Just a few minutes listening will teach our "progressives" the meaning of freedom in our western heritage and how not to fall in the trap of trying to shut down what you don't agree with by using disparaging labels.

Scruton makes his case very clearly. It is refreshing to hear it spelled out so well.

The trouble is that the time for such discussion is over.

Its time for the non-Muslim world to kick a large amount of Muslim ass. And that should be just to get their attention before the real payback is delivered, which they deserve. The longer we put it off, the more obvious to them is our cowardice.

issuevoter,

If we had the collective will, Western nations could turn around this problem [with ISLAM/moslems], 180 degrees, in less than 6 months.

If we had the collective will, ....to do what is right.

There is nothing that is wrong, that cannot be remedied, by doing what is right.
