Can A Dying Civilization Defeat ISIS and Radical Islam?
Breitbart ^ | 11/27/2015 | Tom Tancredo

Posted on 11/27/2015 11:14:33 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

By any measure, we are losing the war against ISIS and radical Islam.

A bigger problem is we do not yet realize we are losing or why. Their legions are growing, their ambitions are apocalyptic, and our resolve is as strong as silly putty.

Without question, our military is superior to any other on earth and we could inflict devastating damage to ISIS if we unleashed our military forces against them. But we are not going to do that—not today, not next month and not after the next atrocity strikes Cleveland, Phoenix or Richmond.

No. Muslims teach their children about the koran from birth and many have memorized much of it as they are expected to do.

Watch Jeopardy and see how little Americans know about the Bible.

In the end, the muslims will take over America. Obama is doing all he can to make sure it happens.

War breeds some heroes and war breeds some defeatists.

I have absolutely no doubt (none) that ISIS will be defeated. Anyone who looks at ISIS and what ISIS is doing and thinks "Winners" are deluding themselves. The rest of the world is not going to tolerate craziness on the level of ISIS. They will be tossed onto the trash heap of history. They have not even a prayer of surviving in their present condition.

A dying civilization can’t beat them.

But, there will come a day when the muzlums will create a situation where the Pajama Boys, Angry Activist Girls, Christian-hating Gays, Invading Hispanics, and even the Blacks will see that our common enemy is REAL and not a microaggression or an internet bully.

Suddenly it will get brutally real for people who don’t know reality from fantasy.

Will that happen too late for us to do anything about it? That is the question.

We can if the truth about Islam is spread around the world and with help from the Almighty.

Yes.

Eventually they will p### this nation off enough to get serious.

Read your WWII history: Hitler (yeah, I know, Godwin’s rule) discounted the US as a player before we got serious. Then he found out how serious we can be when p###ed off.

9-11 should have done that, but it didn’t. Ditto Boston. But when enough pain is felt here, the giant will be awakened.

It will get there...

A dying civilization? Yes it could defeat Islam.

A willfully suicidal civilization? No. No change at all.

Only by having something better to offer to young people.

But our oligarchs want to maintain their ability to loot everyone's future, so that isn't an easy task.

There are many of us who do not concede our civilization is dying and are willing to fight for it.

I’m afraid you are correct.

It’s a pity people have to die end masse for that to happen.

Can A Dying Civilization Defeat ISIS and Radical Islam?

YES to the first question and NO to the second.

ISIS is an external threat, and can be defeated by a small number of dedicated warriors (ie, the military).

Radical Islam is an internal threat, and only can be defeated by the resolve of society. But Western society has no such resolve, and will not be rallied in time.

Yes, if we remove all mosques from the US and deport all Muslims- otherwise the US will be overtaken like Europe.

We can defeat the subhumans. Calling it a dying civilization is circular reasoning: assuming an outcome in the question. “petitio principii “

“Islam has grasped the falsity of the hedonistic attitude to life. Nearly all western thought since the last war, certainly all “progressive” thought, has assumed tacitly that human beings desire nothing beyond ease, security, and avoidance of pain. In such a view of life there is no room, for instance, for patriotism and the military virtues. Islam, because in its own joyless mind it feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings don’t only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flag and loyalty-parades ... Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a grudging way, have said to people “I offer you a good time,” Islam has said to them “I offer you struggle, danger and death,” and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet”

http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/613948-hitler-has-grasped-the-falsity-of-the-hedonistic-attitude-to

A quote from George Orwell. I substituted ‘Islam’ for ‘Hitler.’ Think about it....
(And to “struggle, danger and death” add “loot and sex slaves.”)
