Islam as a computer program for world conquest
In my e-mail to Steve Sailer in which I said that Islam, not low IQ, is the main reason why Muslims are a threat to us, I mentioned in passing André Servier’s idea that wherever Islam takes over, intellectual life rapidly dies, or rather is shut down. A correspondent said:
Very striking. Actually the logical extension of your argument would be that the Muslims are more of a menace to us if they’re smart (though Muslim believers) than if they’re dumb.The point is, Muslims have an entire “program” provided for them by the Koran and the sharia and they pursue that “program” over centuries and millennia. Whatever their IQ may be is of secondary importance, since it is the “program” that is the practical source of their intelligence. The program gives them an overall goal, namely the transformation of the entire world into the Realm of Islam, plus a large and varied set of methods to continue pursuing that goal under a variety of circumstances. The program tells them, for example, to pull back and be humble when they lack the power to prevail, as Muhammad did in Mecca, and quickly to take charge in the name of Islam when they have sufficient support to do so, as Muhammad did in Medina. It tells them to wage war against the Great Satan (the major non-Muslim power) when that is convenient, and to wage war against the Little Satan (the local Muslim ruler who is insufficiently pious) when that is convenient. It tells them to engage in razzias (raids) against neighboring infidel lands, and if the infidel shows weakness, to launch a full scale invasion. It tells them to initiate truces when that suits their purposes, and to break the truce when that suits their purpose. It tells them always to lie to the enemy. It tells them to use terror and beheadings to quail non-believers into submission. It gives them a complete set of techniques for eliminating all non-Muslims from the world, ranging from conversion by means of persuasion, to conversion on threat of death, to dhimmitude and the poll tax, to slavery and deportation, to death. Yet it always allows flexibility in the carrying out of these holy commands. For example, since the Hindu population of India was too large for the Muslim rulers to control or destroy outright, the rulers gave the Hindus a relatively mild dhimmi-like status (normally available only to Christians and Jews), instead of simply crushing them. Finally, Islam provides Muslims with the underlying rationale justifying all of these methods, which is that Islam is the only truth, and everything other than Islam is the Realm of War, outside the law, having no right to exist. This totatitarian Islamic view permits Muslims to use any measures and engage in any lies to get the better of non-Muslims. Thus Islam could be understood as a program, just like a software program, that essentially runs itself, having both a fixed purpose and flexible sub-routines that kick in as circumstances require.
