The Death Pangs of Dying Religion
Whilst especially the right wing mainstream media may be focused on the threat Islam poses to the West, the reality is the exact opposite as I have countless times written of over the years in that the likes of ISIS / Islamic State represent the death pangs of a Dying religion rather than being a threat to the West. Just as some 500 years ago Christianity literally went medieval on all those whose beliefs contradicted Christian doctrine, committing many to imprisonment and many more to death, including prominent scientists such as Galileo, all because they would make statements such as that the Earth is not Flat or not at the centre of the universe. And so it is for Islamic State and others such as the regime in Saudi Arabia, who are Islam's versions of the Spanish Inquisition, desperately attempting to reinforce a crumbling Islamic view of reality that is fast disintegrating in the face of a flood of enlightenment that muslims tend to become exposed to as they educate themselves.
The inconvenient truth is that most muslims in the West are NOT practicing muslims, instead are culturally muslims i.e. as most Christians in the West are not practicing Christians as evidenced by the fact if Jesus Christ ever was to return during December his first words would likely be 'WTF?' when he sees the Christmas trees, lights, partying and month long shopping sales frenzy in the cathedrals of consumerism, all in his name. Similarly Islam, at least in the West for most muslims has become a religion of just going through the motions of rituals, customs and celebrations.
So in reality 60% of western muslims are NOT practicing muslims with even a good 1/5th of muslims in muslim countries tending only to go through the motions of being muslim i.e. that in reality, deep down don't really believe anymore but just go through the motions for keeping up appearances in a case of 'the emperor has no clothes'. And the same holds true for all major religions, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism etc, all to varying degrees in the violent death pangs of dying religions.
For instance even the most diehard Islamist's, the Saudi's are routinely exposed as being hypocrites, drinking and partying in secret whilst publically prancing around in white robes, preaching to the ignorant, uneducated masses in other third world muslim nations to do this that and the other in the name of islam which they don't tend to practice themselves. And it is that which the likes of Islamic State are a reaction to i.e. the death pangs of a Dying religion, desperately trying to reinforce ideology over reality Spanish Inquisition style existing in voids such as Syria.
I have covered this topic many times in over the years, such as following the January 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack -
13th Jan 2015 - Islamic World Transition From the 'Age of Religion' to the 'Age of Reason'
Age of Reason World Map 2015
The following map illustrates the current state of the evolution of humanity from the 'Age of Religion' to the 'Age of Reason' as peoples and nations attempt to literally pull themselves out of the iron grip of ancient superstitions towards ENLIGHTENMENT where humanity really does start to understand the true nature of the universe, utilisation of which triggers exponential leaps in development as we have seen in China that has done in 30 years what took the West 300 years to achieve.
The key point that stands out from the world map is that the most religious countries also tend to be the poorest. However, the automatic western response of sending aid to poor countries just does not work for the fundamental reason that many aspects of civil society are skewed towards of veneration a deity such as in religious schools that continuously draws resources away from education based on the 'Age of Reason'.
Where the Islamic world is concerned is primed for a reformation that the West should encourage as a matter of the utmost priority as the means of bringing about Armageddon will only become easier to obtain with each passing year which is why given the current trends I don't see the middle east region surviving beyond 2030, unless the Age of Reason starts to prevail in Islamic nations whilst also continuing its trend in all nations.
So instead of the mainstream media's obsession with the 'class of civilisations' nonsense or fearing Islamification instead it is Islam that fears the West for what it represents - ENLIGHTENMENT, and it is this that is resulting in schools being blown up across Afghanistan and Pakistan, hundreds of school girls being kidnapped in Nigeria. Islam, Muslims, even Christians, Jews and Hindus FEAR the truth of what Western Secular Education reveals. Whilst western civilisation has over 400 years painfully detached itself from the Christian death cult, other death cults across the middle east still crave the end of the world so that they may ascend into paradise for eternity for the Islamic world is literally living on borrowed time as Islamic nations are not just sinking but imploding into chaos and anarchy promoting huge waves of migration to Europe and North America.
The Islamic Reformation for most of the worlds muslims could happen far more quickly than the West's 400+ year long march towards secularism that firmly put the Christian death cult in its box. An Islamic Reformation within the next 30 years would result in a world where today's slogans of Islamification and Fundamentalism just would no longer be relevant, for Islam or Judaism or the many other 'religions' would not have to go through the painful process of discovery from Galileo to Darwin to Einstein to Planck to Watson and Crick, for the knowledge already exists! It would be totally unnecessary for Islam to be blind as the first century of the Christian Reformation was that was forced to open its eyes over several centuries.
The bottom line is that what we are witnessing with Islamic fundamentalism are violent reactions to the beginnings of the Islamic Reformation where despite being unimaginable today, the Islamic world could within a few short decades come to mirror western societies in terms of economy, secularism, freedom and democracy. The best thing that the West can do is to FOSTER the Islamic Reformation through SECULAR EDUCATION INITIATIVES. The West's universities are breeding grounds for enlightenment and western governments should stop supporting dictatorships such as that in Egypt or those states that ferment religious ideologies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia which through their actions are acting as a Resistor to the Islamic Reformation.
Those that think that the Islamic world (muslims) cannot change need to remember that all it can take is just one man to change, to open his mind to enlightenment and soon the rest will follow, for that is how Islam started with ONE MAN!
