Why the West is lost

The shimmering mirage of an enlightened age across the West is shattered now, and it is largely due to our society’s overly generous, tolerant and peace loving nature. I wouldn’t call it a self-inflicted demise, because that suggests some sort of action; it is in fact (largely) inaction that has allowed the values of the Enlightenment to be crowded out by two aggressive forces acting as if in unison.
