Is The West Finally Waking Up?
I have said many times over and over on this blogsite and at my own website that should the West, in particular Europe, awakens from its self-induced myopia of Islam, that the Islamic world is in for a world of trouble.
Well it seems that such is slowly begining to happen. In a couple reports via The American Thinker it seems that the folks in the UK are begining the see the light, and perhaps are rubbing the sleep from their eyes in relation to the continued unrest by the Arab Street.
In one report British youths are confronting Muslim youths after a mother and her daughter were viciously attacked by a gang of thugs. The second report involes one Jack Straw who has decided that if he is going to talk to Muslim women, it was going be to face to face. Mr. Staw goes on to defend his position on the basis that the UK is a free society founded on democratic principles, and it is those that come to his country that need to intergrate into its society and NOT the other way around.
Mr. Straw does indeed respect the cultural aspects of those with whom he speaks, but he believes that such cultural differences should be left at ones own doorstep, an opinion I have expressed so many times.
Consider the riots that have occured over the last few months by the Arab street in Denmark, France and other European nations, and one gets the feeling that even the "enlightened" of those nations on the other side of the pond are starting to get fed up with all of this violence.
Perhaps the next time the Arab "rent a mob" goes over the edge and reacts violently over some percieved slight to their religion, the authorities of the host nation should react just as violently and put it down ASAP.
