in my opinion the western democracy underrates the danger of islam.

Many western countries allow islamists staying in their territories, let petrodollars invests in usa and europe, forgot muslim mass migration toward west and don't fight cultural war against islam.

It's obvious how islam are a fragile ...cult but it's incredible how west fell into money cult and forget how our tradition could save us from dangerous way of thinking like islam.

communism, or what shall remain of this, and extreme capitalism way of life (f.e. the money above all, even abovereligion and moral values) drive our politicians to a dark and foggy future. until we believe into money cult and do nothing to defend our culture, islamists have a giant plains where they shall hit us.

The iraqi situation is illuminating. America finally shows how this war was made not for the defense of western values but only in order to find another oil supplier instead of saudi arabia (at one step to be a taliban theocracy). I think the only solution will come from imposing human rights all over the world with the army or not, but i can see in iraq there are a constitution based on sharia, and we all know what sharia are (barbarian way of life).

The west must let economic rules in the corner.we must know we engaged not only a army fighting but a cultural fight between a medieval way of thinking and modernity.and no sleeping will be forgive.
