Yesterday Walt told you about a report recommending the disestablishment of the Anglican Church in England and Wales. The headline Ed. wrote -- ahem! -- was "Islamization of UK complete, England to disestablish Anglican Church?" The rationale for the proposition was that the reality of modern-day Britain needs to be recognized. The reality is not that Islam is strong, and has overthrown a "Christian" nation, but that Christianity (represented by the established church) and Christian values are weak, and has been supplanted by secularism, fundamentalist Christianity, and (to be sure) Islam.
My posts on the clash of civilizations should not be misinterpreted as war propaganda. I am all for defending North America and Europe, by force of arms if necessary, from the Muslim invaders. And I agree with the Donald that there should be no more Muslim immigrants -- not any!
However, I am totally opposed to making war on the Islamic terrorists in their own land. I have written dozens in which I argue that "the coalition of the willing" has no business in the Middle East and Africa. [What about the oil business? Ed.] I believe that all the trouble in those reasons stemmed from the misguided and demonstrably failed foreign policy of the Paranoid States of America, beginning with Bush I's First Gulf War.
Instead of invading the sandpit, and raining death from the skies on 1000 innocent civilians for every jihadist, we should be defending our homelands by stopping the immigration of aliens who cannot and will not assimilate. Leave the Islamic extremists to fight their own Muslim civil war. Our task should be to rebuild our own economy and society.
Here's a new video from Ron Paul, making the same point more eloquently.
