VFR: "The end of Islam is the absolute submission of the West to Islam, while the end of liberalism is the absolute submission of the West to Islam."

View From The Right

The ultimate proof of the VFR view of liberalism

Conservative Swede, who’s been on a roll lately, writes:

Bjorn Staerk, the Bushite Norwegian blogger, was tough on fighting terrorists in his “war blog” in the years after 9/11, thereby gaining much popularity among American blog readers. But when people such as Fjordman suggested that Islam was the problem rather than Islamism, it displeased Bjorn Staerk’s universalist creed.
And last year he wrote:
“Brave is sitting down calmly on a plane behind a row of suspicious-looking Arabs, ignoring your own fears, because you know those fears are irrational, and because even if there’s a chance that they are terrorists, it is more important to you to preserve an open and tolerant society than to survive this trip. Brave is insisting that Arabs not be searched more carefully in airport security than anyone else, because you believe that it is more important not to discriminate against people based on their race than to keep the occasional terrorist from getting on a plane.” [Emphasis added.]
Now how have I defined modern liberalism? As the belief that non-discrimination is the highest and ruling value of society. And here is that belief wrought to its uttermost. For Bjorn Staerk, non-discrimination is higher than life, it is higher than the duty to stop murder, it is higher than the duty to protect the innocent, it is higher than right and wrong, it is higher than the survival of society itself.
Non-discrimination is God, a god who allows no other values to co-exist with himself, a god who is absolutely supreme and alone.
He or it is, indeed, a god much like Allah.
The god of liberalism is revealed as the twin of the god of Islam. With the important difference that the end of Islam is the absolute submission of the West to Islam, while the end of liberalism is the absolute submission of the West to Islam.
Just as I said in my 2005 article at FrontPage Magazine, “Islam and the Liberal West: The Fatal Complementarity”:
In resurgent Islam the liberal West has met its fate. Islam is a non-Western religion set on conquering and converting non-Muslims, while liberalism is a Western ideology set on tolerating and including non-Westerners. They are predators, we are prey. MORE…

For those interested in the discussions I had with Fjordman, about the role of Christian ethics, I invite you to read my blog: Conservative Swede. Is Christian ethics truly a major force behind the suicide of our civilization?
