What the world will look like if the Muslims win
Let's say that something weird happens and the Muslims win. I don't know how that will happen, but let's say it does and it doesn't involve radioactivity — just for some reason or the other, the entire Western world is given a choice of convert or die and has no other choice, and after the nonconverted are killed, all are left are forcibly converted Muslims?
Will that be the end of it? Will we live in peace then? Will we be able to all just get along?
Uh — look at the Muslim world. These SOB terrorists don't leave anybody alone. They exploit their own people, they're corrupt as hell ... because at the end of the day, they're psychopathic, sociopathic megalomaniacs.
Now, don't get me wrong. I've seen Islam where it's peaceful, in West Africa. Not surprisingly, these people, like those in the Far East, converted peacefully. Islam gives a stability, an order and a dignity to their lives that they wouldn't otherwise have. In fact, it's really not that bad at all (if you're a man) — though I suppose it depends how much you like to drink. It's really not bad. It's like being in a very large, sober fraternity. "Ah Salaam Aleikum." "Aleikum salaam." Insh'allah, it'll never happen.
The problem is this — we Americans, even forcibly converted, would likely infect Islam — one, we'd attack it with all sorts of critical thinking and critical scholarship. We'd start doing critical analyses of the Koran and the Hadiths. Two, we'd trivialize it by subsuming it into our pop culture. Three, there's just no way we're going to really believe that load of shit about Mohammed being anything other than a local warlord.
And we'd say so. Then the internal jihads would start. We'd face internal terrorism, as partisans of purer forms of Islam kept trying to impose their views on us. Plus, which Islam? Do we Americans convert wholesale to Shia or Sunni? Do you know how long we'd take to decide? We'd get caught up in internecine violence. My point is these SOBS are never going to leave us alone.
A thought: Do you want to know how to win the war on terror in one press conference? Have the president say we're all ready to convert, but we're desperately confused which is the true Islam to convert to. Is it Sunni or Shi'ite, and if one or other, which sect of Sunni or Shi'ite? Give 'em about 50 questions to settle. Tell them that we'll convert to whichever side wins the battle within Islam.
That'll keep 'em busy for another thousand years. In the meantime, we can keep doing what we're doing. Pass the limes and salt ...
