I don't think you're right about that one. Islamic leaders in the Middle East -- going all the way back to the Ayatollah Khomenei -- don't refer to the United States of America as "the Great Satan" because they think we're Christians. The predations of the U.S. government in imposing radical secularism in these Islamic countries has done far more to antagonize them than anything related to "Western Civilization" (whatever that term even means anymore).
I ain’t skeered of no muzzie cowards. Big and bold against unarmed citizens, woman, children.
Show’em some power, they hide in mosque, hospitals, schools, among the population.
My neck of the woods, I’d put a dozen cowboys against a hundred rags. No question about it.
At the time of the First Crusade against the Islamic invaders, the Crusaders had their own chant against the Islamic chants of “Allahu Akbar!”
It was “Deus Vult!”, Latin for “God Wills It!”

The “deployment of effective argument” is nuking Mecca & Medina without warning during the Haj ...
I merely added those Muslims who have left TROP, like Walid Shoebat, or Wafa Sultan...
It goes much further back than Khomeini. It goes back to the 6Th century.
And it's not about radical secularism, it's good verses evil spanning centuries and continents. It's about sovereign freedoms, rights, knowledge, and responsibilities, bestowed upon each of us by a common creator.
Evil thrives in a world where the above doesn't exist.
Both your posts make great points. I’ll have more comments to make when I return from Abu Dhabi in a few weeks.
You'd have to have a 9/11-type attack every day for more than 52 years just to match the death toll in abortion clinics right here in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade. Most of this is carried out through the financial support of the U.S. government.
One of the most sobering days of my life was the time I realized that the Ayatollah Khomenei's "Great Satan" description of the United States was 100% accurate.
I'm sorry to say, you're absolutely correct. As were the prophets. They foretold of a nation/city described as, "mystery Babylon/daughter of Babylon", which started out as a golden cup in the hand of God but descended into immorality.
And you point to the most important thing we need to do first, that's to return to a righteous way of life. The rest will fall into place.
There's much more to the above of course, but it's a start for a people on a planet who really don't comprehend the vastness of this world which surrounds us.
Einstein said it best, "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
God Bless

“Islamic leaders in the Middle East...don’t refer to the United States of America as “the Great Satan” because they think we’re Christians.”
I must disagree & add that they don’t like our support of Israel, either. Guess where in the ME I would most like to live.
“The predations of the U.S. government...”? You’re in Ramsey Clark territory now.
“Radical secularism”!? Study the rise to power of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who knew exactly what centuries of Islamic rule had done to Turkey, and he did secularize Turkish society to its great benefit. Now the retrograde forces of Islamism led by Erdogan seek to undo the Kemalist reforms.
Between secularism & Islamism I’ll choose the former every time. And if the mullahs, ayatollahs, & other raggaheadahs want to wage war on us for that, then they need the cr@p bombed out of them.
BTW, I can define what Western Civilization means & how it governs the society I live in. It makes this conversation possible, for example.
If the civilized world is to survive, we must recognize Islam for what it really is: It’s not a religion, form of government, or anything recognizable to the civilized mind. Islam is a disease, an incurable disease of the mind that is highly contagious among the feeble minded and is now spreading among the world’s feeble minded at an epidemic rate. As with any disease, one can’t reason with this disease, negotiate with it, or treat in any manner other than how one would treat any other incurable disease.
Past efforts to contain this disease have failed. Now, carriers of this Plague of Islam must be eradicated wherever they're found, for if they're not, this disease will eventually end not just Western Civilization, but it will undo over 5,000 years of human civilization.
Islamophobia? No. We’re not irrationally afraid of islam. We hate it, as any normal person would hate an ideology that is as full of intolerance, subjugation and murderous intent as is islam. And because it is a radically dangerous genocidal ideology, it needs to be both permanently abolished and banned from existence. Rational fear and scorn yes. Fawning over it and pretending it is something it is not because of an irrational fear or phobia of it,no. Islamophiles are the islamophobics.
No Shite, 2001 was the time, if not 2000 (USS Cole attack showed they meant business).
I will drop them, and let them lay where they fall, food for the buzzards or ants, whichever get to them first.
See something, kill someone?
