  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Smoke billows from the site of an Israeli strike that targeted the Jabal Al-Rehan area in the southern Lebanese Jezzine district on September 21, 2024. The Israeli military announced on September 21 that it was carrying out new air strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, without offering details.

In a series of coordinated attacks, Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel's Jezreel Valley early Sunday, targeting multiple locations, including Haifa, Ramat David air base, Nazareth, Afula and the lower Galilee.

"Another barrage of Hezbollah rockets at Nazareth. The hometown of Jesus, a town which is 70% Muslim & 30% Christian and almost entirely Arab," noted American Evangelical leader Johnnie Moore, president of the Congress of Christian Leaders, on social media.

"For months Hezbollah has been targeting the Galilee, the geographic heart of Jesus' ministry."

We hear AOC whining on about how outrageous it is for Isreal to target known terrorist with electronic devices but never, never, ever say one thing about the unprovoked and indiscriminate bombing, beheading, burning, multilating and raping of these terrorist on innocents.

It shows gross hypocracy and exposes the true agenda of these radicals. Which is they hate freedoms, democracy, the West, Jews and Christians. That people within our own free nations are willing to undermine our way of life for an ideological belief. In other words side with the terrorists.

That’s what I’ve been fearing all along.

I'm still surprised AOC was somehow elected. It blows my mind.

Yes of course. Which makes it fundementally a spiritual battle. Theres more than one way to rebel against God. It was no coincident that the early formation of free nations was based on God and Christian values.

When we abandon God we also abandon those truth values and open up to all sorts of defiance. But one thing in common is its based on hate, hate for differences that are not like themselves. Even in belief and thought.

Which really despite the ideologues claims that they are about diversity, inclusion and equality (not equity) and creating some joyful utopia the actual reality on the streets is the complete opposite. So that in itself tells us its opposing Christs teachings.

Lets say the Islamist continued their attacks on the west like they have on Isreal. How long before we act to stop them. Do we just sit there, do we try and reason with them. No we've done that and know it doesn't work.

This has been going on for years now. Islamist extremists have grown not reduced. Its like having a gang in your neighbourhood who are going around attacking locals. The more you ignore them or even worse treat them like they are not criminals with weak laws and concequences and they grow and the problem gets worse.

You know sooner or later you have to confront the problem as its not going away. Thats what has happened with the Islamist. We seen their horror years ago with 9/11 but even before that. We seen the many acts they have committed on the west. Covid stopped most of that but it just went somewhere else and the Islamist will inevitably turn their attention to the west again.

So we know its a festering problem that we have ignored to our peril. Isreal are more in the firing line so are well ahead of where we are at. I think this was inevitable. It was always going to come to a head in the free world and dealing with these radicals front on as they will not stop.

Maybe this will lead to a major war. But whats the alternative. We tried to reason, we tried diplomacy, we compromised but still they come. Thats because its not about rationality but fanatical belief. Its about a clash of worldviews, one that believes in freedoms and one that believes in a holy caliphate where everyone is forced to go along or else.

So as the conflict evolves into a clash of how we should order ourselves as people the radicals within the west, the Woke, the Queers for Palestine, the student ideologues and radical politicians and corporations have to think carefully about which hill they want to die on. Whether to side with these extremists are defend our way of life. To equate the two is incoherent and dangerous.
