The Awakening Continues: Muslims Want to Destroy America and the West

The Western world continues to awaken from its self-induced delirium regarding the nature of Islam and the threat we face.

What is true is that Islam is a totalitarian, expansionist ideology that seeks our deaths or our submission.

If we accept that this is a clash between civilizations, two questions face us: How does this change our thinking? And the painful one: What do we do about it?
