Next to keeping a loaded 45 handy, Prayer is the only defense.

Total insanity going on. We're from Illinois, and the town we live in has a significant Muslim community; huge school... it keeps expanding.

As far as prayer, I've been reading a book by Archbishop Fulton Sheen, and in the 50s, he stated that he thought Mary appeared in Fatima (Mary is evidently spoken of fondly in the Koran repeatedly, with Muhammad's daughter Fatima coming after her in importance) so that peace could be obtained with Muslims and they would convert to the faith.

I read that and said....... whaaaaaat?! We are so far from that, but since Sheen was a holy man and evidently others said the same thing he did, hopefully there's some truth to it. So, prayer, yes. I agree!

The Devil is all about Sin, Hate, Division and Death. Many “Christians” would rather see Muslims killed than brought into the brotherhood of Christ.

Yes, peaceful Muslims do contribute to the violence by their silent acquiescence however many were converted by war, slavery or terror. This is not a reason to abrogate justice for those that are guilty of crimes some which are incomprehensibly brutal and savage but certainly a reason to address them properly and sensibly.

Saint John Paul II was vexed by the “Mystery of the Muslims” but we face an existential threat that must be eliminated or we will be the ones exterminated. Coexistence with evil is impossible but we need to be sure that it is justice we seek and not revenge.
