Although this is a first good step, my concern has been that Shaidle’s approach is simply a dramatic slogan, and that repeatedly posting such a statement will either go stale, or it will frustrate her readers (as I wrote in this email to her).
My suggestion to her has been that she argue her position more, showing people the practical and feasible approaches to eliminating the Muslim influence. This not only involves closing the doors on immigration, but a myriad of other steps as well (such as finding ways to reduce the already high levels of Muslims through some kind of out-migration policies).
By substantiating her slogan with concrete proposals and statements, she will have a better chance of allowing Canadians to understand the issues. Shaidle, in the past few months, has been asked to speak at numerous venues on Islam and related issues. So, her audience is bigger than those who read her blog.
I believe it is the responsibility of individuals, who have spent time studying and understanding Islam, to be as comprehensive as possible. This is not only for the benefit of the crowd which is in agreement, but for those who would benefit from well-presented and well-established information. The better the argument, the more converts.
Finally, the issues surrounding Muslims seem best solved through policies – of immigration, of multiculturalism, and even of rights and freedoms (of religion, for example). Therefore, counter-jihad groups and individuals have to consider attracting politicians and helping them to understand the issues involved, so that they can make effective policy changes such as "stopping Muslim immigration." Shaidle has an aversion for politicians, as she frequently states on her blog. But, ultimately, such a national catastrophe can only be resolved through national means.
Anarchy and grass roots can only go so far. Geert Wilders has certainly shown that movements from the ground up can end up in parliamentary halls.
