Blog/Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – We Need to be Worried About the Rise of Islam in the West.

In the year 732, Charles Martel halted the Islamic Expansion in Europe at the Battle of Tours, preventing the Islamic takeover of Western Europe. However, in recent decades, something strange has been happening. A little over a thousand years after the Battle of Tours, the Muslims are retaking Europe, with Britain being one of the most prominent examples of this as entire towns are beginning to look more like third-world countries, not Britain.

Meanwhile, across the pond, America hasn’t been exempted from this. While it’s certainly not as bad here as it is in Britain and other parts of Europe, we are facing a growing Muslim population which has taken over multiple cities, such as Dearborn, Michigan, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Paterson, New Jersey. In Texas, plans were made to build EPIC City, which would be completely run by Muslims and would be ruled by Sharia Law. Governor Greg Abbot quickly struck it down, saying, “Sharia Law is not allowed in Texas.”

Though these are only a few examples and some people might not think much of this, the truth is that this is a form of jihad. Islam, at its core, is not a gospel for individuals, but is a social gospel, as I’ve discussed earlier on this blog. For example, in Surah 22:47, Allah gives Muhammad (and other Muslims) permission to expedite the punishment (death and destruction) on the disbelievers. He alleges that they’ve been asking for it, which if you look at history, is untrue. Their only crime was not converting to Islam.

Further, Sharia Law is based on the teachings of the Quran and the Hadith. The way Muslims are commanded to spread Islam through jihad, or “struggle.” There are two types of jihads. The first is personal. That is, it’s the internal struggle to serve Allah to the best of your ability. Then there’s the second, more relevant one, which is focused on social reform in the name of Allah by whatever means possible. In the West, we most commonly think of this as being through war and conquest, and we would be partially right in thinking that (as in the earlier example). After all, that is historically how Islam and Islamic rule spread throughout the Middle East and into Europe over a thousand years ago. However, this second form of jihad also has other, more subtle tactics, from dawah (Islamic evangelism), to getting Muslims elected to office, to simply breeding out the infidels. In fact, Islam teaches that if a woman dies during or immediately after childbirth, she is a martyr and will go to heaven (the reward of the martyrs).

This more subtle form of Jihad is precisely what we’re seeing in Britain and now in America. According to Dr. Peter Hammond, author of the book Slavery, Terrorism and Islam, there are eight stages to this form of Jihad. First, is establishing a presence and a good rapport. This occurs when the Muslim population is under 2%. At this stage, Muslims try to pass off their religion as one of peace that’s totally not a threat to anything. Any violent Muslims are just extremists who have just hijacked the religion.

The second stage occurs when the Muslim population is at 2%-5%. This is when Muslims start proselytizing to minorities and people in prisons and gangs. Thus, they grow their numbers even more while continuing to advertise themselves as peaceful and helpful.

Things start to shift after they hit the 5% mark. At that point, the Muslim community has more influence. They start demanding things like halal (“clean”) foods in schools and supermarkets and start trying to enforce Sharia Law in their communities. Already, we’re seeing this being enforced in schools in cities like Dearborn, Minneapolis, and Paterson, and schools statewide in Illinois are mandated to provide halal food options. (New York is also working on a similar mandate).

After passing the 5% mark and into the 10% mark, Muslims gradually start becoming more militant, increasing crime and inciting riots as a way of forcing their demands to be met. One example of this comes from France (which is at the 8%-10% mark), where they have been facing violence from Islamic radicals. One case involved the murder of a tourist in central Paris by a young man of Iranian descent on December 2, 2023, to avenge the deaths of Muslims in the Middle East. That’s not even talking about this year’s riots in France.

After this milestone, things only get worse. At 20%-40%, jihad militias form, the rioting gets worse, killings become more common, and the persecution of Jews and Christians ramps up. At step five (40%-60%), terror attacks and massacres become common, and it’s essentially a civil war. At step six (60%-80%) Sharia Law is used as a weapon, sporadic ethnic cleansing occurs, and the Jizya (a tax on infidels) is enforced. If you are not Muslim, you will now be treated as a second- or third-class citizen. At step seven (80%-99%) intimidation, violent jihad, and increased ethnic cleansing and even genocide occurs. Finally, at 100%, it’s a fully Muslim country. However, the bloodshed doesn’t end there as they kill others who don’t believe in the state-approved version of Islam.

This is where the West is heading if we do not nip this in the bud now. No other religious group on Earth demands this type of accommodation from Western countries. The reason why the Muslims do it is because Muhammad never taught about a separation of the church and state. He wanted them to be combined because that’s how tyrants gain power. The more we allow the Muslim population to gain power, the quicker we descend into hell. By ignoring this takeover and making excuses for it, the West isn’t being tolerant and inclusive. Rather, it’s being naive. The rights you love and cherish will gradually vanish as Sharia takes over. The devil is on the doorstep, and we need to do something about it.

So how do we do something about it? How do we keep Islam from taking over the West?

First, be aware of what’s going on. Far too many people have their heads in the sand, and it’s time to wake up and call it out. Find out what’s going on and spread the word.

Second, we need to educate as many people as possible about Islam. This involves educating them on what it teaches, how it fails, and how Sharia will impact their rights. The internet has made this easier than ever, so utilize this tool.

Third, we need to educate Muslims about their own beliefs. Many Muslims don’t actually read the Quran. They mainly listen to what their teachers say, accepting it as fact. If we know how to show them how Islam is false, we can help slow the spread of Islam by making them question what the Quran teaches.

Finally, vote against policies that allow for the jihad to spread. Speak up. Stop caring if people call you “Islamophobic.” A phobia is an irrational fear. We have every reason to fear an Islamic takeover, for the sake of our freedoms, our families, and our futures. Charlie Kirk was right to say that Islam “is not compatible with Western civilization” and “is the sword the Left is using to slit the throat of America.” It’s time that we stand up and fight back using logic, reason, and the love of Christ. Remember, the Muslims themselves aren’t our enemies. They are human beings, too. It’s the religion that’s deceiving them and that’s eating away at our civilization that we’re fighting against.

Until next time,

M.J.
