The news outlets today are buzzing with the latest report from the Pew Hispanic Center that one out of twelve births in America are to fugitive illegal entrants. According to the now established interpretation of the 14th Amendment, these babies automatically become bona fide American citizens upon post-partum. Achieving 21 years of age they can start sponsoring family members from south of the border.
Meanwhile, the decadal census, which is supposed to determine representation in Congress, does not ask the immigration status of its respondents. Therefore outfits like Pew and various government agencies must jump through statistical hoops to arrive at the currently accepted 12 million figure for illegals in the country.
Hispanic birthrates are the highest in the land. The US Census Bureau estimates that in 2050 almost one quarter of the US population will be Hispanic. Organizations like La Raza and MALDEF are celebrating such news as a continuing vindication of Reconquista progress. Hispanic leaders in America (some in Congress) have for years made open public statements to cheering crowds that Aztlan – the American southwest of 1848 – will be theirs again through a bloodless conquest. And if not that, then a bloody one will do. Given the porous borders, anti-assimilation pressures, and today’s happy news of births to illegals, these prognostications are right on schedule.

Then looking at the other coast, we are reminded that an even a greater invasion is being prepared from the east. The American Muslim community has regained the temerity to plow ahead with the giant Cordoba House mosque within a few hundred feet of where Islam unequivocally declared its intention toward our civilization. They know what they are doing, but we don’t. We are instead practicing tolerance toward our invaders in the same spirit that we have always practiced tolerance toward welcomed minorities who come here to become part of the greater us.
Even their chosen name for the mosque is a triumphant telling to Islamic peoples all over the world. By the end of the eighth century, the Caliphate of Cordoba covered most of the Iberian peninsula of what today is Spain and Portugal. The city of Cordoba itself was the jewel of Islam’s progress to conquer Europe. Cordoba’s population achieved 500,000 while Paris had yet to reach 40,000. To Muslim’s everywhere ‘Cordoba’ is a battle cry of the Global Caliphate renewed, and that mosque will tell all that the final thrust into the heart of ‘The Great Satan’ is beginning.
By 1492 in Spain and 1683 in Vienna, Christian princes were able stop and reverse the Islamic conquest of Europe. The interval proved extremely productive to European influence across the world. And with the concurrent religion-induced stagnation of Islamic cultures, it became clear that Islam’s great commission of the Global Caliphate could not be achieved through force of arms. The dream went on hold until after WW2 when it was awakened by the Cold War – an ideological rift that to the Muslims appeared as an internecine conflict at the heart of western civilization.
The west’s hunger for oil abetted the decision by the more fundamental Islamic factions that it was time to start moving again. The founding of Israel was an unexpected boon in that it created a perennial and accessible friction that Islam could manage at will to create an environment to reawaken and mobilize Islamic emotions. The Great Satan was erected and the people were again reminded of Quran’s teaching that the world consisted of two parts – dar al-Islam (the world of Islam) and dar al-Harb (the world of chaos and war). We, dear reader, live in dar al-Harb where now Islam’s new conquest strategy of bomb and breed is in full force.
Islam correctly assessed that the progressive factions in the west would so weaken our civilization that the spiritual zeal required to maintain it would ultimately be removed and replaced by platitudes of insouciant tolerance, an irrecoverable asymmetry that would play into the hands of dar al-Islam. Such an open civilization could be thrown off balance with a few bombs here and there, delivered by means that it could not stop without changing its transformed character and, more importantly, concluding that we are indeed in a war between civilizations. And the west’s progressives could be relied upon to prohibit that realization to ever inform and influence public policy in western countries.
The intellectuals of Islam also realize that the window of opportunity for prosecuting dar al-Harb is limited. They know better than we ourselves that progressivism is but a milestone on the path to autocracies that will most likely end in a large, coagulated, totalitarian order that is godless, militaristic, and united against dar al-Islam as its remaining enemy, touting a religion against which atheistic ideology is at a disadvantage. Therefore the breeding and bombing must be stepped up while the oil advantage exists, and the west remains a relatively open and ignorant society.
The momentum belongs to Islam. Given its vast Muslim settlements, Europe has already conceded that it will become part of dar al-Islam before this century is out. The remainder of dar al-Harb is still underpinned by America, and will fall into a divide-and-conquer disarray as soon as the global hegemony of the Great Satan is compromised. The next step in that process is to rekindle the glories of Cordoba, and build an indelible and inspiring monument at the site of Islam’s most significant victory, right in the heart of Manhattan.

Obama Redefines His Previous Support for Mosque at Ground Zero
Margaret Talev, McClatchy Newspapers: “President Barack Obama sought Saturday to draw a distinction between supporting a Muslim group’s right to build a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero in New York – a right he championed in a speech the night before – and thinking the project is a good idea. ‘I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there,’ he told reporters in Panama City, Florida.”
