Jihadism and Colonialism

Jihadism is European colonialism in reverse. The main European nation-states invaded territories all over the globe and created a very strong sense within their states that their peoples were a superior race. The European nation-states became racist states by continuous war against weaker colonized peoples. They created unity at home by subjugating foreign peoples who were not white. Just as jihadists today use one religion to the exclusion of all others to reinforce their racist war, so did the former imperialist nation-states. Britain made Protestantism a national religion that it spread throughout its colonies. Spanish and French and Belgian colonialism used  Catholicism as a part of their colonial ideology. Any type of simplistic joining of religious power and political power directly supported colonial wars to conquer the world and steal its wealth. Jihadists are not white Caucasians and this helps make them in their minds one race and by adopting a simplistic exclusive interpretation of one religion against all other religions, they give themselves a solid psychological foundation, like the 19th century white imperialists, to make war on an enemy white race. No need to speak of Hitler’s imperialistic murderous racism except to say that it was 19th century European imperialism carried to the extreme and that it has reappeared in the jihadist ideology.
    Murderous individualistic jihadist terrorism has found a target for its bombs and bullets in the soft belly of European nation-states. Nationalistic humanistic cultures developing above some religious foundation and unified further by some national language were once the vital heartbeat of Europe. We can not say that these cultures are gone but where they are still alive, they are weak and sickly. The attack on Charlie Hebdo was a knife driven into the back of a living element of French culture, its wit. But what do France and other European nation-states have beyond their wit? Vital religions? Arts and literatures in step with new developments of nationalisms reaching forward towards new brilliant creative outbursts? European cultures have whittled themselves down to defending themselves with penciled comic pictures against the inhuman racism of the jihadists at war on European streets armed with Kalashnikovs.
     Only some new form of expansion of European and American cultures and political systems that is not grounded in any religion or any racism or any old-style colonialism can prevent jihadism from taking root worldwide. 29 nation-states with the remnants of European national cultures exist in a union in Europe. If each of these states became a state in the American union, our union of 79 states would mean the end of all wars on our planet forever. The 50 states of America will not have a white majority in the near future so that there would be so many new creative opportunities for citizens of all colors in our worldwide community that jihadism would seem to us no more than a nuisance.  Jihadists could still attack us from within but we would be so strong and so confident in the vital creative strength of our revolutionary new world  that we could swat away jihadist attacks as though their warriors were flies.
