To understand the horror unfolding in the world of the third millennium, it is imperative that we in the West understand the nature of not only Islam, the primary abomination; we have to understand the nature of Religion. Because Western Civilization is fundamentally religious, that is, it believes in a God and his ostensible teachings which becomes a moral impediment in the struggle against the terror being inflicted by the Islamic Fascists characterized by Al Qaeda, Hezbollah and Hamas and the World Jihad.
The Jewish people invented Western Religion and the theory of the One God, Creator of the Universe. They did not invent religion per se, it had existed almost as long as man existed, from the primeval rain forests and man’s evolution from great apes; they simply used it as a tool for homogenizing their adherents with specific rules for living as one large family. One is not supposed to read their bibles literally, because taken literally the Bible is a morass of preposterous contradictions and impossibilities. It is the function of the Teachers to interpret the allegories of the adventures and parables inscribed in their particular bibles.
Ostensibly these interpretations lead mankind on the path of righteousness. Presumably without these teachings, man would have no moral direction for Life, and would thus kill and steal according the Law of the Jungle. The first bible, the Torah of the Jewish People, taught Law and Order. It also taught that education and knowledge were crucial to the entity endowed with a conscious, perceptive, conceptual brain. It taught that what we call work is actually Life.
Without work there is nothing produced. Work is the purpose of Life. The proceeds of work, money, which represents the effort and energy and intelligence and time expended in work; is the instrument by which men exchange the product of their work, and which gives those products their value. It is the legitimate and moral transaction of the suit maker buying shoes from the shoe maker. The Torah taught charity. It taught that the pauper cannot be perpetually supported by charity, but must be shown how to support himself.
The man who does not produce money, serves no purpose. Work can include the dispensing of knowledge, or a particular skill such as medicine or acting, for which people will pay with money earned at their particular jobs. The man who is non-productive, has not produced money by which to transact morally with his fellow men in a free and unencumbered marketplace, has not right to goods and services others have produced. If therefore, he is compelled to live on the munificence of others, anything he may buy with that money is not a legitimate or moral transaction. If he buys shoes with welfare money, he has in fact stolen those shoes since there has been no reciprocal exchange of earned values.
This is the economy that the Torah, in a convoluted manner taught. It is the precise morality that Jesus detested, and railed against. Jesus, like Karl Marx, never produced legitimate money in his life. Is it any wonder that they despised the morality of Capitalism? Is it any wonder that the Jewish People rejected Jesus as their Messiah? Where the Torah, in its way eulogized Life and Work and Money, the New Testament became the moral weapon by which the Indigent preyed on the producers of wealth, and lost their nobility in the process. And then along came Islam.
Muhammad the Illiterate read and studied both the Torah and the New Testament, glued them both together and came up with, you guessed it, the Koran, the final evolutionary step in the trilogy. Islam chose not to play games. Man, it teaches, is here for only one purpose, to praise Allah. Muslims, the followers of Islam, are called to prayer five times a day. In a curious aside, Muslims, in total submission to Allah, pray with their heads touching the ground, and their anuses aimed up at Allah’s Heaven. Because of this primary admonition, work seems to have become simply a basic imperative for survival so that the adherent can pray five times a day. Since there can be no other God before Allah, only Allah can be adored. This art, music, money, if honored and adored become Idols pre-empting Allah in the Muslim mind and must be vanquished. Now, left to their own devices as in Turkey or Indonesia, Muslims are productive. Not like the West perhaps, but by their own standards, it is possible they live respectable and comfortable lives.
However in 1979 Iran with the Islamic Revolution and the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini, the Rules Changed. That is the Beauty of the Koran. It has extreme versatility in its teachings. Depending on the Teacher, it can be interpreted this way, that way or the other way, and each interpretation can be a complete contradiction of the other two. Today, Osama bin Laden has interpreted it thus, Western Culture with its Cult of Wealth and Prosperity and Freedom is a direct affront to the teachings of Allah. It must be destroyed. Today, fundamentalist Islam is without conscience, without morality, without soul. It does not want to share in the pleasures of Western Culture, it wants to destroy it, but that is what Osama bin Laden, the primordial caveman, has decreed. I shall go into greater detail in my next offering. But if you are not frightened by the new Islamo-Fascism, you should be. The West invited their invisible zombie armies in, and they are plotting our destruction.
