[The US, Israel, Australia and hopefully stronger alliances with nations like India and Japan will have to suffice for now. We must hope we can bring Russia and China on board at some point since both have their own problems with Islamic fanaticism.]

Every country on Earth has a problem with Islamic fanaticism because the Islamic fanatics are killing EVERYBODY who doesn't worship Allah properly in their view. That includes Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and all other world religions as well as atheists, and even other Muslims who are not aggressive enough in their devotion to Mohammad's example.

Those signs they're carrying saying, "SLAUGHTER THOSE WHO SLANDER ISLAM" and "ISLAM WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD" are not a joke and they've sworn to Allah on their lives to make it a reality. This is similar to the 1930s and 40s when the world watched with studied concern as the Nazis rose to power yet lacked the will to stop them until it reached the proportion of a world crisis costing tens of millions of lives.

Oh I completely agree with you. This is a problem for every nation - especially ones that border Islamic countries or have Muslim populations.

Problem is, I tend to suspect the fighting spirit of much of Western Europe is dead. As I said, secular socialism has ruined Europeans as a people. It has created politically correct, self loathing people who think only of their immediate needs.

Nations like Belgium, France, etc are just not going to be any help in the war against Islamists. The populations of these nations will make every attempt to avoid this conflict, even if it means surrendering more and more of their Western values of freedom and liberty to do so.
