A three-step political fantasy to protect Americans and help Islam finally to become a religion of peace

President Obama's White House statement on Aug. 28 was clear on two things: "ISIS must be defeated" and "we don't have a strategy yet."

With this in mind, let me offer a modest proposal that requires no military escalation, no additional defense spending, and no sacrifice of the American troops in the Middle East.

The president has already recognized the beheading of an American journalist as a terrorist attack on the United States and is said to be considering all options to protect Americans from the ISIS threat reaching the U.S. So let's take him at his own word and propose that his list of "all options" should begin with (1) an end to political correctness and (2) a moratorium on pandering to immigrant groups in order to win elections for the Democrats.

Let's call them Option One and Option Two. Like it or not, they must be in place before the president can even begin to think about protecting our borders and profiling terrorists at the airports in order to prevent any of the 3,000 members of ISIS who have U.S. or European passports from slipping into America, where they know they have an extensive and well-funded support base.

Which brings us to Option Three: extinguish their support base inside the U.S.

Limited airstrikes overseas have only limited benefits. Under the circumstances, it is similar to shooting at one tentacle of a global monster whose other tentacles have long ago worked their way into America and are recognized by the U.S. government as legitimate entities.

Terrorism in itself is never a goal, but rather a means in the arsenal of an entity whose other means include media, economic, cultural, and political manipulations that can bring down our society more effectively than terrorism alone.

It is this entity than needs to be killed, and here's how the president can do it if he is really serious.

Let Obama continue praising Islam as a constitutionally protected religion of peace. At the same time he must outlaw Sharia, stripping this pseudo-religious practice of the First Amendment protection. The president must honestly and officially acknowledge that Sharia is, in fact, a hostile, supremacist political ideology of total domination in a purely physical, not spiritual realm.

Let me explain.

How would you like to live in a world ruled by an unelected dictator, where religious beliefs of one denomination are enforced by the state, while all other beliefs are either forbidden or subject to a heavy taxation. Women are decreed as inferior creatures by the government; they are barred from education and must cover themselves lest they invite legitimate harassment and rape by superior males. Charging interest on a loan is a crime and therefore no one gives loans, at least not openly. Music and alcohol are forbidden, but the penal code includes public amputation of arms and legs, as well as stoning to death.

It will be a world of total conformity where all thought is regimented by a few religious texts, which also regulate your daily activities, from nutrition to personal hygiene. The citizens' highest duty is to impose their way of life on the outsiders, and the highest virtue is death in the name of these ideals. Questioning these rules is a crime and leaving the state religion means death.

What if you were promised that if you submit to such a political system, you will automatically obtain a superior "member" status with unlimited rights to dominate the inferior "non-members"? And if you were to agree, would you be able to describe your motives as purely spiritual and keep a straight face?

There is a big difference between religion (a system of faith and worship) and political ideology (a blueprint for a certain social order). Not knowing the difference is no excuse, and delusions of grandeur don't make one the master of the universe.

In order to exercise their supremacy, the "believers" must first build a society based on the above blueprint, with an oppressive state to enforce their "right" to dominate others. This alone blows their religious cover and places their intentions into the realm of utopian political ideologues. Their inability to create a functioning civilization with a full set of the above rules has been a source of frustration, resentment, and violent outbursts throughout the centuries.

The latest attempts include the Taliban in Afghanistan, Boko Haram in Nigeria, and most recently the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) who, in spite of their "religious" name, are driven by a very earthly goal of forcing everyone, through mass murder and terror, to submit to their supremacy. In this, they enjoy a broad support of "true believers" worldwide, who flock to the Islamic State from all corners of the earth, hoping to get their piece of the pie in the utopian totalitarian theocracy they call the Caliphate.

In this and other scenarios, Sharia has always served as a blueprint for a brutal supremacist theocracy. Given that the White House has rejected the word "Islamism" because it might give Islam a bad name, why not actually help Islam save face and declare all past bad behavior to be the result of Sharia?

Once dealing with Sharia as a hostile political ideology becomes fair game, this problem can finally get the treatment of the Ebola epidemic that it deserves. Like the Ebola virus, Sharia is lethal and is prone to deadly outbreaks - as seen in New York, London, Madrid, and thousands of other places around the world, taking hundreds of thousands of lives.

Just like Ebola requires careful quarantine, so does Sharia. Think of the Boston Marathon bombing as a Sharia outbreak. Think of the Fort Hood shooting as a Sharia outbreak. Once the culprit is known and isolated, it will only be a matter of time before all the hot spots are identified, quarantined, and extinguished.

Once the United States rids itself of the Sharia virus, others will follow, leaving fewer and fewer host bodies for Sharia to incubate and destroy.

In case anyone would rush to judgment and label this modest proposal "Islamophobic," consider that the official separation of Islam-the-religion from Sharia-the-totalitarian-ideology would benefit the proverbial peaceful and law-abiding Muslims in more ways than pandering to Islamic radicals ever could. With Sharia out of the way, Islam can finally have a chance to become a religion of peace in real life and not only in the speeches of double-speaking clerics and politicians.

The Democrats are known for their amazing skills to turn crises into opportunities. The ISIS crisis may not have been intentional, but here's a real opportunity to not let it go to waste - without leaving the comfort of the Oval Office or a golf course as the case may be.

Let's face it: a Republican president would never be able to do any of this effectively, lacking the support of the media and the cultural establishment. President Obama, on the other hand, is the darling of the media, academia, and the arts, which makes him uniquely positioned to employ these options and save the world from the threat of Islamic terrorism once and for all.

If Obama really meant what he said about considering all options, he should be using his phone and his pen right now.

Comrade Red Square, in this I must respectfully dissent. There can be no such thing as coexistence with Islam as it exists today.

If two men are locked in a room with no exits and one of them wants to destroy the other, it matters nothing if one of them doesn't want to fight.

Comrade Red Square,

You are overlooking the fact that we are already rapidly approaching consummation of Peace with Islam by 2016 through Dear Leader Obama's 2008 Strategic Plan for Transforming America from being the #1 Global Aggressor for American Exceptionalism (which the Neanderthal Reagan called "Freedom") Against Tyranny into becoming the #1 Global Agressee:

Comrade Square, there is only one observable flaw with your modest proposal: Sharia is an integral part of Islam. It is a cohesive political-religious system. Islam overarches every element of the Islamist's life. As you are aware, “Islam” means “Submission”: of the will, the body, every aspect of the submitter, to Allah – who is most assuredly not the God of the Jews or the Christians. And only Muhammad has been authorized, among all humans, to reveal the way of Allah. The Muslim faithful know this. That is why the truly faithful Muslim could never divorce himself from Sharia, any more than he could divorce himself from the Koran (Quran, Quron, however we spell it today), since Sharia, “the right path”, comes from the Koran and Muhammad's teachings.

A primarily accurate description of Sharia can be found here.

However, there is a difference between Shariah and the Koran, and our western concepts of law, that make it more difficult for the Western mind to blend the two as do Muslims. This is our concept of inviolability. A true Christian believer will tell you that the Bible is the Word of God, and even though different translations will render the same truth in slightly different flavors of language, as long as the translation is faithful to the original texts, the meaning of God's Word is still expressed accurately. Indeed, from this Word, especially the Ten Commandments, come the principles of Western jurisprudence. However, neither our (nor any) Western legal systems claim to be sacred writ (if they do, they lie).

In this sense, Sharia is similar to Western law – it changes over time. But unlike Western law, Sharia is considered to be derived from the Koran and Muhammad, and as such it is considered holy writ. So whatever is “legal” through Sharia, is the will of Allah.

This is where Western and Islamic cultures diverge and why we have such difficulty understanding the Muslim need to incorporate Shariah: In the West, we do not follow man's will, expressed through man's law, to obey God. We obey men's laws out of respect for our Creator Who tells us to do so, as long as those laws do not conflict with His Law. Our secular humanists have no concern for God's Law, but even so, sometimes they will acquiesce to man's law. But what we so often fail to recognize in the West, because it is foreign to our concept of law, is that a Muslim must at the very least acquiesce (and if it is known that he merely acquiesces he is suspected of disloyalty to Islam) to Sharia if he is to follow Allah's will, and if he does not follow Sharia, he is at best a secularized Islamist who needs to be corrected in the faith, and at worst, a Muslim in name only, a heretic worthy to be killed for disobeying Allah's law. We see how this plays out in the fighting between, for example, the Shia and Sunni sects over differing Haddiths, which pertain largely to matters of Islamic law and traditions.

We can say we will not accept Sharia while we say we embrace Islam. That is like telling your wife that you will not tolerate her body from the waist down, but you will embrace the rest of her.

However, you acknowledge that you have written a fantasy, and in that fantastic continuum, such a divorce would doubtless prove workable. And indeed, Dear Imperial Leader 0bama (APBUH) would doubtless enact and enforce it immediately. And...

Sorry, I went away for a bit there.

Comrades Lev Terman, Kook and Redumdimski,

You all take my breath away. I wish I could speak as clearly about this as you have. But, I do get your drift. More than just your drift, actually.

And we all love our Comrade Red Square as we say these things. How wonderful he is to allow this, encourage it, even. I love The People's Cube.

Dear Pamalinsky, I humbly beg your forgiveness. It is the furthest thing from my mind (Oops! Party requires us to abolish those) heart (very big and beating loud for all to hear) to ever express myself clearly. To do so would be most unProgressively unProggish. Drifting is indeed what I delight in. Drifting on a cloud of sweet socialist supremacy. Dreaming of a world ruled by Sharia. Which in fact is most equally identical to our Progressive theories of law and government in its essential points.

While we're here, please join me in embracing Comrade Red Square, even though he doesn't suck.

Here's another cup (fine china I stole acquired from Tovarichi last night) of Leninade for your refreshment.

On the contrary, comrade: as Dear Leader (PBUH) has clearly demonstrated, if the pacifist refuses to have a strategy, the fight is already over. The aggressor cannot counter a strategy that doesn't exist and this, necessarily, leaves him confused and demoralized. The pacifist wins the moral high bunk and can, therefore, smugly, declare victory over the aggressor who will be reduced to weeping in the corner.

In addition, The Party™ machine can be launched into action with various social programs instituted to alleviate the suffering of the unfortunate aggressor including, but not limited to, crisis counseling, disability payments for PTSD and a participation award declaring him a winner for playing fair. These out reach programs will be instrumental in solidifying electoral support for The Party™ thus displaying just how politically brilliant having no strategy is.

Please, dear Comrades, refer yourselves to my earlier post:

https://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog ... 14810.html

Alexander is talking directly, and I mean directly, about what is happening today. Same shit, different day. Same talk, same diversion. Exactly same words. I have seen this link in a few posts lately. Let's make it viral!

Do yourselves a favor by reading/listening to this! You won't regret it. You will know there it a way out of this nightmare.

Love,

Pamalinsky
