DELUSIONAL POLITICAL CORRECTNESS & THE TROJAN HORSE OF ISLAM

The late Professor Samuel Huntington of Harvard University famously pointed out in his stellar work, THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS, that throughout  history on any occasion that Islam has abutted the West it has become extremely aggressive.  Certainly, the result of such aggression may be viewed in the Balkans, where Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo and Bosnia are called to mind.

While serving as a provost in the State University of New York during the 1990's, a visiting professor from the Republic of Macedonia related to me how the inflow of Muslims was rapidly changing the culture and character of his country. At that time, out of a total population of 2,000,000, Muslims numbered 700,000.  With Muslim birthrates outstripping those of Christians, it was his fear that his native land would soon be just another Muslim dagger pointed at the heart of Europe and Western Civilization.

The total Muslim population of Europe (including Russia) now surpasses 50,000,000.  The most common name chosen for baby boys in Belgium these days is Mohammed.  In Britain and France there are Muslim suburbs in which it is not safe for unveiled women to stroll the streets.  Oftentimes, in cities such as Marseilles and Toulouse, spillovers from Mosques during Salah (prayer time) tie up traffic and inconvenience neighborhoods.

For those keeping score in the United States, more than 3,100 persons have been killed on American soil by Muslim terrorists since 1972.  Yet, of the approximately 4,700,000 Muslims (estimated by the Pew Research Center) and the more than 2,100 mosques in the United States, little or nothing is heard in the way of condemnations of these horrendous acts of violence.

Over the years, thousands of Americans abroad have been attacked, maimed and murdered, from Beirut to North Africa, to Lockerbie and Tehran.  Muslim terrorists make no bones about it:  they are out to kill infidels and especially Americans.  In effect, dear readers, we are at war.

Meanwhile, on the home front (in the name of diversity), those in power  lecture us with words of pablum on how we must always remember that our attackers are not truly representative of this third great monotheistic religion and the countries dominated by Islam, where almost daily non-Muslim martyrs are imprisoned and tortured on  bogus charges of "blasphemy."

Is it not madness, dear readers, to fail to recognize the dangers which we continue to import into the United States?  Does it not fail the test of reason to hesitate to alter immigration regulations to impede the flow of individuals from lands and religions that might seek to do us harm?  Is it not irrational to attempt to put the brakes on Muslim "students," who become even more radicalized in our own country?  Are our policy makers so ignorant of history that they do not know that Syed Qutub, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood and his followers have, from that organization's earliest days, called for the downfall of the "Great Satan?"  Are we not, on a very large scale, building our own Trojan Horse?

And, finally, have I not by my own obvious disregard of the orthodoxy of "political correctness" shown myself to be a totally irredeemable bigot?  Oh, how I long for the days when at least some degree of reason held sway in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!
