“We will soon enough begin to reap the violent consequences of this folly, just like Europe.”
Because we live in a society that allows them to set a standard based upon a religion that only they adhere to, and then allows them to condemn the rest of us for not living as their religion dictates we should.
Islam will not coexist with anything not Islamic. Hardly news. But that particular clash of civilizations has no bearing on historical America, whose main contact with Islam was having its citizens kidnapped and enslaved by Muslim states. Captain John Smith shared that fate before becoming a founder of Jamestown. It’s a pity that our current crop of weakminded leaders have so little knowledge of the nature of Islam and the threat it poses to the West.
The facts are still that the founders cited Deuteronomy more than any other work while establishing American law. Christian mores were the root of American law and culture for most of its history. The references of America being a Protestant nation are too numerous to mention. There were two New England states with official churches well into the 1800s. The radical separation beloved by alienated Leftists and paranoid libertarians simply didn’t exist until the rise of the counter culture in the 1960s. Somehow the country managed to prosper with all that scary religious influence, whereas post 60’s American civilization hasn’t been anything to brag about.
