Gay Europeans Know the Truth: The Spirit of Appeasement is Killing Us

Sadly, the fact remains: Islamic revolution is spreading rapidly, threatening the civil liberties of all freedom-loving people. If the secularists and multiculturalists refuse to listen to the warnings of American and British voices worldwide, perhaps they will listen to a homosexual from Norway, Bruce Bawer, who writes:

It’s very clear what’s going on here — and where it’s all headed. Europe is on its way down the road of Islamization, and it’s reached a point along that road at which gay people’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is being directly challenged, both by knife-wielding bullies on the street and by taxpayer-funded thugs whose organizations already enjoy quasi-governmental authority. Sharia law may still be an alien concept to some Westerners, but it’s staring gay Europeans right in the face — and pointing toward a chilling future for all free people.

This is not fear-mongering or religious bigotry. Rather, it is a sober effort to face the facts and plan appropriate responses in the name of legitimate self-defense and the preservation of freedom.

Our children deserve our best efforts, just as our forefathers and mothers gave their best efforts to preserve freedom and prosperity for us. It is our sacred duty. We must unify –setting aside our petty differences — and face this greatest threat with the understanding that the aim of Islamic revolution worldwide is the complete and utter destruction of our way of life.

Note Bawer, author of While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within, reporting on how we are promoting our own demise:

Western legislatures and courts have reinforced the ‘spirit of appeasement.’ In 2005, Norway’s parliament, with virtually no public discussion or media coverage, criminalized religious insults (and placed the burden of proof on the defendant). Last year, that country’s most celebrated lawyer, Tor Erling Staff, argued that the punishment for honor killing should be less than for other murders, because it’s arrogant for us to expect Muslim men to conform to our society’s norms. Also in 2007, in one of several instances in which magistrates sworn to uphold German law have followed sharia instead, a Frankfurt judge rejected a Muslim woman’s request for a quick divorce from her brutally abusive husband; after all, under the Koran he had the right to beat her.

Those who dare to defy the West’s new sharia-based strictures and speak their minds now risk prosecution in some countries. In 2006, legendary author Oriana Fallaci, dying of cancer, went on trial in Italy for slurring Islam; three years earlier, she had defended herself in a French court against a similar charge. (Fallaci was ultimately found not guilty in both cases.) More recently, Canadian provinces ordered publisher Ezra Levant and journalist Mark Steyn to face human rights tribunals, the former for reprinting the Jyllands-Posten cartoons, the latter for writing critically about Islam in Maclean’s.

Watch if you will the calm and reasoned attempts of British police to manage a demonstration on the verge of violence, and peer into the future in America, unless we act — BRITISH RADICAL MUSLIMS OVER RUN POLICE!:

Almost without dissent, our military and intelligence experts confirm we are in a global struggle for survival against Jihadists. They confirm our best defense is a sound offense, and for all the mistakes made in Iraq, it remains the most important front in the war on terror, a place experiencing dramatic improvements in security and stability, thanks to the surge, and the resulting improvements Iraqis have brought to the security situation.

Note the recent remarks of USMC Major General John F. Kelly delivered to his troops in Iraq:

Like it or not America is engaged in a war today against an enemy that is savage, offers no quarter, whose only objectives are to either kill every one of our families in our homeland, or enslave us with a sick form of extremism that serves no God or purpose that rational men and women can understand. Given the opportunity to do another 9/11, our vicious enemy would do it today, tomorrow and everyday thereafter. I don’t know why they hate us, and I frankly don’t care and they can all go to hell, but they do hate us and are driven irrationally to our destruction. The best way to fight them is somewhere else and that is why we are here. For whatever reason they want to destroy our way of life our countrymen at home should be on their knees everyday thanking God we still have enough young people in America today willing to take up the fight as our Veterans did from the earliest days of our nation.

And yet we have a candidate for President who would undermine American volunteers on the front lines sacrificing themselves to protect us. Watch IN 52 SECS WHY BARACK OBAMA CANNOT WIN A GENERAL ELECTION:

Watch OBAMA ON IRAQ: What is Success with Al Qaeda in Iraq & Iran?:

As a matter of fact, Al Qaeda was present in Iraq before the 2003 invasion. We have been successful in Iraq, generally, and in Sadr City, Mosul and Basra, specifically. The Kurds in the north are thrilled to have been liberated from Saddam. But no amount of success satisfies people who have made up their minds, despite the facts. What about the desires and hopes of the Iraqi people?

We have another candidate for President who has the balls and the brains to stand tough, even in the face of harsh condemnation, a minority voice sounding much like Churchill from long ago. Watch McCAIN: Iraq Hearing Opening Statement:

For all the dramatic success we see today in Iraq, the U.S. media virtually ignores the upside, presumably, because it demonstrates they, and the anti-war hysterics, have been wrong, dead wrong — Success In Iraq: A Media Blackout.

We only have two choices: aggressive self-defense, or surrender.

Staying the course is the tougher road, but it is the right road.

The only alternative is settling for domination by Jihadi extremists.

One candidate understands the stakes, the realities, and the requirements. The other lives in a dream world.

Some people want God to Damn America, even some pastors believe it or not.

(God’s focus is Redemption, not Damnation. He is a God of mercy, not vengeance. Any theology to the contrary misses the point really. God judges: encouraging certain attitudes, beliefs and behaviors; condemning others. He certainly disciplines his people.)

Damnation is something we visit on ourselves in the act of rejecting God. By His grace, if we are obedient to take care of the widow and the orphan, love God and our neighbors, He richly blesses, and He has done so over and over here in America for many years.

So, some ask God to Damn America while other people pray and ask God to bless America.

God, being God, does as He pleases. As the Good Book says, He causes it to rain on the just and the unjust, and exalts His chosen. The lost, if they choose to remain so, remain so.

Looking at the evidence it appears God has brought judgment on America for national sins, in particular, the sin of slavery. The Civil War with 600,000 dead and many more wounded and maimed for life would certainly qualify as judgment “on a biblical scale.” All the turmoil and violence and heartache brought by the sin of slavery before and after the Civil War bears witness to God’s judgment.

The lingering sting of discrimination against people of color, and racial tension, are reminders of judgment and evidence of the need for more repentance.

Many people believe God is judging and disciplining us today for the sins of sensuality, permissiveness and moral relativism resulting in a holocaust against the unborn, STD epidemics, and hordes of other spiritual, emotional, and psychological plagues.

Many more believe God has blessed the world through America, and continues to do so despite our many shortcomings.

Now a super power, as a 2nd world power, we were the only hope for Europe in the dark years of WWI. Later, the world trembled in the face of Fascism, Japanese Imperialism, and later Communism, a world nearly lost for good to the yoke of bondage if not for a bunch of American farm boys, city slickers, and women munitions workers. Panama was a freedom fight. Granada was a freedom fight. Nicaragua was a freedom fight. The Cold War was a freedom fight. Vietnam and Korea were a freedom fights. And Iraq and Afghanistan are freedom fights today.

Ask any of the people affected and liberated and given hope.

We did more than bat an eye when atom bombs exploded over Japan, we wept. Then we turned and helped Japan become a world power, a friend and an ally. Same thing with Germany. Enemies become friends. What a blessing for everyone. (We’re still working on Russia.)

Today, America feeds the world.

America ministers to the world.

America fights for justice around the world.

We are leaders in the fight for human rights, and without America, the global attention to environmental preservation would have gotten a late start and run out of steam long ago.

Without America there would be no United Nations, no Red Cross, no Salvation Army, and thousands of other charitable organizations would never have been formed.

More than any other nation America gives of her blood and treasure in disproportionate amounts, gifts springing from a benevolence sparked by the God of mercy and love.

Whenever a cyclone hits Burma, a tsunami devastates Indonesia, an earthquake destroys Pakistan, or a hurricane slams the Gulf Coast, Americans are there to help, supplying the most relief, ready to shoulder any burden, render any assistance, fill any need.

According to The Index of Global Philanthorpy researched by the Hudson Institute, America is the most giving nation on earth, and most of our giving comes from private contributions (reference).

“For example, U.S. foundations gave more — in money, time, goods and expertise — than 11 of the 22 developed-country governments each gave in 2005, and U.S. private voluntary organizations totaled more than the governments of Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany and France each.”

Internally we spend $36B per year to provide food stamps for the poor.

In 2007, the federal budget was $2.7 Trillion dollars. The three major federal entitlement programs — Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security — made up 45% of the total (reference).

Private contributions from Americans for Americans amounted to $260B in 2005, up six percent from the year before (reference).

When you factor in all the state and local government programs, the rest of the federal benevolence programs, and the millions of hours of volunteerism each year in America and overseas by Americans, it is clear we give far more than we take, and we bless far more than our critics acknowledge.

Finally, the freedom we enjoy “under God” is what continues to attract people from all over the world, and even though there are tensions, we continue to treat the foreigners among us with hospitality and kindness for the most part, even when they march in protest carrying our flag upside down and condemning us.

So the next time a critic of America points the boney finger of accusation, let’s listen to heed areas of conviction and improvement needing attention, but let’s also remember that, on balance, the blessings of America far exceed her shortcomings.

And before we start patting ourselves on the back, let’s give God his due, and think about blessing Him, and thanking Him.
