Some people are wondering if Western civilization as we know it is dead because of the dramatic changes and Dhimmitude of the culture. Although at one time the Western world was largely intolerant of any other culture that deviated from its own, in recent years tolerance has been the key buzzword tossed around through the politically correct circles. Ironically, because the west is so tolerant, it has opened up the floodgates for those who wish to conquer from within. Dhimmitude of western ideas and culture have taken place throughout a very short period of time.

Although there are a great deal of people who are eager to go out on a limb to prevent any type of Christian influence into politics, laws or every day life to the point where saying Merry Christmas in stores that are catering to those buying Christmas presents is banned, such is not the same when it comes to Islam. Despite the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 that killed over 2,000 civilians in the United States, the people in the United States are still very tolerant of Islam and the culture. Any intolerance towards Islam is considered to be hateful ...
... and many publications, including internet publications, will ban what they deem as hate speech.

Hate speech and hate crimes in the United States, do not apply towards those who say hateful things against Christians. There is a war on Christianity and what it symbolizes like never before. Schools are very careful not to mention the world Christmas even though it is a federal holiday. Christmas trees are now Holiday Trees in politically correct language. Even those who are celebrating Christmas or are catering to those who do, will use the term Holiday instead of the actual name.

Hate crimes are those that are directed at another individual because of their religion, race, sex orientation, gender, national origin or other special group. A person who says something derogatory to a Christian and slaps them will be charged with a misdemeanor battery. However, someone who does the same to a Muslim will be charged with a felony hate crime. The disparity between who is protected in the law and who is not does not escape many when it comes to Dhimmitude and Western civilization.

Most people who live in the West, particularly in the United States, are raised to believe that everyone has a right to express their own religious beliefs. Freedom of religious worship is one of the basic concepts on which the country was founded. Therefore, they often feel as though everyone else feels the same way. It can be hard for them to get their mind around the idea of someone who wants to convert them at all costs. Or kill them because they do not share their faith. A great many people in the west are therefore practicing tolerance to death. They are quick to defend any other culture or religion that is not the dominating culture or religion in the country and are even willing to give those who practice those religions special rights to protect their interests.
