I guess you could say that American civilization (or parts of it) is in the tub taking a cucumber-yoghurt-ennui bath; Europe is drowning in its bath. Or maybe it's just sitting in the tub, waiting for the knife, waiting to marble the yoghurt with raspberry redness. I mean, COME ON! Today there was a front page article in the New York Times on "militants" in Europe calling for "jihad and the rule of Islam." Nothing new there, and all the article was describing was the growing openness of such talk. Of course, it's not like there's been that much secretiveness in the past few years.
The part I just don't get is the refusal of these European states to defend themselves. What's so wrong with dealing in categories? Prohibit the immigration of Muslims. Just like that. But of course, they won't. They can't. And suggesting deportation, well, that's just ridiculous.
The Yoghurt-Ennui Bath, S. David Joffre
Maybe it's about time the modern state fell. Death to the revolution. We can clear the playing field and have an honest face-off between the Christian nations and the Muslim nations.
Wouldn't it be funny if the killer of la modernite et sa sale batarde were Islam? Maybe not.
It might be funny if we threw the French to the wolves first. Then we might make it to the church doors in time.
