All ideologies and religions have a simple bottom line. For example, the bottom line of Christianity (and Judaism, also, since that is where it originated) is "love God...and love your neighbor as yourself).

But the bottom line of Islam is "kill the Christians and Jews and everyone one else that refuses to convert...kill them wherever you find them.

Is it just me, or does that sound like a permanent problem for Christians and Jews and all non-Muslims?

The biggest division among Britain’s youth is no longer class, it’s religion. For one group there is MSN, the X-box, T4, Jay-Z, Diamond White, Pot Noodles, Maybelline Great Lash mascara and sex. For the other there are five daily prayers, hijab, arranged marriages, a lifelong relationship with Allah ... “I am not one of those Muslims who take part in the whole western thing, like drinking and drugs,” he said.

Notice Christianity isn't even in the running?

That's why, if you want to attack the cities that harbor Islamofascist terrorists, you'll have to include London, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Washington, DC. Because psychologically, the West has given up on itself. We've thrown our faith, our history and our heritage down the memory hole. And we've aborted a big bloody chunk of our next generation. See? No past, no future.

Do your kids believe in anything above their own impulses and appetites? Do they bow before the Creaor of Heavenand Earth? The human soul, you see, was designed to bow before that which is supremely great, and to serve Him who is supremely good. If you don't do this, your life feels shallow and pointless. And when you do find your relationship with the Almighty, you feel life is worth living. Obscure the face of Christ or ban Him from your schools, your courts, your public square --- and prepare a generarion who will lay down their lives for Allah.

Our children are spiritually and culturally deracinated because they were being raised by a godless Unholy Trinity: the TV, the Mall, and the Public School.

And --- remember what Jesus said about the empty, swept-out soul? ---radical Islam is simply flowing into the vacuum.
