• XREF: connects to: I will then consider the demographic factors of fertility rates, age distribution, and migration. Much like conversion, white nationalists view high Muslim fertility rates as a form of jihad. White nationalists use violent rhetoric such as ‘literal baby boom’ (Steyn 2008, xviii) and ‘war of the wombs’ (Kilpatrick 2106, 131) to paint Muslim motherhood as weapon wielded against Western society. This concept of ‘baby jihad’ objectifies Muslim women as baby-producing machines. In turn, these babies will bring about the ruin of Western society through stealth jihad to implement Sharia law, amongst other things such as genital mutilation, rapes, and persecution of Christians. These fears are exacerbated by an aging European population in contrast to a young Muslim population. Finally, migration is viewed as another type of demographic weapon. White nationalists write of the ‘hijra’ as a form of stealth jihad (Corcoarn 2105b), a ‘Trojan horse’ (Solomon and Al Maqdisi 2009) to alter the demographic make-up of non-Muslim countries and implement Sharia law.; Kilpatrick defines hijra as ‘slow-motion conquest by migration’ (2016, 116). White nationalists see hijra and the Prophet Mohammed’s example as a parable about migration as a weapon against non-Muslim societies. Kilpatrick wrote that ‘Muhammad didn’t come to Medina in order to integrate, he came to dominate. In a relatively short time, he expelled or killed the Jews in Medina and established Islam and the only religion in the region’ (2016, 131).; Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi said in 2006 that ‘We have fifty million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe—without swords, without guns, without military conquests. The fifty million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.’ (Spencer 2009). This quote has been cited as evidence of ‘hijra’ on websites such as Refugee Resettlement Watch (Corcoran 2015a) and Jihad Watch (Spencer 2009). (+10 more)
