Those efforts needn’t be fanatical. Suppose these fine German citizens never break the law.
Consider the American example. In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, the militant Left fomented ‘revolution,’ and gave us, among other things, campus protests; draft card burning; the SLA shootout; the Chicago 7; Angela Davis; Bill Ayers the bomber; and Jane Fonda in Hanoi.
To get out from under the pressure of the FBI and anti-sedition laws, the Left later renounced violence, opting instead to ‘work within the system to change it from within.’ Comrades and revolutionaries who didn’t want to do that were admonished to ‘sit down, shut up, and get out of the way.’ This gave us, among other things, Chicago 7 member Tom Hayden winning elected office; Angela Davis receiving a Professor of the Year award from the Univ of Calif system in the ‘90s; Bill Ayers the educator, author, foundation board member and grant administrator; and Jane Fonda workout videos.
Today, the Left controls the media, education, most local and state gov’t here in Calif, both houses of Congress, the White House, and is working on the Supreme Court. None of this could have been accomplished through violence.
BHO is very much a product of this successful Leftist transition from hard to soft power.
I am beginning to think that BHO intends to disengage us militarily from the Islamic world. What will Islam be able to achieve if the conflict moves from the battlefields of South Central Asia, to the institutions of the West?
