Riots, demonstrations, revolutions are familiar to the European
tradition and less frightening than the the seemingly well adapted
second and third generation Muslims who turn to religion and
internet hate-sites where they find that the West is guilty of all ills
in the Muslim world and has to be made aware of these
sufferings, and that the way is to blow themselves up in public
places.Or in the Netherlands film-maker Van Gogh's case that
anyone who defames Allah or his prophet is to be killed (by
beheading as the Koran says). Anyone who has read his speech
to Van Gogh's mother at the end of the trial will know this blood-
curdling logic. Compared to these things ordinary rebellion is
welcome - almost.
Agreement to the rest if we see Western culture as intellect-
value-dominated and Semitic (religion) cultures as social-value-
dominated. About the French heeding Pirsig's warning not much
chance if not the once MD participant Denis Poisson has made it
to the government offices.
