The Fall Of The Existing Order
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."...Edmond Burke
President Obama dismisses the notion that the "existing order" sic the West can fall to fundamentalist Islam. Citing that most Muslims are good and honest men. However Hitler never had the support of the majority of Germans in his seizing of power for it was as Burke said that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Thus the minority hijacked a nation and by the same token a minority can hijack a religion.
It is that minority religious viewpoint that must be called out and dealt with, not only by the Western powers in an act of self preservation but by Islam itself. For if Islam accedes to the fundamentalist viewpoint as the Germans did to Fascism then they have co opted the ideal and are as guilty as fundamentalist.
