You are arguing against a point I did not make.

All I said was that the collapse of Christianity, now in progress, will lead to the death of secular hedonism and the rise of Islam in the West.

I’m not advocating, I’m predicting.

I was not arguing against your point, just stripping away the labels and positing what the real struggle is. Mount Sinai vs Mount Zion...(both are the same mountain really but Heaven and rest to those in Christ and Judgment and the lake of fire for those who reject Christ)

Islam has a Mount Sinai vibe, but it is not a “morally” superior religion in any way to the Mosaic law. Christianity in the west in 732 found enough vibrancy and the courage to bring force to push back on Islam. It’s been a series of backs and forths for the past 1300 years.

Islam is guilty of it’s own peculiar brands of hedonism that are religiously acceptable and are favorable to grown men(which would not be acceptable to the OT). It is not a morally superior religion but it may be being used as a lash by God to get lackadaisical Christians in line.
(The same way Habakkuk says that God raised up the Chaldeans as a lash to punish Israel)

Nukes are involved in our era and other weapons of nasty effect that weren’t in existence in 732. It won’t be that easy for the Islamists despite all the talk of their “inevitable” rise. I fear for much worse and the Beast will not be an Islamist but the voice of Satan himself!
