A 1979 Time Magazine Article about Islam
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/21/16 | Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh

Media spins Islam then and now: Sharia Law, our U.S. Constitution are not compatible. Moral relativism, tolerance to the point of ignorance will result in national suicide

“We Muslims are one family even though we live under different governments and in various regions.” —Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of Iran’s revolution

Thirty-seven years ago, Time magazine dedicated its cover to “Islam, The Militant Revival,” and published a lengthy article, “The World of Islam,” in which John A. Meyer wrote, “We want to examine Islam’s resurgence, not simply as another faith but as a political force and potent third ideology competing with Marxism and Western culture in the world today.” It was April 16, 1979.

One of the interesting things here up front is that they say it competes with “Marxism and western culture.” While not so obviously apparent in 1979 when the Soviet Union still existed, it is apparent today that Marxism IS western culture, they are joined. So there really are only two competing ideologies...the socialist west and Islam.

The death cult is a violent, world-expansionist ideology cleverly disguised as a religion.

Islam and Marxism are joined in their goal of destroying or "fundamentally transforming" Western Civilization.

We Resist!

Western Civilization has been "fundamentally transforming" itself all along on its own.

That it has, but mostly in a trial and error positive way, not Obama's version of Marxist fundamental transformation.
