Where the Unholy Alliance Is Taking Us

I am reading The Myth of Islamic Tolerance, edited by Robert Spencer (Promethus Books, Amherst, NY; 2005; ISBN: 1-59102-249-5), and I have encountered many facts, outstanding thoughts, and some beautiful writing (none of the writing drops below good, so far). I started a new chapter by Bat Ye'Or, author of the new book coming out about Eurabia. The first two paragraphs absolutely grabbed me because they make past into living prologue, and they tell us what we are going to be if our intellectuals, politicians, and men-on-the-street do not wake up to the fact that we at war with Islam, not terrorism.

From chapter 6, DHIMMI PEOPLES, Oppressed Nations, pages 115 and 116:

There are peoples roaming the earth who no longer have a soul. Flight and exile have enfeebled their memories, dimmed their sight, and stifled their speech. In glancing through history textbooks, they smile in melancholy: today their nations no longer exist. Vanquished peoples,they have been rejected by history and have joined the anonymous mass of exploited peoples, who blood, tears, and sweat have helped to build the civilization of their oppressors. Thus they wander through the world, with neither roots nor memories, strangers, forgotten by time, atomized--bearing their nostalgia like a shackle.

When historians, peering into history through the conqueror's eyeglass,meet them at the turn of every century, eloquent in their gloomy silence, they deem "tolerant" the genocide that decimated these peoples, forgetting that the silence of nations is the same as that of the gulag. Some have survived,emaciated: these are the amaritans. Others resist, and when their struggle explodes into violence, the world remembers the meaning of bravery: these are the Maronites. Others fight alone in the name of independence: these are the Kurds. Others despair in exile: these are the Armenians and the Assyrian Christians. Some are resigned to their fate: these are the Copts. And others dig up, from their liberated land, the ruins of their ancient culture destroyed by the occupant: these are the Israelis. So numerous and diverse, all these nations have shared a common destiny for thirteen centuries: they have resisted to the limits of human endurance in order to survive.

This is why we must take on the enemy, Islam, and destroy it forever. It is not terrorism that is the enemy. Reread Bat Ye'or's magnificent description of overrun peoples who have been destroyed by Islam and its hoards.

It is Islam. It is Islam. It is Islam.
