Dear Reader,

What follows below is a response that exploded forth from me after having viewed the pictures of ever-more demonstrators carrying signs and placards calling for the 9-11 type destruction of London, the beheading and slaughter of infidels, the Islamization of the West, and death to those who dare to exercise their free-speech with respect to the detailed and impartial examination of Mohammed and the religion of Islam.   These pics were forwarded from a visiting Canadian who was in London at the time, and who studiously noted that such utterly damning photos of Muslims in the West would never reach the American media, and therefore it's people.   My response below is addressed to a blessed elderly priest/monk of the Orthodox Christian Church, as it was he that forwarded me the pictures and commentary from his Canadian friend.  This letter is written from my perspective as a Christian American, and I do not have any qualms about "saying-my-piece," aware precisely of the offensiveness of such to some.  I am a layman, and an American...and I will say what I will.  I believe that it is way-past-time to both get-tough with local Islamists living freely in our midst, and to virtually end all immigration of Muslims to America until such a time that their motives for being here can be proven to not conflict with either the prevailing culture or religious legacy of the U.S.  Further, I think that the re-patriation of Islamists and their families, as well as all non-patriots to their countries of origin, complete with the immediate stripping of citizenship should be streamlined by an act of congress, or better yet, by an executive decree.  We simply cannot tolerate the threat of terror and mass-destruction of our greatest cities and institutions from those who seek to annihilate us and our way of life.  Of course, innocent people will be hurt in this process...but, many more innocent native Americans and Europeans will be hurt if we do not get serious soon, should the Islamists prevail in their stated desire to inflict widespread destruction upon our peoples.  I in no-way advocate a reverse-jihad directed against Muslims not connected with Islamism...but I do advocate a relentless and crippling blow to all Islamists and the countries that support them.  A full-fledged crusade.  Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Sudan, and Pakistan come immediately to mind.  I look forward to your comments.  Below, I try to make the case that Christian pacifism is wrong...and that Islam is fundamentally not respective of either Christianity or the Western ideology of liberty and E Pluribus Unum.    Thus, in remembering our heritage... I invoke "in God We Trust."   And with respect to the United 93 passengers I say, "Let's roll!"

{The signs themselves, along with commentary, have been provided at the end of this piece.}

Bless Father Simeon...a slightly more erudite and less-inflammatory rhetoric follows below.  Feel free to send it out, I would like to test-the-waters and see if there is anyone who is at all in agreement, or if I my perceptions of being very, very alone are indeed valid. 

Peace...





These pictures that you have attached about the militant nature and designs of Islam in Great Britain are an example of just what I have been trying to make everyone aware of...with little success.  So, I feel the need to respond.

Allah is not our God!  Allah is not the one true God.  "Allah" is just another tribal guise of the devil, successfully and once-again, masquerading as Divinity.  The differences between Allah and the Christian conception of Jesus Christ are not in anyway reconcilable.  Muslims know this, why don't we?  KNOW THIS! 

Why do the Muslims have their Holy Day on Friday???  It is because it is the day that Jesus (God-the-Son and Creator of All) was tortured and killed.  Things like this are no simple accident or co-incidence!  Friday is the day of satan, it is the hour of darkness when our Lord suffered and died on the Holy and Life-Giving Cross...the Islamic Holy Day when the Umma hear WORLDWIDE from their mosques that Jews are the offspring of pigs and monkeys, that Christians are Pagan Polytheists…and the Muslim faithful are heartily encouraged to go forth and sinlessly slay the jews and infidels amongst them, wiping the Great satans...America and Israel off the map of humanity. 

We cannot be complacent or naive, burying our heads in the proverbial sands of our own erroneously placed collective guilt.  We must shred ourselves of our innately good and Holy inclination to be "inclusive," or seek specious dialogue with those who only will use our well-meaning gestures as tools to destroy us.  We have no religious obligation to be "inclusive" or tolerant of evil in any form.  Au contraire, the explicit religious obligation we have is to anathematize and struggle against evil with all of our resources.  It is a matter of preserving the precious heritage of Western Civilization, and it is a matter of standing for Christ and His Church.  We must draw the line.  Period.  We must draw the line, in spite of our sins, failings, and shortcomings…letting nothing lead us astray from our ultimate goal of Western and Judeo-Christian preservation.

Any God that is not Jesus Christ is not the One True God, but an impostor and a demon!  (Christ in the Judaic and Messianic sense as foretold by the Prophets...there is No other.)  It is that simple.  Let us not be seduced into a vague semantic exercise of theological equivocalness.  There truly is only One God, but it is not Allah, it is Jesus Christ...and there is no middle ground.  Islam is a totalitarian ideology with no room for the authentic Jesus Christ, or even the most elementary concepts of liberty, freedom, or the centrality of a proper concept of volition.

Muslims have a different Jesus.  I will not blaspheme our Lord by providing you with the litany of their despicable testimonies.  They do believe in the Virgin birth, but not the Divinity of Jesus.  They abhor the Trinitarian concepts that are the fundamental revelation of Christian theology...and they make every attempt to slander our Faith while having no real knowledge about it, or even their own history with respect to such.  The ways of Islamic expansion and pacification of non-Muslim societies are through Jihad and the sword, not peace, tolerance, or good-will at all.  And their methods are murderously demonic, just as is the dubious conception of their ideology from it's very inception.  Their religion Koranically authorizes the intentional slaughter and subjugation of innocents in the name of Allah.  Nowhere in the New Testament is anything even remotely similar to be found, nowhere is it permissible to intentionally slay innocents, for any reason, whatsoever.  This is the qualitatively distinct bottom-line.  Virtually anywhere on the globe (and the UN confirms this) that there is trouble, war, slavery, religious persecution, genocide, dislocation, refugees, and "hot-spots," it is overwhelmingly to be found amongst Muslim people that can't get-along with their neighbors or their host countries.

Muhammad was taken by the throat by the devil, whom he assumed to be the Angel Gabriel.  Remember that the Holy Arch-Angel Gabriel appeared to the Blessed Virgin and announced to her the Great Joy and salvation of humanity that was about to be manifested within her…and Holy Mary said “Yes.”   No throttling of the throat, no threats of annihilation.  Holy Angels of God do no such thing!  Even St. Michael the Arch-Angel did not bring himself to hurl even a railing accusation at lucifer on his own, but deferred instead to the Almighty and simply said..."may God Himself rebuke you, satan!" 

Muhammad, in reality, experienced a demonic attack, and soon afterward he appears to have succumbed totally to such, and vowed to destroy the Christians and Jews...and everybody else who would not submit to his religion and authority.  The legacy of Islam is replete with death, terror, torture, torment, enslavement, sexual enslavement, conquering by the sword, annexation, subjugation of women, and subjugation of infidels through the Koranic taxation of extracting the Jihza from Dhimmies.  All of the above are perfectly legitimate under Shari'a law and the Hadith.  Islam, (like old Judaism,) is strictly a religion of "laws."  If the Koran didn't mandate these atrocities...Islam couldn't justify the commission of them.   However,  the Koran indeed explicitly does authorize and legitimate all of these atrocities.   No other religion, to my knowledge, does any such thing.   Islam makes a mockery of the Ten Commandments.

Christians and Jews have always been the Dhimmies.  It is through the extraction of taxes and the plundering of our co-religionist's wealth and real-estate that the parasitic expansion of Islam has been enabled and facilitated since the seventh century...and definitively not through honest work and a good, creative moral and economic sense.  In other words, they stole it.  The same thing is occurring today.  This "alien" consciousness seems to be a blending of at least three primary elements. 

1.  The first is Divine Entitlement coupled with the automatically ensuing sense of cultural as well as individual superiority with respect to other Faiths and the practitioners of such.

2.  The second, is the stunning opposite reality of cultural degradation and technological/political/societal backwardness, that make Islamic lands utterly dependent on Infidels for virtually everything.  (Even many of the forms of their worship were adapted from Byzantium Greek Christianity, because they had not yet developed structures of their own.)

3.  The third is the ensuing humiliation arising from a perfectly understandable cognitive dissonance resulting from the total incompatibility of the first two elements.   These combination of factors give rise to a demonically energized and violently collective cognitive dissonance and insanity...as anyone can readily appreciate given the above.  

Today we see a somewhat new-fangled continuation of the ancient system of Islamic plunder.  We pay them huge money for oil, thus providing them with incalculable wealth, and in doing so we give them the rope to hang us.  They spend this wealth not on the downtrodden of the earth, nor upon endeavors that will lead to scientific advancements that could alleviate universal human suffering, but alternatively on sponsoring Jihad and the annihilation and Islamization of the West.  They feel that it is Allah's will that they should be wealthy and that they are divinely entitled to extract payment from infidels.  It has nothing to do with the "creation-of wealth" and liberal economic policies.  It has everything to do with Islamic supremacy and the absorption of the Western world under the umbrella of a world-wide caliphate.  This is the "One-World-Government" that the political left refuses to acknowledge...probably the only threat that is in fact very real.  What remains of Christendom is all that stands in their way in the West.  That has been the goal of Islam forever, the destruction of the Christian Faith…the one True Faith that has (both East and West) stubbornly and steadfastly thwarted their evil encroachments for over a one thousand three hundred years.  

It is always the manifestly obvious, "signature," and trademark "work" of the demonic that endeavors to destroy the Holy Church of God.   Period. 

Where are the once-powerful and devout Nestorians?  The Monophysites, the Orthodox Byzantines who originally Christianized much of the  territories now under Islamic control?  Where are the Assyrian Christians, the Melkites, the Maronites of Lebanon, the Copts, the Native Roman Christians of North Africa (one does remember St. Augustine)?  They have been all but annihilated in their traditional home-lands.  Even in secular Turkey, the remnant of Orthodox Christianity and the one-time-center of all ancient Patristic Christianity, Constantinople (Istanbul,) is but 2% of what it was only 75 years ago (3,000!)  Yes, this same "secular" Islamic Turkey that slaughtered 5-6 million Armenian and Greek Orthodox Christians only some 80 years ago! 

What is happening at present in Iraq to the Assyrian Christians is nothing new in Islamic history.  The enforced mass migration out of their territories, homes, and neighborhoods...even in present-day U.S. controlled Bhagdad is a result of Islamist threats of indiscriminate annihilation and/or the Koranically mandated subjugation to the Jihza Tax of the Christians in their midst.  The onward onslaught of Islam conquered Spain for 750 years, and brought the battle for Europe within a few miles of Paris until they were defeated at Tours (732 A.D.) by Charles Martel. Then, centuries later Turkey conquered Greece for nearly 500 years..not stopping until they drove through the Balkans, enslaving and taxing the Christians with the cruelest tax of all...the tax that appropriated their young boys and girls...stopping and being turned back at last only at the very gates of the great city of Vienna in 1683 by the Polish King Jan Sobieski. 

Sobieski responded to the plea from Emperor Leopold and the Papal Nuncio to bring his Heavy Calvary and Army to save the city of Vienna from Turkish forces who were primarily made-up of Janissaries.  Janissaries were fanatically indoctrinated Islamic soldiers, who were taken from the Christian communities under Islamic control as part of the child tax I had mentioned earlier.  (It was the Janissaries who finally brought-down Constantinople in the 15th century.)  Thus, the expansion of Islam was facilitated and enabled by the enslavement and Islamic indoctrination (brainwashing) of Christian (and other) children taken from their homes as a tax to the Caliphate.  Other boys and many young girls, of course, served as slaves and concubines for the pleasure of their overlords.  To this day, this memory of the child-tax in the Balkans is still the very cruelest of wounds.  This "tax" continued unabated into the early 19th century, thus impoverishing the communities not only of the fruits of their labor, but also even the means to replenish their societies, their (Orthodox and Catholic) faiths, and the ability to pass-on their regional traditions, as well. (For those of you who would want to learn more on the subject of Islamic dhimmitude, I would refer you to the very erudite works of Bat Ye'or...but you must have a strong heart and an unpolluted mind.)

It is not a matter of being racist, dear Father...it is a matter of having the courage and HUMILITY to look the devil-in-the-eye and behold the wretched face of the terrible truth that is almost impossible to endure.  It is not an easy thing to do…that’s why so many refuse to acknowledge the ugly fact.  And it is fundamentally a matter of witnessing for Christ.  The Islamic peoples are deluded through a demonically energized faith that is in no-way compatible with Judeo-Christian faith or a liberal Western political ideology.  The Islamic world knows this and say so themselves…it is only us, in our reflexively naive genuflections toward a blind multi-culturalism coupled with our cultural abandonment of things "Christian" that presume to view Islam not for what it actually and in reality is, but what we would like it to be, as seen from within our own newly-acquired cultural paradigms.  Paradigms that have no evidence of existence from within our vast and well-documented Western (Roman/reformed) or Eastern (Orthodox) Christian past…but alternatively, are rather novel and new paradigms that have been easily and intentionally implanted by the very enemies who now conspire to destroy us. 

Islam is but the latest manifestation of this threat to the Christian world.  In the last century alone we saw that both facsim and communism sought to accomplish the same annihilation of the Church of God, and of Western society as a whole. Interestingly enough, the Islamic nations and peoples were both allies of Hitler and the Soviet Union, in war as well as peace.  Thus, I am very sorry to say that it is my belief that we cannot expect too great a help from Orthodox Russia in the over-all war on Islamism.   The Eastern European countries who were once under Soviet control are another story, altogether. Upon many of these countries we can now depend. They happen to know, far better than most of us, what tyranny really is.  They also are much better at recognizing it when they see it.  Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Rumania, and the Baltic states, to name just a few.  One should refer to the recent addresses of the Czech President  Vaclav Klaus, as an example.      

This is WAR!  Let no one argue otherwise.  There is no moderate Islam, if there were, it would have revealed itself by now, (though there may be moderate Muslims.)  In fact, people who constantly say that all Islam needs is a "reformation" are totally ill-informed in my opinion.  Islam has already had it's reformation.  It occurred in the 19th century in Saudi Arabia.  What we are witnessing at the present time within Islam, throughout the entire world, is merely the consciously designed and well-orchestrated strategy of this reformation being implemented before our very eyes through Islamic Jihad.  This Saudi reform, which has swept the world, is referred to as "Whabbism." 

As a result of the ongoing activation of this "reform," and awash in unspeakable oil wealth, as well as criminal wealth milked from hard-working and vulnerable peoples throughout the world...Islam is now witnessing our moral equivocation and our religious/cultural death throes, and is ever-increasing the intensity of it's jihad in order to eventually close-in for the kill.   The reason  "moderate" Muslims stay moderate, is that they sense that the West will not and cannot win against the religion and jihad they know only-too-well is capable of stopping-at-nothing in order to prevail, and they can't afford to back a loser.  They view the West as decadent, decrepit, weak, and soulless.  Thus, they place their bets on the Jihadists, hedging only when they must.

The Islamists have really performed quite masterfully, while we the Western Public, (not our military or President Bush, Blair, et al) on the other hand, have barely begun to even acknowledge that the "game-is-on."  Shame on us. 

Their Saudi Imams have given Bin-Laden the go-ahead to kill up-to some 250,000 Christian and Jewish infidel Americans in a single strike WITHOUT incurring sin!  And every day the number increases.  It is only a matter of a very short time, before they make good on their efforts.  It is an easy thing to do...only timing is of concern.  The West is wide-open.  Anyone can kills us...and don't think Bin-Laden hasn't access to nuclear devices...both the British and the Israeli intelligence says that he indeed does, and that dozens of such devices have already been smuggled into our country.  

What are the targets?  New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, and Miami.  Why Miami?  Cuz there are lots of Jews there. 

This is war...and the moronic anti-Western Orthodox Christian pacifists, (OPF) as well as others in Europe, England, and America are not helpful.  Neither are the Orthodox nationalists in Russia.  They ALL see America as the problem...and their hatred of America, England, and the ROMAN/CHRISTIAN West is greater than their hatred of Islamic butchers who rape, torture and behead pre-pubescent Christian girls on their way to school in the morning in countries like Indonesia and Iraq!  These people are more than mistaken, they are in risk of damnation.  For did our Lord not say, "that no man has greater love than he who lays down his life for his friends?"   Yet, the pacifist do NOTHING.  Nothing but cunning words hurled as weapons against the West, only pointing back-upon themselves as evidence of their own intellectual dishonesty.

It is absolutely NOT Christian to do NOTHING!  You can quote all the scripture that you want, but your flowery words just don't cut-it.  Using scripture to be an accomplice in the enforced euthanasia of an entire people, or to excuse even ONE, is not credible...but that is what is happening.  When Christians, their Churches, and some Western governments align themselves in political array exactly along the identical lines that Al-Qaeda does, we have a big problem.  Christian pacifism (and the Orthodox Christian pacifists as well) are almost invariably linked with leftist politics, anti-Western, anti-American, anti-zionist sentiments, as well as anti-free enterprise/pro-socialistic agendas.  These so-called "Christian pacifists" tend to understand conflict in terms of hard-line communistic doctrine connected with alleged economic inequalities rather than in terms of the fundamental Christian notion of Good vs. evil.  The heart and soul of the new political and religious left has always been volcanically (and dishonestly) centered around issues connected with money and the distribution of other people's wealth...and decidedly not around traditional Judeo-Christian concepts of the moral and spiritual struggle of Good vs. evil.   Comprenez?  This confusion of temporal ideologies with Christian ones was instrumental in severely injuring the Roman Church in the 1960's...and is well-documented.

To be a Christian is NOT to be a pacifist.  We must fight.  This idea that we can simply submit to the Islamization of the West is beyond ludicrous.  It is suicide, and suicide is a grave sin. The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.  Where is our "struggle?"  Where is our Christian Crusade?  If our "crusade" is an action only of our poor minds and good intentions, or of our most elevated and sweetest feelings, or our self-centered politically-correct and narcissistic passions, it is nothing at all.  In fact, it is worth than nothing, it is damnable.  The Christian struggle is body, mind, heart, and soul.  It is the laying down of our life for our friend, our family, for Christendom.  Wake-up you Orthodox Christians!  Christendom is larger than us and our 80 million dead under Stalin!

When will the enlightened post-Christian West awaken to the plain and obviously evident fact that the rest of the world is not like them?  When will they dawn to the realization that these Islamic peoples, (and Orthodox peoples) have never had an enlightenment, a renaissance, a reformation, or a separation (not alienation) of Church and State?  That freedom, individual liberty, human rights, minority rights, woman rights, etc...are anathema outside of the CHRISTIAN WEST! 

The West is unique, and it ALONE is the holder of the keys to the future, and once we recover our Christian heritage from the fog of deceit and lies that have been fashionably invoked in order to obscure it, the world will be a better place.  There is no doubt. 

We Americans became Orthodox because of the Holiness of the Liturgy, the purity, ancientness, and consistency of the theology, as well as the Witness of the Saints and Holy Martyrs that we remember and commemorate every day in our prayers...and this is good, right, and true.  We became Orthodox because the Western Churches, by-and-large, abandoned the Traditional Faith after the debacle of the 1960’s and Vatican II.  But, let us not make the errors of throwing out our heritage because the Western Churches have failed to adequately adhere to time-tested Christian doctrine in a post-modernist world.  Nor let us make the fatal error of thinking that their (alien) cultures are superior to ours.  It just t'ain't so.

The sword of Islam looms ominously over the head of all Muslims.  When it is removed, the race to FREEDOM and to the True Faith will be Huge.  Imagine:  what we perhaps should do in the West is to simply provide amnesty for all Muslim women who are escaping oppression in their homelands...on the condition that  they leave Islam and embrace totally their new cultures and religion.  Personally, I think that Muslim women are quite eligible for political amnesty based upon undeniable charges of religious persecution.  But, we hear nothing from the worldwide Women’s movement and N.O.W. with respect to their plight.  They are too busy getting more abortion rights, I imagine.  Think abit…How long could Islam endure with their women leaving en masse?  No, maybe we should  just go get-em, pull-up the ships and open the doors to the airports.  We couldn't handle the deluge, but what a humanitarian gesture!  Then, almost over-night, Europe’s future demographic problems  would be solved.   Living without Muslim men and Islam, these women would be free to integrate into their host nations, culturally assimilate, worship joyfully, learn true history, marry infidels, have families and jobs, and raise children brought-up in a markedly better world than the one they just left.  And they would find men that would respect them, care for them, and love them.  We can look at it as kind-of-a-tax on (Islamic) Infidels...(it works for them.)  But we would "take" only those willing, and would do so in order not to enslave, but solely to liberate.

Truth is, most all Orthodox countries are, and have most always been terrible places with respect to human rights and opportunities.  In Orthodox lands, God is "Caesar’s junior partner," as Samuel Huntington has astutely observed.  It has been that way since Byzantium, through both Czarist and Stalinist Russia, and it remains much that way today.  So, stop with the romanticization, already.  Orthodox lands will have a difficult road to democracy, but they will eventually get there. Most Islamic lands on the other hand, most likely never will.  Free, open, and democratic republics are for Islam merely another perfect example of Western Infidel Imperialism.   So, they need our constant bombardment and pressure to liberalize.  "We must convert them, or they will conquer us," paraphrasing Bernard Lewis, the Western world's most eminent and esteemed Islamic scholar.   The Islamists know and tremble at the fact that our treasures of liberty and freedom are their fatal poison.  Yet, many Islamic people cry-out for us to help, for they know that there is no one else who can assist them. 

The caveat is:  We can't truly help them or save even ourselves, unless we acknowledge and re-embrace our shared Christian heritage first.  

The fundamental commonality of the West is NOT it's inheritance of Greco-Roman culture.  The fundamental commonality of the West is it's Christian genesis, experience, and identity.  The EU will ultimately fail as long as it tries to discredit such from being explicitly and formally acknowledged in it's Constitution.  Europe and America (and other Western peoples) must forge new alliances that place their traditions and interests "front-and-center," over-and-above all competing cultures, thus re-invigorating the explicit awareness of their essential unity as a civilization.   We must succeed in this in order to survive, at all.

Wake-up Christian peoples!  Are you so "star-struck" with the seductiveness of everything foreign and the exotica of les femmes noires...after so many years of watered-down post-modernist faux-Christianity and a cultural liberalism mutating into licentiousness that you are now willing to go like sheep unto the proverbial slaughter?  (I have European friends that quite frankly say to me, "I could be Muslim.")  

Believe me, Christ would not have it so.  We need to stand our hallowed ground, and evangelize the Islamic horde as Christ has commissioned us to do!  But everywhere I see weakness at-the-top, hopeless introspection, the marination-in-guilt, and religious equivocation.  No great visionaries.  NONE!  Even the Popes kiss the Koran!   The Koran that has legitimated the slaughter of millions and millions of Christians for 1400 years.  Shame, shame, shame.  No real leadership, it is a dark day, indeed. 

Extending forgiveness to those who have no remorse or contrition for their atrocities is the cutting edge of today's avant-garde spiritual elitist, and unfailingly reveals the narcissistic social-climber.   True Christians pray for the conversion of sinners.  Spiritual "pimps" just forgive all of them cuz they presume, and want everyone else to know, that they are more refined and Holy than the rest of us.   They are the spiritual and clerical counterpart of the "valley-girl" syndrome, i.e...."It's all about me."

Or would you perhaps think that your brother is not your charge, and the Great Commission of Christ, Our Lord, God, and Savior no longer applies to the present state of His Church in the present world?  Do you think that simply following through with formal ecclesiastical legalisms that you are exempted from fulfilling the Gospel, while your priceless Christian heritage is being raped and ransacked and surrendered to secularists, leftists, humanists, socialists, modernists, and Islamists right before your very eyes?  Or perhaps one might say that  "it's really all about "choice," and who am I to judge?"  It is interesting...the Greek word for "choice" is "heresy." 

You say, "I am a Christian pacifist...as God is Love and we are all children of His."

God created everything, even satan and the fallen angels.  But, He never created evil.  Some of us choose to work for the devil in one way or the other.  We must strive and struggle to be Christian, and we must make it real by paying with our own sweat, BLOOD, and tears.  Ours is not some smarmy "Virtual Salvation" like the protestants have...nor a juridical one like the Romans have, this is real Apostolic Orthodox Christianity, and what counts is only what YOU actually struggle to DO, (in Christ, of course!)   (Christian salvation for Orthodox is actually participating in the uncreated energies of God, theosis.  There is nothing virtual or legalistic about it, for He is the Living God.  It is that lost virtue of acquiring Holiness, the acquisition of the Holy Ghost that is sought, and this alone provides Salvation.  Salvation from evil...not from the world, the world is "Very,Very Good."  This is Eternal Life, and this is the Gospel.)

I love peace, but I love God...Father, Son, and Holy Ghost more than peace.  I love God's goodness more than a beguiling worldly peace. Goodness is a greater good than peace.  Peace can be had in prison, or under a tin-pot dictator, or in an insane asylum.  It can be bought with money, so it can't be that valuable.  The social reign of Jesus Christ on earth is what is Truly Good.  There is nothing greater on this earth.  Peace is wonderful, but there will be no true peace on earth until He comes and the world knows Him.  Forget this apostate abstraction and false promise of a secular and humanistic "one-world peace"...it is a lie of the anti-Western political left that Islam now utilizes. They, like satan, have been liars from the beginning.  Our enemies play us for the fools that we are.  They have no such reservations with respect to their "peace," however.  For them, it's all America's and Israel's fault.  Armed with lies and theology, they provoke and prick our Christian guilt, and then blame us for the evil that they-themselves do.  A strategy right-out of the old Soviet playbook. 

There will be hell to pay.  That's what I think.  And those who do not take a firm stand will miss the most important opportunity to have actually done-something-good, as they make their final stand before the awesome judgment seat of God.  For to squander a glorious heritage such as ours with inanely stupid and empty platitudes, shall be terrifying before God.  I for one, would be terrified, if by my hands...the Gospel were not preached to Islam and the world, and the Christian West were to be lost on my watch.

By-the-way...Orthodox Russia will not save even itself, much less the rest of us.  They are dying, and will not recover from the accumulation of their own transgressions and the spread of their pernicious errors throughout the world.  They are already falling increasingly under a tyrannical rule that opposes itself to the West.  Their birth-rate is among the lowest in the world, and 70% of all pregnancies are terminated by abortion.  By 2015, 50% of the Russian military will be Muslim…and the Muslims seem to be the only ones who are breeding in Russia.  The average life-expectancy for a man in Russia is 58 years.  Aids is approaching African proportions, drugs, prostitution, and organized crime is rife, and yet the Church is still vital.  But, they will not be able to stand upon old-glories, or isolate themselves spiritually from the rest of Christendom.  Their population peaked in 1992 at 148 million..but will be only 130 million by 2015.  Some worse-case scenarios see Russia’s population declining to 80 million by 2050.  We will probably have to save them, too.  Again.  Right after Europe.  Yes we, the West...if we are still around given the alternative.

Orthodoxy will help to save Christianity, this is for sure...but America will save Orthodoxy.  Remember this, and repeat-it to yourselves over-and-over again. 

On the other hand, the pacifist will save no-one.  We, in America and the West have a sacred obligation.

Know your enemy (lucifer) people...he never sleeps.  And he is capitalizing on your every weakness...it is what he does best.  He's an expert "people-guy," knows the "church" inside-and-out, been at it a very long time, and is a totally equal-opportunity employer.  And boy, does he have an ax to grind with YOU.  Yup, not just the Church, or the West, or Christendom, or America...but YOU, Christian pilgrim.  And everything and everyone that you would hold dear.   Your precious little life is disgusting to him, as it is to the Islamists.  They hate you, without a (legitimate) cause.  Doesn't this sound familiar?  

If you turn-the other-cheek when you-yourself are assaulted, it is one thing.  If you turn the other cheek when your "neighbor" is mortally assaulted, while you stand-by and do nothing...it is a qualitatively distinct and different thing altogether.  For the first may be motivated by exercising wise restraint, self-control, and meekness, but the second is pure cowardice and a selfish lack of all Christian Charity.  The precise opposite of everything the Gospel would call us to do.  At this point, you have become a willing accomplice in the perpetration of evil.  With one's appeal to an elitist moral credibility thus suddenly eclipsed, the horror of the spiritual "black-hole" from which "the great lie" originally emerged is instantly revealed.  Darkness upon fetid darkness, gnashing and writhing shamelessly in-and-upon-itself, forever. 

"For insomuch as you did or did not do it unto the least of these, so you did or did not do it unto me," says our Lord."  (greatly paraphrasing)

And will one not be in fear, that the Lord Himself might then accordingly respond to us, "When I was thirsty, you gave me no drink, when I entered your house, you gave me no kiss, when I was in prison, you did not visit me. Depart from me!  For I never knew you."  At that moment, all the pacifism in the world won't help you a bit.  Millstones around the neck would have been better, indeed. 

For the whole of Christian Life is a self-emptying love which is the only source of true peace...whether it be worldly or salvific.  Christian Life is definitely not an ever-more-upward-spiraling attainment of still-newer forms of self-fulfillment, nor is it a quest for any self-centered "sense-contentment" ideology.  Christian Life is most certainly NOT any sort of "cheap" worldly peace, bargained and bought through bartering with the demonicaly energized "dead" men of Islam.  We have our own way, and it is the True One.   

Christian Life is an unending Holy and Divine Liturgy of the One Sacrifice in Christ Jesus.  It is the giving-up of everything dearest to us, even our lives, for the sake of our brothers and our Lord and the Kingdom of God.  And even for that half-dead and penniless person laying on the road, who the Good Samaritan took-in.  

Today, the half-dead, robbed, and beaten man on the road is in many cases, a Muslim...savaged and ravaged by other Muslims for the crime of trying to do or to be simply "not-evil."   It is interesting that they should be rescued by the "New Samaritan" of the world, America and the Christian West.

But, we can do nothing else.  It is in our blood, because it was (is) in His.  The true Christian will always seek to liberate, and very actively so.  But, he will also be very ready to withstand the onslaughts of Hades, itself...which presents itself again, and again, and again, in the form of Islam. 

Islam needs Christian Conversion.

These are, and shall be, our treasures in heaven...that we may one day hear the words, from the mouth of THE WORD, "well-done, good and faithful servant." 

Our heritage in Christ must NEVER be squandered or surrendered.  We must fight, and we must zealously fight now..."hating evil with a righteous hatred." 

In Christ,

   


pray for us Father...s 

The Signs:  fashionably presented by sterling subjects of Her Royal Majesty the Queen, in full "Islamic-black" for the "less-than-man-woman," accompanied by many angry, verbally expressive, and swarthy "less-than-man-men." Almost all with faces covered...jihadis and jihadettes of the new Londonistan.  (How is it that these people are never accused of violating Europe's "Hate-Speech" laws?  The same laws that maliciously cast-the-shadow of their "curse" over Oriana Fallaci's life, tormenting and stalking her mercilessly at home and abroad, to the very day of her death?)

(My commentary in parenthesis.)

1.    Freedom go to Hell.  (You're new here, aren't you?)
2.    Europe: Take some lessons from 9/11.   (Like flyin' lessons?)
3.    Be prepared for the REAL HOLOCAUST!  (Young lady dressed in black...medication has not yet "kicked-in.)
4.    Behead those who insult Islam.  (Triple points for Jews, double for Crusaders.)
5.    Europe, you will pay!  Your 9/11 is on it's way!   (Catchy...)
6.    Islam will dominate the world.    (What's left of it...)
7.    Slay those who insult Islam.       (It beats working...)
8.    Europe you will pay, your demolition is on it's way.   (Clinical Alcohol Deficiency Syndrome...true C.A.D.S.)
9.    Butcher those who mock Islam.  (Sounds WAY too much like working.)
10.  Europe, you will pay, Extermination is on it's way!  (More "killing the goose that lays your golden egg.")

     Ask not for whom the bell tolls...and we all know the rest.  In point-of-fact, bells rarely toll at Christian Monasteries and Churches in the now Islamicized lands of the once great Christian East, as Church bells have long-since been made "verboten" by the Muslim conquerers, but I will get to that later.  (A strategy we should initiate in America and Europe with respect to the Muslim call to prayer, on the basis that a screeching call over loudspeakers 5 times a day is more inescapably disturbing and offensive to the sensibilities of non-Muslims than the mere (and willfully eclipsable) sight of the Mt. Soledad Cross is to anti-Christians.)

     On Tuesday, I understand, the Pope will travel to Turkey for four days.  The Turkish security forces are in "high-alert," and there is some very rough water to be treaded gingerly by all sides.  People are marching in the streets with ridiculous signs about an Islamic Jesus, and the threats against the Pope's life are all too real.   (Wasn't it a Turkish man who shot Pope John Paul II?) 
     Now, I understand the delicacy of these operations, and I can appreciate the desire of the Pope to deflect to the best of his ability the intolerant, irrational, and murderous anger of many Muslims.  At least one Nun, a handful of priests, and even young Christian children in Iraq have been deliberately slaughtered (read as sacrificed) by Muslims in direct response to the Pope's completely logical and perfectly inoffensive exercising of his own individual right (and obligation) to freely express himself with respect to religious matters as they touch on the subject of "life-and-death."  He does not need Muslim permission, or anybody else's permission in order to do so.  (To those still irked and offended...all I can say is, "get lost.") 

     In so doing, he attempted to invoke a genuine invitation toward Muslim scholars and thinking peoples everywhere to openly debate and enter into dialogue with respect to the despicable practice of the slaughtering of innocents and "infidels" in the name of God (which is a daily occurrence in the Islamic world)...and the role that reason, or LOGOS (a term used by St. John for Jesus Christ the "Word," expressing the Son's relationship to the Father) plays in the spiritual lives of mankind. 
     Now, Islamic theology declares that Allah is beyond knowing, and he is not constrained by anything, even "reason,"  in any way, whatsoever.  Allah could, the Islamic scholars say...make us all idolaters if he wanted to do so.  (The only thing Allah can apparently not do, is incarnate himself  as a human being, or beget a divine son in human flesh with whom he shares his essential divinity...?*?) 
     Christians, on the other hand, and the Hebrew/Greek ancestral heritage of Christianity, in general...disagree categorically and vehemently.  God, and his creation is indeed, absolutely and characteristically  "logikos."   Whatever can be said about both God and His creation, it would be incorrect to suggest that anything about either can be construed as not "reasonable" in the genuine sense that Logos conveys in the original Greek Bible.   No matter how transcendent or ultimately unknowable God actually is, He is certainly not  to be characterized as "nothing," or "nothing-at-all," or "nothing-even-remotely-knowable."  This would be a "break" from everything that Western History, the Judaic Scriptures, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ  has bequeathed to us, and it would detract from the intimacy and the  immediacy of a relationship with the "Living-God," substituting in it's place a "dread, dead, and fearful" gospel of soul-devouring  demons and zombie-like life.

     Rather, everywhere we seem to "see,"  in every created realm, either Cosmic or Micro, animate or inanimate,as well as the miraculous structures for transcendant experience "inborn" within the healthy human heart and soul, something of a "signature" of the One from whom they first arose.  In everything, from the birth and death of the stars and galaxies, to the miracle of the most simple and mundane genetically encoded cellular machinery, and perhaps especially to the awakening of the soul of an innocent child sweetly sparkling to "life" from an beneficent encounter with Divine Grace...we find something knowable, some "trace" of "Him".   Like footprints in the sand, we know that we did not make them, nor did they make themselves, but are, in-fact, evidence of the One walking-ahead...from which we can either induce or infer his size, his shape, his speed, his style of gait, his weight, his burden, his ailments, his vigor, his direction, his history, and perhaps even his destination.
     As St. Gregory Palamas described it well, "God is both beyond knowing, and beyond unknowing."  When examined...this simple phrase will usher-in a sensibility and theological subtlety that is not penetrated through unrefined Islamic theological gropings.  
     In brief, it is Islam that constrains the Energies and actions and Essence of God, because they have short-circuited such with simplistic dogma of an a/meta/irrational deity, which is certainly counter-intuitive to the Christian revelation (as opposed to dogma) of "God-the-Logos, God the Son."   Thus, without divine energies operating in the rational life of a free-man, the theological and practical need arises for a very uniquely special Book.   One accompanied with many scholarly interpretations of what it all means, since God is unknowable any other way.  (Of course, Islam is not free to debate openly questions of a spiritual nature with non-muslims without fear of accusations of apostasy and reprisals of death. This prohibition against open discussion with the "infidel" is a classic sign of group cultishness, and Muslims who do so, and Muslims as a whole, are perennially at the mercy of the most radical amongst themselves. (No trial necessary, human justice is superfluous.) Thus, even in the West,  those who question Koranic interpretations may well have to live in perpetual secrecy.

     In addition to the Italian Roman Catholic Nun in (Somalia?) who was shot in the back while going to her work, (her labor of selfless Christian love for decades,) in a hospital espressly dedicated to the alleviation of suffering of indigent Muslims...there was also an Assyrian Christian priest, one of the few remaining remnants of a once richly liturgical and near-universal Mesopotamian Christianity who was abducted and beheaded in Iraq in response to the Pope's perceived "insult." Other Christians suffered from Islamic persecution as well,  not all of whom were even Roman Catholic.  Then, a few weeks later a young 14 year-old boy was accosted at his workplace in Northern Iraq by Islamic dogs masquerading as what the Western Press refers to as Iraqi "freedom-fighters."  When they demanded to see the boy's identification, it was revealed that the young boy was indeed, a Christian.  They told him, "You are a Christian sinner!"  and he replied, "I am a Christian, but I am not a sinner"..."You are a Christian sinner," they insisted.  His attackers then grabbed the young fourteen year-old boy by each of his limbs, and proceeded to saw off his head amid shriekings of unimaginable terror, while maniacally shouting the ever-popular and never-heard-enough-and-always-placatingly-sacrificial-appeal to their" Belial," or at least to "something other than the One True God"..."Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!"  
     Such a handy phrase.  Such empowerment.  Such devolved intellection.  A pitiful rationale devoid of all logos (reason) and everything loving and consistent with the nature of the True God.  Thus, the Pope has every human right (because we believe in individual rights, that dispense from the divine...as opposed to Islam, who believe in the divine suppression of such, n'est-ce pas?,) and Christian duty to raise such issues, as it cuts-to-the-heart of Christian belief, and the message of Jesus Christ Himself.  In fact, such barbaric examples of faux-sacred depravity and ritual sacrificial violence are the precise essence of but one aspect of what Christ's incarnational message is intended to, and will, dethrone once-and-for-all.  And such sacrificial violence against the infidel is exactly as prescribed by Mohammed.  

     {These (worse than) beasts, together with the others like them in Indonesia who torture, rape, and behead prepubescent tenderly youthful and beautiful young Catholic Christian girls on their way to school in the mornings, are the greatest scum that exist on the planet Earth, today.   (If you have any questions about my last statement, you need to seek professional help, quickly.)  If you know of any worse group of (ostensibly religious or not) people, please tell me who they are...for I cannot conceive of any in our present age.  This is the enemy, who are following the marching orders of the Koran which explicitly and scripturally allows, permits, and sanctions these beheadings and murders of innocents "as if they are doing service to God," (NT, JC,)   and it is high-time to "flush-"em out" and render an accounting.}

     But, let us return to the country of Turkey, and the upcoming visit of the Pope.  On everyone's mind, is the need to make overtures to the more moderate Islamic world through a visit that will emphasize the need for more (useless in my opinion) dialogue, in order to smooth-over any misunderstandings from the 9/12/06 talk at Regensberg.  And of course, it is fitting that the Pope should visit his poor little flock that worships in near-secrecy in this supposedly secular Muslim land that would wish to join the European Union...where, in stark Christian-based contrast, Mosques are built openly throughout the Continent, often financed by well-wishing Christian and Roman Catholic faithful to meet the spiritual needs of their new and less-fortunate little "brothers." 
     There is however, another factor that should not be overlooked...and that is the upcoming meeting with the Ecumenical Patriarch of the Orthodox Christian Faith, Bartholomew.  As Cardinal, Pope Benedict spent no small amount of time and energy trying to make overtures to the Orthodox leadership in Constantinople and Moscow in order to heal the wounds of the schisms of the Churches.  The history is rather long and complex, but intriguing nevertheless...but I will not go into it here.  The point that is being made is that there does seem to be an awareness that some kind of formal Christian Unity is more pressing now than it has been in the recent past.  I would think that this is the Pope's goal, and I believe that he is much more "right-on" and "on-top" of things than we generally know, or that the media could ever know, lamentably undereducated and woefully indoctrinated as they are. 
     On the other hand, the Islamists must sense a perilous presence with the Pope on former Christian soil.  Their claim to legitimacy is precarious and subject to being trumped.  And the specter of a Western (Christian) awakening ("we have had enough!") is all-too-real, and they can sense it.  (At some point, the West will call the Muslim "bluff," it is only a matter of time..but, then again, timing is everything.)  I think that one simple fact is undeniable, and it shall eventually be generally realized...that Constantinople and so much more of the Middle East and North Africa and the Balkans will not endure in the absence of a formidably troublesome and ghostly Judeo-Christian memory, rendering their current national and religious legitimacies as forever haunted and ultimately doomed.  

     Islamic history is the Mother-of-all Holocausts, it will not go unquestioned or unresponded to forever.  A "reckoning" is bound to occur, and the present instance of the Pope's visit to Holy Constantinople and Agia Sophia shall have implications and effects both subtle and profoundly sublime.  With such a visit by such a man, history's collective memory rouses and stirs itself sensible.  Once awakened, it would not be surprising if it were to find itself unquenchingly famished from such a long hibernation in the sleep-land of the sacralization of the secular, which presumes to divinize every "urge."
    
     On an entirely practical level, the problem the Pope is facing is a monumental one that will require a Divine spark from the Holy Spirit in order to be consummated, for sure.  The obstacles are at least two-fold. 

     Firstly, the Roman Church has lost a great deal of its former clout throughout the world since the Second Vatican Council.  In Europe, America, and the West in general, it is a mere shadow of its former self.  This is complicated by long-standing cultural and historical obstacles that have involved reciprocal genocide and mutual distrust, associated with arcanely detailed theological disputes of profound significance to the understanding of the Christian Faith.  These factors alone would seem to not bode well for any high-level rapprochement, but to make matters worse...even the Orthodox themselves are splintered and separated from one-another along jurisdictional lines.  Thus, the EP Bartholomew is essentially powerless to effectively rally the troops without substantial on-the-ground support.  (Besides that, he is not wealthy.  The Turkish government has confiscated "tons" of Bartholomew's church property including schools, hospitals, seminaries, churches, and even cemeteries. 
     There has been a gradual decline in the native Greek-Byzantines in Turkey for 1000 years now.  At present, there are 3,000 Orthodox Christians in Istanbul, which is but 2% of their number in the 1960's.  This once splendidly cultured Bastion of the Christian world, the greatest city on the earth in its time, which bequeathed to us the Great Councils of the Early Church and Ancient Christian Centers in places such as Antioch, Nicea, Ephesus, Constantinople and so many more, now hosts but a few slenderly scattered Christians.  The slaughter of some 3 million Greek Christians (native to Asia Minor since Alexandrian and Roman/Byzantine times) in the early 20th century by the Turks is very well-documented...not to mention the Armenian Christian genocide of almost the same magnitude at approximately the same time.   It is instructive to note that this was accomplished largely after the secularization of Turkey by Attaturk.  (For those who are interested, one can search for the slaughter of the Greek Orthodox Christians at Smyrna, an event still within the agonizingly living memory of some of my old and recently deceased Greek-American friends.)

    Secondly,  there will be great pressure coming from the very influential and powerful Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow for the Greeks to distance themselves from the West.  Of this, I am almost certain.  This is partly a legacy of Communism, and partly the legacy of an extremely strong sense of Orthodox Christianity felt on the part of the enigmatic Slavic peoples as being the last true and faithful repository of the genuine Christian faith.  This sentiment is not to be off-handedly begrudged.  The failure to take the Russian (and other Slavic) peoples seriously has been, and is, an unmitigated disaster on the part of the West.  For now, the Russian government is knee-jerk opposed to most American and Western interests.  The convoluted interplay of the Russian Church and the history of the Russian peoples as it plays-out in Russian government and society today is no simple study...but the understanding of its dynamics may mean the difference between ultimate success or failure.  In fact, when Cardinal Ratzinger approached the Russian Orthodox Church to discuss what Unification with the West might look-like, he was told to essentially "take-a-hike."  These are a proud people with a rich and vital Church that they are straining to reclaim, and which has suffered tremendously under Communism.  They won't be caving-in now to any watered-down Christian modernisms from (in their perspective) an apostate and heretical Pope.  But, the Russian Orthodox have their own problems, which are largely based in a very perplexingly strange kind of Slavic denial about their own ecclesiastical past, for one...and their indebtedness to the West and the Roman Catholic presence and influence from Catherine-the- Greats time, for yet another.  
     So, it won't be easy...but it is the hard work that has to be done.  To my way of thinking, the Roman and Reformed West has more to learn these days, traditionally, theologically, liturgically, and pietistically speaking from the Orthodox East rather than vice-versa.  In fact, the Eastern Orthodox Christian legacy holds the key to a Western reinvigoration of it's own Christian heritage, in my humble opinion.  (But, this is a story for another time.)
     The one thing the Roman Church does indeed have, (or did indeed have) however, is a highly centralized organizational expression of it's Church.  With a single head, the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on Earth, not only represented visibly the leadership of Christ and the Magisterium of the (One-Undivided) Church, but once actually wielded that power and authority to make it's authority real throughout the world, in an efficient, final, and practical way.  There is no single organizational equivalent within worldwide Orthodoxy.  None.  And no single Orthodox equivalent of the  'Pope."  There are many Patriarchs and Bishops, some of which are not even in Communion with the others.  (It is something of a "sadly ironic joke" among the Orthodox, that their leaders will spend more time and energy discussing Ecumenics with Catholics and Protestants than they do with each other.)  
     And this is what the East must learn from the West...that the Collegial System of equal Bishops must not be allowed to run-amuck within insular ethnic and nationalistic Orthodox jurisdictions, thus sabotaging the greater pragmatic and indispensable theological goal of Worldwide Christian Unity.  Unity is not a sentimental fantasy, it is the Prayer and desire of Christ Himself on the night that he was taken-up.  (Protestants worldwide must acknowledge the same, and be prepared for some substantial internal shake-ups of their own in order to best facilitate this goal.)  Thus, it is not a theologically dispensable commodity, but rather...it is an absolute imperative.  (I think that I would like to write more on this topic at a later date.)     
     Also...the Christian world is, in spite of their "alienation" from one another...not at "war" with one-another on the grounds of any theological disputation, and none is even remotely thinkable.  The Sunni/Shite divide has no practical counterpart in contemporary Christendom.  You can be sure, that when the Muslims succeed in subduing and slaughtering us, they will return rapidly to continue their customary prediliction of slaughtering one-another, asap.  Absolutely.  That is the ultimate and inevitable legacy of a (false) theology without any recourse to Logos.

     Mark my words, there is no doubt about it. 

     God Speed, Pope Benedict and Patriarch Bartholomew. 

     The world really does depend on you...no pressure, though.

     And oh yes, one small part of being a Christian "dhimmi" in Islamically conquered lands involved the total annihilation/prohibition of all Church Bells.  So, the Monastics called their people to pray with the beating of a log with sticks in a rhythm like this.   XxxxXxxxXxXxXxxx, XxxxXxxxXxXxXxxx.  The interesting point to take from all of this, is that if you visit Greek and other Orthodox Monasteries in the U.S.A today, you will not always hear Church Bells at the 3:45am call to prayer, what you will hear though, is this...XxxxXxxxXxXxXxxx. 

     Talk about the Stockholm Syndrome!  God help us all.  

     Don't you see, that this is YOU and I and our progeny 500 hundred years from now?  Forget your history, and there won't be any.  The history of our future according to Islam, is already written entirely in Arabic. 

     God Bless.
    


    

 

      

     The results of the last election show one thing very clearly.  And no, it is not simply a disenchantment with Iraq, or a vote against the Republican "Culture-of-Corruption," or even a simple and sometimes healthy desire to provide for periodic change.   The results of the last election reveal most-strikingly one crucial and glaring characteristic, i.e., the persistent failure of many Americans to "abstract" beyond themselves and to recognize  Islam as an ideology fundamentally inconsistent with Western Cultural values, and quite literally lethal to themselves and their  families.
     Now, I said Islam, and not  "radical" Islam.   When there is a rampant  reformation of the Islamic Faith,  perhaps I will qualify my terminology.  But, for the time being...Islam, as it has overwhelmingly and historically been, is inherently and scripturally predisposed to violence towards all other cultures and faiths.  This is the Islamic equivalent of "evangelization," the means being realized through the armed struggle of Jihad.  (Don't question it, and don't get in their way.)

     We see that the radical Islamists are not appeased by our efforts to dispose of Republicans and to discredit Bush.   Also, we see that we have gained no greater stature in Europe, or in the world as a whole, as a result.   The Islamists (some 300 million and growing) still want to kill us.  They still wish to impose Sharia law in otherwise sovereign Western lands.   Paris still burns nightly.  They still invoke violence against innocents on a worldwide scale.  They still wean their youth on a hatred that makes xenophobia a complimentary term (child abuse), and still nourish their peoples on a mono-diet of pure lies.  They still want to slaughter Jews, Crusaders, and Infidels...everywhere.   And there is no movement within Islam that has the ability to temper their passion to deaden all that aspires toward the Objective Good, whether it should exist within their own culture, or without of it.

     But, I want to digress a bit, and speak about us. 

     I have written in the past, that the key to survival of the West lays solely in the re-discovery and re-embracing of its Christian heritage.  Like the Prodigal Son, we must return.  If you believe otherwise, then you have learned nothing from either history, human nature, or Christian theology.   I  am fully aware of what I say, and I do so without apology.   The energy to combat  the  "energization-of-evil," which Islam embodies, is not found outside of faith in the TRUE God, (If I may be so bold...Islam is not compatible with Judeo-Christianity, thus Allah is not the true God.)  The humanistic, atheistic, socialistic, liberally ecumenicalistic, "scientific," and Marxist paradigms are useless when confronting another more dynamically energized totalitarian ideology, such as is Islam...simply because the former lack a Divine reference and source.  There is no higher authorization for atrocious evil than exists in a mono-theistic Deity's invocation for such.  

     Everyone is weary of war, yet the victory goes not to the swift but to those who endure.  The hatred of Americans towards Bush and his people, of Republicans, of Christians, and even America exceeds even their own cognitively perceived hatred of an illusive and sly enemy such as Islam, that has always excelled in the politics of deceit.    It is Koranically based and sanctioned, this deceit, you know.  The Islamic  media  has mastered the art of deception and brainwashing...easily putting the modern liberal Western revisionist elite to shame, and is now rapidly approaching the sophisticated level of what was heretofore induced via the "devils best friend," otherwise more generally known as the Soviets.  The Communists' world-wide revolution against all things Western, Christian, and freely entrepreneurial...not too mention private property rights and individual liberties divinely decreed (as opposed to governmentally decreed or divinely restricted)...along with those other infamous socialists, the Nazis, persist in being the imperialistic and deliberately deceitful mentors of Islam in many ways.

     Americans and Europeans cannot afford to indulge in their relentless stupidity. We fiddle as Rome burns.  Even Truth itself is on perpetual trial by the crazed and willfully ignorant zeitgeist.  We think not of one-another, nor of our ancestors, nor even of our own children and descendants, much less the masses oppressed by Islamic ideology, but only of ourselves.   And out of the gnawing emptiness of "what-used to-be the-place-where-guilt-did-once-dwell," emerges the implanted desire to appease the terrorist and to give Islam as a whole a "tolerance-sanctioned" total "pass" (reprieve), while the stiffling of our own free-thought, religion, historical experience, culture, and open debate is demanded for the sake of cultural "equality and balance" (a sanction that does not exist in Islam, but only in Western cultures whose roots remain Christian.)  This we slavishly do, in order to assuage our haunting, hollowed, and harassing conscience, which needs assuaging because it has alienated itself from the soul, via the new-gods of an unexamined modernism...whose reins Islamists now control.

     This is not what our beloved ancestors suffered, risked their lives, and died for us to be able to do.  It is despicable, and we should be ashamed.  We are not worthy of being called "Americans."   We "dumb-down" our claim to citizenship when we abrogate the responsibilities of such.  Our task is not to innovate or re-create, but to hand-down what was dispensed to us, articulated as clearly as possible and consistent with what has gone-before.  Our nation will simply cease to exist in any recognizable fashion, if the only requirements for citizenship are having been born here, or naturalized without significant restraints and deliberations.  From alien cultures, they come.  Some of which are by definition anti-thetical to the American legacy of liberty, individuality, and pluralism.  It is no accident that these ideals, these "discoveries," this "American Manifesto" came from Judeo-Christian peoples.  No other culture could have produced them...and it is our most valuable and treasured export and gift to the world.  We should be relentlessly propagating these values unashamedly, unabashed by any shame of pretense toward a cultural superiority.  We will first forget our true past, then we shall lose our future, which does not belong to us to have the right to lose in the first place.

     We will do ANYTHING but look to and make peace with our past.  My Swedish friend told me several months ago, when I told him that Sharia law was a definite possibility in the not-too-distant future of certain parts of Sweden, "I could be a Muslim."  In fact, he would be among the first they would slaughter, and so it likely is with you and I, as well.

     Christianity needs to be de-reformized.  There are too many doctrines without precedent in the early church. Too much ambiguity from nefarious personalized interpretations inconsistent with what has always been understood as true. Too many charlatans.  Too many churches in an Institution that was destined to be One Church. I do think that some semblance of unity is not only possible, but theologically incumbent upon us and indispensable.

     This is the only way, short of unspeakable bloodshed.   If you wish to avoid the coming Armageddon, know your Faith and defend your Country and everything it has struggled to achieve. Then the enemy will forestall and dissolve, in and of itself.    A unified (American-led) Christendom is invincible.  United we will surely stand, but just as the Byzantines and the Nestorians, the Greeks, some Slavs, the Copts, the Sudanese, and recently the Lebanese Christians, have endured near extinction at the hands of Islam...a fractured Christendom will only allow the Islamic world to continue to annihilate piece-by-piece what remains of an otherwise ancient, diverse, and once richly cultured and humanely fertile world. 

     But this is just the kind of thing that was rejected at the polls, because the people have been force-fed the toxic slop, offered-up as in Holy Sacrifice by our own media and educational institutions, that the problem really has always been entirely "with us."  This is the same old-and-tired liberal "logistic" that  the Soviets were so successful in inculcating into the wide-open Western mind.  Infinite guilt, historical re-visionism, seductive atheistic humanism unfettering our oppressed souls, and utter lies repeated until learned by rote well-enough that they gradually succeed in erasing the unpatrolled boundaries between the realms of the true and false.  (The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, for instance.)  And the perennially pernicious Euro/American "sleepwalkers" are still buying-it as the "real-thing."   Until this notion is eradicated at its root, there will be no hope at all.   Americans, indeed!  We shall have a new definition of what it means to be an American, or we will suffer the consequences.

     May God Bless America.
    

     

     Dear Friends,

     I have been absent from writing for some weeks now, and this is largely the result of the immense amount of pertinent material that has been generated as of late.  My head begins to swim, as it were, in a-thousand-seas-of-thought where merely treading water seems to be the only thing that one can do until a clarity and a purpose emerge from the currents like a uniform rogue wave that brings one to the lonely shore of finally having to look the "devil-in-the-eye."
     After a period of "too-much-education" coupled with voracious and merciless self-instruction in my earlier days...I once forlornly and perhaps haughtily remarked to my father:  "The problem is, dad...I think that I know too much."  To which my father very promptly returned my statement with the simple admonition:  "When you think you know too much, it really means that you don't know enough."  Well, as usual...he was right.

     How many "Invitations to Islam" have been directed at individuals and whole nations in the West lately?  I think I have lost count.  One must call to memory, that an invitation of this kind is either accepted with repentance, or one shall suffer the brutal consequences of being conquered, plundered, slaughtered, and extinguished from the record of history...just like the Nestorian, Oriental, and Byzantine Christians in centuries past.  Some of these people comprised large areas of territory from the middle East to China and the Pacific Ocean, having evangelized and spread their religion to many races and nations by Faith and Reason, without recourse to the sword at all.  Alas...their once-great Christian domains are not even "history."  They have all but vanished into a forbidden silence more "singular" than a cosmic "black-hole."  This is not right.
     The Pope, and recently Professor Redeker of France have both been vilified for speaking truth to (Islamic) power.  The Muslim world calls for their crucifixion and extermination, while the wimpiest in the West gasp at the unimaginable extent of the cruel and heartless insensitivities of White European Christian Males.

     There are some knowledgeable writers in the West who mistakenly believe that a secular and enlightened post-renaissance world can endure the affronts of cultural imperialism from Islam on its own pure and simple merits.  (You know...the kind of enlightened post-Christian wonderfulness that brings us things like window-whores in Amsterdam, San Francisco bath-houses, pagan-vegetarian Hitlers, and atheistic Stalins, just to enumerate a few.) 
     They are totally wrong, however.  I firmly believe that only an enlightened return to our own collective roots in our shared religious heritage will secure the gates of Hades from prevailing over Europe, America, and the rest of the world. 
     There is little that has been as vilified and historically revised in the world today as much as that which Christianity and the Church have had to suffer and endure.  It is more than fashionable, it is reflexively incumbent upon the enlightened post-modern intellect to hate the Church.  As a direct consequence, we have not the "spiritual-ammunition," or "spirit" to counter the assaults of the Islamic horde...(sometimes voracious and vicious, at others cloyingly sweet to the extent of being downright nauseating.)  A secular ideology that markets arrogant self-assuredness and institutionalized decadence masquerading as "freedom" cannot withstand, much less defeat, a totalitarian religious ideology that  appropriately challenges its fraudulent assent to credibility at its fundamental core.        
    
     The problem is, indeed as it always has been...that the West and what was once referred to as Christendom (and still is by Osama and his ilk,) is fractured along so many different fault-lines.  Western Europe is separated from Eastern Europe, both of these from Russia, all three from the Greek Christian world, and all four from the Americas, Africa, and Asia.  The collective consciousness of a long-lost unifying identity as "Christian peoples" has been aborted by secular humanistic manifestos (The Atheist Manifesto,) arcane theological/linguistic disputes, post-enlightenment paradigms, and inter-national animosities unforgotten of times long since past.
    
     Here, I will be brief and to the point.  Everything in the Western secular world did not burst forth from a vacuum.  The liberties, the sciences, the technologies, and the freedoms that we enjoy arose from a decidedly Christian consciousness (axioms taken as truth, unconscious and unexamined) in an unashamedly Christian world...in spite of whatever its historical faults.  These faults, however...are vastly eclipsed by its great nobleness, both of spirit and of purpose, as well as its destiny...which resoundingly announces the potential dignity and divinization of each and every man, woman, and child...everywhere and always without exception, neither respecting of any distinction.  Period.  I believe that an impartial reading/understanding of history will overwhelmingly bear-this-out to be true.   
     The Bolsheviks of a hundred years ago, and their descendants on the left today...have persecuted Christian religion and individual Christians in every way imaginable.  They have launched their attacks at the very soul of Man itself, and have even handily infiltrated the various Church and political/cultural/academic hierarchies to such an extent that many Christian religions and cultural institutions are virtually unrecognizable today from what they were even a mere 50 years ago.  This is essential to do, as the destructionists well-know, lest the brave "new" ideologies be hampered in their hegemony. 
    Now, all rise!  Islam moves front and center, swearing and vowing to demolish both the Judeo-Christian as-well-as the secular "religions" of Allahless decadence.  Envisioning as they do...an Islamic Europe, Britain, Russia, and America.

     There is precious little or nothing at all in-common with respect to the teachings and traditions handed down from Jesus and the totalitarian, militaristic, and religious ideology of Mohammed.  Within Christianity are the seeds for every-good-thing that people need seek and strive for.   Therein one finds love, mercy, and a compassionate and forgiving Father who wishes that none should be lost, and that all should be saved.  One encounters the Golden Rule, and the sublimely and beautifully serious words of the Lord: "No greater Love has any man, than he who lays down his life for his friends."  Absent from the Christian Gospel is any injunction to slaughter innocents, oppress others, or convert by the sword...while the Koran is explicitly replete with these.  Jesus, His Church, and Islam are NOT, in any meaningful way, compatible.  In fact, they are at great odds with one another...being diametrically opposed in virtually every fundamental way.  {Does not Islam believe that Jesus is now enjoying 72 virgins in paradise, ("and many young male servants, handsome as pearls.")  Isn't this a complete and utter blasphemy?  Are you getting the subtle distinctions now?}  It comes to mind as well, that in the entire Scriptural account, Jesus is never recorded as having even simply surrendered a smile, much less to laugh out-loud...though he is frequently found weeping for the world.  Mohammed, on the other hand, seems absolutely pre-occupied with the pleasures of this world, and is busily securing ever more of them for his earthly gratification...and rather creatively so, at that.
    
     If the West could only open-its-eyes, and see its own glorious Christian heritage that it has been bequeathed with no small loss of life and limb, and make the obvious connection to that which remains and has developed as "good" in the world today, we would have no-problem countering the zeal of the Muslim extremist with the certainty of the vastly superior "divinely-endowed nature" of our own.

     See...Christianity is, in actuality, truly better than Islam in any objective sense.  Prove to me otherwise.  Jesus is infinitely superior to Mohammed in any realistic sense.   Mohammed is not a Prophet in the Biblical sense, at all. (Think of John the Baptist, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and the others for reference and clarity.)  Jesus, together with the Father and His All-Holy Spirit is alone worthy of worship.  And the West is undeniably superior to the brutal and cruelly slavish misogynistic gulag that still exists in the Muslim world as it unapologetically reveals itself to be even today...(and for much of the last 1000 years, as well.)

     I don't know why so many people are so quick to identify the God of the Bible with Allah.  I see only division.  An unbridgeable chasm.  I note that the Islamists themselves have no real dispute with my claim.  They distinguish between Allah and the Christian God in practical ways which I will not go into here.  They call us Polytheists, and thus we deserve only slaughter and subjugation.  (Though for pretense to the West, they knowingly and deceitfully proclaim the oneness...while prohibiting its expression.)  I recall what Paul has said:  "If anyone preaches to you a Gospel different from what we have preached to you, even if it were an angel from heaven, let him be anathema."  As you know, it was allegedly the Angel Gabriel that took Mohammed by the neck and told him to write, but this is not what our Scripture tells us that Holy Angels ever do.  (Though, come-to-think-of-it, satan himself is famously known to "go-for-the neck", crush the heart, and stifle the breath.  This we know for certain.  Mohammed's encounter with his "angel" is more reminiscent of what the Church would call a "demonic attack.")

     We need to recover from our centuries of sleep and awake to our old invectives of actually spreading the Gospel of Christ and freeing the captives from their bondage to diabolical Imams with despicable ideologies, irrational and cruel men, an expressly merciless and misogynistic culture and religion, and intolerable hatred inculcated into the young.  It seems to me that even the Left could get this much right, but where are their calls against slavery in Sudan, the crucifixion and torture of Christians, unspeakable crimes against women and the young, and so many other atrocities that occur on a daily basis all-around-the-world.  No. Their energy is hatefully directed against America and her policies...which is essentially attempting to bring an end to all of the above.  So, the Left is complicit, in both here and Europe, in adding to the overall human suffering that exists in the world.   There is no other way to interpret the surreal scenario that unfolds before our eyes. 
     We need to EXPORT our values, ethics, culture, technology, liberty, free-enterprise, tolerance, freedoms, compassion, and most of all, the "Goose that laid the golden egg," Christianity itself.  We must export our culture, so the entire world can have access to it and develop it according to their own best instincts without having to immigrate West and transport those instincts here, forcing us to accomodate to things unnecessary, unproductive, and unwieldy.  
     Why shouldn't we, give me one good reason why not?  What is wrong with this?  This is what we should do and we should do so unapologetically and emphatically. It is a good and necessary thing to do, and it is what the Christian World has always done.  If we do not articulate our differences and secure without compromise the moral high-ground, offensively if we must...we, and all we hold dear and take-for-granted as simply normal for decent and civilized beings, will utterly perish without hardly a trace remaining.  This is the legacy of Islam everywhere it prevails.  Check-it-out for yourself if you would think otherwise.

     So, with dire consequences in the immediate offing, I say to you in both Europe and the Americas:  "Re-embrace and lovingly dedicate yourselves to our Christian roots, or perish!"   This is an invitation to Faith that one can actually live with.

    

   
    

    

     I have only just now raised myself from the floor after having endured without the benefit of "medication" the rant of the infamous Mr. Galloway, the MP of lost souls in the Islamic dhimmitude of the late-great state of Britain.   Dear Friends, we must make a few things clear, and we shall reference history before it's calculated and diabolical Islamic revising...so reminiscent of the Soviet modus operandi, to which Mr. Galloway and his ilk so diligently rush to genuflect.  Indeed, they do so in such a venerating and lockstep fashion as to be revealing in and of itself of their ecstatically embraced"Stockholm Syndrome."  Through these poor folk, all that we hold dear would perish were it not for that indefinable "substance" that characterizes Western Judeo-Christian Civilization.

     Firstly, Jerusalem is NOT an originally Arab land, in any historical sense that the term can be legitimately invoked.  Neither is Israel, neither is North Africa, neither is Iraq, Iran, nor Pakistan, the Balkans, Spain, Portugal, Asia Minor, nor Indonesia, or so many others.  These territories were  subjugated by cruel and murderous force, population expansion over time, intermittent massacres of the vanquished, and the relegation of the conquered peoples to a Koranically invoked despicable state of slavery and humiliation referred to in Islam (theologically?) as dhimmitude.  Their indigenous peoples were gradually displaced culturally and religiously by a totalitarian ideology that had no realistic and practical tolerance whatsoever for dissent or pluralism with respect to free religious expression, much less basic human rights of the kind of which we have now come to embrace and understand them.  (There are no basic human rights for a non-muslim outside of a capricious dhimmitude...this is why Muslim countries have failed to formally accept and honor the United Nations Declaration on universal Human Rights to this very day.)

     Bhagdad, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, North Africa including Alexandria and Egypt were largely Christian lands.  Christian lands affiliated with that aspect of Eastern Christendom that has almost thoroughly ceased to exist in the now-Muslim world.  Open your eyes and look at the situation in these lands even today...Jews and Christians dwell under perpetual threat, if they are allowed to even survive at all.  How many Greek Orthodox Christians were massacred in the 20th century in Asia Minor, their ancestral homeland?  (3 million.)  How many Armenians in theirs? (2-3 million.)  How many in the Holy Land, Iran, Iraq, Africa, Egypt?  How many in Eygpt, where Coptic Christians still comprise some 15% of the population in spite of genocide...though they are still subject to harassment, murder, job discrimination, social discrimination, and have no equal standing with a Muslim in the Court of Law.  Even a guilty Muslim.  In fact, the numbers of Christians massacred by Muslims in the last hundred years far outweighs the numbers of Jews barbarically savaged in the Holocaust of Hitler and his Arab allies.  (But even this is still distinctly less than what the talented Soviet Bolsheviks were able to manage.)

     Let us now move-on to present day Lebanon.  During and after the "civil-war" that began in the 1970's, the Islamization of Lebanon via Hezbollah really consisted in the massacre of countless Lebanese Christians and further decimated their already lamentable state by moving into and taking control over their historic territories...notably the South of Lebanon.  There was a substantial and much older Christian presence in all of these lands prior to their forced displacement and diaspora to the West.  This is not only true in Lebanon, but throughout the now Arabized Islamized countries with the exception of Arabia itself.  Today, this trend continues.  Everywhere around the globe, we find Muslims who cannot tolerate their non-muslim neighbors, and seek to kill them.

     My suggestion is this.  It is time to give Arab and Eastern Christians that have been slaughtered by Muslims their own homeland in their own historic territories.  I think that Lebanon would be a good place to do it.  Give Lebanon to all the displaced Christians, be they Maronite, Melkite, Catholic, Uniate, Nestorian, Orthodox, Oriental monophysite, Coptic, or whatever.  In the name of a long-overdue "reparations," let us make it a "Christian Israel."  Watch them make Lebanon bloom like their Jewish neighbors have done to their south.   Watch them make a cultured oasis where Europe and the whole world love to winter and flock-to.  A wealthy oasis, without a drop of oil.  Then, watch the oil-enriched Islamists shriek, when paradise comes to infidels who don't even have a seat in OPEC. 
    
     It's enough, already.  Bring the hammer down on these brainless brutes.  Freedom borne of true religion (transmitted via an impartial, religiously informed, dispassionate, and secular state) is the only thing worth spreading.  Islam does not honestly, spiritually, or intellectually merit the acknowledgment of being a true world religion in its present state, in my humble mind, and therefore must be seriously contained, until it eventually evolves of it's own efforts...with or without blood.  The choice is theirs, Islam must renounce terror, Jihad, and Theocratic Imperialism. It is unfortunate that Muslims are prohibited to convert or even to marry a non-muslim without threat of being murdered, much less question their faith.  What Western fool (other than Galloway) could countenance this demonic insanity?   The trouble is, that so many of our people do....afraid as they are to pronounce a manifestly crystal-clear and simple judgement.  Afraid to make a statement that they know is true and right, yet they are still unwilling to articulate it out-of-fear and cowardice.   They will not step forward...they are all indeed cowards, many of my Western compatriots, it's true.   I will not accord to them the benefit of simple naivety, nor forgive them for their enduring ignorance sustained by intellectual indolence.     

     I despise and loathe this ignorance on the part of the once Christianized West, maybe even more in-a-sense, than I hate the spiritually vacuous and murderously ignorant Islamists.  These both, the Islamist and the modern Western Humanist are but mirror images of one-another...both spiritually vapid beings, unworthy of their humanity, neither in the image or likeness of our Creator, but re-created in the plastically maleable image of the devil himself.  The sooner we acknowledge it as it is, the better it will be for everyone.  The Islamists are deluded from having "benefitted" as a result of their Madrases, their idolization of the culture of death and the martyrdom of the Koranically sanctioned slaughtering of infidels and even innocents, which is totally condoned under Islamic law from the 8th century onward at least, as corroborated via their blasphemously diabolical Imams from the lowest regions of hell itself.   Their  Arabistic  chauvanism/facism is horrifying and disgustingly plain to see...and has no place in any world of true mankind.  We, (what is left of us,) publically abhor the executions of young teen-age men and women for "non-crimes."  (Sex punishable by death? Aldultery punishable by death?  Conversion to Christianity punishable by death?  Praying to Jesus punishable by death?  Slaughtering of the innocents, a re-visitation of Herod, the guarantee of paradise, with virgins?)

     Oh yes, your Virgins will be 72 Roman Catholic Nuns with guns.  (Mark my words, mia poco satanista!)

     But we, the "West", have no legitimate excuse for such quiet acquiesence to this horrendous and wicked barbarism incarnate and theologically ensconced within the founding pillars of Islam.    Who will endure the harshest hell, the Islamist terrorist, or the apostate hedonistic self-absorbed Westerner who has been so intellectually and emotionally equivocated as to not be able to pass any judgement on the clearest of moral questions?  But, it wouldn't surprise me if they suffered in adjacent lower regions together.   One for doing, and the other for doing nothing.

     The West and the entire Christian world is hypnotically succumbing to the "dumbing-down" of their own history under the guise of tolerance, humanity, modernity, femininity, confused moral criteria, social engineering, spiritual-moral depravity, and political correctness.  Our enemies suffer no such handicap...as they have totally embraced their satanically singular  demoniac delusion.  They are focused like a laser beam on Western annihilation and the restoration of Sharia law under the Caliphate.  I only foresee a great battle...but a battle that the West will eventually win, totally in spite of itself, however.   Because, it is not the West that will win in the end...but a dedication to freedom and Truth borne therein.  Neither of which appear to objectively exist in either historic or present-day Islam...(though much of the Islamic world desires to explode from the shackles of their bondage and join the greater world community that guarantees them freedom from religiously sanctioned universal oppression.)

     The Judeo-Christian heritage, in spite of all of it's flaws, will ultimately prevail supreme, there is no question about it, but Europe without Christianity is already doomed, because they have alduterously abandoned their first Love.   Freedom once tasted is not forgotten. Its true source however, can be obscured or appropriated.  Beware dear Continent, the ensuing maniacal madness, uninvited AND undeserved from Islam, delivered via the devil himself, will soon transform everything, for everyone.  Of this, I am sure.  Kyrie Eliason.
