Animus & Intellect Vol 2 | Page 5

So the problem is Islamism. But this is not a problem without a solution. While the

militaries of free societies will fight the war on one front, we intellectuals and artists must fight it on the other front. It is a basic principle of warfare that it is extremely difficult to fight a war on

two fronts. We intellectuals and artists must give our full commitment to the values of freedom.

In doing so we will do our part to decimate the purveyors of Islamist oppression. We will be

steadfast in our defense of free expression. We will not yield to those who would seek to

suppress one of our first freedoms. We will not be cowed by those in our society who would

rather find favor with Islamists than defend our rights. We will remind those who would waver

in the defense of our rights that if they would enjoy the bounty of a free society that they too

must stand with us in the defense of freedom.
