New in PJ Media:
Is Islam good for you? Is it actually beneficial for individuals and societies?
These questions have seldom, if ever, been asked. Most people in America today, having been the unwitting victims of a quarter-century of propaganda, assume that Islam, like all other religions, is peaceful and benign, beneficial to both individuals and societies, albeit “hijacked” at the hands of a “tiny minority of extremists,” the likes of which we see in all religious traditions.
Yet the constant drumbeat continues: there are jihad attacks around the world virtually every day, and increasingly in the United States. All of their perpetrators insist they acted in accord with Islamic teachings. There is a distressingly large number of converts to Islam who have become terrorists, while it would be exceedingly difficult to find a convert to Christianity or any religion other Islam who became a terrorist acting, by his own account, in accord with his new religion’s teachings.
Societies that implement Islamic law, meanwhile, are uniformly human rights basket cases. Even in majority-Muslim countries that do not implement Islamic law, such as Turkey and Egypt, non-Muslims do not enjoy full equality of rights with Muslims. In fact, Muslims do not accord non-Muslims full equality of rights in any majority-Muslim society on earth. These states are also generally in the tank economically, with the notable exception of those who have experienced that happiest of geological accidents, and struck oil.
So is there something about Islam that not only makes many converts turn to terrorism, but also that hampers economic growth, as well as the development of truly pluralistic societies in which people of differing beliefs can live together with equal rights, without trying to subjugate or kill one another?
The answer is yes, according to my new book, The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses, and these are not abstract or idle questions. For as our national divisions grow deeper, and the legion of those who live here but hate the United States and all it stands for, and has stood for historically, grows larger, there is an increasing number of voices who say that there is a solution to our societal confusion, and that solution is Islam.
Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the Islamic Movement in Israel, preached on Feb. 2, 2024 that America was on its way out, and that the world had to prepare accordingly: “America has grown old. It is old. It is on the verge of retirement. It is about to be admitted into a nursing home.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

I’m willing to entertain the possibility that as far as the desert Arab tribes go, Islam was better, or at least less bad, than the status quo ante. But my understanding of said status quo makes that a pretty low bar.

Does Islam work: in a nut shell, NO
Nothing in Islam makes a bit of sense especially for people who take the time to learn about it & its true purpose to destroy humanity especially western values that will never accept Islam.

Do STD’s work? Pretty much the same way as Islam

Apparently Islam doesnt work. Everywhere Islam goes none of the work and they are almost all on welfare.

It “works” in terms of setting societies back once it takes over – as in sabotaging societies that convert to it. But it does nothing to advance its own followers

This is so true. The Turks of Turkey accepted Islam and its ideology voluntarily then forming the Ottoman Empire to conquer as much as they can and the Egyptians whom most are native surrendered out of no choice from persecution since the Islamic conquest by the Arabs. Well medieval period for Islam and now present modern world, Islam can not win as they are trying terroists with there ideology that is like corrupted cancer. In Turkey non Muslims would be completely foreign according to there history, unlike Egypt that still has Coptic Christian’s who remained Christian and there ancestors were resilient to Islam in any way they can unlike the native Muslims in Egypt who surrendered out fear in the past centuries and now some get brain washed and want these cancer ideologies against kuffar. Well non Muslim’s in Turkey can’t do much as they would be completely foreign to Turkish culture. However, as for Egypt’s Coptic Christian’s the best strategy and for the future with unfairness and lack of equality is to rebel against any unfairness or evilness with the use of destruction by rebelling if they want too by destroying cities such as those in Northern Egypt particularly Alexandria. Good choice Coptic Christian’s Christmas is national holiday in Egypt with president Sisi first ever president celebrating it with them yearly to promote national unity rather than obstacles being formed that can tarnish the country’s reputation. Yes influential non muslims can indeed cause dramas and even ruin everything by being rebellious from injustice, which is course much better than silence.

Well since Islam has the aim of subjugating all of humanity and dragging everybody back to living 7th century arab life Muslims might win and that would be Islam working. The reason it could happen is because our societies are so clueless about Islam’s evil nature that they let Muslims invade and Muslims breed like maggots. But Islam is barbaric filth and poison to civilised human behaviour. It will be tragedy if it wins drags humanity back to a very dark ages.

As for the question “Does Islam work ?’ The answer is “Yes'” or Islam does work in the sense that Satan designed it to work . For that religion inspires a number of Its to murder people , in the violent and deadly jihad. It also works in what it incites Muslim fathers to murder their daughters, calling it honor killing,”
Islam works exactly as the Devil meant it inflect severe cruel injury on very young girls by female genital mutilation ,calling “female circumcision.” Islam works in the way of inspiring the brutal hash oppression of females , both girls and women by Muslim rulers in Islamic countries because of that religion’s fiendish misogyny.
Last but not the least, is that Satan structured and formulated to work by it being a false religion designed to led astray million of sincere people astray and likewise away from the truth of the Jesus of the Bible and therefore straight into hell.
This is tragic m the most horrific sense of the word.
Walter Sieruk says
Regarding the question “Does Islam work ? The answer is that Islam works very well in effectively deceitfully denying basic Bible doctrines . So much so that Islam may ,rightly may be described, as a religion of denial. Meaning that Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. As in the Son of God Who is God the Father. Furthermore, Islam denies the Jesus is God the Son. In addition, Islam denies that Jesus is God. Before going over these three denials of Islam it first should the stated the Bible instructs the way to tell if a prophet or religious teacher is really from and of God or not is do the teachings and doctrines of that prophet of teacher really fit in accord what is found in the Bible ? For if that prophet or teachers and teachers doctrines that are in contradiction to the Bible then that prophet is a false prophet and that religious teacher is a false teacher and thus in doctrinal error and darkness. Likewise if a religion had teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction that is religion is in error also part of the world of darkness and is therefore a false religion. As the Bible instructs in Isaiah 8:20. “To the law of the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” [K.J.V.] With this clearly stated, three things should be known.
First, that Islam denial that Jesus is the Son of God is in great contradiction to the teaching of the Bible . Which reveals the Jesus is the Son of God? As seen in ,for example Matthew 3:16,17. 16:15,16. Luke 1:35. John 3:16-18, 36. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13. Second, that Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son is in strong contradiction to the Bible. As found in Hebrews 1:6-8. With emphasis on verse 8. Third, Islam’s denial that Jesus is God is in great contrast to the doctrine and teaching of the Bible. That Jesus is God may be found in ,for example, John 1:1;3. Colossians 1:15-17. 2:9. Romans 9:5 Second Peter 1:1. Titus 2:13. First John 5:20.
Moreover, to further discover that the Bible teachings that Jesus is God all a person has to do is to compare the Old Testament with New Testament to see that Jesus is God. As in comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. with Philippians 2:5-11. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. with Mathew 8:23-27. will reveal that Jesus is God. Likewise, by comparing Psalm 62:5-7 . with First Corinthians 10:4. shows the Deity of Jesus. Even by comparing the News Testament books together will show that Jesus is God. As in comparing Romans 14:12. with John 5:22. will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough, for all who are willing to see the truth, that Jesus is, indeed, the Son of God. That Jesus is God the Son and that Jesus is God.
The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain’ this all away by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted by Christians, through time, and that’s way the Bible reads as it does.
This claim, very much, underestimate the Power of God to protect and preserve His Word ,through time , and to keep in intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, in light and information of the Bible in can be seen that Islam is a awful and terrible doctrinal error concerning it teaching about the Nature of Jesus and therefore Islam is part of the world of darkness. So Islam with its strong contradictions to the Bible is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12.
So all dear Muslims are thus invited to leave the false religion of Islam and come the and receive the Jesus of the Bible who is the only way to heaven, John 14:6. and the True Light of the world. John 8:12.
