Default The Future is Muslim, European or American

I read this article at another BB, prepared to answer it, but gave up. It�s just so far away of my reality that I dont know where to start, and what angle to take.

Townhall? What kind of publication is that?

But there are now three ideologies competing to shape the future of mankind. They are militant Islam, Western European secularism and socialism, and American Judeo-Christianity and capitalism. The first is being spread both peacefully and violently, the second is being spread peacefully, and the third is not being spread.
::cough:: Iraq ::cough:: I thought the US culture and capitalism was expanding fast. That's how much i know.

Quote:
Western European socialists and their American (and Canadian, and Latin American) supporters are as passionate about secularism and socialism as believing Muslims are about Islam. And they want to dominate the world as much as militant Muslims want Islam to
We do? Why did not anyone tell me this? Am I a socialist? I�m confused.

Quote:
But the American way can only prevail if Americans believe in it. That is why, as important as the military and ideological battles against militant Islam are, the most important battle is the ideological one within America. But with America's universities, unions, professional associations, mainstream news media, and one of its two major parties ideologically aligned with Europe, and with big businesses constantly undermining Judeo-Christian values, the battle within America itself for America's unique values is far from won. And given that only America offers a viable alternative to both militant Islam and secularism/socialism, if we lose the battle here, humanity has a very dark future.
