I walked into the living room this
morning and my wife was watching
the news. She said ”another terrorist
attack” with all the shock and
surprise of a person observing that
the sun had risen in the east or water had turned to ice in the freezer. It’s
not that she didn’t care, or that I
don’t, but this is all a part of
the standard procedure now. Brush
your teeth, put on your shoes, watch
the news coverage about an Islamic terrorist attack, walk the dog. And so
on and so on and so on. The only
really shocking thing anymore is that
nothing is shocking anymore. As you know, this one was in Belgium. One explosion at a subway
station in Brussels and another two
blasts at the Brussels airport. Dozens
dead. Hundreds injured. And so on
and so on and so on. Of course, the only thing more
routine than Muslims slaughtering
mass numbers of innocents is how
people react to it here in America.
The same old arguments, amounting
to nothing. President Barack Obama stopped
flapping his limp wrists in Cuba long enough to deliver a quick and empty statement about the attacks. He
called for “unity” and spewed a
few other dull platitudes that have no
meaning. And so on and so on and
so on. In this photo provided by Georgian

I’m sick of hearing about the great
benefits of multiculturalism. Europe is
drowning in a tidal wave of
unassimilated Muslims who are
actively hostile to Europe’s culture, or what’s left of it. And for their trouble,
Europeans are being gang raped in the street at night and blown to
pieces during their morning
commute. Diversity is a strength, they tell me,
but I have seen no evidence to
support this doctrine. Diversity of
thought might be a strength, but
even then it is only a strength if the
thought is rational and directed towards truth. The
nonsensical thoughts of relativistic
nincompoops are not valuable or
helpful. Similarly, racial and cultural diversity
does not enrich us if we lose our
identity in the process. When
you throw a bunch of people with
diametrically opposed beliefs and
values and priorities into a food processor and hit frappe, you end up
with a smoothie that tastes an awful
lot like the collapse of western
civilization and the rise of barbarians. I didn’t say all of that on Twitter,
what with the character limit, but that
was my point. I also said I’m sick of
the religious equivalences. Every time
Muslims kill a bunch of people,
secular liberals start in with their standard attempts to prove Christians
are just as bad. It seems nothing will
ever convince them that perhaps
Islam is somewhat unique in its
capacity for violence and atrocities. So, naturally, my protests against
equivalences were met with
equivalences. A bunch of leftists told
me Christianity and Islam are equal
because of, among other things, a
series of 11th century military campaigns. And so on and so on and
so on. But it got even more absurd. Leftists
are so desperate to draw parallels
between Christianity and Islam that
one of them attempted to mitigate
the Brussels attack by reminding me about the Christians who took over a
nature reserve in Oregon a few
weeks ago. Me: “Muslims keep blowing things
up.” Liberals: “Yeah but Christians
trespassed on a wildlife refuge in
Oregon!” God help us. An angry Pakistani demonstrator

said. Over 3,000 Muslim protestors
turned violent over derogatory remarks allegedly made by a
young Christian, Sawan Masih, 28
against Prophet Muhammad in a
Christian neighboorhood in Badami
Bagh area. Getty Images I know this is probably a futile effort,
but, in light of this umpteenth Islamic
terrorist attack this year, I want to
concentrate on this Christianity vs.
Islam comparison for a moment. I
know I probably will never convince leftists to stop idolizing
multiculturalism and diversity, but
perhaps I can convince them to stop
pretending Islam and Christianity are
on the same playing field. OK, I know I will not convince them
of that either, but allow me to waste
my breath anyway. Let’s start with the fact that we
knew the terrorists in Brussels were
Muslim without waiting for anyone to
confirm it. We always know it without
being told. Leftists know it too, but
they haven’t stopped to ask themselves, if Islam is a peaceful
religion, why are Muslims literally the
only people in the world setting
bombs off in subway stations and
airports and theaters and embassies
and restaurants. Spin this anyway you like, but right now the global
terrorism market is a Muslim
monopoly. We are certain a terrorist
attack was carried out by Muslims the
moment the bomb explodes.
Shouldn’t that tell you something? There is no Christian terrorism
epidemic. That’s why nobody stops
and says, “Wait, maybe the Brussels
airport is covered in blood and
debris because a white Presbyterian
was trying to make a point about Jesus!” Nobody says that because
there is literally zero chance of that
being the case. Zero chance. It’s not
possible. On the extraordinarily rare
occasion that a Christian launches a
lethal attack against a civilian target in the name of his faith, it’s almost
always against something like an
abortion clinic. And even then, it
almost never happens. The last one
was months ago, and the dude was
psychotic, not religious. Still, if you count him, that makes
about one attack every decade or so,
usually with no causalities, carried
out against a facility that executes
children. Compare that with the
endless stream of massive assaults waged in the name of Islam against
entirely random and innocent
civilians sitting in restaurants or
waiting in lines at airports or subway
stations. You can’t compare them.
There is no comparison to be made. Indeed, the fact that abortion clinics
don’t have to be fortified and
surrounded by 40 armed guards
every hour of the day shows just
how incredibly effective Christianity is
at preventing its adherents from resorting to violence in its name. So,
yes, Christianity can lecture other
religions about violence. Christianity
is much better at standing against
violence. Christianity is much more
effective at advancing peace in the world. Christianity is just a better
religion. It’s better. In every way. It’s
better. ADVERTISEMENT Christianity can lecture other religions about violence. And it’s better not only because far
fewer acts of evil are performed in its
name, but because many more acts
of love and mercy are performed in
its name. No other religion sends
people out to every decaying and forgotten corner and crevice of this
Earth to heal the sick, serve the
needy, and minister to the hopeless.
No other religion runs nearly as
many hospitals, homeless shelters,
soup kitchens, etc. If you find a group of foreigners
digging a well in Guatemala or
handing out mosquito nets in
Uganda, they’re probably Christians.
On the other hand, if you find a
group of foreigners planting explosives in a subway station,
they’re probably Muslims. Christians themselves are flawed, but
the faith has had, to put it mildly, an
unmistakably positive influence on
the world. Right now, as we speak,
there are millions upon millions of
people across the planet who would not be eating, taking medicine, or
sleeping in a warm bed without the
concerted efforts of Christians acting
at the behest of Scripture. And as a
reward, some of them can look
forward to being crucified, literally. By Muslims, of course. Christianity built western civilization.
Christianity advanced the doctrine of
Natural Law, which serves as the
basis for all of our liberties.
Christianity defeated slavery and
won the fight for civil rights. Christianity had a hand, and
sometimes was the only hand, in
most every good and decent thing
about this world. Christians are not perfect, but
Christianity is. And the more Christian
the world is, the better the world is.
The less, the worse. That’s how it’s
worked for 2,000 years. History has
demonstrably proven Christianity to be an objectively necessary and
indispensable force for good over
and over and over again. Equivalence? You cannot begin to
find one. There are bad Christians
and good Muslims, but if Christianity
ceased to exist, millions of people
would die. If Islam ceased to
exist, millions of people wouldn’t. Draw whatever conclusions you
want from there, but you cannot
conclude that the two are equal. Photo credit: Shutterstock Photo credit: Shutterstock Christianity, I should note, is also
true. It’s the only completely true
religion. Other religions have arrived
at some truths, but Christianity is
truth. And because it stands in the
fullness of truth, it is capable of bringing a goodness to the world
that Islam and other false religions
cannot. Christians, individually, are
responsible for plenty of evil, but that
evil is a result of their rejection of the
truth of Christian doctrine. The more they reject it, the worse they are. The
more they accept it, the better. Again,
history has demonstrated this. The word “fundamentalist” has a
negative connotation because it is so
often applied to people who are
fundamentalists of fundamentally
false ideologies and religions. By
definition, if being a fundamentalist of your faith means you are a violent,
animalistic savage, that means there
is something fundamentally violent,
animalistic and savage about your
faith. People say “terrorists aren’t
Muslims — they’re fundamentalist Muslims,” not realizing they’ve
condemned Islam in an attempt to
exonerate it. But what are Christian
fundamentalists? Women who wear
long skirts and give birth to more
than two kids? Men who go to
church and read their Bibles?
Unmarried couples who save sex for marriage? Pro-lifers who pray
outside of abortion clinics? Bakers
who won’t make cakes for gay
weddings? Nuns? Pastors?
Missionaries? Liberals are fond of saying
“fundamentalism” is the problem
generally, as if living by your
convictions is wrong regardless of
the nature of your convictions. Such
an idiotic notion can be expected from moral relativists who believe
nothing to be fundamentally true,
therefore anyone who adheres to
any fundamental doctrine, no matter
the doctrine, is dangerous. On the contrary, Christian
fundamentalism is a great blessing to
society. It makes people peaceful,
disciplined, humble, and kind. A
Christian fundamentalist opens a
pregnancy center to help women. A Muslim fundamentalist drags
a woman into the town square and
stones her to death. Equivalence?
Stop it. Obscure nut jobs like the Westboro
Baptists are not Christian
fundamentalists. They are apostates.
They’ve fabricated their own
fundamentals and sprinkled a little
Jesus on top of the fake religion they made up. Christian fundamentalists
are only a problem when they are
fundamentally dedicated to the
fundamentals of their own heresies.
But even these Christian heretics
aren’t often found shooting up Paris to advance their cause. In fact, aside from Islam, the only
other truly violent religion in
existence is liberalism. The Church of
Liberalism advocates and facilitates
the murder of a million children a
year, dwarfing the death toll of every Muslim terrorist attack this decade
combined. The only faith not in a
position to lecture Islam, then, is the
faith that constantly excuses it. I
suppose there’s some consistency
there, at least. I’ve long theorized that liberals
rationalize for militant Islam because
they sympathize with its methods.
This is the basis for the odd alliance
— really it’s a one sided alliance —
between Western secular leftism and Middle Eastern Islamic extremism.
They both share a tolerance for
brutality and a hatred for truth. But of the theist religions, Islam is the
only one routinely massacring
civilians across the world. The only
one. Stop claiming otherwise. Stop
equivocating. Whether you believe in Christianity or
not, it’s superiority is beyond
question. And the fact that it is so
superior ought to make you
reconsider your decision not to
believe it. By its fruits you shall know it. We’ve seen the fruits. The answer is clear.

OP you couldnt have said it better. This is nothing but the gospel truth.
