Suppose Islam Had a Holocaust and No One Noticed
By Daniel Greenfield

While Western newspapers were debating whether or
not to reprint the Mohammed cartoons, in Nigeria as
many as 2,000 people were massacred by the Islamic
State in Nigeria, also known as Boko Haram, in what
is being called the deadliest attack by the Muslim
group to date.
Survivors
described the Islamic State setting up efficient
killing teams and massacring everyone
while shouting “Allahu Akbar”. "For five kilometers
(three miles), I kept stepping on dead bodies until
I reached Malam Karanti village, which was also
deserted and burnt," one survivor said.
There’s a word for that. It’s genocide.
The Islamic State in Nigeria had reportedly managed
to kill 2,000 people last year. This year they did
it in one week. But we don’t pay much attention to
what happens in Nigeria unless there’s a hashtag. No
one has yet thought up a clever hashtag for the
murder of 2,000 people. #Bringbackourdead doesn’t
really work.
The Islamic State’s next target is Maiduguri, the
largest city in Borno with a population of over a
million. Known as the “Home of Peace”, if Maiduguri
falls, the death toll will be horrific.
The Catholic Archbishop, Ignatius Kaigama, warned
that the killing wouldn’t stop in Nigeria. “It's
going to expand. It will get to Europe and
elsewhere.”
Of course it already has, but not on the same scale.
“We will conquer Europe one day. It is not a
question of (if) we will conquer Europe, just a
matter of when that will happen,” an Islamic State
spokesman had warned. “The Europeans need to know
that when we come, it will not be in a nice way. It
will be with our weapons.”
“Those who do not convert to Islam or pay the
Islamic tax will be killed.”
Imagine that the burning towns and villages aren’t
in Nigeria or Syria. Imagine them in France or
Sweden. It’s not that great of a leap from armed
cells carrying out attacks to a militia capturing
entire towns and villages. They’re different phases
in the same conflict.
Al Qaeda in Iraq went from a terror group carrying
out suicide bombings to running a state in a decade.
So did Hamas in Israel. There are already zones in
Europe under the control of unofficial Sharia
police. France has fewer Muslims than Nigeria and a
more stable government with professional police and
military forces. These two factors are the only ones
keeping Islamic genocide at bay.
The massacres in France were carried out by the same
types of men and movements responsible for the
killings in Nigeria and Iraq. They just aren’t
organized enough and still lack the numbers to
conduct the same large scale genocide that they are
already carrying out in Nigeria, Syria and Iraq.
Two Islamic States, one in Nigeria and another in
Iraq/Syria, are engaged in genocide. Obama delayed
responding to ISIS until it was already engaged in
genocide and was moving on Baghdad. His people have
done everything possible to avoid responding to the
Boko Haram genocide in Nigeria.
The usual excuses are there. The central governments
are compromised, incompetent and corrupt. The only
possible solution is political. The real issue is
poverty. Meanwhile the killing and the denial go on.
The foreign policy infrastructure, the human
rights NGOs and the self-important scribblers who
presume to tell the world what is important in the
pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post
have fought hard to avoid connecting the killings by
the Islamic State in Nigeria to the killings by the
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. And they have
fought hardest of all to avoid connecting these
killings to the thousands murdered in the streets of
New York and the latest bodies strewn about Paris.
The killings can be connected with three simple
words; global Islamic genocide.
The European intellectuals of the last century were
too fixated on their vision of a better world to
understand what was happening in Germany and Japan.
And what had to be done about it. While they dreamed
of a world government that would do away with war,
the killing had already begun.
The intellectuals of this century are equally
unwilling to take their attention away from
microfinance, climate change and world government to
see the beginnings of a worldwide Holocaust
underway.
Genocide isn’t new to Africa or the Middle East so
they put it down to local tribal conflicts.
Terrorism isn’t new to America or Europe, so they
blame political extremism. Like the elephant and the
blind men who touched its trunk and thought it was a
snake, they respond to the local manifestation of
Islamic genocide by seeing a familiar local
phenomenon; tribal war, political extremism or
minority problems.
And anyone who sees the big picture is instantly
denounced as an Islamophobe. But what if the Muslim
genocide of Hindus and Buddhists in Asia and the
Muslim genocide of Christians and Jews in the Middle
East are part of the same phenomenon?
What if the Islamic State killers in Nigeria who
shout “Allahu Akbar” during their massacres share a
motive with the 9/11 hijackers who were told to
“shout 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in
the hearts of the non-believers”?
What if a common bloody thread of Koran verses runs
through the massacres of non-Muslims in the
Philippines and Kenya, in Israel and Australia, in
France and China, in Thailand and Syria?
What if the acts of terror on the evening news are
not random events, workplace violence, mental
illness and political extremism, but the beginning
of another global Islamic genocide?
The rise of Islam was not based on faith, but on
mass murder.
Within a few centuries of the time that Mohammed had
ordered the ethnic cleansing of Jews and Christians
from the Arabian Peninsula, the massacre of millions
of Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists was
underway across the Middle East through India and as
far as Afghanistan.
The Islamic Holocaust was the greatest act of mass
murder in human history. And it is still taking
place today over a thousand years later.
The decay of the Roman Empire created an opening for
the Islamic conquests. As Western civilization,
which plays much the same role as the Roman Empire
did in tying parts of the world together, falls, a
new wave of Islamic conquest and genocide is
underway.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to
repeat it," George Santayana wrote.
It would be a terrible thing indeed if we were
condemned to repeat the mass murder of hundreds of
millions and the eradication of entire civilizations
under the black flag of the Jihad because we refused
to remember the past or acknowledge the present.
Because we were too afraid of being called
Islamophobic to speak out for the dead around the
world.
It
would be a terrible thing if the Nigerian village of
today were to become a Swedish village tomorrow. It
would be an even worse thing if the Muslim conquests
of India were to be repeated in Europe.
Genocide is an ugly word.
It’s a word that we have come to associate with
villages in Africa or with old concentration camps
in Europe. We don’t think of it as something that
can happen to us or to our children.
But we should.
The Islamic wars from Nigeria to Israel, from Iraq
to Kashmir, are genocidal. Israel may become the
first Western country to suffer Islamic genocide,
but it will not be the last. 9/11 was the first
Islamic mass murder of thousands of Americans, but
it will not be the last.
In the face of genocide, our first duty is to warn
the world.
The Counterjihad is a war for our survival. It is
our resistance to global Islamic genocide.
