"The Crusades themselves are ancient history as irrelevant to today as the treasure junks of Imperial China. Fascinating, of course. But with little to teach us about how modern commerce and international relations should be approached."
I disagree profoundly. Islam has been presented in the West as "The Religion of Peace" (only 5 years ago some Muslim conference in London had a massive banner declaring that falsehood to be true.)
1) Westerners are indoctrinated to believe that the greatest genocide in history was that of the Nazis against the Jews, and that many western countries were complicit in this genocide by not taking Jewish refugees before the war, and not doing enough after the war. But the greatest genocide in history was that of the Muslim invasion of Asia - something no westerner is taught in school, something no western media outlet discusses.
2) Westerners are indoctrinated to believe that throughout the history of Islam, Muslims have lived peaceably side-by-side with Christians, Jews, Buddhists, etc. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Crusades were a response to hundreds of years of Muslim aggression. Instead, westerners are indoctrinated to believe that it was the Crusaders in their savagery and lust for violence who attempted to colonize "Muslim lands" such as Palestine.
3) Westerners are indoctrinated to believe that the slave trade was something invented by christian europeans. Instead, the slave trade was an abominable but relatively short aberration on the part of europeans. It is the muslims who continuously took slaves from the time of Mohammed until now (the UN expert report on slavery in 1951 said that 1 in 20 of the population of Arabia and Yemen were slaves in 1950). The west should be proud (and Britain in particular) that it spent 200 years wiping out the muslim trade in slaves. I'd like to see museums running exhibits of that, alongside their displays of how many Africans were previously crammed into Briitsh slaving vessels.
These things are not irrelevant. They are directly relevant. The inverse of the truth is propounded by schools, museums, communists, the media and Muslims, all in order to portray Muslims as peaceful victims, and to shame the Europeans into accepting the invaders and the destruction of western culture.
I can say this, because until 3 years ago I was one of those Dhimmi lefties who believed (and propounded) precisely the false histories I'm outlining above.
Until Muslims and westerners are educated about the shameful past of Islam, Muslims are not going to leave their ghetto mentality and their supremacism. If such an exodus from Islam does not happen in the west in the next 2 generations, then we are going to see civil war.
I see the spread of these truths as profoundly important to preventing a devastating future. The Museum of London has a huge permanent exhibition on slavery. Despite being visited mostly by Muslim school children, the exhibition contains not one word of the history of Islamic slaving.

The true history of Islam will either be known and accepted for what it is or it will be later experienced as the future for all non-Muslims. Just my two cents...
ReplyDeleteIf one were to study history, the only true victor against the Muslims was Vlad the Impaler. He learned how to destroy them by being like them, brutal and vicious. The Romanian people still view this Prince as a hero.
