EndMultiCulturalism

It has recently become acceptable to demonize an entire religion for the actions of some maniacs in their midst. I am writing about Islam. I am not an expert on this religion and as far as I am concerned, if they left everyone else alone I wouldn’t bother with them any more than I would Catholics or Hindus or any other religion.

In the last few months I have received an ever-growing number of hateful messages aimed at the Islamic world. If they were aimed at any other group there would be a huge outcry. I wonder if people who read my articles believe that because I am a Zionist and a supporter of Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state that I would automatically hate Islam. For the record my support of Israel has no bearing on my respect for Islam as a religion.

However my contempt for Islamic extremists runs deep. They are selfish bullies who follow an obscenely tunnel visioned and warped version of their religion that has no place in a democracy. They demand that everyone live in a Caliphate in which we all have to be devout Muslims or die. These are the same kind of people as those that run the terrorist group in Gaza, Hamas, who publicly state it is now legitimate to kill all Jews wherever they are, even the Jewish children. The same people as the Taliban in Afghanistan, who have stoned people to death for adultery and poured acid into the faces of young girls who dared to attend school. The same people who killed over 3,000 innocent civilians working in a couple of buildings in New York on 9/11.

Don’t ever confuse the legitimate reactions of self-defense and self -preservation with the awful acts of carnage that provoke us. The spin -doctors of extreme Islam has so confused our Western population that they now confuse the victims with the culprits. It is no longer questioned that it is legitimate to attack our values and us but improbably we constrain ourselves and limit our reactions. We must continue to do so or we will sink to the level of the gutter with our enemies who confuse our courtesy, civility and hospitality with weakness and foolishness.

Make no mistake the Islamic extremists remain dangerous and are working hard to destabilize and destroy any society which doesn’t conform to their dreams of a Caliphate and they will do anything to reach that goal.

We must not be idiotic in the way we combat such lunacy nor can we ignore the threat however unpalatable that may be to their well intentioned fellow traveling nincompoops of the liberal left who want to pretend no such threat exists. It would be easy to adopt the tactics of the Nazis to beat down this threat but that would, perversely, only encourage the militant Islamic extremists further.

Instead of our reducing ourselves to circulating hateful propaganda to match the venomous poison of this mad fringe of the Muslim world we should be doing all we can to eradicate their falsehoods. We can only do this with intelligence, wisdom and wit.

Our leaders must launch a coordinated campaign of public relations aimed to penetrate the ghettoized world the Muslim minority inhabits.

We must immediately abandon the failed experiment of multi culturalism that has contaminated our Western societies during persistent waves of immigration.

We must facilitate integration and abandon any thoughts of a separate society living within a larger society. For a start that means that students in our education system have to learn the language of their host country and there should be no attempt to cater to their mother tongues.

We must support other democracies with all we have so that we can defend ourselves in this continuing war for the survival of our civilization. Make no mistake this is a war in all but name. At the moment it is mainly a war of ideas, philosophy and words, but in many places in the world the war is already punctuated by the sound of bullets. We must wake up to this real threat and confront it without losing what we are and what we must value.
