Because They Can

Muslims continue to bully the West because we let them

Mark Steyn writes in this column on the way in which elites in the West, who are blinded by their leftist ideology of multi-culturalism, are unable to respond to Muslim mobs who demand the death of our civilization and put out hits on authors deemed un-Islamic. The Brits gave Rushdie a knighthood for his service to literature without understanding that he represents the deep divide in today's Arab world. Much of that world wants to stay in the 7th century and is willing to kill and conquer to stay there. On the other hand the rest of us kind of like having a modern life, but because we have been infected with the sickness of multi-culturalism, we just don't take the murderers all that seriously. Mark Steyn tells us that it is time to take the bad guys very seriously if we want to keep our own civilization.
