Benard’s project: “reform” Islam from within using moderate Muslims
by Zafar BangashSaturday, September 3, 2011
After distorting the teachings of their own religion, Christianity, and then abandoning it all together, the Western world is now busy trying to give the same treatment to Islam in order to subvert it. Two events in particular have spurred Western policy toward Islam and its continuing impact on the two billion Muslims worldwide: the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 and the September 11, 2001 attacks on various landmarks in the US.
There have been two different approaches to the “containment” policy and ultimate subversion of Islam: outright wars on Muslim countries and peoples, and a more subtle policy of promoting secular Muslims to marginalize mainstream committed Muslims. The wars unleashed against Muslims are well-known: Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Pakistan, Libya and Iran are but a few names that come readily to mind. The aspect of subversion needs a closer look. One name in particular stands out: Cheryl Benard, an American political scientist working for the Rand Corporation. In a 2003 paper for Rand (updated in 2007), she made certain sweeping proposals to contain Islam by nurturing a moderate, democratic version that would serve US/Western interests.More at "Crescent International"
While the Washington warlords embarked on a policy of “nation-building” in places like Afghanistan and Iraq — an enterprise in which they have singularly failed — Benard’s more ambitious “religion-building” enterprise has had greater success because it operates on the assumption that there are enough Muslims willing to become tools of Western imperialism. She has divided the world’s two billion Muslims into four neat categories — fundamentalists, traditionalists, modernists, and secularists — and urged Western leaders to identify appropriate “Islamic partners” to work with them. The aim is to discourage extremism and violence as well as encourage democratization and development. For “extremism” and “violence” read Muslims opposed to Western imperialism and hegemony.
Good to see that muslims themselves don't fall for the "tooth fairy" nonsense about "moderate muslims" that we are fed daily - islam is islam, muslims are muslims, and both are at war with the God of the Bible (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), with the saints of Jesus Christ, and with Israel.
Allah and islam will be defeated by the God they mock and blaspheme agaisnt, regardless of the apostasy and lack of ticker and spine shown by Western governments willing to fornicate with this evil and antichrist religion.
