Let's be realistic about Islam

Secularism is No Match for Radical Islam

Summary

Father Benedict Kiely, a Catholic priest, suggests Christians should strive to convert Muslims in order to defeat their violent faith.

Quote

"What drives a former criminal to commit acts of murder and destruction is exactly what drove Islamic militants to wreak the destruction that I witnessed in Iraq — it was my fourth visit there — and that continues to drive them all over the world. It is not, as we are relentlessly told by the experts, an “ideology” that must be “combated.” It is commitment to the faith of Islam, albeit a particular form of the faith." 

Understanding

Words can't describe the horror that is ISIS, but to equate them with Islam is like saying the Westboro Baptist Church represents Christianity. Exaggerating their threat to peace in the West is the kind of argument that launched the Crusades.

Let's keep a level-headed, realistic perspective.
