The 1,400-year-long cycle of Islamic
violence is fed not by injustice or fresh new assaults on sovereignty.
Rather, it pre-exists the rise of Western capitalism by several
centuries, and it constitutes the heart of the Muslim world. The cycle is fueled by Muslims'
fundamental organizing principle: Islam.
There is no place on Earth where a
significant population of Muslims are present that does not also live with
regular Islamic-inspired violence and disruption. This applies to both
Muslim enclaves in Western democracies and Muslim-dominated nations around the
world. Where Islam is, violence and civil tension follow.
Are
all Muslims like this? No, they aren't. Just as all Catholics don't
abstain from eating meat on Fridays during Lent, there is a continuum of
adherence to religious principles found in Islam.
However, every religion has
its universally accepted core elements – shared tenets that are foundational to
the faith.
It is the "supremacist" core
element of Islam (note: this is an aspect of Islam, not a
perversion or interpretation) that ensures the reliability of the cycle. The
battle is the aim – the jihad that cannot rest until the Earth has submitted
entirely to Islam.
