The second video below, from Peter Boghossian, was interesting for about 5 minutes or so. It might have been interesting for longer than that, but I turned it off because it had so many problems.
First, however a preliminary video from Peter.
The fact that Peter can't understand why no Islamists wanted to come on his show is telling. Their goal is to turn Europe Muslim. Just what Peter has to contribute to that effort, I'm sure I don't know. They have absolutely nothing to gain by going on his blatherfest of a show.
Now the main show.
The question at hand is: will Europeans surrender to Islam? Lacking an Islamist to make the argument in favor, the conversation in both directions reminded me of Jonah Goldberg's defenses of religion.
I don't listen to Jonah any more, but back in the day, I recall him saying he wasn't a believer, but studies had shown that a culture with a strong faith tradition did 37% better in terms of dhsa ;fa dcnwaf as.
OK, I fell asleep at that point, but he said something like that.
It was all as bloodless as only someone convinced he is an intellectual can make it. As I watched those 5 minutes of the group discussion about surrendering to Islam, it felt exactly like that. I thought about the argument I would have made on the pro-surrender side. I would have taken my best shot at being a devout Muslim for the sake of the discussion. Here's what I would have said after the case had been made for religion leading to more happiness and a better life like it was some kind of diet and exercise regimen.
When was the last time you prayed? When was the last time you went to temple or church? We pray every day. In fact, we have pulled out our prayer mats and deliberately stopped traffic in your streets to pray in the middle of your cities. Do you really think you're going to stand up to that kind of devout faith with a pile of sociology studies?
Your leaders hate you. They arrest you if you say anything against us or deface a Koran. They do this because your entire education system believes that you, your race and your culture are irredeemably evil. They all hate you and none of them will ever support you. They think that your culture would be improved by importing the Congolese. The Congolese! That tells you just how much they despise you. How are you going to stand up against us with leadership like that?
You're living in a surveillance state the tracks your movement, your communications and your social media posts. How do you plan on organizing any resistance to us when your authorities will stamp it out as soon as they see it? Your police arrest you for saying nasty things about Islam, but let us go when we rape your girls. Heck, we raped over 100,000 of them and your leaders and social workers and police and intellectuals didn't just sit and watch, they actively and intentionally aided and abetted the rapes!
At the younger demographics, you're already outnumbered in your large cities. In places like France, it's actually illegal to count how many of us there are because the authorities don't want you to know how bad things are. They hate you that much.
Finally, if push comes to shove, and with us, it always does, who among you is going to fight? We are willing to fight and die for Islam. We are raised to believe that Allah will reward us handsomely if we die spreading Islam. Our young men are driven to courageous and violent action by their devout faith. Meanwhile, you can't even remember the last time you muttered a quiet prayer.
It's not that you will surrender to us. It's that you already have.
Reply to that one, infidels.

| Your leadership, your universities, your news media and your police all hate you. You might as well make it easy on yourselves and surrender now. |
