Yes. Think about it: Europe endured extensive, pervasive invasion and persecution from peace-hating Muslims for about twice the duration of the entire history of the United States of America - yet communist swine blame Christians for the carefully-focused Crusades.

The Crusades were a necessary thing in a fallen world. We need something like them - a modern equivalent, not the neocon so-called democracy building disasters - again. Western Civilization must be purged of Civilization Jihad if it is to survive.

Anyone who argues that Christians must be passive and helpless at all costs has adopted the Marxist Utopian propaganda that was written especially for Christians in order to neutralize them. (You do not see the Marxists being passive and helpless. Witness the violence of Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter.)

This is why the Amish/Mennonite philosophy is actually worldly and communist at heart: It is utopian and categorical; it seeks to return to Eden in this fallen world. It cannot happen.

(I note that some of the pacifist Mennonite chapters were in favor of the communistic health care proposed by Hillary Clinton around 1992, and more recently have supported the unBiblical movement to both accept and approve homoeroticism in the church.)

If an individual Christian is called to be pacifist, then that is between him and God; if the church makes it a requisite of faith, it is heresy.

It is like charity and celibacy: These things are personal and individual; they cannot justifiably be mandated by the state or the church.

The attacks are now so commonplace that a mere handful of victims barely warrants down page coverage by Fox, and even Free Republic has missed a few of the smaller events. It is indeed the new norm in Europe but not yet in North America. Unless Clinton gets elected.
