What do Communism, Fascism, and Islam Have In Common?

Some pundits have called our so called “War On Terror” World War III. For those of us old enough to remember the Cold War, WW III conjured up images of mushroom clouds. The old Soviet Union, or perhaps Red China invading neighboring countries, setting off a nuclear holocaust. The dead would be envied as rest of us were rotting away from radiation sickness or staving to death as the result of a “nuclear winter”. Needless to say, none of this ever happened.
The Soviet Union couldn't keep up with the Arms Race, Glasnost was instituted, the Berlin Wall crumbled, and the USSR was broken up into several parts. Chalk one up for capitalism, the free market economy just out-produced totalitarian communism.

These results may seem obvious to us capitalists now. It just stands to reason that a free worker would be more efficient than a worker restricted by a communist overlord. China has out -lasted the USSR by accepting elements of capitalism and resisting the temptation of the arms race and the space race. Although the Soviet Union, the birthplace of the communist revolution, may be a shadow of it's former self, totalitarianism is alive and well. It lives in China when tanks roll over protesters at Tinnamen Square, convinces Google to censor the Internet, or chases the Dali Lama out of Tibet. Totalitarianism also rules nearly all Muslim nations. If it were not for the Iraq War, the entire Muslim world would be ruled by dictatorship. Palestine, when given a choice, voted in Hamas, a known terrorist organization. Even this election was forced upon the Palestinians as part of the “Road map to Peace”.

Democracy is the standard in all Christian nations, but exists in Islam only by outside force. Why is this? Democratic principals work best in a secular environment. Secularism is strictly forbidden by Islam's sharia law. A code so strict it dictates what hand to wipe with. Founded by Mohamed in the seventh century, sharia law has remained essentially unchanged for
1400 years. This is why public stonings , female circumcism, and beheadings, are still practiced in the Middle East.

Unlike Christianity and Judaism, Islam has never undergone a major reformation. This enables the Imams to keep the people under total control for fear of death or mutilation as prescribed by sharia law. Apostates, those who leave the Islamic faith, are to be put to death. Imagine if Christianity and Judaism were still this brutal and legalistic, free elections and free speech would be impossible. Like Joe Stalin or Adolph Hitler slaughtering millions without question, absolute power. Fascism and Communism cannot allow themselves to be questioned. Totalitarian ideals hold the rights of the state above the individual .

Sharia law brings state and religion together as Allah's law on Earth and holds itself above all. Including other religions. In this sense, Islam has always been political as well as spiritual. Modern society thrives on self criticism and self improvement, urging a continual evolution. Islam rejects this process, condemning itself to stagnation and cursing a world that has surpassed them. This has become the primary source of inner torment for much of the Muslim world that cannot accept a superior economy run by Infidels. It must be fault of the deviant Jews.

Mohamed constantly berates and attacks the Jews in the Koran, warning of their deception and avarice. This hatred spans the entire Muslim world that stretches from Morocco to
Southeast Asia. All that befalls Islam finds a common home, Israel. Muslims in the Sudan or Canada curse the existence of a Jewish state. Muslims in England or Pakistan decry the “International Zionist Conspiracy” and commonly refer to the United States as the second Israel.
The faith that cannot be questioned, run by governments that cannot be questioned, will be forever trapped in a cycle of failure, denial and revenge.
