News from the Front
News from the Front, will show that resurgent militant Islam and its allies in rogue state capitals, from Caracas to Pyongyang, are now waging a worldwide jihad against the West, planning attacks in the Philippines, North Africa, in the Muslim enclaves of France, Britain, Sweden, the “no go zones” where European police fear to go, and in the suburbs of Washington DC where Imams openly preach hatred of America. As Catherine Herridge points out in her book, The Next Wave, law enforcement agencies are interdicting a new terrorist plot inside the US, on average, once every two weeks. Since 9/11, Muslims have launched 20,000 attacks worldwide. They indiscriminately kill the infidel and secular Muslims alike. Their mission is to intimidate, destabilize and ultimately impose fundamentalist Islam upon the non-Muslim world.
Hope Builds for the Coming Muslim Reformation
The historian and theologian, Father Richard Neuhaus, opined that the difficulty for today’s Muslims is that Mohammad is the only founder of a major modern religion whose life falls within an era of pedigreed historical inquiry. Islam’s spectacular spread was brought about by brutal military conquest, rapine, spoliation, and slavery. Its culture was derived from the vanquished.
What this means is that unlike, Jesus of Nazareth, who lived in a remote corner of the first-century Roman Empire which produced few source documents for modern historians to study, the historical record of Mohammad and his immediate followers, those who conquered two-thirds of Western Christendom, is readily available to historians. The history is anything but pretty. Consequently, for today’s Muslim apologists, such as our 44th president, it is a record that must never be remarked upon.
When practically every day, news organs around the world report on the Islamic-inspired massacres of innocent civilians (almost always of fellow Muslims), one cannot help but ask—What would life be like in the West if our example of a life well lived were not Jesus but Mohamad? It’s a rhetorical question which needs no answer.
In the early months of 2017, sixteen years after 9/11, militant Islam continues kill the infidel as well. Now that ISIS is losing ground in Iraq and Syria, it has ordered its minions to kill Coptic Christians in Egypt who still represent approximately 10% of the population. Due to a recent series of killings in the Sinai Peninsula, Coptic families are fleeing their homes with only the clothes on their backs.
With Obama’s premature withdrawal from Iraq and his painfully slow response to the conquest of a vast portion of the Middle East by ISIS, the most ferocious terrorist organization yet constituted in modern times, he has allowed it to metastasize. It now has cells […]
