"Islamism in the West did not flourish by rejecting liberal norms. It flourished by mimicking them—by donning the garb of equity, pluralism, and representation, while quietly retaining its eschatological core. It did not dismantle liberalism. It subtly colonized its conceptual terrain.
"In this recoding, Islamism became Muslimness. Its institutions became “community organizations.” Its advocates became “diversity consultants.” Its critics became “racists.” The theocratic was now the representational. The revolutionary was now the minoritized. What once stood as a challenge to the liberal order had become internal to its performance of inclusivity.
"This is the paradox we must now confront: Islamism in the West has achieved a degree of symbolic and institutional legitimacy that it never attained in the Muslim world itself. There, it remains one movement among many—often marginalized, often feared, and always debated. But here, in the West, it has become the authorized interpreter of Muslim life, a role it acquired not through consent, but through capital, rhetoric, and strategic adaptation.

Pensions were slashed by 40%. Public sector wages were frozen, then cut. Over 150,000 government workers were laid off. State assets—airports, ports, utilities—were sold off at fire-sale prices to foreign investors.
Greece's economy contracted by 25%. Youth unemployment hit 60%. An entire generation was hollowed out.
Argentina has been through the IMF wringer multiple times; in fact in in 2018, Argentina received the largest bailout in IMF history: $57 billion....
Martyn Lloyd-Jones declared, “Whenever you put happiness before righteousness, you will be doomed to misery. That is the great message of the Bible from beginning to end. They alone are truly happy who are seeking to be righteous.”
Attention antifa and transtifa and insurrectionists who hate ICE:
Nearly every state has specific statutes that criminalize willfully interrupting or disturbing a religious assembly or worship service. These laws protect the right of people to gather and practice their religion without intentional interference.
