We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.
The aim of Islamists is neither integration, defined as participating in and strengthening American constitutional government alongside other citizens, nor indifferentism, defined as withdrawing from participation in the wider society to form an insulated community. In other words, the aim of Islamists is not integration into our society, nor to isolate themselves within their own enclaves, but rather to energetically integrate America into Islamist culture. Far from a Muslim “Benedict Option,” the Islamist strategy is political and confrontational. Islamists divide the world into the House of Islam (Dar al-Islam) and the House of War (Dar al-Harb). When Islamists build a mosque, they see it as sanctifying a hitherto unholy place, transforming it into the territory of Dar al-Islam.
The mosque and Islamic center are not a refuge to withdraw into prayer and worship, but an outpost in hostile territory, a stronghold to reform the surrounding world, and a place for chastising unscrupulous Muslims and driving out unbelievers. In Ruling in the Name of Allah, the Algerian writer Boualem Sansal explains how this duality shapes many Muslims’ perception of all of reality: “There is the world of Islam that must be protected and there is the world of evil in which war must be waged.”
As the memorandum indicates, this project extends beyond simple ethical reform or a largely invisible spiritual battle. The objective is spiritual AND temporal: to complete the total overhaul and reorganization of society, culture, business, commerce, finance, law, and government. This is why Islamists claim to offer “a civilizational alternative” to the West. They provide a comprehensive human association that is intended to challenge and replace other civilizations.
Informed by such an ambitious and wide-ranging project, Islamists oppose the American sense of nationhood and form of government and seek to replace constitutional and national governments with the global Islamic state.

Serious numbers of migrants arrived in Massachusetts from 1630 - 1640. Roughly 21,000. By 1700 they had become 91,000. Their immediate priorities: having families, building farms, forming towns, and building institutions Old England never developed on local levels. But the new Americans didn’t just reproduce the country they left. They built institutions England didn’t yet have.
Year 1 — a seagoing vessel launched at Medford, 4 July 1631. The shipwrights had been sent out in 1629, ahead of the fleet.
Year 4 — representative government. Elected deputies sitting in the General Court.
Year 6 — Harvard. £400 voted for “a schoale or colledge.”
Year 8 — a printing press, the only one in British North America. Glover died on the voyage out; his widow Elizabeth moved the operation to Cambridge and got it running.
Year 10 — the Bay Psalm Book, the first book printed in America.
Year 11 — the Body of Liberties, read aloud at every General Court.
Year 12 — the 1642 law: every ...
This is the cultural shift we were told would never happen. But 3D-printed fake meat and fish have officially hit American grocery stores. The U.S. retail launch of the PERFECTA brand introduces 3-D-printed meat and seafood to grocery stores across the Northeastern United States.
The packaging DOES NOT disclose that the company’s products are manufactured using 3D-printing technology. Instead, beautiful photos on the packaging make the five products look real and irresistible.

France is burning again. Political agitators, including Muslim groups, claim to have fielded 480,000 rioters in the last few days to "burn it all down." They shout “wallah," set schools on fire, douse teachers in gasoline, burn the faces of unsuspecting citizens, chase and beat police officers, and wreck the streets.
What is happening before our eyes has nothing of the usual banal student agitation. It is a dress rehearsal ahead of the election that matters most for Europe’s fate: May 2027.
What is happening in France concerns the entire West. These are extremely serious social-racial uprisings aimed at the destruction of our countries and our culture.
The wreckers want neither better schools nor more social benefits. They want to attack the countries that took in their parents and grandparents.
Europe wanted a society without violence. What it got is a society without defense.
The attempt at integration and assimilation has failed.
