We are helping ourselves by helping Muslims democratize, which undermines Islam.

We are already at war, whether infidels realize it or not. I’d much prefer they do realize, and do something about it.

We are helping islamic people in Iraq and Afghanistan form democracies despite the belief that ultimately they want to destroy us…
Spegler: “The trouble is that today’s Arabs (and to a great extent other Islamic populations) are in the position of the Slavs of 1914. They are an endangered culture, and like many endangered cultures, the extremists among them will take desperate measures”.

His view on “endangered cultures” is interesting. Pieces Ive read on the Slavs was that they were a growing minority population within the Austro-Hungary Empire, neighboring Serbia was growing in power and stature in the Balkans and the assasination of Archduke Ferdinand was a convenient opportunity to declare war on the Serbs and crush any hope of Slav nationalism.

Similarly, Islamic nations seem to be growing, not more “endangered”. Pakistan is already in the nukular club and Iran appears to be inevitably following.

Extremists exist in all cultures and political factions. They all wish to arrest power and ultimately will show themselves.

The real question is whether we are going to pursue a Spegleresque world war on Islam or whether we can co-exist with Islam and have small wars with the extremists.
