Knowledge is the Power of Understanding


You have heard that knowledge is power. The usual connotation of power might be the ability to be superior, authoritative and controlling over another.

In this instance think of “knowledge is power” in the sense of understanding that enables one to make correct and definitive decisions that benefit one’s life or another’s life. I am talking about qualitative power so as not to be deceived and to make good choices out of a multiplicity of choices of which some could lead to negative ends.

The blog
Klein Verzet has made an interesting observation about the Danish and the Dutch. These people are typically for Liberal European in their social and political outlook on culture. They have in recent years been very supportive of Arabs that call themselves Palestinians and Arabs in general and negative toward Israel and America.

Due to Mohammedan acts of violence toward what many in those nations consider freedom of speech, many Danes and Dutch have began to examine what the nature of Mohammedanism is. Indeed recent polls have demonstrated that the Danes (
Here and Here on Danes) and Dutch probably more knowledgeable about Mohammedanism than Christianity.

Why have the Danes and the Dutch become so knowledgeable about Mohammedanism? It may surprise you it is not because the people in these two nations have a huge affinity toward that so-called
religion of peace. Rather the reason lies in the hatred spewed on the Danish for protecting the Free Speech of cartoonist that published satirical cartoons of Mohammed in Denmark and in the Netherlands the Mohammedans murdering and threatening to murder prominent Dutch citizens.

Because of this attack on the lifestyle of living by Mohammedans on native Danes and Dutch a growing movement has began in those two nations (which has a significant amount of Mohammedans residing) to understand the negative nature of Mohammedanism.
