It seems to me that Europe has all but failed when it comes to facing the threat of Islam. It almost seems to endorse Islam. Unfortunately, Europe has little or no desire to better understand the deep religious zeal that drives Islam or its history. It lives in a kind of dream world that doesn’t want to understand the threat Islam poses.
Even before the influx of Muslims into Europe, Europe was steadily moving away from religion towards a culture of nihilism in which life has little meaning beyond biological fitness. Also having an over skeptical attitude towards all religion in general and even the spiritual doesn’t help Europe to understand Islam.
With nihilism also comes an almost complete disbelief in the power of evil in which one lives contrary to one’s true nature. If, for example, man’s true nature is divine, then evil would be to live un-divinely desiring things that further the undivine life. Even on a human level, to live contrary to human life is also evil. One lives in an inhuman way by desiring—perhaps out of ignorance—things which make one more inhuman. Such inhuman people can be cruel and heartless or greedy and ruthless, for example.
Failing to understand evil, one is incapable of seeing the evil of Islam that it is neither divine nor human but rather a blind faith in what is undivine and inhuman. It is a tree that is said to bear good fruit and make one peaceful but, instead, the fruit causes one to become insane and violent.
In the U.S. there is still some organized resistance to the spread of Islam except among those who have subscribed to cultural Marxism which the old Soviet Union threw away only to be picked-up by the European intellectuals then shipped to American universities.
To rise up against Islam and hopefully to save Buddhism and Christianity and other faiths requires that we first see its evil which constitutes much of the history of Islam which in 1400 years managed to put some 270,000,000 humans to the sword including the fact that Islam was also the main supplier of slaves to Europe and the Americas.
it must be unfortunate living in an echochamber, this sense of nationalism that's brewing. filled with much misinformation. you linked breitbart , renewamerica, echochambers of ignorance, and than call my education a course for brainwashing? you must be kidding me. enjoy eating your nonsense,

very silly of you to categorize Islam as a religion of conquest. "Failing to understand evil, one is incapable of seeing the evil of Islam that it is neither divine nor human but rather a blind faith in what is undivine and inhuman". It is insolent of you to brush all of Islam without having the extensive historical knowledge. Have you read the Chachnama? Do you fully understand the roots that Islam emerged from? And if so, what is the fundamental evil that Islam operates on? Is the evil shared between all religions and humanity? Leaving the faith of Islam alone, how do you come to the conclusion that Islam is evil. ISIS? Barbarians have always existed, either christian, buddhist, muslim or chinese. This categorical mind of classifying race/religion under evil, not evil, so so, fundamentally is ignorant. it's a shame. even more of a shame that many of the links posted above supporting your statement are various echochambers that practicioners love to sit and listen too.

Hold your horse and put down your sword for a second. Many years in the US public school system has obviously brainwashed you.
The Zennist is correct in his assessment of islam though nowhere in the article he mentioned islam is a religion of conquest.
But since you mentioned it, it is certainly ia religion of conquest as depicted here is this URL,
you should read it fully and use your brain a little while you are at it;
https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/forced-conversion.aspx
Sure, you Westerners are indoctrinated from K-12 about islam. You were taught it is a religion of peace .....wait until its population surpass yours. And then, when sharia law takes over.....make sure your wife or mother or daughters wear the burqua when they step outside the house. If they don't wear them, they are seen as 'whores' and likely will get raped. It is just the way it is. And they likely will be stoned to death if they lay eyes on the handsome neighbors of yours, LOL
Further, interestingly enough, there are lot of scholars who have studied islam. They have lot of articles and a few even doubt muhamad is the real prophet;
http://www.answeringmuslims.com/2014/04/50-reasons-muhammad-was-not-prophet.html
Then there are articles about the 2 muhamad......one is the muhamad of mecca while the other the muhamad of medina. Certainly these followers couldn't answer which one they believe more than the other!
http://www.renewamerica.com/analyses/060630hutchison.htm
Also, read these confessions about a few ex-muslim who gave up their religion;
https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Comments_from_Former_Muslims
For now, if you like to defend these muslim, by all mean do it. Just leave my religion the heck alone and don't try to force a few of us Light beings to submit.
Cheers,

I am very sorry for the way you talk on the subject and the comments you recieve.I am
grateful to you for the blog and the zen insights-the repeating articles on muslim
what are supposed to offer?
thank you any way
George
Read this article fully and try to think critically about the topic;
http://www.vgweb.org/bsq/islambud.htm
Most Asian Buddhists, even the dull one who go to temple and play with chopstick fortune teller game, understand Islamic belief and practices are opposites of what the Buddha taught.
One of an extreme example, the koran verses clearly encourage the followers to, among other things, kill non-believers as part of Jihad. The Buddha never teaches such practice!
The people in the West can't think correctly anymore. They shred tears easily for pics that depict Syrian war dead (mostly caused by ISIS who are funded by the Western governments anyway) while ignoring their own women being raped by Muslim radicals (as happening in Sweden).
What more and what are happening right now?
In Western cities like in London, there are 'Sharia'/Muslim patrols going on right now. It is even tolerated by their own Western court;
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/11/22/german-court-says-islamic-sharia-patrol-legal/
If this keeps going, eventually sharia law will subvert the national laws of the host nations. And the West will become another Lebanon when these Muslim population surpasses the native population.
By then, the Western feminist women who detest their own Western men, would likely be stoned to death for minor infraction when Sharia law overtakes their own national laws.
As one scholar says the Muslim put time on the calendar while the West put time on the clock. 10, 15 years fro now, you might have Islamic Republic of Germany!
Or United Islamic State of Britain, or French Islamic Republic........!! sounds good?:)
