What I am talking about is stopping and then reversing the Islamicization of America. Here are five steps by which this can be accomplished: 1. End all mass immigration of Moslems into the United States, whether from Moslem countries or elsewhere. Moslems would only be admitted on a selective, individual basis, not on the basis of being part of a national quota, and not on the basis of having extended family members already in the U.S., as is now the case. Rather than admitting mass numbers of Moslems every year for no reason except their wish to come here, we...

I invite the reader to a thought experiment. Imagine that it is the late 1930s, and "conservative" intellectuals in Western Europe and the United States formulate an ideology which says that their countries should be open without discrimination to all people of all political persuasions. Then imagine that large numbers of immigrants of all political persuasions begin entering and settling in those countries, including many Nazi immigrants from Germany and Austria. Then imagine that the Nazi immigrants, following the Nazi ideology as laid out in Hitler's Mein Kampf, begin promoting the spread and institutionalization Nazism in their new countries, while...

Mark Steyn, who has written scores of articles and a book dealing with the Islamization of the West, without ever once discussing Islamic immigration as a cause of that problem, and without ever once proposing the reduction of such immigration (let alone its cessation or reversal) as a possible cure for the problem, has just published, in Canada's Western Standard, his very first column dealing directly with immigration. He points out that recent immigrants into Canada are not assimilating into Canada's culture but are changing it. That Steyn has said anything negative about immigration is a step forward for him;...

I posted Robert Locke’s report last October indicating that the once seriously anti-Semitic British National Party has been in the process of reforming itself, and I quoted at length a column by BNP chairman Nick Griffin last December in which he criticized anti-Semitism at length. However, I also heard that Griffin socialized with David Duke and other Nazi types at the end of the recent American Renaissance conference. Some people tried to excuse this by saying, “How can he reform these people unless he talks with them?” The excuse didn’t work with me; were we really to believe that Griffin...

Good old Time magazine, serving its usual function of normalizing and celebrating whatever trend is leading to America's ruin, has a photo essay about an Islamic K-12 school in Illinois.http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/muslimschool/index.html In the below photo the Moslem girls, dressed in full-body black coverings, play the all-American game of basketball. Isn't it wonderful, this rich, post-assimilationist mix of Islamic and American customs? Doesn't it warm your heart? Well, if your heart's fondest desire is to divide, diminish, and pull down America, and change it out of recognition from anything it's ever been, the answer is yes. But please let us not blame...

If it doesn't exist, then what? When people speak of moderate Islam as the solution to radical Islam, they mean that there is a modernizing core within the Muslim community capable of transforming it into a civilized member of the world community. They foresee that the dar al-Islam, the Realm of Islam, will cease to be at war with the dar al-Harb, the Realm of War, and particularly with that part of the Realm of War known as the West. I describe these ideas as the "ecumenist" school of Western-Islamic relations, because to believe in the existence of moderate Islam...

How to Oppose Liberal Intolerance By Lawrence Auster FrontPageMagazine.com | August 11, 2004 The double standard may well be the most characteristic feature of the leftist cultural order under which we now live. A particularly revealing instance of the double standard was the media's wall-to-wall obsession with the Abu Ghraib abuses, combined with its refusal to show the tape of the savage beheadings of innocent Americans by Islamist killers. While conservatives complain endlessly (one might even say boringly) about the double standard, however, they have signally failed to understand it. One explanation may be that today's leftists deceptively describe their...

Americans need to accept that Muslims don't hate "Crusader" America because of our vices...or our virtues. When trying to explain the Islamists' global campaign of mass murder, both liberals and conservatives, despite their fierce mutual disagreements, make the same underlying mistake. People on the anti-war left believe that Al Qaeda attacked us because we're imperialist, or because we're racist, or because we don't do enough for Third-World hunger (yes, there are people who actually believe the hunger argument; most of them are Episcopalians). By contrast, many people on the pro-war right, especially President Bush, believe that the Islamists hate us...

All thoughts of pacifying Islam by assimilating it into the global democratic system must fall down before a simple, terrible fact: Jihad—holy war against all non-Muslims—does not represent a mere excess or defect of Islam, but its timeless core. According to Muslim scholar Bassam Tibi (quoted recently at FrontPage Magazine), "Muslims are religiously obliged to disseminate the Islamic faith throughout the world.... If non-Muslims submit to conversion or subjugation, this call can be pursued peacefully. If they do not, Muslims are obliged to wage war against them." World peace, according to Islamic teaching, "is reached only with the conversion or...

Some years ago the Harvard sociologist Nathan Glazer declared that "we are all multiculturalists now." One's initial response to such an unwanted announcement is to say: "What do you mean, 'we'?" Yet, even if "we" do not subscribe to that sentiment, it cannot be denied that over the last twenty years multiculturalism has become the ruling idea of America, incarnated in every area of society ranging from educational curricula to the quasi-official establishment of foreign languages, to mandated racial proportionality schemes in private employment and university admissions, to the constant invocations by our political, business, and intellectual elites of "diversity"...

FrontPage Magazine is happy to address this debate on immigration policy and the attitudes of Jewish leaders toward this vital issue. Below, we reproduce Stephen M. Steinlight's essay from the Center for Immigration Studies, in which he argues that Jewish leaders are beginning, slowly, to change their traditional support for Open Borders. Lawrence Auster replies that modern Jewish leadership must move beyond outdated fears of now-extinguished Christian anti-Semitism to recognize the genuine threat of Islamist immigration. -- The Editors.
