AMERICAN ISLAM?
A big part of the self-reputation of many Muslims living in the West, mainly those who were born and raised here, is that they’re good and decent human beings by virtue of Islam. But in reality, these ‘Muslims’ reject Islamic values and embrace Western ones, whether they admit it to themselves or not. They have the luxury to credit Islam without having to suffer under Islam, under its life-suffocating Sharia Law. And 'their' Islam, their ‘version’ of Islam, is sometimes fancifully referred to as ‘American Islam’, as if there exists such an entity apart from Islam itself. As if Islam is dynamic enough to have all kinds of different versions existing simultaneously in the world, while maintaining some sort of cohesion. This is the kind of dangerous nonsense that allows Islam into our culture as if it were just another part of the melting pot that can be integrated. [At this moment, I can’t help but think of just one of the many threats in the Koran, one where there are to be pots of scalding water poured over the heads of Infidels who are suffering in hell for all eternity for not believing Mohammed’s lies. Ch. 44: verse: 43.]
These Muslims in name only have been naturally edified by a culture that is completely foreign to the one they came from. But it was not a conscious decision to move away from Islamic values and embrace non-Islamic ones. That process was as natural as can be by virtue of simply being exposed to them. They’ve taken their natural adoption of non-Muslim values for granted and they’ve unfairly attributed these values and the virtues that come from them to Islam itself, making Islam look good by association. A good Muslim, by our standards, is a bad Muslim by Islamic standards. Western Muslims have to appreciate the stark difference between the Values of the West and Islamic Values and stop pretending that they’re one and the same, or that they derive from Islam. It's simply not true, and one of the dangers that this poses for us in our defense against Jihad is that objectively good human beings who identify themselves as Muslim give Islam a good face, a good name, one far better than it deserves, giving us a false impression of what we're facing, with just another excuse not to face it.
