I always enjoy Mr. Pipes' articles, but I can't help but disagree on this one: there is a spiritual dimension to this unnatural influx of Muslims, and there is definitely a spiritual dimension to the teachings and beliefs of the Muslims! As a Christian (who has lived in Saudi Arabia), I see an immense danger in the West bending over backwards to please and accomodate these barbarians, - and I see something worse: a blindfold that rests soothingly over most peoples eyes.
Muslims serve the Father of Lies, perhaps that's why they are capable of the most heinous crimes, perhaps that's why Muslim societies are able to rejoice and dance on the corpses of dead US soldiers (Islam seems to create some sort of group-psychopathy), and perhaps that's why Muslims will NEVER change, nor become 'modern' and litterates. Why should becoming modern, according to our standards and understanding, be a goal in itself?
The Muslims I know here in Copenhagen, feel much above the standards expressed by us Danes (we have a lot of drunks, crazies, etc.) and Hizb-ut-ahrir once said to me: 'the day we take over your country, that's the day the Danes will get a good life.' These are not crazy, illiterate people, but they serve someone who... seduces people by pretending to be good and bring light: I truly believe that to fully comprehend the dangers Islam poses, one will have to be a Christian. Today, I thought to myself: how fortunate I am to be a Christian, and how fortunate we are that Jesus Christ entered into this dark and lost world. He gave me and the rest of humankind hope.
