Michael,

I say that given the ubiquity of fissile material on the black market, a massive strike is inevitable. I'm almost certain one will happen in Los Angeles as well. If they don't use a nuke, they'll use some sort of chemical agent which is easy to manufacture. An American chemist named 'Uncle Fester' has printed a manual on how to manufacture ricin, for example. The ricin formula he generated was used in the Tokyo subway attacks, but done incorrectly. I think Al Qaeda will succeed with something like that as well. They've stated they want to acquire WMDs.

Otherwise, Europe is known for big turns to the right when the elites feel threatened enough. I just hope it doesn't happen too late.

PRCalDude,

It is certainly true that there are plenty of wannabe Jihadis out there ready to do their bit for the 'Ummah'. These attacks will continue to 'shock' the people of Europe for the forseeable future. However, it would take a massive strike of the nature that you have mentioned before we see some sort of sea change in the Liberalism gripping much of Europe.

For me, the likelihood of an attack happening that is shocking enough to change the way that the whole of Europe deals with Islam, is decidedly slim.

My point is that if the current political system continues unabated, the 'slow jihad' doesn't even need to wait until the demographic situation changes. Instead, they can win a myriad of concessions (perhaps even de facto Islamic mini-states) through the system's obsession with 'minority rights'.

Michael,

I'm not quite so sure that there will be no violent reaction to the Islamification of Europe. Mark Steyn even suggested that not every European would go quietly into the night. The biggest argument in Islamist circles these days is whether to use the slow jihad (working through demographics and the political process) or the fast one (violence).

The thing is, jihadists just can't help themselves. Only those who die 'fighting in the way of Allah' are guaranteed heaven and their virgins. Those who practice slow jihad are not. Consider the Muslim mindset: life is a living hell because of sexual repression and Islamic mind control. The only guaranteed chance of heaven is through jihad. Islamic heaven is a teenage boy's and a young man's dream: virgins, young boys with 'faces like pearls' for your gay jihadist, rivers of wine, all the water you can drink. The temptation is just too great, and waiting around for 20-30 years for things to take their course isn't very exciting, is it?

No. There will be a couple of serious WMD attacks and then we'll see. If there's no reaction to a million or so people dying, then I will say that the West will not fight back under any circumstances. But I can't see the leaders of our respective countries wanting to get themselves nuked anymore than we do.

PRCalDude,

The only reason I enabled comment moderation was because of spammers. As they don't seem to be bothering me anymore I will take it down now.

Michael,

Can you undo the comment moderation? I think it would facilitate better discussion. This article has far-reaching implications that I'd like to flesh out with as many as possible.

I don't hold out much hope for the U.S. either. If you need to emigrate and can't get permission, Michael, I'll personally smuggle you across the southern border. Good post.

I agree that the Islamification of Europe has to be put to a stop, and the first step to this is ceasing all inward immigration. However, should the Tories loose the next election, I very much immigration will even be stunted let alone halted completely.

The real problem is the lack of any kind of strong shared national culture capable of resisting Islamification and soaking up new arrivals on our shores.
