As always - thoughtful and thought-provoking! And much of what you say points to part of the background of the Islamic disease I have been writing about for years now, and that background is - US! We ourselves, collectively, our Western Civilization, has lost its immunity, its capacity to resist the disease...Only 105 years ago (I don't say 100, but in 1915 we had already embarked on the reoad to self-destruction) what is happening now would have been unthinkable...So, when I write about Islam, I am also writing about us! And I did write about all that in 2006, very briefly, and it occurs to me that I shall post that again, as a kind of reminder...

It truly is amazing how polarized we are. There are a lot of different reasons in play. Things have tilted towards the Left in the last several decades. Secondly, I think with social media, we are so inundated with topics that debates keep on going and turn nasty.

You have quite a scrap pile there.  There's a lot of truth in what you say.  I'm afraid it is not going to get better for any of us, and each and everyone seems to have their own way of dealing with it, or not dealing with it at all.
