The West is self-destructing on a silver platter of political correctness and atonement for past sins. Shelby Steele, a senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, explains why Islam is winning its war against the West. I’ve never seen it described so well.
"Today we in the West are reluctant to use our full military might in war lest we seem imperialistic; we hesitate to enforce our borders lest we seem racist; we are reluctant to ask for assimilation from new immigrants lest we seem xenophobic; and we are pained to give Western Civilization primacy in our educational curricula lest we seem supremacist. Today the West lives on the defensive, the very legitimacy of our modern societies requiring constant dissociation from the sins of the Western past—racism, economic exploitation, imperialism and so on."
