The reason for the Muslim obsession with Israel | Oren Cahanovitc

Click above for the video
If you haven't heard the phrases "Dar-al-Islam", or "Dar-al-harb", or "Dhimmi", or "Jizya" or  "Kaffir" then you don't know much about Islam, says Oren Cahanovitc in the video above. 

Luckily, since you've been reading this blog for the last fifteen years, you do know them. If you happen not to, Oren says it's not your fault, as you'll never see them mentioned on CNN, MSNBC, BBC, or whatever. And for sure that's the case. 

I've followed Oren for many years. He owns a tourist guiding company, but now mostly does YouTube vids, and they're all well researched and sound, in my view. With a nice, dry sense of humour. 

I came across a related video that claims Islam is fading because of the internet. And that it leads to more emancipation of women, and more apostasy. I'm not at all sure of that. When I see with mine own eyes what's happening in Europe, the UK, even the US. 

The most recent case is now Ireland, which had no need to be letting in unprecedented numbers of immigrants with social and religious values diametrically opposed to the host population. But they do anyway. Watch the vid. And marvel -- be shocked at -- what Shin Fein, the main party says about the new arrivals: "welcome and enriching". None so blind as those who will not see. 

The second generation of Muslims born in western countries are more extreme in their Islamism than their parents who immigrated [*]. My own fear is that the future of all those countries is Islamic. And that means Sharia. And that's not good. There's not a single of the 57 members of the Council if Islamic Cooperation, that is in the top half of the United Nations Human Development ranking. All are at the bottom. There's a reason for that, and it's Islam

[*] Reflections on the Revolution in Europe, by Christopher Caldwell at Amazon

Amazon tells me I bought the Hardcover version of this book on 31 August 2009. I've had a flip through it again today. Even though it was pretty grim reading fifteen years ago -- many thought it rather hysterical -- in fact things are worse now in Europe than even the most pessimistic of Caldwell's predictions. Islamisation of Europe and the freedoms being lost are happening at a much faster rate. Gloom....
