The blindness of the Left

Serge Trifkovic writes in Front Page Magazine:

The present technological, cultural and financial strength of Europe is a façade that conceals a deep underlying moral and demographic weakness. The symptoms of the malaise are apparent in the unprecedented demographic collapse and in the loss of a sense of place and history that go hand-in-hand with the expansion of the European Union.

The emerging transnational hyper-state is actively indoctrinating its subject-population into believing and accepting that the demographic shift in favor of Muslim aliens is actually a blessing that enriches the Old Continent’s culturally deprived and morally unsustainable societies. Europe is losing the ability to define and defend itself, to the benefit of unassimilable multitudes filled with contempt for the host-society.

Many Muslims in Europe already consider themselves de facto autonomous, a community of believers opposed to the broader society of infidels. Jihadist networks now exist in every country west of the former Iron Curtain save Iceland. They are centered on mosques and Islamic centers often financed by Saudi money. Muslim population of Europe, which stands at some 20 million as of this writing, will double by 2025 and at that time it will account for a third of all live births in the “Old Europe” (the 15-nation core of the European Union).

Most Muslims in Europe live in a parallel universe that has very little to do with the host country. Their mindset has nothing but contempt for the liberal concept of “tolerance” and “diversity,” and they possess a disdainful and hostile attitude to the host-society. Such hostility is clearly manifested in hard-core anti-Semitism – in its raw, unadulterated variety that is repugnant to most Europeans but regarded as normal, legitimate, and divinely ordained by most Muslims. But since the dictum of the multiculturalist ruling elite is that Islam is peaceful, tolerant, and as European as the Sistine Chapel, the truth must not be spoken.

Go and read the rest.

Regular readers of this blog will know that I blame the European governing elite's eagerness to surrender before 7th Century savages on the fact that they have been infected with the soul-destroying intellectual poison of left-liberalism.Because they have thoroughly embraced the ideas of multiculturalism they are unable to even entertain the possibility that their historical culture may be objectively superior to the Islamic culture.

Because they cannot admit to Western cultural superiority they cannot articulate a reason why Western culture should be defended. To the mind which has been twisted in this way the suggestion that Western Enlightenment values are under attack by a primitive death cult is nothing more than racism.

When the Left-liberal intellectual views a repulsive practice like female genital mutilation, honor killing, forced marriage or the ugliest and crudest expressions of anti-Semitism practiced by “a protected group sanctified by its anti-Western otherness, i.e. by Muslim immigrants and their Western-born offspring.” They tend to regard the normal feelings of revulsion which any civilized person would manifest before examples of such Dark Age barbarism as signs of latent racism.

In the delusional pocket universe of the left-liberal the people who correctly identify the problem and lay out a solution become their bitterest enemy. Like the response of the homosexual community of San Francisco in the early ‘80s to the emerging AIDS crisis. Those who recommended common-sense precautions like closing the bath houses, conducting contact tracing and educating the Gay population about the mortal peril that they were in if they did not abandon their promiscuous practices were viewed as Enemy Number One and fought at every turn. In reacting this way the Gay community brought down a terrible devastation upon itself.

In the same manner the European elites are bringing a terrible devastation down upon themselves. The left-liberal segment of the American population is attempting the same thing on this side of the Atlantic. In the US their home is on the college campus, the foundation boardroom, the mainstream media and the Howard Dean/Ned Lamont/dailykos wing of the Democrat Party.

If the part of the American public which retains its sanity wishes to wage war effectively against our enemies foreign it must first defeat our enemies domestic. There is a major battle coming up at the polls in November. I urge everyone reading this to get out and do their part.
