We have been engaged in limited warfare with elements of Islam but an all out holy war hasn’t been waged for quite a while and not during the age of nuclear weapons. Most westerners would wish to avoid such a conflict. I think Islam will force the world down that path once Iran has the means of producing and proliferating nuclear weapons. I guess I’m talking about Armageddon.
I would describe the situation for the past two decades as
a “sporadic holy war.” Was there ever a day in any holy war when more infidels were killed than on Sept 11 2001? I believe that 9/11 was intended to rile up Islamicists in preparation for the decades-long “slow” war we are in the midst of. Islamicists have succeeded in breaking the will of much of Europe. As their population grows so will their political influence. At some point Europe will decide it’s easier just to go along with the wishes of its new Islamic majority than to confront a nuclear armed Iran.
The one sticking point in the road to a global Caliphate has been all those blasted conservative Christians in the United States and in parts of Africa. It’s just not as easy to dominate those people. Note how little support Christians are getting both domestically and abroad from our current administration.
