Is Islam a peaceful and tolerant faith? For all the debate over Islam and its growing presence on the globe, one thing is often overlooked: Islam is not really a faith in the sanitized Western sense. It is, in contrast, an all-encompassing sociopolitical legal matrix that has bred a worldview antagonistic to not itself.

Islam is the only real significant spiritual system in the history of the human race with a sociopolitical structure of regulations that mandate violence resistant to the infidel. The current narrative is the fact that to tell the truth in this respect is tantamount to radicalizing Muslims and exacerbating hostilities which could otherwise rest dormant. A standard refrain has reverberated throughout the Western: "Islam is not our opponent." As well-intentioned as this mantra may be, it is a potentially dangerous stance once someone recognizes Islam completely. Despite its incoherence, Islam - one billion 1000 million strong and growing - is poised to fill up the vacuum remaining by a Western culture slouching inexorably towards Gomorrah. Demographics alone are alarming. While polygamist Muslims boast a robust birth rate, indigenous Westerners are moving speedily toward self-extinction.

Were also witnessing the co-belligerency of fantastically prosperous Saudis spending multiplied billions of dollars exporting virulent Wahhabism to the Western. Worse still, Western governments, academic companies, and media retailers appear bent on exporting a wrong narrative respecting the spiritual animus animating global Islamic jihadism.
