The West's Tepid Defense Against Islamic Aggression

Pamela of Atlas Shrugs has an article on two new books, Paul Sperry's Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington and David Selbourne's The Losing Battle with Islam.

She quotes Ilana Mercer of World Net Daily on an infuriating incident of the kind we hear about all too often:"Easily the most scandalous anecdote in the book (Infiltration) is that of FBI agent Sibel Edmonds walking into the Washington field office after 9-11, to find the Middle Eastern linguists making merry – passing around date-stuffed cookies to celebrate the occasion on which America got its just deserts. Were they fired? Stripped of their top-secret security clearances? Au contraire! More of their ilk were hired. Meanwhile, Arabic-speaking Sephardic Jews have been rejected for the job. There were "loyalty concerns," or so the bureau said."

The description of Muslim traitors in the Mercer quote above rings true. Serge Trifkovic, in his new book (see my review of it posted on April 22) Defeating Jihad writes that we should never give security clearances to Muslims because their religion makes them untrustworthy. Pamela feels discouraged by the state of the West's organized resistance to Islamic aggression and subversion. I share that feeling.

The biggest problem is that our leaders are wilfully blind to the true nature of the threat, i.e. that the threat is not "militant Islam" or "terrorism" but Islam itself. Our leaders are wallowing in P.C. induced self-delusion and denial, and so take no effective action to protect us. As Pamela writes, our leaders have "a deeply rooted unwillingness to make hard decisions or face hard facts, [which] has enabled the jihad threat to grow to its present dimensions... democracy, modernization, and hearts-and-minds initiatives are useless in this struggle, and doomed to failure."

I ordered Selbourne's book, pictured above, from Amazon, though I doubt it will tell me anything I don't already know. The burning question is, how do we make our leaders know it, how do we educate them and motivate them before it is too late?
