In view of recent events in the Netherlands, I am reprinting this essay. It first appeared on this website in September 2007. It was relevant then; it is even more relevant today.
Our leaders are too weak to deal with the problems we are now facing, problems caused by the political system which masquerades as a religion, otherwise known as Islam.
The 'New Dark Age' which I wrote about in my book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age, which first appeared in November 2003, really is dawning alarmingly fast. Faster than anyone could ever have imagined.
I entitled this essay, Leaders Without Testicles. The title was pertinent when I wrote the essay; it is even more pertinent today. The liberal élite in The Netherlands are but a glowing example of what cravenness will do to freedoms: It will destroy them!
This was the essay I wrote back in 2006. I hope you enjoyed reading it then; and I hope you will enjoy reading it now. It needs to be read in the light of the darkness that is falling on The Netherlands, a country which till only very recently was a beacon of enlightenment and freedom! – ©Mark
The essay:
On a day in which the world has come to learn that one of the greatest tenors of all time, Luciano Pavarotti, died, a man who encapsulated much that is great about the West, we are reminded of much that is great about our civilization, and, if we sit back and think about things, we should be reminded, too, that this great civilization is threatened both from without and from within: By Islam. Islam is gaining in strength even here in Europe, and there, across the Pond, in America. Yet nobody has the balls to deal with the problem. The problem is akin to a snowball rolling down a mountainside: It keeps growing in size even as it rolls!
Throughout its history, Islam has always, but always, won the day, and subsumed each and every culture* it has ever entered and into which it has been allowed enter and put down its roots. I assure you here and now, Europe will be no exception. The writing is already on the wall. Our future, if we do nothing about this development, is plain for all to see. It will be Islamic, and it will be neither free nor democratic.
Alas, we have no leaders with testicles, no leaders with balls, no leaders with spunk! Bush has proved himself to be a pussy – ineffectual in the extreme. As indeed was Blair. He was all hot air; all form and no substance. This current incumbent of Number 10, Gordon Brown, refuses to acknowledge still less deal with the problems we face with Islam in our midst. In fact, it was reported only recently that a Muslim group is the largest source of funding outside of the unions here in Great Britain. Ladies and gentlemen: It is high time we took stock!
Islam, if it is allowed to keep establishing itself here in the West, will destroy, nay annihilate, all that we have to come to hold dear. Make no bones about it, Islam is out to destroy all that is great about Western culture: great wines, great music, great literature, great art, and of course our great Judeo-Christian tradition. There will be no more Pavarottis, no more great music, no more great wines, no more great literature, no more great anything. The only thing that will be great is Allah, Allahu akbar! All will be destroyed if Islam is allowed to gain the upper hand. Islam is ruthless. It allows no-one and nothing to block its path to power.
Western politicians are ignorant of the force and power that is Islam. They are also weak, craven, and ineffectual. They faff around dealing with inconsequential matters when, in fact, they should be dealing with the one and only thing that matters today: The growth of Islam here in the West.
If they want to live under the yoke of Islam, then they are welcome to do so. But please move to the Islamic world to do so! I do not wish to live under Islam’s iron grip; and when I say this I believe I speak for many, nay for the majority.
These spineless leaders of ours want all the power, all the glory, and all the accoutrements of power; but one thing they do not want: They do not want to have to take the tough decisions which actually come with high office.
This, of course, is totally and utterly unacceptable. If they want the money, the big houses, the chauffer-driven cars, etc, then they should accept their responsibilities with equanimity. They need to tell Muslims that if they want to stay here in the West, then they have to start integrating and live like the rest of us. They have to stop thinking that they are superior, for superior they certainly are not. If anything, quite the reverse is true! What, I ask you, is superior about a 'culture' which condones public beheadings, the stonings to death of women, the cutting off of hands and feet for theft, and the suppression of women, homosexuals, and others who do not conform to their narrow ideals?
I think I speak for many, many people when I say that I am tired, sick to death, of politicians taking all the perks of high office, yet being totally unwilling to deal with the main danger that faces the people of the West today, totally unwilling to protect the people from darkness, protect the very people they are supposed to represent.
Many people, of course, are ignorant of the dangers that lie ahead of them; they are too busy earning a living to care. But they have a rude awakening awaiting them. This is 1938 all over again! In 1938, in their heart of hearts, people knew that Hitler would become a huge problem, but they refused to admit that such would be so. So it is in 2007! People, in their heart of hearts, know that Islam is a huge problem. But so many are afraid to admit it. I invite you to do so now. Go on! Be truthful with yourself! Admit to yourself what you already actually know!
Personally, I find it incredibly disconcerting that Islam has been allowed to grow here in the West, grow to the point that it is going to be extremely difficult to solve the problem. It is hard to believe that Western politicians are so ineffectual, so weak, so stupid, so without courage, so without testicles. But this is actually so.
But fight back we must if we are to rescue the West from the New Dark Age
! Ask yourself one simple question: If the shoe were on the other foot, would they allow you, an infidel, the same freedoms to establish your religion (and political system) in their countries?*It took centuries and much bloodshed to reverse Islam's influence on Spain.

Yesterday I posted this over at Infidel Bloggers Alliance. I'm sure that you've seen it. The House of Lords has canceled their scheduled screening of Fitna, thus emboldening Moslems even further.
Of course, dhimmitude and cowardice are not limited to the UK or, as we presently see, in the case of Geert Wilders. I'm willing to wager that the majority of our elected representatives here in the United States haven't watched Fitna either.
Since you first posted this essay, Mark, the West has shown no determination even to survive the onslaught of Islam. We're putting in foot baths all over the place, so that Moslems can "purify" themselves, yet according to Nonie Darwish, such foot baths are not in place in public places in Egypt -- only in mosques. That may be changing, of course, now that the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization which has undeniable ties to terrorism, is assuming more power in Egypt.
I despair of the outcome now, in the war of Islam against the West. I now believe that, in my lifetime, shari'a law will become a strong force within Western nations. The West shows no spine and no willingness to survive. As Nonie Darwish said, "The West is doing this to itself."
I'm watching the news a lot lately. Here in the States, not a single word about Geert Wilders or about Suzanne de Winter. The stories about these individuals are of consummate importance! Yet, the West remains in denial that there is even a problem with Islam.
As you said, [W]e have no leaders with testicles, no leaders with balls, no leaders with spunk!
So, no matter how much we cry out, our voices are ineffectual as long as our leadership doesn't heed the warnings we give.
I tell you, I'm not sleeping well these days.
Always:
I hadn't seen your post on it; though I had read that the House of Lords would not be watching the film. Disgusting, that's all I can say! Such dhimmitude!

It's everywhere around in the West, I'm afraid. It's so depressing to think that we are allowing this centuries old cult to drag us back to the Dark Ages. But that's what we are allowing it to do.

You are so right. The West has shown absolutely no determination to do anything about the metastasis we see happening before our very eyes. The placing of foot baths in public places for purification is a load of nonsense. If the politicians had anything about them, they'd say no, no, and no again!

She's right: We are doing this to ourselves. And yes, I despair of the outcome, too. Could you have believed in your youth that we would be even discussing the possibility of a backward legal system establishing itself here in the West?

I've been out and about on the Web today, looking for news about Geert Wilders in the French, German and British newspapers. Zilch have I found, except for an article in Welt Online in German. The French newspapers don't seem to know who Wilders is!
So, no matter how much we cry out, our voices are ineffectual as long as our leadership doesn't heed the warnings we give.
Exactly! But will they listen? Definitely not!
I tell you, I'm not sleeping well these days.
Nor am I! I haven't had a good night's rest for about a week.
Four surgeons are discussing which are the perfect patients.
The first surgeon says. "I think accounts make the best patients, Everything is numbered and set in orderly sequence"
The second surgeon says. "No the best patients are electricians, Everything is colour coded".
The third surgeon disagrees, and says. "Ah, a much better patient is a building contractor, As they understand when you have left over parts, and time frames slip on by with no clear end in sight".
The fourth, and final surgeon says. "No, No, you've got it all wrong. The best patients are politicians. There's so little to work on, they only have a mouth and an a***hole................ And they're both interchangeable".
Sorry Mark. The opening just presented itself, and I couldn't help myself ;)
What's that they say about humour; the funniest kind is that which lies closest to the truth.
Whoops..."accounts" should be accountants.
Seriously though, your wonderful essay does indeed capture the sickness of the malaise which afflicts all our political classes. The question is, is it really down to a total deficit of testicular fortitude, or is it something more sinister. It does appear that our elites have an ulterior agenda. Are they riding the Tiger's tail in the hopes of coming through the chaos with them on top, after the beast has devoured the West. In which case, I don't fancy their chances once the tiger has the taste of Western blood, who do they think will come to their aide, because I really can't see them making very good, pious muslims. Though one does have to admit...they do do an excellent job of genuflecting to those whom they perceive to be their new cultural overlords.
Then again, upon consideration, having Brown's harpies, stuffed into those black sacks, does have a certain appeal to it.
Just Another Richard:
Happy New Year! Good to have you back with us!
Sorry Mark. The opening just presented itself, and I couldn't help myself ;)
Think nothing of it. I had a good laugh over it. Yesterday, before going to bed, that's exactly what I needed. It had been a bad day. Thank you!

That'll be right.

What's more sinister when you have a deadly enemy than not having the courage to deal with that enemy?
It does appear that our elites have an ulterior agenda.
Our élites do indeed have an ulterior agenda; and it has nothing to do with the wishes of the people they are paid to represent.
Are they riding the Tiger's tail in the hopes of coming through the chaos with them on top, after the beast has devoured the West.
Good question!
In which case, I don't fancy their chances once the tiger has the taste of Western blood, who do they think will come to their aide, because I really can't see them making very good, pious muslims.
Most of the élite have not lived in any Muslim lands, know little about Islam, and what they do know is viewed through rose-tinted spectacles. In short, they haven't got a clue! Still less do they have any understanding of what will happen to our free way of life if we lose to this barbaric cult.
Though one does have to admit...they do do an excellent job of genuflecting to those whom they perceive to be their new cultural overlords.
They certainly do, and till now none was better at it than Georgie Porgie, or should that read Georgie Pudgie?
But now we have another appeaser in President Barack Hussein Obama: Your President! Now he wants to have a new partnership with the Muslim world. The Americans are not your enemy, he added. No, they aren't. But what he fails to say is that the Muslims are the enemies of Americans. Further, Islam is the enemy of democracy and freedom.
