"Unable to refute Steyn’s statistics and facts, or to deny that the portions of the article they found most offensive were in fact chilling quotations made by radical Muslims themselves, Steyn’s accusers condemned his “tone,” use of “sarcasm,” and reliance upon “subtle intellectual arguments.” "
A split seems to be forming in Western Societies- a split between those for whom it is an article of faith that those who hate us are entirely right to do so, and who will help them destroy us and our institutions; and those who view not just the highly political Islamists/Wahhabists but all Moslems as the enemy. That is probably the least desirable outcome. When our glorious leaders launched into their response to 9/11 and the awfulnesses of the Taleban in Afghanistan, they made sure to make kissy-kissy nicey nicey with the local 'mainstream' Moslems. President Bush even made sure to visit his local mosque within a few days of 9/11, just to show they weren't the baddies.
Sadly, the evidence seems to show that most Moslems in the west at the very least agree with the Islamists main talking points, and hefty minorities will lie and cover for their co-religionists even when they are planning and performing acts of terror. Far from renouncing the terrorists, the statistics seem to show a gradual drift of 'mainstream' Moslems towards the language and world-view of the terrorists. How will this play out?
If India is any indication, badly. Moslem/Hindu relations have just got worse and worse over time. Since partition, Pakistan and India have fought five wars, and avoided war on numerous occasions when it looked likely to go 'hot'. Partition was intended to PREVENT that, but the Moslem response to being given their own homeland in the subcontinent was to launch 'jihad' from within those borders, and to commit innumerable acts of terror to get 'their' Kashmir back. Numerous plots and series of explosions against Hindu India have been committed regularly over the last sixty years by radical Moslems living in India, born and bred in India, citizens of India. Are Indian Moslems likely to stop behaving like this? The track record makes that highly unlikely.
Same with Pakistani Moslems in Britain and Canada? Highly likely. They are the same people with the same mindset and the same callow indifference to Britons and Canadians. Many observers see the Lawfare being waged by Pakistanis in Britain and Canada as a parallel front in the jihadi war. It is likely to be far more successful than the kinetic war front, as lefty morons in the 'human rights' industry are happy to hand them all the weapons they need to defeat us in our own law courts. When Britain can't deport Afghan terrorists who hijack a plane because of the utterly absurd International Convention on Human Rights we signed up to, what possible hope can we have to defeat local homegrown agitators and provocateurs who use the legal system as their theatre of combat?
As I've said before, the last time a large minority of English residents assisted foreign armies (read terrorists) against the English in our homeland- the Danes- there were anti-Danish massacres all over the country, and eventually King Aethelstan took English armies into the Danelaw and conquered them by force of arms. Do we really want a replay?
