If you mean that it's already started, I agree. The question is what will be defined as its first event. I submit that it's regime change causing the collapse of stable governments in Egypt, Libya, and Iraq. Saudi Arabia, the US, and the EU ruling class thought they'd be able to choose leaders to fill the void. Instead, we have the evil empire, ISIS, that emerged.
Problem is, the US and its allies are on the wrong side.
Our next president needs to be unapologetic in describing this as a conflict between Christianity and Islam — a HOLY WAR. We’ll need to fight this war in the NAME OF JESUS and with the goal of utterly destroying Islam. Anything less would be wrong.
