(The following is the continuation of what I said in my user page:)

...or what Geert Wilders says in the same website about how the West is committing suicide with its multiculturalist approach to Islam. (Robert Spencer’s defense of Wilders is viewable as well, as is Pamela Geller’s interview.) The “clash of psychoclasses” has been discussed in the talk page. For a more conventional critique see Who’s Sleeping More Deeply — Europe or America? by Bruce Bawer or this article by Pascal Bruckner, and the section of Paul Berman’s long article in The New Republic after the first mention to Ayaan Hirsi Ali: an heroic woman who truly deserves a Taj Mahal if something ever happens to her...

"While Sweden Slept" - this piece of journalism and the readers' debate is an eye-opener in line of what Roland Huntford wrote in The New Totalitarians, a study of Swedish socialism.

While the prolific writer Robert Spencer could be an antidote for this generalized blindness, he's not being taken seriously. Spencer wrote:


And in his FAQ page he stated:


The film Islam: What the West Needs to Know explains fairly what do we mean. (What Martin Gilbert said in the section "The Culture of Denial" in this video is also relevant.)
