The irony is that history may well be on Islam’s side with or without violent tactics. “I don’t think there’s any need for Islamists to be killing and terrorising people — even though such behaviour is sanctioned in the Koran, no matter what people say,” Selbourne says. “Islam is advancing willy nilly as a moral force, whether you like that moral force or not.”

For Selbourne, the fragmentation of western society has left it intensely vulnerable to a challenge of this nature. “We used to have an animating idea,” he points out. “It used to be a belief in civil society and community. We’re dismantling the social order in which Muslims so firmly believe in their own society.”

Freemarketeers/freetraders on the right, militant secularists on the left, both groups work in tandem chipping at the roots of Christian civilisation.

They create a vacuum, ready to be filled from outside.

I know there are times these three (free-marketeers, secular left, and Islamo-Fascism) groups might oppose each other but as you put it, they are working together to destroy Western civilization in a de facto way. I know myself, I've made the same points in the past that if I never knew about Christianity or I was drifting out there with no aim but still upset at the lost of commonsense, morality and loss of the life I knew, Islam would appeal to persons like me. I thank God (pun intended) that I do know of Him and try my best to live a clean life and trust in Him, but there are aimless people out there who need to know His word and not go towards radical Islam. Islam does have certain appeal to disaffected people with little or no influence, direction in life or just plain upset in general, think of what is going on here in our prisons.

As you eluded to, nature abhores a vacuum and when that happens, something will fill it.
