Great article! I wasn't aware of the paper "Islamist Terrorist Attacks in the World 1979-2021" Thanks for citing it. Additionally, I want to add the following:
One of the main issues with Islam is the fact that it hides under the umbrella of religion even though it's a totalitarian ideology that nests itself into all aspects of life including politics, the economy, military, strategy, and the judiciary system. When a religion says that if you leave it or criticize it you should be killed then it should no longer be treated as a religion. Therefore, parliaments in the Western countries and the European Union should seriously consider the reclassification of what Islam is. When Sharia Law enters the constitution and becomes the dominating source of legislation then it going to be too late because challenging those barbaric laws in court will mean challenging God himself according to Islam. There is an urgent need to stand strong in supporting intellectual criticism of Islam as an ideology just like any other ideology and people who condemn such criticism under the justifications that it incites hate should be constantly reminded what democracy actually means and what made the West they live in advanced and prosperous in the first place. Thank you, Amir! Please keep up the good work.
Uh, the Muslims declared war on the world 1400 hundred years ago and have endlessly engaged in conquest, enslavement, slaughter and oppression. For anyone tempted to say 'but muh Crusades', watch this video to see that Muslim caliphates invaded the West 500x more than the Crusaders attacked Muslims. https://youtu.be/I_To-cV94Bo?list=PLkIfcgmTjUgAGevalYcGA2d7c4Pxz8DML And even then, the Muslims took over Christian holy lands, not the reverse so the case for the Crusades is much stronger morally than any of Islam's conquests.
As such, Islam is incompatible with Western civilization. It will always seek to Islamize any society in which Muslims are allowed in large numbers. The idea that we can form a stable nation and community with each other is idiotic. The only possibility is for a Muslim who's very secular, denounces Jihad and is okay living in Western nation with our virtues. And that's a small minority of Muslims. Look at global polling data, the majority of Muslims support Jihad against the West. Let them have their premodern, backwards societies. Why do we allow them to use our nations like toilet paper for education and status and money etc? What is wrong with us?
"Why do we allow them to use our nations like toilet paper for education and status and money etc? What is wrong with us?"
The west allowed and bought wholesale the liberal/progressive/socialist/communist infiltration/subversion strategies of tolerance and inclusion. They lapped it up like honeyed Pablum.
Not thought to what injecting these intentionally radical and disruptive ideologies (political or religious) would do to a homogenous and relatively successful and well functioning society.
We always fail to recognize the incrementalism, operating in the background, until it's too late to stem it.
I think it's far worse than that. The cultural revolution requires angry groups of people filled with resentment and revolutionary fervor. A devout Muslim is an easy recruit to the politics of resentment. I think they saw this as an accelerant of our destabilization. It's working, we've managed to import the Israeli-Pali conflict to our universities and streets. I believe there is a real desire to bring society tumbling down so a new constitutional order can be implemented by the Leftists/Globalists/NeoCons. They are itching to throw our liberties in the dustbin.

Just discovered your Substack. Thank you for your rational discourse. Much needed in an increasingly irrational world.

Scotland will become a police state on April the 1st-and this is not an April Fool's prank.
The Commissars will intrude upon every thought, every word, opinion and conversation, whileIslamist entryism will take full advantage.

Irony: claiming to be the victim and religion of peace as you murder those you don’t like.

moderate muslims are not tackling islamist extremism. secular liberal pluralists must.
