Unfortunately, the current Spanish Prime Minister, Zapatero, seems to share the same sense of denial that the British elites do as described in Melanie Phillips’s book Londonistan, which I have talked about on “BreakPoint.” He has demonstrated open contempt for Spain’s Catholic heritage while increasingly accommodating Islamic interests. Some five hundred years after the fall of the last Islamic stronghold in Spain, his government is financing the teaching of Islam in public schools.
What’s it going to take for the West to wake up? There is a real clash of worldviews, and it’s deadly. And just like between the two great World Wars, Europe is asleep.
