As your comment suggests, “who benefits” and who is responsible for doing it may be two separate groups. It is the left wing secularists who are working so hard to divide Catholics from Jews and Protestants, Catholics, and Jews from one another, because they THINK they will profit from the diminishment of religion in our country and in the West.
That is a false hope, of course. A western world without religion would quickly decay and fall to pieces. And the most obvious beneficiaries of that collapse, who would come in and pick up the pieces, are the Muslims.
We see the left cozying up to the jihadists constantly, because they hate their own country and its traditional values. They little realize what the consequences would be if they succeeded. They would be the first to go.
Good points. Thanks for clarifying my fuzzier remarks.
Right now, the secular socialists/communists are making temporary truce with the Moslems, having partially understood the statement, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” without realizing that “friend” has a strictly situational meaning.
