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.
