“The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims”
edited by Andrew G. Bostom M.D

This is a substantial, well written, and extensively footnoted work, one which primarily uses material from Islamic sources to lay out the unapologetic actions of Islam and Muslims against all of us “unbelievers.”

It is instructive to note that on Amazon this book has only 84 reviews, while the several books lauding Islam and Muhammad by Karen Armstrong–hard to avoid when looking through any bookstore–have cumulatively many thousands of Amazon reviews.

Why — and how strange it is to have to say — there’s a very large component of the extant political crisis standing right there in plain (albeit horribly unseen) sight.

Such, however, is the degenerated state of education in America, if not in the west in general. In the most important matters reckonable from a political perspective we simply do not know what it is we do not know! Nor make any attempt, therefore, to seek that knowledge out. It’s a shame to us.

Facilitating this lack of defense of the West is an educational system which fails to valorize and teach the true history of the West and it’s true accomplishments, and which, at the same time, presents a false, a prettied up picture–just leaves out the true history and “bad parts”–and covers up the true nature of Islam.

The books which lay out the true history and nature of Islam have been written and are there to be read, but these are not the books that those who–if they even make the effort–are trying to get an understanding of Islam are usually directed to by our “educators.”

Today’s men are products of today’s culture, with Christianity a waning force–one no longer anywhere as pervasive or strong as it once was–and the use of violence is supposedly a bad thing; an era of double standards, one for us in the West, another for Muslims and other enemies of the West, an era of doubt rather than of certainty.

The root of all this is education.

The only way to reverse things is to take back our educational institutions, and that is very likely the work of generations, time which we just do not have.

Well first, it seems to me that the Christian religion, faith, worldview, orientation, and rigor which motivated and sustained their ancestors was gradually weakened, and is now apparently no longer really a force to be reckoned with in some parts of Europe.

The pillar around which everything was organized and which formerly supported them is just gone.

Paralleling this, European native’s “civilizational confidence” was first undermined and then destroyed by an educational system and MSM which taught them that no civilization/culture was superior to any other; all civilizations were of equal worth.

However, Western civilization–all of its heroes frauds and their actions dishonorable–a civilization based on conquest, colonialism, and plunder–was actually inferior to all others, which were much more “authentic” and virtuous.

Thus, many of today’s Europeans have apparently been brainwashed–taught/do not see their individual nations, or Western civilization itself, as worth defending.

And this same process is underway here in the U.S.

Yes indeed, and it was to keep wages low and reduce the political power of labor. A worker “shortage” is always code for “at the wage I’m willing to offer I can’t get enough people”.

Now there can be some trades or professions where it takes years to gain enough experience or education to be able to do the job, and a shortage is hard to relieve by paying more, but this isn’t who they meant when they were complaining of “shortages” and the need for immigrants and guest workers.
