Western Civilization Awakes From Its Slumber | Clarion Project
DP Daniel Pipes Dr. Daniel Pipes is president of the Middle East Forum.

Victor Orbán’s landslide electoral victory on Sunday, gaining 134 seats out of 199 in Hungary’s parliament, increases his governing supermajority and endorses his tough policy of excluding illegal immigrants, especially from the Middle East. His success dramatizes a new reality across Europe and in Australia: a novel kind of party has emerged, disturbing the political scene and arousing impassioned debate.

Examples of this phenomenon include the other three members of the Visegrád group (Poland, Czechia, and Slovakia) as well as Austria’s four-month old government. Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, sees western Europe following the Visegrád group: “In the Eastern part of Europe, anti-Islamification and anti-mass migration parties see a surge in popular support. Resistance is growing in the West, as well.”

In France, the National Front emerged as the second strongest party in last year’s presidential elections, in Italy, a muddled situation could lead to an Orbán-like government, while Cory Bernardi’s Conservatives and Pauline Hanson’s One Nation have made their mark on the Australian scene. Indeed, like-minded parties have quickly become a significant force in some twenty countries.

Pipes makes some good points.  I like the term "civilizationist".

Yes, that's a good term. 'Populist,' 'nationalist,' et al, are negatively loaded terms.

Call them "civilizationalist".
Call them "populist".
Call them "nationalist".
Call them whatever you wish.

Years ago, I predicted that it was the far right -- and ONLY the parties of the "far" right -- that would be able to fight off islam with a chance of winning.

And this is what's happening.

I don't care -how- "far right" they may be -- even if that means that such parties behave in ways that would normally be called authoritarian and draconian.

Such actions are going to be required to save Western Europe, if it is to be saved.

In this case, the means are justified by the end -- that "end" being that Western Europe survives AS "Western Europe", and islam is defeated there, by whatever means are required to do so.

Before you come back at me with the statement "the ends are never justified by the means", stop and realize that Western Europe ALREADY drove out islam in as brutal a method as possible previously in its history. That's why Western Europe -- and "Western civilization" -- exists TODAY.

If that civilization is to continue to exist into the future, it must repeat that history once more...

Viewed remarks by Jordan Peterson concerning Islam. He said he had "problems" with the fact, the founder was an expansionist military leader.

Understated, and true.
