Brethren, Peace be with you and a'salaam aleikum!
William Kirkpatrick over at the Catholic World Report asks the following question Are We Losing the Apologetics War with Islam? in light of recent lone-wolf terrorist attacks in Canada and the United States, as well as the romance many attach to the depredations of the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. One of the Canadian terrorists had this illustration displayed in his Facebook page:
- Read also The Mind of Islam at the Christ's Faithful Witness blog.
God created man with freedom of choice. Man chose sin. Muslims are stupid.
Extract: Brothers and sisters, we must arm ourselves with the Armor of God, standing firm “with the belt of truth buckled around” our waists, with “the breastplate of righteousness” in place,and with our feet “fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”
And with ISIS, arming ourselves with a full inventory of weapons to eradicate them on the battlefield.
Im not on FACEBOOK, and dont intend to be. But if anyone on FR wants apologetics, they can check this page.

Today’s first reading — St. Paul to the Ephesians.
I just want my Muslim friends to know that they’re going to hell. Sorry, it is just that way until you come to know and accept Jesus as your Lord ans Savior.
Repent and step away from Satan.
Reading 1 Eph 6:10-20
Brothers and sisters:
Draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm
against the tactics of the Devil.
For our struggle is not with flesh and blood
but with the principalities, with the powers,
with the world rulers of this present darkness,
with the evil spirits in the heavens.
Therefore, put on the armor of God,
that you may be able to resist on the evil day
and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
So stand fast with your loins girded in truth,
clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
and your feet shod in readiness for the Gospel of peace.
In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield,
to quench all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God.
With all prayer and supplication,
pray at every opportunity in the Spirit.
To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication
for all the holy ones and also for me,
that speech may be given me to open my mouth,
to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel
for which I am an ambassador in chains,
so that I may have the courage to speak as I must.
I will be the last one to argue against material readiness having been there. Yet, the primary battle front was and remains spiritual.

Yes, spiritual battle is important, but so is physical battle.
Where would we be if Charles Martel had not won the Battle of Tours in 732? Probably not here today.
Or the Knights of St. John (Knights Hospitallers of Malta) who defeated the Turks in 1565.
The defeat of the Turks at Vienna in 1683. http://www.historytoday.com/walter-leitsch/1683-siege-vienna
And the Crusades to reclaim the Holy Land from the Moslems after they had conquered the Christians communities that had grown up in the Middle East and the lands of biblical Israel.
Or Lepanto. Or the sieges of Vienna. Or Vlad Dracul.
“The muslim proselytizer.... wound up declaring me to be too stubborn.”
Or, as muzzies will put it when you’re REALLY incorrigible:
“Allah has placed a seal upon your heart!!!”
Should that occasion arise, I will refuse to argue with a Muslim proselytizer & merely invite him his cohorts to bring on jihad & Shariah, since Islam is only about conquest by the sword, anyway. The Saudi flag proves it.
Deus vult!
And with ISIS, arming ourselves with a full inventory of weapons to eradicate them on the battlefield.
The extract is metaphor and not useful instruction.
Your comment is correct.
>>Or, as muzzies will put it when youre REALLY incorrigible:
Those are the words he used. LOL.
To our Muslim friends: Strongly suggest you step up your game from those memes. It’s hard either to win converts or to behead unsuccessful prospects if they’re rolling around laughing.
Yet it would be the Francisians who got the rights to manage the Catholic Christian Holy Land sites.
Pray for the CONVERSION of ALL to CHRIST.
