When reading the headlines of this blood-splattered world, I often wonder what the planet would be like today had Islam never been invented. I’m sure you’ve wondered the same.
Of course, there will always be a tendency for us to romanticise the world we imagine; to give it bright green fields, blonde maidens milking cows, world peace etc…. I’m not going to allege this would be the reality, because it clearly wouldn’t be.
Instead, I am going to argue that what the modern world would be like without Islam is (more or less) the contemporary United States.
Given its demographic, cultural, religious and climatic diversity, America is often identified as being more a world than a country. Within it, Asians live alongside Africans, Whites live alongside Jews, Amerindians alongside Hispanics, Hindus alongside Buddhists, atheists alongside believers, …
The one culture that is barely represented at the national level is Islam. Sure, there are Muslims, but very few. To pursue our thought experiment, let’s pretend that smattering of Pakistanis, Arabs and Iranians don’t exist. It isn’t difficult; all we have to do is subtract from our imagination a few boroughs and townships. What remains is the world we seek to imagine.
What is it like?
Well, it’s not a utopia, that’s for sure. Whites and non-Whites occasionally provoke each other. Phrases like Spic, Nigger and Cracker linger on the margins of the national vocabulary. Jews are either resented or admired. Indians are made fun of for their accents. Racial injustices (real or perceived) occur every so often, and are later resolved by battles fought in a uniquely gladiatorial media.
But more or less (or so I would argue), this world works. There are no problems that require deportations, civil wars, terror attacks, or military interventions. The rivalries that do exist are trifling and stupid. Many racial squabbles have even become part of the national character. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Al Sharpton and others are hated by millions, but they are easily tolerable. The divisions they incite are more Punch and Judy than Israel and Palestine.
So it is with the world at large. Europe has no military quarrel with Sub-Saharan Africa (beyond the Islamic parts). Asians have no hostile designs on Latin America. Japan doesn’t desire a holy war to wipe out Russian infidels. India and China, border squabbles aside, can do business in a civilised and friendly way. It requires no cultural contradiction for Europeans to enjoy Japanese Anime, African-American Hip-hop, Indian cuisine or Russian folk. Nor does it for Serbians to attend salsa lessons or Italians to dream of Caribbean sands.
The same rough harmony demonstrated within America is repeated in the world at large.
I hope you find, as I do, this thought immensely sad. If only the American world was the world. If only Al Sharpton was the worst thing the third world threw up, and that Bin Laden was just a bad dream.
Alas, the real world remains scarred with more lethal divisions and this can only be laid at the door of Islam. Every other culture can get along in peace if they try. The evidence is across the Atlantic.
D, LDN.
Defend the Modern World 
Ubi Islam, ibi bellum! “Where you find Islam, there you find strife!” My Latin is now rusty, but I love its brevity in expression. Or as Cicero wrote, “Ubinam gentium sumus?” translated loosely is, “How in Hell did we end up here?” And Bermuda’s motto, “Quo Fata Ferunt” with a similar translation. Signed: ‘Frustrated’ in Canada.

I love the Cicero quote. I should use that as a title.

I wish you were right, but it is a pipe dream. What we, as an “Americanized” world can do, if possible, is put down this stunted, violent, retarded thing that is islam. Islam is the collected, transgressive garbage of generations in one neat package. There truly is no place for it in the future of mankind, if mankind wishes to succeed in any way. A clear eyed solution will become necessary sooner than we can imagine.

If only we had the answer. The silver bullet. Someone wrote to me a while back suggesting ‘kill them all’. That’s clearly absurd and morally terrible. There must be a course of action that can unite the enemies of Islam into a dynamic action.

”If only we had the answer. The silver bullet.”
I take the answer as having been given us – historical precedent, i.e., geopolitical apartheid. Of course it is one of little or no avail as long as the treacherous among us insist on cultural mosaicism.
From the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)
Article 18
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
As most every Islamic country – and Islam itself – is manifestly in violation of Article 18 every second of every day it would seem some member nation would have have made an issue of it at some point. Until such time as the OIC Islamic countries comply, within their own borders and religion, de facto and de jure, they should be expelled from the UN. But then, every Western nation is as fundamentally corrupt and frightened as Islam is unconscionable.
Our continued association with the UN does not speak well of us but says volumes about our willingness, along with the rest of the West, to invoke righteousness and simultaneously, and in confronting Islam, timorously disregard it.
The trouble is, I think, not so much with Islam as it is with us.
BTW, Article 18 is only one of at least a half dozen Articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that Islam routinely violates, declaratively and procedurely.

Geopolitical apartheid sounds fantastic. The disentangling process will be messy though. I wonder how it can be achieved.

Though not ‘The’ Silver bullet, but what could be very well a good part of the Silver bullet would be to encourage apostasy from Islam, to provides apostates with asylum, safety and most importantly: A voice.
As it currently stands, Ex-Muslims are mostly shunned by the media for fear of being ‘Islamophobic’. Mainstream media needs to embrace Ex-Muslims and give them enough coverage, so that even average moderate Muslims (who are embarrassed by some of the Islamic doctrines) are aware that leaving Islam is a possibility. This could very well tip the balance in favor of modernity in the Islamic world, not in our lifetimes, but, perhaps in the near future.

I think that will change. The Left will eventually realise that shunning those who flee intolerance and misogyny really isn’t consistent with their principles. The way Hirsi Ali has been received by (some members of) the progressive Left in the US is encouraging.
