He emphasized the urgent need for the West to reclaim the\u200c values that made it great, or risk succumbing to radicalism.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Immediate Threat and the Growing Crisis<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the immediate threat to Western values is the terror \u200cgroup\u2063 Hamas, Shapiro highlighted the \u2064alarming rise of radical Islamist sympathizers and enablers \u200dwithin Western \u2064borders. He questioned \u200bwhy so many in the West make excuses for the\u200c atrocities committed by Hamas and seek to equate the actions of \u2062Israel with \u2062those of their genocidal neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Complicity and Cowardice<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro \u2064identified two reasons for this dangerous trend: complicity and cowardice. He pointed \u2064out groups\u200c like Queers\u2063 for Palestine and the Black\u2063 Lives Matter movement, who align themselves with Islamist terrorists due to a \u200cshared belief that the West is \u2063inherently evil and exploitative.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A Dreamworld \u200dof \u2064Denial<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro criticized the University of Wisconsin-Madison for its ambiguous response to \u2064the Hamas attack, highlighting a double standard in\u2063 how the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-the-most-dangerous-phenomenon-in-the-west-is-an-alliance-of-radicals-sympathizers-and-cowards\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro warns of a perilous alliance in the West: radicals, sympathizers, and cowards.\">institution embraced social justice<\/a> after George Floyd&#8217;s death.\u2062 He argued that the cowards who apologize for Western civilization have created a distorted view that justifies\u200b the atrocities committed by \u200cHamas as a rational response to oppression.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Greatness of Western Civilization<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro passionately defended Western civilization, acknowledging its past flaws but emphasizing its unique contributions to the world. He highlighted Western civilization&#8217;s commitment to freeing slaves, spreading liberty, and promoting prosperity. He called\u2063 for moral courage, clarity, \u2064and the unwavering\u200c defense of\u2062 Western values.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A Warning and a Call to Action<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro ended his speech on a hopeful note, but with a warning. \u200dHe expressed his belief that the West will\u200b rise again, but only if it has the courage to speak \u200dthe truth\u2062 and oppose those who seek to undermine its freedoms. He urged\u200b the West to embrace moral clarity and \u200bstand\u2064 firm against \u200cthe\u2062 darkness, \u200cor\u2063 risk falling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What measures can be taken to counter the rise of radical Islamism and its enablers, particularly through education\u200c and engagement initiatives<\/h2>\n<p><span>  And its \u200caffiliates, such\u2062 as Al-Qaeda and ISIS, the larger crisis lies in the spread of radical Islamism and the enablers who support it. Radical Islamism is an\u2063 extremist ideology that seeks \u2062to establish a global Islamic state under strict\u2063 Sharia law. It \u200cis a\u2063 perversion \u2064of the peaceful teachings of \u200dIslam and\u2064 poses a significant threat to \u2062the foundational\u2064 principles of the Western \u200dworld.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The enablers of radical Islamism are individuals, organizations, and \u200ceven governments that provide\u200d financial, ideological,\u2064 or logistical support to these\u200d extremists. \u2064They may \u2062do so out\u200b of misguided beliefs,\u200c political expediency,\u200c or a desire to undermine Western democratic\u2062 values.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Assault on Democracy and Individual Rights<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Radical Islamists and their enablers seek to undermine Western\u2063 democracy and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-depth-states-stop-credit-card-companies-from-tracking-gun-purchases-it-may-not-last\/\" title=\"States halt credit card companies from tracking gun purchases, but it's temporary.\">individual\u2062 rights<\/a> in\u2062 various ways. They\u200d attempt to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fcc-commissioner-blasts-democrat-complaint-against-fox-news-affiliate-fcc-is-not-dncs-speech-police\/\" title=\"FCC Commissioner Blasts Democrat Complaint Against Fox News Affiliate: FCC Is Not \u2018DNC\u2019s Speech Police\u2019\">censor free speech<\/a>, particularly when it criticizes Islam or offers \u200ddifferent viewpoints. They demand the imposition of Sharia law, which is incompatible\u2062 with the concept of equal\u200b rights for all citizens. They promote\u200c the mistreatment \u200cand oppression of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, religious minorities, and anyone who \u2064does not conform to their rigid\u2063 interpretation\u2063 of\u2062 Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Terrorism and Violence<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most visible manifestation\u200b of radical Islamism\u200d is terrorism. Attacks carried out by Islamist extremists have claimed countless innocent\u2062 lives, causing fear, division, and a\u200b sense of insecurity. Whether \u2064it is the 9\/11 attacks in the United \u200dStates, the London bombings\u2064 in 2005,\u2062 or the recent wave of attacks in Europe,\u2062 the threat posed by radical\u200c Islamists cannot be underestimated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, it is crucial to recognize that not all followers of \u2062Islam are radical Islamists. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful and reject the extremist ideology. \u200dRadical Islamism is a fringe movement \u2062that\u2063 has hijacked a \u2062religion followed by over 1.8 billion people \u200cworldwide.\u200d It is essential to distinguish\u2064 between the religion itself and the twisted interpretation propagated by a\u200b minority.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Role \u200dof \u2063Education and Engagement<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To counter the \u2063rise of radical Islamism and its enablers, education and engagement are vital. Governments, schools, and communities should promote a comprehensive understanding of Islam that \u200cemphasizes its diversity and peaceful teachings. It is crucial to empower\u200d moderate Muslim voices and foster dialogue to debunk\u200b extremist ideologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, cooperation between Western countries and international \u2063organizations\u2062 is essential in addressing the \u2062financial networks \u200bthat enable radical \u2064Islamism.\u200d By cutting off the flow\u2062 of funds to extremist groups, governments can weaken their\u200d influence and limit their ability to carry out acts of terror.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The threat posed by radical Islamism \u200band its enablers is a pressing challenge \u200cfor \u2064the West. \u200bIt \u200cendangers our\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/yemen-lgbt-refugees-and-white-supremacy-everything-you-need-to-know-about-bidens-first-foreign-policy-speech\/\" title=\"Yemen, LGBT Refugees, And White Supremacy: Everything You Need To Know About Biden\u2019s First Foreign Policy Speech\">democratic values<\/a>, \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/happy-new-year-2021-let-faith-and-hope-guide-our-efforts\/\" title=\"Happy New Year 2021! \u2014 Let Faith and Hope Guide Our Efforts\">individual rights<\/a>, and societal cohesion. However, by standing firmly for Western values, promoting education \u200band engagement, and disrupting the financial \u2063networks that support extremism, we can confront and overcome this dangerous movement. It \u200bis essential\u2062 for the West to remain vigilant and unite against the forces that seek to undermine our freedom\u200b and way of \u2064life.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The West&#8217;s &#8220;most dangerous&#8221; faction is formed by radical Islamists and their supporters, claims Ben Shapiro, former Editor of Daily Wire.
