I’m currently in the middle of a module called Peace and Security. I’m reading about different kinds of threats to the state, societies and individuals. Intriguing stuff.
And today, I listened to a radio documentary from the Swedish Radio. They were interviewing politicians in the US. A politician in Tennessee said that the US had to start taking the threat from the Muslims in the United States more seriously. That if they didn’t do anything NOW, Islam would take over completely.
The “immigration sceptics” in Sweden say exactly the same thing, as do the corresponding movements all over Europe. And I’m just, WHAT THE FUCK?
What has first Europe and now the US been doing for hundreds of years? Spreading Christianity, western civilization, liberal capitalism, the English language all over the world. The way of the American man has become an ideal across the globe through Hollywood. Litterarily NOWHERE can you escape Coca Cola and McDonald’s.
So no. Islam is not The Expansionist. We already have another reigning world order. I really shouldn’t be surprised that there are so many idiots in the world. But still, it hits me like a slap in the face every time. Evolution has given humankind reason. A surprising amount of people seem to lack the ability to use it. Or they’re just lazy.
Here I am. The grumpy old man again. I guess I’ll just have to accept it.
