Western Culture is Better

Geert Wilders is one politician who is tired of pretending that western culture is on the same level as primitive religious cultures that advocate "honour killings", "bloody jihad religious wars", and the universally bloody and intolerant borders of Islam. Wilders feels it is time for someone to state publicly that western culture is better--before the west surrenders unconditionally to the barbarians.

Having his own party liberates Mr. Wilders to speak his mind. As he sees it, the West suffers from an excess of toleration for those who do not share its tradition of tolerance. "We believe that -- 'we' means the political elite -- that all cultures are equal," he says. "I believe this is the biggest disease today facing Europe. . . . We should wake up and tell ourselves: You're not a xenophobe, you're not a racist, you're not a crazy guy if you say, 'My culture is better than yours.' A culture based on Christianity, Judaism, humanism is better. Look at how we treat women, look at how we treat apostates, look at how we go with the separation of church and state. I can give you 500 examples why our culture is better."

He acknowledges that "the majority of Muslims in Europe and America are not terrorists or violent people." But he says "it really doesn't matter that much, because if you don't define your own culture as the best, dominant one, and you allow through immigration people from those countries to come in, at the end of the day you will lose your own identity and your own culture, and your society will change. And our freedom will change -- all the freedoms we have will change."

The murder of van Gogh lends credence to this warning, as does the Muhammad cartoon controversy of 2005 in Denmark....It is difficult to fault Mr. Wilders's impassioned defense of free speech. And although the efforts to silence him via legal harassment have proved far from successful, he rightly points out that they could have a chilling effect, deterring others from speaking out. _WSJ

Muslims disagree violently with any culture they come into contact with. They clearly do not understand the concept of religious tolerance--preferring instead to divide the world into the "house of Islam" and the "house of war." In other words, it is their religious duty to make war with anyone or anything who is not "Islam", as interpreted by their own sect of Islam. That is why even within Islam itself, muslims are killing each other.

No place on Earth is completely safe from muslim extremism, since muslim terrorism and murder takes place everywhere, in every country, on every continent. Europe is particularly vulnerable, since European women have chosen not to give birth to the next generation of Europeans. This anti-natalist stance forces governments to import workers from the third world in order to attempt to keep the national economies going, so that the huge pension and welfare benefits can be paid.

The same anti-natalist dynamic is occurring in Russia and Canada, as well as Europe, but it is in Europe where the confrontation between third world Islam and first world western culture is most acute.
