There is no moderate version of Islam.
“The reason these ulema are getting targeted is because they tell the truth — and the truth is that the ongoing fighting is just for power,”
This is self-deceit, and someone confusing truth and fact. Fact and truth are not one and the same, even though they ought to be. Believing something to be true does not make it so. It is true that some people believe in things that are not true.
- Fact is the ideology of Islam in its entirety.
- Truth is what each individual faction believes it to be.
The Taliban is fighting for what I believe to be the true version of Islam. The moderate version of Islam is a self-deceiving fiction generated for political reasons. The political reason being to avoid a direct confrontation with Islam that would involve a very high degree of unpleasantness. Is this cowardice or political miscalculation?
“It is impossible to estimate the exact number of Islamic scholars executed by the Taliban over dissenting opinions” “Hundreds are believed to have been killed over the past 16 years of war,”
Anyone that criticizes islam, Muslim or non-Muslim, is likely to be killed. That is the true nature of Islam, the violent version that forces itself on others; the version that Westerners find so hard to understand.
Of course the Taliban is fighting for power that is what Islam is all about, domination.

No doubt the Taliban and their chums in Pakistan's ruling elite will be taking their cut in return for services rendered - shortly to appear on Western streets courtesy of grooming gangs and used to ply young girls with, all the money laundered by City financial firms.

Welcome to 4 Freedoms!
(currently not admitting new members)
Page Monitor
Just fill in the box below on any 4F page to be notified when it changes.
Muslim Terrorism Count
Mission Overview
Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them.
At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.
Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.
We need to capture this information before it is removed. The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.
We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.
The 4 Freedoms
These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper).
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).
An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:
- Religious and cultural activities are exempt from legal oversight except where they intrude into the public sphere (Res Publica)"
