Will the West stand up?

From Denmark:

A group of Moslem males have tried to get at the daughter of one of the 12 cartoonists who drew the cartoons of Muhammed at her school. The political spokesman of the Liberals, Jens Rohde, revealed this during an interview with TV-Avisen while explaining his and the Prime Minister’s attack on the business community in Denmark, charging that they have put profits over Freedom of Speech.

We thought the clash of civilizations was over when the Ottoman empire fell apart. It was not. Western civilization must get back to its roots and recognize that modern pacificism has weakened it. Riches are not strength. If you trade your freedom for trinkets and soft living, you will have to earn it back the hard way.

Will we finally realize and accept that we still must stand for something, or see ourselves fall prey to the Heart of Darkness?
