Exploring the Contrasts of Uncertain Christianity and Certain Islam

Christianity has ceded certainty to Islam, Islam with its rigid certainty and lack of tolerance gives the tribe seeker, what they lack in their lives. The Rushdie affair underscored this: while Islam rallied with resolute conviction, Western liberalism wavered, failing to robustly defend free expression. What will shock most people is that Islam saw and see themselves as the reforming truth, that is that only they show the way to Allah/God, and the Christian Trinity was a weakening of monotheism, and of course Mohammed the final prophet with Jesus an inferior prophet. Why would you assimilate with inferior people?

Christianity must reclaim its own certainty.

Why we are here:

The modern Western mind is built on epistemological chaos. There is no fixed truth, no objective source, no final authority. Everything is fluid, self-defined, and constantly rebranded.

• Truth is a social construct.

• Reality is a feeling.

• Morality is a personal experience.

• God is optional, or offensive.

And when your way of knowing is rooted in radical uncertainty, your very being "your ontological self" begins to unravel.

Who are you, if truth is negotiable? What are you, if identity is self-constructed, then re-constructed again tomorrow?

You become untethered. Drifting. Free, maybe, but also fragile. Desperate for meaning, yet hostile to anything that demands allegiance.

Islam, on the other hand, is built on epistemological rigidity.

Truth is pre-written. Reality is declared. Morality is fixed. Identity isn’t found, it’s assigned. The Quran is truth. The Prophet is final. The law is eternal. That’s it.

No debate, doubt or deviation. And in that rigidity lies its power: ontological certainty.

The Muslim knows who he is. He knows what’s right and what’s wrong. There’s no identity crisis, because the system doesn’t allow one.

While the Western man drowns in infinite options, the Muslim is anchored in submission. While the Westerner bends truth to his feelings, the Muslim bends his feelings to “the truth.”

One is paralyzed by choice. The other is mobilized by command.

The West, in its tolerance, wants to give Islam “space.” But Islam doesn’t want space, it wants replacement.

It interprets Western pluralism as proof that its own unshakable truth must fill the void. And it does, methodically, strategically, and unapologetically.

Because the Islamic system doesn’t just produce different ideas, it produces a different kind of human. One who sees doubt as weakness. Freedom as disorder. And Western values as symptoms of a dying civilization.

If the West refuses to recover a firm theological core, if it continues to flirt with relativism and make peace with uncertainty, then its only option for survival is to dismantle Islam’s claim to epistemological legitimacy.

This isn’t about banning a religion, it’s about rejecting a truth system that is inherently totalitarian, incompatible with liberal values, and designed to dominate everything it touches.

Islam thrives in the West not because it’s true, but because nothing else dares to say it isn’t.

And if Islam is treated as a valid, untouchable source of truth, it will fill every space the West vacates in the name of tolerance.

Either the West reclaims its own foundations, or it must name and dismantle the one that seeks
