Islam: The West's 'Most Formidable and Persistent Enemy'
By Raymond Ibrahim

At the height of Western dominance over Islam in the early twentieth century, the European historian Hilaire Belloc (b. 1870) made a remarkably prescient observation that may have seemed exaggerated at the time:

    Millions of modern people of the white civilization -- that is, the civilization of Europe and America -- have forgotten all about Islam. They have never come in contact with it. They take for granted that it is decaying, and that, anyway, it is just a foreign religion which will not concern them. It is, as a fact, the most formidable and persistent enemy which our civilization has had, and may at any moment become as large a menace in the future as it has been in the past” (from Belloc’s The Great Heresies, emphasis added).

Go to France, Sweden, or London and say that.
Or just try Dearborn or Minneapolis...

More persistent?  How can you tell? The Muslims have been trying to destroy the West for the past 1440 years, "liberals", meaning the pack of Rousseauian poseurs who stole the name from us (yes what American conservatives defend used to be called "liberalism" -- still is in Australia), have only been at it for about the past 230 years.
