Tres raons per preocupar-se

Daniel Pipes apunta tres raons per les quals Occident pot perdre la guerra contra el totalitarisme islamista: el pacifisme, l'autoodi i l'autosatisfacció.

Pacifism, self-hatred and complacency are lengthening the war against radical Islam and causing undue casualties. Only after absorbing catastrophic human and property losses will left-leaning Westerners likely overcome this triple affliction and confront the true scope of the threat. The civilized world will likely then prevail, but belatedly and at a higher cost than need have been.

Should Islamists get smart and avoid mass destruction, but instead stick to the lawful, political, non-violent route, and should their movement remain vital, it is difficult to see what will stop them.
