Why Al-Qaeda Will Dominate the European Union
(TechCentralStation) Pavel Kohout- In a few decades, radical Islam will ultimately dominate the EU, and perhaps most of the world. It has already become a dominant force in the UN. Al-Qaeda leaders have an intellectual advantage over Western European politicians, who want to believe that there is no clash of civilizations; that terrorism is just a product of misery and lack of education; that the solution lies in a multicultural, tolerant society; and that the stubbornness of the Americans and Israelis is to blame for all the problems. This particular clash of two civilizations - the West and radical Islam - cannot be resolved the "European" way: through negotiations, efforts to reach consensus, and tolerance. The only consensus acceptable for radical Islam is its dominance in Europe. The writer is an associate of the Center for Economics and Politics in Prague.
