and more non-Muslims are awakening to the situation all the time. Giving up now would be premature. We have a tough fight, but so did many others fighting for a just cause, like women getting the vote in America or Indians breaking free from British rule. Many times during those long struggles, it seemed hopeless, but it clearly was not.

Your feeling of hopelessness is caused by a mistake in your thinking. It is a mistake you don't know is a mistake. It may even be something you're proud of. But when you recognize what it is and why it is a mistake, your feeling of hopelessness will disappear and your fighting spirit will be restored.

I strongly recommend reading the book, Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman. Take the test included in the book. It will tell you exactly what kind of mistake you are making in your thinking and how to fix it.

I recommend this to all of us. If you find someone who learns about Islam but feels hopeless to do anything about it, urge them to read Seligman's book. It's not about positive thinking at all. It is about natural mistakes that commonly occur in the human brain.

Seligman's research has discovered six specific mistakes someone can make that will cause him or her to give up on a goal that is, in reality, achievable, and shows you how to eliminate that mistake from your thinking.

Read it yourself and learn it well, and you will be able help people restore their determination to stop Islam from fulfilling its prime directive. They won''t even have to read the book.

We cannot afford to lose people from this cause. Use the information to help keep our fellow citizen warriors in the fight.

Why All Non-Muslims Should Become Acquainted With Islamic Doctrine

If the detractors of the counterjihad dissidents are correct, the "extremists" are taking the violent passages from the Koran out of context and Islam is really a religion of peace.

If misreading Islamic doctrine was the actual cause of the world's Islam problem, the solution would be helping Muslims read the Koran and the rest of Islamic doctrine and understand it correctly. Or perhaps we could simply rely on basic human decency and treat Muslims well and they will reciprocate and we can all live in peace.

But those of us who are acquainted with Islamic doctrine understand that these responses couldn't possibly solve the problem because the core values and principles of Islamic doctrine itself include clear and unequivocal commands for Muslims to set aside their human compassion and force the rest of the world to submit to Islamic rule.

Helping Muslims read and understand their doctrines better would make the situation drastically worse. Even more Muslims would then become aware of their obligation to wage jihad on the non-Muslim world.

Even if we allowed only moderate Muslims, MINOs, or heterodox Muslims to immigrate into our countries, their offspring are susceptible to becoming orthodox (radical), so that solution wouldn't help much in the long run.

If more people were aware of the fundamental intolerance and violence of Islamic doctrine, it would be obvious that entirely different kinds of solutions to the problem would be necessary, like curbing Muslim immigration, preventing Muslims from being in military or security positions, cutting off money we are now giving to Muslim countries, etc.

It matters that people understand what's in Islamic doctrine because the solutions they propose or support will be entirely different, depending on their understanding.
