In the ongoing struggle between Islam and the West, one important fact is regularly overlooked: one civilization has the will to triumph, but not the way; the other has the way to triumph, but not the will.
Some who fear Islam do not seem to understand this. They think that Islam is an irresistible force to be reckoned with; they see Muslim migrants as hordes of violent men invading Europe; they call on Western men to make a stand, resist the onslaught, save their women and children.
To be sure, this portrayal is historically valid: for one thousand years, Muslims repeatedly invaded and conquered portions of Europeterrorizing, massacring, raping and enslaving in the name of Allahand were only repulsed by force of arms.
Todays situation is far less dramatic and epic; its actually quite pathetic. Muslim terrorists, rapists, and ISIS-sympathizers are not entering the West against its will but because of it. In other words, the West is 100% responsible for this invasion.
Consider it by analogy. What if zoos began to maintain that its a slanderous stereotype to say that lions by nature prey on zebras? Zoos start introducing lions into zebra enclosures. The inevitable happens: although well fed, some lions continue chasing and mauling zebras. Surely only a great fool would blame the ensuing carnage on lionswho, after all, are merely being lionswhile ignoring those who insist on placing lions with zebras in the first place.
Similarly, those Western policy makers who continue insisting that Islam is peaceful (despite the overwhelming evidence otherwise), and that Muslim immigration is fine (despite the overwhelming evidence otherwise), are 100% to blame when Muslims terrorize, rape, and kill non-Muslims in the Westthat is, when they do what comes natural back home.
Still, Western politicians get away with warped policies because the general publicincluding the average voterhas been bred on warped views. Thus, even as Germans were being overwhelmed by a million Muslim migrants, Dr. Stefanie von Berg, speaking before parliament, loudly proclaimed:
Mrs. President, ladies and gentlemen. Our society will change. Our city will change radically. I hold that in 20, 30 years there will no longer be a [German] majority in our city. . And I want to make it very clear, especially towards those right wingers: This is a good thing!
Such suicidal words can be spoken and enacted only because voters have been conditioned to accept and support suicidal policies (which of course are dressed up to satisfy Western vanity). If they hadnt, people like Berg, far from being elected to parliament, would be incarcerated for treason or committed into mental wards.
In the end, the relationship between Islam and the West is understood by the dichotomy of the will and the way. The West has the wayincluding the military and economic mightto utterly neutralize Islam, one way or the other. Yet it doesnt even have the will to preserve itself. Ban Islams presence from the Westwhich is doable, provided the will is thereand Islamic terrorism on Western soil ceases. Its that simple.
Conversely, Islam most certainly has the will to eliminate the West, though it currently doesnt have the way (minus those ways the West gives it). Historically, for over one millennium, whenever Islam had the way, it always went on the offensive.
Back then, when much of the world was limited to fighting with swords and spears, arrows and fireback when Islam was on an even footing with its neighborsuntold millions of non-Muslims were slaughtered, enslaved, or converted to Islam. This is seen in the historical fact that the overwhelming majority of territory that today constitutes the Muslim world was seized from non-Muslims by great violence and bloodshed.
Western military technology eventually progressed to the point that Islam was left in the dust. Its will to dominate went dormant but remained intact.
Put differently, if Islam was the one to develop sophisticated armaments and weapons of mass destruction, while the West was still using swords and spears, there would be no West to speak of today. Faced before Islams three choicesconversion, enslavement, or annihilationthe West wouldve gone the way of the dodo, like many civilizations before it.
Yet here is the free and mighty West, refusing to use its powerseven in the name of self-preservationwhile empowering an Islam that openly vows to, and will, subjugate the West, once the way to do so becomes available.

They’ve got a way. Making babies.
Islam is a destructive force...not a vibrant culture that has the power to replace the Judeo/Christian world.
Islam is more like a zombie apocalypse than a culture. There is no art, no music, no humor, no happiness. There is only domination and subjugation.
Why that’s socialism.
Babies are easy to kill.
So are all those burkas running around pushing their baby carriages.
Kicking ‘em OFF WELFARE will starve them out of the country very effectively—you just have to DO IT!
Criticize this mob, and just see who gets arrested.
Sheer numbers have not been effective in war lately—see the Somme of 1916. That Maxim/Vickers gun worked pretty well, then as now.
The only reason we put up with all this sh#t is the VAST liberal establishment that SUPPORTS and FINANCES it all.
They are running out of gas and $$$ quickly—By summer things will get more interesting. Lock and load, boys and girls.
Really? Becoming a ________________ (fill in the blank with the name of a war torn muslim city) is a good thing? How is it a good thing? Is it a good thing for the German people? For the rest of the ethnic europeans? For the western world? Is islam a good thing? NOOOOOOOO! Islam is the anti-christ, it is the end of all goodness in the world. It is destructive, vile and evil and the bible warned us about it. Replacing your citizens with the un-evolved minions of the uncivilized world is not going to make the rest of the world a better place. They will destroy the world. It will either be blown to pieces or turned into a desert like the Sahara. I hate because there are things worthy of hatred, such as useful idiot cancers who want to welcome and aid the genocidal world in its takeover of the civilized world. These useful idiots are irrational stockholm inflicted islamophiles.
Yes, they make many babies.
They also have Obama, Jarret, Adedin, Guandolo, Elibiary, Ayers...
