Overlord Was For Sand

Bruce Bawer via Jihad Watch:

there’s one very important difference between America and Europe when it comes to resisting cultural jihad, and that is this: that in America, a large proportion of the people who recognize the threat of Islam and who are determined to resist it are consciously fighting for freedom — for, that is, the principles articulated in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. In many parts of Western Europe, this kind of certainty and unanimity about freedom — simple freedom — as a first principle can be discouragingly hard to come by. The blogger Frank Martin has written about a teenage tour guide at a World War II battlefield in the Netherlands who told him that the Allied soldiers who fell there had been “fighting for bridges, how silly that they would all fight for something like that.” Somebody like that boy, who didn’t grasp that those soldiers had died for the very freedom that he had taken for granted his whole life, is incapable of standing up for freedom against Islamofascism.

So depressing.

Europe's capitulation to Islam is quite plain at this point, but it's a resultant, not a primary. We need to know the cause, or causes, so they can be watched for, detected, and eliminated here, in North America, before they can do to us what they've done to Europe.

Too much fat tends to close one's eyes, you know. Sad.
