The mistake the West is making is in trying to distinguish between various types of Islam: Islam, Islamism, radical Islam, etc. There is but ONE Islam; and Islam is the source of the problem. The Crusaders knew this well. They understood the nature of the threat to the free world. So why have we become so ill-informed? Why are we so bloody stupid?
You CANNOT distinguish between benign Islam and malign Islam. Islam is Islam. No one will ever be able to change its nature. Islam and the West are immiscible. There are many reasons for this, but ONE important reason is that Islam recognises no separation of religion and politics. They are one whole. The West, on the other hand, depends on their separation. Without that separation, the West cannot be the West!
If we want the free West to survive, we had better learn this damn lesson quickly! I wrote a book about this more than twenty years ago. Why don’t people listen to common sense? – © Mark Alexander
