Often I have the wish that modern observer-commentators on the clash between the West and the Scimitar might have a greater -- or some -- understanding of Girard's mimetic theory. Take Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, for example. He reports most ably on what mimetic theory sees as the deconstructive power of the primitive Sacred: it deludes the human mind into believing ”our” innocence and "their" evil and sub-human status,, worthy of expelling and extermination. John Zmirak gives a poignant eulogy for the recent victim of such "righteous" violence, Archbishop of Mosul, Paulos Faraj Raho.
Thing is, you see, the Christ-haunted West politicos (EU mandarins and naive progressive Americans) cling tenaciously to a mere wisp of the Catholic Church's truth and teaching while excluding all her other claims regarding truth, morals, and ethics; namely, a preening relativistic tolerance of all, albeit with no belief in a self-revealing God, moral and natural Law. Coupled to this soft core philosophical nihilism is an unacknowledged return to pagan worship of the instincts and explicit pansexual bestiality. This leaves the West in a most precarious position facing a foe armed with an extremely sharp Scimitar that is thoroughly convinced and convicted of its deity's demand to extend Dar al-Islam to cover the planet. All it can stand on is a rickety one-legged pedestal of multicultural political correctness. One swipe by the Scimitar, and the remnants of Christendom will fall into a new era of subservience and dhimmitude.
When will the leaders of the West awaken and stop giving away the store?
