 "The Selective Amnesia of the Left: Why Islamic Colonialism Is Ignored From the 7th century onward, the Islamic Caliphates spread through relentless military conquests stretching from the Arabian Peninsula to North Africa, Persia, the Levant, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, and parts of Europe. The expansion of Islam was political, legal, and cultural imperialism enforced by the sword. The doctrine of jihad explicitly legitimized the conquest of non-Muslim lands, the enslavement of non-believers, and the imposition of dhimmitude, a state of second-class citizenship for Jews and Christians, and total persecution for polytheists. Over 300 million people are estimated to have died directly or indirectly as a result of Islamic conquests, slavery, and institutionalized persecution over 14 centuries. This includes the Hindu genocide in India, where historians like K.S. Lal estimate 80 million Hindus were killed; the decimation of Zoroastrianism in Persia; the obliteration of ancient African tribal cultures in the Sahel; and the destruction of the Byzantine Christian civilization across the Eastern Mediterranean. Islamic imperialism did not merely conquer lands, it Arabized them. Persian, Berber, Coptic, Syriac, Aramaic, and countless African languages and cultures were either marginalized or erased. The Arab identity became the default face of Islam, even in non-Arab lands. Cities like Alexandria, Carthage, and Damascus, once bastions of classical thought and Christian theology, were transformed into outposts of Islamic rule, their libraries burned, their churches converted, and their populations forcibly converted or reduced to servitude. And yet, when the modern left speaks of cultural appropriation, linguistic erasure, or settler violence, these episodes never appear in their moral inventory. The only colonialism that matters, it seems, is that which emerged from Europe. Why is this massive, centuries-long imperial project not only ignored but actively whitewashed by the progressive intelligentsia? Three reasons: 1.Victimhood Hierarchy: In the left’s worldview, Muslims occupy the role of “oppressed minority,” especially in the West. Criticizing Islam, even when grounded in historical fact, risks disrupting this victimhood narrative and is swiftly branded as “Islamophobic.” 2.Postmodernism and Cultural Relativism: The academic left, steeped in Foucault and Said, often refuses to judge non-Western cultures by universal standards. Thus, Islamic slavery, misogyny, or religious violence is excused as “contextual,” while similar Western practices are condemned as unforgivable. 3.Political Expediency: Islam, despite its imperialist core, is increasingly seen as a geopolitical ally against Western conservatism, capitalism, and Zionism. Therefore, its historical crimes are either downplayed or completely omitted. It is incoherent to denounce European colonialism while ignoring Islamic colonialism. If moral consistency is the standard, then Islamic empires, from the Rashidun and Umayyads to the Ottomans, must be held accountable for their conquests, forced conversions, enslavement, and genocides. The left’s moral outrage is not rooted in historical justice, but ideological selectivity. By refusing to acknowledge Islamic colonialism, they betray their own stated principles and reduce the idea of decolonization to a weapon, not a value."

 

Either colonialism/conquest is always bad, or it's not.   That the left ignores Islamic conquest, colonialism, and slavery, in favor of a narrative where these vices are only perpetrated by white Europeans, is disappointing, but not surprising.   I posted on this elsewhere that the left looks at Muslim countries and sees vast numbers of people in shitty living conditions and immidiately categorizes them as "oppressed" without regard to the actual history.

 "1. 1937 Peel Plan: Zionists accepted a two state solution. Arabs rejected. 2. 1947 UN Partition: Jews accepted. Arabs launched war. 3. 2000 Camp David: Israel offered the Palestinians 94-96% of the West Bank and all of Gaza. Arafat walked. 4. 2001 Taba Talks: Israel agreed to negotiate. Palestinians refused to answer. No deal. 5. 2008 Olmert Plan: 93% of West Bank. Abbas never responded. 6. 2014 Kerry Talks: Israel joined and offered 93% of the West Bank, all of Gaza, land swaps, division of Jerusalem, and return of some refugees. Palestinians refused. 6 chances. 6 rejections. There could have been a two state solution in the year 2000. The evidence seems indicate that the Palestinian side has never wanted a two state solution. They just want the mass genocide of every Jew so that they could conquer from the river to the sea."

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

" srael is such an “apartheid” country that a Bedouin soldier, G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra, died a hero defending it, protecting his Muslim family and his Jewish brothers from terrorism. Alnasasra is survived by his wife and three daughters, ages 13, 7 and 5."

Again, when people tell you who they are believe them.  In this case, do something about them.

Something to consider.

" Captain Nurit, a company commander in the Gaza Division, was wounded on Oct 7 after leading a battle against terrorists at her base. She recovered and returned to command. This past Saturday, she was critically injured by an RPG. Her left leg was amputated, and doctors are now fighting to save her right leg. She is sedated and on a ventilator in intensive care. Please pray for her recovery (Nurit bat Esther)."

 "The Atlantic slave trade lasted roughly 400 years, from the 15th to the 19th century. In comparison, the Arab slave trade began in the 7th century with the Prophet Mohammed and persisted well into the 20th century. Yet, we are only taught about the former."

I'm just shocked!!!

I can't stress enough, and therefore will continue to post this kind of thing,  how important it is to remember that Islam is a religion of conquest/colonialism.

 "Two days after October 7th, Mahmoud Khalil told a young Jewish man in Washington Square Park that he needed to be genocided. He shouted and screamed at him. This happened before Israel entered Gaza. The truth is out. Those claiming he should not be deported are absolute idiots."

 That's not good.

" From 2005 to 2023, more Israelis were murdered by terrorists from the West Bank than from Gaza. The West Bank produced a deadlier toll through shootings, stabbings, car rammings, and coordinated terror attacks. Yet in nearly two decades of bloodshed, Israel has never responded to the West Bank with airstrikes. Why? Because there were no missiles. No barrages of rockets targeting Israeli cities. No sirens sending children to bomb shelters in Tel Aviv or Ashkelon. Now contrast that with Gaza, a strip ruled by a death cult, firing rockets from hospitals, mosques, and residential buildings. Since 2005, tens of thousands of rockets have been fired from Gaza into Israeli towns. If Israel were truly the aggressor, it would have carpet-bombed Jenin and Nablus years ago. Instead, it sends ground forces, door-to-door, risking the lives of its soldiers to avoid civilian casualties. No rockets from the West Bank meant no airstrikes. Simple. But when Gaza launches missiles, Israel strikes launchers. When Gaza builds terror tunnels, Israel targets the engineering teams. When Hamas uses apartment buildings as rocket depots, Israel surgically neutralizes them, after warnings. Here’s the raw truth: Israel doesn’t strike first, it strikes back, and only when forced to."

 It's been the same since 1948.   If Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results, maybe the Arabs are insane.

Yeah, what does Salman Rushdie know.

Interesting take.

Antisemitism abounds.

Does this surprise anyone?
