We all know the story of the frog being placed in a pot of water that gradually grew warmer until it was too late and the frog was cooked. That is what is happening to Europe and the USA.

The fulcrum years where sometime about 1966-1968, when the gradual tipping of the West occurred, when overt paganism gradually insinuated itself into popular culture, when Christian values could no longer be assumed as normative, and which are now threatened with legal sanction in areas such as gay marriage.

Initially, this was a move away from Christianity towards secularism, and that is still the dominant pattern especially in the USA. But nature abhors a vacuum, and nihilism (the dirty little secret of secularism) is difficult to sustain. So now Islam is emerging to fill the void vacated by Christianity, a void which secularism cannot fill. In my view, Islam is acting as the punishing arm of God, just as God used Israel's ancient enemies as means of chastisement.
