- Many apologists say that Islam is a religion of peace. What they do not say is that, according to Islam, “peace” is to come only after all the world has converted to Islam. Until then, all the world is divided in two: dar al-Islam (“the House of Islam”), made up those who already believe, and dar al-harb (“the House of War”), made up of those who have yet to “believe.” If one is to follow the conclusions of doctrines based on jihad and sharia, after all the disbelievers believe, then there will be peace.
- What is odd, is that even after countless attacks in Europe just since 2001, when we have all seen and felt this House of War on our flesh, no one ever mentions its existence. How come we never hear more about this House of War?
- What we are seeing, but may not wish to see, is, as Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pointed out, mainstream Islam.
- My message to apologists for Islamism is simple: Those who are whitewashing the purveyors of radical violence and extremism—by changing the subject or accusing others, often unjustly, of racism, discrimination, oppression or “Islamophobia”—are contributing to their empowerment.
