Unassimilated Islam is a Cancer on the West

This is one of the things that makes a blogger wonder how much he may be contributing to the public debate. I believe I may have been among the first to discuss how Sharia culture is a perfect cancer on Judeo-Christian culture. Our beautiful Judeo-Christian culture teaches us to care about each other's feelings. Sharia culture teaches people to attack each other's feelings -- even their own -- with many Islamofascists purposely sending their own children to their deaths by suicide attack. Sharia culture teaches people to be offended by anyone who isn't also a supporter of fundamentalist Islam.

This makes Sharia culture a perfect cancer on Judeo-Christian culture. We are taught to care about their feelings; they are taught to take offense at everything in the Judeo-Christian culture. Unassimilated Islamists here claim offense, for example, at our right to free speech, and our caring people even consider sacrificing free speech so as not to offend.

So I was glad to see in today's paper, a Brewster Rockit cartoon, which makes a similar point. Click here to see the specific cartoon I'm referring to. Evidently, word is getting around. I wonder if I may have made some contribution in that regard.

However, the word is only starting to get out. A recent column by Jonah Goldberg appears to indicate the same trustingness with regard to unassimilated Islam, which has put the culture of Europe in danger of being overtaken and destroyed:

America is fortunate that our Muslim population is vastly more moderate than, say, France's or Denmark's. We're debating how to accommodate girls' basketball teams. Europeans are debating their civilization as some Muslims try to overturn the foundations of secularism and call for the beheading of those who stand in their way.

This doesn't mean we're not in for some screaming matches - or worse - as we deal with Muslim Americans as the new frontline minority, or with the dilemmas of Muslim immigration. But those are subjects for a million future columns.

Goldberg blithely assumes that 'the dilemmas of Muslim immigration' will be 'dealt with' via 'debates' and 'screaming matches' which will provide fuel for 'future columns.' He is reassuringly unconcerned that what will really happen will be hundreds of cars being burned nightly as in France, embassies being burned as in the cartoon riots, etc. etc. His naivete on this subject, if widely adopted here, would lead to the grave danger Europe is currently in.

As I documented in this recent post, there are many unassimilated Islamists in this country. These Islamists are already seeking to destroy U.S. free speech. Goldberg's 'million future columns' will not come into existence if they were to achieve their goals.

The Judeo-Christian culture is going to have to adapt to counter this threat. We're going to have to learn to say, unassimilated Islamists are seeking to destroy our laws and our culture; and either they have to assimilate and give up those pursuits, or we'll have to expel them.
