Coming from...agree with all of your points, Daniel. Coming from the UK, I observe almost daily the odd schizophrenia of our Muslim inhabitants. They carry Iphones in their pockets; at the same time they profess hate for the individual rights that gives power to intellectual property - a foundation of technological culture. Their use of social media created by Jews is equally ironic, while at the same time <br />they denounce Jews as corrupters and usurpers. Even their 'Free Palestine' facebook groups carry pictures of Islamic warriors carrying AK-47's - the AK-47 itself being the product of atheist Soviet society. My only hope for the future is a wildcard event. I'm particularly heartened by the development of the private spaceflight industry in the US. If private companies can build, own and operate large rockets, then perhaps its only a matter of time before a colony can be established on Mars. Perhaps the West will be forced to migrate to a new planet and the opening of a new frontier along with the freedoms that frontier engenders, will serve to reinforce and override the slow decay.

Apart from when they do enjoy iPhones and international flying. Like parasites they don't really contribute significantly to human progress but they ride on it to satisfy their little selfish hedonism. And not that having iPhones or flying easyjet makes you actually rich. As Daniel said, people are actually more poor than they used to be, in the Great Society (TM). They are indebted with banks, own very little real estate and contribute very little to sustainable production. But why would you do anything else than "service economy" when you have a PhD and you are too smart to sweat and actually do work.<br /><br />jlevyellow, I also hope that one day Muslims will change. But there are 2 big obstacles here: their annoying little book and the western left. The western left needs dhimmies. Successful, free minded, ambitious, entrepreneur minded Muslims is the worst nightmare of the left: worse than the Jews, because of their number.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-37633070105219974332011-07-29T03:02:10.747-04:002011-07-29T03:02:10.747-04:00I stood at the gate in the International Arrivals ...I stood at the gate in the International Arrivals at JFK yesterday watching everyone as I waited for friends. Muslims came as groups, but with the same hugs and kisses as everyone else. It was Europeans and Africans who seemed most likely to arrive as singles or couples. Children among the Muslims seemed as prized as among other groups. I am sure my sample was skewed, having only spent two hours there, but that was my experience.<br /><br />I believe that what I saw was people unencumbered by political motive in a moment of ordinary life. However, I also believe the observations of Sultan Knish. Where is the fulcrum, the moment of change? When do the observations of Sultan overwhelm the ordinary humanness of most people? At the moment of tension, where judgments must be made, where beliefs intervene in the need to explain events. It happens when easygoing gets challenged by conflict. <br /><br />The search for perfection is greatest among those who are most challenged by conflict. The search for perfection is the search for sameness so that life can be tension-free. When Muslims can say, "Live and let live", they will have already modified their Muslim beliefs to the point of inner peace in diversity. It will happen. We live in history. It is an unassailable truism that that the present is prologue to the future. It will happen! Muslims too will have their inner peace. "In our day", I hope, and not at our expense.jlevyellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009369381088467381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-65442320411674706842011-07-28T20:38:33.055-04:002011-07-28T20:38:33.055-04:00Daniel wrote: “The left rejected commercial progre...Daniel wrote: “The left rejected commercial progress as capitalist, but continued to embrace technological progress and cultural development. Then it rejected technological progress as destructive, culture as perspective and stated that the highest moral principle was for the West to save the world by destroying itself.” <br /><br />I think he underestimates the purpose of the left, or the left that is at large in Western society today. The attitude of the left is ostensively paradoxical. But it is not the same left that founded the Soviet Union, Red China, or Cuba. Those leftists, at least on the surface, seem to value and promise human and material progress, and tried to achieve it by enslaving their populations and putting fetters on their slaves’ minds. With every bogus five-year plan and every pseudo-false scientific accomplishment, they fooled their populations and convinced themselves that the collectivist scam was workable and practical – until at some point even the most gullible dolts said, “Account overdrawn.” Communist nations are not naturally creative or innovative; they can only emulate their freer, more prosperous neighbors, or the ones they haven’t invaded and sacked. <br /><br />Contemporary leftists, however, especially the environmentalists, are fundamentally nihilists. They do not want to preserve or discover new, beneficial values for man. They are against man. So they are against nuclear power, genetically-altered produce and livestock, medical research, housing developments, standard light bulbs, even “wind farms” and solar energy, because none of it is “natural.” It all violates Mother Earth, because man must take from the earth to produce those things. Like Islam, contemporary leftists do not want to “save the West.” They want to see it swamped and drowned by their opposite number, their fellow nihilists of Islam. <br /><br />They see strength in Islam, which is why they side with it, knowing that should a global caliphate ever be realized, they, they, the leftists, will be the first to be told to convert, or else. And, being nihilists, the leftists do not care. They worship non-existence, and know that their best bet of achieving a living death is to destroy, or help to destroy, those who love existence. In that sense, they share the same end as the Islamists and seekers after that “golden age.”Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-43780399131974483692011-07-28T16:15:59.484-04:002011-07-28T16:15:59.484-04:00they embrace a mythical past, they wiped out the p...they embrace a mythical past, they wiped out the past of those countries they took over<br /><br />the pre-islamic past<br /><br />look what's going on in PersiaDaniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-77956638212616192742011-07-28T16:04:35.167-04:002011-07-28T16:04:35.167-04:00Muslims may embrace their own past, but they have ...Muslims may embrace their own past, but they have made some significant historical revisions re Israel and Jerusalem, as well as co-opting Jewish history, beginning with Abraham.

A fact is we can not wish a billion Muslims away. To nuke Mecca and other holy Islamic cities might be effective in creating such a gloom in Islamic society that Islam as a religion collapses but is hardly an "enlightened"action neither is the killing of all Western accommodators of importing Muslims into the western world as is clearly shown in Norway and deporting those Muslims already in our society is hardly feasible. So we wait for the inevitable cycle of life and history, birth, growing up and dying and growth, fulfillment and inevitably: decline.
