A must read article which eloquently states one of the problems I have had difficulty articulating correctly. The problem? That our one-sided tolerance of Islam and the foibles of its people could lead to cultural suicide for the western world. We are doing all the toleratiing, while the level of contempt that Muslims, and most especially the extremist ones that are likely to take up arms against western interests, have for Christianity, Judaism, and the west in general only rises. We let them get away with more and more in the name of tolerance and understanding, while they find more and more "problems" that the west is supposedly causing them, and find more and more reasons to justify demanding tolerance for their evils. It's sort of like a child who nags and nags to get what he wants, and every time you fold, the child becomes more likely to nag in the future. If someone is doing something bad, you have to teach them a lesson, not say, "Oh, I understand, just don't do it again." It doesn't work like that with dogs, it doesn't work like that with children, and it certainly doesn't work like that with Muslims. Otherwise, after all the concessions Israel has given the Palestinians, and all the money the US government has given them, their leaders would not still use anti-semitic and anti-Aemerican hate rhetoric to stir up their flock. Instead all the concessions with no requirement of reform are only serving to reinforce the immoral methods with which they work (suicide bombings, honor killings, etc.).
