EUROPE'S TWO CULTURE WARS: One, carried out by secular zealots, seeks to abolish the words "father" and "mother" in birth certificates, while offering human rights to great apes. This is a war waged by people obsessed with eradicating their own past.
The other is waged by a small but relentless group of Muslim fanatics who wish to impose Middle Eastern standards of morality on a population they judge to be faithless and cowardly. These people fight for the long future.
