Dear Jennifer

I don't think all leftists are cowards (I don't like name calling, but many do fear belligerent Muslim men), but I do agree with you on everything else 100%

We've talked about Christianity before, and the reason I think it spread so successfully all over Europe so quickly were because of the conduits that the Romans opened up.

A similar effect, as you hint at, will happen with Islam, because quite honestly, liberals don't have enough (or any) children. The Western secularism that we are experiencing (and battling ideologically) will take a huge hit this century. Japan, Austrailia, Western Europe, Canada, none of these nations can keep up with the likes of the Asian Tigers, India, China, the USA, Isreal or Brazil because of the mounting population instability.

This is why, Jennifer, there is so much pandering to Islam by the left and why in some "democratic" nations Muslim men get special rights. Because these countries need the immigration to maintain their status in the world.

Leaders from the UK and Canada may advocate themselves as "middle powers," but they still want power, and to keep it, they need the Muslims.

So what if they'll take over in 50 years, erase freedom and impose sharia law? How many of those left-wingers will be alive then?

None.

That's why they don't care. As long as they can satisfy their every want and need RIGHT NOW that's all that matters. They're just a lot better than conservatives are hiding their true motives, to paraphrase Rush Limbaugh.

Are there exceptions? Sure. Will it matter? No. It didn't in Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan and it won't matter with sharia law.

Even with all their education and technology, the Islamists will win because they have the motivation and the spirit to fight on. Leftists will continue to let them do whatever they want because the Islamists know if they make enough noise, the leftists will give. They're too busy making the world a "better place" to notice in so many cases it seems.
