With fatal terrorist attacks on the decline worldwide and al Qaeda apparently in disarray, it would seem a time for optimism in the global war on terrorism. But the war has simply shifted to a different arena. Islamists, or those who believe that Islam is a political and religious system that must dominate all others, are focusing less on the military and more on the ideological. It turns out that Western liberal democracies can be subverted without firing a shot. ..

In this piece, Michael Reagan names the problem and asks the right question. But as with everyone else, with the exception of VFR, VDare, American Renaissance, and maybe a few others, not a word about the obvious solution for the West.
One specific bit of reportage from Reagan (if I understand him correctly) that I have not seen elsewhere: the cop who stopped these Christian evangelists in England is a Moslem. I assume that is what Reagan means when he calls him a "Muslim community support police officer." So, in England, that once-sceptered and once-Christian isle, not only are the natives compelled to truckle to invading aliens, the traitorous British establishment has deputized invading aliens to make them truckle! (I know the evangelists in question are Americans long resident in England while the "MCSPO" in question may have been born there, but that hardly changes the point.)
Now I want to share two of the most outrageous statements from the Muslims on websites I came across, although the links to the articles may no longer exist.The first, taken from website Islam-qa.com relates to a response to a question - “Question #21961: The wisdom behind
Jihad” Which says the following:
The kuffaar whom we fight will themselves benefit from jihad. We strive against them and fight them so that they will enter the religion of Allaah which is acceptable to Him, which will lead to their salvation in this world and in the Hereafter. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

Public school students at Friendswood Junior High in the Houston area have been roped into Islamic training by representatives from the Council on American-Islamic Relations during class time, prompting religious leaders to protest over Principal Robin Lowe's actions.
Pastor Dave Welch, spokesman for the Houston Area Pastor Council, confirmed the indoctrination had taken place and called it "unacceptable."
There’s an anniversary this week we might do well to recall. On May 29, 1453 – just 555 short years ago -- troops led by Mehmed II broke through the walls of the ancient Christian capital of Constantinople.
Mehmed the Conqueror – as he would be known from that day forward -- rode triumphantly into the city on a white horse. Soon, churches would be converted into mosques. Constantinople would become Istanbul.
“For the West this was a dark moment,” writes historian Efraim Karsh in his masterful book, Islamic Imperialism. “For Islam it was a cause for celebration. For nearly a millennium Constantinople had been the foremost barrier – physically and ideologically – to Islam’s sustained drive for world conquest and the object of desire of numerous Muslim rulers.”
The Iranians have arrested dozens of Christians this year, ten in one city in the past several months. Their crime? Leaving Islam. No, I'm not kidding.
As if putting people in jail for this "crime" wasn't enough, the regime has recently decided that the hadith attributed to Muhammed on "changing one's deen" is authentic. Which means apostates now face the death penalty in the Islamic Republic. Really.
Which is why political Islam, even when it rejects terrorism, is still dangerous. Dangerous to freedom, liberty, and all those values cherished by the Western world since the Enlightenment.

To virtually all of us in the West, even to those at very high levels in our government who are charged with the responsibility of knowing, Islam is poorly known and therefore not understood. It is our contention that, until we fully understand Islam, we will not be able to address it properly.
To begin our understanding, we should know that Islam is much more than a religion; it is a doctrine of law that governs all areas of life, and there exists within Islam no Western concept of the separation of church and state. Islam believes in the integration of mosque and state while the West believes in the separation of church and state. Therefore, the form of government under which many Muslims live is a theocracy...far from a democracy, which is the form of government under which we thrive in the West.
The first encounter with Muslim traders disrupted Aboriginal ‘balance’, left evil in their world and a belief that they were ‘black’ and would be forever impoverished and dominated. eg:
“In the here and now, there will always be strife, poverty and domination by Others. This, I suggest, is a previously unrecorded legacy of contact between Aborigines and Indonesians.” Australian Folklore 11, 1996 131)
(See Part 1)
Why would Aborigines convert to an ideology that was so disruptive and destroyed their self-respect and sense of control? Because they don’t know the truth about this Arab supremist ideology that has destroyed cultures the world over! Islam plays on any sense of alienation or anger, that’s why it’s so good at recruiting from jails! The negative impact of Islam both on Aboriginal culture and throughout the world is hidden.
Since the War on Terror began, American college campuses have been increasingly under the influence of radical leftists allied with Wahhabist Saudi, PLO and other overseas governments that help finance the international terrorist network or act as its cheerleaders. This influence is decidedly anti-US and anti-Israel.
This steady stream of anti-US and anti-Israel propaganda on the campuses, contrary to leading to peaceful settlements in the Middle East, are only serving to roil the conflicts in that region and creating divisions at home among future generations of Americans, while draining the American people of their resources both by causing increases in taxes as the war roils on, and by undermining domestic security at our own universities (for example, Title VI money from the US Education Act intended to teach Arabic to aid in the war effort gets diverted to classes that in essence support the Iraqi “resistance” or Hamas).
