I would be interested in arguments for the merits of Islam and/or why any non-Moslem would consider it a good thing if more Moslems lived in their town or neighborhood.

The basis of the obligation of jihad is the universality of the Muslim revelation. God’s words and God’s message is for all mankind; it is the duty of those who have accepted them to strive (jihada) unceasingly to convert or at least subjugate those who have not. This obligation is without limit of time or space. It must continue until the whole world has either accepted the Islamic faith or submitted to the power of the Islamic state. -- Islamic Jihad, A Legacy of Forced Conversion, Imperialism and Slavery by M. A. Khan, p. 53 (search for free pdf download available on internet)

Islam -- like most religions -- is not simply a peaceful faith misrepresented by extremists. The only problem with Islamic fundamentalism are the fundamentals of Islam. To call Islam a religion of peace ... is completely delusional. - Sam Harris, Neuroscientist, Stanford University

No other religion in Europe makes so many demands. No immigrant group other than Muslims is so strongly connected with claims on the welfare state and crime. No group emphasizes their differences so strongly in public, especially through women’s clothing. In no other religion is the transition to violence, dictatorship and terrorism so fluid.--Thilo Sarrazin, Executive Board of the Deutsche Bundesbank

I don't know. I think Judaism may. Find a prominent Jew that speaks out against illegal immigration or accepting "refugees" when they are talking about any other country other than Israel.

In many parts of Europe you can end up in jail for just discussing WWII.

james clerk-maxwellJames Clerk Maxwell 1831 – 1879.
An evangelical Protestant who learned the Bible by heart at age 14. Transformed our understanding of nature: his famous equations unified the forces of electricity and magnetism, indicating that light is an electromagnetic wave. His kinetic theory established that temperature is entirely dependent on the speeds of particles.
gregor mendelGregor Mendel 1822 – 1884.
A Roman Catholic Augustinian abbot. Founded the science of genetics; identified many of the mathematical rules of heredity; identified recessive and dominant traits.

ronald fisherRonald Fisher 1890 – 1962.
A devout Anglican: made religious broadcasts, and wrote religious articles. Unified evolution by natural selection with Mendel’s rules of inheritance, so defining the new field of population genetics. Invented experimental design; devised the statistical concept of variance.


bernhard riemannBernhard Riemann 1826 – 1866.

john daltonJohn Dalton 1766 – 1844.
A faithful Quaker who lived modestly. Dalton’s Atomic Theory is the basis of chemistry; discovered Gay-Lussac’s Law relating temperature, volume, and pressure of gases; discovered the law of partial gas pressures.
carl friedrich gaussCarl Friedrich Gauss 1777 – 1855.
A Lutheran Protestant who believed science revealed the immortal human soul and that there is complete unity between science and God. Gauss revolutionized number theory and invented the method of least squares and the fast Fourier transform. His profound contributions to the physical sciences include Gauss’s Law & Gauss’s Law for Magnetism.
charles barklaCharles Barkla 1877 – 1944.
A Methodist who believed science was part of his quest for God. Discovered that atoms have the same number of electrons as their atomic number and that X-rays emitted by excited atoms are ‘fingerprints’ for the atom.
george washington carverGeorge Washington Carver 1864 – 1943.
A Protestant Evangelist and Bible class leader whose faith in Jesus was the mechanism through which he carried out his scientific work. Improved the agricultural economy of the USA by promoting nitrogen providing peanuts as an alternative crop to cotton to prevent soil depletion.
francis collinsFrancis Collins 1950 – present.
Atheist turned devout Christian. Invented positional cloning. Took part in discovery of the genes for cystic fibrosis, Huntington’s disease, and neurofibromatosis. Directed National Human Genome Research Institute for 15 years.
Ernest WaltonErnest Walton 1903 – 1995.
A devout Methodist, who said science was a way of knowing more about God. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics after he artificially split the atom and proved that E = mc2.

See link for more.

And let’s not forget that George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, JFK, and pretty much every president in modern history claim some form of Christianity. So it would seem that if America was ever looked up to by he world it was at least in part due to the good influence that Christians had in its foundations. And if America falls or declines, it would seem that it is that those Christian influences have faded or been replaced with lies and wokeism.

Well, what can they do when the employer is religious institution or the one controlled by the religion. You have to act like others to socialize at least to a degree. The imaginary concept of "God" is created by men to get power over the others and loot wealth, take advantage of women and children to begin with. Islam is the worst form of the religion.

Like @gabbar says "The religion is the state, the state is the religion" it turns a human into lowest form on the planet. I myself witnessed the massive crimes and violence by Muslims in India. They are minority ~15% but more than 2/3rd of violent crimes committed by them. They literally create a fake documents in metros and occupy properties and kill if anyone resists. No one is dare to approach court if anyone does Indian sharia law and court ignore victims by dragging the case into decades. No politician, police, court will help the victims. Media never ever mention about Islamic crimes since doing so comes with hefty price. Islam is spreading to the west to force the civilization to take a uturn.

Michael Savage, Longtime Radio host, banned in the UK precisely for his stance on immigration and assimilation. He just lost his nationally syndicated show a few months ago, which in the 90s and 2000s was 3rd only behind Rush and Art Bell's Coast to Coast, precisely because of his unwoke, anti-SJW stances on everything and despite his huge popularity and multitude of Broadcaster awards.

David Horowitz, NYT Bestselling Author and rabid anticommunist with (scores?) of books on the US Radical Left.

Mark Levin, Longtime national radio and tv host.

Ben Shapiro, another podcaster and former Breitbart bigwig.

Andrew Breitbart himself, proto-MAGA activist and of course father of Breitbart.

Boris Epsheyn, Trump 2016 and 2020 Special Advisor.

Yoram Hezony is an Academic Pro-Nationalist who writes about immigration extensively and it's danger to Nationalism:
https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/37977136-the-virtue-of-nationalism

That's right off the top of my head.

The #1 sponsor of wonton immigration is the Jesuit Order, which has dozens of Casas de Migrantes in Mexico to assist illegals from all over the world to enter the USA, feeding them, arranging transportation, and lodging them. Not only do Jesuit Colleges in the US endorse all CRT and Wokeness, with many Jesuit scholars attacking Jordan Peterson (!!!), but they fire Catholic Professors who simply explain the Church Teachings in neutral tones. In Europe the Catholic Church and especially Pope Francis have been extremely aggressive in encouraging immigration and shaming those opposed to mass migration from the MENA in particular.

Once upon a time, every American and British child learned about Guy Fawkes the terrorist who tried to destroy parliament and the King, the Jesuit Order and it's consistent attacks on not just Anglo-Saxons and Protestant realms, but it's desire to impose oligarchical theosocialism everywhere. That ended after WW2.

The story of Elisbeth's Spymaster Walsingham fighting off Jesuit subversion from Cardinal Allen and their Irish Agents Fitzmaurice and Desmond and their promises to Mary Queen of Scots is a true story Spy Novel. Walsingham also arranged Drake's raid on the Spanish Armada when it was assembling in Spain, and his spy network came up with crucial information on stopping the wicked Tyrant Phillip II, terror of the Netherlands.

Jesuits have been banned scores of times from countries, most of them Catholic, for interfering with politics and trying to install absolute Monarchs and eliminate any Diet, Estate, or Parliament. They like to accuse the Jews of what they themselves do and have done to them.

Book recommendation for Walsingham and all the Shennanigans of that era:

Which starts with the Saint Bart's massacre of Protestants including French Hugenot Officers and even Englishmen with passports brutally murdered on orders of the French Monarchs.

Has anybody else noticed the following? The Muslims do not endorse, promote, protect or create western culture. They are making a way for themselves and nobody else. Muslims feel that Westerners and our liberal freedoms are corrupting the planet. They have no sense of patriotism to the western countries that they were born or reside in. It matters not to them if the nations are Belgium, the Netherlands, France, the UK, the USA, etc. Western nations that have fed, clothed, cared for them and their families. These people do not have loyalty for those cultures. They will bite the hand that feeds them. It is the Muslim way. Seif Al-Din Ansari wrote "Allah made annilating the infidels one of his steadfast decrees". Afghanistan Taliban are acting in perfect accord with the Qur'an and Shari'a law. They do not wish to co-exist with you. Muslim education, starting with the youngest child, is very anti-Israel AND anti-American. Terrorists are imbedded with their societies. They will continue to attack western targets. They have no choice. Their God/religion/dogma is first, before anything else. The Muslim leadership do not wish to die for their beliefs. But, expect followers to make the sacrifice. In the USA they are quiet for now. But as their population increases, their voices will be louder. Meanwhile, they are popping babies out like a bread toaster.

This is not a game. The very real consequences of not answering this question are playing out around the world and perhaps in a neighborhood near you. So, no this is not a game.

Why post on a thread if the post is not going to address the topic?

We have enough trolls here on Patnet, don’t need another self absorbed attention whore. Why else would someone post 5 articles a day or refuse to address the central topic of a thread... an yet insist on posting irrelevant quotations from people who have no understanding of what they said in the quotation?

Let the religion (including atheism) without sin cast the first stone!

Most religious people of kind heart just ignore the suggestions to commit atrocities suggested by their holy books (like stoning), and live by the metaphorical reinterpretations by the later sages that urge them to love their neighbor, fight a spiritual war for good within their own hearts, and let God sort out the infidels and heathens in the afterlife.

A sense of community and pride in one’s tradition is a stabilizing force. There are ex-patriot ethnic groups that happen to be Muslim, thinking of the Iranians in particular, with their own larger culture and history, and enrich the experience of living in America. The call to literal Jihad is the furthest thing from their mind. Mmmm koubideh and Persian cucumbers! I don’t know about you but I’m glad they set up shop close to my home.

“All meats are halal.”

Here’s an article about their reopening three years ago.

https://www.paloaltoonline.com/blogs/p/2019/02/14/rose-international-market-returns-to-mountain-view?source=patrick.net

The kitchen, led by Rose Market's longtime Iranian chef, is again churning out kebabs, koubideh, khoresh (stews), tahdig (crispy-bottomed rice), wraps, salads and other dishes. Rose International Market will now serve chicken koubideh, a kebab made from ground chicken, onion and spices, which customers had often requested at the old store, according to staff. 

You can order kebabs with lavash bread, on top of white basmati rice or as a "super sandwich," wrapped with vegetables, onion and tomato. All meats are halal.

The produce section includes both standard and specialty produce, such as Persian cucumbers, sour cherries (when in season) and green almonds.

That was my original experience with Iranians.

Sadly, there are a lot of Tudeh fucks that have come in these past years. One of them is a state rep, Anna Eskamani.

Another Tudeh type ran in Virginia, but lost. Forgot her name.
