What challenges does the Western political tradition pose to Islam?

Question

and
How have various Muslim traditions responded to this challenge?
Please explain

Answer 1

Islam leads to an authoritarian, essentially closed, society. The ability of the religious clerics to continue to hold power is absolutely dependent upon their ability to keep the vast majority of their adherents in a state of ignorance about the rest of the world, just as was the case in the Soviet Union and to a large degree is still the case in communist China.

The Western tradition, including the political tradition, is one of openness and transparency, an information society.

In the nature of things, contact between Muslims and citizens of the Western democracies inevitably erodes the Muslims' ignorance of the rest of the world. It is impossible to keep the genie in the bottle, and as Muslims become more worldly, which the Muslim theocracy cannot prevent, the power of the Muslim theocracy continues to erode until the theocracy begins to resemble the Wizard of Oz, frantically pulling the levers and shouting at their adherents to pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Eventually, so long as we don't get euchred into propping it up, the entire edifice falls of its own weight.

Answer 2

Specifically, the U.S.A. is powerful, economically rich, and they cannot stand that. Also we are pro-Christ as a nation. More Christians in the U.S.A. than any other religion.

They are trained from the time they are an infant to hate the U.S.A. and to prepare to wage a holy war against us.
Some of the film clips on this are really humorous except that it is sad to see these kids brainwashed to hate Israel and the U.S.A.

Why is all of this happening, it is a war between the sons of Ishmael (Arabs) and the sons of Isaac (Jews).
Ishmael was Abraham's first son, and Isaac the second son.
God told Abraham to give his inheritance to Isaac because he had chosen Isaac to lead the chosen people.
To the Arab, Isaac stole the inheritance from Ishmael, but that is not the way it happened.

Why do they hate the U.S.A., because Israel's weapon systems come from the U.S.A. and much money is given to Israel every year by the U.S.A. If we did not do that, Israel would not exist.
Most of the Arab states have refused to recognize Israel as a nation, even though the U.N. acknowledged it in 1948.

This will not end until the battle of Armageddon when the Arab nations from the North, South, East and West gather together to defeat Israel forever. God will intervene at that point and will destroy the armies of the Arab nations.
Then Israel will accept Jesus as the Messiah.

Answer 3

Government structure of West is the dream world of Islam but individual structure of West is hell, it is just like a Pandora's box of Islam, released into the World.

As for the responses of the Muslim tradition... the 'Jihad' is just waiting, the peaceful transitions.
