MARK STEYN: The
Barbarians Are Inside, And There Are No Gates:
Among his other coy evasions, President
Obama described tonight’s events as “an attack not just on Paris, it’s an
attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of
humanity and the universal values we share”.
But that’s not true, is it? He’s right that
it’s an attack not just on Paris or France. What it is is an attack on the
west, on the civilization that built the modern world – an attack on one
portion of “humanity” by those who claim to speak for another portion of
“humanity”. And these are not “universal values” but values that spring from a
relatively narrow segment of humanity. They were kinda sorta “universal” when
the great powers were willing to enforce them around the world and the colonial
subjects of ramshackle backwaters such as Aden, Sudan and the North-West
Frontier Province were at least obliged to pay lip service to them. But the
European empires retreated from the world, and those “universal values” are
utterly alien to large parts of the map today.
And then Europe decided to invite millions
of Muslims to settle in their countries. Most of those people don’t want to
participate actively in bringing about the death of diners and concertgoers and
soccer fans, but at a certain level most of them either wish or are indifferent
to the death of the societies in which they live – modern, pluralist, western
societies and those “universal values” of which Barack Obama bleats. So, if you
are either an active ISIS recruit or just a guy who’s been fired up by social
media, you have a very large comfort zone in which to swim, and which the authorities
find almost impossible to penetrate.
