This Time, Islam Doesn't Need the Sword to Conquer Europe

On the heels of my last blog--which detailed Dutch MP Geert Wilders' courageous but lonely stand against radical Islam in the Netherlands and greater Europe--I thought readers would be interested in this sobering assessment from Elizabeth Wright, black conservative editor of the Issues & Views blog.

"At one time it appeared that Europeans had no difficulty understanding why masses of Muslims must never be allowed to group within European borders. The history of the Muslim conquest of large sections of the Continent, and the eventual expulsion of said Muslims, was not some meaningless fairy tale. That earlier experience with the sons of Muhammad seemed to teach Westerners that Islam is a civilization unto itself, whose masses come to plant their way of life, not to be absorbed by or assimilated into another. Europe's committed assimilationists would, no doubt, be offended by Japan, whose officials declare they will never allow Japanese society to be overtaken by alien cultures. How did today's Europeans devolve into such a benighted condition that they would prefer to beat up on Brigitte Bardot, rather than listen to truth? The desire of commercial interests for ongoing sources of cheap labor is primarily why feckless Westerners now put their territories in danger and throw open their borders to alien populations. And then there is the ordinary European who, over several decades, much like his American counterpart, has been socialized to fixate on cleansing himself of possible sins of the mind, which might inspire 'white supremacist' thoughts. Anxious to show his zealous commitment to 'diversity,' lest anyone mistake him for a skeptic of the West's new multicultural religion, this man's fear of being labeled 'racist' far surpasses all other concerns. And so he sits and observes as one region after another of his homeland falls under the sway of foreigners. This time the Muslims did not have to come with a sword to conquer."

I can't think of anything to add here other than "Amen."
