A lengthy essay on the 1400-years of jihad warfare and conquests against the world.Â
But first, an exchange between a poster named ROB and Hugh Fitzgerald:
ROBÂ
Christianity may be the religion of love, freedom and reason but it will need to depend on force to defeat Islam. As soon as Islam is militarily strong enough it will engage America militarily. The west survived because of Charles Martel, the Hungarians at Vienna and the Jesuits and Capuchins who fought, yes fought, in the rigging of the ships at Lepanto. I have no hope for Europe and its an even money bet (at best) for America.

“Christianity may be the religion of love, freedom and reason but it will need to depend on force to defeat Islam.”– from ROB’s comment
Yes. I like to remind people of what Vladimir Nabokov said, addressing a rally at Wellesley College in the middle of World War II — a “Why We Fight” rally. This is what he said:Â
“Morally, democracy is invincible. Physically, that side will win which has the better guns.”
That’s what counts: who is more powerful, militarily powerful. Moral superiority can only get you so far. You need to have better guns, tanks, planes, missiles,, and the hard-headed willingness to use them, as a supplement to otherwise dividing and demoralizing the Camp of Islam. There are so many things to be done, but it requires superior strength, including superior military strength.

To be fair, the rally was in favor of human rights v/s Islamic supremacism:
