The influence that even a minority Muslim population can have in a democratic state can cause unthinkable damage, but Western leaders have their heads in the sand.
In 1836, fighting for the independence of Texas, a small band of Texans in San Antonio took up the defense of a Spanish mission, known as the Alamo, against the much larger army of Mexican General Santa Anna. Despite their courage, all defenders were killed, giving rise to the battle cry—”Remember the Alamo.” That battle cry served to motivate other Texans to later defeat the Mexicans.
There are times when democratic nations may face existential challenges, but no battle cry is heard, failing to even know they are in a fight for their survival.
Take Lebanon, for example. During the mid-20th century, it had a Christian 60% majority population. Under the banner of democracy, the country enjoyed economic prosperity and its capital, Beirut, was known as the “Paris of the Middle East.”
However, in the latter 20th century, things began to change as the demographics shifted. Immigration of Muslim refugees, higher Muslim birthrates, and increased Christian emigration all contributed to creating what today is a Muslim-majority country. Unfortunately, with this shift, came economic decline and chaos—conditions ripe for Iran to use the country as a breeding ground for its terrorist proxy Hezbollah. Today, Lebanon is only a shadow of its former self. While democratic institutions still exist, the country’s health as a democracy is in serious decline.
Yet, as Lebanon entered a democratic death spiral, we failed to hear any battle cry for its survival. And, as a once-majority Christian country to the Free World, it became the distant cousin of whom it eventually lost track.
Meanwhile, other countries are now becoming susceptible to the same fate as Lebanon

President Trump needs to start focusing on deporting the muslim part of the illegal invasion first.
Islam is completely incompatible with Western Civilization in general and with the U.S. Constitution in particular. It is a competing political system, totalitarian in nature, that uses religion as a beard and as a means of social control.
I don’t like the way the bass turds who brought down the WTC and attacked the Pentagon are now rapidly taking over America. The CIA, the FBI and the local yokel fuzz are totally worthless. They are after Americans, not those invading America. The people now infesting our country and taking over our government are NOT Americans. They all are people like the ho from Guatemala who puts their home countries first. They are only here to steal the big bucks.
What're we gonna do about that? Keep electing spineless, corrupt, RINO politicians to fight the good fight? They're the reason we're in this mess in the first place.
Well put.
Also a cult as religions go: you may not have any friends outside the in-group. You are encouraged to lie to the out-group. Religious instructions on sex, sexual license for the in-group, especially the founder, and for certain loyal behaviors (slave infidels). Out-group are not entitled to anything, in effect they are not human beings.
BTTT
Islam tells its disciples to invade and conquer the world and create a worldwide Caliphate under Sharia Law. They are also allowed to use Taqiyyan to cover up their intentions.
Yeah, it thinks it’s on a disco floor singing keep on ricking in the free world and that the world will sing too and that there will be WOKE and PRIDE marches for eternity because of the compassion, and LOVE everybody has for their virtue signaling insouciant phony manner.

I'm 77, I remember Beirut being called the "Jewel of the Middle East". But then, I remember the assassination of Bachir Gemayel. He was elected President and before he could be sworn in, he was murdered. His death in a bombing that killed 32 other people on Sept. 14, 1982.
Lebanese court issues death sentence over 1982 Gemayel assassination (Oct 20, 2017)
Lebanon's top court on Friday sentenced Habib Shartouni to death for the 1982 assassination of president-elect Bashir Gemayel, an event that was a turning point in Lebanon's 15-year civil war.
Shartouni, a member of the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party (SSNP), admitted his part in the bombing in the 1980s and was tried in absentia after escaping from prison in 1990 following eight years in detention.
One percent — like one percent of manure in a glass of milk.
The jihadi assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat also illuminated the view of many: October 6, 1981.
Yes, Sadat wanted peace, they killed him for it.
Gemayel wanted peace, was ready to make agreement with Israel.
