THE FIVE STAGES OF ISLAM

by Richard Butrick

Forget the Five Pillars[1] of Islam. It is the Five Stages of Islam that threaten the fundamental freedoms of Western Democracy. Freedoms which include freedom of thought, expression, and association and the crucial derived right of freedom of the press. We should never forget that "Islam" means submission -- the opposite of self-determination and Enlightenment values.

Six years ago Dr. Peter Hammond published[2] a remarkable book which included a statistical study of the correlation between Muslim to non-Muslim population ratios and the transition from conciliatory Islam to fascist Islam. The stages are the same in 2011 but the demographics have changed to show an alarming progression. Many European nations and the U.S. are on the cusp of moving to a higher bracket. The demographics change but the story is the same. First comes the taqiyya and[3] the kitman; then comes the Sword of Islam. Imam[4] Rauf, the Ground Zero Mosque promoter, is the current master of taqiyya. He has gulled everyone from Bloomberg[5] to Maureen Dowd[6] of the NYT -- who fanaticizes over male Muslims. Expect doppelgangers of Khomeini for stage 5 and Islamic PEACE at last.

Stage 1. Establish a Beachhead

Population density at 2% (US, Australia, Canada)

Muslims are conciliatory, deferential but request harmless special treatment (foot bath facilities, removal/elimination of that which is offensive to delicate Muslim sensibilities -- like walking dogs near Mosques).

Stage 2. Establish Outposts

Population density 2%-5% (UK, Germany, Denmark).

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. A recent example[7] is that of Sheikh Abdullah el-Faisal who is back in Jamaica after being kicked out of the UK. Sound harmless? Read on:

The dispatch, dated February 2010, warns that that Jamaica could be fertile ground for jihadists because of its underground drug economy, marginalized youth, insufficient security and gang networks in U.S. and British prisons.

Stage 3. Establish Sectional Control of Major Cities

Population density 5%-10% (France, Sweden, Netherlands)

First comes the demand for halal food in supermarkets, and the blocking of streets for prayers; then comes the demand for self rule (within their ghettos) under Sharia. When Muslims approach 10% of the population the demands turn to lawlessness. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any criticism of Islam results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam. In France which may be over the 10% range, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos.[8] There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrassas. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death.

Stage 4. Establish Regional Control

Population density 20%-50% (Europe 2020?)

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.

Stage 5. Total Control, Brutal Suppression, and Dhimmitude

Population density > 50%.

Unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and jizya, the tax placed on infidels. As Muslim population levels increase and all infidels cower in submission there will peace at last. Dar al-Islam is achieved and everyone lives under Sharia and the Koran is the only word.

Our current Western world leaders are suckered by taqiyya and kitman and steering us into stage 3. Allen West[9] seems to get it but I can't see that any of the crop of current GOP contenders really get it. Fear of bigotry at stage 2 is the Islamists' greatest weapon. Crucified on the cross of bigotry -- is that the future of the Western democracies? Bigotry is only bigotry if it is out of touch with reality and it is the suckers who believe the stage 1-2 peace pitch of Islam who are the ones who are out of touch with reality -- not to mention our mesmerized President. The first GOP candidate who announces to Imam Rauf and his supporters, "Fine. A Mosque at ground zero. But how about a cathedral in Mecca first? It is part of our Christian outreach program of bridge building." will be the first to get it and a big boost in the polls.

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Some comments to the initial publication in American Thinker added useful information:

It is unfortunate to note but there has grown to be very much an auxiliary and reinforcing insidious military side of these 5 stages which is just as dangerous. And no, I am not referring to the military of any Muslim country or counties, as a Muslim military's troops are, at least generally speaking, quite inferior. Specifically I am referring to the almost $800billion/year military of the United States of America, more specifically to the generals running it, especially the generals of the U.S. Army. Men like top Generals George "[Muslim] Diversity Uber Alles" Casey, David "Holy Qur'an/Have a Wonderful Ramadan/It's Israel's Fault" Petraeus, and even down to one stars like Joseph "We may never know why [Fort Hood]" DiSalvo. Then there is also their insidious, outdoing even most all Muslims, pro-Islam propaganda where they have been telling us more and more for the last 10 years now that Muslims, except for some few "extremists" who clearly don't understand Islam at all, want freedom and liberty and human rights -- just like us -- that most Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan (if even in fundamentalist Afghanistan presumably everywhere) and now in Libya too [McCain's Heroes] are our allies, friends and compatriots for freedom and liberty and human rights. If people believe them, and many do because they wear the uniform and have stars, how can they see Islam as much of a threat? I see them as already being somewhere around an equivalent of Stage 4, and quite willingly so, and hence a great danger to America and Western Civilization and to their own troops.

I am reminded of Cicero's warning, "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor ...... A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the carrier of the plague."

PDC, you just pointed to the heart of the problem with... "They are instantly labeled as racist, kook, right-wing, fringe types." Who is it that applies the labeling of every entity for us? Who is it that describes for us who is good and who is bad. Who is it that tells us what to fear and what we should embrace. Once that voice has dominion over the minds of the people they can be lead at will to what ever place it chooses to go. With scant resistance over the years the heavily funded and vastly populated mainstream media with an agenda based on progressive movement toward the socialism which failed in the Soviet Union gained prominence and control in our morning papers and evening news. This gave birth to thousands of groups which became large organization with tentacles reaching every corner of our nation and into every branch of government and especially into our schools and universities. Unfortunately, this godless cancerous infection which survived by deception and feeds on ill placed compassion in the minds of good hearted souls, has become so rooted in American culture and accepted as a valid alternative to Judeo-Christian morality and a capitalistic society that, as it has always become necessary, only a revolution of sorts by the people can produce a cure. The recent words of the infamous Nancy Pelosi gave us our country's prognosis when she said "Elections don't really mean that much anymore". Sadly this is quite the case as we are sliding the slippery slope to Obama's fundamental changing of America with the full support of Soros's mainstream media and the once proud Democratic Party

Political correctness is a bondage of the mind; a chaining of the intellect; a leash for mental slavery; a stifling, and ultimately a decapitation, of human liberty itself. It is, in clear and plain fact, a regression back to the Inquisitions of the Dark Ages. To paraphrase Jorge-Luis Borges, political correctness fosters oppression, political correctness fosters servitude, political correctness fosters cruelty, perhaps even more abominable is the fact that it fosters idiocy. To the human mind it is the plague.

When George Bush kept referring to Islam as the "religion of peace" it made me sick. How stupid can our leaders be? They prattle on and on about immigration reform while letting the enemy establish beachheads in the U.S. One of the reasons we have had so few terrorist attacks since 9/11 is that the Muslims have discovered that it is much easier to just move into a city and take it over.

Al-Qaeda chiefs reveal world domination design"

THE al-Qaeda master plan to take over the world and turn it into an Islamic state has been revealed for the first time.

For a new book, Jordanian journalist Fouad Hussein interviewed top lieutenants of the terrorist network, including the mastermind of many atrocities in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Al-Zarqawi — al-Qaeda's Second Generation is published only in Arabic, but could be translated into English.

Hussein says al-Qaeda views its struggle as a long-term war with seven distinct phases.

Phase one is the "awakening" in the consciousness of Muslims worldwide following the September 11, 2001, suicide attacks. The aim of the attacks was to provoke the US into declaring war on the Islamic world and thereby mobilising the radicals.

Phase two is "Opening Eyes", the period we are now in and which should last until 2006. Hussein says the terrorists hope to make the "Western conspiracy" aware of the "Islamic community" as al-Qaeda continues to mould its secret battalions ready for battle.

Phase three, "Arising and Standing Up", should last from 2007 to 2010, with increasingly frequent attacks against secular Turkey and arch-enemy Israel.

Phase four, between 2010 and 2013, will see the downfall of hated Arab regimes, including Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Oil suppliers will be attacked and the US economy will be targeted using cyber terrorism.

Phase five will be the point at which an Islamic state, or caliphate, can be declared — between 2013 and 2016.

Phase six, from 2016 on, will be a period of "total confrontation". As soon as the caliphate has been declared, the "Islamic army" will instigate the "fight between the believers and the non-believers" that has so often been predicted by al-Qaeda's leader, Osama bin Laden.

Phase seven, the final stage, is described as "definitive victory".

Hussein writes that in the terrorists' eyes, because the rest of the world will be so beaten down by the "One-and-a-half billion Muslims", the caliphate will undoubtedly succeed. This phase should be completed by 2020, although the war should not last longer than two years.
