Three Harrowing Paragraphs
Tony Blankley warned us. Now, in the wake of the Eurabian uprising, he's warning us again - the West is in a battle to the death with world Islam:
What we have here is the Crusades in reverse. Rather than Christian hordes from Europe trying to take the Holy Land from the Muslim Ottoman Turks, now we have Muslim hordes from the Middle East conquering post-Christian Europe from the inside - and enjoying a great deal more success than their seventh-century counterparts ever did.
I dare say the ultimate key to winning this clash of civilizations is for Western culture to re-Christianize itself, and rediscover the fact that, while too much chauvanism can certainly be dangerous (just look at the Islamist quoates above), a modest quantity to cover and cohere common values and beliefs is critically essential if those values and beliefs are to be defended and preserved.
It has been said that Europe is a generation or so further down the same road on which America is also traveling. The watershed events unfolding across Europe right now are the most day-glo obvious indication yet that what is needed from the EUnuchs and the American Left, is a change of direction.
What was that Ben Franklin axiom? "We must all hang together, or we shall surely all hang separately."
As Paul Belien, writing from Brussels this weekend observed: "It is not anger that is driving the insurgents to take it out on the secularized welfare states of Old Europe. It is hatred. Hatred caused not by injustice suffered, but stemming from a sense of superiority. The "youths" do not blame the French, they despise them."
As Mr. Belien reports, look what a typical radical Muslim leader, Dyab Abou Jahjah, the leader of the Brussels-based Arab European League says: "We reject integration when it leads to assimilation. I don't believe in a host country. We are at home here and whatever we consider our culture to be also belongs to our chosen country. I'm in my country, not the country of the Westerners."
Or consider the statement of a German radical Islamist that I recounted in my book (based on a National Public Radio news story broadcast): "Germany is an Islamic country. Islam is in the home, in schools. Germans will be outnumbered. We [Muslims] will say what we want. We'll live how we want. It's outrageous that Germans demand we speak their language. Our children will have our language, our laws, our culture (The West's Last Chance, page 75). [emphases added]
