Back to the Crusades

Submitted by Roger Williams (United States), Mar 1, 2007 at 19:28

Western secularism and the global supremacism inherent in Islam will need a war to settle which side wins, a war that we are already experiencing. This war will force the Westerners to mine their long lost spirituality resulting in a Crusade like attack on Islamists, whose religious foundations are certainly questioned as large masses of the cult display murder, intolerance and oppression as the logical expression of their faith. As there exists no large movement amongst themselves to topple the jihadists that define Islam, unfortunatlely they will have to choose between those who wish to be apostates and those who wish to engage the fury of the neo-Crusaders and neo-mongols who busted up their last attempt to take over the world. In theis battle, the heretofor secular Westerners will find a spiritual renniscence so much needed as they participate in this Crusade. Thus OBL will have his wish: The West and Islam at war except the outcome will not be what he wished.
