New book believes Islamic fascism poses a threat similar to the Germans and Nazism during WWII
A new book by Toney Blankley theorizes that Islamic fascism poses a threat similar to the Germans and Nazism during WWII.
Tough to disagree with the sentiment expressed by Blankley in his book, “The West’s Last Chance: Will We Win the Clash of Civilizations?”
The Washington Times has carried excerpts. A few highlights:
He is very concerned about “Eurabia.” He should be. He believes that if European governments do not begin to respond to Islamic fascism within their cities and countries that Europeans will respond in a vigilante fashion. I believe he gives the Europeans too much credit for recognizing the issue and for having the courage to take action as required.
“The radical Islamists are able to rationalize concessions to modernity with ancient-sounding mumbo jumbo while still sounding like authentic fundamentalists, the only true voice of Islam.
The Nazis overwhelmed German society with these methods 70 years ago. There is building evidence that the radical Islamists are moving ever more successfully down the same path -- particularly within the younger generations in Europe and, to a lesser extent, in the United States."
He views current Islamic fascism as a “post modern” issue, stating these fanatics frequently advocate what Islam believes immoral in order to facilitate the continuance of jihad.
I just ordered it from Amazon.com. Light October reading on the future of our civilization.
