American culture is pretty tough as the other poster stated; however, that is no excuse for not making sure it remains tough.

As history has shown, freedom is a rare and fragile thing. It takes serious and sustained effort to keep it. And that's not the kind of mind that our educational system is producing these days. Eternal vigilance and all that.
As I've said before - you can't keep what you don't understand, and you can't defend what you can't define. Most outcome-based education kids don't even know where they are, much less have a clue about what freedom is really all about.

The bottom line is, world conversion to Islam would be regression in human civilization. I don't really think God wants that and when He deems it to be time He will see to it that the West prevails.
I understand that the other side believes the same thing so we have to choose - you can believe that a culture that hates its enemies more than it loves its own children is superior or that we are.
