Make no mistake, Western culture, our culture, is under attack. This fact has been noted and discussed by commentators across many media outlets, however these discussions appear to have not been taken seriously. Perhaps because such a thing is beyond belief, perhaps because there is no one enemy of Western culture. Perhaps it is because it is simply another of those conspiracy theories that surface from time to time. Greg Sheridan, Foreign Editor for Weekend Australian, reported that “at Oxford University last year, the student body at Balliol College banned the Christian Union from participating in the ‘fresher’s fair’ because this might threaten intimidate or ‘harm’ students, because Christianity is associated with Western civilization, and Western civilization is synonymous with genocide, rape, torture etc.’ I would suggest that the Oxford student body broaden their outlook and read history of Cambodia, of Africa and of numerous Asian countries to discover that genocide and rape are not unique to Western civilization. These things are a human endeavor and looking in a mirror will point to the down-stream of all such events. Some say that such madness emanates from the modern Left and post-modernist thought. Certainly the modern Left have been under the guidance of loopy beliefs including, as Sheridan points out, ‘the dogma that children are not harmed by divorce, that pornography does not lead to sexual crime, that violence on film and television and social media does not lead to imitative violence in the real world. And yet at the same time the Left holds that a Christian Union stall would be intimidating to freshers and the study of Shakespeare’s Othello needs trigger warnings because of the treatment of characters of colour.’
