He's correct about our aversion to ideological confrontation. Unless we overcome it, and take Islam at its word that it intends to convert, subjugate, or kill every last one of us, we'll simply continue to drift toward that precise end. The journey will be powered by demographic forces none of us in the comfortable West can overcome.
