The lesson of the Kadr family is that, because we Infidels have no way of distinguishing the "moderate" Muslim from the threatening one, and identifying those who may carry, like a dormant virus that may come to life at any moment, militant Islam, and because, further, Islam itself is ruled by the idea that "war is deception" (as Muhammad says in one of the hadith), and Muslims practice religiously-sanctioned deception - taqiyya, kitman -- to "protect the faith" -- we must, out of the understandable impulse of self-preservation, to end all Muslim migration to our own, Infidel lands, and wherever possible, to reverse such migration. The alternative -- that there will be demographic conquest from within, is already a distinct possiblity in Israel, and now in Italy, Holland, France, and elsewhere, within a few decades.This is not idle or scare talk; it is an absolutely cold-blooded judgment based on the data. Neither the West, nor any other non-Muslim civilization, is under the obligation to commit civilizational suicide, and to allow within its midst those who are steeped in an ideology hostile to that civilization., and determined, through demography and da'wa, to conquer it, from within, for themselves.
Muslims who refuse to openly admit to the central tenets of Islam that so threaten Infidels, who pretend that Qur'an and hadith do NOT encourage hostility to Infidels, who pretend that Jihad is meant purely itual self-conquest, that Christians and Jews were treated well rather than badly under Islam, that Islam is, as some foolishly claim, a religion of "tolerance" and "peace" -- no matter how peaceful they may seem, objectively further the Jihad. The more contact one has with Muslims, especially the "moderates" at all those time-wasting interfaith sessions, who simply omit, distort, and lie again and again about the most obvious and central tenets of Islam, the more suspicious one becomes of virtually all Muslims except those who forthrightly denounce it, and either leave the faith (as Ibn Warraq) or keep thinging, without much evidence, that there is some way to reform it (as Irshad Manji).
