National Review Online ^ | September 27, 2001 | Paul Johnson

Boy, the truth sure can be scary ...

[CatoRenasci]

Johnson is a very important writer and thinker. He is hinting at a hard truth: we may really have to fight Islam after all, because it is intent of destroying civilization as we understand it.

BTTTT!

[CatoRenasci]

BTTTTT

[Tallmadge]

Johnson is one of the more honest historians of recent times.( though I don't agree with _everything_ he writes )

His "A history of the American People" is a one volume read , and "Modern Times" well worth a browse as well.

FYI

Very ImportantArticle. Many of us will have to look at history to understand how this war of cultures has been waged to understand where it will go. We must also decide if we want to be dependent on a culture that is out to destroy us. This cast the Energy plan in a whole new life. Our money in the form of oil imports funds the folks who want to destroy us. Not Good.

Bump for Johnson

Nasty as they may taste, certain medicines are necessary. Back when the Soviet Union was still very much an operational entity, my history/government teacher dad told those who would listen that the real battle was not going to be with the Soviets, but with Islam. As in so much else, he had more of a clue than I realized.

"It is better in the long run for America to act without many allies, or even alone."

This is the macro level. It is also true at the micro level, and we will be damaged and hurt by our knee-jerk attempts at "federalizing" a big saftey blanket -- for it shows that we are presuming too much of somebody else, and not each and every one of us, standing up to be what we must.

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

If it can't be fixed ... get a bigger hammer.

The good thing is that all three 900 pound gorillas are lining up against Islam - U.S., Russia, China. The more I read, the more I think that only a "crusade" will force these idiots out of barbarism and Middle Ages-thinking. Ending that must be the ultimate goal.

[goldstategop]

Bringing them into Western civilization ought to be the objective. They don't have to give up G-d, but they do have have their medieval beliefs reformed completely and yes by force if necessary. If that no longer makes Islam Islam, so be it. Better that than witness the world destroyed by wild eyed fanatics who can't coexist with any one who thinks differently from them. And our objective is nothing we have to be ashamed of or apologize for. To the superiority of Western civilization!!!

Muslim Population Statistics

Please note how this religion of "peace" views the aging population.

[packrat01]

non-Moslems are given the choice of conversion or death.

A religion of Peace. Uh-huh.
