from NY to Israel Sultan Reveals
The Stories Behind the News

The Egyptian city of Cairo, the largest city in the Arab world
and the "timeless city" of Obama's Cairo speech, is suffering from a
garbage crisis. The crisis has a very simple cause, the pigs that used to
eat the garbage were killed to prevent the spread of Swine Flu. The pigs
living in "Garbage City" had served as both organic garbage disposals and
food sources for the Zabaleen, families of marginalized Christian Copts
who made a living by collecting the garbage, reselling the inorganic
garbage and feeding the organic garbage to pigs. The system worked fine so
long as there were pigs, but without the pigs, Cairo's streets are filled
with giant mounds of rotting garbage.

It might be shocking for most people to realize that the trash
collection system for the largest city in the Arab world, the capital of
what passes for Arab Muslim civilization, depended on a class of
"untouchable" garbage collectors as young as eight years old, and their
pigs to keep the city from drowning in its own garbage. A system that is
not simply medieval, but pre-medieval, that seems positively Bronze Age.
But that is only because the Arab Muslim nations are not actually
civilizations in the modern sense, they are post-colonized tribal
clumpings with bits and pieces of borrowed governmental structures and
technology that never quite work right. And underneath them is something
far darker and more primitive, a miserably brutal and ruthless Levantine
existence defined not by moral laws, but by tribal ones. And underneath
them all are the pigs. Kill the pigs, and the system collapses.

It
isn't just about the piles of reeking trash in Cairo's streets. The Arab
and Muslim world has been exporting far more dangerous forms of waste in
the forms of immigration and Islamic radicalism. Virtually every Arab
rulers balances the tension between national allegiance and Islamic law by
exporting terrorism abroad, whether it is Arab governments funding suicide
bombers in Israel, rabid mosques in Oslo and Manchester or Al Queda
hijacked planes racing toward Manhattan-- the homelands of Islam have been
calculatedly dumping the garbage they don't want on foreign
shores.

"Don't fight a civil war, fight a global war", has been the
anthem of the ruling families of Saudi Arabia, the UAE and numerous other
Arab Muslim dictatorships, who extend one crooked hand to the West, and
another to Islamic terrorists; dumping their exploding garbage in foreign
laps. The more the angry young men with fierce shovel cut beards go
abroad, hoping for a shot at an American GI or an Israeli family or a Thai
Buddhist schoolteacher, the more the House of Saud can take a deep breath,
count their oil revenues and buy another piece of Manhattan or
London.

What they have developed is a cyclical system, much like
Cairo's pig trash consumption, except this one exports terrorists abroad
where they will pose less of a threat to the endless collection of Princes
littering up the endless palaces of the oil rich Gulf states. Meanwhile
the rulers themselves get to play moderates, offering their services to
help moderate tensions, in exchange for the proper incentives of course.
The benefits of the system allow them to live rich off their ill gotten
oil gains, while treating the toxic waste of Islam as an export they can
cash in on.

And then there's immigration. The West suffers from low
birth rates. By contrast the Ummah suffers from an uncontrollably high
one. Just enough Western medicine has poured into Muslim countries to help
improve infant survival ratios and morality rates... but the countries
themselves are non-Western and can't even begin to handle the extra
population. With much of their social and economic systems still
stratified based on familial and tribal ties, bribe economies discouraging
innovation and foreign investment, and long lists of Islamic Thou Shalt
Nots, Muslim nations cannot accommodate their growing populations. And so
instead they export them to the West.

And who is it that goes to the West? The huddled masses
yearning to breathe free. Not quite. Huddled, perhaps. Yearning to breathe
free, not so much. Immigration to the West allows the Muslim world to
export those who have few opportunities at the bottom of the ladder or the
sons of those at the middle or the top who have trouble fitting in. Very
often those are exactly the type of people eager to listen to Jihad
audiocassettes and seek out the angriest mosques. The types of people
Egypt or Pakistan or Saudi would like to get rid of. Just more waste being
dumped on Western shores.

It's a bad system, but in a civilization
whose major city can be overrun by garbage because all the pigs have died,
it's about as reliable as it gets. Muslim rulers export their waste, which
the West seems to want, and in doing so by themselves a measure of
immunity from Islamic terrorism, while investing in the possibility of a
future Caliphate. Getting in on the ground floor of the Death of the West,
so to speak. It's a win-win situation, until the pigs die of
course.

From the perspective of the "moderate Muslims" that we keep
hearing so much about, Bin Laden pushed the limit, upsetting the cycle and
bringing war into their own backyard. The result overturned the system and
broke the cycle. Too much too soon, was the watchword there. The "moderate
Muslims" had no objections to thousands of murdered Americans and other
foreigners. What they had an objection was exceeding the allowable
tolerances of Americans and other foreigners for terrorism. Their policy
has been to build a Caliphate made of garbage, to turn Europe, America,
Canada and Australia into towering trash dumps consisting of Islamic
radicals and Muslim immigrants. Enough trash to build into minarets, mold
and sculpt into Sharia law and bring an end to the West. And when that has
happened, the moderate Muslim regimes of all the Terroristans and
Islamabads fancy that they might be the ones left standing to take up the
Mohammedan Man's Burden once again.

9/11 endangered their trash
deliveries and woke up some in the West to what was being dumped on their
front lawns. 7/7 rang even more alarm bells. Islamic conversions went up,
but so did the status of people who had been talking all along about the
dangers of immigration and Islamic radicalism. Push. Push-back. And with
it comes the rising fear of an end to immigration. And if the Muslim world
can't export its excess populations and Islamists to the West, where will
they go? Asian countries might send out their excess populations as labor
contractors, but not even Muslim cities like Dubai are too keen on
importing fellow Arabs to do the work, mainly because they know quite well
that's a formula for insuring that no work will get done. And all those
angry young men hanging around Cairo and Ridyah, reading tracts about
getting back to authentic Koranic truths, and looking over bomb
instructions are another kind of formula, a formula for Islamic regime
change at home.

In Cairo, the trash piles are beginning to stink. Worms and
rats, and worse things have made it their home. The cycle has been broken
and there is no way to fix the system. True civilizations are tool users.
Muslim civilizations are tool borrowers who layer text messaging and cell
phones over institutions that would make the Dark Ages seem positively
enlightened. There is no way such a system can accommodate real change, or
provide opportunities for growing populations. There is no way it can do
anything but dump the garbage on someone else's street and run
away.

To talk of a Clash of Civilizations is in some ways futile,
because there are no Islamic civilizations, only former colonies and
splinters of former colonies, run by whoever was left in charge after the
British or the French left, or whoever managed to clamber to power since
then. And by their close relatives and friends, and by their son in laws,
second cousins and good friends. They call themselves Presidents,
Ministers and Colonels. They have huge bank accounts and large scale
investments abroad. They have a veneer of technology and cultivated
manners. But the aerial shots of skyscrapers and urban lightscapes,
storefronts and maps are a facade of civilization, like a well lit movie
set. Underneath it all, there are still pigs eating the
garbage.

Israel did not win multiple wars only because of its
army's superiority, but because of the inferiority of its opponents, not
in a strategic sense, but in their inability to conduct large scale
warfare. Saddam's forces demonstrated the same inability to use his giant
toybox of Soviet arms and tanks in two wars against the United States and
its allies. Nor could any of his neighbors have done much better. Even
Saddam himself understood this, and by the second war, fell back on the
default tactic that the Arab world has used against Israel for the last 35
years, to go to ground and focus on hit and run raids, on terrorism and
guerrilla warfare. To revert in other words to the way of the bandit and
the nomad, to shed any pretense of civilization and focus on pure murder
and terror. To shed human skin in favor of the savage that had always been
lurking underneath.

The rise of Islam is the manifestation of more
than just frustration with Western civilization or globalism; but a
frustration with their own incompetence at grasping and implementing the
structures and achievements of those civilizations at home. Lusting after
the glory of a worldwide Caliphate and the imaginary perfection of Islamic
law, is the way that those who have failed at aping Western civilization
can drown their inferiority complexes in rituals of blood and
death.

Inwardly they know that there is no golden collection of
Minarets ruled by a wise Caliph waiting for them at the end of the road.
The virgins with their raisins are a better bet, because they are a more
plausible endgame, than the idea that even a few million Muslims could get
along, let alone the whole billion. The dream of a Caliphate wasn't broken
at the gates of Vienna or with the fall of the Ottoman Empire. It was
never real and could never be real, because Arab Islamic civilization had
never reached the point where it could run anything that size without a
lot of outside help, and could never keep it together without breaking
down into infighting because it lacked any political structure besides
nepotism and bribery.

Islam has become the magic token, the catchall
idea for some higher wisdom that will fix all of the faults of the Muslim
world, without its followers having to actually confront social problems
and initiate real reforms-- and most of all to break out of their rut and
actually advance a few runs up the ladder of civilization. Instead Islam
wills them to sink deeper still, to toss aside Western civilization while
hanging on to whatever choice bits are useful for Jihad, and to answer all
difficult questions with the blade of a sharpened sword.

It is no
wonder that this form of bloody magical thinking is most popular in the
shadow of the West itself, in the suburbs and ghettos hiding from the
light, whose denizens are faced with either trying to be something they're
not, or trying to impose their dominance on a civilization, who through
the light of faith suddenly appears degenerate and inferior. The Russians
made that same choice with Communism, emerging as a horde to plunder the
wealthier and more accomplished nations of Eastern Europe. The Germans
made that choice with Nazism to demonstrate their superiority by
subjugating all their former enemies and neighbors. The Muslim world is
making that choice again with Islamism. And by treating their trash as if
were the finest gold, we are helping them make it. And covering our own
streets with the trash of Islam.
