The challenge is very different now. Instead of withdrawing into a pacifist idyll, as its critics claim, Europe is in the process of refitting its armed forces for tasks that mass armies cannot perform. Just how it will respond at the next time of crisis is uncertain. But it is clear that the greatest threat to peace arises no longer from the nations within Europe but from the barbarians without.And the barbarians who managed to emigrate to Europe are every much the barbarians they were before they arrived.
Given the endless stories of how Europe is faced with a constantly expanding Muslim population, it is heartening to read that they are in the process of refitting their armed forces. The sad part is that Europeans are going to dither around and forego the opportunity to expel Muslims from their midst or force them to renounce the repulsive features of Islam upon pain of personal and familial expulsion.
This will require a clarity and determination that a people grown softheaded cannot presently muster. So, sadly, the inevitable final confrontation will be decided by internal military means. At least there is some slight evidence for that, since what would be the purpose of this refit, when there is no prospect of a general international conflict? Preparation is good. Very good. I only hope that preparation is for the right objective – crushing Islamic insurrection.
If you think me overly harsh in my belief in my assessment of Islam as a virulent enemy of the western order, read this about the Muslim declaration of war on the West.
I’m tired of accommodating these . . . uh, jokers. Western tolerance for terror, subversion, and jostling for implementation of the sharia is not infinite. Mine is nonexistent.
