Cohabitation with Islam

Robert Spencer reports in Front Page Mag about the writings of the wives of the terrorists recently arrested in Cananda. Here are some of the wives' unedited posts on the internet:


"Know what you will face one day. Let them call you a terrorist, let them make you look like a savage, but know that THIS [the American military] is the filth of the earth, the uncivilised destroyer of humanity."

"[And] if [my husband] ever refuses a clear opportunity to leave for jihad, then i want the choice of divorce."

"All muslim politicians are corrupt. There's no one out there willing to rule the country by the laws of Allah, rather they fight to rule the country by the laws of democracy."

"Are you accepting a system that separates religion and state? Are you gonna give your pledge of allegiance to a party that puts secular laws above the laws of Allah? Are you gonna worship that which they worship? Are you going to throw away the most important thing that makes you a muslim?"

Spencer then writes:

One primary lesson that authorities should draw from these Internet postings is that Islamic terror is not a problem that can be solved by social engineering. It cannot be assuaged by gestures of good will, negotiations or concessions. There is in Western countries today a large and growing population of Muslims, among whom are many who have no intention of assimilating or adopting Western values and perspectives, and who regard the West with as much or more disdain and contempt as these women show in their Internet postings. The jihad ideology as such must be confronted and combated, or it will continue to spread, and breed terrorists and subversives.

But for authorities to understand this and take positive steps to deal with it, they would first have to admit that Islam has anything to do with terrorism at all - something they have taken great pride in denying. And that denial only ensures that there will be many more jihad cells in Canada and Western countries, with the wives of the plotters cheering from the sidelines.

Most Western leaders would seemingly rather allow Western Culture to dissolve into history than utter the politically-incorrect thought that Islam and the West might be an incompatible marriage. Idealistically clinging to multi-culturalism and liberal immigration principles is becoming a very expensive and myopic policy. But we are so adept in this country at ignoring problems, regardless of their size, that I wonder what (if any) number of negative experiences would cause us to remove our blinders and see that we cannot live peacefully alongside a colony of jihadists and their supporters.

Liberals exhibit such a healthy fear of global warming... saying that the dangerous possibilities are just too horrible and serious not to address. I wish they would take notice that things are heating up very rapidly on another front, constituting a much more palpable threat than the shrinking of glaciers.
