Why the Secular Humanists Cannot Cope With Islam

Everyone should read this through to the end. Fr. Dwight hit the target in this one. The only thing to counteract the Islamic ideology is another strong ideology which will understand the nature of the enemy - Christianity is the answer.

Because secular humanists do not believe in God or any religion, they cannot comprehend how Islamic fanatics will blow themselves up to smithereens for Allah.

They also cannot differentiate between good and evil because they do not believe in sin or the concept of evil and demonic spirits. How then can they fully understand the terrible deeds that these horrible people are committing? They think more social workers will do the trick. What we need are more dedicated Christian Priests and Ministers.

I believe it was Sun Tzu, the Chinese War tactician, who pointed out that your enemy’s lack of ability to control his anger, and his blind spots, are his greatest weaknesses.

In the Bible, Jehu and numerous events from the Judges time period show that the wicked punish each other. Isaiah mentioned “drunk with their own blood”.

There’s a clip on You tube that says,

Likely marking the low point in the representation of Iranians by Hollywood, this movie chronicles an American woman’s struggle to escape Iran after she and her daughter are forbidden to leave by her Iranian husband.”

Oh, how the truth hurts Muslims worse than sunshine!

Yes, that is the movie.

....And dedicated religious and laypeople as well who can proclaim the good news of the Gospel of Jesus.

It cowardice on the part of not so Great Britain. It doesn't pinpoint the problem of Islam in England an everywhere else.

Sikh Federation in Britain accuse mainstream UK media of ignoring efforts to get them to stop using the generic (and virtually always erroneous) term ‘Asian’ when, in fact, what they should be labeling them is ‘Muslim..

Islam, Socialism, secular humanism, are all just different regiments in Satan’s army. Sure, they may fight among themselves; they’re demons after all. But they unite against God and His children. they know who their enemy is.

“The Power complex comes from the fantasy that if THEY had power, they would be able to fix it. Not by raising up the other culture (that would be WORK), but by bringing ours down to their Other’s level. “

A good point. What the leftists don’t realize is that if they devolved white culture/civilization down to the level of the fanatical Islamic culture, the leftists would be the first to be slaughtered and hanged from lampposts by a degraded western culture. The key word here is civilization. Without western civilization, the “enlightened” leftists would be exterminated. They would have no place in a brutal, martial society and would be judged useless and unnecessary.

I’d like to agree with you, but I’m not so sure. I think the Leftists are smart enough to evolve with the changing landscape (think Stalin). But it does mean throwing some constituents under the bus for “The Greater Good”. For starters: Jews, Gays, and Feminists (in that order).

“I think the Leftists are smart enough to evolve with the changing landscape (think Stalin).”

This assumption, I believe, is where many people misjudge the American leftist. The typical American leftist has been emasculated by the feminist movement. The typical American, leftist male has been brainwashed to hate guns, despise competition and find combat repulsive. Trying to equate the American leftist with a Stalinist revolutionary or a European fascist who grew up in a martial culture is far off the mark.

It’s simply impossible, IMO, for an American leftist to evolve into a tough Stalinist willing to fight in the street for nebulous beliefs after your schwantz has been ripped out.

The American leftist male is not, in the martial sense, a Nazi or communist street fighter. They are unmitigated, jellyfish wimps.

From a martial sense, maybe. But they have still won “wars”. They appear to have won the Culture war, have turned the young away from capitalism, and are using promotion of homosexuality to batter organized religion. And this is by no means an exhaustive list. These are things I would not have imagined possible even 25 years ago.
Sadly, conservative opposition has been sporadic and largely ineffective.

As for not being martial, there are always people who will fight on their behalf, especially if they are rewarded. In this country, the people wielding power have always been the political class.

That being said, I hope you are right though. Time will tell.....

“They appear to have won the Culture war, have turned the young away from capitalism, and are using promotion of homosexuality to batter organized religion.”

I’m going to disagree with you. What you stated above is true for liberal cities. It’s not true in exurbia where I live. Where the leftists think they have won in cities are areas that are dying. Liberal cities have lost millions of families who have fled and moved to exurbia in the past 30 years. We can look up population statistics and confirm that.

We need to see and reject the propaganda from the commies who spew out lies about the cultural war.

We have the crumbling big city leftist example that is dying, and we have the exurbia example that is packed with families, Christians and patriots and it’s growing in strength, as the Lord intended.

We need to reject the leftist lies and propaganda and embrace the Lord’s plan. We are very strong where I live and we are growing in influence. The propaganda press refuses to acknowledge our strength. That’s fine. If the leftists try to pull anything untoward, they won’t know what hit them.

Best wishes to you and yours.
