Compromising Principles for peace

Submitted by Darwin Barrett (United States), Dec 24, 2003 at 15:27

This problem is endemic to our current Western Civilization. Do anything to appease anyone and everyone; the Politically Correct solution. We have put our principles aside and have become fearful of offending anyone. The Islamists perceive this as a sign of weakness; a sign that an aging Western civilization is losing its strength. The young lions in the pride of civilization are empowered to attack the alpha civilization. And Attack they will, at every opportunity. They use Freedom of speech against us; they use Freedom of Religion against us; they use the liberal media against us; they use capitalism against us; they use the prison system to recruit and train; they use the military,government, legal and education system, all to infiltrate and ultimately defeat Western civilization, which is the next stop in converting, subjugating or eliminating all the infidels. It won't work, of course. If Militant Islam is sucessful in defeating Western Civilization, it will be torn assunder by its internal battles; Clan Against Clan and Sunni vs. Shiite vs. Wahabi; The world will experience slavery, Genocide, Inequal rights, revenge, and all the other wonderful qualities that has made islam what it is today.
