Last night at dinner, an older woman we know had a bit too much to drink and started giving us a long rant on how Muslims are no different from Christians and Jews, and the Koran is no different from the Bible.

I was pleased to learn that our other friends at the table, though usually very liberal on most subjects, didn’t believe a word of it.

But the public schools and media are very busy trying to persuade people that Islam is as good as Christianity, if not better. With this kind of confusion out there, no wonder people don’t understand what we are fighting for.

To revise a phrase from G.K. Chesterton, "Students of popular culture...are always insisting that Christianity and Islam are very much alike, especially Islam."

Cheers!

Someone should make this ignorant woman read “Hatred’s Kingdom,” among other truths.

Christianity is the major religion in the U.S. and a major influence on the development of the present culture, so it's bad. Like children rebelling against their parents, leftists rebel against the culture and history of their country. Islam is minor and with little influence, so it's good. Any religion is considered acceptable as long as it does not challenge the dominant secularist belief system and has not had a role in the development of America.
