| By NY Times standards, this is fairly enlightened. Or, at least, there are glimmers of light seen through the murky filter of PC think and BDS. |

| #4 Western leaders are playing the political-islam card, and recognizing the enemy as if their ideas are merely a tolerable variant. Reality dictates: islam is organized slavery and the little free thinking that we find in muslims discourse is only transient; wherever they have the numbers, they move against non-muslims. Islam is the worst genocide factory ever concocted, and its founder and slaves are nothing but frauds, thieves and murderers. Within the next few years the enemy will form a demographic majority in their first Western city: Malmo, Sweden. This is what Jens Orback, (Democracy Minister in the Social Democratic government) said during a radio debate that: “We must be open and tolerant towards Islam and Muslims because when we become a minority, they will be so towards us.” Every time a muslim enters the West, our surrender is piecemeal; when they breed, it becomes wholesale. |

| #3 Historically, Muslim flare-ups were short lived, and usually happened when some bin Laden-Mahdi type would get them fired up. Interestingly, their purpose *then* was usually to oust a foreign power. However, today, it is a different kettle of fish. It amounts to a conflict between civilization and barbarity. The radicals see their world slipping away, as the vast majority of Muslims want to modernize. So this tiny minority tries to both *force* Muslims to stay primitive, and annihilate modernity and civilization. The reason that so many pundits in the West focus on the "decadence" of the West, is because the only parallel in which the primitives actually won against civilization was Rome. And this is believed to have happened mostly because Rome had rotted from within. But it is the grand exception. Otherwise, throughout history, barbarians always lose. This is because, except for the fanatic, even the most ignorant peasant can tell what works and what doesn't. Unless they are terrorized into obedience, *and* there *is* no alternative, they will vote with their feet. If the barbarians cannot accomplish both of these things, they lose. |

| #2 The flip tone is a turn off. The message seems to be that there's nothing that can be done about extremism, and we shouldn't even try. |

| #1 I tried to show that radical Islamism is a modern philosophy, not just a heap of medieval prejudices. Some things are just as valid today as they were hundreds of years ago. In fact, if it weren't so valid, it would have died out long ago, like the Shakers. It's simple: Get them indoctrinated while they are young. The rest is easy. |
