The Advance of Islamic Imperialism through Colonization

According to the dictionary, imperialism is generally defined as one nation eatablishing economic and territorial control over another nation. To be specific, imperialism is defined as "the policy of extending a nation's authority by acquisition of territory or by the establishment of economic and political hegemony over other nations." (Webster's II, p. 613) I just want to toss out the idea (for discussion) that although the West does not see Islam as a "nation-state", many who practice Islam seem to view the world as the Nation of Islam leaving them with the job of bringing the infidel West into submission. To be honest, this idea of overthrow through colonization is not original to me. I heard it first in February 2002, when a lady called a talk show and expressed that the Moslem communities being established within the West were beach heads in the ages long war between Islam and Christianity. Her point was that these communities provided cover for the fighters/terrorists. In a recent comment I made on Gates of Vienna, I suggested that one of the difficulties the West has in developing an effective way to protect itself from the establishment of a Caliphate in Europe, ruled by a Caliph (the secular and religious Moslem state) was that Islam is an amalgamation of religious and political ideology. Difficulty in addressing the expressed aims of this amalgamation (the combination of church and state) may be in part to the inability of the West to adjust its worldview (the separation of church and state) and tackle the threat to its cultural survival head-on. Many avenues to curtail the aggression are available at this time to host-nations so I am not advocating "all out war". But, if push comes to shove, I say, shove back. Remember, terrorists bombed the World Trade Centers first, that coming on the heels of many attacks going back to President Jimmy Carter's befuddled reign. And, Hezbollah as well as Hamas have both shoved pretty hard at Israel. Perhaps aided by the UN's desire to homogenize the world (multiculturalism) and use the money of industrialized nations to turn us all into so-called "third world nations", and encouraged by the aging West's desire to import a permanent underclass of care-givers, astute leaders of Islam, having a more long-term view of their goal, did what any self-respecting group seeking world domination would do. They turned the tables and marched stable communities (colonies) right through the front door, one visa at a time. The Supreme Leaders are putting lessons learned from several centuries ago to good use. Instead of attacking nation-states head-on, they are now establishing colonies/beach heads first within "friendly, appeasing" nation-states, read France, and turning on the heat when they want to do so - as in riots and torching thousands of cars last summer. And as we have seen recently in Germany, they are using these launching pads as platforms from which to plan and implement "terrorist" attacks. To be "fair", it's a rather clever strategy: colonize first, give the bomber folks cover, AND use the host-states' welfare programs to provide for the terrorists daily living expenses; thereby, freeing up the serious money for plotting, planning, and implementing attacks. First, I'm interested in maintaining the culture of the West. Terrorism is only a tactic, one of many. Being from the West, I have the concept of freedom of religion ingrained into me from infancy. I was not taught to hate people whose view/belief of God was different from mine. I was taught to respect and to love them. I was also taught to draw the line at giving up my "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" as a means of letting someone else jump-start their journey to Paradise.
