I dont think this is the way we can defeat Islamic radicals.

In this case the police were lucky. In Van Gogh’s case they were not. In all such cases the damage to our society has already been done, as other authors and publishers have already been dhimmified. The West cannot survive as a concept or idea, if writers are terrified to express their views.

The only answer and way to defeat Islam is to stop the Jihad from progressing in the West. And that means to acknowledge that a totalitarian ideology such as Islam and an open society, cannot live in peace at the same time and place. Even an open society has to recognise that there are exceptions to tolerance of all.

Muslims and Islam have thus to be separated from the West. Or else we are looking at a civil war in Europe that will make WWII or Bosnia look mild by comparison.

I hate to write this, but that unfortunately, is the only humane option left if we wish to retain our open and tolerant society.
