The Wrath of Western Tribalism

[It seemed a good idea to post this again. It's been too long. I first posted it in 2006]

I have been saying for some time that Muslims are unclear on the concept of "Western Tribalism". By which I mean, when the shit comes down, and white westerners decide enough is enough and go "tribal", Islam may very well be finished.

For the moment, everyone in the West is still trying hard to believe that their are millions of innocent and moderate Muslims that do not want to kill us all. But the Jihadists get more bold, continue their attacks, push and probe and propagandize and force "conversions" and the elusive "moderate Muslims" are nowhere to be found. Like any insane, divorced-from-reallity fanatic, the Jihadists will go too far, and when they do, the worm will turn, and they will be faced with an enraged West: a monster of fury and power and determination and mercilessness and weapons the likes of which they have never imagined in their worst nightmares. Their little neighborhood gangland tactics will be pinpricks to the Leviathan they will have spawned.

They think that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are the total of our resolve and ability, apparently. They seem not to be aware that because of our decency, we are fighting those wars with hands tied behind our backs, carefully avoiding hurting the innocent or giving too much offense to the Muslims. They are fighting those wars with everything they have, they are pouring all their manpower, propaganda, disease and psychosis into them, and we are easily matching them with a politically correct, managed, moderate, sensitive, merciful, carefully "nuanced", restrained prosecution.

They continue to imagine that this is our most terrible face. But they have seriously mistaken our nature because they mistake the modern West's enlightened kindness, tolerance and restraint for weakness. They have forgotten history and it's critical lessons.

Western people can be really efficient killers of nations, peoples and races. When enemies push too hard or go too far we "go Medieval" on 'em. And that is exactly what is going to happen to the Muslims if they continue on the road they are travelling. They imagine victory--because they are too small minded, to limited in their vision, too handicapped by cultural ignorance to understand the enemy they are making and the potential for their own doom that resides in the dark heart of the sleeping giant they taunt and awaken at their peril.

Islam, beware of the Western Tribalism that you are provoking.

I hope that it does not come down to this. It will be another world war bloodbath in which millions may die. But in the end, Islam will be obliterated. As practiced by the Jihadists, it is incompatible with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...and we simply, in the end, won't stand for it.

There is no possibility of an Islamic victory. Islam cannot "win" the war for world domination. The best Islam can hope for from this day forward is to be allowed to survive. And that can only happen before the great confrontation begins. Because once the War for Civilization is actually and true engaged by the West, it will be too late for promises, negotiations, pacts, treaties or peace. Islam's only hope of survival is reformation because the only alternative to reformation is obliteration.

Here is another article, at Big Lizards with pretty much the same message. I am comforted that I am not the only one who sees this coming...because if I'm not alone in my analysis, maybe enough other people will see it so that this terrible calamity can be avoided.
