Jihad - Crusade - Politically correct? - NOT!

 Our young already in school learn that "Christians" attacked Muslims 1000 years ago, when the Pope sent European crusaders to liberate "the Holy Land" from Muslim supremacy.  We are supposed to forget the point that Islam's soldiers through Jihad had attacked and taken control over "Christian countries" throughout North Africa and Spain. We are also supposed to forget that Islam threatened the "Christian Eastern Roman Empire" and finally conquered the capital (Constantinople) of the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453 and thus ended the Eastern Roman Empire.
 That it was Muslim jihadists who started this war of religions, and that it is Muslim jihadists who even today continues to carry on this religious war is somethning we are supposed to forget.  Islamic Jihad warriors defeated the Christian world armies and navies and conquered vast areas of land from the day the prophet Mohammed began Islamic Jihad (in the 600s) until the Jihad warriors were stopped.
 The first stop of Islamic expansion was Karl Martell victory in 732, which stopped Islamic expansion at the Pyrenees (the border between Spain and France today). The christians in Spain then worked for 700 years to drive the muslims out of Spain.
 Next key limitation of the Islamic expansion did not happen until 1571, when the Europeans thanks to the Renaissance and improved weapons technology, defeated the Islamic naval force at the "Battle of Lepanto" in 1571. The Battle of Lepanto was vital as the Islamic fleet was defeated so thoroughly that the muslim world lost control of trade routes in the Mediterranean.
 In 1683 the forces of Islamic (Ottoman Empire) were defeated after their siege of Vienna in 1683. The strength of Christendom, through european science and technological advances during the industrial revolution, finally made it possible for europeans to get the upper hand against Islamic Jihadists. In 1683 the Europeans won after three days of fighting between the 10th and 12th of September. To Jihad warriors 9/11 became a date of defeat. That is the reason why Al Qaeda chose 9/11 to attack the twin towers in New York. The date 9/11 became a date of vengeance to the jihadists.  The West might believe that the wars between Western crusaders and Islamic Jihad were over, since the Muslim forces were defeated both at sea and on land. Todays Western total superiority in the air and through military doscipline (inherited from Sparta and Rome) give us a situation where Islamic jihadists do not even try to fight the West using conventional warfare. They are well aware that they would then be thoroughly defeated.
 The Muslim world, which certainly has not abandoned the idea of ​​spreading the Islamic message to all peoples of the earth, today select terrorism for its warfare (a different mode to make war/jihad). They have no other choice.
 That western politically correct decision-makers today choose to pretend that the religious war against Islam has ended. But for the muslims Jihad has never ceased against the western world. Islamic Jihad goes on!  The politally correct politicans and citizens of the West choose to ignore the fact that Islamic Jihad continues. That the PC mafia does not realize this is because of their inability to confront the danger face to face. Their inability to confront the situation stems from their unwillingness accept responsibility.
 They hope that the problem will disappear by itself. Jihadists rejoice over the West's inability to deal with the situation.
 Islamic Jihad is not only fought through terrorism. Is is also done my migrating millions of islamic "refugees" into the western world (Europe and to sdome degree America and Australia)

Women's power in world history - documentary
 
 The position of women has varied greatly throughout history.
 Even Socrates expressed the idea that you can determine how 
civilized a society is by studying how the society treats its 
women.
 
 I have so far seen only Section 1 of the series of 4 episodes.
 It is instructive. It is very much about the laws of different 
societies and how they affected the status of women. But the fact
is that there is just as much about the different laws of 
civilizations, which of course manifest itself in how they treat 
their women.
 
 Section 1: Amanda Foreman traveling in Turkey, Siberia and Greece
and talks about women's history in the early settlements in
Mesopotamia and ancient Greece. It is about the origin of 
patriarchy, women's power, and how and why the status of women 
decreased while humanity at large became richer. Foreman explores
the world's first laws passed in Mesopotamia. Here, issues 
relating to divorce, abortion and the use of the veil. We also 
hear about the extraordinary women in history like Enheduanna, 
the world's first writer to sign her famous name and Hatshepsut, 
the pharaoh of ancient Egypt.
 
 All sections (English spoken with Swedish subtitles) can be seen 
at:
 


 All sections available on UR Play for February 28, 2018
 
 Section 2: Amanda Foreman traveling in Vietnam, China and Japan 
and examines the values ​​and ideals of Confucianism and Buddhism. 
She takes up the relationship of power between women and men in 
different social systems and talks about the relationship between 
Yin and Yang. It is about patriarchy, oppression and subordination,
but also of female leaders, groundbreaking poetry and female 
rebels. Foreman tells of Trung sisters, who revolted against 
traditional gender roles and Empress Wu Zetian, creator of a 
system of government based on the individual's knowledge and 
track record. We also hear about the Japanese poet Murasaki 
Shikibu, and the tradition of binding young girls feet.
 
 Section 3: Amanda Foreman travel to the cities of Istanbul, 
London, Paris and Delhi to investigate the women's way to 
conquer power and freedom. Women who were active in the 
patriarchal system created their own paths to power and influence
and inspired by the intellectual currents and religious ideas of 
their contemporaries. Foreman meets the actor Fiona Shaw, who 
tells us about Elizabeth I of England, who used language and 
symbolism to strengthen her power over the church, court and 
kingdom. We also hear about other extraordinary women in history 
– the Empress Theodora of the Byzantine Empire and Nur Jahan, 
Empress, politician and military strategist in India.
 
 Section 4: Hostess Amanda Foreman travel to Russia, Britain, 
France and the United States to investigate how modern 
revolutions affected the lives of women. Have the French 
Revolution or the Arab Spring improved women's rights and 
opportunities, or was it just different patriarchal hierarchies 
that succeeded each other? Foreman meets Nadezhda Tolokonnikova 
from the activist group Pussy Riot who discuss the development of
Russia under Putin and politician Lindiwe Mazibuko who talk about
the situation of women in Africa. Both mean that the struggle for 
women's rights is done through awareness, dialogue and education.

PS. I have now (10/2) seen all four sections. Must admit that the 
message of this series has gone home with me. I had already taken 
many steps towars being a "feminist" - who is against any ideas
that brings us back to clan patriarchy. I am totally against that 
we in the modern Western societies shall import lots of boys with 
beards and men with medieval patriarchal ideas about how women
should be treated.
