Unlike Chris Pétain, I take these guys at their word. The EU supposedly
fears massive ‘destabilisation’ of the Muslim world. I say, bring it on, baby.
If we don’t destabilise them now, they’re going to be destablilising us the
day after tomorrow.
Althought rather colloquial in it's delivery, the logic is compelling...
Especially since 40% of the Muslim world is under 18 (that's about 300 million, give or take a few hundred million.. :0) And as we all know, you have to be young, dum, and full of *** in order to be beguiled by the "glory of war" (or Jihad, in their eyes)...
18 year old boys have generally two goals... the first is sexual, the second is to establish a personal "resume" of masculinity that they can use to impress and dominate others, as well as irrefutably establishing their credentials as "men"..
And unfortunately, war is one of those things that young men all believe will achieve this (if they survive the ordeal). They will have endless stories to tell about their bravery and how many enemies they killed. And they will make the women swoon as they assert their claim as the local "alpha male"..
Yes... demographics are truly important to this equation in the middle east. If these young men don't find something else to do with their lives with which to establish their masculinity, they will do it through violence (and just never mention all the atrocities and brutality they commit along the way).
And if we don't "nip it in the bud" now and assert ourselves as the "global alpha male", they may just generate enough moxy and organization to take us all on and cost far more lives (ours and theirs) down the line.
