I recently wrote about my experience with the multicultural wall at the Mississauga Central Library, where I've been trying to get the authors John H. Crosby and John F. Crosby to present their recently published book My Battle Against Hitler in a conference. I wrote about this, saying:

The topic of the conference, and the presentation in the Canadiana Room [of the Mississauga Central Library] would have included World War II, and how an astute German citizen was able to discern Hitler's maneuvers before many others realized Hitler's gotterdammerung aims, and how that is relevant in our era where Christianity and the West is being undermined by another remorseless enemy, Islam. Such discussion is of paramount importance to all patrons of the library who wish to preserve the West and its sophisticated culture and civilization.

Hildebrand also realized the vicious anti-Semitism of Hitler and the Nazis, and as a parallel behavior by Muslims, we are seeing a frightening rise in anti-Semitism and anti-Israel movements amongst Muslims and Islamic countries.

Here is my perspective on the contemporary lessons we can learn from Hildebrand: The Dangers of Quietism: A Contemporary View.

Here is an article at the website The Daily Signal, which I just found out about: What America Can Learn From Europe's Attempts to Stem Growth of Islamist Ideology, and here is the astonishing part in the article:

In Germany, one of the most controversial aspects of multiculturalism, granting different treatment to different groups in society, has come to the fore in a bitter row over whether to exempt Muslim children from mandatory student visits to concentration camps to study the Holocaust.

There is a longer article on the holocaust visit exemption of Muslim students in The Jerusalem Post.

And here is the image that The Daily Signal posted with the article, showing a rear view of the Brandenburg Gate with a German lawyer in the background (here is a clearer image of the cloaks German lawyers wear) and two Muslim women dominating the photograph.


The women are wearing burqas.

The burqa covers the whole body, including the eyes, and is the most concealing veil worn by Muslim women. It has a mesh screen over the eyes so the wearer can see out. [Source]

The blue burqa has become synonymous with Taliban-era Afghanistan, one of the most repressive of the Muslims.

Here we have a photograph which shows us the most advanced of the world's cultural institution, its law, walking alongside the most repressive manifestations of another society: Islam's Sharia.

These two pass by each other, not in the backward land of the burqad woman, but in the sophisticated country of the lawyer, under a monument where the lawyers' civilization fought to free the world of such totalitarianisms as that this burqad woman brings with her.

And this lawyer, for all his sophistication, would go to his cultivated and erudite courtroom to fight that this woman keep her burqa, and everything else that comes with this blue veil.

The lawyer's secular intelligence is dwarfed by the spiritual convictions of this woman, and he will realize probably too late that in supporting her, he was participating in his, and his civilization's, demise, when she literally and metaphorically brings down his beautiful Brandenburg Gate, which even the Nazis were ultimately unable to do.
