It sounds like it was a great conference.

The problem is not so much the flaccidity of the west, as the conjunction of the west’s flaccidity with Islam’s murderous ascent to the world stage.

Waking up intellectuals, leftist university professors and graduates, and journalists in the west will be impossible on a large scale. Instead, it would be better to find ways of changing violent jihadists into more peaceful Hare Krishnas, Moonies, or polygamists cults such as the one’s that Texas and Utah law enforcement seems bent on raiding.

Failing that conversion, perhaps we could convince the cocktail party set that controls western media, education, and politics that Islamists are actually Christians dressed up in explosive belts? That would be a serious matter-militant Christians. That would have to be dealt with.
