For 1400 years. Islamic political efforts have advanced only at the point of a sword..now it is by infinitely more sophisticated means..yet they all have a sword, still, and they use it to intimidate as has been the practice all this time. It is presumptuous, ignorant and suicidal to ignore the record of history, and claim, as liberal democracies do that Islam has to negotiate with them, be bought off, or partnered with. Corporate globalism, which now drives the West thru secular means, has no tools to combat dogma, and they think logic will prevail. Islam does not recognize Western logic. They call for submission by one means or another. In history, freedom from Islam has always been achieved by better use of arms than Islam...it is so today. An unwillingness to confront them on their own historical terms is an astonishing example of historically significant stupidity and ignorance. Europeans have stopped Islamic expansion and domination before only by the sword...the Mongols saved Europe when they moved against Islam on their own initiative. Our Western entanglements with Islam leave us almost indefensible now...I hope a turnaround occurs soon. A good start would be to rid the West of its Islamic teaching institutions, which are the fastest growing political institutions in the West under the guise of being ‘religious’. We need to rid ourselves of them in order to regain our focus of who the enemy is...without focus, fighting and effective resistance are unlikely.
Yes, the sword mentality is very basic in their cult-ure, when I hear to term logic I just keep seeing images in the way HOW they murder [lynching, beheadings, cutting off bodyparts, etc.] , yet libs. are either naiive or too worried what... ‘if the right is really... right’ on the expense of vital safety & security for all.
