We need to define Islam as an ideology (which it is) instead of a religion.
Unless we manage this, political correctness will be our downfall.
PC is ALLREADY our downfall..and we DON'T need rhetoric..we need bullets..they are fanatics..they have to be killed..
Unless we manage this, political correctness will be our downfall.
But what you suggest is precisely the PC thinking of today, which dare not confess Islam as a dangerous and territorially expansionist sect. You need to give up your delusions, here. See Islam for what it is.
As for Weyrich, he makes the obvious point. France's recent defense against Islam, and head-gear, was based not on the principles of Catholic France, but that of Napoleon and Revolution!, The Terror. The downfall of France will come if none rise to restore that religious defense against religious Islam. And it may happen, in France, and in Germany. They may yet rise to the occasion. There is prophecy suggesting just that. For the present, the French suffer their own leadership. I don't really think the heart of the French is gone.
Spain, now, is another matter. After pulling out due to the recent bombing, after appearing as if the terrorists could literally order them around, this might be a country that would surrender if somebody shouting - Allah! - walks in goes - Boo! Spain could be done as a nation. This was the country of Ferd and Isabella, setting Columbus adrift just years after they beat back the last of the major Islamic armies that threatened all of Europe, for centuries. This is obviously not that Spain.
