The Muslim Mind is on Fire

Youssef M. Ibrahim writes in this editorial that the continued attacks on the West by Islamofascists have caused a change in Western opinion regarding the status of Islam and the war on terror. He argues, correctly I think, that the West as a whole is just about fed up with the excuses of Muslims everywhere that Islam is a "religion of peace" when in fact we get daily demonstrations of just the opposite.

When this tipping point comes about, we can expect a harsh reaction from Western governments and from their populations with respect to Muslim populations both within as well as outside their borders. The continued calls for jihad coming from Muslim pulpits in mosques around the country will not long be tolerated if suicide bombings come to America. And the chances are that they will come. The result will be a disaster for the Muslim community if it remains silent on the subject. It will be seen by the rest of the population as complicity in the terror and apathy regarding any internal solution that they might have acted on earlier.

After such attacks as we saw in London, there will be little patience and less sympathy for the terrorist sympathizers, both in the Muslim community as well as among The Angry Left.
