Among the wise minds who have explored this are Bernard Lewis / What Went Wrong, Samuel Huntington / Clash of Civilizations and David Pryce-Jones / Closed Circle; the latter being the most informative and persuasive, in my judgement.
At its core, Islam is a a militant and intolerant cult having a this worldly focus that is obsessed w/the imposition of a world-wide Caliphate to administer universal Sharia Law.
Akin to the earliest structures formed by man, Islam remains tribal in temperament. As a result, it has never created or developed institutions that have evolved through the consent of the common people for the greater good of all.
Consequently, whatever advances in Islam is the result of force, making violence intrinsic, necessary and systemic.
the latter being the most informative in my judgement
Thomas,
I don't know if they taught this in Religion class at the Catholic schools much beyond 1963 but, do you remember what used to be said about the creation of what we used to call Mohammedanism instead of Islam and were taught it was a False Religion/Cult?
How Mohammad reputedly created it out parts of the then two major religions existent then. Christianity and Judaism.
That he wrote two separate Korans one in Medina, and one in Mecca.
That he didn't collect many followers under his original iteration of a peaceful religion/cult, and it stayed small and insignificant until he took to using murder, misogyny, brutality, and warring for profit and influence, against all who opposed him.
That he created it in such a manner I'll use a modern day analogy to explain it. It was the equivalent of what L.Ron Hubbard did when he created Scientology/Cult?
That Mohammad allegedly created it because the people he identified with were being mostly ignored by the main stream Religions of that era, but in light of historical facts he did it to gain power,wealth, and control over a lot of people.
The church teachings of the fifties laid it out carefully and showed where he took things piecemeal from the tenets of those religions, added his own twists to benefit himself, and tried to combine all of them into a control of the political base he wanted to create so he could rule the middle east?
Granted the catechism books skipped the perverted side of his personality, but went into detail about the obvious flaws in his religious logic and contradictory edicts for his followers. Most of the original followers were controlled by the spoils of war they stole while waging it against the other religions. that practice with little to no difference prevails today.
If you remember the Nostradamus picture that Orson Wells made as his last cinematic opus he over played the fact that if the worlds Muslim Population were to find their roots the world would tremble in terror. It is my belief that playing that picture so many times world wide in the 1970's ignited the current day Islamic Jihads and power plays.
All true Mike.
The Arabic word Islam means submission, which at its core rejects free will. Consequently Islam is devoid of creativity and spontaneity. In nations where it rules, backwardness and repression dominate; the record of history being mute testament to that reality. It is asserted that many Arab nations are wealthy but that is hardly a function of creativity rather it is an accident of geology.
Were the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire not in advanced decline by the late 6th century, they would have strangled Islam in its infancy, sparing the world from this retrograde and pernicious cult.
Thomas,
Here is a treatise on the Shiite Sunni split and indicators that point to Obama being on the Sunni side of the Islamic internecine conflict. ISIL which Obama always cites as the Terrorist aggressor instead of ISIS is predominantly Shiite whereas Sunni is predominantly Sunni.
Read the article at; http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/09/15/isis-and-washingtons-ignoran...
It also shows where other politicians are making glaring mistakes on the war on Terror.
as an example, here is an excerpt from the article. "
There is little indication that Barak Obama is more aware. In striving to crush ISIL without an alliance with Syria and Iran, and relying on the reluctant Saudis and NATO, he is (1) recruiting thousands more anti-U.S. Sunni jihadis into ISIL ranks and (2) exacerbating a Sunni-Shiite war while marginalizing key Shiite players.
There are today only four Shiite-majority countries, two of them non-Arab. Iran is over 90% Shiite, due to the conversion of the Safavid Persian dynasty in the early sixteenth century. A powerful, populous country, it sees itself as the defender of Shiites globally. Neighboring Azerbaijan, once ruled by the Safavids, is about 75% Shiite. The two Arab countries are tiny Bahrain (60%) and Iraq (65%).".
