Submission and Duality

Islam is based upon two principles - submission and duality. When you understand how these principles work you'll understand the political doctrine of Islam.

Islam's first principle is submission and that is declared in the very name Islam and Muslim. Islam means to submit and Muslim is one who has submitted.

Islam is a chain of submission. The ranking of authority is Allah, Mohammed, the Muslim, the kafir, the dhimmi and the slave. In this country we are beginning to see how submission works. We're not as far along as Europe, but Muslims have immigrated here and have started making their demands. The first thing they have demanded is this. All that is in the textbooks of America must conform to their way of teaching about Islam. No kafir is allowed to write in the textbooks of America something that is critical of Islam. It all has to be vetted by Islam. Our textbook system has already submitted.

But submission is not enough to explain the success of Islam. Its most powerful principle is duality. Duality is the second major principle of Islam. We see duality in how the Koran and Mohammed's life are divided. First comes Mecca, the preacher, the religion--you have your religion, I have mine. Then comes Medina. Medina is Jihad. You must submit in this life or Islam has the option of harming you. The two positions contradict each other, but both of them are equally true.

This duality explains Islam's overwhelming success. Islam has two faces that it presents to the world. The face of Mecca and the face of Medina. Medina is the violent phase, the political phase. Mecca is the nice phase. What we have is that the Koran of Mecca is used as a shield. It's the Teflon coating. It's the public face of Islam. Mecca is what Muslims always talks about when they talk about Islam to kafirs. This duality, this subtlety is what makes Islam so powerful because you can't just jump up and condemn Islam as being totally violent. Most Muslims are not violent at all, so therefore this charge doesn't work.

Duality is when Muslims say that anything that is based upon the Koran of Medina is not the real Islam--Osama bin Laden, 9/11, al Quaeda--oh that's not the real Islam. But the duality of Islam is that two contradictory things are both true. The Muslim friend, the nice Muslim at work, they're only one-half of Islam. The real Islam actually includes the Muslim friend and Osama bin Laden. The real Islam includes the Koran of Mecca (religious) and the Koran of Medina (political).

In our courts of law if you take an oath as a witness, you swear: I will tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The nothing but the truth prohibits lies. But the whole truth prohibits something that's equally a lie, a half truth. The whole truth of Islam includes the half-truth of Mecca and the other half-truth of Medina.

So the religious Koran of Mecca is the Teflon coating. It's the Medina version that's always denied in public, but inside of Islam it is known that Medina outranks Mecca. This outranking of Medina over Mecca is what explains another phenomena in Islam. When something dreadful happens such as the 9/11 destruction of the World Trade Towers, the London bombings, the Mohammed cartoon riots - when that happens Muslims say, "Oh, that is not the real Islam". It is, but they do not protest, they merely deny. Why don't they protest against the Medinan Muslims, the Jihadists? Because they are outranked. The Medinan Koran that celebrates war and political power is higher and more powerful than the Meccan Koran. In the Wizard of Oz movie when they see there's a little man behind the curtain and the voice says "oh no, no, do not look at the man behind the curtain," that is the way the duality of Mecca and Medina works. Mecca says "oh no, do not look at the Medinan Koran behind the curtain: we don't. And we're fooled.

We need to see the entire truth of Islam. The whole truth, not the half-truth. That is the reason that understanding the principle of duality is an absolute necessity. If you do not understand the principle of duality you will always be fooled by the Koran of Mecca.

Let's see how duality can work in real life. There is a retired military man who is a devout Christian. He had some Muslim friends. They pointed out to him the verses in the Koran of Mecca that sounded very good to him and they said, "This is Islam." He says, "This is very good. This is like Christianity. I like this. And besides, the Muslims are such moral people, they don't drink, their women are very modest, they don't gamble. This must be the real truth of Islam." And off he goes into the market place of ideas proclaiming that Christianity and Islam are perfectly compatible. Indeed they're like brothers. Because of duality he does not understand that there is another truth, the truth of Medina. But his logic is a Western logic and it works like this. The Jihad is contrary to the peace of Islam, so the Jihad must be false because I believe in the truth of the peace of Mecca. Dualism has fooled him.

But dualism is used in all the words of Islam. They use the same words we do but they have entirely different meanings. Let's take for an example the word peace. Salaam. Now that sounds very nice, but when you understand what Islam means by peace it's not nice at all.

Peace in Islam comes only after you have submitted to Islam. The submission can be brought about by jihad. So here we have again the Koran of Mecca covers the Koran of Medina. That is, our common understanding of the word peace hides the fact that jihad can be used to achieve Islamic peace.

Here's another example of dualism--women's rights. Muslims are very quick to use the phrase women's rights and say that, Islam grants women rights. And this is true, but they are the rights to be beaten, the rights to inherit half as much, and the rights to have their testimony be worth half that of a man in court. This dualism allows a Muslim to look straight at a problem and not see the other half. After 9/11 Muslims protested, "Oh we are the religion of peace." They were able to maintain that because they're so used to having a dualistic view. They can accept the religion of peace as being absolutely true, whereas they know that jihad is one of the teachings of Islam. Dualism allows a Muslim to have a totally compartmentalized mind in which the Koran of Medina never interferes with the Koran of Mecca. But deep within the political doctrine of Islam we have duality and the kafir.

Jihad demands complete submission from the kafir and creates the kafir as a completely separate social and political class. Islam allows its women to be beaten. Submission - Duality. A separate set of rules for women. That separate category, kafirs and women, must submit.

Let's take a look at how the principles of submission and duality work with so many Islamic concepts. For instance, slavery. We've already gone over in great detail Islamic slavery and its fundamental principles. Submission and duality completely explain the whole process of slavery. Who submits more than a slave? Who is so separate and apart from us? Slaves fall under a separate moral code. So submission and duality completely explain slavery.

Dhimmi and dhimmitude. Again we have the duality of a social and political class. The dhimmi exists within an Islamic political system in which he is subjugated and not given full legal rights.

And of course the grand duality of all Islam - Mecca and Medina. Mecca must submit to Medina and the duality here is that you have two separate Korans that contradict each other, but both of them are completely true. We see submission and duality in Islam's ethics where we have one set of rules for the believer and another set for the kafir. Islamic politics are dualistic. Mohammed, of course, is the chief dualist. His entire life divided into the preacher which did not work so well, and the successful jihadist -politician. Now Islam says it worships one, and only one, God, but that God, Allah, is the God of duality and the God of submission whom everyone is to fear. The Koran says over 300 times that we are to fear Allah.

All of Islam can be explained by the principles of duality and submission. That's the beauty of knowing the two principles. Once you understand duality, once you understand submission, you really no longer have any need of the doctrine because everything that happens in Islam can be explained by those two principles.

Every political system has fundamental principles that underlie it. Our political system of democracy has the Golden Rule as a foundation. The Golden Rule underlies everything that we do in government. It is our moral and political guide. Treat others as you wish to be treated. Some may jump up and say "we don't always follow that principle, do we?" No, but we use the Golden Rule to criticize our own behavior and if we can clearly point out that something is unfair and abuses others, then the Golden Rule is the principle we use to fix that. It is our guiding principle, even if it is not something that we can always fulfill.

Islam denies the truth of the Golden Rule because the Golden Rule is the same for every person and Islam has two sets of behavior - one for the kafir and the other the believer. Islam divides humanity into Muslims and kafirs.

We need to understand that there cannot be a compromise between submission and duality, and the Golden Rule. We would like to think that everyone can coexist peacefully, but Islam does not work like that. Islam demands submission. There is simply no compromise between a system that wants to use the Golden Rule and be democratic and another system which says that everyone has to submit. When they say everyone has to submit, Islam means everyone. Let's take some political examples.

What we now call Afghanistan used to be a Buddhist nation. It was a nation of peace and wealth. Then Islam invaded. Today in Afghanistan there is not a single Buddhist to be found. Not one. The only place you can find any Buddhism in Afghanistan is if you dig into the dirt like an archaeologist and you may be able to find the remnants of Buddhism.

Islam keeps working until 100% of a civilization gives way to Islam. Today in Turkey it's 99.7% Islamic. Islam is working very hard to make sure that the other .3 of 1% disappears. Over a period of time every single Christian in Turkey will be gone. They will have immigrated or been killed in a street riot. Islam does not cease until submission is 100%. The entire time that it's making the kafir submit; it keeps proclaiming the truth of Mecca.

The principles of submission and duality contradict and deny the Golden Rule. So how can it be if they contradict that they can both coexist? We're going to have to study the laws of duality and submission. Once you understand duality you will not merely understand half a truth and then proclaim that that is the entire truth. You will understand that Islam is grinding away very slowly at our own democratic rights.

Islam has an overwhelming advantage over the kafir. Islam has a thousand year plan. Duality and submission are part of a thousand year plan. Islam's duality and submission are like gravity. It never sleeps. It's always there. Always pressuring, always pushing. Submission must occur with the kafir. If not now, tomorrow. Islam is very patient. Mohammed said in war patience is a virtue. Muslims study Mohammed. They know that submission may take time, but Islam is very patient.

In Turkey it's taken them 400 years to get to the 99.7% mark. They're not in a hurry. They can keep fooling the Europeans and say we're very democratic, but there you have another use of the word by Islam that does not mean what we mean. Democratic in Turkey includes the elimination of all of the kafirs. True democracy is not what Islam practices. True democracy would mean that the kafir has an equal say with the believer. The Koran of Medina says that cannot happen. The kafir must submit to the Koran of Medina. So democracy in Turkey is a sham and a fraud. It is a tool used as a way of submission but in the public face of the political councils of Europe, the Koran of Mecca stands up and says we are a modern state--the veil or Teflon coating, the Koran of Mecca. Meanwhile the sword of the Koran of Medina is working. More Christians immigrate from Turkey all the time, just like they do in Iraq. In Iraq they form 3% of the population and 30% of the immigrants because they're unable to deal with submission inside of Iraq.

But in our country which is still yet free of duality and submission, we keep believing the Koran of Mecca. We are historically ignorant of the principle of duality. We only see one end of the stick. We don't see the other. We don't look at the man behind the curtain. We're fascinated by the cape and ignore the sword. The sweet words of the Koran of Mecca pour out of our media and our universities and our politicians' mouth and we think this is good, we don't have to worry, a peaceful Islam is here, a reformed Islam is here, we can relax, we can go back to sleep.
