In Bangladesh and Bosnia, it's put indigenous localized Islams out of business and imposed a one-size-fits-all Wahhab-Mart version cooked up by some guy at head office in Riyadh. One way to reverse its gains would be with a kind of antitrust approach designed to restore all the less threatening mom 'n' pop Islams run out of town by the Saudis' Burqa King version of globalization.

Narg.

This resurgent Islam -- promoted by a malign alliance between Europe and the Saudis -- is a much better example of globalization than McDonald's.

Those who complain that free trade pacts are a globalization scheme should take note that only Communism and Islamism demand world domination. Deocraies and those who practice free enterprise/capitalism are blamed by the Communist for seeking domination just as they blame the conservative Republicans for all the sins they, the left, commit. It is the Big Lie and projection rolled into one.

Steyn Makes a very astute linkage to "globalization" and puts it in terms that western pinhead trust fund liberals can understand.

There's one little throw-away nugget in there that deserves some emphasis:

This resurgent Islam -- promoted by a malign alliance between Europe and the Saudis

Let's not fool ourselves. The term "Eurabia" was first conceived of by the French. Ever since de Gaulle they have been working to ally themselves with the Arabs in a coalition directed against the United States.

France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Russia, and China all consider themselves allies of the Muslim terrorists, as well as the bureaucrats of the European Union. They aren't just weak. They are allied against us, working closely with the Muslims.

Germany too, although I believe they are a bit less committed. But they have close economic ties with the Arab countries and delight in selling them high-tech goods.

You just know that this paragraph was absolutely effortless for Steyn. If he went over it more than once it would surprise me.

I'm so jealous.

It's unfair. What's left for the rest of us to say, except, "Hi!"?

Once upon a time we used to understand this.

True of so many things. We also used to understand that an act of war required a violent response. But no, now they sue us over it. Why can't more people read - and believe - Mark Steyn?

The Swedes were neutral in both World Wars. I fear the descendants of Gustavus Adolphus have lost the ability to discern evil, and have quite possibly lost the will to survive as a people.

<< Funny thing is they make such "solid dependable cars ....." >>

Funny indeed.

For, like all Fords, they finally are somewhat solid and dependable.

And reliable.

For, despite that generations of idiot savants fell for the falacy that Volvos, particularly, were any good and were willing to pay the 60+% of the price of every one of them that spiralled into the black hole of Swedish fasciSSocialism, Volvo went the way of every manufacturer of bad products.

And is now owned by Ford Motor Company.

<< Europe is finished.

The Swedes also annnounced this week they will not participate in a NATO exercise because the Israelis are participating too. >>

Some things never change.

Bastards fell over themselves to hop in bed with Hitler, too.

Thanks for the ping, Pokes.

THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!

I hope this government falls also, so that everone will be able to arm them selves against the Islamic terrorist coming soon to America.

The idea of having to tolerate these terrorist why they kill Jews and Christians, will not be acceptable. But that exactly what this government will insist upon.

Note the focus on Wahhabism. See Bernard Lewis, "The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror", Chapter 8 - The Marriage of Saudi Power and Wahhabi Teaching.

The thought could bear some expansion: The enemy of civilization is radical Islam in alliance with the Western left.

Whether it's in Europe or in America, the left is clearly capable of selling out Western civilization.
