Just after 9/11, there was a good deal of introspection within the Muslim community living in the West—there was even more good will toward the Muslim community from non-Muslim Westerners.  The good will has stayed the same, perhaps even accelerated into encouragement; the self-introspection has now become self-expression.

Whether we are talking of the October 7th bloodbath that received countenance all over the West, the recent attack in Bondi Beach, the thwarted upcoming New Year’s Eve bombings, we could not spend enough time detailing the examples.  Toleration for all of this and more must end.  In his autobiography, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair wrote: “In the mindset that is modern Islam, there is one spectrum, not several…. including too many who buy into bits of their [extremist] world-view.”

If ten percent of the Muslim world population is near this point of view, we who want to preserve the West had better awaken from our lethal slumber.  Too much tolerance is already devastating Judeo-Christian values, and Jews, and Christians.
