Europe is in a sorry state. England, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy have all imported Muslims the way we have imported Mexicans for cheap labor. Europe seems to be totally forgetting, or ignoring, the former occupation by the Moors. Gradually they are transforming from Protestant and Catholic nations to Muslim nations. Many Russian provinces also have significant Muslim populations. I worry that, if that trend continues, our country will be alone in the world.
What also bothers me is that we still do not hear a loud defiant outcry, or, more important, see specific actions from the supposed majority of Muslims that believe in peace. The Muslim responses to the Pope’s speech only confirm its content. – “We are not violent, and if you say otherwise we will kill you.” “We are the religion of peace—peace is only achieved when everyone is a Muslim. Join us, or we will kill you.” To my knowledge, in the last 100 years or so, no Christian, Jew, or Buddhist has said that someone who criticizes his faith or caricatures it should be killed, nor taken action in that direction.
It seems that only a few relatively soft-spoken Muslims have denied these tenets. It boggles my mind that so many people believe that we can negotiate or compromise with people who take that position. These people are not all that dumb; they must just be naïve.
