We can tell them, and convince them. When we try, some ways will be more effective than others. We are in a vast spiritual war, and until the judgments in Revelation are fulfilled, we can and are commanded to win as many spiritual battles as we can. As Christians we are trying to bring life even to those whose mission is death. We have truth and love available as our weapons, and must not yield to despair.
The U.S. should get out of Syria, and most (perhaps all) of the Middle East. Will that lead to an increase in the numbers and power of ISIS? Maybe, maybe not...either way it's too late. Whatever damage the U.S. has done with all these wars, both overt and covert, Muslims hate us and will pursue revenge all the days of their lives...as this article clearly illustrates. Staying longer will not change that. It's a spiritual war, not a physical one. Let them fight among themselves, as they always have. They want to "convert" the entire world to Islam (allegedly) via the Caliphate, but prefer killing all non-Muslims, Jew first, then Christians (Gentiles) probably in that order. We need to defend ourselves yes, from a position of strength and prepare for that. Because it's not slowing down -- just look at much of Western Europe. It will be majority Muslim, and in some parts already is.
How kin ya teach them kids that those that raised 'em (parents, aunts, uncles cousins) are just plain wrong? ALL whom they trust, they natch'urly believe--without question--an' that's all thru whom they're taught to hate...
That these sweet faced boys openly admit ta bein' willin' to murder that lovely (modestly dressed no less) journalist is proof.
When duz that door close? Six? Eight? Ten? When will they be beyond help... embracin' their "destiny" to kill all us infidels, joos first an' never "question" the story they're given...?
I had no clue 'bout these "camps" or the threat--but gorsh they seem ta be true breedin' grounds fer this murderous radicalism.
Just havin' these folks live in a "holding pen" makes 'em more angry, yet they pose too great a danger to be "let out." Whosoever treats 'em with kindness "might" have some effect... Or, might "western" teachers "also" be allowed in? Not to convert or force.... but simply to SHOW what Western life is like... SHOW what "other" folks think, do, how they live?
If the way outta Islam (for some) is SEEIN' "The West" an' how freer lives stand in contrast to theirs... showin' up the lies they are told.... without words, just with images if need be... then they might larn ta THINK fer themselfs or rethink the lessons they're gettin'...
Without education and a real look-see inta the world outside their camp... they'll never change an' THAT is to our peril! They are bein' left ta fester & boil like a plague in a pot! I FEAR bad fer 'em....
methinks in some cases this is just as ya say... but others I've heard (literally they've said this on camera...) that they ultimately abandoned Islam after havin' a "crisis" of thought seein' (on snuck in phone clips) happy people who were not Muslims an' yet who did not seem ta be miserable or "infidel monsters" -- Not sure if it's individual (the few that rethought their faith... it's FEW fer sure...) but I don't know Islam enuf ta see if that's a way forward... Karen here might know better...
MANY humans changed their path once they saw "new horizons"--I mebbe too hopeful that's a an "approach"... but it did indeed work fer at least "a few..."...
People who are capable of that are a small minority in any population so, obviously, Muslims included.
Gad Saad, a Lebanese Canadian Jew and YouTuber who had to flee Lebanon with his family as a child, explains that once a Muslim population reaches a certain percentage of a country's population, the dynamics change. The behaviour of the Muslim group changes. This is a matter of numbers. It's one thing to look at the group as many individuals and another to look at the between group effects, between Muslims and the other groups of people living in that country. This is something like looking at qualitative versus quantitative data.
I'm failing to express this very well.
I've been living with Muslim friends, students, neighbours, colleagues for nigh on 40 years. This is not abstract or academic for me. I could tell you many stories.
1. I ❤️❤️❤️ Gad Saad! been follerin' him fer a few years now! He's such a DEAR soul, brilliant, funny... all that. I know he's spoken 'bout some'a his Muslim soccer friends (some that call him "one of the good jews" lol)--yup, not all git it...
2. no no, yer tellin' it clearly... that's sad then (vs Saad!)... bein' from NYC I used ta SEE Muslims daily jus' on the train, walkin' the streets--but in my profess'shin' (thee-ate-er & film) there are NONE that I knew! (some secular Arab performers of course but no Muslims I ever met an' I'm no spring chicken lol) In our whirled of homeschoolin' my girls, there were very few Muslim famblies--a few shy laydees joined science club but even within our GIANT community of all sorts of people & backgrounds... there were near-none (not sure why 'cept that perhaps what we did an' how the kids were allowed ta play 'n such didn't jibe with their faith)....
So ironically as a city gal always--my exposure was near nil--tho' I saw women in hi-jab all the time... I don't git 'em at ALL... an' it's only with Karen's help here I larned how much "us joos" are hated by them even tho' I did nuttin' at all 'cept "exist"--really learnin' 'bout Islam NOW! I had no clue most've my life.
I hear ya... used ta live/study in Frawnce m'self...(Paris III/Censier) I wuz just commentin' elsewhar on Karen's stack that back in those, my roam/main salad dayz, gee-haw'dists bombed my stew-dent bookstore (FNAC) just one day after I'd been thar & the dept. store Galleries Lafayette... an' other sites an' I ONLY (foolishly) heard it wuz some kinda "Middle Eastern" complexity an' I had NO CLUE 'bout Islam or the threat at the time.... (as a joo but even had I not been! liberal / lefty joos never taught any've us ta discriminate against anyone so if they knew MORE they hid it in the name of "fairness"... possibly to our peril...?)
as a young'un I felt invincible... an' never delved deeper inta the why's 'n wherefores
France gottit bad well 'fore the USA but there's a lotta sleeper cells here now... this ain't the protestin' trust fund kids--I mean the real deal like ya got in France... (are ya in Paris? I CANNOT bee-lieve mah eyes what's become of the lovely streets.... )
afaik, back then (mid80s) there were some "issues" but they mostly took place en banlieu... MY how thangs changed! (no longer kin be marginalized)...
I went to Censier too, starting in '84. We have probably crossed paths, crossed each other in the hallways if not in the classroom. You have got me reminiscing and trying to piece together the past. I use my real name and photo on here as a matter of principle but don't like to reveal too much about my personal life on line.
nice! funny how life goes an' who ya meet in the strange world online!...an' who knows we didn't cross paths ?! (advisor wuz michel marie fer mah défense de thèse / soutenance ;-)
sure! instructions pls. tho--I don't know 'bout DMs or "follerin'"-- apologies fer bein' sumthin' of a luddite! (I DO know how ta reply when folks direct message me--I've done that much ;-)
These satanic lunatics go by different names-- ISIS, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah. It makes no difference because all are the same. They move from country to country. Always some live after battles and regroup somewhere else. They kill and/or torture any person that does not follow Mohammed and pray to Allah. It does not matter what religion you are or where you live. They especially hate Jews and Israel, but Christians and America are next on their list. They will not stop the killing as this is their purpose in life. They control Ireland. They are gaining control and population in England, France and Germany. They have invaded the USA. Muslims are you actual pandemic on earth. They must be defeated and destroyed wherever they are or all people will be praying to Allah or they will be dead.
The only solution is to kill all of these people; men, women, and children- but no-one in the west, nor I suspect here, has the stomach for this reality. For everyone who follows to criticise what I’ve said, please ensure you provide your solution, thanks.

Excellent piece. Thank you.
🙏
Thank you for the truth, it’s rare
🙏 It's getting rarer to have anyone respond as you have.
But we have such a powerful message. The 12 Coptic martyrs had it too. Forgiveness is the opposite to jihad
Painful ta see this..."death wish children."

No, Muslim immigrants in Western Europe see how we live and it doesn't make them question, it makes them feel inferior and resentful.
methinks in some cases this is just as ya say... but others I've heard (literally they've said this on camera...) that they ultimately abandoned Islam after havin' a "crisis" of thought seein' (on snuck in phone clips) happy people who were not Muslims an' yet who did not seem ta be miserable or "infidel monsters" -- Not sure if it's individual (the few that rethought their faith... it's FEW fer sure...) but I don't know Islam enuf ta see if that's a way forward...

I could not make such a decision. But I understand what you're saying.
