An Islamist threat like the Nazis

By Aussiegirl

Tony Blankley's new book, The West's Last Chance: Will We Win the Clash of Civilizations?, is excerpted in today's Washington Times in the first of a 3-part series. Don't miss this.

(Herb Meyer has laid out a similar scenario in his excellent DVD, "The Siege of Western Civilization".)

In this new book, Tony Blankley lays out the very real dangers that face Europe, and ultimately the world, from an increasingly fascist-minded strain of Islam.

Read a short excerpt:

The threat of the radical Islamists taking over Europe is every bit as great to the United States as was the threat of the Nazis taking over Europe in the 1940s.
We cannot afford to lose Europe. We cannot afford to see Europe transformed into a launching pad for Islamist jihad.

While we in the United States and Europe have vast resources for protecting ourselves, we have thought ourselves into a position of near impotence.
Beyond the growing number of Muslims committed to terrorism is the threat from the Islamic diaspora's growing cultural and religious assertiveness -- particularly in largely secular Europe, where Muslim cultural assimilation has not occurred.

It is beginning to dawn on Europeans that the combination of a shrinking ethnic-European population and an expanding, culturally assertive Muslim population might lead to the fall of Western civilization in Europe within a century.
This phenomenon, called Eurabia, is viewed with growing fatalism both in Europe and in America. Such fatalism, however, is premature.
