Forget Motivation, Focus on Reason Why West is Losing against Islam
Frontpage ^ | August 11, 2016 | Raymond Ibrahim

Posted on 08/11/2016 2:36:23 PM PDT by detective

The most efficient way of solving a problem is to first break it down to its simplest parts—its bare-bone elements.

This was the ultimate point of a recent article where I asserted that:

When it comes to the connection between Islam and violence against non-Muslims, one fact must be embraced: the majority of those in positions of leadership and authority in the West are either liars or fools, or both.

No other alternative exists.

Both in the comments section on my site as well as those of other websites that carried the article, and through emails, many begged to differ. They argued that there are other alternatives and my distinction—fool, liar, or both—is too simple.

Obama and others constantly lie about Muslims and Islamic terrorism.

Someone needs to tell the truth.

Thomas Jefferson knew how to deal with it. We need volunteers to take out the remaining Guantanamo prisoners. Use bow and arrows AFTER using the m on a pig.

There is a constant stream of suggestions of wildcat solutions like this.

How does it all get squared and coordinated with the Constitution?

The reason why the West is losing to Islam is because the West has abandoned Christianity. Islam is merely filling the vacuum. The problem is not political. It is spiritual.

The West believes in nothing (Nihilism) and Islamists believe in “something” (something Evil, but “something”).

Satan is filling the vacuum where the West has abandoned God.

It’s as simple as that.

If we have a fool problem, that implies that the solution is wisdom; if we have a liar problem, that implies that the solution is truth.

Now just where are we going to get these?

There might be a loud clamor “COMMON SENSE” but as it turns out even this fails. Many things that have gone under that rubric have turned out to be both foolish and wrong as they have played out over the years.

Jesus came claiming personally to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one can come unto the Father (the supreme God) except by Him. How are we going to take this? If He is but an alias for our “COMMON SENSE” then He is going to have all the problems of same. This would scarcely be a faith worth practicing.

And this isn’t even a Satan problem as much as it is a people problem.

You didn’t HAVE to leave your door wide open in the winter, letting the freezing air in. But you did. (Rhetorical you) It is not right to blame the consequences on “inadequate furnace.”

Thank you for referencing that article detective. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Obama and others constantly lie about Muslims and Islamic terrorism."

Patriots, don’t overlook that “others” includes corrupt Congress. This is because Congress is letting Obama get away with lying to citizens about Muslims and Islamic terrorism. That is why patriots need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that is willing to work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump.

Electing Jesus as Lord in our hearts would be an advisable initial step. Otherwise our politics will (not might) degenerate into uncoordinated chaos.

If we want miracles in our politics we first need miracles in our hearts.

You sir, are exactly correct. That is a concise and precise explanation of what is happening. The end of the West is on the horizon.

Christ built what we call the West. If the Builder is rejected, this miracle of the world is going to go to hell in a handcart.

For such a young country compared to the world, we are going down fast (from within).

We have a comparable historical picture looking at how Israel fared in the ages after Moses. They’d get going great guns, but soon would backslide and the result would be pitiful for a long time.

To take the benefits of a highly Christian civilization for granted is simply erroneous. This is NOT asking for any official governmental Christian theocracy (not possible in any real sense until Christ returns). This IS asking for individual devotion to be real.

Because the 'female sensitivities test' controls EVERYTHING that happens in the United States of America, from the schools to the churches to the military to our government.

Females destroyed America!

And frankly. If I could be the world’s king, next to every single display of “Ten Commandments” I would put a crucifix. If we are such fools as to think that without Jesus we can come within even light years of conduct that looks like this, well I pity us. The preachers first need to receive the Lord in their hearts.

And so did males, both sexes giving their power over to what was evil.
