Before we come to the threat that my native Qatar poses to the West, I think it is helpful to understand how Western culture opened the door to its enemies.
Lionel Shriver, the author of We Need to Talk About Kevin, has written A Better Life, the controversial novel of the year, about how Westerners fail to defend a privilege that they feel they haven’t earned, thus becoming all giving of their cultural inheritance to foreign cultures, which are all taking. The New York Times and others are enraged and doing their best to dismiss A Better Life as a mean, racist, and bigoted tirade about immigration. It is not.
