If you have NO OWN values to fight against Islam, you are doomed.
“France is at war,” President Francois Hollande said after the Paris ISIS attack (as if Islamic terrorism hadn't struck before: - 9/11; Madrid in 2004; London in 2005; Boston in 2003; the Boston Marathon bombing'; countless acts of terrorism in Israel, Russia, Kenya, Nigeria, and finally "Charlie Hebdo"). Hollande is awakening from a dream, like the West is awakening in general. Similar to carefree and capricious Olympic Gods, the West has found itself in the epicenter of the storm and now repeats the same question feverishly and desperately: “How one can fight with ISIS?”. But the question is much more complicated and deeper: “For the sake of what one should fight?”. Such is the existential question of the Western civilization (with the exception, perhaps, of the Eastern Europe and Israel).
People fight for certain ideals: the Motherland, national dignity, religion (as Muslims do today), ideology – in our case, Liberal values and Democracy.
