Until Western liberals (and that includes the Jews) understand what is at stake and take action, the West itself will totter on the brink of extinction. And by the West I refer to the liberal freedom based order which is virtually unheard of in all history but which we seem to think is the natural order of things. What you call "indigenous" peoples of Europe will not go to their own destruction without a fight. The West will fight back. But the main casualty may be liberal democracy.
I have been accused many times by many people for being islamophobic. I posit just like Jabotinsky 100 years ago that in fact I am not. I believe that each of us Jews should read the Koran. I also believe that we in the West fail to understand the depth of influence that Islamic teachings have for the umma. Whether Arabs are home or out in the world there is a pervasiveness of religion in their culture and that religion’s professed hatred for Jews will prove fatal for us whether we’re home or in the diaspora.

It’s all very discouraging. The current atmosphere of the left makes it impossible to raise these issues.
