Will the West Unite
The Fight against Jihad: Dealing with India and China
By Wolfgang Bruno
The most important task in the fight against Islamic Jihad is to reunite the West in the defense of its own civilization, which can only happen by derailing Europe’s path to Eurabia. Raphael Israeli has suggested an Alliance of Western and Democratic States, at the center of which will be the US, Canada, Israel, Australia and Western Europe. This system may sidetrack the chaotic situation in the UN today, where Islamic countries and dictatorships have too much influence. It would probably also presuppose scrapping the EU in its present form. This alliance should maintain amiable relations with the Russians. Russia under Putin is hardly a model democracy, and its own Great Power ambitions may sometimes make it an unpredictable ally. However, the Russians will probably end up on the right side in the struggle against Islam, in the interest of self-preservation if nothing else. With collapsing non-Muslim birth rates and significant Muslim minorities, the survival of Russian culture is at stake. The alliance should also forge ties with non-Western democracies.
Robert Spencer has called India our partner against Jihad, and suggests that India can and should be working side-by-side with us in this great struggle for freedom and human rights. Democratic India, which has suffered from Jihad for centuries, is in many ways our natural ally. It does, however, also have its problems. Historian N.S. Rajaram has explained how the wounds inflicted by centuries of Islamic rule on a large segment of the Indian intelligentsia and the political class have been so debilitating that they continue to live in a state of constant fear. Muslims in India make up about 150 million people, and their growth rate exceeds those of Hindus and Sikhs. Combined with the populations of Bangladesh and Pakistan, non-Muslims could be a minority on the Indian subcontinent by mid-century. Muslims still consider India to be “unfinished business”, which is why the Saudi royal family has cleared plans to construct 4,500 Islamic madrasas in South Asia. This dhimmi-fear of Islamic unrest explains why non-Muslim India was the first country to ban Salman Rushdie’s book “the Satanic Verses.” It is important that Indians get to know the full scale of Islamic atrocities on their continent, through books such as "Negationism in India - Concealing the record of Islam" by Koenraad Elst and "Indian Muslims - Who Are They" by K.S. Lal. MORE

Regarding Wolfgang Bruno's suggestion to unite in a fight against the barbarians, there are parallel thoughts produced by former US Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird (SecDef in Nixon admin when Henry Kissinger was SecState). Laird says more use of US alliances is a must. He mentions NATO. Note that Japan and Israel hold an affiliation with NATO and France is back in military NATO (less nuclear).
The above links to Melvin Laird's Iraq-Vietnam comparison article in the current Nov-Dec 05 issue of Foreign Affairs Magazine.
Bruno addresses a point needing more exposure. The UN is part of the problem in fighting the barbarians. Don't forget UNIFIL - UN Interim Forces in Lebanon and how they serve as an adjunct to Hezbollah.
Wolfgang Bruno presents some sound ideas that definitely need to be acted upon. Just think if the fearful Spain has to make a decision on joining the fight or remaining on the sidelines - with NATO membership issues looming. Ditto for Norway.
Bruno has my support.
Kol tuv,
