Finally, a little light on the truth.
Every time a new jihad attack strikes innocents in the West, media and politicians get busy blaming “bad integration,” “poverty,” “marginalization,” “racism,” etc.
For some reason, it never occurs to them to ask if Islamic terrorism has anything to do with Islam and the increasing number of followers of this particular religion in our countries.
Are they overlooking something? Could there be a connection?
This is a fascinating read.
Islam and violence?
Together with a team of fellow researchers, the Danish researcher Tina Magaard meticulously analyzed the texts of the 10 largest religions in the world, searching for possible connections to violence. Magaard’s conclusion is clear:
“Islam’s religious texts call upon its followers to commit violence and to fight to a much higher degree than any other religion. The texts in Islam are clearly distinct from those of other religions’ texts, as they to a much higher degree call for violence and aggression against followers of other faiths. There are also direct incitements to terror. This has long been a taboo within research in Islam, but it is a fact we have to acknowledge,” says Tina Magaard.
During their research, Magaard and her team found hundreds of calls to fight against followers of other faiths in the Quran.
“If it is true that many Muslims view the Quran as God’s own words that can not be rephrased or interpreted in a non-literal manner, we have a problem,” Magaard warns.
Research by the German Social Science Research Center (WZB) confirms Magaard’s worries: 75 percent of Muslims in Europe think that the Quran must be taken literally.
Could the increasing amount of mosques and imams preaching these texts have anything to do with the likewise increase in Islamic terrorism?
