Peloni: The target in this war is grander than Israel, and more broad than the US, but these two nations, the so called little Satan and big Satan, respectively, are all that threatens the success of the barbarians. As corporations, individuals and nation states act to pretend that the outcome of this war will not affect them as they submit to the demands of the Islamists, they forget that submission is both the literal translation of Islam as well as the intent of the Jihadist war before them. Indeed, by deferring to the Islamists, these Westerners are in fact acting to solidify their own capitulation, and as they are acting to capitulate to barbarism, the consequences of doing so will be the abrogation of not only their own fate and liberty, but that of their successive generations as well. It is a time to fight or submit, and the consequences will be the inheritance of civliziation or its demise to the future, so choose carefully when attemting to not offend the Islamists as Howard discusses in this insightfully poignant essay.
Each time liberal Jews, police, media, universities, Jewish organizations, or Christians adjust their plans or their speech so as not to “offend” Islamists, we are one step closer to submission. The War has started and we are in danger of losing it.
What is the effect of the American and European, police, media, universities, et al deferring to masked, violent hateful young Islamists and Leftists by foolishly tolerating their breaking of laws (except for Trump’s refreshing calling a spade a spade)? What might be the effect on Israel’s long term security?
What if the Islamists and the Leftists have already declared War and nobody is taking that seriously? The reader might be aware of the early 1970s saying “Suppose they gave a war and nobody came”. That was derived from an American antiwar slogan from the hippie subculture during the Vietnam War era, popularized by Charlotte E. Keyes in her 1966 article for McCall’s magazine titled “Suppose They Gave a War and No One Came”. It was also the name of a 1970 American anti-war movie.
One problem is that each time liberal Jews, police, media, universities, Jewish organizations, or Christians adjust their plans or their speech so as not to “offend” Islamists, we are one step closer to submission.
See my book The Ideological Path to Submission … and what we can do about it. Or my earlier book, Tolerism: The Ideology Revealed.
It is now my opinion that America’s and Europe’s submission we see almost every day in mainstream media (such as the toleration of shouts to kill all the Jews by “freeing” Palestine or removing Jews between “the river and the sea”) reflect nothing so much as submission. Europe is showing us how not to react to this Jew-hating shouting and lawlessness.
Is Israel alone in its proper response to Islamism? I believe that the cultural values of Jews passed on to many Christians help us stand against evil.
We must insist that our friends acknowledge that this is a war of Good versus Evil. If we are too woke, too tolerant or too submissive to make this War about Good versus Evil, we are missing the obvious – that the War has started and we are in danger of losing it.
Israel should know better than any other country that it is very difficult to live alongside Islamists. While Israel has attempted every reasonable negotiation such as what produced the Oslo Accords, it took the barbaric October 7th to drive home the nature of the enemy. Now we see too many around the world accepting Hamas claims.
The war we are in must be understood as one that often eschews military weapons. We are fighting a culture war, an ideological war against a fast-growing Muslim world that seeks the establishment of the world-wide Caliphate based on Sharia Law. I argue that the West has just about lost this war and we must stop our wishful thinking and our naivete if we intend to have any chance to win this war for the benefit of our children and grandchildren.
Just one more example of the corner we are getting put into: Iran now has precision guided ballistic missiles and they are given to the Houthis, another crazed Iranian proxy with its most fervent hope being to kill Jews. The most significant event since October 7th was the Houthi missile furnished by Iran that hit near Ben Gurion airport.
Immediately many international airlines stopped flying into Israel and some tourists changed their plans. So we see how obsessive Israel-hatred may still allow Israel’s enemies to hurt Israel, with our supposed friends now practically on the side of the Islamists – who have real voting power now in Europe and soon in countries like Canada and Australia, where pro-Israel speaker Hillel Fuld was just banned.
We must understand that the war for Islamism has already started and that in some respects, such as culture, journalism, policing and higher education, we may well be losing that was. It would really help if we stop deferring to the Islamists.
Howard is a good friend of mine. He used to be good friends with Salim Mansur who used to be a righteous muslim and who’s books Howard helped to publish.
The 3 of us met around Oct 7 2023. Soon after, Salim changed his colours. He blamed Israel for Oct 7! I felt terrible for Howard. He probably felt duped like some of the Israelis who befriended the Gazans who committed those atrocities on Oct 7.
I love Howard for his discipline and focus on the care of his people and his courage. He is a great writer. Thank you Peloni for publishing Howard’s work!
It’s not Islamophobia – it’s being IslamoFedUp!
Looks like the Irish have had enough, aside from the usual pests that we know are prevalent in just about every country.
No surprizes here. The Islamists use the Salami technique all the time and this technique has proven itself over and over. The other similar way of putting this is If you give them a finger, they’ll take your whole arm.
Any Islamist that reads this will complain and suggest it’s simply not true, but they can’t prove it.
On the other hand, you can’t use salami technique on Islamists. It doesn’t work because they immediately recognize it and refuse to cooperate. We need to learn immediately to do this too.
This means, no new sharia city in Plano or anywhere else we live. They can have their city in Saudi Arabia where their Islam is welcome.
