Ayaan Hirsi Al - The Growing Threat of Radical Islam

  • Worst place today than we are in 2001 concerning Radical Islam
  • Radical political Islamist — Western societies are blinded
  • They want to implement Sharia nations
  • al-Qaeda -> ISIS
  • The West has failed to see is the other side, the Dawah side, much stronger, insidious and sinister group
    • Dawah is basically the plan—bring Muslims to transform them from just religious to political tools for the objective. And convert people and Islamize institutions.
    • Some say force when the time is right
    • Long term plan
    • Peaceful and legal means
  • Local: Dawah
  • Regional: ISIS
  • Global: al-Qaeda
  • Extreme is how the Chinese is dealing with Uyghers and how the West is not doing anything with Dawah
  • Multiculturalism
    • Thinking that if we give a little they’ll give a little
  • Parallel societies
    • Sharia lite ghettos
    • Purposely reject the values of the host country
  • Western societies have experience with similar mindsets such as
    • National Socialism
    • Slavery & Segregation
    • These wounds seem to open ourselves up with a liberal mindset of multiculturalism—yet bring us to Islamist ideas that are identical to the ones that caused the Western countries to have so much guilt ^h428
    • Atoning for the past
    • Radical political Islam is:
      • Totalitarian
      • Anti-woman
      • Anti-Jewish
      • Anti-Human
      • Homophobic
      • ISIS proves this
  • Islamist taking advantage of Western laws and freedoms
  • Western societies are not going after the grown ups that prey on young people that are getting converted to fight for ISIS and other Islamic wars
    • Grooming
  • 3 Threats to Western Society
    • Authoritarism
    • Radical Islam
    • Woke ideology
  • Have more time to combat these threats in American than they do in Europe due to demographics
    • Birth rates
    • Immigration
  • Not a counter-story to Dawah
  • How do you combat it in Western societies?
    • Saudi Arabia and UAE have been warning Western societies for years
    • What can inoculate young hearts and minds?
      • Christianity
      • What is something bigger than myself that I can sacrifice myself to?
        • Only Islamist and Woke ideology is giving them the answers to this now
      • The West has a lovely story to tell
      • Wild that somebody from Somalia like Ayaan Hirsi Ali has to tell us what our story is
  • Grave error of judgement to reject religion and be atheists
  • Atheism has turned into a nihilistic religion
  • Another big threat is the youths anxiety, depression, drug use etc..
  • Vacuum of belief creates an opening for Islam
  • Political Islam has killed more Muslims than anything else
