Freedom From Offense

We are sowing the seeds for the kind of chaotic society that will ultimately breed dictatorship and fascism. These movements are not the result of a sudden wish to be "led" and "dominated" by a "manly" leader, with "cojones". Rather they are born out of desparation, out of feelings of precariousness and insecurity, and in many cases anger at a perceived "assault" on the values of the prevailing majority of people. The National Socialists rose to power in Germany after nearly a decade of social strife and running street gun battles.

Unfortunately for agressive, militant Islam, they will u;timately be the victims of their own success at destroying the fabric of the Western social order. What replaces Western liberal democracy (in a weakened Western state of your choice) will not be Islamic theocracy but in fact some form of fascism. And the victims of the new fascism will be, .... Muslims. The imams would be well to remember it was not that long ago that Germany murdered some 3 000 000 of her own people on the flimsiest of conspiracy theories coupled with an extreme persecution complex. I humbly suggest that the very visual burning and raping going on in West European cities needs no propaganda machine to "hype up". As Mr Steyn has said before, when it comes to Europe, bet on form. Google "Vlaams Belang" and what is going on in Belgium right now. The future has arrived, once again.
