The New Crusades - The West's Holy War Against A Defiant, Implacable, Radical Islam

The French defeated the invading Muslim Saracens in 732 at the Battle of Tours, and in honor of the victory, saving Christianity from the barbaric Islamic hordes, claimed the title of The Eldest Daughter of the Church (la fille aînée de l’Église). 

 

In 1095 Pope Urban II began the two hundred year war against Islam, sending his crusaders to Jerusalem to rid the Holy Land of Muslim invaders. 

Islam has been a problem for the West for well over a thousand years, and its claim to be a peaceful religion is belied by its centuries-long aggression against 'the infidel' and the hegemonic desire to create a universal Muslim caliphate. 

Radical Islam lay dormant for many centuries, but in recent years has been renascent.  ISIS, the Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and especially their patron, Iran, have expressed their intentions to exterminate the Jews and bring Christians under the yoke of the Prophet.  Millions of Muslims have repopulated Europe, and thanks to successive Leftist governments who welcomed them in a show of internationalism, tolerance, and magnanimity, they represent significant proportions of populations in many countries. 

While Iran and its Middle East proxies were waging war against Israel, these European Muslims have been slowly but progressively eroding the Christian fabric of the continent. Defiantly opposed to be integrated within the godless, secular, democratic societies to which they have migrated and insisting on sharia law and the right to continue their punitive, censorious, and medieval ways, these Muslims have corroded the polity of Europe and fomented divisiveness, hatred, and civil unrest. 

European leaders especially Meloni of Italy, Marechal and LePen in France, Orban of Hungary, Duda of Poland, Farage of the UK, Weidel of Germany, and Wilders of the Netherlands, have finally said Basta! and begun to effect drastic changes in their countries' immigration laws and approach to non-integrationist Muslim communities.

'I am Italian', shouted Giorgia Meloni to a cheering Italian crowd. 'I am Giorgia. I am a woman, a mother, an Italian, and a Christian', she said, expressing pride in her European heritage, the greatness of Italy and Western civilization, and her intention to remain a proud leader of a Christian country. 

Other leaders might be less eloquent about the historical legacy of Europe - the greatness of kings, courtiers, and empire and the Christianity which provided the foundation and inspiration for it - but are no less defiant about the insidious, corrosive, and corrupting nature of Islam within their borders.  They have no qualms about labelling Islam as the enemy of the state, of civil society, and of Christianity; and in so doing reiterate the words and intentions of the medieval popes who preceded them. 

At the same time the West stood by while Iran publicly and defiantly stated its intentions to wipe Israel off the map and to exterminate the Jews.  They demurred while Iran funded and armed their Middle Eastern clients and provoked war against Israel in a determined move to make good on their anti-Jew hatred.

Finally Israel and the United States have acted, and President Trump, radically changing the tone, posture, and approach to Islam - it is the foundation, the inspiration, and the justification for an aggressive, hegemonic political force.  No longer can terrorists shouting Allahu Akbar be considered only political radicals opposing colonialism and secular oppression.  They are murderous, hysterical, crazed religious zealots. 

For years under liberal Democrat rule in the United States, a false, disingenuous, and idealistically deformed Left insisted the opposite.  Condemning Islam was against the progressive charter, for it was as welcome as Christianity under the big tent of diversity.  The idea of tolerance became the cover for craven acceptance of Islamic militancy and radical territorialism.  

Islam is not the problem, liberals insisted, but social and economic inequality, racism, and colonialism.  The Ayatollahs repeatedly reconfirmed their intention to kill the Jews and destroy Israel; but no one paid attention.  Meanwhile Iran and its proxies went about their business of militant religious nationalism. 

It took the October 7th attack by Hamas terrorists on Israeli civilians to wake up the Christian world to the reality of Muslim extremism.  These Iran-supported attackers were making good on their patron's promise to rid the world of Israel and Jews - a jihad, a religious war against the infidel as encouraged by and promised in the Quran.

 

It was time to act, and Israel mounted an aggressive preemptive attack on Iran in a move to degrade and destroy the military infrastructure responsible for its continuing assault on the Jewish homeland and to prepare the way for a destruction of its nuclear capability.  The United States joined the effort and with specialized deep-penetration megaton bombs 'obliterated', in the President's words, its nuclear installations. 

Israel had always said that the threat of its enemies was existential - the very survival of the country and its people was at stake - and they would never, ever allow that to happen.  Israel alone took Iran seriously and always knew that someday they would have to attack, destroy and permanently defeat it. 

So the Holy War, the new Crusades, has begun.  There is now an international consensus about the threat of radical Islam - a real threat, not a racist invention, a justification or Israeli occupation and American world authority.  Only the predictably anti-Israeli United Nations is crying foul, howling to the world about the Jewish predator, the aggressor, the racist occupier. 

Europe will put a dead stop to illegal immigration, will insist upon integration, will ban the burqa, the hijab, and the chador. It will refuse medical service to those who refuse the secular, democratic basis of health care.  It will monitor, censure, and close mosques which under pretext of religion are sleeper cells for Islamic radicalism.

Marion Marechal, a leader of the French Right has said that never will she allow her daughter to grow up in country which allows the punitive, misogynist treatment of girls and women.  Islam is not the religious equal of Christianity, she unashamedly asserts, and it never will be. 

The anti-American, anti-European sentiments expressed by the American Left are an expression of progressive reformist ideology.  Christian Europe can never be admired, respected, or looked to for inspiration because of its colonial past. It must be treated as though it never existed.  

'Year Zero', shout American liberals echoing the murderous Cambodian dictator Pol Pot who had millions of his people killed in pursuit of a deformed Maoist idealism.  The past does not exist, he said, only today and the glorious Communist future. 

European conservatives are having none of it, and have finally come to the realization that Western, Christian civilization is once again facing an Islamic threat.  Let the new Crusades begin again, and let us repeat the victories at Poitier, Tours, and Jerusalem.
