Anti-Islamist Muslims - who wish to live modern lives, unencumbered by burqas, fatwas and violent visions of jihad - are on the defensive and atomized. However eloquent, their individual voices cannot compete with the roar of militant Islam's determination, money (much of it from overseas) and violence. As a result, militant Islam, with its West-phobia and goal of world hegemony, dominates Islam in the West and appears to many to be the only kind of Islam.

Nothing in the constitutions of Western states requires them to get involved in every foreign conflict.

The Israelis are very smart about politics and strategy, but there are a few exceptions. One is Lebanon, the other is Gaza, where they were completely inept.

Western European societies are unprepared for the massive immigration of brown-skinned peoples cooking strange foods and maintaining different standards of hygiene... All immigrants bring exotic customs and attitudes, but Muslim customs are more troublesome than most.

You can't just read the Koran to understand Muslim life. You have to look at history, at personalities, at economics, and so on.

Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end not due to peace processes, but due to one side giving up.

Ultimately, there is no compromise. Westerners will either retain their civilization, including the right to insult and blaspheme, or not.
