German police have arrested three Al-Qaeda affiliated Islamic terrorists, plotting to attack American citizens and interests in Germany and Frankfurt airport. If successful, these attacks would have resulted in the large-scale loss of innocent lives. Germany is a country which has consistently voiced opposition to US and British foreign policy, most notably in Iraq. Its presence in Afghanistan is in a non-combat role, where its troops, deployed in the quiet north of the country, are meant to aid reconstruction and are confined to their bases during the hours of darkness. The German state has long been home to a large Muslim Turkish population, who have lived there in safety and prosperity. And yet the country is now the target for hard-line, uncompromising and indiscriminate Islamic terror. Despite Germany consistently cowering in the face of Muslim fundamentalism; trying to avoid dispute with the Islamic religion, it is now confronted with the reality that Islam cannot be bargained with, cannot be reasoned with and cannot be stopped. The cold truth is that the Islamic religion detests everything the western world stands for: its democracy, its libertarianism, its rights for women, its economics, its popular culture and its Judeo-Christian religions. The west has an Islamic enemy within; like a cancer, gnawing away at our civilisation, intent on taking us back 1500 years to the conception of its insipid barbarism. Deep in its philosophy, unless we pray like them, dress like them, eat like them, treat women like them and follow their grotesque prophet: our right to exist ceases. Like the Ottoman Turks with the Armenians and the Nazis with the Jews, we are considered sub-human. Unless we fight Islamism, our fate will be the same.
