In the recent Moroccan elections the Islamists have been pretty much wiped out. This is just the newest example of a silent trend that's been going on for years now. Islamism - and Islam itself - is collapsing. There's ample evidence for this. Take these numbers from the Arab Barometer.
Quotes:
The decline in trust for Islamist parties is similarly dramatic, falling from 35% in 2013, when the question was first widely asked, to 20% in 2018.
That's a big blow in terms of electoral politics.
The share of Arabs describing themselves as “not religious” is up to 13%, from 8% in 2013. That includes nearly half of young Tunisians, a third of young Libyans, a quarter of young Algerians and a fifth of young Egyptians.
The numbers for young people are stunning.
Then there's the numbers from the GAMAAN survey among Iranians.
Quotes:
The results show that 78% of Iranians believe in God, 37% believe in life after death, 30% believe in heaven and hell, 26% believe jinns exist, and 26% believe in the coming of a savior. Around 20% of the target population does not believe in any of the abovementioned.
The fact that Iran is a literal theocracy makes these numbers even more astonishing.
While 32% of the population identifies as Shi’ite Muslim, around 9% identify as atheist, 8% as Zoroastrian, 7% as spiritual, 6% as agnostic, and 5% as Sunni Muslim. Others stated that they identify with or follow Sufi mysticism, humanism, Christianity, the Baha’i faith, or Judaism, among other worldviews. Around 22% identified with none of the above.
Only 32% are Shi’ite Muslim! The Iranian regime is in serious trouble. I'm not even against their regime per se, but this isn't sustainable.
Approximately half of the population reported losing their religion. On the other hand, 41% did not report significant changes in religious or non-religious views during their lifetime. Around 6% of the population said they had converted from one religious orientation to another.
It seems Christopher Hitchens was right about Iran's youth becoming increasingly secular.
68% of the population believes that religious prescriptions should be excluded from state legislation, even if believers hold a parliamentary majority. However, 14% of the population thinks that the nation’s law should invariably accord with religious prescriptions.
Over two thirds of the population literally rejects theocracy. If that isn't a crisis of legitimacy then I don't know what is.
71% hold the opinion that religious institutions should be responsible for their own funding. On the other hand, 10% thinks that all religious organizations, irrespective of their faith, should receive government support, while over 3% say only Islamic institutions are entitled to such benefits.
It's over for the Velayat-e Faqih.
41% think that all religions should have a right to public proselytizing, while only 4% think this right should be exclusively reserved for Muslims. However, 43% of the population agreed with a blanket prohibition for all religions against proselytizing.
These numbers a simply astonishing.
56% do not want their children to receive religious education at school, but around 54% approve of their children having the opportunity to learn about diverse faiths at school.
The French would be proud. Lol!
58% said they do not believe in the hijab (Islamic veil covering the hair) altogether. Around 72% opposed the compulsory hijab, while 15% insist on the legal obligation to wear the hijab in public.
These are easily the most jaw-dropping numbers. I guess Persian girls love their own hair too much to cover it up. I can't say I blame them.
Anyway, even though I don't hate the Iranian regime, I would love it if they returned to their pre-Islamic roots. As far as the Arabs are concerned, I want them to ditch Islam because it's a religion that inspires them to raise the black flag against Europe. They're an historical enemy after all.
