By and large, the conservatives have dropped the ball on Islamic jihad. This has been made painfully clear by the lack of a leader on the right who speaks to and takes up the fight against the sweeping Islamization of America. America has no Geert Wilders.Geller, along with Robert Spencer, Andrew Bostom and Daniel Pipes is one of the more realistic of the conservatives writing on Islam. But she has never advocated before for a national leader to combat the Islamic take-over. Could she be reading this blog?
But, more to the point, these writers spend almost every day (sometimes several times a day) writing about jihad, sharia, honor killings and the myriad of horrors that Islam is bringing to the West. Geller says she's been doing this since 2005. What made her wait so long to make this recommendation? I have been writing my side-blog Our Changing Landscape since last September, and I almost immediately realized that writing about, or more precisely describing, the problem wasn't enough.
Perhaps that is the curse of writers. It takes so much energy for them to forumlate the words on paper, that they are unable to pull the meanings out and act on them in concrete ways.
Of course, in my short post a couple of days ago titled "What to do about it," I presented concrete ideas and my own humble plan of action. Geller, a seasoned writer, who should be able to come up with the who, what, where, when and how, was unable to do this.
Just words, again. Just words.
