O WEST, BE WISER! WAKE UP FROM YOUR SELF-INDUCED SLUMBER!

O WEST, BE WISER! WAKE UP FROM YOUR SELF-INDUCED SLUMBER!

The West is on a suicidal mission of allowing Islamism to have its full play. This is possibly to atone for its historical atrocities on weaker nations -- colonialism, world wars, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Syria, you name it. But is that justification enough to allow the takeover of their universities and public spaces by illiberal liberals who no more permit free speech that necessarily must sometimes offend Islamic ideology and practice? Western values would deem otherwise but it is sadly changing as more and more space is being afforded to those who ideologically and in practice allow no space to criticise their religion or venerated religious personalities, while shutting down all contrary criticism of theirs. Free speech is being thus branded as hate speech, racism, Islamophobia, all convenient terms to curb criticism of Islam and allow its free flourishing to its exclusive fruition. This is generating what Douglas Murray dubs 'The Death of Europe'.

Has the West lost the plot altogether and is failing to detect the dangerous end to which it is allowing its society to be led into by infiltrating elements whose sole purpose is to subvert their civilisation and sooner or later impose the Sharia? Or, is the West playing with possibilities of a pluralistic society with an ideology that is patently exclusive and intolerant of all diversity once it is in the seat of political power? Perhaps, it is a well-calculated mathematical game drawn to statistical proportions and possibilities that will be allowed to progress along this disturbing line before the reins are drawn in to check further proliferation of such social toxicity. But why in the first place must it be allowed when its subversive intent is so clear? Why play with pernicious ideas, repressive, regressive and repugnant as they are?

Study Islamic history and discover its legacy. See how the Hindus have for over 1300 years suffered at the hands of Islam and continue to do so, then come to terms with the global Islamist agenda. India was force-dismembered by the Muslims and we lost our heritage and culture thereby to Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Look at Persia, now Iran. Where are the Zoroastrians there anymore? They have all fled to seek refuge in India where they still flourish, well-assimilated peaceful minority that they are. And look at what's happening in Kashmir where the Hindus have en masse been driven away from.

Your oil-interests notwithstanding, you must not allow these Islamic countries to foster Islamism in your western nations. If they succeed, your civilisation which is the product of the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Revolution and the Enlightenment will have been replaced by tribal barbarism and the death of life and liberty will have been sealed. O West, be wiser! Wake up from your self-induced slumber!
