The Ancient War Between the Judeo-Christian West and Islam

Breitbart's Big Peace ^ | September 21, 2014 | James P. Pinkerton

In one of the great epics of Western literature, the hero, confronted by numerous and powerful enemies, temporarily gives in to weakness and self-pity. “I wish,” he sighs, “none of this had happened.” The hero’s wise adviser responds, “So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide.” The old man continues, “There are other forces at work in this world … besides the will of evil.” Some events, he adds, are “meant” to be, “And that is an encouraging thought.”

Indeed it is. Perhaps, today, we are meant to live in these times. Perhaps right here, right now, we are meant to be tested. Maybe we are meant to have faith that other forces are at work in this world, that we are meant to rediscover our strength and our survival skills.

And so the question: can we, the people of the West, be brought to failure despite our enormous cultural and spiritual legacy? Three thousand years of history look down upon us: does this generation wish to be remembered for not having had the strength to look danger squarely in the eye? For having failed to harness our latent strength in our own defense?

With apologies to the frankenfood-fearers and polar bear-sentimentalizers, the biggest danger we face is the Clash of Civilizations, especially as we rub against the “bloody borders” of Islam.

What if, in the coming century, we lose that clash—and the source of our civilization?(continued)

Note from Senior Management: Jim Pinkerton outlines the central issues in the 1500-year struggle between competing cultural visions several years ago in this article, which first appeared in The American Conservative.

Democracy, the opiate of the ignorant is literally killing these once United States. As long as the livelihoods of both reps and senators are dependent on not angering any subset of myriad cultures, the virus of islam will thrive and eventually kill its host.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Islam might have been foreseen 2,000 as the beast of Revelations, or the anti-Christ. In any case, Mohammed, false prophet, invented Islam because he wanted a monotheistic religion to compete with Christianity and Judaism, and so gain power for himself. So it is inherently antagonistic, not spiritual. Worldly, not heavenly.

"A time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they do not know the Father or me"--Jesus could not have described the followers of Islam any better. They're told that God wants everyone dead, and they're only too happy to serve, and just by coincidence serve themselves as well. I don't think their final reward will be what they expected.

As long we naively believe that “democracy” and “free elections” are the one-size-fits-all for the world we can only expect more elections like that of Morsi.

Forming a political party in a “democracy” does not legitimize terrorists.

[Jacquerie]

Yes, the democratic element without ordered liberty to constrain it is a guaranteed recipe for tyranny.

It is on display here. Obama serves to promote a radical ideology, his political party and not the interests of our once republic.

American tyranny isn't the subject of a novel. It is here and most Freepers think elections will lead to restoration of liberty.

Justly their final reward will be not totally unlike their final earthly reward.

Liberalism is killing its host after which Islam moves in to feast on the corpse.

[lightman]

Very well stated.

[Telepathic Intruder]

A sea of glass. Islam has plenty of the raw material already. Just add W-88.

“Liberalism is killing its host after which Islam moves in to feast on the corpse.”

DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!
