Even before the beheading of an elderly Catholic priest as he said mass in Normandy, France’s top internal security official warned that his country was on the brink of civil war.
To avoid facing eventually a similar prospect here, we must do three things:
- First, stop importing jihadists. Whatever their number, we already have too many here. We don’t need, and can’t afford to bring in more — as Europe is still doing.
- Second, we must designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization and roll up its jihadist infrastructure in America — the Sharia-adherent mosques, front groups and influence operations that encourage and often enable the Islamic supremacists efforts to destroy Western civilization.
- Third, we must seek nothing less than victory over jihad. As Ronald Reagan famously said, “There is no substitute for victory.” We cannot live with, or accept, anything less.
