Street Racing In Europe

So Islamists have struck again, blowing people to bits in Europe. The responses have been predictable, with flags at half-staff and social media festooned with sad cartoons of French and Belgian flags crying and hashtags resolving to stand firm in our resolve to mumble mumble mumble.

That last bit is the thing that leaps out at me. This is a 4-way religious war. I used to say 3-way, but this time I'm giving the Jews their own side. All the talk about "cultural confidence" is really talk about evangelization. It's hard to evangelize when your religion calls for no evangelization like the secular Euros. It's primary tenet is multicultural acceptance. If you accept another's worldview as equal to your own, you're not likely to change their mind, particularly if their worldview says you're a big time wanker.

So, using a street racing analogy, here are the four sides.

Islam is a Lamborghini. Fast, aggressive, great for picking up chicks and getting laid (without protection, of course). It oozes confidence. Everyone better get out of the way when this bad boy comes roaring up behind them. (Everyone does.)

Christianity is a Nissan. Dependable, it gets you from point A to point B. Oh sure, there are cars that are lots more popular, but soon everyone will want to get back to driving at a safe and sane speed with their hands at 9 and 3 on the wheel. Best of all, it's inoffensive.

The Jews are escaping Europe in Amphicars as fast as the little, four-wheeled toads can take them. Sure, they look like dorks and the only people that like them are other Amphicar owners, but who cares? With those crazy Lambos all over the road, it's not safe for a little Amphicar any more.

Secular Europe is a VW bus coated in peace and love symbols. Inside, the passengers are toasted out of their skulls, playing bongos and talking about deep things like crystals, natural harmonic vibrations and organic hemp. The thing barely runs because none of them know how it works, much less how to fix it. They think the Lambos are cool as they blast by, but they hate the Nissan owners because they're, like, judgmental and stuff, man. Sometimes a secularist gets laid in the thing, but not often. They talk a lot more about the freedom to do it than they actually do it. In any case, when they do, it's always with 18 forms of consent, an agreement that men are pigs and three forms of protection, one of which is hairy armpits and no deodorant.

I'm just sure that any day now, thousands upon thousands of Lambo owners will give up their race cars for VW buses.

Really.
