A moral vacuum in the west is probably not a good thing...

What is going on in Germany is just the tip of the iceberg...

Thanks to Maetenloch for this link (this is one of those read the whole thing links):

Back in the 1980s, when I first heard Christians complain about “secular humanism,” I thought they were crazy. To me, an atheist Jewish Democrat, the phrase simply meant an entire absence of faith in the public square — and wasn’t that a good thing? 

It wasn’t until I read Stephen L. Carter’s The Culture of Disbelief that I understood that lack of faith is itself a belief system, complete with a doctrine predicated on Big Government, animism, Gaia-ism, the denial of biological reality, and sexual license. Moreover, the Left is using the government itself, as well as government-funded institutions, to enforce this new religion, thereby violating the First Amendment. I therefore wish young Mr. Dorman much luck in rallying the troops — but he’s got a long, hard battle ahead of him.

And in the same Maetenloch link: Why Americans Dislike Islam (it is not Islamophobia to dislike bad things in Islamic culture).
