MEMRI BLOG:
On November 26, the jihadi website Shumoukh Al-Islam posted an article by senior Al-Qaeda operative ‘Abdallah Al-‘Adam, known as “Abu ‘Ubaida,” titled “The World on the Brink of Anarchy.” In it, he claims that the Arab countries will not stabilize but deteriorate into anarchy, because the Muslims, and especially the Arabs, are not suited for democracy and can be ruled “only by force or through religion.” He also claims that the U.S. is about to collapse, and that its demise will generate a global economic crisis so severe that it will pitch the entire world into anarchy. Abu ‘Ubaida advises the mujahideen to take advantage of the power vacuum that ensues throughout the world, and to prepare public opinion for the coming of the Caliphate. He also advises them to prepare for the wars that will come by amassing weapons and turning their paper money into gold.
Fill the vacume of order? Ha ha that is rich indeed. Look at the islamic world. The followers of this ideology are only capable of creating anarchy and chaos. In all places where there is order in the islamic world it was established by others first and the islamists piggy backed on that order then slowly destroy it.
They create anarchy and lawlessness thru their religion then use it as an excuse for extreme draconianism. The chaos and draconianism are two sides of the same coin and coexist in a sybiotic relationship.
Take rape as an example. Elements of the religion makes men view rape as acceptable, so rape increases. In responce the penalty for it is draconian as they say that is the only thing that will stop it rather than developing an individuals moral center.
So first it destroys the internal moral center then introduces external controls in responce to that failing.
I don’t know if that example is intentional but their style of conquest in many countries mirrors that process. They attack a countries ability to police then present themselves as the solution for the resulting breakdowns in law and order. It is not a coincedence that so many police have been killed in Iraq.
They also attack a countries infrastructure or methods of wealth production then present themselves as a solution to the resulting increase in poverty.
A Muslim Brotherhood group attacked tourists in Egypt in order to damage the countries most significant source of income. After that the Muslim Brotherhood presented themselves as the solution to the increase in poverty.
The creation of chaos does not end with the assumption of islamist power as their belief system remains in place to make impossible the development of internal moral controls and provide constant incitement to ignore whatever external moral controls that are instituted.
Democracies are capable of resolving or living with differences without resorting to violence and civil war. Islmaists on the other hand use interpersonal violence and external draconian controls as a first option and civil war as a second. Their religion makes people incapable of resolving differences civily or achieving happiness legally.
More islam means more anarchy and the arab spring has only been a return to islamic normal.
Christianity internalises while Islam externalises. It produced a civilization where people look within for the sources of morality and ethics (in various ways). This is like the mortar between bricks.
This can be seen in child’s development of ethical morality. In the earliest stages all right and wrong is determined by weather one is punished or not. In later stages of normal development what determines right and wrong changes from external punishment to internal judment.
Islam on the other hand created a world view with only externalization and no internalization. This is contrary to normal human development. On the societal level it is like creating a brick structure without mortar. The resulting building can stand but not well and not for long.
Islam creates chaos because it handicaps mans ability to create real order and real morality.
So good luck with that caliphate thing.
Truthiocity says:I don’t know if that example is intentional but their style of conquest in many countries mirrors that process.

Good comment. The above is also standard Marxist/communist/Leftist strategy.
We are seeing this in the West, as Leftists ally with Muslims.
Thank you Obama. But we have a secret weapon. It’s called the American spirit.
Thank you, too,Bill and Hil. Was this the legacy you were going for?
He is right about the world being on the brink of anarchy, but he is wrong about the Moslems stepping in to fill the void, the collapse of law in Europe and the US will usher in a period of varying degrees of anarchy in the west. The problem for the Moslems is that this anarchy will allow the pro western groups to remove the influence of the Moslems, then they will be stuck with military conquest. Since their military equipment is manufactured in Western nations they will not be able to conquer the west.
