Do you remember when Richard Dawkins, one of the most prominent atheists of our time, suddenly found himself defending Christianity. He called himself a “cultural Christian” and openly admitted that he didn’t want to see Britain, or the West, become Islamic. It was the realization that Western civilization was built on centuries of intellectual struggle, Greek philosophy, Roman law, the Judeo-Christian moral framework, the Reformation, the Enlightenment. The freedom to doubt. The freedom to speak. The right to question sacred ideas without fear of death. These aren’t just abstract values. They are the pillars that hold up everything from your freedom to publish a book to a woman’s right to walk down the street uncovered. Dawkins, despite his atheism, understood that Islam is a threat to that entire project. Because Islam doesn’t enter a culture to coexist. It enters to redefine it. It doesn’t see secular freedoms as neutral, it sees them as filth. When the West, in its confusion and cowardice, opens the gates and says “All cultures are equal,” it invites a force that sees that very tolerance as weakness to be exploited. Dawkins saw it. Many are starting to see it, and the West must act, if not to defend Christianity as dogma, then to defend the civilization it birthed, before it’s erased under the banner of submission.
