A More Redeemable Post at Gates of Vienna - But Not Quite There Yet

After my previous posts on Dymphna's reactions to inane comments made by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, which I still think are embedded in Dymphna's psyche and something that needs working out, Baron Bodissey has a post on rounding up the various "Counter-Jihad" groups. It is clear that there are many perspectives and many proposed solutions to the problems, and the comments on that post display such an array of ideas.

I think that the time for discussion is over. The immediate problem is clear:

- How to reduce the number of Muslims that are already in our countries so they do not continue to influence the directions of our societies.

- How to eradicate (or reduce as much as possible) the Muslim stronghold that has already taken place.

I am beginning to form the opinion that writers are just all about talk. They love to discuss options, possibilities, wrong moves, right perspectives, historical precedents, prophecies on the future, the many variations of Islam, their moderate Muslim friends. But their actions seem limited to attending meetings and joining-up with their international co-bloggers and writers, and founding a society here or an association there.

It is time to propose concrete actions, clear strategies and manageable proposals, in order to remove the problems I've listed above. I think everyone agrees on at least those two scenarios. 

Why not take the example of Geert Wilders? He constructed a clear, concise and manageable proposition. And his party has mobilized a large number of ordinary Dutch people. His heroism stems from his action. It is as simple as that. If his method works, great. If it falters, then I am sure he will come up with a different strategy.

The point is to start. Not just to talk.
