Catholic ping!
“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, the faithful our soldiers.”
DISMANTLE totalitarian base camps/barracks.
In the end, the muslim and the agnostic/athiest all converge into the same congregation: hell.
“The god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4. Whether they be secularist or Islamic, the ability to tell right from wrong is lost to them. This should be no surprise, knowing who really runs the world system.
And in the ‘Concert for Manchester’ the headline song, sang while a 12 year old girl survivor of of the bombing, danced on the stage with Araina Grande was about a man ejaculating on a girl’s hand while she rode the ‘Dick Bicycle’”.
Europe is over
When I lived in Britain in the mid 80’s, I was shocked at the lack of religiosity. I blamed it on Socialism. People would ask me what the biggest difference was between Britain and the USA. I had been struck by the difference in how success was viewed. Growing up in the USA, successful people were to be emulated; success was something to be aspired to, no matter what avenue that success took. While living in Britain, I was often surprised/shocked to watch how successful businessmen were denigrated. I heard a radio interview from Britain, during the rioting in 2012.The girl being interviewed was asked why she was ransacking a shop in her own neighborhood. She said ‘I want this stuff.....and why does he (the shop owner) have this, he doesn’t deserve it’. The unemployment rate for youths aged 16-24 is down to around 10% now, in Britain and that’s good. But why would anyone think that they deserved something they had not worked for? The waning of religiosity is stealing the necessary character that previously meant taking responsibility for oneself........in Britain and here.
This is truly frightening when you fully comprehend what this means.
A must-read for all FReepers and their friends.
Post the article on Facebook and wherever we can spread the message.
I would have either refused to play the Saudis, or played to maim.
In countries with established churches religion was identified with the government and the ruling classes (even if the ruling classes weren't very religious). Faith came to be seen as something imposed from above rather than something rooted in the ordinary lives of ordinary people.
Socialism has much to do with the decline of religion in Britain and Europe -- the energy that traditionally went into religion turned toward socialism in the 20th century -- but affluence and consumerism may have dealt religion the worst blow.

I remember when the Vet and very successful author James Herriot died, how the British media castigated him for not having left more to charities. As if it was their treasure to spend (or get). It was brutal. Then and there I realized that GB is not like the US yet.
Very good.
......... it’s beginning to look as though secular values aren’t up to the job of opposing them. The trouble with secular values when they are cut off from their Judeo-Christian roots is that they are arbitrary. Autonomy? Dignity? Equality? Says who?
Pretty true here too but the one difference we have is the 2nd amendment and guns in the hands of citizens. Will it be enough?
The practice of Christianity is way down, and what remains has gone far left. Even the pope has gone far left. Christianity is Christianity in name only. Those who still are counted as Christians are not having babies.
m*slims are strong in the practice of their religion. They are having enormous numbers of babies, thanks to our money, their 4 “wives”, and the fact that our money frees them from the need to work.
The politicians are well aware of this. They have written off the nominal Christians as not worth their time. Not so with the m*slims. m*slims are given special privileges including the freedom to rape and murder. Nominal Christians are thrown in jail for complaining.
Yes, the m*slims are going to have an easy time of taking over Europe, and then the USA.
I wonder if these people in England understand that under Sharia law, once a place is a mosque, it can never be anything else after that. If you so much as say certain prayers in a church, it becomes a mosque. That is why they love those interfaith services. They are setting it up for later, when they are strong enough.
In the end, the choice for the West is not between Islam and pluralistic secularism. A rootless secularism will almost certainly submit to Islam. The only real hope for the West is the recovery of the faith that once inspired Christians to build a beautiful church near Albert Park in West Didsbury, England.
Good article. It echos James Burnham, Suicide of the West, which I highly recommend.
There is something to this (although Islam is indeed the real reason we are doomed). Facebook has highlighted something I've always been aware of, but now has become inescapable: liberalism has usurped religion for many Americans. As soon as one of my FB friends posts a mildly conservative economic point along the lines of, say, increasing the minimum wage ends of hurting poor people (because employers simply hire fewer people), many other people on FB respond along the lines of, “You have no compassion.” There is almost no objective argument made; it is simply about we-care-about-poor-people-and-you-don't. Overwhelmingly, the politically liberal people do not practice a religion, regardless of which box they check on a form, while the more conservative types are much more likely to go to church or synagogue regularly. (An exception are the libertarian types, who may not be churchgoers, but also don't feel compelled to prove how virtuous they are by reflexively voting for government spending on social programs.)
My point is that many people believe their political liberalism fulfills their religious obligations. And many Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish clergymen are partially to blame, having given up preaching about God years ago. Now, they lecture their dwindling congregations about how they should help “the poor” by higher taxes. Well, be careful what you wish for...
“Will it be enough?”
No, because the local government takes a dim view of citizens killing people. Only the state is supposed to kill people. Therefore, anybody who shoots a Muslim had better be in immanent danger; and not even that will work as a defense in some cities and states. Florida has the castle doctrine. Other states insist you must retreat and only when you can’t retreat (run) further can you shoot. In some places, not even then.
Our government has invited a culture here that boldly says it will enslave us and extract taxes. They have zero intentions of assimilating. We need to get to the ballot box at every opportunity to help prevent being overrun by our “guests.”
