David Warren:

...This beggars the mind. The West is apologizing for what? And to whom?

Were we crazy to start, or has our bedwetting fear of Muslim fanatics deprived us of our judgment?

The more we apologize, the more we appease, the larger the demands will get. Yet we have not one prominent politician in the West, able to stand before the OIC and say, “How dare you!”

Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

The medieval muslim world is colliding with the reality of modern life and, instead of facing facts, they demand that we suspend reality for them. And what is amazing is that some non-muslims are actually trying to do just that.

Earth to muslims (and their apologists)...it ain't gonna work.

We used to think that the west and islam were incompatible. Then we realized that modernity and islam were incompatible.

Now we see that reality and islam are incompatible.

I think of it like this:

If you tell your wife she looks fat in those pants, you're stupid and you should apologize.

If she gets mad, and beats you over the head with a sledge hammer because of your comment-- that's not your problem; it's hers. It's indicative of a pre-existing mental problem that just happened to be set off by your stupid comment.

You shouldn't be evaluated, poked, prodded, and studied to determine what caused your inexcusable comment; she should be committed to the nearest asylum for her inability to control her actions, and the disproportionate response.

It's this simple: we're not crazy-- they are. They're the ones with the problem, not us.

The more we apologize, the more we appease, the larger the demands will get. Yet we have not one prominent politician in the West, able to stand before the OIC and say, “How dare you!”

Where are the politicians who are looking out for the survival of the United States and the AMERICANS who live here?

THERE AREN'T ANY!

I think it is very clear that, we the people, have to look out for and protect ourselves!

Protect the second amendment at ALL costs. Make sure to be armed and know HOW to use your weapons.

The ENEMEDIA has already willingly given up their right to the freedom of speech. I NEVER thought I would see the day that they would voluntarily do that.

But then again, we shouldn't be surprised... after all... they are nothing but hypocrites and...

COWARDS!

How dare they appease this ideology whose sole objective is to destroy our Country!

“The OIC member states expect from the European Union to identify Islamophobia as a dangerous phenomenon and to observe and combat it"

There, that's better even if its wishful thinking.
