Clash of Cultures (The West's Reckoning)
American Rattlesnake ^ | August 5 2016 | Gerard Perry

One of the more arresting scenes in Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s memoir takes place when she visits her dying father in a London hospital. A man that despised the West, who tried to force his daughter into an arranged marriage which would have enslaved her to purdah for the rest of her natural life, yet exploited its generosity and technological prowess in order to prolong his existence, the dialogue between father and daughter vividly illustrates the problem of Muslim integration.

An even starker, more immediate contrast between these two irreconcilable civilizations occurred earlier in that chapter, when Ayaan was walking towards her father’s deathbed and came across a group of women-presumably-enshrouded in niqabs.

Women who proudly embraced a symbol of 7th century Arab-Muslim hegemony and hatred of Western values were now defiantly walking through Europe’s commercial capital. The shock evinced by Ayaan, who was born into the Hawiye tribe in the Horn of Africa, merely served to demonstrate the journey-not only in distance, but in mentality-which she had made over the 4 decades of her life, and the emotional and intellectual stagnancy so many others who came there remain mired in.

I was reminded of these scenes while reading about the latest atrocity perpetrated by a Somali refugee, or a Norwegian-Somali, in the bizarre parlance of the UK press, on the streets of London. It’s difficult to say whether the political leaders who have brought this dystopian hell-scape to our shores fully understand the implications of what they’re doing, or if they even care.

The irony is that the same people God used to punish Judah and the northern tribes are the same race of people He's using to get our attention.

"Day of Reckoning" indeed.

How long did we think we could continue to murder His unborn as well as celebrate filth like Bruce Jenner without consequence?

muslims are raising committed, unquestioning warriors.

The West is busy creating unique little snowflakes. Each one filled with unearned self esteem, a dislike of their own culture, and an inability to handle conflict.

We all know where this is headed.

My opinion is that the leaders are in agreement with the Muslim refugees flooding into their countries because they want open borders and a One World Order.

So to them (these globalist Marxist leaders), it matters not whether the population is European or Middle Eastern because they get more power and control over the populations this way. Individual rights have no standing with these people. If a few girls get raped and some citizens killed by these barbarians, so be it. They just look at it as the cost of globalization and multicultural diversity.

To watch from a distance what these countries in Europe have done and are still doing to themselves, is sad. And then I see that Obama has rushed some 10,000 of these Muslim refugees into the US to meet some sort of personal goal of his to destroy America as a Western power is not just sad but maddening, because I live here.

Trump will put a stop to this in the US. Go Trump 2016!

These elites in power who now clamor for a “One World
Government” are not as smart as they think. History repeats
itself; with barbarians at the gates, crashing the gates
of the “exclusive enclaves” of the ultra-rich leaders,
overwhelming and executing THEM first.

Plausible. Disturbing.

Not necessarily first, but they get there eventually.

I agree with John Derbyshire, if there is a Germany half a century from now, Angela Merkel's corpse will receive the Cromwell treatment-deservedly so.

Interesting take.

Jonathan Cahn points out that the Assyrians (not the Syrians), who lived in what is now Iraq, were the originators of terror as a means of domination of other tribes, and their M.O. and culture survive today.

I wonder if very many of us realize what we are up against. Think of your most dearly held belief, and then imagine what goes on in the minds of those who cherish terrorizing others as much as you cherish your belief.
