The obtuse a-historical refusal to finally learn that Arabs only understand force and strength, interpreting accommodations as weakness, has caused much death and suffering. The only " don't " of value is one clearly expressed to wannabe Muslim invaders and terrorists, national or tribal.
The Democratic Party is finished. Moral inversion has been its greatest mental corruption sin.
Not clear and perhaps not even true is the assumption that what animates the West's aptly named " Suicidal Empathy" is guilt. The West largely believed that Jesus died for their guilt and their sins .This liberated them from much of perhaps exaggerated blame or accountability. Suicide is a very serious statement, a self-inflicted capital punishment, if guilt is the cause, and this rarely happens. Despair more often does lead to suicide.
The West's despair derives from two factors: a profound cognitive dissonance which it cannot harmonically resolve- that democracy and Muslim demographics will eventually surrender continents to Islam, and that if the tide can at all be arrested it will take new wars or the acceptance of anti-democratic measures.
The second tender spot is
that the West, inheriting from Israel and as per Christianity's DNA, yet against its newly revealed still savage evolutionary early stage, is obligated to " love their neighbour".
It cannot dare even dislike the problematic neighbor.
In this sense " empathy " is an apt denomination.
Add to that exhaustion from world wars, hot or cold, a serious lack of education and the devastating brain erasing and erosion resulting from over-information and technological substitution.
Ideologically, it is true that mis-named "progressives " ( they are " regressives " as they ally themselves with totalitarian Islam) have indoctrinated an entire generation in the contempt for their own culture and freedom, a despicable action that happened on our watch.
I often look at the UK and the EU and consider the fate of the USA and its growing experiment with multiculturalism. The view from across the pond advises me that that those of us who have gown up with Judeo-Christian values , the Declaration and the Constitution are incompatible with those who are deeply steeped in their own faith, culture, and laws. Essentially we are incompatible. For the most part, America is made of lovers of Israel, and American Jews. We seriously have to consider our own ( who include Jews for the last century) as primarily part of the American experiment. It is possible for Muslims to embrace America as home. But I believe we at some point need to evaluate how they adapt and understand we may not get what we have received from every other ethnicity.
Julian, this is a terrific summary and synopsis. I enjoy your segments on kilmead's radio show. You are a straight shooter for which there is much need and little supply. What I especially like is that it is long on facts and limited on opinions.

Excellent piece.
Some simple facts:
Obama's Muslim sympathies were manifold.
This clouded his judgment.
Trump gets it.

Fluent description of reality.
