We can't fight Islam with Westernism because modern day Westernism is somewhere between a corruption supported welfare state and hard fascism. The media and universities are pretending to provide a patina of information and free thought while they hammer away at any thinking different than themselves.<br /><br />From what I've read about the Middle Ages this is very similar to how Islam expanded and then was held and defeated. It was excellent at subverting morally weak governments but when the true freedom fighters emerged and gathered into fighting forces Islam couldn't adapt and its own corruption held it back. Those fighting forces then became governments and from there emerged a renewed and confident West. Most likely we will see the same. We won't be exporting the Democratic Party. We'll be sending over militiamen who will be the true power upon their return. It's scary but it's also quite possible the best thing in the long run.

It can only mean one thing of two things – conversion or expulsion! <br /><br />The failure of the west is a failure of clarity due to a failure of definition. This is a religious war! Religious wars are started by those who believe they have a divine mission to violently convert those they attack. These Islamists, including those living in the physical and legal comforts provided by western nations, have stated that over and over again. It’s fundamental to Islam! <br /><br />The other side has one of two options. Fight and convert (or expel) those who started the war - or give up and be converted. It would appear to me the western leaders are totally delusional and leaving their citizens at the mercy of these monsters. At some point violence is going to erupt against Muslims by the citizenry just as it did with the Myanmar Monks.

How...Great points, I don't know where to start. However, that aside, we really do know the answer to current problem with Islam. You hit on part of the answer: stay out of their religious rivalries. We have nothing to gain. The other part of the answer is well documented. There is an interesting and enlightening article in the Military History Quarterly from Autumn, 2004 about the US war with the Barbary Pirates. Just as now, any attempt to be diplomatic, including paying the bribes and ransoms only led to more demands and demeaning treatment. So, the answer is to knock the living daylights out of them and let them live in their own little paradise. Do not import their ideology and theology.<br /><br />The colonization attempts by the European powers failed in the Middle East and Africa because these are clan and tribal societies. Their religion tends to reinforce this. When a professional modern military met with the wild rabble. the result was the same: the West won. However, when the rabble disperses and goes back home, there is little to gain by trying to "defeat" them. They know where every rock is and everyone is in league.<br /><br />How do we ultimately win this contest? We certainly cannot and will not if we abandon our values, ideology and theology. The leftist moral equivalence and "diversity" leads to acceptance of what we abandoned as unacceptable and detrimental to society. Our theology and ideology trump theirs when they meet head on in the battle of ideas, which is why Islam cannot allow these to flourish. As in many areas of society, change and innovation occur at the fringes, the leading edge. In other words, we should be in contact with them, but maintain our borders and barriers just as they do. Let the converts to Western ideals and values then go back into their own and let the seeds of new thought do its work.<br /><br />This may sound far fetched, but having lived there, I can tell you there are a lot of people in those countries that would leave Islam at the drop of a hat when offered something better. But, as Bush and Obama refuse to see, you cannot go in there and make this happen. Nor can you let boatloads of these people in, let them congregate into their own closed little communities, support them with taxpayer funds, and then expect them to become one of "us."Common 'taternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-89528761329392977542015-05-22T22:10:10.570-04:002015-05-22T22:10:10.570-04:00"We don’t only need to defeat ISIS. We must d..."We don’t only need to defeat ISIS. We must defeat the culture that makes ISIS inevitable." More than that, we must endeavor to repudiate Islam altogether as an anti-life, anti-value, anti-civilization, nihilist ideology. That can be done by approaching the task as a philosophical task. We need to ask: What are the fundamental premises of Islam, aside from its theological and mythic ones? What are its existential and metaphysical ones? With which Western philosophies is Islam in agreement with -- Aristotelian or Kantian or Hegelian? The answer will govern how to approach the problem of refuting and repudiating Islam and effectively consign it to the dustbin of history. Anything less, and we are merely dealing with effects, with consequences, and not causes. True, the culture that empowers ISIS is nihilist, as well. What is that culture? That question can be answered by the same methodology.

It appears Obama (and perhaps by extension Bush) has decided that it would be better to side with the Shiite entities in the region, even at the expense of Israel. As you say, that is a bad idea. Both entities are two faces of the same Islamist coin and shouldn't be allowed more power. <br /><br />On the issue of Westernization, it's a viable and noteworthy concept with an abundance of live historical examples (countries like India, Japan and South Korea have definitely benefited from Westernization I believe). The left will almost certainly denounce it as nothing more than neocolonialism, never mind the benefits it can bestow on societies that embrace its essential pillars. They'd probably also suggest that said societies would be better off with native versions of socialism, or Islamicism for that matter since it fits nicely with their self-reliance mentality. Never mind the utter chaos such ideologies always create. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
