The Fighting Christians

A reminder of how close the West came to being overrun by Islamic Fascism.



Most Christian churches these days speak of peace and love. They espouse non-violent, prayerful solutions to problems. However, many Christians are not aware that western civilization would not exist without the "fighting Christians" of old. The Ottoman Empire once reached the gates of Vienna and laid siege to that city during the 17th Century. These Muslims had already conquered virtually all of Eastern Europe and fully intended to sweep the European continent. Vienna was an important, strategic location and would have enabled the Ottomans to pierce the heart of Europe. The saving grace of Western Civilization was John III Sobieski, King of Poland. He was urged to fight for the West by Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. With the help of Charles V, Duke of Lorraine, they fought and defeated the Ottomans with not much time to spare.

The Ottomans continued to fight the Christian nations of Europe for many more years. In total, the Ottomans waged a 30 year battle of aggression against Europe....hoping to bring down the Christians and rule Europe under the crescent of Islam. This was the last mass warfare between the forces of Christianity and the forces of Islam. The Christians won. No one will ever know how many Christians lost their lives in battle trying to save a future for people like you and me. They faced off against the greatest military power in the world...and won.

So what does this have to with events today? Militant Islam is not a new concept. Al Qaida didn't invent the call to destroy Western civilization. Since the beginning, Islamic Fascists fully intended to take over the world. Today we can see the fruits of their labor. Islamic Fascists are spreading like wildfare in Asia, the edges of southeastern Europe, and Africa. They are migrating into and taking up residence in nations that foolishly allow them to grow unchecked. Britain is probably in the most peril currently. Recently, Islamic Fascists proclaimed that Britain would be the first western country to fall. They claim that the Islamic flag will fly over every governmnent building in Britain before long. And after that, the White House.

Modern Christians have got to wake up and realize that we are already at war. Yes, peace and love are ideal. But at other times, warfare is the only language Fascists understand. Should be we threatened by countries that push for our destruction, we must be willing to do what is necessary to destroy them.
