Where have they failed the most to try to infiltrate? What countries and why?
Raymond Ibrahim (0:04)
Muslims?
Patrick Bet-David (0:04)
Muslims. So think China, Russia, where have they failed to infiltrate?
Raymond Ibrahim (0:08)
Basically, everywhere. The only place this is happening is in the West. The West has been primed for this. It's been so weakened.
It's amazing, I was in Greece, and they were telling me, all these Muslims come there, and I thought they would have a Islamic migration problem. But he was telling me, no, it's not so bad, because they come there, they don't want to stay there. They want to go to Germany. They want to go to a Scandinavian country. They want to go to Belgium, because that's where they can get all the money. And so it's not just that they're... These aren't refugees just hoping to make it to some Western country. They have a plan. They want to go to the rich country that's going to give them everything they want. Okay, so that kind of situation doesn't exist outside the West. There's no non-Western nation that's going to do that for Muslims, and that's why they don't go there. Okay, that's why they're going to the West, because it's just ripe for conquest. It's doing everything possible to kill itself.
And the Muslims, I don't know, I can't blame them. They're exploiting the situation to their advantage.
Patrick Bet-David (1:00)
Have they failed in China? Have they failed in Japan? Have they failed in some of those countries? And if yes, why?
Raymond Ibrahim (1:07)
If you're comparing it to what's happening in the West, absolutely they failed, and the reason why is because those countries are not idiots. They're not naive. They're not going to be taken over by the soft jihad, the one about, oh, human rights, and oh, we have to help Muslims, oh, look at our crimes historically. They don't think that way, okay, because they're normal. Their brain hasn't been addled by generations of...
Patrick Bet-David (1:26)
You're saying they're normal.
Raymond Ibrahim (1:27)
Of course.
Patrick Bet-David (1:28)
Tell me more.
Raymond Ibrahim (1:28)
Because they're not, they don't think the way we think, which is not we, you and me, the Western way, which is it's my job to take in millions of Muslims, and it's my job to appease them, and it's my job to suppress my religion and culture and heritage, lest I offend them. Nobody outside the West thinks that way, okay, especially Muslims, of course.
And that's why the West is dying, and that's why China doesn't have this problem. India is not going to have this problem. It's only in the West that Muslims are focused because that is the weak victim that is easily exploited.
Patrick Bet-David (2:01)
Can you go a little bit deeper? Why they failed to expand in countries like China and India?
Raymond Ibrahim (2:06)
Because, okay, and this goes back to what I'm saying, Muslims are weak, which means they're not going to expand in any of these countries the way they did historically.
The way Islam expanded historically was with the sword, okay? That was it. And now a country like China or India, they can't go in with the sword and conquer.
But they can't do that in the West either. So why are they doing it in the West and not in China? Because the West is allowing them. And this is one of my main mantras. Everything that's happening to the West by Muslims is 100% being enabled and the ways being paid for them by Western policy, by Western politicians, by the academics who prime our mind into thinking this way, being receptive to and apologetic to and wanting to appease Islam, all of that. None of that exists outside the West. It's insanity, actually.
Patrick Bet-David (2:57)
Yeah, this concept, I read somewhere where they try to, and I'm trying to see if it was Japan or if it was China, they try to spread the word and they try to expand and there was no interest and it wouldn't land at all.
Culture, like, there's nothing we can do with the Japanese people. I don't know which one it was. It was one of them.
And I wonder why. Is it more the pride? Is it more knowing? Is it more like, this is not a serious religion? Or is it, what the reasoning is why?
Raymond Ibrahim (3:28)
Because those people have pride, confidence, and a desire to maintain their own civilization, okay? The Chinese, it's only in the West that you have this idea that I have to accommodate the other, okay? So in the West, oh, I have to give you the same rights. You have to have your mosques. Oh, I better not talk about Christmas. Oh, I defend you. Oh, I better not do this, that. Okay, that mentality, which is sick, doesn't exist outside the West. You're not going to go to China and say, oh, I expect you guys, you know, don't offend me and you have to like make room for my ways. Nobody's going to do that. Muslims are not going to do that for you. Gay Hindus are not going to do that for you. And rightfully so. So the problem is that these countries, because Islam is inherently weak on the one hand, and these countries, well, this is our way. This is our country. What do you want? And Islam can't force its way. It makes no inroads. In the West, Islam is again inherently weak. But the West is weak on a metaphysical level, which means they're capitulating left and right.
