islam and why we're here

"...Are we trying to come up with answers here, to life's persistent questions. Is this whole Daniel Pipes clan trying to make sense of and solve the world's problems? I think there's a fat chance that we'll do that, but I do enjoy chatting with people like you...."

I think we're pointing out what we see as the obvious. And what is obvious to me might be new for you and vice versa - simply because of our different life experiences, social paradigms, access to relevant media, perception of islamic activity in our own countries etc etc. So we share what we know. And the (not so) surprising thing is that from Norway to Australia - the perception of the islamisation by stealth of our cultures that so very many Westerners have is virtually identical. It gets to a tipping point where we either are totally deluded and the people who say that muslims want to integrate, love us all and only want their religion for themselves are correct . Or - the opposite is true - that we realise the longterm effects of islamisation by stealth to our cultures - and the 'yay' sayers are themselves deluded.

There is a third option - be totally detached from the outcome and don't care one way or another as the world does what it is going to do anyway. This third option is quite sensible too, in one way. Any of us could leave tomorrow - so who cares what happens - when our main responsibility is to be happy wthin ourselves simply because we are in touch with ourselves?

But we might have longer than we think. I believe we make history every day and bad things will happen if people are not made aware of the potential losses. We do owe it to children growing up now not to leave a world that has fallen into an islamic sh*hole due to our cowardice to say what we know is right. As bad as they may be we know we have the best possible legal, educational, health and political systems . We see their results - and we see the results of islamic theocracies. Our ancestors who have struggled for countless generations would look away from us, ashamed, if we did nothing, expecting everyone else to pick up the tab..
