Perhaps it's not simply ideological failings, but rather it is a belief that everyone can be saved, or converted to the *modern* way of living that has led to the problems that are occurring across the globe. However, as today's attacks in Paris have shown, there are some differences that cannot be bridged, no matter how many olive branches are extended. The time has come to acknowledge this.
It is also past time for world leaders, and particularly those who are in positions of authority on the world stage to stand up and state
This is enough. We draw the line in the sand here, and if you choose to cross it, we will crush you. We will wipe every single man and woman off the face of the planet who seeks to disrupt and destroy our way of life. We will not be overthrown, we will not be overcome. We are who we are, you may accept that, or you may die trying to change it, but that is your choice.The time for pretending that there can be a coming together of the minds to solve the divide between the West and Islamic terrorists is gone. Attacks continue on a daily basis in Israel, yet the press portrays Israel as the bad guys. A *refugee crisis* was manufactured, much the same way it was in the U.S., which has allowed unknown amounts of terrorists and potential terrorists to enter the European mainland (to say nothing of the U.S. mainland.) Western nations continue to absorb persons who wish to bring about the demise of the West, and then sit back and wonder where the problems come from. Here's a hint: from the people who you continue to allow in to your countries, even as said people state out loud that they want to destroy your country. You should probably stop doing that if you want to continue on, and not be relegated past, failed civilizations.
The terror attacks in Paris may serve as harbinger for Western leaders, but it may not. In the moment, France's President Francois Holland has taken a hard line approach, closing all borders to his country, he has imposed a curfew, shut the city down, and put the military in the streets. Further, the government has the right under the state of emergency declared to control the media, and enter private homes. This is a tenuous step, because a free people will tolerate such action for only so long, but it is a step that is necessary to help bring the situation under control in the moment.
Unfortunately, merely cleaning up the mess from this latest terrorist attack is not going to solve the problem. What needs to occur is something that the people of Europe (or the U.S., for that matter) may not be all that interested in doing: fully repel the Muslim invasion, and if need be, eliminate any who would pose a threat to the Western way of life. What is needed at this moment is a leader as charismatic as Winston Churchill, with the gumption of George W. Bush. Failing that, perhaps we could put some money in to resurrecting Charles Martel, who knows a little something about repelling a Muslim invasion.
If not, the future pages of history books will be written by those seeking to overcome us through any and all means. To preserve the Western way of life, any and all resources must be put in to defending our basic rights.
