Caldwell's writing-and this holds true for any venue, whether it be the Weekly Standard, The Atlantic, or even his brief stint at that execrable rag, The New York Press-is beyond reproach.
Regardless of whether I agree or disagree with his opinion on any given issue, I can't gainsay the eloquence and penetrating insight with which he expresses it, and his writing on European issues and personalities, Mary Robinson, Gerhard Schroeder, French political affairs, is phenomenal.
He's right up there with Mark Steyn, in my estimation.
I totally agree, but Mark Steyn's humour he doesn't have, nor does he need it. Making it all the more difficult now for me to add my own pathetic contribution. But here goes, the last in the series...how islam winds it's way through the sewers of our history (and no one ever told us.)
Beginning with Princip as a potential 'useful idiot' for islam, the leaders of the quite possibly muslim-controlled and motivated 'revolutionary' group he belonged to, must have understood the various alliances of the period, and how it would result in a huge conflict...if the Archduke was assassinated.
Better to allow or persuade a misfit, a consumptive Christian to carry out the deed - persuade him he was striking a blow for Independence from the Austrian Empire, than have a muslim do it...islam has not, will NEVER forget it was driven back from the gates of Vienna!
Under the cover of the Great War, the Turks annihilated the Christian Armenians; that's nothing less than the usual islamic 'cleansing' of territory...which they did whilst Germany was their ally and witness.
While Hitler was in the trenches, fighting beside the Turks, imbibing muslim hatred of Jews and Christianity, learning about islam, reading from the koran...that terror manual, a collection of instructions on how to annihilate human beings. (Tie them up and burn them alive etc. That's what the Turks did to hundreds of thousands of Armenians.)
Hitler returns to Germany after the war. There is to be a brief communist government. He identifies communism with Jews. He has the enemy he needs, he has the indoctrination...he has studied the methods used by the Turks. Two world wars. For and about islam. The ideology of hatred is infectious! Hitler promises the Mufti of Jerusalem 'no Jew will leave Europe alive'

History needs a re-write. We have only touched the surface. We treat the symptoms and have no idea of the cause IMO.
