The Future of the West - Believing or Doubting, Free or Submitting?

The Enlightenment tamed the Western churches. Their power was broken. Atheism became not only respectable but imperative among the philosophers and their followers.

In America, where many forms of Christianity persist ubiquitously, the Believers cannot now order the destruction of lives. And many Christians, especially evangelicals, are tolerant of religious differences among their fellow citizens.

But Islam is not to be tolerated. It murders or enslaves infidels. It crushes women. It hurts and humiliates children. It does not share our enlightened values.

What will tame Islam? Its power is growing in the West. Will Muslims undo the Enlightenment?

How should Islam be dealt with by Western liberals and conservatives, whether believers in God or not?

Yes, Islam cannot be allowed to “undo the Enlightenment” - which it will if it gains supremacy - and therefore must not be tolerated.
President Trump is taking great steps in the right direction by halting all immigration from many Muslim countries, and deporting many that are already here. He also has declared the MB a foreign terrorist organization.
The question is, will he go far enough with it?
