Joseph Farah paints a grim and realistic picture. Based on seeing things in a quantitative level, we would be doomed. However, I believe that quality is more important in this technological age than quantity. We have:

High quality media, running circles around the massive numbers of the old left media, which is unwilling to put energy and in-depth research into its agenda.

A high quality religion: one that, imho, generates more courage and determination than even the Islamic faith. A religion that hates kings and loves freedom.

High quality sirens of possession and hedonism: on the other side of the coin, anyone with hedonistic or greed-driven ambitions favor our philosophy as well. I wish we could win without them. But since the Devil can never be defeated by any mere mortal, we must continue to respect their freedoms as well, up to a point. Where the limit is on that is a fine line to draw, I concede. But no one does it better than a US anti-leftist.

High quality respect for other religions: so long as they don't try to oppress or threaten us, we leave them alone. Even when rogue members of their faith go too far, we ask ourselves what the supermajority of their faith intends. That makes us appear weak. But that is an illusion. If, for example, an army of snipers took out 1% of Americans in one month, then sadly, our love of peace would end.

The greatest threats to the US are internal, not external: the leftists. Look at our dependence on foreign oil, and California's dependence on other states. And on a diplomatic level, like Rush pointed out, the only reason why France and Germany were emboldened was mainly because of Clinton, although Bagdhad Bonior didn't help much either. Nor did our leftist actors. Nor did Timber Tom Dasshole, who obstructed everything. Defeat them, and God willing, we win.

>>and given that only America offers a viable alternative to both militant Islam and secularism-socialism, if we lose the battle here, humanity has a very dark future<<

This is not new, but must be rediscovered in every generation.

"O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted round the globe. Asia, and Africa, have long expelled her. Europe regards her like a stranger, and England hath given her warning to depart. O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind"-Common Sense, 1776.

The future is Muslim, European or American

The Euros (at least outside of the Anglophone axis) are largely being taken over by the Muslims already. There's only two choices left: us or them.

The article overlooks a couple of important points. Number one, the article overlooks Christian South America and the spread of Christianity throughout Africa. Believe it or not, Christianity is growing slightly faster than Mohammedanism worldwide. Secondly, the article overlooks the devastating effect artificial birth control has had in diminishing the number of Christians worldwide.

However "Judeo-Christian" culture is also secular in the sense that we are not ruled by a clergy elite.

One problem with thatTheory: Within two generations, Europe will be Muslim. So scratch Europe.

This is way too pessimistic. Their philosophy of having big families to raise more suicide bombers will not sustain -- and to be pratical more than cute -- there is a mortal social weakness in it, and the next generations will be like the Euro's in way low rate of children -- for similar reasons too.

The only question is will we be humble, G-d-fearing amd honorable enough to survive, and raise up children sameo ourselves.

They are militant Islam, Western European secularism and socialism, and American Judeo-Christianity and capitalism. The first is being spread both peacefully and violently, the second is being spread peacefully, and the third is not being spread.

this will come as quite a shock to the tens of thousands of missionaries around the world.

I would also like to point out that the movement of the USSR to Russia is a major shift toward Christianity and Capitalism.
