It has already been 1,400 years of aggression by “Dar al Islam” against the “infidel” world. The Crusades were a defensive action, which unfortunately failed. I wonder what Charles Martel would say if he were alive today? Of course, we could add Cyrus to that and see him weep at what Persia has become.

Bottom line is Islam needs to change and stop this “Dar Islam” vs “Dar Hab” mentality or they will force perpetual warfare as they have since their first armed expansions in the late 7th Century

The problem is I see no evidence that their culture is changing. We may be in for a long long haul of fighting this kind of extremism.

Sometimes, and this isn’t unique to Muslims, it seems like first generation immigrants who fled their countries because of persecutions by the government/situation in their native countries, appreciate the freedoms they enjoy in their new country (not always, of course). But the succeeding generations seem to revert back, romanticizing their roots. I suspect that some Muslim youths who perceive themselves persecuted for their religious/cultural affiliation, are ripe for al-Qaeda and Islamist propaganda and recruitment efforts that embraces them. Rebellious by nature, young people are often in search for identity, acceptance, and sometimes a need to be on an idealistic “crusade” against feelings of oppression from the establishment.

Islam is being more than accomodated in all aspects of Western nations from college footbaths to Islamic “studies” in public schools. What we are seeing is not just the succeeding generations reverting, but the initial generation bringing these roots with them and imposing them in a colonization sort of way. I can cite city after city in the USA where this is happening (Dearborn, Mi and Minniapolis to name two). I can also cite cities in Europe where it is happening and have in previous posts.

The Telegraph’s article at the end goes into more detail on Madrasses being set-up in the West to forment these Islamic Holy War “crusades”.

I really dislike the politically correct term “Asian” when describing acts by militant Islamics. It deflects from the culture of fundemental Islam. The Japanese, Koreans, and non-Muslim “Asians” left honor killings long ago though China’s female infanticide could be argued as a ‘honor killing’. Pakistanis, Indians, Afghans, etc are not Asian. But the reality of fundamentalist Islam is covered up by the fantasies of political correctness and multiculturalism.

I’m not so sure that this is so much “political correctness”, as “cultural” in the British use of the term “Asian” in describing those from not only the far east, but also from Pakistan, India, etc.

And that is the truly scary aspect: The second, third, and fourth generations of Islamic immigrants are not only refusing to assimilate into their new cultures, but reverting to fundamentalist Islam and forcing it onto their new culture.
