Bang a drum loudly. BBC humping the meme that ‘radical Islam’ is due to poverty and corruption

Last night the BBC aired a fairly good documentary on Dagestan and the Saudi-funded and inspired Salafi (Orthodox) Islamic insurgence that seeks to overthrow the secular state and install a sharia based, Islamic caliphate.

What makes this otherwise-important short documentary so annoying is the persistent insertion of the meme that this form of religiosity is tied to poverty or economics when even this documentary admits that the inspiration is from Saudi Arabia, Among the wealthiest per-capita nations on earth, and that every study on terrorists have shown them to be at least middle class and usually with average to better than average educations.

What inspires Muslims to fight, kill, terrorize and demand an Islamic state is simple actually.

Islam.

Thank you very much UK Pete for taking the time and effort to get this clip for us. I have been looking forward to it for a couple of days.

(A better version of this video is on the way but for now, this is still the complete 11 minutes)

Here is a video subtitled by us and translated by a friend of ours, of a Dagestani terrorist leader, one well known to Russian security and the one who reportedly is behind many attacks on Russian soft-targets. While this video is from last year, it does help dispel the ‘economic cause’ nonsense.

  1. head of the school is murdered and the news reporter interviews a Muslim from those of the terrorist cult that did it, with him saying how peace loving he is.

    No bias there.

  2. That Islam is in any way a reaction to financial inequity and that it’s enemies are corrupt is one of the oldest islamic propoganda tricks there is.

    In the original texts it is claimed that the reasons Christians didn’t want to become muslim was because they would make less money.

    It’s purpose is to smear the morals of non muslims and to trick the dissafected into supporting them.

    As we can see that propoganda is still used in every way possible today. Islamists use it to trick left wing secular organizations into becoming their cats paws and use it as a phoney cause belli when creating insurections as we saw this year in Tunesia and Egypt.

    Once this propoganda serves it’s purpose and they achieve power they turn on the leftist groups and abandon the poor.
