Well, they will have done it to themselves, and we can sit back and enjoy. Schadenfreude
--- And if history is any indication, at some point they will look to us to fix the mess they've created. This time, I don't think Americans will be very quick to respond.

Some day the West might wake up and realize that Islam is not just a religion. It is a way or life and an idealogy more dangerous than Communism ever was

--- Absolutely correct. Communism didn't have a higher power in the mix.

One leading left-wing politician last week proposed reviving the blasphemy laws so that people like van Gogh can be shut up before they offend the Muslim minority.

Typical liberals. Yeah, that'll work!

"Multiculturalism/diversity is a our strength" is the big Liberal lie that threatens the very existence of Western Civilization like no power on earth has threatened it before.

What happens in Europe will eventually happen here if we don't head the warnings signs. Watch Europe for a window into our future.

Unlike the European immigrants that shared a like history and culture, many in the new wave immigration not only refuse to assimilate, but seek to influence and change ours, while maintaining allegiance to their old country.

They demand tolerance from the host country, while refusing to practice it themselves.

Can you imagine how many ordinary folks in the U.S. would willingly empty their gun safes, shoulder a backpack and join a militia to defend our borders? The Canucks and Mexicans wouldn't stand a chance.

"Not sure what wars between the races or religions have to do with multiculturalism?"

Read the whole article. See how a bunch of multi-culti BSers allowed a metastatic cancer to grow unnoticed throughout the body politic.

If the Dutch had any values left worth defending they wouldn't have come to this desperate pass.

"Van Gogh's was the second assassination to arise out of that culture clash. Two years ago, an openly gay politician named Pim Fortuyn was killed by a left-winger who objected to Fortuyn's aggressive attacks on Holland's high levels of Muslim immigration. Though that killing was equally shocking, many Dutch liberals avoided thinking of the implications of Fortuyn's arguments by dismissing him as a right-winger, Evans-Pritchard said."

Oh, well, if he was a right-winger then it's okay. This says a hell of a lot about liberal "tolerance".

Multiculturalism means one should critique one's own culture mercilessly while celebrating and apologizing for the cultures of "others,"

Only one certain culture should be critiqued, the rest should be given a free pass but otherwise spot on.

A great book by Lee Harris:

Civilization and its Enemies, the next stage of history.
He discusses how 9-11 changed this country forever, that we better come to the reality there are people that want to kill us.
The multiculturalism idea is part of the problem of folks not thinking clearly or wanting to face the fact that we do have enemies.

Radical Islam, however, has a concentrated economic engine in a few hundred square miles of oil fields in Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Cut that off and it withers.

Let's hope America is waking up to this multiculturalist threat. We need to return to the _real_ national motto: E Pluribus Unum.

The author of this article is the token Conservative on the Newark Star Ledger staff and someone I enjoy reading. He's not everyone's cup of tea but I thought you'd like this one.

What are you talking about? No offense, but why not speak in complete sentences and avoid the constant use of periods? We're both Americans, let's speak in unbroken English. Say what you mean, don't try to speak cryptically.

The theory of multiculturalism holds that no culture is superior to any other culture.

Isn't the above another way of saying that there is no right or wrong?

From another perspective--they may well have to implement heavy-handedness if they wish to hold fast to Western culture. For example, though the days of wooden shoes and odd white hats may be long gone in Holland, and their tulips now reminders of imports from the Ottoman Empire, still, as an example of a Western nation, the dyke has sprung a leak. With too few courageous enough to plug it, there will be Eurasia or Eurabia, but no Europe, in 20 years or less. The Vandals, Huns and Enemies are inside the gate, as they were with Rome.

"The note contained threats to kill several other Dutch political figures who had been critical of the Muslim community."

And the rest of the world and the Dems/Libs wonder why we call these people "terrorists" and need to kill them all? It's called reality, people, something with which the Dems/Libs are not familiar.

""The theory of multiculturalism holds that no culture is superior to any other culture. As long as people practice tolerance, this theory goes, different cultures can live together side by side."

And history has throughly disproved this "theory" time and time again. Were this theory true, then no culture would replace another. But as we know "superior" culture regularly replace "inferior" cultures.

Some culture are so superior, Republican and Imperial Rome for example that they tolerated other cultures as long as those cultures tolerated Roman culture. Ditto, modern USA, but no culture can tolerate a subculture that does not tolerate the ruling culture. That is the trouble with Islam, it is intolerant of other cultures. Sooner or later the issue of which culture will rule will be decided. That is the way it has always been and always will be. Islamic culture is NOT a quaint little culture like the Pennsylvania Dutch, is is not as tolerant as say Judaism. Islam teaches it's followers to subjugate or kill disbelievers. Islam is intolerant of all other cultures. Just remember that the nation of Islam was once western and Christan. Few converted to Islam willingly.
