War with Islam

Submitted by Capt Dave Petteys (United States), Jul 20, 2006 at 15:54

Unfortunately, what we have is the RESUMPTION of Western Civilization's struggle with Islam that raged over 1000 years. True, it's been on hold for the last 323 years since the last battle outside the walls of Vienna in 1683. But with our pumping billions of petro dollars into these medieval governments, they now have the wherewithall to revive and pursue their medieval goals: to wit, convert the world to Islam by the sword.

Our friends on the Left don't understand that "every generation has to win its freedom anew". They prefer to dwell on two generations ago and choose to believe the victories won then by our grandfathers will hold us forever.

One anti war slogan is "What if they gave a war and nobody came?" If this means they would refuse to fight Islam, the answer would be the loss of our Western Civilization, our freedoms and our lives by the millions.

Best Regards,
