Thank God there are men (an women) who are willing to speak the truth to power!

I am thankful you are willing to call a "spade" a "spade"; that being said how do we get that message out and across to people that are purposely denying or ignoring it.

Has the United States become so vapid that we only mouth the words "freedom" knowing that they have no meaning in action. People like me are called extremist and are banned from giving sermons or talks about the threat of Islam and our moral obligation to Jewish people who are being abused and murdered in our country.

How can we call Israel the Holy Land if we are unwilling to fight for it?

The Evil that is Islam has made itself completely clear what it stands for. Are there men and women willing to join me to fight for what we KNOW is right. Our Jewish citizens that are being persecuted right here in the United States!

I for one am willing to fight arm and arm with our Jewish citizens

I am willing to fight for the Holy Land against an evil enemy!

Brothers and Sisters let us stand together...

If nothing else at least we will die in good company!

Sword of God Militia!

There is a quasi-religious perspective that revels in defeat as ennobling. By allowing ourselves to be harmed, that will supposedly awaken the dormant conscience of those who harmed us. That perspective is seen in teachings like love your enemies, judge not, turn the other cheek. It is also the essence of Gandhi's advice for the Jews of Europe during the Holocaust.

I'm afraid that as a raw matter of psychology, OBL was correct; that is indeed how people think. Not me, but most. Can we become strong without becoming monsters? I think so, but that seems to be a very difficult path to tread for our leaders.

Excellent statement. I've never understood the WeakHorse-ism of the West

This makes a lot of sense and explains why the Netanyahu model of Israeli defense policy is correct over the alternatives of the Israeli Left. It also explains why so many American Jews voted for Zohran Mamdani in NYC last month!

The strong horse argument doesn't always work.

In Turkey and Iran there is considerable disillusionment with Islam, partly due to the misery of life and the fact that Islam dominates the govt. and the govt has promised better times 'if Allah wills'.

In India, Christian missionaries report a lot of muslim converts to Christianity.

In the USA, a lot of the children of muslims become secular. There are even several comedians who make jokes about their former beliefs.

Well laid out . Suicidal empathy and self-harming tolerance have assisted the Saracin in penetrating the west . As you so rightly say , us in the west have yet to realise that we are the target in a 1400 year war . Aiding and standing with Israel must be a first if belated priority - deporting all our muslims and stopping the import of any more the next steps . Then we must get Bill Gates and his fellow eugenicists to turn their well practiced skills to “thinning out the opposition”.

Islam is highly diverse. It contains are strong peaceful and pacifist movements followed by millions. In Senegal, I met one of those, the Baye Fall (story linked). The "hippies of Senegal", they'd walk barefoot, give away coffee, and sing their prayers. To me, they were inclusive and friendly.

That said, sadly, after visiting numerous Muslim countries, I tend to agree with your general thought. Islam wins on all fronts, because in its core, it is a religion of soldiers. While Jesus died for his people, Mohammed killed others to protect his people. While acknowledging this, we must remember about the diversity and existence of movements and communities like the Senegalese religious brotherhoods, who are rigorously anti-violence.

Have we heard Muslims speak about a worldwide caliphate? Have we heard or read that Islam calls for the death or conversion of all non-Muslims? If we have heard or read these, why are we not engaged in battle with Muslim fighters? Does anybody think that the Israelis are constantly at war with Muslims because they like violence? Have we not heard somebody say, "if the enemy says he wants to kill, believe him?" Have we not seem the Muslim beasts killing and raping all over globe?

Why are we waiting for the Muslims to control our cities or become a voice in Congress?

People, wake up. Your time on earth will be very short if you don't rise up to fight the "Strong Horse". The blood starting to puddle is your blood. You, American citizens, are losing your freedom and your lives. Start to fight or bow to Allah and Mohamed. The choice is yours.

Throughout this article you pose Judaism and Christianity as existing side by side as morally opposed to Islam’s call for authority over all of humanity imposed by the violence. But that has no historical evidence. Christianity’s violent lust for power over all of humanity and antisemitism as the same engine of authority as Islam is well documented. Furthermore those things that we value in society characterized by unplugging religion itself as an arm of government has its roots in confronting the vast evil represented by Christian authority in law in the history of Europe. And especially the authority of the Catholic Church.

Well, you apparently have nothing useful to say.

The subject is Islam **now** compared to Christianity and Judaism **now**.

You mean like "today"? I am claiming recent history as well.
