    ” ISLAM: THE GREATEST MURDER MACHINE IN HISTORY”

    When one thinks of mass murder, Hitler comes to mind. If not Hitler, then Tojo, Stalin, or Mao. Credit is given to the 20th-century totalitarians as the worst species of tyranny to have ever arisen. However, the alarming truth is that Islam has killed more than any of these, and may surpass all of them combined in numbers and cruelty.

    The enormity of the slaughters of the “religion of peace” are so far beyond comprehension that even honest historians overlook the scale. When one looks beyond our myopic focus, Islam is the greatest killing machine in the history of mankind, bar none.

    — The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. — Will Durant

    Conservative estimates place the number at 80 million dead Indians. According to some calculations, the Indian (subcontinent) population decreased by 80 million between 1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi Sultanate).

    Hitler admired Islam as a fighting religion. He stood in awe of Islam, whose butchery even he did not surpass.

    100M BLACK AFRICANS KILLED BY MUSLIMS

    Over 110 Million Blacks were killed by Islam.

    … a minumum of 28 Million African were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East. Since, at least, 80 percent of those captured by Muslim slave traders were calculated to have died before reaching the slave market, it is believed that the death toll from 1400 years of Arab and Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been as high as 112 Millions. When added to the number of those sold in the slave markets, the total number of African victims of the trans-Saharan and East African slave trade could be significantly higher than 140 Million people. — John Allembillah Azumah, author of The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa: A Quest for Inter-religious Dialogue

    Add just those two numbers alone together, and Islam has surpassed the victims of 20th-century totalitarianism. However, it does not end there. Add the millions who died at the hand of Muslims in the Sudan in our lifetime.

    Much of Islamic slavery was sexual in nature, with a preference for women. Those men who were captured were castrated. The mulatto children of the women were often killed, which explains why Islam was not demographically shifted towards the black race, unlike slaves in the West, who bore children to breed a mestizo class. Add in those dead children; and we arrive at well over 200 million.

    In the 7th century, North Africa was almost totally Christian. What happened to them? By the year 750, a hundred years after the conquest of Jerusalem, at least 50 percent of the world’s Christians found themselves under Muslim hegemony… Today there is no indigenous Christianity in the region [of Northwest Africa], no communities of Christians whose history can be traced to antiquity.– “Christianity Face to Face with Islam,” CERC. What happened to those Christian millions? Some converted. The rest? Lost to history.

    ONE MILLION EUROPEANS ENSLAVED JUST BY THE MUSLIM PIRATES ALONE

    We know that over 1 million Europeans were enslaved by Barbary Pirates. How many died is anybody’s guess. …for the 250 years between 1530 and 1780, the figure could easily have been as high as 1,250,000 – BBC. In the Middle Ages many slaves were passed through Armenia and were castrated there to fill the Muslim demand for eunuchs. The same practice ran through Islamic Spain. North Europeans captured from raids up to Iceland, or purchased, were butchered in the castratoriums of Iberia. Many died from the operations that ran for centuries.

    The number of dead, enslaved, castrated, raped, by Islam is over on BILLION.

    The rest of the numbers are too exhaustive to mention here.

    2. THE EUROPAN WARS: THE FRENCH (PRIESTLY)( DESPOTS AGAINST THE (MARTIAL) GERMANS

    THIRTY YEARS’ WAR

    The Thirty Years’ War was a religious and geopolitical war fought primarily in Central Europe between 1618 and 1648. It resulted in the deaths of over 8 million people, including 20% of the German population, making it one of the most destructive conflicts in human history. Initially a war between the Protestant and Catholic states in the Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a general European war, involving most of the great powers. The war, and the smaller wars it produced, became less about religion and more of a continuation of the French–Habsburg rivalry for European political pre-eminence, and a Habsburg attempt to rebuild imperial authority in Germany.

    THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND NAPOLEONIC WARS

    Reign of Terror, also called the Terror, French La Terreur, period of the French Revolution from September 5, 1793, to July 27, 1794 (9 Thermidor, year II). With civil war spreading from the Vendée and hostile armies surrounding France on all sides, the Revolutionary government decided to make “Terror” the order of the day (September 5 decree) and to take harsh measures against those suspected of being enemies of the Revolution (nobles, priests, and hoarders). In Paris a wave of executions followed. In the provinces, representatives on mission and surveillance committees instituted local terrors. The Terror had an economic side embodied in the Maximum, a price-control measure demanded by the lower classes of Paris, and a religious side that was embodied in the program of de-Christianization pursued by the followers of Jacques Hébert.

    During the Terror, the Committee of Public Safety (of which Maximilien de Robespierre was the most prominent member) exercised virtual dictatorial control over the French government. In the spring of 1794, it eliminated its enemies to the left (the Hébertists) and to the right (the Indulgents, or followers of Georges Danton). Still uncertain of its position, the committee obtained the Law of 22 Prairial, year II (June 10, 1794), which suspended a suspect’s right to public trial and to legal assistance and left the jury a choice only of acquittal or death. The “Great Terror” that followed, in which about 1,400 persons were executed, contributed to the fall of Robespierre on July 27 (9 Thermidor).

    The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) pitted the French Empire and its allies against a coalition of European powers. The Napoleonic Wars refers to a series of conflicts between the French Empire and the coalitions that fought it: the War of the Third Coalition, the Fourth, the Fifth, the Sixth and the Seventh and final coalition. During this period, it is estimated that around 3.5-6 million people were killed as a direct or indirect result of the war.

    THE THIRTY YEARS OF THE WORLD WARS

    The First World War was fought between the Allies and the Central Powers. The war lasted 4 years — from 1914 to 1918 —but it was responsible for around 18 million deaths. Of the 18 million deaths, about 11 million were military personnel and about 7 million were civilians. … World War II was a global war that spanned from 1939 to 1945. The war pitted the Allies and the Axis power in the deadliest war in history, and was responsible for the deaths of over 70 million people.

    TOP 12 MOST DEADLY WARS IN HISTORY

    The Second Congo War

    The Second Congo War (1998-2003) was one of the deadliest wars in history and the deadliest in modern African history. This war spanned over a period of 5 years and caused the death of around 5.4 million people. Although the genocides accounted for a large number of casualties, diseases and famine caused by the war were also partially responsible.

    Napoleonic Wars

    The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) pitted the French Empire and its allies against a coalition of European powers. The Napoleonic Wars refers to a series of conflicts between the French Empire and the coalitions that fought it: the War of the Third Coalition, the Fourth, the Fifth, the Sixth and the Seventh and final coalition. During this period, it is estimated that around 3.5-6 million people were killed as a direct or indirect result of the war.

    The Thirty Years’ War

    As the name implies, the Thirty Years’ War was fought between Catholic and Protestant states in Central Europe from 1618 to 1648. The conflicts eventually drew in the great powers of Europe, resulting in one of the longest, most destructive and deadliest conflicts in European history. It is estimated that the war was responsible for the deaths of 8 million civilians and military personnel alike.

    The Chinese Civil War

    The Chinese Civil War started in August of 1927 between the government-backed Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China. The massacres and mass atrocities carried out by both parties resulted in more than 8 million casualties by 1950.

    The Russian Civil War

    The Russian Civil War claimed the lives of more than 9 million people — 8 million of whom were civilians. The war spanned from 1917-1922 — immediately after the Russian Revolutions of 1917 — and it was fought between opposing political factions, namely the Red Army and the White Army.

    The Dungan Revolt

    The Dungan Revolt was a war fought between the Hans (Chinese ethnic group native to East Asia) and the Huis (Chinese Muslims) in 19th-century China during the Qing Dynasty. There were approximately 20 million war-related deaths, mostly caused by famine and migration brought about by the war.

    An Lushan Rebellion

    The An Lushan Rebellion was a rebellion against the Tang Dynasty of China between 755 A.D. and 763 A.D. Although it is difficult to accurately report the death toll, census reports taken the years following the war imply that around 36 million people were killed, or about two-thirds of population of the empire.

    World War I

    The First World War was fought between the Allies and the Central Powers. The war lasted 4 years — from 1914 to 1918 —but it was responsible for around 18 million deaths. Of the 18 million deaths, about 11 million were military personnel and about 7 million were civilians.

    Taiping Rebellion

    Yet another war in China, the Taiping Rebellion was another large-scale rebellion that was fought between 1850 and 1864. The war was fought between the Qing Dynasty and the Christian millenarian movement of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although there isn’t an exact number, most estimations have the Taiping Rebellion responsible for 20-30 million deaths.

    The Qing Dynasty Conquest of the Ming Dynasty

    The transition from the Qing Dynasty to the Ming dynasty was anything but peaceful. The rebellion waged for over 60 years— from 1618 to 1683 — and resulted in the deaths of 25 million people. What started as a relatively small rebellion in northeastern China ultimately resulted in one of the country’s deadliest conflicts as well as one of the deadliest wars in history.

    The Second Sino-Japanese War

    The Second Sino-Japanese War was waged between 1937 and 1945 between the Republic of China’s National Revolutionary Army and the Imperial Japanese Army. It is widely believed that the war began with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and it later escalated to an all-out war that resulted in 25 million civilian deaths and over 4 million Chinese and Japanese military deaths.

    World War II

    World War II was a global war that spanned from 1939 to 1945. The war pitted the Allies and the Axis power in the deadliest war in history, and was responsible for the deaths of over 70 million people.Updated Sep 6, 2020, 7:51 PM

  • Q: “What are your thoughts on stoicism and epicureanism?”

    As far as I know, just as Europeans evolved rational material war, law, government, engineering, geometric mathematics (an important distinction), and religion was more an act of loyalty, exchanges (sacrifices), and not of submission, and religion was far more ‘civic’ (social) an festival driven (expensive), philosophy (mindfulness in knowledge and understanding, stoicism (mindfulness of action) and epicureanism (mindfulness in the small joys of life), continue to reflect the realism, naturalism, productivity, achievement and forward-looking, metaphysics of Europeans. (unfortunately “Alexander brought the curse of authoritarian mysticism into European civilization”.) So Europeans had just about developed a region of cognitive behavioral therapy (stoicism) and constructive living within one’s means (epicureanism), to accompany their civic religion of nature, ancestor, archetype, and state-worship (loyalty). All humans require mindfulness (reduction of neural cost of continuous calculation in the face of uncertainty) especially as population sizes expand, the division of labor increases, and anonymity, irrelevance, uncertainty, and insecurity arrive at the cost of wealth (think of today’s ‘lost generations’ here in the west. So all civilizations developed various forms of achieving mindfulness as a consequence. Only europeans developed forward looking (evolutionary) rather than static, cyclical, or regressive metaphysical understandings of the universe, the world, and their place in it.

    Unfortunately, Overexpansion, natural problems of communication and administration, the resulting corruption, over-immigration, invasion-war, under-reproduction, increased reliance on mercenaries and those who were not devoted to the roman civilization as a solution to historical problems, were met with plague, and in particular excessive exposure to middle eastern cultures, and created a vulnerability to the false promises of Christianity (cheap, non-performative, imaginary, without responsibility), first through women, then thru slaves, then through the underclasses (just like feminism and postmodernism today), until the power over the underclasses was sufficient that men took over control of the religion from women (like doctors from midwives in the 19th century). The Christians then eventually killed the philosophers, closed the stoic schools, burned the books and writings, destroyed the statues, arts, and temples, (just like BLM/Antifa and the Postmodernists in Education today), and slowly took over administration the way that postmodernists have worked their way into academy, schools, government, and the media today.

    So my observation is that the demand for stoicism/epicureanism has returned but we are unable to construct and institutionalize it because we are presently in such a crisis due to immigration in blue cities seeking to repeat the destruction of Rome from within, and the center that is trying to preserve the military, empirical, rational tradition (and unfortunately the Christian as well).

    I have done some work on how to achieve that without the religious trappings, by ‘educating the whole person’ including mindfulness (stoicism), a good life and a good person (epicureanism), physical fitness, restoration of adversarialism throughout education, and restoration of grammar, logic, and of course, natural law (ethics), as and rhetoric (speech), and manners and etiquette. For the simple reason that they are costly behaviors that produce not only cognitive mindfulness but interpersonal and social harmony. As such we would have far less political disharmony.

    Anyway. Enough for now.
