I don’t know whether I’ve said it here before or not, but I have said elsewhere that we will never get a handle on defeating Islam until we first defeat the Left. That’s even more glaringly obvious in Europe than it is in the U.S.

And I think that defeating and marginalizing the Left is necessary, not a “negotiated truce”. They must be driven out of power and influence. It must be done either peaceably or not. Right now it looks to me like it’s going to be “not”.

Leftism is a more clear and present danger to my liberty than Islam. It sounds like you said that leftism is the source of Western self-hatred, in which case I agree. Once we can get past that, Islam will no longer be a serious threat to us. It wasn’t during the time when the West was self-confident, through the 20th Century up till the 60s or 70s.
