Light posting tonight

Spending some time thinking and remembering thoughts from five years ago. There is still a red hot coal in my gut when I think of the willful stupidity of the people who perpetuate the Islamism, the Jihad, the Islamofascism (the Mullah's reign of power is a classical form of Fascism after all - read your history). They are stuck in a cycle of fear, shame and hate and cannot will not adapt to the changes around them. To summarize Charles Darwin: Adapt or Die It is interesting to follow the history of the early Christians -- they were as bloodthirsty a group as you would ever (not) want to meet but they saw the writing on the wall (to borrow a metaphor) and reformed themselves. If you read Martin Amis' wonderful essay (posted earlier today), you can see that there is a lot of ideological cross-pollination between the Nazi, Fascist and Soviet Communism and the current crop of Islamic leaders. We are talking about a set of regimes whose sole claims to fame are over one hundred million murders and a form of government that has never operated successfully anywhere in history. This is a culture stuck in the seventh century and who thinks has the atavistic knowledge that they are the chosen people and that everyone else is grossly inferior. Am I wrong? Then why then do we have the discrepancy of Nobel Prize laureates; name one Arab technology company; where is the big Arabian Medical Center that all the rich "Princes" go to? Why is there a huge problem with Hemophilia caused by interbreeding? Why is their school system such a joke? And they blame the West...
