And So it Begins...

Paris is burning

For almost two weeks now we have seen the riots in France and it reminds us all too well of another time when a violent movement was rising in Europe to threaten the world. Leaders of the time played down the problem and tried to find ways to appease the threat and for a decade they thought they had done so. They proclaimed "Peace in our Time." But it was a temporary illusion and it did not last. And now we see another barbaric cult of death pushing against the frontiers of civilization across the globe from Europe to America to India to Asia to Africa. It seems there is no place on Earth which is not now under siege from violent Muslims bent on murder and destruction. The leaders of this movement mean to take your freedom away from you by force and to make you a slave, if they let you live at all that is.

The war of Islamism against the world has arrived and we will be fighting it for a very long time to come. It will last for some time because, unlike Germany in the 30's, Islamism is not located in just one geographical area or country. There is no single army or navy to fight. And the enemy may be located in any nation which has allowed uncontrolled immigration of Muslims into its territory. The French did so for forty years. The chickens have now come home to roost. And they have guns and bombs and aren't afraid to use them. The rest of Europe is not far behind.

Note that France is not the only place where the savages are now rioting against civilization. It is telling that they no longer feel the need to hide their agenda. When a mob feels no fear it will be capable of any violence, even setting an invalid woman on fire. The war has arrived in Europe. There will be no bystanders and everyone will have to pick a side. We already know where the left stands.

The Islamists have a utopian ideology, and like the Nazis before them they are uninterested in political dialog or discussion. They consider everyone else to be inferior to them. To the Islamist mind the infidel is less than fully human and thus unworthy of respect And when you see the rest of the world in this way you have no reason to refrain from killing those who stand in your way. Thus the Islamist is at war with the world. American, Hindu, Japanese or French; it makes no difference at all to the enemies of civilization. To them we are all dhimmis to be made subservient to the "master race."

We have, of course, heard this before.
