Demand for additional resources - the key to civilizations


New "research"


PNAS May 28, 2013 vol. 110 no. 22
Coevolution of farming and private property during the early Holocene
Samuel Bowles, and Jung-Kyoo Choi

The advent of farming around 12 millennia ago was a cultural as well as technological revolution, requiring a new system of property rights. Among mobile hunter–gatherers during the late Pleistocene, food was almost certainly widely shared as it was acquired. If a harvested crop or the meat of a domesticated animal were to have been distributed to other group members, a late Pleistocene would-be farmer would have had little incentive to engage in the required investments in clearing, cultivation, animal tending, and storage. However, the new property rights that farming required—secure individual claims to the products of one’s labor—were infeasible because most of the mobile and dispersed resources of a forager economy could not cost-effectively be delimited and defended. 
 
The resulting chicken-and-egg puzzle might be resolved if farming had been much more productive than foraging, but initially it was not. Our model and simulations explain how, despite being an unlikely event, farming and a new system of farming-friendly property rights nonetheless jointly emerged when they did. This Holocene revolution was not sparked by a superior technology. It occurred because possession of the wealth of farmers—crops, dwellings, and animals—could be unambiguously demarcated and defended. This facilitated the spread of new property rights that were advantageous to the groups adopting them.



Klevius comment: I'm surprised not to find myself in their citation list although I did this work deeper and more carefully already back in 1992 (available on line since 2004) with some assistance by George Henrik von Wright (Wittgenstein's successor at Cambridge).

I quote from my 1992 summary: Sedentism is a consequence of expanded demands for resources (EDFR) but not a necessary outcome. What was needed was a suitable climate with domesticable plants/animals (i.e. what was missing in other places during late Pleistocene/early Holocene, which produced high quality artefacts and sofisticated cultural traits without evolving into what we use to name civilizations). Why have humans been both progressive and static in their cultural development over time, and how is this connected to evolution? You want/demand what you need but you do not necessarily need what you want/demand. The latter is here described as Expanded Demand For Resources (EDFR). By using this as a basis a new way of characterizing human societies/cultures becomes possible. Departing from C. Levi-Strauss idea on "warm" and "cold" societies, civilized societies are here described as representing dynamics, hence contrasting against the more static appearance of the economic setting (lack of investment) of e.g. hunter-gatherers. As a result the following categories emerge:

A. Uncivilized without EDFR
B Affected by EDFR but still retaining a simplistic, "primitive" way of life.
C. Civilized with EDFR

These categories are, of course, only conceptual. Applied to a conventional classification the following pattern appears:

1 The "primitive" stage when all were hunter/gatherers (A, according to EDFR classification).
2 Nomads (A, B, C).
3 Agrarians (B, C).
4 Civilized (C).

Evil is inherent in islam


Dear reader, I do apologize for having to show you this but I'm an anthropologist, i.e. someone who studies humans, so this seems relevant knowledge especially for those of you who haven't had the time to go more in depth about the problem with islam. But you certainly remember Teuku Jakob and his islam connection.

Is Sayeeda Warsi Britain's most dangerous extremist?


The mosque rat and the moderate mosque mouse




Sayeeda Warsi is the high priest of the "islamophobia" doctrine* in England. She is also an eager supporter of Saudi based OIC and their effort to implement Sharia all over the world via UN as well as criminalizing criticism against islam, the worst crime ever against humanity.

* The islamophobia doctrine uses the proportionally extremely few incidents against muslims by deranged individuals, as an excuse for their real target, namely those who defend Human Rights. This already fulfills the most important criterion for fascism!





A British islam defender on BBC Radio 4 reveals his extreme hypocrisy and bigotry by stating that only the belief in a "god" can protect from moral disintegration because secularism is based on human wills and interpretations.

Klevius: So what about the Bible and the Koran?! Who reads them without will and interpretation?! No, my dear idiot, it's just the other way round. Whereas negative Human Rights protects you from the wills and interpretations of others, the Koran imposes them on everyone involved. From muslim girls/women in marital sex slavery to non-muslims who have to tip-toe when encountering muslim racism.


Muslims use to say: "Killing of innocent people has no place in islam". However, they forget to mention that Sharia determines who is "innocent".


Clive Kessler, who is emeritus (of course, who else working professor would/could dare to speak out) professor of sociology and anthropology at the University of NSW: YES, following last week's horror in Woolwich it is correct to point out that there are Muslims and there is Islam. And that they are not always the same thing.

But it is no good to say such acts have nothing to do with Islam. It is an evasion to assert such acts are based on "extremist" misconceptions and deviations, not "true Islam", or are responses to "Islamophobia".

Nor will it do to say (as British Prime Minister David Cameron did) that such acts have no place or basis in Islam, that this act dishonours and misrepresents Islam, that it is "a betrayal of Islam".

"This was not just an attack on Britain - and on our British way of life. It was also a betrayal of Islam," he said. "There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act," he added.

True, there are Muslims and there is Islam, and they are not the same. But Muslims must acknowledge their ownership of Islamic history, cultivate what is good in it and take a clear stand against what is not.

Modern Muslims, especially in the West, must be prepared to clearly acknowledge from where the evils, such as last week's depravity, have come.

Klevius: "Muslims must acknowledge their ownership of Islamic history, cultivate what is good in it and take a clear stand against what is not." A terrible mistake, dear professor emeritus. This is precisely the kernel of the problem! There is no good whatsoever in islam. Good is replaced witd god!

However, Kessler falls short of fully understanding the inevitable logic in the early history of islam. I.e. the fact that it's precisely those now troublesome parts of the Koran that made it ticking.



Islam is Jihad


Robert Spencer: Nidal Malik Hasan the U.S. Army psychiatrist (sic) who murdered thirteen people at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009 in the name of Islam and jihad, is still be fighting his jihad.

In Islamic theology, jihad warfare is fard kifaya, an obligation of the community as a whole but not of every individual believer. Jihad becomes fard ayn, obligatory on every individual Muslim to aid in some way, when a Muslim land is attacked. Many Muslims around the world today consider that Muslim lands have indeed been attacked, because of the American presence in Afghanistan and the very existence of the State of Israel. The most serious and devout among them will see those attacks and making incumbent upon them the responsibility to wage jihad warfare against the Infidels.

A military judge ruled that Hasan could be forcibly shaved, and he most certainly would have been had he not been a Muslim. But he is a Muslim, and so his attorneys were able to charge that that judge was overcome by “Islamophobia” to the detriment of his duty when he ruled that Hasan be shaved, and was summarily removed from the case. The new judge, Colonel Tara Osborn, was more sensitive to the multicultural imperatives involved here, and ruled that Army regulations had to give way to Islamic law, and Hasan could keep his beard.

The fact that Hasan murdered thirteen people for the same reason he grew the beard -- because of his Islamic faith – doesn’t seem to have entered into her calculations.



 Not only that. The very core idea in original islam was to codify parasitism for the purpose of defending one's, even back then, evil acts by the help of racism (the infidel). And this original formula is inherent in islam and cannot be removed without completely altering islam itself to something else.


And here is the murderous racist and sexist root problem, Saudi Arabia, the "guardian of islam". This is the homeland of most of the bloodshed in the muslim world and elsewhere.

What a relief: A true scientist writing in a popular science magazine!


Michel E. Hammer (yes, the possibly first real back to Africa geneticist) in Scientific American vol. 308, #5, 2013: "The roots of modern humans trace back to not just a single ancestral population in Africa but to populations throughout the Old World."

Peter Klevius: Yes, this is the same Hammer as I referred to in my original online theory Out of Africa as pygmies and back as global mongoloids (2004 before Homo floresiensis, not to mention Denisovan, was known about). And like many of Klevius favorites he lacks a Wikipedia entry.

However, during these years an even more Asia centered option has harassed my mind. What if old genes were scattered over the whole Old World before the appearance of modern humans, and that what we now see in genetics is a consequence of back migration that made e.g. L1 and L2 like haplogroups appear "out of Africa"?

The problem for me is the short (and from an other perspective too long) known time span of Floresiensis on Flores (some 100,000 years).

However, what seems crystal clear is that modern humans intellectually/culturally was born some >40,000 years ago in the region of southern Siberia (Denisova/Altai etc).









Fascism in our time



BBC is "concerned" about too much talking about "isolated" muslim terrorists - but talks a lot about BNP, EDF and "islamophobia"


Sweden seems also invaded by mosque mice.



Politicians and media shout in unison with mosque mice: It's ABSOLUTELY not islam!

And all of this no matter that the British born muslim terrorists, who slew and decapitated a British soldier on an open street in broad daylight in London outside a military barrack, had learned to recite the Koran and that they themselves said they were muslims and did their evil acts for the sake of other muslims and islam, and that even MI5 had considered them true muslims and therefore had even offered them jobs within MI5!

And while muslim-wing street terrorists continue burning Stockholm, Swedish police attack "right-wing" demonstrators. The pattern is always the same. Muslims start riots and when someone complains about it they will be attacked by muslims and then police attack, not muslims, but the "right-winged" "islamophobes". And when among these "islamophobes" there are a few really stupid ones, just like among muslims, these stupid "islamophobes" are used to generalize all "right-wing" and/or "islamophobic" protesters, whereas the muslim ones are called (if anything at all) "extremists" which have nothing to do with islam.




Klevius comment: Ever, like me, wondered how National-socialist fascism was possible in Germany? Well, you have the answer right in front of you. Propaganda!

And the most evil of this propaganda is that, just like in Germany, it's always the most evil of an inherently evil (i.e. anti Human Rights) ideology that will prevail. So by using non-representative (i.e. superficial or secular, if you like) muslims to describe islam leaves the stage open for evil muslims and evil islam. On Western streets as well as globally

Klevius history lesson about the origin of the Finland-Swedes


                Klevius Historia Finlandia



An extremely brief background/overview to why the early Finland-Swedes came to conquer the world - twice (Goths, Vikings), or more

Acknowledgement: It's extremely problematic and embarrassing for Klevius as a Finland-Swede, and as a person who brags about self-criticism being his main scientific tool, to end up with his own ethnicity as having been a major global player in the past. However, there are some mitigating excuses. So for example, what made some Finland-Swedes to become Goths and Vikings etc. were not necessarily the most sought after human characteristics. Moreover, those Finland-Swedes who didn't participate became today's tiny and on the verge of extinction Finland-Swedish community, linguistically bullied by the Finns (language) as well as the Swedes (accent/dialects).



The oldest runic inscription is Finnish


This is the oldest runic inscription found. It says HARJA which is exactly the same as 'harja', meaning comb or , brush or ridge, in modern Finnish. The word is etymologically very old and had this Finnish form when the comb was made, i.e. it cannot be confused with some non-Finnish interpretation. Moreover, the word is found in all sister languages. The possibly related Baltic (or other) words do not resemble it at all neither now nor back then. The comb was found in Denmark and is dated to 160 CE (same time as the birth of Fornjotr, king of Kvenland and Gotland).

Warning! There are many confused "scientists" out there emotionally trying to dismiss the Nordic origin of the Goths. I even stumbled on one who thought that different spellings would mean different groups. Spellings etc don't matter here. Just like 'Vikings' the 'Goths' is more of a concept than a specific ethnicity.

The name 'Goth' (in its many variants) reflects the fact that it's not only thoroughly anchored in a Finnish-Old Nordic geographical/linguistic area and context but also that Gothic is linguistically puzzling if you don't see it as an Uralic colored form of Old Nordic. Moreover, genetics is still in its cradle and hence an extremely fragile tool. Only very crude main chronologies can so far be established and even shallow dives result in progressive guesswork at best, no matter how fancy math and graphs are produced. Klevius will explain more on this exciting topic later.


To understand the confusing picture about Finnish-Old Nordic relations that seems to emerge, one has to consider the relation between Indoeuropean and Uralic/Finnish languages. Both groups stem from geographically overlapping areas. However, whereas the former was more sedentary and farming oriented the latter was more rooted in a hunter-gatherer context.

As we all know agricultural societies gathered more wealth and population. So when they moved north the Germanic tribes tended to follow a path more favorable for farming. This is how the linguistic map evolved in northern Europe, divided between the Finnish related Sami, Finns and Germanic tribes.


For those less well orientated in the topic Klevius offers the following timeline:

Before any Indoeuropean language was around (such as e.g. Old Nordic/Old Norse) the entire northern Eurasia belonged to a hypothetical Eurasiatic language family inhabited by hunter-gatherers. From this Eurasiatic/Altaic source emerged the proto-Uralic language family which came to partially rub its shoulders with the Indoeuropean farming community that emerged.

Finnish belongs to a non-Indoeuropean, Uralic language group which populated much of what is now northern Russia.

Before, and partly during the Viking age, Finnish speaking tribes still occupied what is now Slavic territories (Slavic languages are Indoeuropean).




The birth of the Finland-Swedes long before there were any Danes or Norwegians

Finland is called the 'land of the thousand lakes' and is just an extension of similar lowland river and lake systems in what is now Russia. This made the Finns masters of boating.

The northern Germanic (Indoeuropean) tribes and the Finnish (Uralic) tribes met in the Finnish and Swedish archepelago between Stockholm and Turku (Åbo). The Swedish part is still called Roslagen (compare 'rus' and 'Ruotsi', the Finnsh name for Sweden/Swedish).

Due to the fact that the agrarian Swedes/Old Nordic/Germanic were more sedentary, wealthy and populous, the Finns were the ones who had to learn Old-Nordic, not vice versa. Voila, the Finland-Swedes were born.

Due to 1) language the Finland-Swedes (Goths?) were able to communicate with all people in northern Europe, incl. the Samis, and due to 2) their widespread boating network and their less dependency on a sedentary lifestyle, a part of them became succesful tradesmen and pirates.

Trade and piracy may lead not only to wealth but also to militant power. This is how some Finland-Swedes (Goths?) managed to take over leading positions outside their home turf. This pattern is then repeated around the trading/raiding routes to an extent that feeds itself in a pattern familiar for historians studying Goths and Vikings.

PS. Dear reader, I assume you already understand the difference between linguistic and genetic traces.

More details will be filled in later on - I do have a life to live.

Are some, most or all muslims racists?


When you pour money into evilness, don't be surprised if you get more evilness back!


When anthropologists such as, for example, Dienekes, try to adapt to the inevitable Out of Asia paradigm by placing the origin of modern humans in the Arabian peninsula instead of in Siberia where it belongs, it's just one more example of the magnetic attraction of islamofascists' oil money. Unless, of course, it's just pure incompetency or wishful thinking from Dienekes side. Greece is closer to Mideast than Siberia.

However, islam is the by far biggest evil* that has ever contaminated mankind. It started when ordinary Jews and Christian Jews in their internal conflicts let loose the most uncivilized racist/sexist forces imaginable in their strive for hegemony. When these blood and sex thirsty illiterate Arab looters under the leadership of monophysitist Christian Jews, had decapitated and raped all resistance (which was mostly almost non-existing) and had grown via enslavement, rapetivism and submission under the sword, this thug "empire" that emerged became later institutionalized and codified to what we now call islam. And from then on the successful root formula of islam was: Slavery finance+"infidel" racism+sex segregated rapetivism for the physical and cultural reproduction of new muslims+Sharia blasphemy("islamophobia")/apostasy ban.

Always keep in mind that islam, Mohammed and the Koran as they are presented today came LONG AFTER the initial "conquest". Hugh Kennedy (considered a foremost expert on the muslim atrocities in the vacuum left by previously retreating Byzantine forces): ”Before Abdul Malik, Mohammed is never mentioned on any official document whatsoever, nor any form of religious pronouncement”.

Our (the civilized world that rests on technology) own oil money has been used by creepy and evil Arab dictator family members for the spreading of not only hateful racism and sexism but also a deep misinformation via bribed media, bribed politicians, bribed universities etc. to an extent that many adults and almost all school children believe in the presented lies about Mohammed, the Koran and islam. And charlatan Wikipedia happily presents myths about islam as established facts.

* Measured by the values set out in the basic (negative) Human Rights of the 1948 Declaration which was supposed to protect us from such fascist and totalitarian ideologies. And please, don't come with that crap that it's a Medieval ideology that ought be "reinterpreted" in our time. OIC, the Saudi based world organization for all muslims has clearly stated via UN that it will violate the most basic Human Rights by replacing them with Sharia. In other words, islam (and its muslims) continues its tradition of being racist and sexist.




Disgusting muslim racism and acessory at Heathrow


play video


ICLA has written about how Muslims who want to frighten Christians in places like Pakistan merely have Sharia UK 250pxto accuse them of blasphemy in order to turn their lives upside down.  Increasingly it seems that this kind of mentality is beginning to thrive in places like the United Kingdom.

A recent report by CBN tells the story of a Christian worker at Heathrow airport who appears to have been sacked because she stood up for her Christian religious beliefs in response to harassment by Islamists.  As in OIC countries like Pakistan, it seems that the views and opinions of Islamists trump those of other religions in the UK.  It always seems to be the non-Muslims who have to give ground, bite their lips, and put themselves second.  The CBN report can be found below (and HERE):

For some time now, the UK has been experiencing an atmosphere of fear when it comes to discussing Islam.  The hysteria has been stoked up by oil rich Islamic nations keen to expand the influence and power of Islam in the West.  Servile Western politicians seem happy to aid and abet such nations in their goal to increase the power and influence of Islam.

Only a few years ago UK citizens could go through life without being adversely affected by religious dogma.  Now that dogma is everywhere and everyone is aware of it.  In the home of freedom of speech people are now aware that speaking their minds can ruin their lives.

The UK’s old rarely used blasphemy laws may have been repealed but new more extreme heresy laws have taken their place.  The Racial and Religious Hatred Act of 2006 has had a chilling effect on freedom of expression and on freedom in general.  It must be remembered that the right to freedom of expression has been a far more potent protect of freedom of religion that any Act of Parliament could ever hope to achieve.   The point of getting rid of the old blasphemy laws was that they restricted freedom of expression and they could be used as tools of religious persecution.  A situation has been created in the UK where even whispering the word Islam is not attempted lest someone becomes offended!

There is a great deal of handwringing about how ‘Islamophobia’ is on the rise in Western countries.  Nothing is said about how people are oppressed by Islamic regimes for not being Muslim.  Little is said about non-Muslims who feel that they are being treated like second class citizens in the West, other than that such people are somehow racist.  It seems that the term ‘Islamophobia’ was invented as a way to prevent non-Muslims from being listened to when they experience abuse at the hands of Islamists.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is doing its best to institute a global blasphemy law and to make criticism of Islam illegal.  It is a key advocate for UNHRC resolution 16/18 which purports to protect religious freedom.  However, there is a tendency in OIC countries for religious freedom to mean that Islam is promoted and other religions are harassed. It seems quite clear that Christians for one are not those who are being protected by UNHRC 16/18.

If an airport worker can lose her job because she is not Muslim or she does not show Islam the respect that its proponents believe that it deserves then she is not being judged by the rule of law – she is being judged by sharia law.

The case of the airport worker suggests that sharia law is now thriving in the UK.  Non-Muslims are being persecuted, demonized, and discriminated against just like they are in many member states of the OIC.  Like in Muslim majority countries non-Muslims in the UK are being picked on and their lack of Islamic faith is being used against them.   This situation has been facilitated by successive British governments whose obsession with political correctness has meant that rights and freedoms built up over the centuries have now been lost.  As a result Islamism is now out of control in the UK and there is hardly anyone who is prepared to raise even a whisper in opposition!


The mosque mice and Sharia islam




Klevius comment: This case is just one that happens to be (slightly) noticed of possibly millions of similar examples of muslim racism. However, the most interesting point is whether all muslims can be accused of being racists or accomplices to racism? And that question is completely dependent on whom we conceptualize as a muslim. And who better to define a muslim than muslims themselves represented by their own and most powerful world organization, the Saudi based OIC according to which a muslim is someone who obeys Sharia.

And Sharia, in all forms, is not only compulsory for true muslims, but it's also  is racist and sexist, because it violates Human Rights on precisely these points. In fact, it was these points that forced islamic countries to abandon Human Rights in the first place. Without Sharia no real islam and no real muslims.

So the widespread but unfounded view that muslim individuals can define themselves as muslims without adhering to Sharia is definitely obsolete.

Against this background all muslims are racists.

Human variation - the great Finn and the tiny Ata


A major objection against Floresiensis has been its small size - but does it really matter?

Human variation proves we need to rethink what it is to be human. Floresiensis managed to perform sophisticated game hunting, produce tools and use fire with a brain size just a tiny bit over a chimp and less than half of that of contemporary Homos with similar cultural abilities.

The "Great Finn" was the world's tallest soldier and the tallest healthy and normally living guy ever on the planet. He died prematurely in 1963 at age 54 (most really tall guys die already in their late teens or early twenties) due to hip surgery complications. He was a nice and intelligent guy who mastered many languages and traveled the world. As a curiosity it might be mentioned that one of his best friends was "Little Kalle" Hyden who was only 118 cm.


Compare Väinö Myllyrinne to

Ata, the smallest human being ever found on the planet. He was discovered in a Chilean desert and was not a fetus of any sort. According to DNA analysis at Stanford nothing in his genetic profile so far (90%) indicate anything non-human.



Väinö Myllyrinne, (27 February 1909 in Helsinki – 13 April 1963 in Järvenpää, Finland[1]) stood 222 cm (7 feet 3.4 inches) and weighed 197 kg (31 stone) at the age of 21, but experienced a second phase of growth in his late thirties, attaining a height of 251,4 cm (8 feet 3 inches).


                                                         Play video


 Väinö Myllyrinne's hand was allegedly the biggest ever.


We don't know as yet what the Denisova branch of the human evolution was like when it comes to appearance and skills. However, we do know that at the same place where its remains were found. i.e. the Denisova cave in the Altai region of Siberia,the hitherto oldest and most advanced human made object was found (see pic below).


This extremely complicated to manufacture stone bracelet was made 40,000 years ago at the same place where the ape-like "non-human(?) Denisovan in Siberia was found, by utilizing a drilling technology, comparable to modern machines, according to the researchers who found it.

Daniel Pipes, mosque mice, and Human Rights


Every sensible muslim would abandon islamic Sharia if they only really knew the basics of Human Rights. How, for example, could muslim women possibly resist an ideology that gives them the right to dress, act and be suppressed by their husbands if they so like, but which also gives them the right not to do so?! Or could they? Can't they stand the right to let other women live a different life?

Sadly many Westerners aren't that educated about Negative Human Rights either, and if they are they hide it behind political correctness and "muslim sensitivities".


Daniel Pipes is a Jewish islamophobe who isn't afraid of islam - but how does he differ from a mosque mouse?!

Or is he just too shy to criticize islam?


Klevius: Islam is against Human Rights! Oops, sorry for that "crime against humanity". However, Erdogan and his pal, Egyptian born Fuhrer Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu and his Saudi based OIC deliberately violate Human Rights via OIC's Cairo declaration (Sharia) which covers the whole muslim world Umma.


An overwhelming majority of muslims are against Human Rights

According to the latest Pew Research Forum report, "The World's Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society," released April 30, 2013, including a total of 39 countries and territories on three continents: Africa, Asia and Europe, and covering "more than 38,000 face-to-face interviews in 80-plus languages and dialects, from every country that has more than 10 million Muslims", 72% of Indonesian Muslims, 84% of Pakistani Muslims, 82% of Bengladeshi Muslims, 74% of Egyptian Muslims, and 71% of Nigerian Muslims supported making Sharia the official state law of their respective societies. The population-weighted average from these 5 countries was 77% supportive. (Composite regional data confirmed these individual country trends -- 84% of South Asian Muslims, 77% of Southeast Asian Muslims, 74% of Middle Eastern/North African Muslims, and 64% of Sub-Saharan African Muslims favored application of the Sharia as official state law.)

Could this be why mosque mice are so silent?



Daniel Pipes' "defense" of islam



Daniel Pipes: Those arguing for Islam itself as the problem (such as Wafa Sultan and Ayaan Hirsi Ali) point to the consistency from Muhammad’s life and the contents of the Koran and Hadith to current Muslim practice. Agreeing with Geert Wilders’ film Fitna, they point to striking continuities between Koranic verses and jihad actions. They quote Islamic scriptures to establish the centrality of Muslim supremacism, jihad, and misogyny, concluding that a moderate form of Islam is impossible. They point to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s deriding the very idea of a moderate Islam. Their killer question is, “Was Muhammad a Muslim or an Islamist?” They contend that we who blame Islamism do so out of political correctness or cowardliness. To which, we reply: Yes, certain continuities do exist; and Islamists definitely follow the Koran and Hadith literally. Moderate Muslims exist but lack Islamists’ near-hegemonic  power. Erdogan’s denial of moderate Islam points to a curious overlap between Islamism and the anti-Islam viewpoint.
Klevius: Indeed, the next best way of fast learning about the origin of islam is to read islamist websites and listening to islamist imams etc. However, the best way is still by reading Klevius, of course. Why? Because Klevius is neither a Jew, nor a Christian nor a muslim, and hence he isn't entangled with philosophical difficulties regarding Human Rights. Moreover, both islamists and Klevius' view on islam is in full agreement with what otherwise puzzle most historians, i.e how islam could spread so quickly.

Daniel Pipes: My analysis goes like this:
Islam is the 14-century-old faith of a billion-plus believers that includes everyone from quietist Sufis to violent jihadis.

Major dissonance began around 1800, when Muslims unexpectedly lost wars, markets, and cultural leadership to Western Europeans.

Klevius: Unexpectedly!? Dear Mr Pipes, don't you know that the main currency of islam's Sharia finance was slaves, and when Europeans in the early 19th century eventually finished a long series of efforts to stop Jewish and muslim slave raiding/trading, then the islamic economy based on parasitism collapsed and the islamic "civilization" decayed into hopeless misery until renewed by the power of oil.

In fact, Mr Pipes, some of the most long lasting and ugliest forms of slave raiding/trading existed in the area where your forefathers are from. I refer to Russia and the Jewish Khazars and the Ottoman Turks.

To understand the origin of islam, Mr Pipes, take a look at the origin of the Vikings!

Daniel Pipes: It (major dissonance) continues today, as Muslims bunch toward the bottom of nearly every index of achievement. This shift has caused massive confusion and anger. What went wrong, why did God seemingly abandon His faithful?

Muslims have responded to this crisis in three main ways. Secularists want Muslims to ditch the Shariah (Islamic law) and emulate the West. Apologists also emulate the West but pretend that in doing so they are following the Shariah. Islamists reject the West in favour of a retrograde and full application of the Shariah.
Klevius:In the enlightenment of Human Rights it's impossible to "pretend" Sharia. No matter if we talk moderate or islamist Sharia they both share an undeniable element of sexism and racism that stands in sharp contrast to Human Rights. This is why OIC has abandoned Human Rights and replaced them with Sharia in the UN. This is also why torture doesn't exist under Sharia, simply because it's part of the sentence.

Daniel Pipes:  Islamism represents the transformation of Islamic faith into a political ideology. Islamism accurately indicates an Islamic-flavoured version of radical utopianism, an -ism like other -isms, comparable to fascism and communism. Aping those two movements, for example, Islamism relies heavily on conspiracy theories to interpret the world, on the state to advance its ambitions, and on brutal means to attain its goals.
Klevius:Let me remind you that just like the most important Human Rights are the negative ones, the most important -ism is the negative atheism.

Daniel Pipes: Supported by 10 to 15 per cent of Muslims, Islamism draws on devoted and skilled cadres who have an impact far beyond their limited numbers. It poses the threat to civilized life in Iran, Egypt, and not just on the streets of Boston but also in Western schools, parliaments, and courtrooms.
Klevius:150 million extremist muslims - and counting! And they thrive equally well in Western Universities as in Mideast etc. Isn't that more than enough to keep us busy from even bothering about possible "moderate muslims"?

Daniel Pipes: Our killer question is “How do you propose to defeat Islamism?” Those who make all Islam their enemy not only succumb to a simplistic and essentialist illusion but they lack any mechanism to defeat it. We who focus on Islamism see the Second World War and the Cold War as models for subduing the third totalitarianism. We understand that radical Islam is the problem and moderate Islam is the solution. We work with anti-Islamist Muslims to vanquish a common scourge. We will triumph over this new variant of barbarism so that a modern form of Islam can emerge.

Klevius: The mechanism to defeat islam is called (negative) Human Rights! Simple as that and rock solid if you just put it on the agenda. And most of us non-muslims have already agreed on it via the 1948 Human Rights Declaration, which was aimed to hinder people like Goebbels and Erdogan etc. to rise their evil agendas.

And Erdogan is right, there's no such creature as moderate islam and, as  a consequence, no moderate muslims.

Working with "anti-islamist muslims" (what's that?) can only harm Human Rights. If they are true muslims they simply cannot stretch that far, and if they do they aren't muslims in any meaningful sense anymore. Islam is a life covering totalitarian ideology.

OIC, the world's largest organozation after UN covers all the world's muslims. OIC also tries to say it is "anti-violence" yet it has strongly adopted as its basis islamist Sharia. And by "islamist" I here refer to the undeniable fact that OIC's Cairo declaration is the very opposite to Human Rights on the most basic points!

Creeping Islam uses Mideast "monolitheism" and vanishing Christianity for global fascism

Islamic terrorism is just the tiny tip of a giant Arabic/Islamic iceberg fueled by oil-money and extending deeply into Western institutions. Asking Muslims for help against Muslims makes little sense. A strong re-evaluation of their "religion" is the only possible future

The problem isn't about immigrants, Arabs or Jews etc but solely about Islam as a facist/sexist totalitarian idea - and those detached lost souls (often in need of immediate care) who pick it up in Koran schools, Mosques, youth organizations etc. Another problem constitutes of all those millions who call themselves Muslims without, in most cases, having even a remote sense of what it really stands for as an idea. For these "Muslims" Islam is instead a synonyme (most often historically forced upon them) for their real ethnicity, not the Koran.

Just as Christianity was stimulated by the New Testament's replacement theology (or supersessionism), which taught that with the coming of Jesus a new covenant has rendered obsolete and has superseded the religion of Judaism, Islam is stimulated by Koran and the "last prophet" whose words should not be critisized or questioned (although Muslims do it all the time through a variety of interpretations).

Furthermore A number of Christian preachers, particularly in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, additionally taught that religious Jews choose to follow a faith that they actually know is false out of a desire to offend God Although this pattern is now repeated by "radical" (interesting word) Islamists, "moderate" Islamists have long since figured out a much more effective strategy. By equalizing Arabic Islam from the 7th century A.D. (neither Arabic nor Islam was around before that time) with the fate of Abraham some 1.900 B.C., "moderate" Islamists now try to convince other religious groups belonging to the same Mideastern "monolitheism" (new word by Peter Klevius) that they have a common interest. But this "interest" is, in fact, a catalyst for
replacing rapidly vanishing Christianity with a racist ("infidel"), sexist (sex segregation) totalitarian (anti-human rights) jihadist world-Islam that always supports "radical" interpretations no matter how many timid "Muslims" might be around.


Today's Hitler, bin Laden, and his meek and lost followers, and blind supporters.

In this light the difference between so called "radical" and "moderate" Islamists is less than thin Also compare posting on Saudi Islamist and Muslim feminist Mai Yamani and her opposite, Condoleezza Rice. The London bombs can be traced back to that very same Sudan which now rapes and kills women in Darfur, in front of Mai Yamani's shut eyes.

Klevius' definition of religion.


What do the terrorists want?

They want precisely the same as Islamists in general, i.e. to boost Islam!


So what should Muslims and "Muslims" do?

Start with the Fundamentalist test and then openly state that non-Muslims, "infidels", unbelievers, Atheists etc are exactly equally good and worthy humans as are Muslims, and that they don't need an Allah or other specified God to remain so! Very simple, isn't it?

Islam, not Bush, was responsible for 9/11! Islam, not Bush, is responsible for Islamic suicide-killers/terrorists around the globe! Islam (and an Islamist government), not Bush (or the "West"), is responsible for the rapes and killings in Sudan! And Islam, not Bush, is responsible for the continuing mess in Iraq!

The solution for Iraq: 1) The whole world should now send troops there to protect non-violent Iraqis against Islamic terrorists. 2) Avoid Islam in the constitution!


Klevius comment May 2013: Same applies to Syria etc!
