[N]ot only does Islam continue to exhibit its historic hostility; it continues reasserting itself all around the world—including if not especially against the West: the Taliban, an Islamic extremist group, which the U.S. spent much by the way of blood and treasure to declare victory against twenty years ago, is back in power in Afghanistan (with billions of dollars’ with of U.S. weapons to boot); Iran, which is driving by apocalyptic visions and eschatological dreams of the jihadist kind, is close to becoming an nuclear power; millions of Muslim “refugees” are flooding the West, especially Europe, where they overtly and especially covertly continue the work of their jihadist ancestors, either by engaging in bouts of thuggery, violence, and outright terrorism or, more commonly, by subverting the continent’s identity; and Christian minorities throughout the Islamic world are being oppressed and killed in ways reminiscent of the great era of Christian persecution under Rome—though the legacy media keeps all of these inconvenient facts suppressed. Everywhere the threat is real and palpable, even as a somnolent if not comatose West slumbers on.
