January 22, 2009 Exclusive: When Will We Wake Up to the Threat of Radical Islam? Tom <http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.74/author_detail.asp> McLaughlin What is it going to take for Europe and America to realize the threat? Radical Muslim terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda and others won't stop until the world is under Sharia law. Don't know what that means? It means stoning to death adulterers, homosexuals and apostates (anyone who leaves Islam), killing <http://www.nypost.com/seven/07232008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/an_american _honor_killing_121118.htm> sisters, wives, daughters who "dishonor" the family by wearing bikinis or otherwise dressing like most women in the West do, and beating women if they disobey their husbands. Sounds farfetched, you say? Well, according the BBC, no less a person than the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, claims <http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7232661.stm> "Sharia law in UK 'unavoidable.'" On New Years night a few weeks ago, young Muslims in France rioted. They burned 1,147 cars in <http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/3723> several French cities. It's not the first time this has happened and French police were out in force. Still, there were 30% more cars burned this year than last. French media won't call the rioters Muslims however. Their politically-correct, multicultural denial doesn't allow them to. Instead, domestic terrorists are simply called "youths." Car burnings are getting routine for the French. "Even during tranquil periods, an average <http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/11/13/MNG0JFNGV21.DTL > of 80 vehicles per day are set alight somewhere in the country," claims the San Francisco Chronicle. "'Burning cars is rather typically French, said Michel Wieviorka, a French sociologist who has studied the phenomenon." Uh-huh. Just the usual mischief by those pesky French "youths." Nothing to do with Radical Islam. Move along folks. Nothing to see here. In Sweden, rapes <http://www.islam-watch.org/Fjordman/Muslim_Immigration_Insult_Harassment_Ra pe_Swedish_Girls.htm> by Muslim immigrants and their offspring are skyrocketing, quadrupling in 20 years. Sweden's liberal immigration policies have allowed huge numbers of unassimilated Muslims to upset <http://dissidentpress.wordpress.com/2008/06/17/the-number-of-rape-crimes-in creased-by-257-pc-in-sweden-in-a-period-of-ten-years> their multicultural bliss. It's getting harder to tolerate intolerant Muslim immigrants when they disdain Swedish women. According to Islam-watch.org, someone named Hamid <http://www.islam-watch.org/Fjordman/Muslim_Immigration_Insult_Harassment_Ra pe_Swedish_Girls.htm> said, "'It is not as wrong raping a Swedish girl as raping an Arab girl. The Swedish girl gets a lot of help afterwards, and she had probably f***** before, anyway. . . . It is far too easy to get a Swedish whore.. girl, I mean,' says Hamid, and laughs over his own choice of words." Such attitudes are common in Europe lately. According to the Copenhagen <http://www.jimball.com.au/features/Political%20%20uproar%20over%20mufti%27s %20rmearks%20-The%20Copenhagen%20Post.htm> Post: "An Islamic mufti in Copenhagen, Shahid Mehdi, has sparked political outcry from the left-wing Unity List and right-wing Danish People's Party, after stating in a televised interview that women who do not wear headscarves are 'asking for rape.'" "Public outcry," huh? Not enough of an outcry to call Muslim terrorists what they are though. Just those pesky "youths" again. Is it an unwillingness to admit their embrace of multiculturalism - the idea that all cultures are equal - has been wrong all along? Or is it just plain fear of radical Muslim terror? Both, I suspect, but more the latter. They spend a lot of time patting themselves on the back, claiming to "speak truth to power," but at bottom, Western <http://honestreporting.com/articles/45884734/critiques/Reuters_Admits_Appea sing_Terrorists.asp> media simply lack courage. And the nice schools Europeans built for immigrants to attend? Those mischievous "youths" are burning them. "[W]e are close to the point where a majority of pupils have a foreign background, which is to say that either they or their parents come from a country outside Sweden," says Alan Widman, member of Sweden's parliament about the situation in the city of Malmo. Where outside Sweden Mr. Widman? He won't identify foreigners as Arab Muslims, even when they're torching schools at the rate of one every other day and shouting "Allahu Akbar." The canary <http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.1005/pub_detail.asp> in the coal mine for Western civilization is Israel. It's under constant assault from Radical Islam. Yet when they retaliate against rocket attacks from Hezbollah or Hamas, the western media condemn them instead of the radical Muslim terrorists who attack them. Indeed, a worldwide intifada has erupted <http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=230> all over Europe, Canada and the USA. Muslim <http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/01/pro-hamas-protesters-in-fort-laud erdale.html> marchers in Fort Lauderdale called for Jews to go back to the ovens. If you think our "relations" with radical Islam are going to change with the election of Barack Obama, think again. They're already burning <http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article5510665.ece> his likeness while shouting "Death to Obama" in Iran. My fear is that it's going to take something far more drastic than September 11th to wake up Europe and America - like the loss <http://belfercenter.ksg.harvard.edu/publication/882/russias_loose_nukes.htm l> of a whole city to a smuggled nuclear device. A majority of Europeans and far too many Americans cling to their belief that we must continue to tolerate the intolerable, continue to celebrate multiculturalism and diversity - even if it kills us.
