Submission.<\/strong> That\u2019s what the word \u201cIslam\u201d means. Muslims must submit to Allah, and the rest of the world must eventually submit to Islam. Submission does not necessarily require conversion, but it does require that one acknowledge the superiority of Islam, pay the jizya tax, and, in general, keep one\u2019s head down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Europe is currently in the process of submitting to Islam, and America also seems destined to eventually submit. If you have young children or grandchildren, it\u2019s likely that they will have to adapt at some point to living in a Muslim-dominated society. It won\u2019t necessarily be a Muslim-majority society because, as history testifies, Muslims don\u2019t need a majority in order to successfully take control of non-Muslim societies.<\/span><\/p>\n

[. . .]<\/span><\/p>\n

A culture war can only be fought by cultural institutions\u2014schools, churches, political and civic organizations, and so on. As things stand, however, none of our cultural institutions have shown much evidence that they are equipped to fight a culture war with cultural jihadists. The chief reason this is so is that most of these institutions are still fighting the last culture war\u2014the civil rights struggle and the concomitant war against intolerance, racism, and bigotry. This \u201cold-war\u201d mentality makes it nearly impossible for our cultural and civic leaders to resist Islamization. Because so many Americans still live mentally in a time when intolerance was considered the greatest evil, they have difficulty understanding that an indiscriminate tolerance can father just as many sins.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One way of grasping the vulnerability of our society to Islamization is to ask \u201cWho\u2019s going to stop it?\u201d Where, exactly, are the forces of resistance?<\/span><\/p>\n

The university? American universities are bastions of political correctness and mandatory tolerance. Most of them are already quite sympathetic to the Islamic point of view. A combination of intimidation (from both Muslim and leftist groups), Saudi money, and multicultural ideology has ensured that when push comes to shove, the universities will line up with the Islamist camp. If present trends continue, American universities will fold to Islam just as German universities once folded to the Nazis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The media? The media is still trying to find a motive for the 9-11 attack. That\u2019s because it still won\u2019t make the connection between Islamic terror and Islamic belief. In general, media people see it as their duty to put the best possible face on all things Islamic. Scratch the media as a source of resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Church? As with college administrators, many Church leaders are deeply mired in multicultural ideology.<\/strong> They are constantly on the lookout for offenses against the \u201cother.\u201d Accordingly, American bishops seem to think that \u201cIslamophobia\u201d poses a grave threat to society. Many of them seem more concerned about anti-Muslim bigotry than about the victims of Islamic terror. To prove that they themselves are not \u201cIslamophobes,\u201d the USCCB operates one of the largest programs for resettling refugees from Muslim countries into the U.S. Besides facilitating Muslim migration, American, as well as European bishops, have facilitated the migration of Islamic beliefs. On numerous occasions, prominent clergy have pronounced these beliefs to be benign and peaceful, and thus deserving of a warm welcome. In general, Church leaders see themselves as friends and protectors of Islam. Given their current mindset, the bishops are unlikely to recognize an Islamic cultural putsch, let alone resist it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Big Business? Corporations also qualify as cultural institutions. Much of our understanding of what is culturally acceptable and unacceptable is picked up in the workplace. This can be a good thing and often was in the past. Unfortunately, many corporations now reflect and magnify some of the worst cultural trends: arbitrary speech codes, draconian diversity policies, transgenderism, and the like. Currently, several large corporations are using their leverage to suppress speech that is critical of Islam. Giant companies such as PayPal, Google, Facebook, and Twitter are actively trying to shut down websites and individuals that provide accurate information about Islamic cultural jihad. The media monopolies are playing the role that the Ministry of Truth played in Orwell\u2019s 1984<\/em>. All the really useful information about Islam that has been painfully accumulated in recent years is being quietly dropped down the memory hole.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Why are the counter-jihad sites being shut down? Because they supposedly are \u201cintolerant\u201d and \u201cracist.\u201d Here we come back to the \u201cold-war\u201d mentality. The corporations, the schools, the churches, and the media are ready to do battle with racists, sexists, homophobes, Islamophobes, and transgenderphobes, but they lack the mindset that would allow them to resist the long march through the institutions being conducted by determined and skillful cultural jihadists. In short, their energies are focused on evils that have long been in retreat or on non-existent evils (transgenderphobia, etc.). Meanwhile, the much larger threat posed by Islam draws ever closer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The people who might be expected to fight this new culture war are scarcely aware of its existence. They are too busy championing the cause of newly invented \u201ccivil rights.\u201d Fifty years ago they would have been on the cutting edge, now they are on the edge of irrelevancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nowadays, the cutting edge is elsewhere. And when the \u201ccutting-edge\u201d cultural and business elites meet the cutting-edge of Islamization, they will almost inevitably submit to it. That is what they have already begun to do. And as the culture war with Islam heats up, the submission process will only accelerate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

"Cutting edge" is right. It's a good bet that the leftist enablers of Islam will be the first of the infidels to have their throats cut. They will learn the hard way, too late.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
