Dr. Pipes, your article is brilliant assesment of European situation. However, neither you nor other experts mention "political correctness" as a major cause of not telling the truth about Islam by the European and US leaders and the media. This in turn gives wrong ideas to the masses as Islam is like any other religion and there is nothing to worry about the increasing Muslim population in the West.

But the recent events vis-a- vis Mulsims in the West have proven our leaders wrong and yet the politicians and the media do not learn. So long as the real truth about Islam is not told, the Western slide to Islamization will continue. Whenever the truths about Islam are exposed in the West, Muslims all over the world get mad. Isn't this a major clue to us to watch out - these people are not here to assimilate but to dominate us. Only solution - tell the truht about the real nature of Islam fearlessly and let the chips fall wherever they may, if we want to survive!!! The time for appeasement and negotiations is gone as we have been doing all along and know it doesn't work with Muslims.

Daniel Pipes replies:

Political correctness is subsumed in the more general point I made:

In addition, many Europeans no longer cherish their history, mores, and customs. Guilt about fascism, racism, and imperialism leave many with a sense that their own culture has less value than that of immigrants.
