Against Islam, the West needs a hero

Will the anti-Christ rise up to help save the West? Dr. Thomas O. Hecht, founder of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies and Chairman of its International Advisory Board, writes, though it is 'politically correct' to say Islam is a religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims want to live in peace... it is fanatics who set the tone in Islamic countries. And historically, fanatics rule over and silence the peaceful majority, as in Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, North Korea and China. It is the extremists...who dictate policies, and set the agenda...

Is the Adversary using both Islam and Humanism to squeeze mankind into his trap? Hecht's excellent analysis gets frighteningly prophetic:

The Western world today needs a leader who will powerfully defend Western values against radical Islamic usurpers and their allies...

Today, the main leader of radical Islamist forces is Iranian President Ahmadinejad...Facing him are America, pacifist-oriented Europe, and America's alleged Sunni Arab allies. Israel, [Iran's] target for elimination, is the only democratic state in this part of the world allied to the values of the West...

In the short period of time since Carter capitulated to the Ayatollahs, Iran has progressively influenced events in the ME. Today, it strongly influences Iraq's Shi'ite PM Al-Maliki and manipulates Shi'ite militias in Iraq. Iran also has built Hizbullah into a military force...that controls Lebanon and threatens Israel, and has supported the creation of Hamastan in Gaza.

As Churchill said after Chamberlain returned from Munich in 1938 with his appeasement policy freshly signed, We are existentially threatened by the malice of the wicked, enhanced by the weakness and hesitation of the allegedly virtuous. The anti-Christ could easily arise and save the West, while maintaining an anti-God philosophy. ("Islamic Imperialism: Ongoing Tragedy of the ME," T.
