Westerners are still living out the consequences of the French Revolution.
Chou Enlai was right when he said in 1974 that it was too early to tell if the French Revolution had been a good thing.
Liberalism originated from the French Revolution, of course.
We know it was to be the new religion of the French Republic because we know they changed their calendar and subject their weights and measurements to metrication.
Napoleon actually saw the light and converted to Islam, but then forgot about it.
Imagine if he had done the sensible thing and converted the rest of Europe to Islam after conquering so much of it.
And to think Hitler who followed him wanted to ban usury.
He would have been far more successful if he had converted Germany to Islam and if the skills of Dr Goebbels had been directed to more Islamic objectives.
Two lost opportunities so far.
Perhaps the West will be third time lucky?
