However, it is also worth noting that here in America, the agenda of the Christian Right seems eerily parallel with the Muslims- that secular culture is bad (Didn’t Bill O’Reilly coin “Secular-Progressive” as an epithet?), that individual liberties are suspect (e.g., homosexuality and feminism) and that the wall of separation should be erased.
(For a look at what Christianist Sharia looks like, check out this painting via Andrew Sullivan: http://www.mcnaughtonart.com/artwork/view_zoom/?artpiece_id=353 )

If we say that secularism is worth defending, we should probably behave as if it were. Otherwise it just becomes a battle of “Christianist Sharia is good, Muslim Sharia is bad”.

This is Frums biggest gripe, not that those people are wrong, but that they arent polite enough to be acceptable on the New England Elite Snob Circuit. Defending truth is more difficult when truth is raw and visceral. When its couched in the passive voice and has a better pedigree behind it, then its defendable on the dinner circuit.

Oh, the maps will still have squggly lines that read “Spain” or “France” but in reality they will be Espanidan and Frankistan. Obama is cow-towing to a Europe that NO LONGER EXISTS! By 2015 half the Russian Army will be Muslim! 20% of France will be. In lOndon more Londoners (people who live in London, not to be confused with “British”) go to Mosque than Church every weekend now.

As Steyn put it (again, not sure why Frum feels this book that re-invents the wheel is so earth-shattering or even novel) the Muslims that Europe imports are the children that the Europeans — who suffering from the self-absorbed and ompotent ennui that only the faux Utopia of secularist cradle-to-grave socialism can induce–never bothered to have. It is as if one day the people in Massachussettes colony one day looked up and discovered that though the people 50 and older are named Smith, Jones, Standish, Miller, etc., all the children and young adults are named Mohammed and Ahmed!

It is not multiculturalism. It is BI-Culturalism. Ask Bosnia, Rwanda, Northern Ireleand, etc how it works out when two distinct cultures, beliefs, etc. vie for the same territory to which they both have a claim.

Good luck Europe. In 50 years, as Steyn already said, America will be standing alone.

Even the upperclasses with lots more to lose (as this fellow will) are now starting to speak out. The New Left zeitgeist is going to be smashed, and Conservatism, especially Social Conservatism will be on the ascendance in the West.

Institutions will be retaken by the concerted effort and those mouthing vapid Leftwing tropes will be disempowered….or have to move to Third and Second World cesspools to attack Western Civilization from their allies homelands.

Euroep is what happens when you take God away. You are left with a spiritual void that the Islamonuts are now filling. And it isn’t your grandfathers “peaceful” Islam. Rather it is hardcore Wahabiist insanity, fueld by Saudi Arabia whose chief export is radical Islam…not oil. Oil just pays for the former.

Europe is dead. Gone. It’s decline is unrecoverable, and its welfare state (that Obama wishes to emulate!) is unsustainable.

The most common newborn boy’s name in Belgium now? Mohammed.

What’s different about reaching out to the Muslims is that their interest is transnational rather than local. The Brits will try to offer jobs, better housing, etc. And what they hear from the Muslims is “But what we really want the British government to do is change its policy on Israel.”

The Jewish community has that particular transnationalist interest too. The difference is that Jews don’t periodically riot, burning cars and smashing storefront windows.

But anyway, that’s not our problem. For most of my lifetime, the Europeans have looked down their noses at my country. I will shed no tears at Europe’s difficulties with immigration or anything else. It’s about time this continent of spoiled, effete, pacifistic, pseudo-intellectuals, who existed for years sucking at either the American teat or the Soviet teat, finally got a taste of the real world–and had to make its own decisions for a change.

In other words, SCREW THEM.
