In London, the Prime Minister (and the previous Prime Minister) and many members of Parliament say the recent jihadi attack in Westminster has nothing to do with Islam, and call for embracing the Islamic community.
In Germany, Angela Merkel has opened German borders to people from sharia-adherent jihadi nations, has defended jihadis as being “un-Islamic” and, in the face of towns being overrun by jihadis, she has doubled-down on her posture.
In France, establishment leaders continue to denounce Marine Le Pen’s call for a truthful dialogue about the threat from Islamic refugee populations, and a call for French pride and liberty as being bigoted and closed-minded.
In Canada, similar malaise sweeps the land as leaders fight for who will bend over backwards farther to appease and please their Islamic residents and immigrants.
In the United States, the previous three Presidents and five or six recent Secretaries of State have belched out comments that Islamic teachings are contrary to those of Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Abu Sayef, Boko Haram, or any of the other hundreds of jihadi organizations on the planet despite the fact they all claim to act in the name of Islam and all of their actions are supported by core Islamic teachings and sharia.
Leaders of North American and European Jewish organizations unwittingly stand with Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood leaders because they “know” what its like to be singled out and wrongly targeted for persecution and bigotry.
The same is true in European and American churches where pastors of all denominations throw the Apostles Creed out the window in order to be liked by their “Muslim neighbors” under the guise of “Jesus told us to love everyone – even our enemies.”
Since both government and church leaders hold that love and compassion should be our guide – a noble and just pathway – we must contemplate this from an objective, rational, and reasonable perspective.
Does compassion towards a group of people whose doctrine and belief system call for the destruction of yours take precedence over protecting the innocent in society?
Do muslims who do not believe in or want to abide by sharia constitute a “different version” of Islam? Since objectively, muslims who are speaking out against Sharia are unanimously threatened with death, we must take this into consideration if our thought process is to be considered reasonable.
Did Jesus merely command his followers to be “gentle as doves” which has been extrapolated by some Christian leaders to mean soft-hearted and soft-minded like fools, or was there more to it? “Wise as serpents” maybe? Has the bar for what is right and just become only those things that make our enemies “happy” or is there more to love than that?
These are relevant questions because the fate of Western society hangs on the answers.
From the perspective of Western civilization, the government has a role to play as does the Church in civil society. In neither case is the intentional destruction of innocent civilians an acceptable trade off for surrendering authority and power to an enemy whose stated goal is the killing of innocent non-muslims. We are called to lay our lives down for others in pursuit of righteous causes, not to allow evil to destroy what is good.
That requires us to know objective good and objective evil.
As Sir Winston Churchill said: “Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.”
Saint Thomas Aquinas was clear as well: “Mohammed said that he was sent in the power of his arms which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning.”
It appears the fate of Western civilization is in the hands of the people. Citizens of free nations will either once again stake a claim in liberty and truth and risk everything for its future, or they will risk being extinguished by the cancer called Islam spreading across the globe.

Thank you for this excellent column. We are strengthened when we read defenders of the truth, as you do with this twice weekly column. Adlai Stevenson is reputed to have said, “A free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.” Alas, is no longer safe to share unpopular beliefs in the first country in the world to include that right in their Constitution.
Dear readers, please share this blog with as many people as you can. Share, too, the crystal clear voice of others who defend the faith, such as Rev. Gavin Ashenden, who resigned his esteemed position as a Chaplain to the Queen because a Muslim was invited to share a Koranic reading from the pulpit of a Scottish cathedral, a passage that was chosen to insult Christians everywhere, as it debased Jesus’ divinity.

OPINION:
Notwithstanding the seemingly sociopathic contagion which thus far has impelled: 1-German Chancellor; 2-British Prime Ministers; 3-Former American presidents; 4-French establishment leaders; 5-Canadian sycophants; 6-recent U.S. Secretaries of State; innumerable quisling “deniers”, and possibly a partridge in a pear tree, to subject their fellow countrymen to the recurring whims of sharia-adherent savages, while they and their loved ones personally languish amid multiple government-subsidized concentric circles of high-tech security, the President of Turkey, who thus far is the only declared contender striving to become the world’s next Caliph of Islam, has angrily announced that ideological gradations of Islam, be they moderate or whatever, do not exist. Since thus the Koran contains an immutable and literal text, the obligation of all Muslims to engage in jihad against infidels (non-Muslims) will continue until global “peace” is achieved (“peace” meaning [contextually] total worldwide submission to sharia adherence).
Damn right
Why we are not treating ALL moslims as our enemies is beyond me, all moslims are our enemy and always will be, unless you too want to become a moslim.
Once they have a sizable populace they will demand and insist upon more and circumvent our freedoms and liberty. Sariah law is what they want and will put in place unless we do something immediately to prevent any of these pagan practices.
I recommend that all Moslems be condemned and banned permanently from all western countries.
They need to be cloistered in their middle east ghetto’s and not allowed to travel or attack Christians and Jews.
Moslem inbreeding has left the majority of those currently alive to be retarded. Thre cult or false so-called heathen religion needs to be outlawed on this planet. If it is not stopped or killed and punished it will continue to metastasis.
I just returned from China, in NW China there are about 20 million, Moslems, and the communist government is tactfully making it very difficult for those inbreds to exist. Those Moslems will lose that war, the communist will do what they see as the best for China and if the inbred Muslims do not want to comply they will be executed and never missed.
Moslems sinned and failed during their attacks against Europe at the time of the crusades, they will always fail, but let’s stop them from killing any more Christians and Jews.
