Isn't it the third act of a world drama that started with the Arab conquests of the 7th-8th century ? The first attempt to enslave the civilized world was stopped at Poitiers and the gates of Constantinople (Act I) ; then it continued with Moslem Seldjuk and Osman Turks conquering the hitherto unconquered parts of Asia Minor and South Eastern Europe (Act II) ; now the final subjugation of the West is under way with imported Moslem hordes and the enraged hordes from Dar al-Islam and local traitors as the acting villains. Is it really the last act of this tragedy of how our civilization was devoured by the monster of Islam ?
