I read that article too and had the same reaction. The good Liberal Secularists should read Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire which deals with the Muslim invasion of Spain and France and the fall of Constantinople. Gibbon, a Pale Deistic Anglican and one time Catholic, may have thought religion was the triumph of Barbarism.

If Christianity, particular Catholicism, was a malignant force in history to Gibbon at least Gibbon had no doubts that Islam was potentially a great threat to liberty and the West. Gibbon had no illusions. A good book to read (beside Gibbon’s DECLINE AND FALL) is END OF ILLUSIONS. Another good book would be to read David Howard’s BLUE NILE AND WHITE NILE. The Madhi and Bin Laden have a lot in common.

Unlike the NYT I know the stench of a great, great evil. How can they be so naïve not to recognize it? Happy young cricketers do not become suicide-homicide bombers. The low value British schools offered him nothing –not even patriotism. Islam offered order, spirituality, brotherhood, and freedom from the moral chaos and immorality of the (dying?) Secular West.

I, like most Christians, can cultivate my own garden and peacefully coexist with Liberal Europacifist Secular Humanists. I know the Roe effect is such that power in the USA tend towards the Red States and the Sun belt of the West and the South. I am deeply concerned however that ‘hard American” is a rump state and that only the Hinterland (Idaho,Iowa Texas San Joaquin Valley) is bearing the burden of the war. Europe is almost supine. Even Britain after all can only muster 15,000 troops or so for the Balkans , Afghanistan and Iraq. France probably could not even win a war in its own suburbs against a Muslim intifada.

But no such peaceful coexistence is possible with Islamofascism. With Islam ,yes, possibly, but not with Islamofascism or Bin Ladenism.

Recently I visited at New York and Washington I had a deep sense of CIANALAS for I may never –we may never see theses places again. One day soon they may be just cinders. I find it incredible that people do not believe the extent of the danger.

Despiritualized learning is the plague or our modern Post Christian civilization. Many things are hidden from the learned and intelligent. That’s why the Big Liberals and Europacifists are so blind.

We in the West are in great, great danger. Even the feminists and sangerites need to know that if we lose their sacred freedoms then their phoney unhappy histories of “oppression” will be rubbed out as well. The day will come when women of the West will wish they had more real men..

Yes, indeed, PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION. WE are going to need plenty of both. The question is do we have enough left to counter this menace? Slowly we may be sinking and Europe is sinking faster than we are…..EXCEPT FOR THE LORD THE WATCHMAN WAKETH IN VAIN…..Ps 127.

ONE MORE THING….AL QAIDA DELENDA EST…Al Qaida must be destroyed. Muslims of honor must repudiate Islamofascism and Terrorism as well. If not they dishonor their faith and God, in my humble opinion. IF not they and we may be headed towards Armageddon....WWIII. I can see it through a glass but darkly but sense that neither Islam nor our civlization will survive such a holocaust. The cockroaches will but we won't. Who could want that? We cannot let it slide into that and it could. That is, I am certain the terrible terrible truth. It is 1936 all over again and 1939 and 1941 are just around the corner. Or maybe it is 711 and 1453 all over again.....or 1571.....only time will tell.

One of the most glaring mistakes that we in the civilized world continually make is to assume that the Islamofascist murderers who are at war with us, share our values and that the problems between us are due to "misunderstandings." They undersatnd us all too well, that is why they are at war with us. This is not a conflict over territory such as Germany and France squabbling over Alsace-Lorraine. This is an attempt to reimpose the 9th century Caliphate over Chrstianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism

What has become so terribly commonplace that it's fodder for late night comedians is the Incredulous Neighbor, the one who says, "I can't believed he butchered his wife, and children, and shot the dog. He was always so friendly and kept up his yard."
What is unique is anyone at the NYT using a phrase like ". . . until religion set him straight."

The mindless dribble of the NY Times is a direct reflection of a delicate imbalance. When a child is picked last for dodge ball over and over again they may very well grow up to write for the NY Times. These expressionists need to convey the holistic goodness of the 3 bombers and their misunderstood lives. These poor bombers were misunderstood soccer players is all? How can a nation of Rockwell-ian Americans programmed to think looking through a knot whole in a fence, to get a glimpse of a baseball game, not be guilty.

Drug test a baseball player and hug an international soccer player as he boards a Double Decker bus NY TIMES. Don’t you dare apologize for me, or my Fathers Grand Children? I am sure the Times can relate to the decision to throw baseball out of the Olympic Games too.

Side note, a rush to use the word eclectic to describe people who see a bigger picture has charged upon the scene over the last 2 decades. Eclectic loving people to me are nothing more than people who have no idea what they stand for. I say stand for something or settle for what is shoved down your throat.
