DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGHReader comment on item: How the West Could Lose Submitted by Aaron S. (United States), Dec 27, 2006 at 11:50 Although very astute, Dr. Pipes observations do not go far enough. The Islamic threat is far greater than he portrays and Western vulnerability is immense. Firstly, the definition of an Islamist is not deep enough. Not only do these Moslems believe that they must live under Sharia Law, but they also believe that everyone in the entire world must live under Sharia Law, and this totalitarian law must be extended through terrorism and violence. They intend to extend their law through fear in the inifidel who will bend to their will. A study done in the Soviet Union showed that the psychological effects of terrorism are far reaching and the human being subconsciously will bend to the will of another under the fear of their terror. In a sense, the Islamist has turned the world into an Edgar Allen Poe story resembling the Masque of Red Death, where we continue to retreat further and further away from the real threat rather than confronting it head on. Secondly, secular democracy leaves itself completely vulnerable to the subversive Trojan horse of Moslem immigration. Moslems have been studying our system of government using their student visas, etc. to come to our country and examine its weaknesses and vices. They have learned through their twenty years of coming to America that the best way to bring the country down is to bring it down on its own petard. They have understood that the universities can be bought - so they fund the universities Middle Eastern Studies departments and warp them to their will, they have learned that the senators and congressmen are nothing more than meritricious players who can be bought off; they learned that the media is a fifth column that will work in tandem with them to being everything crashing down; and that the Democratic Party is an ally that can be counted to deflect attention from their true intent - the conquest of America. In essence, the Moslem discovered a Western society that lay begging to be conquered. A society that was completely vulnerable to internal manipulation and Islamist propaganda. They knew they could always count on the media to undermine any war conducted against them. Even if they slaughter thousands of our people and destroy billions of dollars of infrastructure, they knew the media and the left wing would side with them. Why? Because for seventy years, the left wing has been brainwashed into believing in relatavism - that all cultures and societies are equal. This is one of the BIGGEST lies ever perpetrated on the American people. Once a society does not believe it has anything special to offer it is doomed. I suggest people read Allan Bloom's book, "Giants and Dwarves." The threat is much greater than Dr. Pipes portrays, because the Islamists have powerful allies working with them in our country. They work to protect their global revolution and obfuscate their true intent of global domination. Remember that Islam means "submission." So don't beleive anything any Moslems tells you about their religion, they are intent on bending all infidels to their will. That is the central tenet of the militant and horrifying "religion" of Islam. It is a religion that does not teach "love your neghbor" but control or kill your neighbor. There is no way that Islam can be integrated into any Western society. It is a religion that is anathema to everything that Western society believes in. It is a relgion that inculcates its followers in a belief of controlling and overthrowing any society they enter. That is what the Serbians were facing in Kosovo and what the West did not understand. It might have been a completely different story if the battle for Kosovo occurred after 9/11 where we woke up to the impending threat of Islam. Let us hope that we are not too late to save our society. But the first thing that must be implemented is a complete stop to all future Islamic immigration. Until that is done, we have lost this war. As long as they flood in, they continue to undermine our way of life. Make no mistake about it, we are in great peril as they continue to increase in numbers.
