Arizona,
I think you’re underestimating what a motivated population could accomplish.
Frankly, I don’t think it’s immoral because the only way it would happen is if the Muslims brought it upon themselves. This, if you ask me, is the essence of the Belmont Club’s “Conjectures” thesis, i.e. that the West will only retaliate against Islamic aggression, it won’t initiate the aggression (all BS about ‘war for oil’ aside, since we are dealing with reality here, not anti-war fantasy). Much like the Southern states in the US who thought God would protect them against the superior war machinery of the North, Muslims appear to think that Allah will save them.
Who is going to come to their rescue? They’ve alienated the entire world with the exception of Western Leftists and assorted cultural relativists. The problem, as I see it, is that they create nothing of value for non-Muslims, who happen to constitute 75% of humanity. That 75% may disagree on a lot of things, but Islam should not be one of them. I consider myself just a messenger telling them that they’re playing with fire. Muslims like to brag how there are 1.2 billion Muslims, but they should stop and reflect that there are 4.8 billion non-Muslims who are getting pretty damn sick and tired of their BS. And those 4.8 billion people produce something like 95% of the world’s wealth.
Dan Simmons had a good piece on how this whole scenario could play out.

if you don’t like what God writes through me, then don’t read it.
Yeah, I don’t put much stock in anyone who says God is writing through him. I prefer the Aristotelian method of using my own reason to analyze someone’s thinking. After all, Aristotle put together what is arguably the greatest corpus of thinking in the history of mankind and I don’t believe he once said God was speaking through him.
Anyway, to bring it back around to the point of the thread, I think it’s great that Hirsan Ali is calling out Islam as a fiction because it clearly is.
