I really do feel the sh*t's gonna hit the fan on this one. It's shapin' up. I've never known anything like this. It'll go so far, then something will snap. I'm of a firm belief that a revolution now and then is cool. It's like society's pressure cooker. However. I really don't think our mass culture; the West's way of life - our traditions, norms, values, beliefs, ideals, customs, attitudes and principles have ever been under such a threat ever before. Not even via Communism.
What REALLY gets me about all this is WE currently have the upper hand (with the balance of power). And I can see this being eroded. (not so) slowly but surely.
IF I wanted to go to Iran or Syria, and I demanded benefits, a house, free health care, and wanted to build churches and spread Christianity...and at the same time I demanded of Syria that everything religious they do (showing flags, holding school plays, etc) offended me, do you really think they'd say "Oh hey everyone. We're offending Art. Let's stop this and completely alter our way of life. We'll take down our national flag as it may offend him. We'll stop our traditions". Oh yeah you can see that. And let's add one more fact to this. If I also then preached openly on the streets, of striking down the infidels who were housing me, providing me with money etc...Just as we've had here in Britain in Finchley. Oh man...when you look at it...?
