Islam and Desertification

When we think of the Muslim conquests, we tend to picture them as organized mass battles like those that took place between rival European armies. Such battles did indeed occur, but they were the culmination of a protracted process that might take decades or centuries to unfold before the climactic encounter in which the infidels were militarily defeated by the armed might of the mujahideen.

The process began with hijra (or hegira), the Islamic migration mandated by the Prophet. The faithful were required to leave their home region and migrate to infidel areas — the Dar al-Harb, or House of War. When their numbers were still small, they were ordered to remain meek and unaggressive, appearing to comport themselves in ways that the kuffar considered acceptable. When the Muslim population became large enough, however, the soldiers of Allah began to plunder and raid their neighbors, driving them out or enslaving them and confiscating their assets.

Behind all of these mechanisms of conquest — the hijra, the raiding, the plundering, the enslaving, and the final victory of the jihad — lies the peculiar Islamic concept of insh’allah, literally “if Allah so wills.” This is the source of the characteristic Arab fatalism. Nothing that occurs can happen without Allah willing it. Victory or defeat in battle, success or failure in business, the outcome of any productive enterprise: all of this depends solely on the will of Allah, and the individual believer is powerless to alter the course of events.

The underlying fatalism of insh’allah tends to discourage any systematic and extended enterprises that might benefit the community. The result is that any area where Islam holds sway eventually becomes a wasteland.

We can see evidence of this process in the banlieues of France, in Banglatown in East London, in the Moroccan ghetto of Molenbeek, and in the violent chaos of Rosengård. These are examples of the urban desertification that is the inevitable result of Islamization.

The corollary, of course, is that the Islamic denizens of such wastelands must eventually move on to new regions to plunder, which means that the rest of Western Europe has a glorious Islamic future yet to look forward to.

Excellent rationalization for one more reason to reject “diversity’ as preached and practiced by the Powers That Be. There are other more obvious reasons to reject “diversity.” Knife murder, grooming gangs, and rape of members of the indigenous population.
