Dhimmitude in a Decade

Posted by Evan McLaren on August 06, 2008

Gates of Vienna links to a remarkable video clip. An Egyptian Muslim preacher explains, in quite lucid terms, his idea of how Islam might come to dominate Europe within a decade.

Seems like a truly reasonable fellow. He almost made me forget why I’m with those who wish to halt immigration. But then, terror bombings aren’t really “mistakes” “provoked” by anti-Islamic Europeans, are they?

Well, except for that outrageous description of bombings as merely an ‘inappropriate reaction’, this fellow is among the more reasonable sort. He’s saying that Muslims should mingle with the Europeans and “be successful and respectable” - by the standards of the host country, or it wouldn’t work as a the propaganda tool he’s looking for.
Knowing the ghettos of many German cities as I do, I’ll take “successful and respectable” Muslims over the dross we’re currently burdened with any day.
Huns, Mongols, Ottomans… all came and went. We’ll deal with this lot too, somehow.

No… they are not. The “they’re attacking us here because we’re ‘over there’” argument may spotlight the best recruiting incentive bin Laden has, but at some point we must recognize that Islamic radicals have been relentlessly attacking the West since the hijack crisis of the 1970. They have voiced endless excuses for spilling the blood of infidels - Israel, the occupation of the Holy Land, Western “racism” - but the fact remains that once these self-legitimizing turd-bags smelled blood in the water, they began killing Westerners whenever and wherever they could. That these attacks have been met with Western cringing and self-hating apologies has only served to inflame them. They’re pumped up on yet another ridiculous Mideastern fairy tale, the region’s senile, bloodthirsty God is claimed as their exclusive possession, and so we must suffer at the hands of yet another dog-pile of “true believers.” While the Iraq War is inexcusably savage and pointless, there’s some currency to the idea that we must occasionally thin the herd of jabbering fanatics, lest they gobble us up.

The Mohammedan understands the West better than most Westerners.  Too bad so many “Christians” of a generation or so ago deceived themselves into believing that having a newer Buick, a more expensive brand of scotch or bigger color teevee than one’s neighbors (status) was the true purpose in leading a “godly” life.

Westerners, especially the women, will find committed, materially successful, conviction-filled Muslims almost irresistible as times toughen and post-Christian Western hedonism proves itself too costly a burden to bear.

Cipher,

If Mohammedan appraisal of Westerners is as blinkered and covetous as your’s, they face a long hejira catching up to us.
