But I am saying that the degeneration of Western culture is hurrying up the process of radicalizing Islam.

What nonsense. It is precisely the success of Western culture that enrages these medievalist goons... and convinces them that they have to lash out at us now before Western Civilization completely undercuts their power and relegates their way of life to a folkway practiced by a few isolated communities in the backdunes.

It isn't nonsense. I have worked among Muslims. I have educated Muslim friends who respect me as I respect them -- and they understand that I am a devout Christian. I have traveled in Muslim countries and met the educated class who very much want to adopt the positive things from modern culture, but want to avoid the degenerate aspects. I have met Muslims who have said they look to religious Americans to show them how to do that.

These people have been dealing with horror from the Islamists a lot longer than we have. They refer to them as "those people." But they don't want their children swallowed up by the degeneracy they see in Western media.
