“Only one faith on earth may be more messianic than Islam: multiculturalism. Without it – without its fanatics who believe all civilizations are the same – the engine that projects Islam into the unprotected heart of Western civilization would stall and fail. It’s as simple as that.” So right-wing US commentator Diana West claims.

As a result of the efforts of these multiculturalists, with their “masochistic brand of tolerance”, we “prevent ourselves from looking full face at the danger to our way of life posed by Islam. Notice I didn’t say ‘Islamists’. Or ‘Islamofascists’. Or ‘fundamentalist extremists’. I’ve tried out such terms in the past, but I’ve come to find them artificial and confusing, and maybe purposefully so, because in their imprecision I think they allow us all to give a wide berth to a great problem: the gross incompatibility of Islam – the religious force that shrinks freedom even as it ‘moderately’ enables, or ‘extremistly’ advances jihad – with the West. Am I right? Who’s to say? The very topic of Islamization – for that is what is at hand, and very soon in Europe – is verboten.”
