What President Trump may, or may not understand about Islam and why his peace deal will fail

Posted on by

In 628 AD between the Qurayshi gang leader who subsequently became known as “the Prophet Mohammad”, and the leader of a fairly liberal people who built and was the dominant culture of a city then and still called, Mecca, a peace treaty was signed. The treaty had to be brought into existence because Mohammad and his gang had attacked Mecca with the intention of making it his first real political/military victory after successfully robbing a number of trade caravans.

When he lost that war, he signed a deal with the Meccans to not attack them for another 10 years.

Two years later, Mohammad attacked Mecca again when he felt he was stronger and the Meccans had let down their guard.

This became the template for Islamic military strategy going forwards. It has to be understood that in Islam, Mohammad is considered to be the perfect person. Literally he should be emulated in all ways by everyone. So when you see an elderly Muslim ‘marrying’ a 6 year old girl, he is not evil in their eyes, but very religious.

Examples of the tactic used against the Meccans, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah betrayal, are common throughout history. A famous one is the dual treaty signed by the earliest Marines after fighting the Jihadis on the oceans known as ‘The Barbary Pirates’ back to Tripoli where the English copy of the treaty and the Arabic were not the same.

The most recent example is likely Oct. 7 in Israel where a group of Muslims totally snapped up on bloodlust attacked young partiers at a music festival in 2023. The Israelis, (despite the propaganda) actually believed that Hamas was now concerned more with trying to create an economy and a better life for their people and had given up the intention of Jihad and Jewish genocide.

(I have this from personal conversations with a lot of people in positions to know)

It is clearly at most, a minor variation of the strategy of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.

At around 3 minutes, President Trump mentions the one rocket that didn’t land.

He is likely referring to an Iranian missile fired towards Israel at a non-target. This would be a test. Break the cease fire in a small way. get no response. Then break it in incrementally larger ways.

Islam wins primarily by deception, and taking advantage of how the enemy, all of us, think. Much like communism. We just can’t believe they think as they do. And we like feeling virtuous. So we risk ourselves to trust the other.

Trump may or may not understand this and may or may not be playing “4D chess” as they say.

We know he is capable of it. But the ethos and raw strategic nature of Islam is exactly as I said. Mohammad was the perfect man.

Whatever he did is to be emulated in all ways by all Muslims.

If Mohammad won a military victory by using a peace deal as a gambit then Muslim polities are to do that.

Muslim armies have in fact done that repeatedly.

A ‘harmless’ rocket fired ‘by accident’ from Iran is a test of resolve. The only way to deal with it, is a major response which diminishes Iran’s ability to wage war.

  1. Why must our hearts break after all the bloodshed of the last 12 days, the now 626 days since October 7, 2023, the extraordinary bravery of Israel’s fighters, and the perseverance of the Israeli people? Why has Donald Trump tied Israel’s hands and rescued the mullahs to fight again—to build back their nuclear program and their proxies? Why has one American president after another helped to build the Ayatollahs in Iran, starting with Jimmy Carter?

    Vlad, I would love to see you join forces with Francisco Gil White, a professor, anthropologist and historian, https://franciscogilwhite.substack.com. Francisco’s work supports the thesis that we are witnessing a historical pattern of powerful leaders enslaving their people—a pattern that stretches back to the earliest civilizations. Nonetheless, why has Netanyahu let his hands be tied?

    • Thank-you, Miriam, the right questions.
      Prof. Gil-White is daring – sketches hypotheticals, alternative thinking – awesome.

  2. ALL OF THE ABOVE IS TRUE AS WE’VE SEEN THROUGHOUT HISTORY. THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH ISLAM IS TO DESTROY IT.

      The Iranian Negotiating Tactic the Trump Administration Doesn’t Get

      Across the political spectrum in Tehran – from surly Revolutionary Guards to the regime’s more moderate diplomats and technocrats – the first round of nuclear talks in Oman between the United States and the Islamic Republic has been greeted with a measure of optimism. Iran’s savvy and smug foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, professed himself satisfied. The supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has blessed a second meeting with President Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, scheduled in Rome this weekend.

      In other words, far from being a supplicant, the Islamic Republic is exuding confidence.

      For too long, U.S. officials have fooled themselves about the nuclear-deterrent capacity of economic sanctions. Now that the Trump administration has decided to reopen negotiations, it’s important that they understand their adversary better, particularly the limits of sanctions to affect Iran’s behavior.

    • There are 2 billion Muslims in the world. And now because of the pathological stupidity of Western European elites, they are a fifth column in France and England and soon Germany

      Moreover, there about 4 billion other people in Eurasia who aren’t concerned about Islam at all.
      So how could we do this without destroying ourselves?

  3. About Oct. 7: from what I’ve heard and read, Hamas indeed tricked Shin Beith negotiators, and lulled Israel into a false sense of security.
    It is also my understanding that the reason for the attack was the rapprochement between Israel and SA. Iran couldn’t let them form a united front, or their shadow empire in the ME would be over. So they planned this attack, knowing full well that Israel’s response would be swift an lead to a protracted war in Gaza itself. Which would lead to civilian casualties, which Hamas & friends are great at exploiting.
    As long as Israel is stuck in Gaza, there is no way SA can make any kind of deal with them. So the leaders of Hamas got what they wanted, by using Gaza’s population as human shields / cannon fodder.

  4. You cannot destroy Islam
    They are billions
    Israel should stop and just allow a Palestinian state
    It is not acceptable to get USA involved
    They are controlling the USA government
    Enough
    We had enough of Jews dictating to who should die for criminal Israel

  5. President Trump may finally be a match for the evil that wants forever wars. President Trump has stated that his legacy would be to usher in a new golden age of peace and prosperity. Promises made, promises kept is a slogan of this President. He has delivered a great deal so far. Time will tell what happens in the Middle East. Ultimately, we are in the hands of our Father.

  6. USA indirectly makes grants to people convicted of murdering Israelis and sells arms to Israel. What could go wrong?

    When you talk about Jews dying for Israel are you referring to Jesus or to who?

      This is a keeper. Goes into my files.

    • It seems that way because the international media doesn’t report “offensive” content – unless it can slam the joooz. Just orchestrated, overwhelming enemy propaganda. And we’ll never hear national positions because the political echelon is (a) not on our side, and (b) cowardly. But we’ve got plenty of company around the globe.

      India, the most populous country in the world, is concerned enough to fight the enemy directly. Very much our partner.

      Despite Putin’s oily rhetoric, ethnic Russians (and Russian-adjacent peoples of the former USSR) are doing everything short of screaming from the rooftops. It’s the single most urgent issue separating the government from the people it’s supposed to represent.

      China pours honey on those with power and money but won’t tolerate open practice of the faith within its own boundaries.

      We can’t let ourselves get demoralized. That’s the hardest part.
