The role of the clergy
Americans of the Europe-is-doomed school often cite Europe's secularism (weakening of the role of Christianity in society) as a supposed source of European spinelessness in the face of Islamist bullying.
But this example of sniveling dhimmitude on the part of British Christian clergymen, and the uproar it has provoked among the mostly-secular British people, suggests that matters are otherwise. (Found via Samizdata.)
A religion which exhorts its adherents to love their enemies and turn the other cheek when struck is hardly suited to serve as a source of strength in time of existential conflict.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
