            An adverse theory, even if attested a thousand times over, will never find favour with those it disowns. And yet, there are without doubt certain parallels to be found in Ayn Rand’s contempt for altruism and self-sacrifice; for any form of surrender thus understood, is an extremely defeatist conviction - if not, in truth, an unconditional  acceptance of some of the most regressive cultural practices still exercised by a number of our troglodyte co-civilizationists. How do you reconcile archaic Islamic doctrine with modern notions of human rights, including freedom of speech, freedom of association and female emancipation? Every other religious founder, it has been said, reacted against violence; Muhammad practiced it. "War was an instrument of his spiritual purpose!" Indeed, no one has ever won an argument by saying "submit", but, undoubtedly, because of the nature and centrality of its divine authorship, Islam “will continue to be resistant to secularization.” 
          Intolerant, intransigent, bereft of spirituality, dogmatic to the point of brutality, shorn of a gracious God and demanding unremitting submission, it stands between

death and oblivion. Religiousness is a trait of the soul, but Islam is a doctrine. Its religious and political functions, - practical as well as legislative - are intertwined. And nowhere is this more evident than in the gulf between the two hemispheres thus expressing themselves. In the event, there has been no other instance, to date, of one ethos paying to another, long since superannuated,  such deference in matters of religion as ours has paid to the Islamic. Indeed, it is a western conceit, that our culture may continue to absorb an apparently endless stream of Islamic immigration, while scarcely heeding the fact that the vastly more humanitarian and democratic ethos of the Caucasian West falls victim to its occupiers. For to sit down with a succession of human anachronisms that are testing and probing the will of the West and deal with them as representatives of enlightened and equal cultures, is to deny one’s own, if not to invite the calamities their indulgence will bring upon it.

            In fact, one can hardly imagine a greater tragedy for the West and the free world than the debacle of running down our own civilization for the benefit of those archaic cultural traditions which demonstrate the intolerable consequences to  humanity of the surrender of will much more compellingly than they ever proclaim the nobility of ‘the  tribute that power pays to reason’. But astonishingly, it is a tribute - indeed a doctrine - that remains a central tenet of the post-colonial cult of victimhood in the West. Never before has an indigenous intellectual ethic  been so comprehensively penetrated. In actual fact, if the politically correct revolution can absorb the seats of academic power, the problem of decline is coming close to the attrition of something that ultimately exists in the inner soul and constitution of the State. And in this respect the post-modern West is clearly unrepresentative of the spirit of evolutionary vitality and masculine virility such as the rise of the great Western Empires exhibited in the course of their irresistible progression.
