Steven M. Warshawsky reviews Mark Steyn’s new book, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. Read the full review here.
Mr. Warshawsky emphasizes the conclusion that the Muslim antipathy toward all non-Muslim societies, coupled with their high birth rates, necessitates immigration restrictions. Otherwise we will be conquered from within.
Given the “tolerance” preached here and in Europe by liberals, the outlook is bleak for Western civilization, the foundation of which was the Judeo-Christian tradition embodied in Christianity.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, the glue that kept its remnants together and shaped the distinctive elements of Western culture was the Roman Catholic Church. The Church was the sole unifying force in Europe, the preserver of literature, education, music, and the sole provider of health and charity services. Through its continual pressure on early barons, earls, and kings, the church infused Western society with the concepts of law and justice, based on natural law, that were projected in our Declaration of Independence.
Present-day liberalism-socialism-progressivism is a secular heresy akin to the gnostic heresies of the early church period beginning in the first century AD. Because its atheistic materialism is hostile to the Judeo-Christian spiritual faith in God, the multi-culturalism of liberal-socialist-progressives is sympathetic to all other cultures, including Islam. Ironically, the liberals will be among the most severely persecuted by the victorious Muslims, more so than Christians and Jews, whom the Muslims regard as “people of the Book.”
Don’t be lulled into complacency by liberal internationalists of the Jimmy Carter and John Kerry stripe, who naively expect that pulling back from military confrontation in the Middle East will permit us to go our way unmolested. Because the Koran instructs Muslim believers to invade, conquer, pillage, and subjugate all societies that are not Muslims, Muslim jihad inescapably means the end of the entirety of Western civilization if we do not stop jihad by whatever means may be necessary.
Diplomacy is not a realistic option. Unfortunately, because Muslim jihadists believe death in combat is the quick route to their paradise, they love death and are anxious to sacrifice themselves in 9/11-style attacks, which means that we will ultimately have to help them into paradise in large enough numbers to force a cessation of military aggression.
