The Muslim Immigration Dilemma for the West

In 1992, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington gave a lecture entitled, “The Clash of Civilizations and The Remaking of World Order.” In 1993, Huntington published the essentials of this lecture as an article in Foreign Affairs. His book by the same name followed in 1996. Huntington’s theory was that nations were already beginning to reorganize relationships and loyalties around cultural rather than primarily ideological and economic factors and that future conflicts would center around clashes of culture. At center stage, once dormant Islam, now blessed with enormous oil wealth, was becoming resurgent Islam, renewing its centuries-old militant religious-ideological based cultural drive for world dominance. Huntington stated:

“The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. Nation states will remain the most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations. The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future.”

Huntington warned then that U.S. immigration policy needed to be adjusted to the new reality of Islam’s use of both violence and immigration to overthrow its religious and cultural enemies in its quest for dominance. In fact, Muslim Brotherhood documents indicate that immigration is an enormous and essential part of Islam’s civilization-jihad to conquer North America and Europe.

Huntington urged as a first step that Congress adopt the recommendation of the Jordan Commission to limit immigration to 550,000 per year. Congress ignored this because of powerful special interest donors favoring cheap immigrant labor and ethnic special interests pressing for more ethnic and cultural diversity—really more ethnic political power. Our total annual immigration is now over 1.5 million, more than five times the 1986 level. La Raza (the Race) is perhaps the most powerful ethnic interest pushing with its own version of civilization warfare to dominate the Southwestern U.S. culturally and politically.

Meanwhile the cultural-Marxist weapons of multiculturalism, diversity-insanity, and political correctness have virtually disarmed the American people in the face of cultural warfare that is meant to bring American and Western culture down and marginalize or subjugate any who dare defend them. It is more and more obvious that Barack Obama’s fundamental change in American society is change that marginalizes Constitutional government and any cultural expression of traditional forms of Christianity. What Obama and the Democratic Party, with the help of spineless Republican leadership in Congress and the RNC, are doing is overturning the influence of Biblical Christianity and Western culture in America. Out of control immigration is a primary tool in America’s cultural destruction.

The use of immigration as cultural warfare is dangerous enough in its La Raza, and usual Leftist forms, but the danger posed by Islam to non-Muslims in the United States and all Non-Muslim nations is especially grave because violence against non-Muslims and especially Christians and Jews is written in their “Holy” Koran,  and the teachings of Muhammad.

Notice that I am speaking about Islam, not some much smaller fraction of Islam referred to by dangerously naive and ill-informed politicians, liberal academics, and liberal clergy as

”Radical Islam.” Islam is not a religion of peace and tolerance hijacked by radicals. Radical violence and fanaticism to advance Islam are fundamental to Islam and contained in its most sacred doctrinal writings: the Koran and the Hadiths. The Hadiths are basically the teachings and example of Muhammad.  This fundamentalist Islam, called “radical” by many, is taught in over 80 percent of U.S. mosques. While only 10 to 20 percent of Western Muslims admit to sympathies with violent Muslim jihadists, the more secularist or seemingly merely cultural Muslims tend to “radicalize” rather quickly as their numbers increase and as ethnic tensions rise. Support for Sharia Law, which endorses violence in enforcing Islam, is usually at least double open support for violent jihad. This large potential for militant sympathies should be a warning that increased Islamic terrorism and even Islamic regional military control of large geographical areas in North America and Europe are becoming realistic probabilities. The political correctness, multiculturalism, and coercive diversity burdens on our Armed Forces and law enforcement agencies have meantime reduced our capability to respond to such national security and public safety threats. Both out of control illegal immigration and unwise and politicized expansions of legal immigration, including extremely dangerous unvetted increases in Muslim immigration under the Obama Administration, are making insurgent warfare by Muslim forces within the United States a realistic nightmare that we must be prepared to defeat.

The potential for so-called “moderate” Muslims to suddenly become Koran-quoting radical militants is much greater than people believe. For example, a few weeks ago, when ISIS forces entered the Syrian city of Hassake, many normally friendly “moderate” Muslims immediately joined ISIS and turned on their longtime Christian neighbors. They had simply been waiting for an opportunity backed by stronger Muslim forces. According to Christian refugees from Syria and Iraq, this is not an exception but a near rule of operation. The larger part of “moderate” Muslims were quick to assist in informing on Christians and participating in attacks on them.

A teenage Christian girl from Homs, Syria, said her family barely escaped death, when their former friends began to hunt down and kill Christians. Homs once had 80,000 Christians. Now all have fled or been killed.  Another Christian refugee from Mosul told how the people there embraced ISIS and drove out the Christians.

This is by no means a new behavior pattern for Muslims. Many Christians killed during the Armenian genocides in Turkey in the early 1900s, were killed by formerly friendly neighbors on the order of Muslim religious leaders.

According to the Pew Institute, there are now 2.75 million Muslims in the U.S.  Under the Obama Administration, Muslim immigration has doubled from 50,000 per year to 100,000 per year, and these are poorly vetted.  Given the aggressive militancy and deceptive civilization-warfare of Islam, we are taking extreme national security and public safety risks in our immigration policies that could soon bring unimagined pain, grief, destruction, and debilitating fear. Had enough multiculturalism and political correctness yet?
