College students being indoctrinated on campuses to take part in Muslim prayers are also taking part in a thousand-year-old process of Islamic colonialism that made Islam a worldwide religion. College students believe by embracing Islamic rituals, they are opposing colonialism when they’re actually practicing it.
The discovery of America and the apogee of European civilization which ushered in the modern world were based on resistance to Islamic colonialism. Since then, European nations withdrew from the Muslim world to avoid colonialism only to be colonized by millions of Muslims from their old colonies. Rather than ending colonialism, Europe went from the colonizers to the colonized, and European governments were called on to once again rule over millions of Muslims, no longer in the Middle East, Pakistan, North Africa or Asia, but in London, Paris, and across their own nations. With that the rulers swiftly became the ruled.
Where the old European governments had looked to pacify Muslims abroad, their EU descendants struggled to pacify them at home. And America soon followed. After 9/11, America had been primarily worried about Muslim terrorism coming from abroad. Now it mostly worries about Islamic terrorism coming from Muslim converts and immigrants within the United States.
A history of Islamic colonialism is repeating itself with the complicity of ignorant ideologues who describe the process by which the cruel imperialism that crippled most of the world made a comeback, subjugating women, cultural and racial minorities and all non-Muslims, as liberation.
The long march of Islam across the Middle East, and then Africa and Asia, had climaxed in a struggle in Europe between the invading Muslim armies and the indigenous population. The Gates of Vienna marked a turning point in which the Islamic empires dominated much of what we came to call the Third World, but were prevented from conquering and colonizing Europe.
The price of the struggle was high and a mostly forgotten Islamic trade in European slaves continued, alongside the traditional trade in African slaves, into the 19th century. The discovery of America allowed European civilization to expand laterally, bypassing the snake pit of pirates and slavers that Africa and the Middle East had become under Islam, and discover new shores.
Columbus had been seeking a new route to India that would replace the land route controlled by the Ottoman conquerors of Byzantium and would also avoid the North African Islamic pirates whose conquest of Spain had been thwarted, but who continued to prey on Spanish shipping, and who posed a hazard on the Portuguese sea route to India around the African coast.
The origins of the United States of America lay in resistance to Islamic Jihad. As Thomas Jefferson and John Adams rediscovered when dealing with the question of Islamic piracy.
When trying to persuade the Islamic emissary to stop attacking American ships and enslaving Americans, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were told that Islamic piracy and slavery were, “founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners.”
America provided something better than a route to the Indies, although it ultimately allowed westerners to reach India, China and Japan while bypassing the raiding empires of Islam, because it also contained lands and resources that enabled European nations and colonies to build up their own civilizations without recourse to the slave nations under the Islamic boot.
Muslim pirates preyed on New World cargoes, leading to multiple conflicts, including the First and Second Barbary Wars, America’s first true international wars, but the tide had turned. The Ottoman Empire had lost its bid for Europe and would never be able to reach America. Where it had once threatened to swallow the West, it began to decline and was never able to recover.
The brief European colonization of the Middle East and North Africa was a good deal gentler than any of the horrors that Islamic conquerors had inflicted on the region. There was no genocide, mass slavery or the total repression of peoples because of their religion. The greatest Muslim complaints against colonialism are that the British and French provided civil rights to non-Muslims, especially Christians and Jews, and allowed them to form their own countries.
British colonialism ended the Muslim trade in slaves that had traversed the route out of Africa and into Egypt, across Israel and to Arabia. With the end of European colonialism, slavery resumed. Islamic tyrannies like Qatar or Saudi Arabia are serviced by millions of non-Muslim slaves. (Qatar had formally abolished slavery under British pressure in 1952 and Saudi Arabia had only abolished slavery in 1962 under pressure from the Kennedy administration.)
The end of colonialism also marked the end of equal rights for Jews and Christians in the Muslim world. The Christian and Jewish exodus from the Middle East sped up. Over a million Jews from Egypt, Iraq, Yemen and other ‘decolonized’ nations fled to Israel. They along with Arab Christians also continued making their way to America, Canada, Australia and Europe.
Muslims however followed them to these havens. The Islamic settlers in the mediterranean region had never been at peace with the idea that these traditionally Jewish and Christian areas should once again break free and become independent of Islamic rule. Israel and Lebanon soon became known for having the worst terrorist problems in the region. This was no coincidence.
While Christians and Jews in the Middle East, and Hindus and Buddhists in Asia, were under siege by Muslim forces from Africa to Asia, a new wave of Muslim colonization washed ashore on the coasts of Western nations. The new arrivals adopted the protective coloration of identity politics and declared that they were part of a movement to “decolonize” Western nations.
But by decolonization, they mean colonization.
The Islamists are not here to liberate, but to enslave, not to decolonize, but to resume the colonization that had faltered at the Gates of Vienna, and had appeared hopeless when Europe unlocked the New World and no longer had to sail its ships or trade at the mercy of the bandits who had colonized, subjugated and destroyed all the learning and culture of the Middle East.
Their mission is to build armies capable of waging political or military conflicts, to divide and conquer their enemies in Western nations and to impose Islamic theocracy or Sharia law that will solidify their rule and end any hope of freedom, human rights or equality in the free world. It is in the name of this, along with their other colonizing enterprises, against India and Israel, the Yazidis in Iraq or the Buddhists in Bangladesh, that they launch their terrorist attacks against us.
It is not only America alone. Or Israel. Hindus are being butchered in India, and Christians in places as far apart as Nigeria and the Philippines as part of the new wave of Islamic conquests.
Islamic colonialism long predated British men with pith helmets strutting around the third world. Its death toll is in the tens of millions and the resumption of Islamic colonialism ought to be as great a concern as if Nazism had risen from the dead and tanks were speeding across Europe.
Unfortunately too many civilized peoples have forgotten their history and have been convinced that their former and future conquerors are the victims because they were briefly colonized for less than half a century, when Islamic colonialism lasted for over a thousand years, and would not be toppled by any number of peaceful protests or speeches the way that the British were.
Islamism is colonialism. The real decolonization is resistance to Islamic expansionism.

Depraved psychopathic murderous berserk treacherous freedom suppressing Islam has been a
scourge on humanity for 1400 years.
Enough already.
At a minimum, Islam must be outlawed in America, and Islamic migration,
legal and illegal, into America halted.
Islam is, and always has been, the enemy of America.
The Saudi and Qatar “Royal” families and the all the other Islamic psychopaths are the enemy of America and the enemy of Freedom and Liberty.
Wake up America.
Protect and Preserve yourself from the depraved hate-filled Islamic scourge.
THX 1138 says
That would require the philosophical and moral conviction in the superiority of Western civilization and western, rational, values. A moral conviction the western philosophers, intellectuals, and leaders have lost.
“I believe that the medievals understood much better than the moderns on what basis to build a totalitarian society that would last and not collapse in less than a century. They did it and the people in the rising religious movement today know that full well. They’re the ones who have millions, upon millions, upon millions, of followers and a real insight into the fact that economics is not the crucial factor, but philosophy and culture are…. Religion has been the root of [totalitarianism] from the beginning, it has ruled in disguised forms, and still is, and now the disguise had to be stripped off… What socialism is doing is really helping religion, the bigger the statism, the more people grow accustomed to government rule over everything, the more people are ready for religionists to take over the lead from the more secular side… The socialists are building the basis for totalitarianism but only the religionists are going to cash in on it and take over.” – Leonard Peikoff

Keep chipping away at your inheritance and birthright, but watch your allies, the Muslims. They’ll praise your assistance until they stab you in the back.
David Ray says
We could use the resolve of leadership that resulted in the decisive victory at Lepanto in 1571
However, until we get something other than the retarded hush currently occupying the White House, we’ll be subject to pusillanimous bullshit as when U.S. riverine boats surrendered to Iranian navy in January 2016.
Obama & Kerry begged, hat in hand, for our sailor’s release. (The jug-eared bitch had better luck than when he begged for our drone back.)
Alkflaeda says
A crisis of confidence is a large part of the problem. I believe that part of the reason why Lepanto was possible, was that the Siege of Malta had already demonstrated that the Muslim forces were not invincible. The other thing is that the forces at Lepanto believed in the justice of their cause – which is where our societies fall down, because we take alleged Islamic superiority at its own estimation, and duly defer to the champions of the caliphate. As the article demonstrates, Islam is not morally superior. It even justifies rape as a means of so-called resistance. The prophet of Islam raped a corpse and endorsed strategic deception. On FGM, he said “It is good to cut just a little.” If people realised what Islam really stands for, they would have no problem with resisting it – there would be none of this stuff about “Look how our ancestors treated other nations”, because, if we should learn anything from that, it is that we should not now collude with a religion determined to perpetrate even worse things, not only in relation to us, but to non-Muslim people of the same nations that were colonised by Europe.
Daniel Greenfield says
The will to use it is ultimately key.
Even a small militia with some favorable defensive positions can keep out an invading army where there is a will, but empires with great armies fall of invading barbarians when there is no will.

FILTHY LIBERALS says
Sadly the West’s Masters forced these FILTHY Depraved Barbarians into our Civil Society.
Every last one of them needs to be exiled back to their Cave. Nothing good follows Islam. They offer NOTHING but a plague of misery and subjugation to the host Victim.
Your nice Muslim neighbour likely has 82 cousins that hate your guts. Destroy all mosques and deport all the inbred racist, bigoted ignorant imams
NOW
Save your breathe if you disagree, FILTHY LIBERALS
David Ray says
Islamists frequently marry their cousins.
It’s produced at least three inbred diseases as Mark Steyn documents in his book “After America” (a book that is required reading.)
You might remember the “six flying imams”.
After they staged an ostentatious dry-run, instead of getting a one-way ticket to Club Gitmo, that got a large payday. (Bush43 pussed out on many things. Keeping that crybaby Mineta in as Transportation Secretary was one of ’em.)
These shithead politicians know what ill the “religion-of-peace brings. Hence, they take care to never dump ’em in their home neighborhoods – only ours.
THX 1138 says
Islam is to Western civilization what Kaposi’s sarcoma is to someone infected with full-blown AIDS.
It’s a deadly and opportunistic disease that would not have a chance to invade the West if the West’s immune system were healthy.
But the West has been slowly collapsing into another Dark Age at least since WW1 and like an AIDS patient the West rebounds back to a healthier state only to collapse back again into full-blown disease because the underlying infection is still there.
From WW1 to WW2 and now to a final, slow, self-sacrificial suicide by opportunistic Muslim invasion.
The West has become an altruistic, self-sacrificial Shmoo, looking for a Muslim cannibal to devour it for dinner.
“Shmoos are delicious to eat, and are eager to be eaten. If a human looks at one hungrily, it will happily immolate itself—either by jumping into a frying pan, after which they taste like chicken, or on a grill, after which they taste like steak. When roasted they taste like pork, and when baked they taste like catfish. Raw, they taste like oysters on the half-shell.” – Wikipedia
Intrepid says
Uh Oh. The THX beer drinking game has spun up. A variant of altruism has been invoked. Time to crack open a cold one.
Beez says
So, the Muslims have altruistic motives? Oh, why didn’t notice that for the last 1400 years?
Billy Bones says
Excellent concise history of Islam vs the non-Islamic world. I was already familiar with the reference to John Adams and Thomas Jefferson’s letter to John Jay describing their chat with a Muslim diplomat in London. You can find the whole letter on-line. John Adam’s son, John Quincy Adams, picked up where his father left off. His writings on Islam are about as non-politically correct as you can get.

I first noticed leftist revisionist history coming on strong in the 1980s, when the book covered a subject I knew very well. Since then it has gotten worse. Now the authors are so afraid of leftist criticism that if they want to be accurate, they have to be so rigorously factual that it makes the subject so dry it is hardly readable.
Ron Kelmell says
Dhimmi politicians enable these pagans invader to have the success we’ve seen around the world.
THX 1138 says
If only they were Greco-Roman pagans like Socrates, Sophocles, Herodotus, Thucydides, Hippocrates, Pythagoras, Aristotle, Cicero, Archimedes, Euclid, Galen, Homer, Aristophanes, Hypatia (who was stoned to death and dismembered by Christians for being a pagan), Pericles, but they are not pagans, they are Muslims.
Judaism prepared the way for Christianity and both prepared the way for Islam.
Islam’s mythology certainly does not come from the pagan mythology of the Ancient Greeks or Romans.
Intrepid says
Same old crap including your shop worn “prepared the way” garbage.

ROY TREPANIER says
“Judaism prepared the way for Christianity and both prepared the way for Islam”. Say what ??? Better to say that Judaism and Christianity paved the way for Islam to steal, twist and destroy parts of the Old and New Testaments.
“Islam’s mythology certainly does not come from the pagan mythology of the Ancient Greeks or Romans”. That;’s right. It comes straight from the pit of hell and the mouth of satan. Mohammed even stated that satan would visit him in dreams.
Rev. Roy…….<
Alkflaeda says
Visiting him was not the only thing Satan did, according to evangelist Zakaria Botros https://www.raymondibrahim.com/2022/06/20/zakaria-botros-87-and-still-boldly-challenging-islam/
I believe that part of the problem is that we are dealing with a demonic phenomenon, but we live in a society which does not believe in demons, only in supposedly benign spirit guides. And yet a large part of Jesus’ ministry was concerned with dealing with demons – and this in a society where obedience to Torah should have precluded most demonic infestation.

There is always a comforting, optimistic quality to Mr. Greenfield’s writing that I greatly appreciate.
Clarity, truth, is comforting.
Knowing truth, understanding the truth, encourages optimism for the future even when the present seems bleak.
The self serving enemies of truth know they must lie, that the truth will always defeat them. Their only strategy is to conquer by lying ( a massacre is ‘resistance’?), obliterating the truth (like obliterating God?) and appealing to morally compromised, weak, malleable people with neuroses and personal axes to grind. The lying has been so perfected that, as Mr. Greenfield says, the people ranting against colonialism don’t realize that they themselves have been colonized.
Daniel Greenfield says
Truth can mobilize us when little else will.
We have been undone by a century of lies.
We need the clear and simple sound of truth. More than ever.

Much of the blame should be placed on liberal Christians who have so replaced traditional Christianity with wokeness and whatever else is in vogue. Two years ago, the religious left was supporting BLM/antifa and now Hamas and perversity. This has left a spiritual vacuum and emptied the pews. Islam appeals to many, particularly males, as fervent, having a structure and even a quest. Christian churches had better get back to basics instead of putting solar panels on their roofs while supporting terrorists and invaders.

these liberal churches and synagogues aren’t centered around religion, but around leftist politics

It’s called “hijra.” Hijra precedes jihad. Jihad precedes Sharia. The establishment of Sharia is their end game.

It is worth noting that not only was Islam enslaving Europeans, but they played a key part in the transatlantic slave trade as well https://www.raymondibrahim.com/2020/02/10/exposed-islams-role-in-the-transatlantic-slave-trade/

What might be need is an undated and revised version of the Monroe Doctrine which was originally designed to stop any further colonialism of the Americas by the European nations , as Spain , Portugal,,France.
That Monroe doctrine included the Latin countries In other words, it would halt European colonialism also in those lands.
Therefore, a new updated and revised version of that Doctrine would put an end , as in not tolerate,, any further “colonization” of North America and Latin America by any Islamic countries , iI it be massive Muslim immigration or “political intervention ” from or by Islamic nations as ,for example, Iran , Afghanistan , Pakistan.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says

Well Spain was able to deport all the muslims by force in 1492, after 800 years. It’s time for Americans to deport all the muslims out of America now. Instead we’ve got Hussein Biden appointing them to high positions of intelligence and security. More treason.

Our State Department is stoutly pro-Arab, i.e. Islam. My late uncle’s last diplomatic posting was as CG to Egypt. Before that, Jerusalem, where I taught summer classes at U of Bethlehem, then (1985) a mixture of Christians and Muslims. At one lunch with 8 students, half were embarrassed by one nice clean-cut fellow calmly saying that “Yes, every Jew man woman and child should be killed and driven from the land.” Spending months with my kind and generous uncle, I saw our State Department from the inside. This sympathy simmers below Blinken.

When islamic warriors went from current day Istanbul all the way to Kabul slaughtering beheading and raping everything and everybody in their path, Christians,Jews.Hindus,Buddhists and many other small religious Sects, should that be known as Colonialism..

Western Civilization owes its existence to two men: Charles Martel and King John Sobieski.
Charles “The Hammer” Martel defeated the Moslems at Tours, France in 732 AD.
King John Sobieski, nearly a millennium later, stopped the Ottomans at the Battle of Vienna.
Without these two crucial victories over jihad we would all be spending much of our day on a prayer rug bowing toward Mecca.
