ROBERT SPENCER: What is repulsive to us and what is morally repugnant to us is a marketing tool for them.

The speaker is Robert Spencer.  His Twitter feedRobert Spencer books.

The Quranic imperative is to fight until religion is all for Allah.  The Quranic imperative is to subjugate the Jews and the Christians and other people of the Book under the hegemony of the Muslims and make sure that they feel every day the wrath of Allah as is the Muslims responsibility to execute on this Earth.  And these are fundamentally theological concepts.  So when our Administration says, "Islamic state has nothing to do with Islam," they are cutting themselves off from the only thing that makes coherent what they are doing.  

Finally Chapter 33, Verse 50, "O prophet, we have made lawful for you your wives whose bridal dues you have paid and the slave girls you possess from among the spoils of war."  So this makes it very clear that these are women who'd been captured in war.  And they are non-Muslim women and it is well delineated in Islamic theology that a man can have as many as 4 wives and also these sex slaves that are non-Muslim women that've been captured in war.  This is exactly what the Islamic State did.  And note also, that the Islamic State didn't make this up.  The Islamic State did not originate this.  The Nigerian group Boko Haram, well before the Islamic State did it, also captured a number of non-Muslim women and was doing exactly the same thing.  And remember Michelle Obama had the #bringbackourgirls?  That was about Boko Haram in Nigeria.  Same thing. Because they're both working from the same Islamic principles that are in the Quran.  What is repulsive to us and what is morally repugnant to us is a marketing tool for them. Young Muslims see this.  They read the Quran.  They know what's in it.  And so they see the Islamic State doing this, the beheadings, the sex slavery, the rest of it, and they think, "At last, authentic Islam.  We now see somebody actually doing with the Quran says instead of bowing to the opinion of the infidel westerners and saying no, no, no, we must not do that." And so they've made recruits, 30,000, as I said. 30,000 Muslims from around the world have gone to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State because they read the same Quran.

DAN BURMAWI: If Christianity goes, it does not go alone. With it goes everything it produced and then secularized: human dignity, equality before the law, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, limits on state power, the idea that rulers answer to something higher than themselves.

What makes a king and a homeless man equal? Nature does not, power does not, history does not. Only one idea does: that both are made in the image of God. --Dan Burmawi

from Dan Burmawi,

Christianity in the West is not just another religion. It is the moral infrastructure of the civilization. And the atheists who can’t wait to see it disappear will one day regret their contribution to pushing it out, just as their master, Dawkins, did last year. If Christianity goes, it does not go alone. With it goes everything it produced and then secularized: human dignity, equality before the law, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, limits on state power, the idea that rulers answer to something higher than themselves. These did not fall from the sky. They were not discovered by pure reason. They were not produced by biology or evolution. They were born from a worldview. What makes a king and a homeless man equal? Nature does not, power does not, history does not. Only one idea does: that both are made in the image of God. What about freedom of speech? Why should anyone be allowed to say what they think? Because in the biblical worldview, conscience belongs to God before it belongs to the state. Because truth is not created by authority. That is not Greek philosophy, or Roman law, or modern science. That is Judeo-Christian theology translated into politics. What about limited state power? Why shouldn’t the state control everything? Because in the biblical model, the state is not divine. It is not sacred. It is not the source of morality. It is restrained because God stands above it. Remove God, and the state has no ceiling. So when people say:“Human reason produced these values,” they are confusing inheritance with invention. You did not invent them, you were born into them. Societies that abandon Christianity keep the language of rights but lose the substance. They still say “human dignity,” but they can no longer explain why humans have it. They still say “freedom,” but they redefine it as appetite. They still say “equality,” but they replace it with grievance. When we defend Judeo-Christian principles we are defending the moral architecture of the West. A society can survive anything except the destruction of its moral foundation. Those who cheer the death of Christianity believe they are freeing society. In reality, they are removing the load-bearing walls. And when the roof collapses, they will discover too late that what they hated was what was holding everything up.
