On Facebook this morning, I commented on the meme posted below that a Muslim “serving” the poor that Islam makes and keeps impoverished is not serving but managing a subjected population—or one on the path to subjection. Islam is not an ideology of growth, save in two respects: multiplying the Muslim population and expanding Muslim hegemony over the Earth.
A Mamdani sycophant thought he was clever with his comment: “and coming ALL THE WAY FROM TENNESEE [sic]…. Get tf outta here!! Go milk a goat, bro. I’m in Manhattan drinking lattes and directing traffic.” He then went on to accuse me of being Jewish—as if that were a bad thing. (The goat reference in a back-and-forth on Islam was unintentionally humorous.)
I’m not in Tennessee, but if I were, I would live in a state with a significantly larger economic output per person, a highly diversified industrial base, and a standard of living that dwarfs the weighted average of the world’s fifty-seven Muslim-majority countries. Tennessee is on the move. If Tennessee were ever Islamized, Muslims would drive it into the ground.
The Christian world holds a much larger share of global nominal gross domestic product (GDP) and financial wealth than the Muslim world, even though both groups represent a similar portion of the global population. Only a handful of Muslim countries rank among the world’s largest economies, and this has more to do with control over the oil supply than with broad-based economic development.
Christian-majority populations hold a much larger share of total global household wealth, driven by the advanced economies of North America and Europe, whose history is rooted in Judeo-Christian culture, ethics, and thought. By contrast, Muslim-majority populations hold a significantly smaller estimated share of global wealth.
Muslim-majority countries—even those with comparatively high per capita income (a statistic that disguises the severe internal disparities in those countries)—are backwards. Not just economically, but culturally, as well. Indeed, the reason the Muslim world is economically backward is that it is culturally backward. And the reason for cultural backwardness is Islam.
There is a saying with which many of us are familiar: “Import the Third World. Become the Third World.” That’s not just clever wording. It’s a truism. Check the phrase on Google. Gemini will tell you that it’s a “far-right” political slogan and “anti-immigration” meme. There is nothing far-right about being selective about who we allow into our country.
(Note: If you ask ChatGPT to define “far-right,” it will emphasize— without prompting—that “right-wing” and “far-right” are not synonyms. “Someone can be strongly conservative, nationalist, religious, anti-communist, or opposed to immigration without necessarily being far-right.” ChatGPT is getting better at avoiding the ideological corruption of general knowledge. By contrast, Gemini appears overly dependent on Wikipedia.)
The slogan—“Import the Third World. Become the Third World”—captures an essential truth. We see the consequences of Muslim invasion and colonization across more than a dozen centuries of history. A man twists himself into knots denying the truth of Islam’s deleterious effects on human well-being. Such a man tells us that he is no friend to humanity. The man who cares about his children’s future minds the truth. Such a man is our friend.
Zohran Mamdani governs a city made wealthy by the principles and values inherent in the Judeo-Christian West. The Shi’a Muslim mayor intends to plunder that wealth to gain the sympathies of the poor, whom Islam beguiles with false promises. This is Islam’s strategy everywhere. A pseudo-populism, it conscripts the downtrodden and resentful. What Islam doesn’t tell the poor is that, whatever their current condition, they still have further to fall.
Readers should ask themselves why a religion that despises homosexuality and sees women as second-class citizens would stand on the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) platform. DSA, whatever the ulterior motive behind its politics, explicitly champions gay and women’s rights. Taking DSA at its word, its politics are antithetical to Islam.
This apparent contradiction, in turn, exposes the DSA. Why would a party that champions the aspirations of gays and women, knowing the attitude of Islam towards these groups, also champion Muslim candidates? That’s why one is right to suspect an ulterior motive behind DSA politics.
The ulterior motive behind both the DSA and Islam is the establishment of a totalitarian society in which the individual is absorbed into the collective and erased. If Islam wins, socialists will be erased, just as they were in the aftermath of the Iranian Islamic Revolution. But another force lies behind both of these totalitarian movements: transnational corporate power.
Islam and socialism, and the conscription of the poor in the Red-Green Alliance, could not appear as threats to human freedom if they did not advance the project to globalize the world and establish neo-feudalism. The goal of global elites is not to elevate the poor to a higher station, but to reduce the affluent to serfdom. The Red-Green Alliance bamboozles frustrated and gullible people for the sake of power and privilege with the rhetoric of class warfare. What the bamboozled don’t realize is that they are the class enemy.
