One of the most dangerous lies of political correctness is the equality of different civilizations. The rage of Islam is largely rooted in the reality that while Islam destroyed Persian, Byzantine, and Hindu civilizations, it replaced those civilizations with nothing. The poor backwaters of Europe first halted Islamic imperialism and then produced a flourishing of science, enterprise, art, and government that left the once great lands in Egypt and Iraq and Iran as exporters of only oil and terrorism.
So embittered young Moslems murder innocents throughout the West because that is the only argument they can make. The logical response, adopting the superior values of the Judeo-Christian West, chokes on this incoherent rage. This explains the irrational hatred of Israel and the persecution of Christian minorities in the region: Israel works, just as Christian Lebanon once worked (when it was Christian), and this is an intolerable affront to militant Moslems.
The flow of illegal immigration into the United States from Latin America is often made by families desperate to find a better life – and we can sympathize with them, even though that sympathy cannot descend into allowing violation of our immigration laws. There is a separate thread, however, of Hispanics who wish to blame the misery of their homelands on the prosperity and safety of America.
The obvious cure for the failure of Latin America is for the citizens of these lands to insist upon the rule of law, honest law enforcement and judges, and limited government. The term "banana republic" was coined to describe the drearily predictable morass of revolution and military rule or corrupt government that inevitably descends into the breakdown of ordered liberty.

We are importing corruption.
The elite don’t have to live next to or drive through the barrio. While the barrio is certainly safer than any inner city, it is a start down the slippery slope to bifurcated society, rich and poor. I live out in the countryside so while I might end up poor at least I will have a bit of protection around me.
I’m moving to the country as soon as possible.
The town I live in is unrecognizable already.
Going to Walmart seems like a visit to the U.N.
I thought this was a thread about Unruh.
I think this line of thinking is certainly one of the core concepts of Islamic rage.
While their nations were among the very first known civilizations and produced amazing architectural wonders such as the pyramids PRE-Islam...
It was all Judeo-Christianity could do to fend off Islam once it metastasized into the purely evil and bloodthirsty cult it is today.
Meanwhile, every nation on earth progressed into the industrial revolution and advanced science and technology far far into the future from say 1750. No doubt, “western” nations used plenty of that advanced technology to produce fearsome weapons and to carry out horrific wars. But they also used tech to improve the human condition. One wonders if Muslim nations would even have flush toilets (those that do) if they didn’t copy them from the West.
Today, Islam is stuck in its proto-medieval state of human misery and has not come up with anything other than multiple horrific means of subjugating people as its contribution to humanity.
Who would miss Islam if it disappeared?
We lived in the country for 16 years, I didn’t feel particularity safe. We lived in sight of a major highway and about 10 miles from a prison farm. We had several incidents with people who didn’t have our best interest in mind.
Be sure to have several outside dogs to warn you of strangers .
If the Mideast countries could not export oil, they would export nothing.
It was Eastern Europeans who fought and suffered greatly so the Western Europeans could flourish. Slavs have always paid a high price for the freedom of Western Europeans.
Islam has done NOTHING to better humanity. Quite the opposite.
Yes, there also a separate thread for Americans who a sick of taking the blame for corrupt South Americans who are enamored by strong authority figures who ALWAYS rip them off. Here's a flash: Socialism doesn't work... and 'elites' tend to take care of themselves NOT 'the people...'
I sure hope we get the chance to find out!
The simplest solution is still the best - that islam is a satanic cult that hates everything of the real God.
