| Fjordman: The Future Doesn't Belong to Muslims |

| #5 Here's my selection of money quotes: The entire project of “spreading democracy” was a mistake from the very beginning, because democracy cannot be exported to an Islamic country such as Iraq. It is stupidity to waste hundreds of billions of dollars on Muslims while Islamization continues apace in the West. Deporting non-citizen Muslims will have much more positive effects in the West than fighting it on their own turf. Steyn also does not fully understand the issue of demography. Islamic countries are parasitical. Even the massive population growth is only an advantage as long as Muslims are allowed to export it to infidel lands. Deprived of this opportunity, and of Western aid, the Islamic world would quickly sink into a quagmire of overpopulation. This is a long-term solution, to demonstrate to Muslims the failure of Islam. With even more Muslims returned to their utopic cesspools, we can bring about this worthwhile "quagmire" a whole lot sooner. Theodore Dalrymple thinks that “Islam has nothing whatever to say to the modern world,” and states that “Personally, I believe that all forms of Islam are very vulnerable in the modern world to rational criticism, which is why the Islamists are so ferocious in trying to suppress such criticism. They have instinctively understood that Islam itself, while strong, is exceedingly brittle, as communism once was. They understand that, at the present time in human history, it is all or nothing. (…) Islamism is a last gasp, not a renaissance, of the religion; but, as anyone who has watched a person die will attest, last gasps can last a surprisingly long time.” As Wretchard says, this is "Islam's Golden Hour". Indeed, it will be and they have made it, an all or nothing proposition. If Europe is saved, it will be because of the Internet. I've said the exact same thing and no truer words can be spoken. Islam is an “all or nothing” religion which cannot be secularized. See above. The good news is that Islam may not be able to achieve the world dominance it desires. The bad news is that it may be able to achieve a world war. We can only cage it as much as possible and try to prevent this from happening. If it's war they want, it would be churlish of us to deny them. Sadly we do not currently possess the political will to answer in kind. Containment and other less effective measures will have to suffice ... For now. |

| #4 Here, Mark Steyn is wrong, which indicates that he doesn’t fully understand Islam. The entire project of “spreading democracy” was a mistake from the very beginning, because democracy cannot be exported to an Islamic country such as Iraq. It is stupidity to waste hundreds of billions of dollars on Muslims while Islamization continues apace in the West. Steyn also does not fully understand the issue of demography. Islamic countries are parasitical. Even the massive population growth is only an advantage as long as Muslims are allowed to export it to infidel lands. Deprived of this opportunity, and of Western aid, the Islamic world would quickly sink into a quagmire of overpopulation. This is a long-term solution, to demonstrate to Muslims the failure of Islam. I think I'm in love. |

| #2 I disagree with Fjordman on one point. He wants to stop the world war from happening, while I am convinced that without a world war, Islam will continue to flourish, bomb, burn, hate, seeth, stone, deface, behead, enslave, murder, and rape it's way into the twenty-second century. Draw the line now, let's end this. |
