A view of the culture war

Here's a quote from the incomparable Mark Steyn, regarding the Pew poll which assures us that only 26% of young Muslim men in the US think suicide bombing is justifiable:

"Judging from the media coverage, America is as anxious to normalize that 26% as Sweden's Chancellor of Justice was when he closed down an investigation into the Grand Mosque of Stockholm on the grounds that calls to go forth and kill "the brothers of pigs and apes" - i.e. you know who - were part of what he called "the everyday climate in the rhetoric that surrounds this conflict". In other words, if you threaten to kill people often enough, it will be seen as part of your vibrant rich cultural tradition - and, by definition, we're all cool with that. That provides very useful cover for serious mischief makers."

Why is it that the so-called "liberals" in Western Society as a whole- and the US specifically- are so confident that we have nothing to fear from Islam? It's akin to those Europeans that felt Hitler was just some weirdo in Germany.

But it's amazing that now, 70 years on, another group can say the same things as Hitler, and we, knowing what Hitler did with the opportunity, ignore it.

Of course, they also ignore everything the Islamofascists say about other "infidels" i.e. the rest of us.

Ah well. It'll be interesting to see how things shake out when these people pull their heads out of the sand and look around.
