The war on Western citizens and culture has seen as escalation. The recent terrorist attacks in France and Austria have been given official support together with incitement to commit more murders from the governments of Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia. Western governments responded with total silence, betraying their cultures and citizens. This will be seen by those governments as a weakness and an invitation to support further attacks. One wonders what it will take for the West to wake up to the fact that it is under attack and respond appropriately. [Image: Anon, Battle of Vienna 1683, in which the city was saved from the Ottomans]
