Same ol’, same ol’.
There are two kinds of Muslims:
(1.) Unorthodox (occidentalized): Disciples more of Attaturk than Mohamed, these persons are more culturally Islamic than religiously, more casually Islamic than causally, live peaceably among Westerners, and are as worthy of respect as any working Joe, save for the worry that their teenage sons, forgoing the healthier rebellions of bad music and cheap liquor, often drift instead into category 2, described below…
(2.) Orthodox (jihadist): Following Mohammed’s lead as precisely as possible, these persons bed underage (and preferably closely-related) girls, display bloodthirsty atavism towards all living things except those who subscribe to every particular of their ideology, consider negotiating in bad faith to be an act of virtue, make mindless drones of themselves through the repetitive chanting of trite phrases from a holy book plagiarized partly from the Christian Bible and partly from Mao’s Little Red Book, and sneer ignorantly at all that is noble, beautiful, or enlightening.
The future of civil rights in Western Civilization will likely require a great deal of generous solicitude toward the Muslims in Category 1, with a watchful eye on their offspring’s periodic defections into Category 2.
However, the future of civil society in Western Civilization will require a confidently sustained effort to exclude, emasculate, or eradicate those in Category 2.
Exclusion is a matter of border security and mass deportations for incitement to religious violence: One will know that the response has been adequate when mosque buildings in the U.K. are being sold to local Baptist or Hindu congregations because there are no longer enough Jihadists in-country to fund services there.
Emasculation is a matter of financial persecution of terror-supporting or terror-exporting states; when every pipeline, pump, and tanker-harbor in Iran has been destroyed to the benefit of its petrol-exporting competitors, the resulting higher gasoline prices will be more than made up for by the gratifying reduction of the mullahs to utter impotency.
Eradication is a matter of killing jihadists in combat, lifetime solitary imprisonment for the jihadists who are captured, the destruction of all military hardware of jihad-supporting powers, and aerial bombardment, during services, on all mosques, in any nation, wherein incitements to violent jihad are documented (see the work of MEMRI and others on this topic). Ditto for such street-based incitements as Hamas funeral processions.
Had enough?
Igkick is well-named; His ignorance does deserve a kick.
But perhaps so do we all: A kick or a slap or a shaking of the shoulders, for our having no appreciation of what it would mean to “take the gloves off.”
There is not a single sincere jihadist who does not take a more violent attitude toward non-Muslims and moderate Muslims than the stance I just proposed taking toward the jihadists.
Their failure thus far to eradicate all their intended victims has been purely a matter of lacking the means. (And the exodus of non-Muslims from the U.K. to safer neighborhoods elsewhere suggests that the jihadists are more successful than we at emasculation and exclusion.)
Petrodollars, and the impossibility of preventing the dissemination of knowledge, guarantee that these demoniacs will in fact obtain the means within our lifetime to fulfill all their wildest violent fantasies.
Western Civilization’s commitment to prevent this is entirely voluntary and optional in the heart of every citizen. We all may choose to stand up and live, or lie down and die (if slowly, through a sort of demographic and cultural attrition).
Only time will tell if the Men of the West are still men. Let us hope they are; for the corsairs have come upon us during our afternoon siesta, at a low ebb of cultural confidence. Truly did the poet say: “When the barbarians arrive at the gate, we’ll open it for them, thinking it’s the guy with the pizza.”
