All Aboard!

What happens when your world view becomes Islamized? As Diana West, writing about the flotilla kerfuffle, explains, you start to think and behave like a timorous dhimmi:

...Pure and simple, this was an act of jihadist provocation, even an act of war. If the Western system were still functional, it would be Turkey called to account in the international arena, not Israel; it would be Turkey pressured to unmask itself as a fomenter of global jihad -- not Israel for defending itself against it.

If.

But the Western system no longer functions; it takes its lead from "peace activists." And so -- and this is the tragedy of Western collapse -- it is Turkey that the West appeases. There is no logic to this; there is fear. There's no morality here; only dhimmitude.

History, meanwhile, is ignored. We hide from the gravity of resurgent jihad in the Ottoman land of the last caliphate, deaf to the declarations of cultural and religious war that Erdogan, for one, has always made, from the 1970s, when he engaged in anti-Semitic agitprop with a play he wrote, directed and acted in known as "Mas-kom-Ya," an acronym for Mason, komunist (communist), and Yahudi (Jew); to the 1990s, when he invoked jihad with the lines, "the mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers"; to today, as he exhorts Turks in Europe to cultural conquest, declaring, "Assimilation is a crime against humanity."

Sounds like the call of the marauder to me. But the United States, pondering "Who lost Turkey?" plugs its ears and scapegoats Israel, or, just as fantastic, blames Europe for a vestigial self-preservation instinct that prevents it from committing demographic suicide by admitting 78 million Muslims into the union.

Anything for "peace."

Islam's "peace"? No thanks. Unlike, say, this Jewish chick, I have no desire to ride on that peace train. (h/t BCF)
