Back in late October, the Trump administration greenlit an operation to kill the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, which resulted in a raid on his compound and the terrorist to blow himself up (alongside three of his children) to avoid being killed or arrested by U.S. forces. Following this raid, the Left went into a fit because we killed the leader of ISIS, proving even more that they are adamantly against the United States.
 
In early January of 2020, following an attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, which was orchestrated by Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, an Iranian general who once visited the Obama White House and has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Americans, the United States used an MQ-9 Reaper drone to fire missiles at a convoy of terrorists leaving Baghdad International Airport. This strike not only killed dozens of terrorists, but it has been confirmed now by State Department officials that one of the deaths was the aforementioned general Soleimani.
 
Retired Lt. Col. James Carafano said: “The reported deaths of Iranian General Qassem Suleimani and the Iraqi commander of the militia that killed an American last week was a bold and decisive military action made possible by excellent intelligence and the courage of America’s service members. His death is a huge loss for Iran’s regime and its Iraqi proxies, and a major operational and psychological victory for the United States.”
 
Phillip Smyth, an expert on Iran-controlled Shia militias and the Middle East at the Washington Institute said: “This is a major blow. I would argue that this is probably the most major decapitation strike the United States has ever carried out… This is a man who controlled a transnational foreign legion that was controlling governments in numerous different countries… He had a hell of a lot of power and a hell of a lot of control. You have to be a strong leader in order to get these people to work with you, know how and when to play them off one another, and also know which Iranians do I need within the IRGC-QF (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a designated terrorist organization), which Lebanese do I need which, Iraqis do I need… that’s not something you can just pick up at a local five and dime. It takes decades of experience.”
 
Other military experts agreed that the killing of Soleimani was more significant than bin Laden or al-Baghdadi.
 
The Pentagon said in a statement: “General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the nation. This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans. The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world.”
 
The Pentagon also said that Soleimani had orchestrated numerous attacks on U.S.-led coalition bases in Iraq over the last few months, including an attack on December 27th, which killed an American contractor and wounded U.S. servicemembers as well as Iraqi personnel.
 
Carafano also said: “The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps… led by Suleimani, was responsible for the deaths of more than 600 Americans in Iraq between 2003-2011, and countless more injured. He was a chief architect behind Iran’s continuing reign of terror in the region. This strike against one of the world’s most odious terrorists is no different than the mission which took out Osama bin Laden – it is, in fact, even more justifiable since he was in a foreign country directing terrorist attacks against Americans.”
 
Suffice to say that Soleimani was an evil piece of crap and no one but the bad guys would miss him. Enter the American Left, the fake news media and even a Hollywood elite being adamantly against this operation to kill a top enemy of the United States.
 
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) complained on Twitter: “Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That’s not a question. The question is this – as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?”
 
A couple of things to say about this. First, I don’t remember Democrats complaining when Obama didn’t notify them that we would be killing bin Laden. That’s because the Commander-in-Chief does not need to notify Congress that he is going to kill a terrorist. These idiots also complained that Trump didn’t notify them that he was killing Baghdadi. The reason being that he didn’t want the secret of the operation being spread, potentially saving Baghdadi and putting American servicemembers’ lives in danger. Granted, we used a drone instead of armed forces this time around, but we know just how partisan these people are. They would’ve blabbed about targeting Soleimani in an effort to save his life and keep Trump from scoring any political victory.
 
How do I know these people are partisan hacks? Aside from EVERYTHING they’ve done over the past few years, look at how these people are reacting to these news. Instead of being elated that an objectively EVIL guy is dead, they all let their Trump Derangement Syndrome take over and are DEFENDING Iran.
 
Just three days ago, and moving on to the second point I wanted to make, Sen. Chris Murphy also tweeted the following regarding the attack on our embassy: “The attack on our embassy in Baghdad is horrifying but predictable. Trump has rendered America impotent in the Middle East. No one fears us, no one listens to us. America has been reduced to huddling in safe rooms, hoping the bad guys will go away. What a disgrace.”
 
Three days ago, Murphy was complaining that we weren’t doing anything and claimed that America was “impotent” in the Middle East because of Trump (totally ignoring the fact that Benghazi was attacked under Obama’s watch and he did nothing to help there). Fast-forward three days and now he’s complaining about taking action against THE GUY WHO ORCHESTRATED THE ATTACK ON THE EMBASSY?!
 
Not that I find this the least bit surprising. They will attack Trump regardless of what he does. He doesn’t do something against terrorists who attacked our embassy? “Trump is weak”. He does something against terrorists who attacked our embassy? “Trump just started World War III”. It’s all a load of b.s. and no one in their right mind would take these people seriously for even a second.
 
But moving on to the other anti-American traitors, we find none other than the Washington Post, the official terrorist mourning organization, reporting: “Breaking news: Airstrike at Baghdad airport kills Iran’s most revered military leader, Qasem Soleimani, Iraqi state television reports.”
 
Don’t know if this quite beats “austere religious scholar” but it’s an embarrassment that it can come so close. Soleimani, as previously explained, was not Iran’s most “revered military leader”. He was a terrorist piece of garbage responsible for the deaths of hundreds of servicemembers and possibly thousands of Americans. And the only ones that “revered” the demon were people within the terrorist regime.
 
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo shared a video on Twitter of Iraqis “dancing on the street for freedom; thankful that General Soleimani is no more.” And why would they be happy at Soleimani’s death? Because he was also the guy responsible for the deaths and kidnappings of protesters that had been troubling the terrorist regime for years in the neighboring country (reportedly, he caused the deaths of upwards of 500 people and injured another 20,000 protesters). We killed the guy who helped oppress the people of IRAQ and the people of Iraq are thankful.
 
Of course, this doesn’t stop the Left from further trying to paint Trump as a “warmonger” who just ignited the third World War and are cowering at what Iran might do in retaliation (because they were clearly oh, so peaceful before we killed Soleimani).
 
Despite the very clear evidence that Soleimani was a terrorist and that this was an attack in response to him ORCHESTRATING an attack on OUR embassy, the Left says that this is an act of war. By no means. This is an act of self-defense as a result of that attack on our embassy. It is an act of retribution for the THOUSANDS of American, not to mention Iranian and Iraqi lives, that he helped to take. It is an act of strength to show the terrorist regime that Obama is not president anymore and they can’t get away with whatever they want anymore.
 
This will not lead to World War III. I doubt this will even lead to full-blown war against Iran. Richard Engel said that “Iranians will consider US killing Soleimani an act of war. A proxy war could erupt. Likely in Iraq, but also a danger in Lebanon and Israel. This is a big escalation.” To which I say: Soleimani was already orchestrating numerous proxy wars in the region anyway. I don’t care if they consider this an act of war or an act of crapping on their sandwich; they will say whatever they want to justify further actions (and the media will be delighted by such actions). At most, this would cause a proxy war, but nothing more severe than that. If Iran actually had the means to fight us in a war, there’d be nothing stopping them from doing so. Unlike ISIS or al-Qaeda terrorists, Iran can’t go into hiding.
 
Now, Leftists could say: “See? This will only make things worse. This will cause the Iranians to attack us.” They were already attacking us and they have been FOR DECADES. It’s not like Trump attacked the Iranians unprovoked. They have been pulling crap against us, plotting and funding terrorist acts against us for decades at this point, pretty much since the Mullahs took over in 1979. Killing Soleimani will help deter future terrorist acts simply due to how many he was responsible for and was in the process of planning.
 
But what is perhaps the worst part of the Left’s clear betrayal of this country was something that actress Rose McGowan tweeted:
 
“Dear Iran, the USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize. We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us.” She also tweeted a gif of what appears to be an Iranian flag, but edited to have a sun emoji and a lion emoji in the middle part, for some reason.
 
But regardless of that strange gif, it is pretty clear how spineless the Left is. Thankfully, McGowan does not represent the U.S. and the VAST MAJORITY of Americans are happy that a terrorist is dead. One Twitter user, who claims to be Iranian, replied to her: “I’m Iranian by birth. Iranians are happy. Do you realize that this guy was [a] psychopath? Part of a group that tortured, raped, sodomized its own citizens? Do you have any f***ing clue or do you just want attention? Soleimani makes Harvey Weinstein look like a saint. Let that sink!”
 
I would assume McGowan wants as much attention as Jane Fonda did by siding with the Vietcongs. Back then, it was Hanoi Jane. Today, we have Tehran McGowan, it seems. These idiot Leftists have zero clue what they are talking about and most likely have never even heard of Soleimani before recently, otherwise, they really wouldn’t be calling Trump’s administration the “terrorist regime” here.
 
The Left does not support the United States. They hate it when we succeed. They hate it when we win at any capacity. They think we should be groveling on the ground, begging for other countries’ “forgiveness” for our “past sins” and “transgressions”. If you need any more proof that the Left hates this country, look at what they are doing right this moment.

In the world of the Fake News Media, it can sometimes be difficult to discern just which one is the biggest joke out there. CNN is up there, when they threaten meme-makers with lawsuits and run Russia-collusion stories for two and a half straight years with zero evidence to show for it. But I think The New York Times has pulled ahead in recent times.
 
Of course, I am talking about the horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad week the people at the NYT had recently. First, the NYT Archives page remembered the death of Chinese Communist dictator Mao Zedong, who died on September 9th, 1976. They did this by tweeting: “Mao Zedong died on this day in 1976: The Times said he ‘began as an obscure peasant’ and ‘died one of history’s great revolutionary figures.’”
 
Two things they said about him, one of them wrong and the other one REALLY wrong for different reasons.
 
First, Zedong was never, himself, a peasant. He was born to a farmer who was once a peasant but became “affluent as a farmer and grain dealer,” according to the Encyclopedia Britannica’s page on Mao Zedong. To say he was a peasant is historically inaccurate.
 
But that’s, of course, not the worst part. The second part was remembering him as “one of history’s great revolutionary figures.” He was a “great revolutionary figure” in the same way Hitler and Lenin were. That is to say: not at all.
 
He led a communist revolution in China, became dictator of the land, and subsequently murdered 45 million people thanks to his “Great Leap Forward” policy. This is something even THE WASHINGTON POST acknowledges.
 
Yeah, kinda “forgot” to mention that part, didn’t they?
 
But as bad as that is, I believe it pales in comparison to what they did on the 18th anniversary of 9/11.
 
You may have heard a little something about it, as it was all over Twitter and conservative media (apart from the actual remembrance of the victims and events of 9/11).
 
The New York Times posted and promptly deleted the following tweet: “18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center. Today, families will once again gather and grieve at the site where more than 2000 people died.”
 
Of course, people pointed out the lunacy of that tweet. It wasn’t airplanes that “took aim” at the towers. It was radical Islamic terrorists. But then again, we really shouldn’t be so surprised at the sort of language and rhetoric these people use.
 
These are people who might actually believe guns can float around and shoot and kill people all on their own, erasing any of the blame on the actual shooter and focusing on the gun.
 
I have already pointed out how shootings tend to not be paid much attention to if the shooter is someone who hurts their narrative. They talked far more at length about the El Paso shooter because he targeted Hispanics than they did about the openly-socialist Dayton shooter. And back when a Berniebro shot at Republicans during a Congressional baseball game, injuring Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), they made the concerted effort not to mention the very intentions the shooter had: to kill as many Republicans because he bought Bernie’s rhetoric that Republicans would kill people by taking away their healthcare.
 
Similarly, since 9/11 is the biggest terrorist attack in American history, and since it was perpetrated by radical Islamic terrorists, any and all semblance of radical Islam must be taken out of the remembrance of the day, because political correctness deems it so.
 
Never mind that it was RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS who hijacked the planes that flew into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania field (though that last one was because the passengers were aware of what happened in New York and realized their plane also got hijacked and bravely fought the terrorists, but ultimately all died). Never mind that radical Muslims all over the world CELEBRATED the attacks in their hatred of America. No, we must avoid talking about radical Islamic terrorism when talking about THE BIGGEST TERRORIST ATTACK IN U.S. HISTORY.
 
It wasn’t terrorists who did it, you see; it was the planes. As though it was one massive accident and no ill-intent was present whatsoever. What an absolute joke of a news organization. The fact it’s the NEW YORK Times, of all organizations, makes it all the sadder. The attack was in THEIR CITY. Their residents and citizens WITNESSED IT HAPPENING LIVE. And they have the nerve to avoid placing the blame where it belongs?
 
And their updated tweet wasn’t much better either: “18 years after nearly 3,000 people were lost, families of those killed in the terror attacks will gather at the 9/11 memorial. There will be a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., then the names of the dead – one by one – will be recited.”
 
Nearly 3,000 people weren’t “lost”. Again, that erases culpability and makes it appear sort of like an accident or at least like it wasn’t intentional. They were TAKEN by these radical Islamic monsters.
 
The New York Times is incredibly adamant about revising history to suit their agenda. Only a couple of months ago, they launched the 1619 project, if you remember that one. As a reminder, that project aimed (or aims, if they are still pushing it) at revising the history of our country’s very own founding to push the narrative that we were founded on slavery. To say that we weren’t founded on the basis of liberty for all, but that we were actually founded on the basis of slavery due to the very first slave ship arriving in the New World – that is the goal.
 
In the title, I put the word “forgot” in quotation marks because this wasn’t by accident in the least bit. At this point, it’s a pattern of revisionist history:
 

• Airplanes flew into the WTC, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania; but no mention of the actual hijackings or who perpetrated the attacks.
• Mao Zedong was a poor, relatable character who was a “great revolutionary figure” for the people of China; no mention of the tens of millions he and his communist policies subsequently killed.
• America was founded the moment the first slave ship arrived in the New World; no mention of the fact that there was no United States at the time, and quickly and nonchalantly glossing over the fact that the slaves were brought by the Portugese and sold to Brits in Virginia – no Americans to be seen here.

 
And it all fits perfectly into their agenda: protecting radical Islamic terrorists even when they kill people (and even when they kill another Leftist “protected” group: gay people), protecting the image of one of history’s most brutal dictators and mass murderers, and insisting that our country’s greatness is illegitimate and bought by the blood of slaves and poor people.
 
All b.s. of the highest order, but that’s how delusional these people are.
 
The New York Times is a massive joke of an organization, and that’s saying something in comparison to all the other fake news organizations. Fredo Cuomo has more dignity than these people.

Over the past couple of years, we have heard plenty of the supposedly anti-fascist group called Antifa using violence and intimidation to advance a political agenda. And despite that literally being the definition of terrorism, we have seen the mainstream media defend this domestic terrorist group time and time again, saying they are “angels” and lying about their repeated use of cement-laden milkshakes that they throw at people and cause harm to them.
 
However, as time has gone on, and particularly as one Antifa member tried to destroy and cause harm to ICE agents and vehicles a few weeks ago, Sens. Ted Cruz and Bill Cassidy have proposed a resolution that would label the group as an official domestic terrorist organization. Definitely the right thing to do, as I have explained in the past, but Campus Reform wanted to get the input of some college students, specifically those attending George Mason University, regarding the actual labeling of the radical Leftist group as being a domestic terrorist organization.
 
When Cabot Phillips and his associate, Gabriel Nadales, whom used to be an Antifa member himself, explained the definition of terrorism to the students, all of them said they thought Antifa is a terrorist organization.
 
One student, when asked if Antifa was a terrorist organization under the aforementioned definition, said: “I think if they’re starting violence and things… at Trump’s rallies then I think so because people get hurt… people get killed. Those rallies can get very dangerous, so if people are going there with the purpose to incite violence, I think that’s definitely a terrorist organization.”
 
This is a sentiment that all the students shared: if the purpose of Antifa’s presence in any particular place is to intimidate or incite violence, or actually commit violent acts, then they definitely fall under the category of terrorist organization.
 
Obviously, this isn’t to say that all of these students are conservatives or Trump supporters by any means. One of them specifically mentioned how she doesn’t support Trump but that violence wasn’t the answer here, and another mentioned how Antifa reflects poorly on Leftists like himself. However, what this shows me is their ability to reason and understand when a group is doing the wrong thing, even if they politically agree with said group.
 
If the situations were reversed and there was a right-wing group that would intimidate people and incite violence or commit violent acts, there’s no doubt in my mind that virtually every common-sense conservative would disavow such a group. So I would certainly hope that young liberals such as some of the ones featured in the Campus Reform video (it’s unclear the political leanings of some others, but one made an interesting observation that I will cover later) would have the rational capacity to understand how Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization under the definition of terrorism.
 
We can disagree all day long about whether or not they are actually the ones who are fascist (they are, but the Left has brainwashed almost everyone into believing fascism is a right-wing ideology, when anything that relates to big government stems strictly from the Left), but there should really be no disagreement about Antifa being terrorists. The only ones who would disagree are the Antifa members themselves who will explode and try and intimidate or commit a violent act on someone who disagrees with them at any capacity and perhaps the MSM and the elected Left, who see Antifa as their military arm like the KKK once was.
 
But as far as these college students go, they demonstrate more common sense than I tend to see in the media and in Washington D.C., for the most part.
 
Now, one of them initially disagreed with the notion that they are a domestic terrorist organization, but upon having explained to him what the definition of terrorism was, he couldn’t help but to ultimately agree that if that is what Antifa is doing (which it is, very much so), then they are definitely a terrorist organization.
 
This is important to note because for just about every other student, Phillips or Nadales started their dialogue by defining what terrorism was, but not with this particular student. So if this student, having originally been ignorant about the definition of terrorism, didn’t think Antifa ought to be considered a domestic terrorist organization, then I just have to wonder what these other students, or even other people in general, would say about it being equally ignorant about the definition. Without the definition of terrorism, would people say that Antifa ought to be considered a terrorist organization?
 
But this only further expresses the need to educate the masses. When people don’t have correct information in front of them, they will take what deceitful people say as the truth and as fact. Man-made climate change is a huge example of this, despite all the evidence showing us that climate change has been a thing ever since the planet was created and there is nothing we are doing that affects it positively or negatively, people are convinced we are killing our planet. Granted, part of this is an emotional attachment to the idea of “saving the planet” and a fearful response to the idea that we might be responsible for the death of our planet and our children will have to live with the consequences, but when an objective and logical person gets the facts on this, they will tend to understand how much of a farce man-made climate change is.
 
But getting back to the students, I was pleasantly surprised to see them agree that, given the definition of terrorism, Antifa ought to be considered a domestic terrorist organization. Of course, there will be those who, despite knowing the definition, will contend that they shouldn’t be considered as such because that would essentially be putting them on a similar level to ISIS and al-Qaeda, but all I have to say to that is: “Do we really want to wait until they commit massive terrorist attacks with bombs and guns – wait until they start killing people – to call them terrorists? One of them literally tried to assault an ICE facility with a gun and Molotov cocktails, so it’s not like things are being de-escalated here.”
 
Most logical people will understand what ought to be considered a terrorist organization, and considering what Antifa has been doing fits the definition to a tee, I perhaps shouldn’t be so surprised to see these college students agreeing as to what their label ought to be.
 
But in any case, I promised I would get to a particular observation, and that’s what I will do now.
 
Towards the end of the video, the first student that had been featured went on to make the following remark: “Fascism. I mean, it’s not like we had a revolution. President Obama was President, we had an election, and now we have a new President. The government didn’t change. The whole concept of fascism, that’s ridiculous… it’s like comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s impolite, rude. It’s not the right words.”
 
This is rather interesting to me because it poses a direct challenge to what Antifa *claims* to stand for. Antifa insist that Trump is basically Hitler, that he is a fascist and every single person who disagrees with them in any way is also a fascist. But the student is right, it is ridiculous. Trump was elected President of the United States fair and square. Despite the two and a half years of investigations and allegations about Trump-Russia collusion, absolutely nothing turned up to even insinuate that that’s what happened. The American people elected Donald Trump. As he said, this wasn’t a revolution, at least in terms of an armed coup against the Obama administration. It was the exchanging of power from one Party to another, as it has happened TIME AND TIME AGAIN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY!
 
The way Antifa acts, it’s as though Trump came into power illegitimately and is preparing to exterminate millions of minorities, when nothing could be further from the truth. Antifa cries out that Trump is authoritarian and dictatorial, yet support candidates who are far-Left, to the point where they either are openly socialistic or communistic. No government on Earth has ever been more authoritarian than a government ruled by communism, because communism means that the government owns the means of production. In other words, the government owns just about everything and there is no private ownership of anything.
 
Antifa’s hypocrisy is, of course, their most tolerable aspect, considering how violent and extremist they are. There are plenty of hypocrites. The Left and much of the Republican Party are filled with them. Hypocrites, I can tolerate. Dislike heavily, but tolerate. People who would openly commit acts of terror against other people, for whatever cause, is something none of us should tolerate. And we shouldn’t wait until they start killing people to designate them as a domestic terrorist group, particularly considering they perfectly fit the definition of the word “terrorism”.
 
Major props go to Sens. Ted Cruz and Bill Cassidy for standing up to such hateful terrorists. Here’s hoping their resolution succeeds.

Over the weekend, the ever-so tolerant city of Portland, Oregon was marred by riots from angsty Antifa terrorists pretending to fight the “far-right” while employing similar tactics used by Nazi Brown Shirts in 1930s Germany.
 
In the riots, a number of people were assaulted by members of the hateful group, including journalist Andy Ngo (who is gay, but that doesn’t matter to the Left if he is a conservative) and other men who all had to go to the ER.
 
Ngo had to be treated for a brain hemorrhage and the other men (who were taking part of a Him Too demonstration, a demonstration to support men who are victims of sexual assault and falsely accused of sexual assault) were also left bleeding.
 
According to Portland Police, Ngo was beaten and milkshake laced with quick-dry cement was thrown at him. The other men were beaten with a crowbar, nun-chucks and other things apart from being outright punched.
 
Meanwhile, not one Democrat candidate has come out to condemn the violence of Antifa (likely because they approve of it) and hardly any MSM source has condemned it, with CNN hardly covering it at all.
 
This is far from the first time Antifa has gotten violent against anyone they perceived to be “Alt-Right” aka anyone they even somewhat disagree with. According to Breitbart News, Antifa has beaten 15 other journalists apart from Ngo in the past. This, of course, doesn’t include the people they generally disagreed with who are not journalists whom they chose to assault (just a few months ago, they beat up an elderly man after dragging him out of his vehicle).
 
And throughout all of it, despite their outright terroristic actions, the media stays quiet at best and outright PRAISES them at worst, with comments like “what they are doing is right” or “they are angels” or “they are just like the soldiers at Normandy” often being said by members of the fake news media.
 
These people are NOT doing what is right, are DEMONS and definitely are like the soldiers at Normandy – the Nazi soldiers, that is.
 
These people are downright terrorists. Now, I know what some disturbed individual might say: “how can you say they are terrorists? They haven’t killed anyone yet!” They were beating people up with weapons, hitting them upside the head and causing severe damage. If they haven’t killed anyone yet, it hasn’t come from lack of trying.
 
Besides, is that really the threshold necessary to designate a group as terrorists? We have to wait until someone loses their life over this before we can say these people are terrorists?
 
Think about what they are doing: gathering in massive groups, destroying property and generally terrorizing the populace, making threats and often coming through on those threats of violence. They may not be terrorists like ISIS, but they are terrorists like the KKK, who terrorized black people after slavery was abolished.
 
It’s also rather ironic to me that Antifa is also predominantly white, like the KKK before them. Antifa is the Left’s new military arm.
 
If there ever is to be another civil war in America, it’ll be because of these masked cowards pretending to fight what they actually are. Their actions, as I have said multiple times, are the same ones taken by actual fascists in the 20th century. These people are as much anti-fascist as Obama was a Republican. That is to say – not at all.
 
Being anti-fascist means being against big government. These people LOVE big government, particularly when it has the power to shut down those who oppose it. The only reason they say they are against fascism is because the education system has, for half a century, indoctrinated people into believing fascism was big government on the Right. Big government is very strictly a Left-wing pursuit. There is no real difference between fascism, socialism and communism. I would use the analogy of them being different sides of the same coin, but coins are only two-sided, so that doesn’t quite work as well, but the point remains: they are all basically the same.
 
One thing that has always puzzled me is how people can claim communism or socialism is in any way different or better than Nazism was. Nazis WERE SOCIALISTS! Not that you would know this from learning in school.
 
But something people would try and say to argue my point about communism, socialism and fascism being the same is that the Soviets fought the Nazis in World War II, so they obviously have to be different. Not true.
 
That conflict wasn’t a conflict of ideology but of interest. The Soviets were largely fine with the Nazis, even helping them get rid of Jews in Soviet territory, and only turned on each other once Hitler made the moronic decision of invading Russia. The two sides believed in the same, government-dominant ideologies but wanted their own countries to dominate the world. That is where the conflict lied.
 
So those who are supportive of big government, particularly to such extents, find themselves with more in common with Stalin and Hitler than they do with anyone else. This very much includes those who are delusional enough to consider their fascist actions to be in any way its antithesis.
 
And considering the way things are going right now, it’s only bound to get worse unless something gets done about this. Do we really have to wait until these people actually kill someone before designating them what we KNOW they are? Or are we just going to wait until an actual civil war begins? Are we going to wait until they’ve pushed people around long enough to actually being some sort of war?
 
These people may have the right to believe what they believe, but they most certainly do NOT have the right to partake in the actions that they are. And it sickens me that the mainstream media will hardly cover it, barely condemn it and sometimes even CHEER them on as they destroy people’s lives. It sickens me, though not necessarily surprises me, that not a single Democrat candidate looked at what happened in Portland (and it often happens in that God-forsaken city that I am definitely glad I left years ago) and not think of what happened as an absolutely reprehensible act.
 
Again, I do not see things getting better with these people. There may be a few people here and there who look at what they are doing, reflect on it, and decide to leave. That’s certainly possible, but this problem will not go away on its own. They are adamant about destroying an enemy that does not really exist. With their enemy so poorly defined as “Alt-Right”, literally anyone can be their enemy. Anyone who disagrees with them becomes their enemy and find that a justifiable enough reason to attack them. This includes even Democrats who disagree with them. And they won’t stop until their enemy is eliminated or they are.
 
This is, among many other reasons, why Antifa must be designated a domestic terrorist group and treated as such. They are not “fine Americans” and “angels” who are “fighting for good”. They are what Hitler and Stalin would’ve loved to see in the United States: fascist revolutionaries who will only escalate things as time goes on.

On June 6th, 2017, a man in Paris attacked an on-duty police officer with a hammer outside of the Notre Dame Cathedral. French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb (from the Socialist Party) told reporters that said officer’s condition is not very serious. I’m glad that this attack didn’t develop into something larger, but here’s the intriguing part of the story: the attacker yelled “This is for Syria” before bashing the police officer over the head with a hammer.
 
Now, while this is rather different from the usual “Allahu Akhbar” (translation: Allah is the greatest), we must still consider this an act of terror. Why? Because the attacker was also carrying two kitchen knives and “other unsophisticated weapons”, according to Collomb. It’s clear that this man was planning to do more than what he achieved. Unlike other attacks that result in the terrorists either killing themselves or getting killed by police forces, this attacker, while still having been shot, was not killed but rather was hospitalized.
 
But now onto the larger topic at hand: is this the beginning of the end for Europe? Over the past two weeks, there have been two terror attacks in England and one in France. And there have been 20 terrorist attacks in Europe (not counting this one) in 2017 alone, according to TheReligionOfPeace.com, a website that exposes the threat Islam is to the civilized world. Out of those 20 attacks, 15 of them have been in Western Europe. 6 of them in France. These range from large terror attacks such as the one in Manchester that killed 22 people and injured over 100 others, to one Jewish woman killed by a Muslim who threw her off a balcony simply for being Jewish. The Muslim killer praised Allah while doing it.
 
And in 2016, there were 50 terrorist attacks IN EUROPE ALONE. By comparison, there have only been 4 attacks on American soil in 2017 so far! So don’t go about telling me and others that Trump is making Muslims angry and will kill many Americans. It’s been mostly in Europe, where socialism runs rampant, that these attacks have been happening. In countries that welcome terrorists with open arms while telling people that said terrorists are nice, soft and cuddly teddy bears.
 
The large influx of ‘refugees’ into Europe will ultimately mark the end of civilized society in the continent. Don’t misunderstand, the continent will still be there. No one’s gonna blow it off the face of the earth. But Europe is well on its way to becoming Islamized. Civilized society in Europe will be destroyed and replaced with the barbaric (and let’s face it, satanic) Sharia Law.
 
Unless the people of these countries wake up to the threat of the end of their civilization, they will ultimately succumb to Islam. The people of France have already voted for a man that won’t keep them safe for the next 5 to 10 years (France has five-year presidential terms and a president can be reelected only once). Emmanuel Macron believes in an “open-door” policy when it comes to inviting Death himself into France. So does Angela Merkel in Germany. Only Theresa May is relatively against taking in many refugees into the U.K.
 
France and Germany, along with other nations that elect socialist leaders, will ultimately fall to Islam. Whether it be through warfare and bloodshed or through implementing laws that satisfy Muslims and Muslims only, eventually leading to Sharia Law (perhaps under a different name). Thankfully, Donald Trump knows of the dangers of allowing these ‘refugees’ into the country. He knows that European countries are largely risking their citizens’ lives by bringing in these savages. And he knows that the U.S. shouldn’t let these people in.
 
These refugees are wolves in sheep’s clothing. The media will portray them as vulnerable and harmless, but the minute they get the chance, they will begin slaughtering “infidels” in the name of their horrendous god: Allah, and their evil, pedophiliac ‘prophet’: Mohammed. They are the very embodiment of evil. And, as I’ve said multiple times before, evil always loses in the end.
 
That’s not just an absolute truth in movies, cartoons and t.v. shows (depending on which shows you’re talking about). But it’s an absolute truth in the Bible. An absolute truth in the story of mankind. Evil will always lose to the righteousness of God!

Coalition Forces attacked ISIS 31 times on Saturday, January 21st, 2017. Note the date, since that was the Secretary of Defense’s, Gen. James Mattis, first day in office. The attacks were on ISIS tactical units, headquarters, tunnels, fighting positions, vehicles, and oil well heads, according to freebeacon.com. And that attack was just Syria. We also attacked ISIS in Iraq, targeting tactical units, vehicles, weapons, a building and other weapons related objects.
 
This attack is significant. It’s not the plain fact that we attacked ISIS in a rather large strike in one day. It’s the fact that we did that the day after Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States. That was his and the Secretary of Defense’s first day in office. They clearly mean to show that they mean to get things done from day 1, and that, they did. The larger war on Terror will continue. But ISIS no longer has a friend that plays the professional wrestling-style opposition in the White House. Now, they have people that are majorly pissed off at them and intend to eliminate them from the face of the Earth. The President’s words, not mine.
 
Not to mention that Trump is looking to enact a temporary ban on people entering the U.S. from terrorist-related nations such as just about any country in the Middle East. Which means that this invasion is set to be stopped, at least in ISIS’s second biggest target.
 
Trump is serious about fulfilling his campaign promises. He wants to make America safe again and will stop at nothing to get that done. We could be looking at, and likely are looking at, THE ASSURED END OF ISIS. They now find a serious threat in control of the most powerful nation on Earth. Trump had ordered the Pentagon to come up with a strategy to defeat ISIS within 30 of his inauguration via an executive order. And whatever strategy the Pentagon will come up with, Trump will choose the most effective and likely fastest way to eliminate them. He’s not joking about this. Like he isn’t joking about the wall. The Left has been doubtful about Trump accomplishing anything since he first announced his candidacy for president.
 
The Left thought he was a joke back then. Don’t get me wrong, they still think he’s a joke. But now, he has the power to actually get things done, and that thought terrifies the Left. As it should ISIS.
 
One time when looking through Facebook a year or so ago, I saw a funny post. It was a picture of Ronald Reagan and the caption read: ‘If I was president, ISIS would be WASWAS.’ As if to say that ISIS would no longer be around if Reagan were still president. And I both laughed and agreed with the post. But that post can now become a fairly accurate reality. It won’t be Reagan that makes ISIS into WASWAS. It will be Trump that does that. I laughed at the post because it highlighted Obama’s incompetence (or unwillingness) in fighting ISIS and his allowing ISIS to grow as much as it has. I agree with the post when it says that Reagan would’ve eliminated ISIS already. But now, we have a president much like Reagan. We have a president that will make absolutely sure that ISIS WILL BE WASWAS in due time.
 
He’s even fighting the lower judges on this issue. You see, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Court is trying to fight back against the aforementioned executive order to temporarily ban people entering the U.S. from 7 terror-related countries by saying that ‘it’s a ban on Muslims’ or a ‘ban on religious freedom’. Neither of which is true. Yes, this ban affects Muslims coming into the country from those nations, but if it were a ban on Muslims, then ALL Muslim nations, not just Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan would be a part of the proposed ban.
 
But the Left wants to make this about race. Trump’s racist because he wants to keep refugees out. He wants to doom these people because they’re Muslim. Yadda yadda yadda. In reality, as we all know, Trump is trying to keep ISIS from easily entering the U.S. He doesn’t know who or how many of these refugees are members of ISIS, but he’s not gonna wait for an attack to occur, one that will lead to potential massive casualties, to say ‘Oh, that one. That one was in ISIS. Dang, oh well.’ No, he will make sure to make it as impossible as can be for ISIS to effectively carry out attacks on American people.
 
But in the end, we all know it will go through because the Left doesn’t have the power to stop such an executive order. They can only delay it. Which will lead to them potentially losing more seats (if that’s even possible) in Congress come 2018.
 
The American people have spoken. They want ISIS gone. They want Muslims extremely vetted. They want immigrants to come in legally and assimilate to the American lifestyle. And they are sick and tired of the Left keeping Washington from actually working, because for the first time in God knows how long, Washington can actually get to work to benefit the American people and not just the elite class. And eradicating ISIS and vetting Muslims coming in from terror-related nations is one of the crucial steps to doing that.

The riots perpetrated by UC Berkeley students, where they destroyed property and beat other students who oppose their views unconscious, is an indication of how MEDIOCRE American education has become.

And I don’t mean just academically. In my many years working for a Silicon Valley company I came to know many young Ivy League school graduates who, in spite of the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on their education, many didn’t even have common sense to understand that the little financial models they put together somehow need to incorporate elements of reality. These kids only understand spreadsheets – not the real world.

I remember one time the company paid for a Stanford ‘Decision Quality’ training class for some of us. The company thought that we weren’t making proper decisions and we needed training, so they hired this Stanford ‘Professor’ and his team. The class cost thousands and thousands of dollars per employee, which the company gladly paid. During the class, we were supposed to run all these complex financial models with tornado charts and all sorts of ‘cool stuff’. Except that the case study we were working on ended up making a recommendation for the fake company owners to go down a certain strategic path that had ‘only a 5% chance of bringing the company to bankruptcy’.

I had been a creditor for a long time before this class and based on my experience I objected the recommendation: ‘you never want to do ANYTHING that jeopardizes the viability of the company. There is such thing as growing a company into bankruptcy and as a creditor, if this company in this case study was real, and if they presented this plan to me, I’d cut their credit over poor leadership immediately and tell my business partners in Sales to go find another customer as this one, 5 years from now, will be toast. In fact my credit decision alone would immediately increase that 5% chance to over 20 or 50% chance or more, especially if other creditors follow. Creditors don't like to risk their money on companies which consider business strategies that might lead to bankruptcy. My recommendation for the fake company in this case study is the option of slower, but safer growth.’

Obviously, the ‘geniuses’ at Stanford took my input politely but said that the option of 5% chance of bankruptcy was the official solution to the case. They didn’t even try to defend it. They don’t have the INTELLIGENCE or the COMMON SENSE to revise their own work. They’re stubborn – and dangerous if you hire them as consultants.

You see, these academics are just that – academics. After they teach the imaginary world of modeling to their naive students, they go back to their own fake world of computer models. They never have to bear the responsibility of making real life decisions that not only will affect owners, like in the case study, but the hundreds or thousands of employees and their families of a real company. They produce professionals who live in an imaginary world.

And they produce professionals like the UC Berkeley students whose imaginary world ONLY includes people who think like they think. They’re absolutely immature, but they’re also FUNDAMENTALISTS.

​These ignorant students not only are mediocre in their field by virtue of living in a world of spreadsheets. They’re also ignorant of the fact they’re COMMUNISTS and FUNDAMENTALISTS , who in a communist or Islamist country would be also subject to persecution. Furthermore, they’re protesting a Travel Ban that’s trying to prevent bringing Islamist terrorists into this country who want to KILL THEM TOO!

This is war alright. But not the kind of war the students are talking about.

They may want to stop Trump, kill Trump or kill Trump supporters – all things that really make them no different from Jihadists. Jihadists want to kill me because I’m an infidel. UC Berkeley students want to kill me because I’m a Trump supporter.

What do you do with these ignorant students?

I say let them be – let them show how violent and STUPID they truly are. Let’s show the world UC Berkeley students aren’t worth the money they’re offered after they graduate. Let’s NOT give them the opportunity to use shareholder money to pay for simplistic and useless financial models and violent behavior.

I’ll make a pledge today: I will NEVER hire a UC Berkeley graduate, unless they prove they’re non-violent…and smart. I cannot have my team exposed to someone who is potentially dangerous. I don’t want somebody on my team beat up over some business disagreement with a Jihadist Berkeley graduate. Much like Trump, who wants to protect us from Islamist Jihadists, I have to protect my team from potential danger.

Let me use what I learnt (or rather TAUGHT) in Stanford: 
​

The Stanford ‘Professor’ would take the chance. I won’t.

Proverbs 3:31
Do not envy a man of violence. And do not choose any of his ways.

​Islam is the second largest and fastest growing religion in the world. While it’s clear that ISIS is the most brutal of its factions, the reality is that peaceful people around the globe are facing potential life-or-death situations based on how their governments respond to this global Muslim expansion.

The main focus at this point for peaceful governments is ISIS. And it’s not surprising, given the brutality of the terrorist organization. But let’s say that ISIS is defeated, the question becomes, is this fight ever going to end?

To answer that question, we need to understand Islam.

What is Islam’s ultimate goal?

The establishment of a worldwide Caliphate.

Before we go into the details, let me get something very important out of the way: many uninformed people think that Christianity and Islam are similar. Christians are waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ so that He establishes His millennial Kingdom. Muslims are waiting for their messiah, Madhi, and his rule over a global caliphate based on sharia law.

What is the difference between the Christianity and Islam?

It’s massive. Let me explain...

You see, Muslims don’t worship Jesus as we all know, but most importantly (and please pay attention to this), Muslims do NOT look to Jesus as their SAVIOR. This is a critical difference – we are waiting for OUR SAVIOR. The key word is SAVIOR.

So, what are Muslims waiting for?

They are waiting for Madhi, the twelfth ruler since Muhammad, to establish a Worldwide CALIPHATE to DOMINATE all mankind under SHARIA LAW. They’re NOT waiting for a savior – Muslims are waiting for a DICTATOR.

ALL Muslims are waiting for this dictator. ALL OF THEM. Whether or not they’re terrorists is not the point – the point is what is ISLAM’S ULTIMATE GOAL? If you paid attention, now you know that their goal is the establishment of a KINGDOM OF TERROR!

The difference between Islamic terrorists and the rest of the Muslim world is the method they use to accomplish this goal. Terrorists think that the continued escalation of war and violence will lead to the final apocalypse and the appearing of their messiah. ‘Moderate’ Muslims think gradualism is a better approach. But make no mistake, terrorists or not, all Muslims want a worldwide caliphate. They agree on their common goal…

Just to give you a flavor of what gradualist Muslims think, let me share with you what the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, said in 2007:

‘The conquest of Rome, the conquest of Italy and Europe means that Islam will return to Europe once again. Must this conquest necessarily be through war? No, it is not necessary. There is such a thing as a peaceful conquest. The peaceful conquest has foundations in this religion. So I imagine that Islam will conquer Europe without using violence. It will do so through predication and ideology’.

Later on, in a 2012 interview he said something terrifying…’there will be no chopping off hands for the first five years’.

​No chopping off hands for five years. Isn’t that a relief?

​Now let me ask you this, do you still think Islam is a religion of peace like President Obama said?

Of course not.

And don’t let anyone tell you that Christians and Muslims are the same. We’re not the same. Our Kingdom is Heaven. Theirs is HELL.

Now let me ask you: do you think moderate Muslims are really moderate? They may claim to be, but are they?

Matthew 7:13-15: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

Author: Daniela R.

When Leftists mock Christians, they usually try to appeal to ‘reason’, pointing out that Christians must be really stupid and uneducated for believing in a ‘guy’ whom they have never seen.

As a former atheist, I’m going to tell you upfront that my conversion to Christianity had absolutely nothing to do with emotions and everything to do with REASON. My conversion started with Economics, followed by Politics and ended in Faith. I REASONED all my way to Jesus Christ.

You see, God makes sense. The existence of God makes sense and you cannot explain Creation without the Creator.

Just to give you a short version of my conversion let me tell you that I was born and raised a SOCIALIST – big government of any kind. Little by little I started listening to ‘the other side’ from an economic point of view.

Why?

Because as a Finance professional, I’ve learnt to appreciate numbers – either a company is making money or it isn’t; either a certain strategy is working or it isn’t…either a POLICY is working or it isn’t. Socialist policies, I determined, weren’t working.

So I became a fiscal Conservative – small government is really the only way.

Then, I realized that big government also has tremendous negative political implications on our freedom – big government tends to be abusive as our founding fathers came to realize, with the inevitable loss of your freedoms. 

Think of it this way, Obamacare forces people to buy health insurance even if they don’t want to. Whether or not you need health insurance isn’t the point – the point is you really don’t have a choice. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. So I became a full Conservative.

Freedom took me to Christianity, as it really is its basis – free will. You’re never forced to become a Christian – it’s your choice.

Free markets and political freedom is in absolute synchrony with Christianity.

​In fact...

These folks suffered the most horrendous persecution and their deaths were unbelievably CRUEL. They died by hanging, they were crucified, they were sawn in pieces and Peter was crucified upside down! Do you think anyone would face such horrible deaths for a LIE?

They didn’t die for a lie – the SAW what they saw and they were willing to die for it.

They WITNESSED everything they preached about.

You see, there are THREE things that the Apostles WITNESSED that should convince you just as they convinced me:

1. The Apostles witnessed Jesus Christ’s RIGHTEOUS LIFE: My friend, the apostles lived with Jesus for 3 ½ years and they witnessed Jesus’ virtue and miracles, as He healed the sick. Peter said ‘don’t tell me Jesus didn’t turn water into wine – I DRANK some of it! Don’t tell me He didn’t raise that little girl from the dead – I SPOKE with her! Don’t tell me He didn’t walk on water – I was there! Don’t tell me it didn’t happen – I SAW all of it!’ They were there! They SAW it. They were WITNESSES of Jesus’ virtuous character and miracles. Nobody told them.
2. The Apostles witnessed Jesus Christ’s VICARIOUS DEATH: The apostles were right there when Jesus was tortured and nailed to that cross. They said ‘we heard him when He cried in anguish “my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”. We were there when He said “I thirst”. We saw Him DIE! We were there when they took Him down. We were there when they put Him in the tomb. He didn’t die for His sins, He died for our sins!’ The apostles SAW Jesus’ DEAD BODY. They were WITNESSES of his death. Nobody told them. 
3. The Apostles witnessed Jesus Christ’s TRIUMPHANT RESURRECTION: The apostles were right there with Jesus after He resurrected. They said ‘Don’t tell me He didn’t raise from the dead – I saw Him! We ate and drank with Him! We touched Him! More than 500 people saw Him at one time – we weren’t hallucinating. He was there!’ The apostles spent 40 days with Jesus after God raised Him from the dead. They SAW him. They were WITNESSES of His resurrection. Nobody told them. 

My friend, if, like the apostles, you’re living in a territory occupied by Romans, who will chase you down and crucify you for what you PREACH, wouldn’t you rather save your life and stop preaching if you knew what you’re saying is a LIE? Why would you want to be crucified for a lie? What lie would you be willing to die for?

They SAW, they SAW, they SAW…all of these things…

Think of it this way: Muslim Jihadists kill and die because Muhammad has TOLD them so in the Koran. The apostles died for telling other people what they SAW. 

Muhammad didn’t die for your sins – Jesus did. Buddha didn’t die for your sins – Jesus did. Obama wouldn't die for your sins - Jesus did.

​And we have 11 witnesses who DIED telling the truth. The Left doesn’t want you to know any of this because they want to replace GOD with GOVERNMENT just to control you.

Jesus was and is the SAVING Son of God. The Apostles were only human. You wouldn’t knowingly die for a lie. Neither did they. They died for the TRUTH.

With the November 8th U.S. Presidential election results, there’s renewed hope that the incoming administration of Donald Trump will take down ISIS once and for all. Our hope is that President Trump will launch an effective attack that will annihilate ISIS for good.

However, things are not that simple – even when ISIS is defeated.

You see, the problem isn’t just ISIS. ISIS is, if anything, a symptom of something much bigger – and much worse.

In his now well-known 2014 Rosh Hashanah sermon, Atlanta Rabbi Shalom Lewis said:

‘There are one billion Muslims in the world and authorities agree that 5% are committed Islamists who embrace terror and wish to see, by any means possible, the Muslim flag over every capital, on every continent. I was relieved when I heard only 5%. Thank God it’s only 5%. Now I could sleep soundly. But wait…5% of a billion is 50 million Koran-waving, Allah Akbar-howling Muslim murderers out there planning to slit our throats, blow us up or forcibly convert us.’

Fifty million radical Muslims ready to kill you is a big problem, but the problem doesn't end there. The remaining Muslims also want a Muslim world - gradually dominating every corner of the earth. The problem is, as you can see, much bigger than just ISIS. And it can only be solved with one possible solution. 

But before we go into solutions space, let’s remember why these radical Muslims hate us so much.

Their hate isn’t something new – and quite frankly, its origins have nothing to do with America, as the Left would have you believe.

Their hate started with Abraham and his two sons – Ishmael and Isaac in Genesis 16,21. According to the Bible God had promised Abraham to make him the father of great nations (Genesis 12:1-3). Abraham had no children at the time and since it was taking too long for him and his wife Sarah to conceive, Abraham, influenced by his wife, decided to take the problem into his own hands – something that is usually not advisable to do. Abraham and Sarah decided that their servant, Hagar, would bear Abraham’s son – Ishmael.

But Ishmael wasn’t the son God had promised. So what happened? This is very important, so please pay attention: An angel told Hagar that Ishmael ‘shall be a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him’ (Genesis 16:12). Keep this in mind.

When Ishmael was 14, Sarah finally gave birth to the son God had promised – Isaac.

Things didn’t go all that well in the family and one day Ishmael was making fun of Isaac - Isaac was still a boy but Ishmael was a teenager. In a rage, Sarah kicked their servant and her son Ishmael out of the house. Ishmael, being the wild man he was growing up to be, never forgave Sarah or Isaac for this.

As time went by Ishmael and Isaac had children of their own. Almost all Arabs, including the founder of Islam Muhammad, look to Ishmael as their father and all Jewish people look to Jacob (or Israel, Isaac’s son) as their father.

You see, it all started almost 4000 years ago with the conflict between Isaac and Ishmael. From a racial perspective, this conflict is ongoing today.

But race isn’t the only problem – a new religious conflict started with the establishment of Islam in the AD 600s.

ISIS is against everybody whose religion differs from Islam and their hatred can be traced back to the founding of Islam.

How do we expect to finish ISIS off if this racial and religious conflict has been going on for thousands and thousands of years? You take out 50 million of Muslim terrorists, then what?

Defeating ISIS isn’t enough – we have to do something else.

ISIS’s mission is to take Muslims back to the Koran to restore the ‘purity’ of their religion as taught by Muhammad. These extremists have gone back in time to the seventh century. These are fanatics…fifty million of them. Most modern Muslims de-emphasize the teachings mandating jihad against infidels, the subjugation of women and the hatred of Jews and Christians - though they too want an Islamic world. But radical Muslims are ready to kill for Allah, as we all know.

Islam is far from being a religion of peace. Former Muslim Nabeel Qureshi, now a Christian scholar, has said this about Islam’s history of warfare:

‘Within two centuries of the advent of Islam, Muslim conquests expanded Islamic territory from the shores of the Atlantic well into the valleys of India. At the end of that era, the most influential hadith collectors gathered whole books documenting Muhammad’s conduct and commands during times of warfare. Shortly after them, the great Islamic jurists systematically codified “sharia”, Islamic law, devoting whole branches of jurisprudence to the proper practice of warfare.
For these reasons, no one can claim that “Islam is a religion of peace” in the sense that the religion has been historically devoid of violence, neither in its origins nor in the history of the global Muslim community. Apart from the first thirteen years of Islamic history, when there were not enough Muslims to fight, Islam has always had an elaborate practice or doctrine of war’.

Defeating ISIS isn’t enough. Violence and warfare is in Islam’s DNA. So what can we do?

First, we must remember who is in control – God. Ultimately we know God wins the battle between good and evil, so we must rest assured that those of us, Christians, will be just fine no matter what happens.

And second, we must witness – we must preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Reach out to your friends and expanded network. Jesus Christ had to come because there just was too much sin on this earth. There still is, but all of us who have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior are now saved from sin and death. To the extent that Christians get closer to Jesus and behave more like Jesus, we’ll be showing those who follow false religions what it is like to be a Christian. This is not on President Trump alone – this is a mandate to all of us. Muslim honor Jesus as a great prophet – we have a golden opportunity to witness that Jesus is, in fact, our Savior.

John 13:34: A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
