Can’t all of us anti-Islamization types just get along?

In an article posted last week which I just came upon, the blogger New Sisyphus considers the fight between Charles Johnson and his Lizards on one side and Paul Belien and Vlaams Belang on the other along with their numerous supporters and detractors (including yours truly); he acknowledges what positions are reasonable among the various factions; he delineates the different type of conservatism each faction represents; and he calls for an end to the fight and the formation of a new “Popular Front”—but this time a Popular Front of the Right, rather than of the Left—to stop the Islamization of the West.

Speaking of which, Fjordman sent me earlier today Charles Johnson’s statement of what he actually supports vis a vis Muslim immigration (here’s the entry, here’s the comment):

What I DO support to deal with the jihad: much stronger legal barriers to the spread of hardline ideology, including monitoring mosques and Islamic schools, strictly limiting immigration from Islamic countries, and maybe most important, finding some way—any way—to eliminate the poisonous Saudi influence from our society and our politics.

As far today’s mainstream conservative movement is concerned, this is not bad at all. Most importantly, Johnson is not a Usual Suspect, meaning a person who expresses great alarm about the Islamization of the West but refuses to call for any significant reduction of Muslim immigration.

Well, Johnson’s position is not so bad, but it’s not enough, at least not in Europe. We also need to deport some of the sharia-sponsoring Muslims who are already here, or we’ll lose.

By the way, I notice people in every single developing country take it for granted that they can move to a Western country instead of fixing their own. So, where are Westerners supposed to move to, as the West itself is increasingly swamped by the same problems? Mass migration is the global version of playing musical chairs. The greatest civilization mankind has ever created is in serious danger of being destroyed forever during the twenty-first century.
