Anti-Christian is the only acceptable modern prejudice.
For your ping lists.
> Mohammed was -- (do NOT fill in this blank).
Au contraire.
The blank MUST be filled it, because we KNOW it is the truth.
Even Mahomet's own descendents describe what he was.
Treacherous
Lecherous
Murderer
Brigand
Liar
Truce breaker
Pedophile
Polygamist
Pirate
Plunderer
Rapist
Lunatic
Did I leave anything out?

Jesus is the ONLY one with any real power, compared to all other gods. That is why they continue to try and disprove and discredit Christianity.
Thank for posting this. We enjoyed reading it.
"Anti-Christian is the only acceptable modern prejudice."
Of course it is! What is the modern Zeitgeist? The Evil One, not the Holy Spirit. What do we hear from so many modern churchmen but that "The Holy Spirit is doing a new thing. Sin is no sin. There are many ways to God"? They preach, and have preached, a "new gospel" for the past 40 years or so and society, especially the elites, have bought into it. Look how successful the Evil One has been in convincing society that he doesn't exist! Our own government has become a proponent of this heresy. The Clinton Administration bombed Orthodox Christians because they fought the Mohammedan death cult; the Bush Administration stands aside while Mohammedans destroy Christian churches and monasteries in Kosovo and Iraq, all the while proclaiming that Islam is the religion of peace. Our little children right in our home towns are taught that evil lifestyles are "normal" from the first grade on and if we protest, we run the risk of being arrested.
As Christians, though, we must continue to fight and fight harder than we have before. Many of us will loose the honors we have heaped up in the world. You know, it has always, or almost always, been like this for Christians. The Evil One seeds our souls with despair and if we succumb to that despair, or even compromise with it, he wins and we are lost.
"Just as our Lord is solicitous about our salvation, so too the murderer of men, the devil, strives to lead a man into despair ... Judas the betrayer was fainthearted and unskilled in battle, and so the enemy, seeing his despair, attacked him and forced him to hang himself; but Peter, a firm rock, when he fell into great sin, like one skilled in battle did not despair nor lose heart, but shed bitter tears from a burning heart, and the enemy, seeing these tears, his eyes scorched as by fire, fled far from him wailing in pain." +Seraphim of Sarov
"Do not be despondent when fighting against the incorporeal enemy, but even in the midst of your afflictions and oppression praise the Lord, Who has found you worthy to suffer for Him, by struggling against the subtlety of the serpent, and to be wounded for Him at every hour; for had you not lived piously, and endeavored to become united to God, the enemy would not have attacked and tormented you." +John of Kronstadt.
We all expect a story like this during Lent, and sometimes during Advent as well. I've often wondered if the editors/owners of the news magazines, major newspapers and TV networks ever stop to think that the timing of these "revelations" is a calculated insult to a large percentage of their customer base. Most Christians are so inured to this treatment that we rarely bother to complain.
Finally ... a journalist who does not feel compelled to follow mainstream secularism - and does so with a sense of humor. Thanks for this great post!
John Robson sees this crap for what it is. Good article.
Great article!
