"Islam needs an intervention"

Roger Simon, with my commentary.

Islam needs an intervention

Indeed, like a badly failing family member — an alcoholic or a drug addict — what Islam desperately needs now is not nuclear appeasement or CAIR-style “tolerance” but an intervention. 

To say that something is decidedly wrong in the Islamic world is a monumental understatement. And Muslim societies make almost no serious effort to correct themselves, ricocheting back and forth between military totalitarianism and religious totalitarianism while — like that family heroin addict — blaming everyone but themselves for their fate.
They are indeed in deep need of an intervention. The question is how to do it. 

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Of course, just by raising that question you are accused of Islamophobia, an absurd almost self-contradictory term, which always applies better to those using it. They are the ones who are phobic about Islam because they are the ones who are fearful (actually terrified) of what Islamic people will do if told the truth. So they come up with those equally absurd lies, like defining the crime of a soldier who murders his fellows while shouting “Allahu Akhbar” as “workplace violence.” 

The actual "Islamophobes" are the folks who are so afraid of Islam that they won't tell the truth about it.

This real Islamophobia has been the pathetic stance of our government and military since 9/11, made worse by the delusions of Barack Obama. Of course it has failed. How could it possibly succeed when it is fundamentally dishonest? 

Meanwhile, another large sector of our society wants us to throw up our hands at the whole thing — let these madmen destroy each other. I am sympathetic — how could I not be? We have already lost so much in treasure, human and material. 

But I will remind those people — and myself — that in our tradition we are our brother’s keeper. And that is one of the most important values, if not the key value, that gave us this great country. 

We are not Islam's keeper. Let Allah sort it out. But if they attack us, we should defend ourselves with vigor.

Furthermore, such a violent ideology left unchecked could destroy the world. It already infects over a billion Muslims, with painfully rare, though highly laudable, exceptions. 

"Infects". Yes. It is a disease of the human soul.

(The depressing truth is that I met almost all of them in my job at PJM. Where are the rest? Why is it there is no really organized attempt within Islam for any kind of serious reform — only the most momentary lip service after a terror attack?)

Carnage like the events in Pakistan and Kenya have widespread support in the Muslim world.

Islam is a deadly heresy-- a form of Arianism. You can see why the Church fought heretics with such ferocity. Heresies are deadly business. Eventually Islam will come to widespread military conflict with the West. It will be demolished militarily-- there has not been since the Battle of Vienna any Muslim army that can take the field against an Western army and survive more than a few days.

Islam will not stop murdering innocents and the West will not tolerate it forever. The real horror in all of this is that while there is no doubt that Islam and the West will come to widespread war, and that Islam will lose militarily, the Western armies may fight under the flag of fascism, which is on the rise in Europe in the wake of the eclipse of Christianity.

The world will pay an enormous price for tossing aside Christian faith.
