Islam vs. The World: WORLD WAR 'ISLAM' HAS BEGUN (WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES)

The Third World War has begun, in spite of the fact that few people recognize it. The conflict isn't between communist and free, as we long expected, but instead between Muslim and the rest of the world. Although militant Muslims in Iraq and Syria (ISIS, Al Qaeda) have stolen the headlines, it is not long before we see them around the world, making a play for power.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Right away, one fact needs to be straightened out. Many apologists and politically correct people will make an immediate distinction between Islamic terrorists and what they refer to as mainstream Islam. According to these people, the terrorists are the extremists and Islam is a religion of peace.

This thinking needs to be reframed. The militants are responding to the kafir (non-Muslims) as directed by the Quran. The book is very clear. You have a few basic options. You may convert, flee with nothing, pay a punishing tax, or die.

The Quran also instructs that the entire world is to be converted. Islam is not just for a few Middle Eastern countries. No, the banner of Islam is intended for all nations, all the world. And if enticements of paradise don't work, then that banner should be raised with the help of the sword.

This is mainstream Islam, not extremism. The extremists are the liberal Muslims who think Islam has little business spreading itself by violence. Those Muslims, although the vast majority in number, are apostates and they will be lumped together with the Christians, the Jews, and other infidels, kafirs, and devils that must be destroyed to make way for a new Islamic State.

These people will not stop at the borders of their native states. The "Islamic State" will not stop at the Turkish or Saudi border. Boko Haram will not stop at the border of Nigeria. Abu Sayyeff will not stop in the Philippines, and Al Shabaab will not stop with Somalia. In fact, the world seems to be on the brink of a global Islamic uprising that will not only include the active, militant movements that exist across Africa and Asia, but may soon include outbursts of activity in Europe and the Americas.

It's coming, fast.

Christians are being murdered around the world at a rate unprecedented in history. Even during the time of the cruelest Roman emperors, persecutions were occasional, limited affairs-violent in their own way, deadly but brief.

We are now facing a long-term, sustained threat in the form of fundamentalist Islam.

Islam sees the world in black and white. All things are either good or evil. America and the western world is a great evil. America itself is the Great Satan, and we're going to have a very hard time arguing that point because the United States is quite evil.

Disagree? Think about it. The United States has legitimized or accepted every form of vice imaginable.

-    Americans consume more drugs than any other civilization on the planet.
-    Americans traffick humans and live off the fruits of modern-day slavery.
-    Every kind of libertine sexual perversion is permitted.
-    Men can "marry" men with the blessing of the law, pedophiles and rapists are released onto the streets.
-    Pornography is literally everywhere, even in our mainstream commercial advertisements.
-    Atheists propagate their faith, often at the expense of others.
-    Divorce rates are extremely high.
-    Women have babies with multiple men (men are responsible for this.)
-    Half of the population is on the public dole in some form.
-    And we have Kanye West, who literally believes he is greater than Jesus.

Americans worship celebrities and the dollar, not God or Allah, and we grow obese on rich foods. We eschew hard work.

How can we expect to command respect or instill fear in our enemies when we're too cowardly to face an enemy man-to-man? We restrict the military to using drones and cruise missiles instead of meeting the jihadist face-to-face, a strategy that has never worked in all the ages of asymmetrical warfare. Even the president of Iran found this cowardice worthy of ridicule. America is a laughing stock.

Americans are craven, cowardly, obese, slovenly devils that deserve no mercy after decades of policies that have persecuted Muslims around the world. We shouldn't act surprised in the face of their aggression. We're weak, especially morally.

These Muslims truly believe they are doing Allah's work in killing the infidel. They are also more capable of doing this work than at any time in the past.

The militants now have modern technology and they have leveraged it to broadcast their mission. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube have all been leveraged to terrible effect. The Islamic State produces slick videos, even videos which depict brutal executions have a staged, finished quality to them. The message is subtle but clear-these are not ordinary terrorists and this is not an ordinary movement.

The terrorists are already recruiting in the United States and around the globe. Hundreds of fighters have come from the west and thousands more from other countries around the world. The Islamic State has sympathizers everywhere. Islam is not confined to a state. The religion has no regard for what a passport says. One is either in or out, an ally or an enemy. Examine your life. What do you think you are to Islam?

The black banner of the Islamic State has appeared in the Philippines, in Nigeria, Somalia, and North Africa. In the western regions of North Africa, militant Islamists are growing in power and soon they too will grab their share of headlines.

The world has not seen such a threat from Islam since the battles of Tours (732) and Vienna (1529).

World War III has started and we remain asleep. How much longer before we get serious about this very real, existential threat to Christianity and our nation? The only defense is to turn back toward God, to convert souls to Christ and abandon our wickedness. Only then will we have the moral strength to confront Islam and stop the world-eating movement in its tracks.

It remains to be seen if even one American in ten can accomplish this.
