What To Do About Islam’s Violence

What To Do About Islam’s Violence

Yes, yes, one hears endlessly that the Muslim Mainstream is Peaceful. Of course they are. They are in business and have good jobs and Peace is what they mean when they are talking about ‘not rocking the boat’, ‘not killing the goose that is laying their Golden Egg’. Yes, Islamic History is full of repeated examples of their Educated Schools trying to make Doctrinal Islam worthy and supportive of their flourishing Civilizations by establishing Moral Doctrines and layering some soothing Interpretations over all the Seeping and Simmering Violence embedded within the Koran. All of this was Noble and Worthy. Good Men trying to do a Good Thing. Admirable.

However, every new wave of Barbarians coming out of the hinter-country Hills, who would learn the most basic Arabic from those who knew barely more than the most basic Arabic, would insist that they needed no Doctrine, they needed no Enlightened Interpretations. Indeed, they would not understand it anyway, as it was far beyond their simple Readings. But, they would insist that they could read with their own two eyes how Mohamed their Great Prophet hated everybody and wanted everybody dead… all except those Faithful willing to do all the Specified Killing. Their Mullahs would open the Koran and point to the passages. And, yes, the passages are there. I’ve looked. The Koran, with as much respect as one can summon to say so, has serious moral problems.

It does not help that Islam has no Official Organization. Islam is largely a great deal like American Protestantism, where Religious Leaders are, well, Self Appointed. Yes, it is in some manner Democratic, that every so called Religious Leader has power in proportion to the number of those he has been able to convert to his Cause. Unfortunately, history shows us that Opportunistic Religious Leaders have the most ease in ‘Converting’ those of the lowest Education, those most easily manipulated. Also there is the Matter of the Rich and Powerful being able to greatly influence the Doctrines of these Community Religious Leaders, as we see in America, where Rich Corporate Republicans effectively hire the services of Ministers who can control the vote and political leanings of the poorest parishioners … or those who simply follow their Christian Heroes via television.

Islam, and American Protestantism, for that matter, need to Organize and Solidify Doctrine, and to positively STOP all those who attempt to Resurrect justifications for Violence out of Scripture. This might imply a great Civil War within Islam. But yes, the World must Insist. If Islam will not clean up its own House, then the World owes it to its own Security and Safety to knock down that House that is proving to be such a General Threat to the World Community as a Whole.

Seriously, let any body of Historians take a look at Islamic History and it will be obvious that Islam can not be at Peace with the World or even at Peace with itself. Then let Theologians take over and look at the Koran and it might appear obvious to them that the greatest difficulty is in rehabilitating the Koran itself. It is simply too True that the Prophet fulminated too often, shook his fist too often, and bore the Sword too often, all to be a creditable Religious Leader in regards to any Doctrines of Peaceful Coexistence.

And it is not very encouraging that it takes years of University Training to see how Islam is really a Peaceful Religion, but that the Hinterland Mullahs need only a fiery Sermon or two, from straight out of the Koran, with Quotes and everything, to show a village full of men that the Koran is just some great Death Warrant to be assigned to any convenient Enemy.

Maybe Islam needs to take a page from Mormon History – as the Mormons have never hesitated to rewrite their Scripture, melting the plates of all prior editions, even replacing old Family Coffee Table Bibles, so Islam might consider putting the Koran through a major Editing. Take a Page from Jewish Screenwriters in Hollywood who are satisfied if their finished product is only BASED on the Original. It might fix all of Islam’s problems if they could only just update the Koran, and root out every old edition. Ask the Mormons how they did it. But, then again, Mormons don’t have to worry about what individuals think, as they have a very strict Centralized Organization. Mormons are told what to think and they think it, or they lose their jobs and privileges, and nobody wants to be a normal person in Utah, on non-union slave wages and no human rights… not being Mormon and all. You know, after the World deals with Islam, it should consider the attack coming from Mormonism… not to Kill us, but to enslave us, in a very real sense. If Mormons wish to Utahize the World, then everybody should be really worried.

Anyway, the World needs to decide what to do about Islam. The Answer might not be very nice. The Best Thing would be for Islam to foresee this eventuality and take care of their own Problems before more Responsible Bodies have to step in and do it for them.

Oh, and it is a mistake for America to suppose that they are indispensable. The Arab World has PLENTY of money, and doesn’t need American Soldiers pretending somehow that they are shooting Muslims all the way on the other side of the World for the sake of American Freedom. The Saudi Oil Billionaires could bring in Larger Armies, cheaper, from all over the Third World and establish an Pan-Arab Islamic Region with only One Acceptable View of Islam, and that a Peaceful one… or the World would have to step in.

Yes, while it is nice to be Open and Tolerant, the World does not NEED Islam, and if Islam insists upon being a continual, even eternal THREAT to World Peace, well, let the Solution be quick, and if done well, in a hundred years our Children will never know there even was ever a problem (like on the American East Coast where nobody ever speaks of Indian Tribes)… nobody will ever ask about Islam except maybe some future history scholar looking for something obscure enough that nobody has already done dozens of doctoral treatises on the subject already. What a wonderful Subject – “The Disappearance of Islam”.
