JINSA whips clash-of-civilizations pony as it fades in the stretch

I believe this is desperation: the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs warning the west not to abandon Israel because Muslims will conquer Europe. I wish the ideas here were more logically expressed, but try and follow the bouncing ball (and remember that in Karen DeYoung’s biography, Colin Powell blamed the Iraq war on JINSA’s ideas):

There are two reasons why otherwise well-informed people voluntarily suspend their knowledge of history, religion, international law and political reality when Israel is involved: money [oil] and fear…

Fear of large Muslim minorities – unassimilated and unassimilable – fear of attacks at home and abroad, fear that the “Strong Horse” really is the rise of radical, jihadist Islam trying to conquer Europe again is the other. 

Unless the West develops confidence in Western civilization and willingness to stand up for what is right and demonstrably true – stand up for the democratic ally that is Israel – their fears may well become reality.
