Can a doctor save a patient who doesn’t want to be saved?
The movie posters for Bob Dylan’s unjustly maligned cinematic masterpiece Masked and Anonymous bear the legend “Would you reach out your hand to save a drowning man if you thought he might pull you in?” And that neatly sums up the problem the West faces today: it could beat back the forces of jihad and stop the advance of Sharia, were it not for all the Europeans and North Americans who think it would be wrong and evil to do so, and would sooner pull down the man who is trying to save them from drowning than take any realistic steps to save itself.
For it is clear, twenty-five years after 9/11, that the U.S. and Europe would have no problem of jihad at all were it not for the self-serving short-sightedness and self-hatred of the international left, and the growing Jew-hatred and equal short-sightedness among patriots. The last caliphate was abolished in 1924; many modern-day Muslim-majority states do not fully observe Sharia, and aren’t pursuing jihad with any particular energy.
If socialist internationalists hadn’t opened the doors of Western states to mass Muslim migration, and demonized and stigmatized as “racist” anyone who objected, there wouldn’t be so many Muslims in Western countries, and that would mean less jihad and less Sharia. The West has a growing jihad and Sharia problem because of the false assumption that Western countries could absorb, with no particular difficulty, massive numbers of people who believed that their legal systems were the creation of “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6), and needed to be replaced with the laws of “the best of people that has been raised up for mankind,” who “command what is right and forbid what is wrong” (Qur’an 3:110).
Any concern about that, leftists told us, was racist and “Islamophobic.” Patriots, meanwhile, with George W. Bush proclaiming “Islam is peace” at the lead, likewise insisted that Islam was peaceful and benign, and that the only problem was the terrorists, who we pursued relentlessly and wrong-headedly in Iraq and Afghanistan, killing members of terror groups while enshrining Sharia as the highest law in both countries, not realizing or caring that Sharia observance would only breed more jihadis.
The U.S. and European governments instituted counterterror programs that carefully avoided saying anything remotely negative (however accurate) about Islam, and completely ignored the stealth jihad of subversion and the gaining of political power. And so that stealth jihad has advanced almost totally unopposed. The next Congress will have a dramatic increase in its number of Sharia-adherent Muslims, and Nihad Awad of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations has spoken grandly of how, if Muslims only worked hard, there could be fifty or a hundred Muslim congresspeople and senators within just a few years.
And many Muslims are indeed working hard, while most Americans, having been carefully taught to shun “Islamophobia,” view this increase in the number of Muslim elected representatives with indifference, as if it were a matter of how many Methodists or Baptists were in the House. Once again, the political, supremacist, expansionist and violent aspects of Sharia are completely ignored.
Aiding and abetting that willful ignorance is the rising antisemitic wing on the right. Formerly respected commentators such as Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens praise Islam and Sharia, apologize for their former opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others, and insist that tiny Israel is a genuine threat to the United States, while the ideological brethren of those who took down the Twin Towers and murdered nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001 are not.
And so now, twenty-five years after those murders, most people know better than to take the hand of the man who wants to pull them out of the water and save them from drowning. They know better than to endorse some “Islamophobic,” “xenophobic” enterprise. They are above all that, and they are shocked that you are still susceptible to right-wing propaganda of that kind.
Meanwhile, the jihadis, violent and stealth, see their opportunity, and use this fog of willful ignorance to conceal their activities and advance their agenda. Will the U.S. and Europe be saved? It could still happen. But it will only happen over the strenuous objection of millions of people who would prefer to be conquered and subjugated, as long as they aren’t called racist.

No. You HAVE TO STOP PUBLIC FUNDING of Islam and its Organizations including Mosques and Muslim Schools to limit the growth of Muslim Organizations and Muslim indoctrination and education. Basically, every Muslim uses their own discretion and freedom to commit criminal acts against Non-Muslims.
