Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

For those interested, please check out https://vladtepesblog.substack.com/ as an another avenue of expression. The Substack is a different project in a sense. It is older videos that in the light of subsequent events, look different or of increased importance, Check it out now and again if you like. But use it safely.

ADDENDUM: 

This site operates more at the philosophical level of the communist/Islamic revolution which is obliterating Western Civilization. Politics, culture, law are all down stream from philosophy. Understanding the philosophy of the attack is to understand what is an attack and develop tactics, both individually and collectively against them. The attack comes entirely (so far) in the form of Dialectics. To understand dialectics, watch and read everything you can by Maj. (Ret.) Stephen Coughlin.

Here is a repost of the simplest explanation, or at least the shortest one, we have been able to think of so far (Placed here by request)

We as humans communicate mostly via conventions. In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary

or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.

Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.

This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.

Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.

Or somehow convincing everyone that the German National Socialist Worker’s Party is somehow “far right wing”, which may be the most masterful dialectical con of the 20th century.

This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.

Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants what us to think they mean as opposed to what they do mean and more or less always have meant.

About the mid terms, Canada, as a communist polity (lots on that) and the UK as a diseased state: Links 1 for Nov. 9, 2026

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

As a brief aside, I got a call from one of the most educated on East Europe, Communism, and Islam this morning about the post from last night where I speculated that the Polish attacker may in fact be a National Bolshevik. She informed me that the date of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 according to the Julian Calendar, was Nov 7th. So it adds a real data point to my hypothesis. In fact it may even make the cut as a theory at this point. And if he isn’t specifically a Dugenist, or as they say, NazBol, he is NOT anything like what we would call “right Wing”, Picking that date is a nod to communism, and the communist revolution. Not like, July 4th or anything.

More information also tilts heavily towards this being a German. His social media was full of pictures of playing cards, but they were all from German decks as opposed to Russian or Polish or Ukrainian. There were other indicators that he was German, or acting for Germany, or his personal motives were connected to German identity as he saw it.

1. Richard left this comment this morning on the site:

The odds of the Dems winning 29 of 30 contested Senate seats are over 5500 to 1 there is no way that election was honest.

There is an article about this on The Gateway Pundit but I can’t figure out how to paste the URL on my phone

I would like to answer it with the contents of an email I received this morning. No additional comment from me. I have not looked into it yet.

It appears that there is a distinct possibility of election fraud in
the midterms. The “15% band” identifies a fairly uniform 15% of votes
that went from Trump to Democrats, fairly uniformly across all
election races. It appears to be the result of algorithmic bias.

I maintain a catalog of articles on possible election fraud at:

Ballot Busting
https://www.cairco.org/news/ballot-busting

This isn’t conspiracy theory stuff, but rather, reporting of
information that the mainstream media buries.

I have found Gateway Pundit to be an excellent resource, and Geller
Report is quick to report on election irregularities.

My opinion is that election fraud is involved. It simply doesn’t make
intuitive sense that conservatives abandoned MAGA en masse to vote
for socialists and communists,

2. CBC assists the Marxist effort to make facts into hate speech when used in a way that may interfere with the communist destruction of nation states

Regina councillor shared great replacement conspiracy theory with colleagues during mosque broadcast debate

Experts say it’s concerning to see city councillor share Islamophobic conspiracy theory

As Regina debated a mosque’s decision to broadcast a call to prayer, Ward 1 Coun. Dan Rashovich forwarded an email to his colleagues that contained what experts say is the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which falsely suggests immigrants are attempting to replace a country’s white population.

The email, obtained by CBC News through a freedom of information request, says the Islamic call to prayer or adhan is a “strategic tactic” to expand Islam in Canada through changing demographics.

“Thank You for your email. You nailed it!” Rashovich wrote in an email CC’d to every member of Regina city council, as well as Regina police Chief Lorilee Davies, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and provincial Justice Minister Tim McLeod.

Rashovich declined multiple requests for an on-camera interview.  Instead, in a series of emailed statements, Rashovich said he did not see the email’s entire contents before sharing it.

If Canada wasn’t already a communist country, the good councillor would have countered the accusation with readily in evidence facts. For example the UN Replacement Migration policy papers. Or the UN Migration Compact of 2018 and any number of facts showing that people defended from classical civ, and not just ethnically, but who hold a belief in classical civ are being disenfranchised all over the west. But instead he did what any Soviet denizen would do. he denied knowing what the email said.

3. There has been several attacks on Jewish owned restaurants in Montreal recently. The most recent one was on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi night of Broken Glass when Nazis went out in numbers to German streets and attacked Jewish stores.

4. Back to the subject of Canada as a communist polity:

Signal explains why it may bail on Canada thanks to laws that force them to pony up Canadian’s communications to the state

A complete lack of description of someone wanted for assaulting a woman in Ottawa feels pretty commie as well for that matter.

Oh and this of course.

And this:

5. I guess Canadians can at least say, “Well at least we’re not the UK!

Thank you all for reading this site.

Poland & Russel Brand: Links post 1 for Nov. 8th, 2026

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

There really is a great deal going on and a great deal of propaganda and disinformation surrounding it.

The attack in Poland is probably very much aligned with the cult of Alexander Dugin known as “national Bolsheviks”, which was the same group the 2 kids who shot up a mosque and Gardner in the US recently and then shot each other was connected to, and of course most famously, the Christchurch NZ shooter.

So far no symbols such as the Black Sun has been shown to the public, as Poland, now being an EU/UN communist state is feverishly trying to call the man who murdered his own family then trued for a mass casualty event in Warsaw, “far right wing”, as they always do.

Here is some of what has found its way to the public.

At the moment there is no evidence linking him to National Bolshevism. And I am not arguing that absesnce of evidence is evidence of censorship. There may not be a link at all. But it’s a reasonable theory given how the media treated the Christchurch attacker of mosques. They made possession of his maniefsto illegal and immediately rewrote it to suit a leftist internationalist anti-Nation-state agenda, linking Trump and so on and so on. The document is now widely available online other than for New Zealanders. So it’s a worthy hypothesis.

Interestingly, there are convoys of German military vehicles in Poland now for some reason. Some opinion publishers suggest an eerily German scent to events in Poland recently in general. One Polish ex-pat we spoke with at some length has deep suspicions that this is a German op. A kind of political false flag to get Poland under German control. Not the first time they tried that, so…

Well, not for SOME reason. For this reason. Or is it an excuse?

The other thing that is dominating the attention-o-sphere is the conviction of Russel Brand. People arguing on one or the other side of the issue feel the need to state what they think of him. Actually what matters is rule of law and do we have any. And no, we don’t. There is tons and tons of videos and opinion pieces out there more informed and better than anything I could write. Instead, I ask you to look at these links and ask yourself to compare the coverage and justice of it, to what Russel Brand is alleged to have done, 20 years ago.

Full text:

“They tried to penetrate every opening of our bodies.”

German woman Claudia Vosen and her daughter suffered a mass sexual assault at the hands of Arabs during the Cologne New Year’s Eve attacks of 2015/16.

After the harrowing sexual assaults, Vosen faced a new hell from co-workers who called her racist.

She is speaking out now, a decade later, to EMMA magazine.

She said when migrants finished sexually assaulting them over the course of a half-hour, the women were “spat out.” Vosen filed a complaint that night; she was one of 627 women who did so just in one city, Cologne.

What followed, she said, was almost as damaging as the attack.

“When I arrived at work in January and told everyone what had happened to me, they said: ‘You’re crazy. They really messed me up. What are you saying… that’s not true. Otherwise we would have heard or read something. You have something against foreigners,’” said Vosen. “Everything was swept under the rug. That was the worst part. It was denied, covered up.”

Vosen’s daughter also suffered. On the schoolyard, her daughter heard, “Just be glad you weren’t raped.”

Vosen’s daughter began avoiding groups of young men who appeared Arab.

“Young women don’t defend themselves the way we used to,” says the mother. “They no longer dare to laugh in the face of a group of boys who cause them problems. They answer cautiously. They are afraid.”

“New Year’s Eve opened my eyes,” said Claudia Vosen. “For me, there is a before and an after.”

She also stated that afterwards, the demonstrations were not against the mass sexual assaults and rapes but instead focused on “racism.”

She said these protesters did not act out of solidarity with the victims but with the migrants.

“Instead of simply saying who the perpetrators are, whether right or left. We weren’t allowed to say back then: ‘Those were Arabs.’ All that remained was: people with a foreign appearance,” she said.

Nationwide, 1,200 women filed reports of sexual violence that fateful night. Estimates indicated the number of men involved at more than 2,000.

Cologne Police President Wolfgang Albers initially called the night “largely peaceful.”

Days later, he admitted, as reported by the BBC, that a “very large number of sexual assaults” had been committed by groups of young men “largely of North African or Arab appearance.”

An internal federal police report revealed that women ran a “gauntlet” through masses of heavily intoxicated foreign men “that words cannot describe.” The report labeled the scene as “chaotic and shameful.”

North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Ralf Jäger later told a state parliamentary committee that the perpetrators were “almost exclusively” people with a migration background.

“All signs point to these being North Africans and people from the Arab world,” he said, adding that asylum seekers who had arrived just months earlier were among the suspects.

Of 153 suspects identified in Cologne for offenses that night, about two-thirds were from Morocco or Algeria; roughly 44% were asylum seekers and another 12% were believed to be in Germany illegally.

However, actual convictions were almost non-existent due to the chaos and the lack of footage, which means hundreds of women went without justice.

From the UK. But frankly, as shocking as this example is, anyone who read Peter McLoughlin’s book, Easy Meat which was a 100% vetted and properly researched book on Muslim Harems, or what should be called, “Child-sex slavery of non-Muslim girls, would know how stunningly typical this is in the UK now, and for at least the last twenty years. The Pakistani Muslims who kept Charlene Downs in sex slavery, then killed and fed her body to the public in Kebabs, which is how all available evidence shows this took place, were not convicted of anything. That case in fact is what promoted Tommy Robinson to prominence. No one else would publicize the case and Tommy managed to get major protests out about it and the issue of Islamic harems of British girls in general. This is why the British state has been using all its power to persecute him while being careful not to martyr him. Another reason by the way, we should always remember the name of Kevin Crehan, who died in prison serving a one year sentence for leaving a strip of bacon on a mosque doorknob. No harm to anyone, and no violence whatsoever. Just left some bacon. The formal charge in a rational world MIGHT be littering. he got the death penalty by proxy.

And three more picked at random.

Adil Rashid (Nottingham, UK, 2013)
An 18-year-old Muslim from Birmingham, educated in a madrassa/Islamic school, met a 13-year-old girl on Facebook, arranged to meet her, and had sex with her (statutory rape). He claimed he did not know it was illegal because of his “sheltered” upbringing and education that devalued women. Judge Michael Stokes at Nottingham Crown Court imposed a nine-month youth custody sentence suspended for two years, plus a two-year probation order. The judge cited Rashid’s sexual naivety, immaturity, and passivity, and said immediate custody would do “more damage than good.” Reporting at the time noted that comparable cases typically attracted 4–7 years’ imprisonment.? Daily Mail

Mohamed Aziz Ben Ishak (Quebec, Canada, 2026 reporting of earlier offence)
A Tunisian national (temporary resident) violently assaulted his partner after she lit a cigarette before sunset during Ramadan. He kicked her in the ribs, punched her repeatedly in the head, extinguished a lit cigarette on her forearm, and dragged her by the hair. A Quebec court judge granted a conditional discharge (no conviction/criminal record if conditions are met) plus three years’ probation and 240 hours of community service. The judge described the sentence as “lenient” and acknowledged it was unlikely to satisfy the victim, while taking into account the offender’s lack of prior record, remorse, and immigration status.? Nationalpost

Afghan refugee (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, 2021)
A refugee from Afghanistan sexually assaulted a stranger in Kitchener. Justice Karey Katzsch accepted a joint Crown-defence recommendation for a conditional discharge (finding of guilt but no conviction, with conditions). The defence highlighted that a conviction risked deportation and possible execution by the Taliban; the judge agreed to the non-custodial outcome. This is one of several Canadian cases in which immigration consequences have been weighed in sexual-offence sentencings involving newcomers.?Therecord

Again, whatever else we think of Russel Brand, compare what happened to him with, well what you read on an X feed pretty much every day if you look for that sort of thing. This is not an injustice. This is the justice of a totally different system than the one people think they live in.

Western Standard interview with Libertarian head of the Dominion Society

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Interesting interview overall I think.

Here at Castle Tepes we have been crazy busy for the last few days on related materials. Of course what happened during the mid terms deserves discussion, but it’s not like there isn’t a lot of excellent analysis all over the place. So we didn’t see any need to add to it. it think most people know what happened here. And President Trump and the Republican part have more than a small share of the blame here.

In any case, this is an interesting video of a kind of moderate libertarian on the state of Canada.

It is we who say he is libertarian by the way. He speaks for himself in this interview, and very well.

Indigiqueer and other dialectical neologisms, The Allison Inquiry and more: Links post 1 for Nov. 5, 2026

Posted on by — Leave a reply

1. I am posting this as a personal thing. One of the narrative attacks on the US that irks me the most, is the one that claims the US moon landing never took place. I watched it live, but granted, I was VERY young at the time. But what I do remember well, was that it was probably the most unifying event in Human history. The US went to great pains to make this a human accomplishment, rather than just an American one. People across the world celebrated it like a personal victory.

I have personally challenged, and castigated people on open line radio shows that were hawking their books or otherwise making a couple of bucks by denigrating this accomplishment as an American hoax. I put it in the same category as that history book now taught in high schools with a purely cynical and critical theory attack on the US.

So I found this video to be refreshing. Also for those interested, and looking for a great night’s entertainment, find the Australian film, The Dish. A very enjoyable account of how the moon landing was actually carried to the world by a small radio telescope in a sheep paddock in Australia. By the same people who did Strictly Ballroom and Castle I believe, which are also really charming and entertaining films.

2. There were 4 days of testimony at The Allison Inquiry in Ottawa in early Sept. We posted just a few of them, and especially where we had a chance to interview some of the people giving testimony. But not posting someone is not a measure of the quality or value of the testimony whatsoever. It is more a statement about what time permits, and what decisions have to be made completely independent of the value of the testimony. For those interested in what the Covid measures did to people, Canadians as the example here, but if you saw Senator Johnson’s testimony clearly it is also Americans, interested parties may want to watch all of it. Schedule a little time on weekends or something and pick one and watch.

Links to them all are here:

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3 and 4 can be seen by clicking day 1 or day 2 and scrolling down the page.

For the moment, here is a lawyer who is involved in litigation against the state who explains the machinery behind the ironically named, (dialectical) compensation program, where state money was funnelled to the bureaucracy and nearly none of it made it to vaxx injured Canadians.

This fellow also was profoundly inspirational. This is not a victim statement. This is a personal triumph over becoming a victim despite massive vaccine injury. It was extraordinary to be in the room when this man spoke. In a private conversation with him afterwards, his general knowledge and fields of expertise are as impressive as the bio he gave in the testimony.

3. The problem is that this kind of thing is so astonishingly common now, that we could, and many do like RMX news, make the entire content about showing incidents of Muslims and illegal migrants raping, stealing from, beating and killing indigenous Europeans.

Law is, and this is a point we simply do not make often enough, nothing at all but a codification of a people’s values. A group of people with shared values, be it a tribe or a country, is a nation. The Nation of Israel for example, refers to jews worldwide who are assumed to have a common set of shared values. And laws in all places are the codification of whatever values the people there have. Unless they are corrupted by communism of course.

When you mass import a large group of people into a location with fundamentally different values than those already there, the laws will change, because it becomes impossible to enforce the legacy laws. This is of course, accelerated by programs like multiculturalism, that insist the way to deal with Islamic mass sex-slavery of non-Muslim females is to make muslims into the police. This has very predictable results. One of the two men in the conversation below makes on critical error. It is not that Muslims see women as communal property. It is that Muslims see themselves as having the Allah-granted right to take as personal property any non-Muslim woman they want to and then do whatever they want with them. When it comes to Muslim women, they do not see them as communal property but as each man’s personal “tilth”.

4. This may be the most complicated protest sign yet on parliament Hill. If anyone has a clue what it is about, please explain in the comments.

5. I learned a new word today. I learned it while helping a friend film the monument for $15M (not including the value of the prime land it occupies) for “survivors” of LGBTQ+ETC oppression. The word is: INDIGIQUEER

Which is a neologism worthy of the German language that is an amalgam of “indigenous” – invoking the must-never-be-questioned suffering of the tribal peoples on the continent before Europeans sailed to North America – and “queer”, which people mistakenly think means homosexual, but in fact means taking a dialectical position against civilizational normalcy.

(Video explaining that below)

Here is a screen grab from the video of the monument, which itself is actually pretty cynical. It is essentially a giant phallic-like inside-out disco ball reminiscent of the 1980s Disco motif. For a monument that is to memorialize supposed oppression and injustice, it does not communicate anything resembling dignity.

imagine a Holocaust memorial as a statue of a bunch of religious-looking Jewish people dancing the Hora around the opening of a new retail store by analogy.

But this memorial to various persecuted sexual preference groups as an inverted disco ball, looks more like a money laundering op complete with (yes, for real) a strobe light inside to really enhance that disco ball effect.

But in its defence, the likely massive money-laundering true purpose of this object does make it very much Canadian.

 

To understaand the concept of “Queer” as it is actually used by the current crop of communist dialectical engineers, watch the following video:

This is fascinating! Did you know that Roman Emperor’s actually tried the same con that Mamdani is attempting in New York and the NDP in Canada?

A few thoughts about Russia, Ukraine & Poland

Posted on by — Leave a reply

 

(Before I make my case, and frankly it’s more of an open question than it is a case, I feel it’s important to point out one fact. If anyone chooses to read this, please do so with some caution. I am out of my wheelhouse here. But the video of the feminist group asking for an audit on Ukraine spending in this post doesn’t require any analysis from me. So watch that anyway and decide for yourselves what that means.
But I have dug my own rabbit hole here for anyone who is interested. Of course, any counter arguments or ideas to the contrary are most welcome. Pelase deliver them in the spirit this is written. Thinking out loud. Not prognosticating or in any way being didactic.)

I see Ukrainian flags everywhere in my city in Canada. From what I know, it is mostly on the homes and cars of leftists who have all the correct narrative views on everything. But one thing I absolutely do notice, is that never has there been a report of roving gangs of Russian thugs, torching cars or breaking windows of homes with the Ukrainian flags in or on them. But put an Israeli flag out and chances are you won’t even get an insurance pay out for what happens. And certainly not twice.

This is a meaningful stat. Interpret it how you will. But it sure seems like Russia and Russians are not the enemy they were made out to be by the state-media complex. But the Anti-Israel complex is indeed a state-media creation. Like the facts of Russia-Ukraine, they are non-existent on CBC. Just approved narrative attacks.

This video we post now and again because, well it shows how the people of the Donbas were treated by the Ukrainian state:

This is from 2014:

But here’s the October surprise, as it were, here in Canada. From what might be called a legacy feminist no less. From CPAC

 

She goes farther than simply accusing Carney of money laundering. She questions the moral authority of the war itself on its premise. She is decidedly contradicting the narrative of an “unprovoked aggression” by Russia. (Although personally I don’t like Jeffrey Sachs as a source, but he is only one of the sources she quotes, and I can’t remember why I don’t like him as one)

In 2018, President Trump went to Germany and spoke at a NATO summit, specifically warning Germany that they had made themselves totally dependant on Russian energy. In fact, Germany has torn down to the roots a brand new state of the art coal plant for electric generation that produced very little CO2 for those that believe this is a problem. Merkel signed the Nord Stream deal in 2015, and once the war was imminent, they did not allow delivery of LNG. But Germany, France etc. really did destroy their own energy production including nuclear, Which you know, doesn’t convert any carbon into gas form.

  • The dependency on Russian oil was built with full knowledge before the war — 2015 deal, Trump’s 2018 warning delivered to their faces at NATO, US sanctions on the project from December 2019, and Germany kept laying pipe anyway (construction resumed December 2020 despite sanctions).
  • They didn’t stop when they saw the war coming — pipeline finished September 2021 with troops already massing; even the certification freeze only came February 22, 2022, two days before the invasion, and even then it was Scholz, not Merkel (she left office December 2021).
  • Merkel defended the decision after the war started, with full knowledge of what it produced — “Nord Stream 2 was not a mistake,” “even in the Cold War, Russia was a reliable energy supplier.” She didn’t sin off on it post invasion. But that she still defended the policy in hindsight after seeing the invasion her policy funded. She had all the information in the world and said she’d do it again.
  • The invader’s revenue flowed regardless — NS2 never opened, but Germany kept buying through Nord Stream 1, the Polish and Ukrainian transit lines, and later LNG — ~€140 billion to Russia in the first year of the war. They built a second pipeline to double the money flow while being warned, and when it was blown up in September 2022, the flow just went through the other pipes.

Then we get to Poland today.

The European Union, which has an astonishing track record of destroying sovereignty, conning member states into surrendering self interest to faceless overpaid bureaucrats in the European Commission, and a litany of other crimes against culture and individuality like mass immigration of Muslims, seem to have managed to pull of a coup in Poland where a successful leader of Poland for the Polish people has been replaced with an EU sycophant.

And now suddenly, there are troops amassed on the Polish border with Russia, although that looks like it may have been a fairly normal response to a Russian military exercise. And given that a Russian military exercise immediately preceded the invasion of the Donbas, was probably a good idea.

Speaking with a knowledgeable Polish expat we know who speaks 5 languages fluently today, Her speculation was interesting.

Poland, I am told, now holds more gold than the European Central Bank. Around 632 tonnes. The ECB, 507.

  • Poland is Europe’s largest gold BUYER — by far. It added ~50 tonnes recently per the World Gold Council, holds the top spot on the biggest-increases list, and the NBP has approved a plan for up to 150 more tonnes, targeting 20%+ of reserves in gold and a stated goal around 700+ tonnes.
  • Poland is the largest holder in Central and Eastern Europe — Russia aside (and Russia’s ~2,300t is Asia-booked in most analyses since much is held in China/own vaults).
  • Poland is the only major European economy whose gold program is explicitly framed as insurance. Glapiski has said categorically: gold is held domestically in Polish vaults specifically because “in the event of a crisis, external markets could become inaccessible” — and Poland repatriated 100 tonnes from London in 2019.

Poland is also a hold out against the Euro. And the EU doesn’t like that at all. They recently suckered Bulgaria into switching to the Euro and our friends there are reporting massive increase in costs of living as a result.

And Poland now faces the EU’s excessive deficit procedure. And the EU is actively trying to hook Poland’s rearmament into EU financing: the SAFE-style EU loans come with a requirement that 65% of components come from EU/Ukraine-based companies — which deliberately excludes Poland’s two main suppliers, the US and South Korea (National Defense Magazine). Warsaw has been resisting: “Poland takes Brussels’s billions but wants US, Korean weapons.” So yes — there is a live EU effort to make Poland’s military build-up financially dependent on Brussels and to redirect the procurement to German/French industry.

It’s almost as if the EU/Germany was more concerned about screwing over Trump and the USA than its own survival. Getting Poland away from its independence through gold holdings, and forcing it to stop using the USA as its supplier of military equipment.

In terms of Tusk and his politics, The Guardian’s account and Politico’s both note the EU Commission immediately sided with Tusk. Which tells you a lot.

Here is some speculation sent in by another reader that the coup in Poland could be a precursor to Martial law there:

….could be a pretext to introduce martial law ???
=====================
Poland foils attempted ‘provocation’ on Russian border, PM Tusk says
====================
Großeinsatz in Polen an Grenze zu Kaliningrad
=================
Polnischer Spezialeinsatz an Grenze zu Kaliningrad
In any case, it was interesting to see leftist, feminist, albeit legacy 60s feminists, or, “first wave” as the following more clearly Marxist wave, speaking against the Ukrainian-Russian narrative.

Islam and RFK Jr.

Leftist mainstream media outlets piled on this week to express outrage at my observation, during a speech in Grand Rapids for Mike Rogers, about the troubling dearth of scientific output from the world’s 22 Arab nations over the past five decades. These reporters —

— omitted critical context, presumably to bestow plausibility on their accusations that my statements were racist and Islamophobic.

However, my speech was not a critique of Arabs or Islam, but of Islamism (also known as “Islamofascism” or “Political Islam”), a toxic ideology conceived and promoted by the terrorist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. Let’s see which reporters take the time to read this post and then correct their stories.

Criticizing Islamism is neither Islamophobic nor racist. Islamism is a violent corruption of mainstream Islam that summons adherents back to the seventh-century ideal of bloody jihad, the homicidal and suicidal religious zealotry that propelled a motley cadre of desert nomads to conquer half the world. Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar — the Muslim equivalent of the Vatican and the highest authority in Sunni Islamic thought — has rejected Islamism as “false Islam” and a “perversion of the Islamic religion” and accused it of “barbaric crimes.”

Islamism is intensely anti-American, anti-Western, and hostile to modernity. It is explicitly contemptuous of democracy, constitutional government, capitalism, minority rights, gay rights, women’s rights, free speech, and virtually all personal freedoms. Its central aspiration is for a global caliphate ruled by a single theocratic despot with absolute power to impose sharia law that dictates every aspect of human conduct. The Muslim Brotherhood’s founder, Hassan al-Banna, taught that the highest aspiration for a Muslim was martyrdom in the achievement of that goal; the purpose of every Islamic nation is to “perfect the industry of death” until world domination is accomplished.

I pointed out in my speech that the Muslim Brotherhood’s antipathy for modernity is a dramatic departure from Islam’s historical affinity for science and learning. During the Muslim Golden Age, spanning the eighth through the fifteenth centuries, Muslim leaders dignified Islam’s wealth and power by promoting a brilliant flowering of innovation and scholarship in science, mathematics, philosophy, art, literature, astronomy, pharmacology, psychology, engineering, architecture, medicine, and navigation that continues to enrich the world today. Arab leaders fostered an intellectual ferment unmatched by any other in human history. A long line of enlightened caliphs assembled—and abundantly rewarded—an unparalleled galaxy of jurists, scientists, physicians, philosophers, musicians, artists, poets, and wits. Muslim rulers elevated the role of reason and tolerance, cultivating a milieu of religious and intellectual freedom—where Jews and Christians also flourished—and encouraged sages of various faiths and ethnicities to collaborate and freely exchange ideas.

For five centuries, Arabic was the world’s most learned and literary tongue and the lingua franca of science and scholarship. Most mosques had libraries (Córdoba hosted 600!). Muslim princes in the tenth century often had more books in their personal collections than existed in all of Europe. Baghdad had 100 bookstores in AD 891. England would have to wait another 420 years until 1309 to see paper for the first time.

Islam’s second Golden Age during the Ottoman Empire (1299–1922) birthed a cosmopolitan and pluralistic civilization centered in Constantinople that yielded additional bonanzas in poetry, music, art, and a tsunami of scientific innovation from coffee to water pumps, steam engines, gears, surgical scalpels and clamps, the first smallpox vaccine, and the cannons that allowed the Ottomans to dominate Europe to the gates of Vienna.

In 1928, six years after the Ottoman Empire collapsed, the Muslim Brotherhood began to spread its dark strain of violent fundamentalism from Egypt to Palestine and across the Muslim world. Islamism’s contagious proliferation ended the dialogue between Islam and the intellectual classes and demoted the role of reason in Islamic life. The Muslim Brotherhood’s principal philosopher, Sayyid Qutb, was contemptuous toward public education in science, math, and philosophy, believing that the only source of truth is the Koran. For Qutb, the purpose of education was not to celebrate life, or to nourish the intellect, but to indoctrinate children in the art of war, the glorification of death, and a blind obedience to an autocratic caliph.

Qutb railed against reason, which he considered the seed of apostasy. He sought to silence the humanities and viewed science as a sinister displacement of religion. He derided pluralism, rationalism, innovation, and tolerance. In doing so, he deprived Islam of its modern potential and its own greatest inheritance: the confidence to learn from the world, preserve its wisdom, and surpass it.

In his obituary for Muslim culture, The Closing of the Muslim Mind (2010), Robert R. Reilly recognizes that Qutb’s outlook dooms his followers to inertia. A religion that values obedience over initiative, that seeks to obviate independent reason, is a religion of violence. Where there is no framework for rational mediation, all disputes must be settled by force.

It didn’t worry Qutb that discouraging education in physics, mathematics, medicine, or engineering would atrophy intellectual and economic development in the Muslim world. Qutb explained that Muslim countries were so far behind the West in the sciences and technology that there was no hope to catch up. Muslims, he preached, should do what they do best—study the Koran and embrace martyrdom as the path for achieving global dominion: “The Muslim community today is neither capable of nor required to present before mankind great genius in material inventions, which would make the world bow its head before its supremacy.”

Qutb’s diatribe against Muslims competing in science and technology was nothing less than civilizational malpractice—especially given that he wrote it in 1964. Had Japan, Singapore, or South Korea accepted Qutb’s logic in 1964, they would have opted out of modernity. Instead, they chose to accept the challenge of competition. Their decision to engage has yielded stunning achievements that transformed their nations into economic and technological superpowers and enriched all of humanity.

The anti-intellectualism of Islamism—the rejection of evidence and the scientific method, the hostility toward objectivity, the suppression of contrary information, the deification of dogma, the embrace of pseudoscience, the contempt for reason as the path for discerning objective truth, and Islamism’s association of science with immorality—has helped close off the Islamic mind. The staggering metrics of intellectual and scholastic enfeeblement in Muslim nations attest to Islamism’s systematic squandering of human capital including the creative potential among the world’s two billion Muslims.

Korea issued 260,000 patents in 2024, while nine Arab countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, issued fewer than 10,000 in total, with 8,000 of these coming from a single nation—Saudi Arabia—which has made herculean efforts in recent years to de-Islamize its society. Japan, which represents about 1.5% of the world’s population and is practically devoid of natural resources, granted 306,855 patents in 2024 alone. There are 127 million Japanese, compared to 500 million Arabs.

According to Hillel Ofek’s 2011 analysis, there were a mere nine scientists, engineers, and technicians per thousand citizens in Islamic nations. The global average was forty-one. Among the 1,800 universities in Muslim nations, only 312 housed scholars who had published articles in journals.

Muslims represent 26% of the world’s population, and Muslim countries control half the world’s crude oil resources and 40% of natural gas resources. And yet the 53 Muslim countries combined publish only 5% of the world’s scientific literature. Hillel Ofek points to a 1989 study showing that in a single year, the United States published 10,481 frequently cited scientific papers, but during that same year, Arab countries published just four. A 2002 analysis of Arab science in Nature magazine identified only three scientific areas of excellence from Islamic countries: desalination, falconry, and camel reproduction. According to Nobel laureate physicist Steven Weinberg in 2011, “for forty years I have not seen a single paper by a physicist or astronomer working in a Muslim country that was worth reading.”

Contrast the Arabs’ dismal record of intellectual achievement in modern times with that of their closest cousins, the Jews, nearly all of whom live in democratic societies with laws that separate religion and politics.

Keep in mind that Jews, who number 15.8 million worldwide, represent a mere 0.2% of the world population. As of 2025, no Muslim has ever received the Nobel Prize in medicine or economics, and only four Muslim scientists—all living in Western democracies—have received the Nobel Prize in chemistry or physics. In contrast, some 200 Jews have received Nobel Prizes in science. About 26% of Nobel Prizes in math and science, 28% in medicine, 40% in economics, and 39% in chemistry have gone to Jews. Since 1901, some 22% of Nobel Prizes in all categories have gone to Jews.

Genocidal hatred against ALL Jews and Christians and other minorities is foundational to Islamism. Only in the West does Jew hatred pretend to require the alibi of Palestine or hide behind anti-Zionism. Muslim Brotherhood cosmology describes the universe as a cosmic, existential war between Islam and Jews that began with Muhammad and which only one side can survive. “Since Islam subdued them [in Medina],” Qutb warned, “they are unforgiving and fight furiously through conspiracies, intrigues, and also through proxies [the United States] who act in the darkness against all what Islam incorporates.” Islamist utopia will only emerge when every Jew is exterminated. Jews in Qutb’s theology are not just political adversaries, but perpetual and metaphysical evil. “The Jews,” he said, “are behind materialism, animal sexuality, the destruction of family, and the desolation of society.”

And Jewish genocide, for Islamism, is more than a theoretical aspiration. In 1948, the world’s 22 Arab nations were host to 750,000 Jews living in communities that predated Muhammad by 1,000 years. Today, there are virtually no Jews in those nations: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Algeria, Yemen, Mauritania, Somalia, Sudan, Jordan, Gaza, or the PA-governed areas of the West Bank; in Nazi terminology, they are Judenrein: Jew-free. There are fewer than 1,000 Jews in Tunisia, down from 105,000. In 1948, Christian populations represented 20% of those nations; today they represent 4%. These are the real ongoing genocides of the Mideast.

Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime bonded with early Islamists over their shared Jew hatred. The Nazis became the principal funder of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1930s, and the Muslim Brotherhood operated propaganda, espionage, and sabotage operations for the Nazis during World War II. Joseph Goebbels and an army of Nazi and ex-Nazi propagandists built the Muslim Brotherhood’s powerful propaganda machine in the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. The massive influx of money from Iran and the Gulf States starting in the 1990s turned this operation into an amplifier of unmatched power that makes Goebbels look like a piker. A global propaganda barrage by this outfit has distracted Hamas’s Western dupes from Islamism’s authentic genocides by persuading them that Israel committed a genocide in Gaza, even though, according to the CIA Factbook, Gaza’s population has actually increased since October 7, 2023.

Islamism is genocidal against Christians and Jews, but among its most pitiful victims are the Arab societies that suffer the misfortune of living under its rule. Despite all their petroleum wealth, Muslim countries have slipped behind Asia and Latin America in virtually every metric of political freedom, technological progress, and social well-being. Islamism’s merger of politics and religion has robbed Islam of its intellectual vigor and doomed most Muslim populations to living in stifling tyrannies with little freedom to elucidate their thoughts and speech or fulfill their creative potential. Those countries are predictably stagnant, unable to evolve in the modern world. The dark shadow of fundamentalism over scholarship and progress has proven toxic to the Muslims’ transition to modernity. The very civilization that practiced tolerance and celebrated pluralism and dialogue, filled a thousand libraries with its books, gave the world observatories and universities, and stunning innovations in science, has become closed, aggrieved, and violent, and averse to reason, curiosity, freedom of inquiry, and scholarship.

All 22 Arab nations in the Mideast and North Africa are autocratic dictatorships. Almost all are apartheid states that legally restrict the rights of minorities. Gays in many of the nations are put to death. Under sharia law, women have little more rights than cattle. They live stunted lives behind veiled faces, enduring systematic servitude, legalized domestic violence, child marriage, chattel slavery, and public stoning for adultery, which is legal for their husbands. In September 2021, the Taliban made it illegal for girls to attend school after age 12. The Taliban’s Vice and Virtue law forbids women from speaking aloud in public.

If you want to understand the Muslim Brotherhood’s vision for society, look no further than Gaza. Hamas, which rules Gaza, is the Palestine branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Palestinians have received over 4X per capita in international aid than Europeans received under the Marshall Plan. (See Clawson 2002.) Europe used its money to rebuild 17 nations. Palestinians couldn’t build themselves even one. Under Hamas’s iron fist, Gaza squandered its share on bombs, weapons, extravagant salaries for its billionaire kingpins, and a billion-dollar bunker and tunnel system built for its warriors—but off-limits to its citizens. Gaza remains a stunted and stagnant, impoverished society under tyrannical oppression, with no free speech or other basic freedoms. Hamas governs through force, including brutal crackdowns on discourse, public executions of dissenters and collaborators, tight controls on humanitarian aid distribution, and onerous taxes on almost every activity. No elections have occurred since Hamas took over in 2007. Instead of building a nation, Hamas has transformed Gaza into a death cult wallowing in victimhood, nursing aggrievements, addicted to violence, resentments, and yearning for a seventh-century miasma. Hamas nurses Palestinian infants from birth on genocidal hatred of ALL Jews—not just Zionists—and indoctrinates children in the savagery and unspeakable barbarism that the world witnessed on October 7. Hamas shows its contempt for the Palestinian people by deploying them as child soldiers and civilian shields, and placing rocket launchers and ammo dumps in schools and hospitals. Hamas’s greatest strengths are its propaganda operation and its willingness to impose unlimited pain on its own population to achieve its ideological goals.

Islamist governments like Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah distract their populations from their misery by blaming the myriad social ills and the predictable government failures on scapegoats: Jews, Zionists, and America. They’ll have us believe that all their derelictions are the result of the evil Zionists, the “Little Satan” Israel, and the “Great Satan,” the U.S. And just as victimhood is paralyzing to personal growth, it deprives Islamist nations of national success by robbing its practitioners of agency. Islamism’s cult of victimhood and its coterminous abolition of self-criticism have stagnated global Islam and locked it in hatred, violence, brooding resentment, and isolationism. Referring to the Arab world, Fouad Ajami described this as “a political tradition of belligerent self-pity.”

Contrast Gaza’s failures with the successes of its closest neighbor, Israel, a tiny sliver of swamp and desert 1/600th the size of its Arab neighbors, that blossomed into an agricultural juggernaut and a global economic and technological superpower. Jews took one of the few places in the Mideast with no oil, gas, or other resources, and despite being surrounded by enemies, they nevertheless turned the barren landscape into a vibrant, pluralistic democracy where Jews and Arabs vote as they please; worship according to their convictions; serve beside each other in the judiciary, the army, and political leadership; and enjoy equal rights. Women and gays in Israel have all the rights of men, and Israel’s biggest annual celebration is the Pride parade in Tel Aviv. As the only democracy in the Mideast, Israel is a robust and heroic outpost for freedom and Western values.

And Israel is merely a nugget among the bounties bestowed by Jews on Western civilization. There is no ethnic or religious group that has contributed more than Jews to the welfare of humanity or to the advancement of liberal democracy. Jewish traditions of ethics and thinking have shaped Western civilization and global progress through foundational moral concepts, including our monotheistic Christian belief system with its roots in Judaism, milestone scientific breakthroughs, medical innovation, and innumerable cultural achievements in art, literature, education, health, and entertainment. Relative to their proportion of the population, the astonishing contributions by Jews have been breathtaking. An abbreviated list would include medical advances like the polio vaccine (Jonas Salk, Albert Sabin), chemotherapy and immunology (Paul Ehrlich), streptomycin and the age of antibiotics (Selman Waksman), penicillin (Ernest Chain), pacemakers (Paul Zoll), and blood typing (Karl Landsteiner).

In sciences, a short list of Jewish luminaries would include Albert Einstein (theory of relativity), Niels Bohr (quantum mechanics), and Paul Berg (first recombinant DNA molecule).

Jewish contributions to business and technology include Google (Sergey Brin), Meta (Mark Zuckerberg), Oracle (Larry Ellison), Salesforce (Marc Benioff), Intel (Andrew Grove), and Dell Technologies (Michael Dell).

Jews virtually created the American entertainment industry, including founding six of the eight major Hollywood studios responsible for 75% of the classic Golden Age movies. They also revolutionized laughter. A 1978 TIME magazine survey found that 80% of professional comedians were Jewish.

The major figures of twentieth-century Western thought—Jesus Christ, Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, and Karl Marx—were all Jewish. Twenty percent of philanthropic giving in the United States comes from Jews. Jews compose twenty-five percent of America’s most generous givers. They are overrepresented on lists of secular organizations that benefit human rights, social security, higher education, personal freedom, and constitutional rights. They represent 14% of doctors and 29% of psychiatrists. Their contributions to America’s global economic leadership include Salomon Brothers, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Blackstone, Wells Fargo, and Vanguard. In a rational universe, wouldn’t non-Jews be expected to celebrate these contributions with gratitude?

Now, here are some things that Jews don’t do: suicide bombings, rape gangs, beheading people, killing gay people, aspiring to kill all non-Muslims, forcing young girls to wed older men, lynching women for wearing makeup or showing hair, female mutilation, religious dictatorship, Christian genocide, polygamy, rioting and burning down cities, applying the death penalty for leaving Islam, cooking babies in ovens, hijacking airliners (and driving them into buildings), bombing buses and crowded restaurants, disfiguring girls with acid for failing to wear the hijab, operating modern slave markets where hereditary Black slaves are bought and sold by Arabs, advocating global jihad, and committing 90% of the terrorist acts globally.

These are the gifts that Islamism has bestowed on the world, along with closed minds, poverty, starvation, ignorance, oppression, and violence. This comparison begs the question, “Why does the world hate Jews and embrace Islamists?

The answer, of course, is a sophisticated mass propaganda campaign that ignores evidence and inverts reality to make Israel a global villain.

Looking at Islamism’s track record, seven nations with substantial Muslim populations—Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Syria, and Russia—have outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, branding it as a terrorist organization. Kenya and Argentina have also banned the Brotherhood for fear of its impacts on their societies. The Brotherhood today sees its best opportunities for expansion as Western nations that are unequipped to deal with its tactics.

In 2004, the FBI discovered the U.S. Brotherhood’s archives in a Virginia basement, including a 1991 “Explanatory Memorandum” characterizing the Brotherhood’s work in America as “a kind of gradual Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within.” Muslim Brotherhood documents describe this process of gradual infiltration as “gradualism,” “entryism,” or “Da’awa.”

In a 1995 speech in Toledo, Ohio, the Brotherhood’s leading cleric, Yusuf al-Waradawi, told his audience: “We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da’awa.” As a board member and outreach chair of a Muslim Brotherhood front group, Abdul El-Sayed ran a high-school recruitment program entitled “How to do effective Da’awa.”

The Muslim Brotherhood’s explicit written strategy for taking over Western nations is to broaden its appeal through a “red–green alliance” by adopting Leftist rhetoric and allying itself with liberals, socialists, and communists. This was the strategy first initiated by Yasser Arafat in the 1960s and then implemented by Muslim Brotherhood acolyte Ayatollah Khomeini during his 1979 Iranian Revolution, and later by Muslim Brother Mohammed Morsi during his 2011 color revolution in Egypt. After they gained power, the Leftists, in each case, learned that they were not actually Islamism’s partners, but only its useful idiots. Khomeini hunted down, jailed, and murdered his former Leftist and communist allies. Morsi sidelined his. A 2012 Arabic-language statement bearing Abdul Al-Sayed’s name backed Morsi’s presidency and urged him to “purge” the media and police.

Anyone wondering what America’s future looks like if the Muslim Brotherhood gets its way has only to look at France, where Islamist mobs of the red–green alliance, following the Muslim Brotherhood playbook, chant communist phrases, wave Palestinian flags, and vent their destructive hostility toward the West by destroying the iconic monuments of our shared civilizations.

Abdul El-Sayed mocks his critics as Islamophobic or anti-Arab racists when they inquire about his continued loyalties to the Muslim Brotherhood. But El-Sayed and his family have long and deep entanglements with the terrorist organization. A 20,000-word investigation by The Project for the Investigation of Terrorism documents El-Sayed’s two decades of intensive affiliations with the Muslim Brotherhood, and nearly every one of its legacy front groups that the Brotherhood set up in the U.S. to Islamify and destroy our democracy. That same organization recorded dozens of instances in recent years where Abdul El-Sayed has either directly lied about his relationship or refused to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood.

On Oct. 1, an Ohio voter became the latest to ask Al-Sayed to disavow the Brotherhood. Under persistent badgering before national news cameras, Al-Sayed finally caved: “Sure. Yeah, absolutely!” he said unconvincingly. He then spent five minutes attacking the man’s motives.

El-Sayed said nothing about the Brotherhood itself, its ideology, or the Muslim Brotherhood front organizations he works with. A disavowal that names nothing and condemns nothing is a disavowal in name only.

Why can’t El-Sayed give us a full-throated and detailed condemnation of this terror group, and disavow also its poisonous ideology without ambiguity? Why can’t he acknowledge that the Muslim Brotherhood is a despicable terror organization, and that Islamism and sharia law are anathema to American values? Americans shouldn’t have to worry whether a U.S. Senate candidate has loyalty to an ideology that openly hates our country and has vowed to destroy it.

While it’s nice to see someone in his position calling out some of the facts of Islam, allowing it to wear a disguise negates the value of telling some of the truth. Much like if during WWII we had been told to embrace Nazis but beware of Naziist extremists or Nazismist fundamentalism. We would never have fought back and been taken over with very little difficulty. ‘Nazis after all, are the leftist politics of peace. It was really only the extremists that are the problem and if you read Mein Kampf properly, or not at all, you will see that.’ Right? Am I right or am I right?

RAIR published a piece on why it never used the word, Islamism:

Best read at RAIR linked above. But Andrew Bostom came out with a direct refutation of the post here:

A short excerpt…

In a personal “X” account posting 10/30/26, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr (RFK Jr.) criticized “Islamism” as an alleged “toxic ideology” that he averred was a “violent corruption of mainstream Islam.” RFK Jr. invoked current Al-Azhar University Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayeb as an authoritative avatar of mainstream Islam to bolster his contention about “Islamism” as being somehow distinct from normative Islam:

“Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar — the Muslim equivalent of the Vatican and the highest authority in Sunni Islamic thought — has rejected Islamism as ‘false Islam’ and a ‘perversion of the Islamic religion’ and accused it of ‘barbaric crimes.’”

Notwithstanding RFK Jr.’s assumptions, the invocation of Al-Azhar Grand Imam al-Tayeb completely undermines his false premise of “toxic Islamism” versus his imaginary Islam as an historical bastion of “reason and tolerance, cultivating a milieu of religious and intellectual freedom.”

Grand Imam al-Tayeb and Al-Azhar University in fact represent all the liberty-crushing totalitarianism, jihad bellicosity, and Sharia-bigotry of mainstream, authoritative Islam that RFK Jr. errantly decries as uniquely attributable to “Islamism,” and embodied by the bogeymen of the “Muslim Brotherhood.” The unbowdlerized public record of al-Tayeb, and Al-Azhar University reveals plainly his and Al-Azhar’s rejection of freedom of conscience and expression, sanctioning of traditional jihad war, and virulent, even annihilationist Islamic Jew-hatred.

During a 2016 interview, al-Tayeb reiterated his endorsement of the traditional Sharia-based rejection of freedom of conscience by sanctioning the killing of “apostates” from Islam because they were considered a “danger” to an Islamic society:

We could post a hundred videos from authoritative imams and Islamic leaders refuting this BS. As Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdo?an. said very clearly, “Islam is Islam is Islam”. He also said, Islam is sharia, sharia is Islam. Both these things are of critical importance to understand if there is any hope of pulling Western Civ out of the fire it put itself in.

But let me add our perspective here at Vlad.

One of the most common misunderstandings of Islam and European history is said by people who know enough about Islam to know it’s a problem, but not enough not to say the following:

‘The problem is, Islam has not had its reformation yet. It is still a young religion in its primitive state and needs its Martin Luther moment’. Or one of a dozen variants of that.

Here is why it’s wrong.

The protestant reformation was a reaction to the Catholic Church’s massive corruption at that stage. In fact it was somewhat similar to Islam, as the Church and its clergy would take money to give the faithful a ticket to heaven. Islam does that as a matter of doctrine. It isn’t even corrupt. It’s doctrinal Islam. Having watched maybe 100 videos asking for money from Muslims to build mosques in the West, they always mention that Mohammad made it clear that contributing to the building of mosques would guarantee you a place in the lascivious sky-brothel that is the Islamic paradise.

(sadaqah jariyah — “whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise,” Bukhari and Muslim)

But for Catholics, that was corruption. So Martin Luther demanded a reformation of Christianity that would bring it back to its authentic teachings of Jesus and the Gospels as he understood them. So reformation meant the disassembly of a corrupted ideology and institution and a return to its original structure and philosophy.

Well Islam has had that.

The Islamic reformation was by the emergence of the Ikhwan or Muslim Brotherhood in 1928 which was specifically created to restore the Islamic Caliphate. After WW1, the Islamic empire, which controlled the entire Middle East and other areas was broken up and under control of the allies, A contract was forced on the Middle East breaking it up into modern nation states instead of the Caliphate that it was, and making generally speaking, minorities in charge of majority populations. The theory was, that then there couldn’t be a massive Sunni Vs. Shia genocide. That there would be a kind of equilibrium and life could go on for everyone more or less safely. But the Muslim Brotherhood was in fact starting to reform Islam back to its jihadi-Caliphate, Koranically and scripturally correct form which was exactly as Mohammad is reported to have done things. Islam as it is today is the reformed version. The few decades we enjoyed where Islam was staying in its own lane and enjoying Western (mostly Roman in nature) institutions and methodology, including a more rational system of laws, was being disassembled. Looking at photos from Iran and Afghanistan in the 1960s and now gives you the general idea.
