Why Islam Does Not Belong in the West

For centuries, Europe stood as Christendom - a civilization forged by the Cross, sanctified by the blood of martyrs, and held together by the faith of our fathers. But today, that same Christian Europe has welcomed an ideology that historically sought its conquest. This post is not about individual Muslims - many of whom are peaceful, law-abiding people. This post is about Islam, the religion and its doctrines, its history, its worldview. And to be blunt: Islam does not belong in the West. It never has. It never will. This isn’t racism. This isn’t xenophobia. It’s history, theology, and survival.

Islam didn’t enter Europe by mutual dialogue. It entered with fire and steel. From the Battle of Tours in 732 to the gates of Vienna in 1683, Islam made it clear: submission or war. The modern West, poisoned by relativism and cowardice, has forgotten that. And unless we remember, we will fall. Just like Constantinople did.

This post is a warning. To Americans. To Europeans. To Christians. We are not being “inclusive.” We are inviting a worldview that sees our values, our freedoms, and our very faith as an enemy to be crushed. And we must respond - not with mindless hate, but with truth, strength, and the will to defend what is good.

The Sword of Islam: How It Entered Europe

Islam did not begin as a peaceful spiritual revival. It began as a movement of religious conquest, forged by a man named Muhammad in the 7th century. Born in Mecca around 570 A.D., Muhammad was initially a merchant - one who claimed to receive revelations from the angel Gabriel at the age of 40. These visions would later form the basis of the Qur’an, Islam’s central text. But when Muhammad began preaching in Mecca, he was rejected. Not for his monotheism - the Arabs already knew of God - but because he condemned their ancestral ways and demanded total submission.

Driven out of Mecca, Muhammad fled to Medina in 622 A.D. - an event known as the Hijrah, which marks the official start of the Islamic calendar. In Medina, Muhammad transformed. He became not just a prophet, but a warlord. From here, Islam spread not by persuasion, but by the sword. Muhammad led over two dozen raids and military campaigns. He sanctioned assassinations of critics. He presided over mass executions - most infamously, the beheading of 600 to 900 men from the Jewish Banu Qurayza tribe in a single day after they surrendered. The women were enslaved. The children were sold. This is not speculation - this is recorded in Islamic sources like Ibn Ishaq’s Sirat Rasul Allah and the Hadiths.

By the time of his death in 632, Muhammad had unified most of the Arabian Peninsula under Islam - through a mixture of violence, political submission, and “offers” to convert or die. His successors, the caliphs, then took this model and applied it to the known world. In just 100 years, Islamic armies had stormed into Christian territories like Syria, Egypt, and North Africa - all of which were historically Christian, filled with monasteries, bishops, and churches. Islam erased them.

But it didn’t stop there.

By 711, Muslims had crossed into Spain. In 732, they were halted at the Battle of Tours by Charles Martel - the grandfather of Charlemagne. It was a critical moment: if the Franks had lost, Europe would have fallen to the Caliphate. And this wave of aggression never ceased. By the 9th century, Muslim raiders were attacking Italy. In 846, they sacked Rome - looting the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul. In 1683, they reached the gates of Vienna again. It was not until Christian coalitions pushed back at great cost that Europe was spared from total Islamic domination.

This is how Islam entered Europe. Not by refugee ships. Not by religious dialogue. But by bloodshed and domination.

So let’s be honest: Islam has always had one posture toward Christendom - convert, submit, or die. And unless we recover that historical memory, we will fall as they once tried to make us fall.

The Rise of Muhammad and the Birth of Islamic Expansion

To understand why Islam does not belong in the West, one must begin with its founder: Muhammad, a 7th-century Arab merchant who would later become a warlord and political leader. Born in Mecca around 570 AD, Muhammad claimed to receive revelations from the angel Jibril (Gabriel) beginning in 610 AD. These revelations would form the basis of the Qur’an. Initially preaching a message of monotheism and moral reform, Muhammad found little success in Mecca. His teachings were deeply offensive to the polytheistic tribes whose wealth depended on pilgrimage to the Kaaba.

Facing rejection, Muhammad and his followers fled to Yathrib (later Medina) in 622 AD - an event known as the Hijra, marking the beginning of the Islamic calendar. But it is in Medina that the nature of Islam transformed. No longer a simple spiritual message, it became an expansionist political force. Muhammad formed alliances, declared enemies, imposed laws, and began military campaigns. He oversaw raids, assassinations, and warfare. Unlike Christ - who rebuked Peter for using a sword - Muhammad wielded power as both prophet and commander-in-chief.

The Qur’an itself bears witness to this transformation. Early Meccan verses sound spiritual and abstract. But Medina-era verses are filled with commands to fight: “Fight those who do not believe in Allah” (Qur’an 9:29), “When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks” (Qur’an 47:4), and “Fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them” (Qur’an 9:5). These are not metaphors. They were enacted in blood.

One of the most brutal events attributed to Muhammad was the beheading of the entire male population of the Jewish Banu Qurayza tribe - approximately 600 to 900 men - after they were accused of treachery during the Battle of the Trench. Muhammad ordered the executions after a day-long siege. This is not fringe tradition - it is documented in mainstream Islamic sources like Sahih Bukhari, Ibn Ishaq, and Al-Tabari.

Later, as Islam expanded, Muhammad sent emissaries demanding submission. One famous account details his letter to Heraclius, the Byzantine Emperor, urging him to accept Islam - or else. This was not a polite offer of interfaith dialogue. It was a declaration: submit or suffer the sword. When Heraclius rejected Islam, Islamic expansion moved toward Byzantine territories - launching the first wave of jihad into the Christian world.

This is the root. Islam was not born as a purely spiritual path; it was born through political force, conquest, and dominance. The very genesis of Islam is inseparable from warfare, legal subjugation of non-Muslims, and territorial ambition. Any honest study of the religion’s founder must wrestle with this: Muhammad is not a mere spiritual teacher - he is a conqueror, a theocrat, and a man who legitimized violence in the name of God.

The Fourteen Centuries of Jihad Against Christendom

When people think of “Islamic invasions,” they often imagine recent events. But Islam’s war against the West didn’t begin in the 20th century. It began in the 7th century - and it never stopped. For fourteen centuries, from Muhammad’s death in 632 AD to the First Crusade in 1095 AD, Islamic armies waged relentless Jihad against Christian lands, enslaved Christian peoples, and tore apart the ancient heart of Christendom.

This was not incidental. It was theological. Islam’s spread was not by gentle persuasion or peaceful coexistence - it was by conquest. In Muhammad’s final years, and immediately after his death, his successors (the caliphs) launched what became the most sustained and systematic religious war in history.

Within a century of Muhammad’s death, Islam had conquered, (1 third of the Christian world) Syria (634), Palestine (637), Egypt (642), Persia (651), North Africa (by 700), and most of Spain (by 711). All of these were either majority-Christian or Christian-administered. These were not vague tribal raids - they were full-blown imperial invasions led by organized Islamic caliphates. Islam destroyed the Christian heartlands of the Eastern Roman Empire, burning churches, razing monasteries, taxing Christians into poverty, and killing those who refused submission or conversion.

What people forget - or aren’t taught - is that Egypt, Syria, and the Holy Land were Christian for centuries before they were Islamic. The Church Fathers wrote in Antioch. Alexandria was a hub of early Christian theology. And Jerusalem was the site of Christ’s Crucifixion and Resurrection. These were not Islamic lands - they were Christian lands conquered by Islam through war.

By the 8th century, Islamic armies had crossed the Pyrenees and were marching into France. In 732 AD, at the Battle of Tours, the Christian general Charles Martel defeated the Umayyad Caliphate and stopped the Islamic advance into Europe. If Martel had failed, France may have fallen, and Islam would have overtaken the continent. This was not a distant “conflict of cultures” - it was an existential threat to Europe itself.

Meanwhile, Islamic navies harassed the Mediterranean, raiding Christian coastal towns, seizing ships, and enslaving thousands. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, Christian lands in Sicily, southern Italy, and even parts of France and Switzerland were under near-constant attack. These weren’t isolated events. They were part of an enduring, religiously sanctioned Jihad.

In the east, the Caliphate pressed into Armenia and the Caucasus. In 846, Muslim raiders attacked Rome itself, looting the Basilica of Saint Peter and desecrating Christian relics. A Christian response came far too late. By the time the First Crusade was launched in 1095, Islam had already spent nearly 500 years conquering Christian land and subjugating Christian peoples.

This is what the Crusades were responding to - not unprovoked aggression, but five centuries of invasion. The First Crusade wasn’t colonialism. It was counter-offensive.

This history matters. When people today mock the Crusades or accuse the West of imperialism, they ignore the truth: the Islamic world was the aggressor for half a millennium before the West ever fought back. And in many ways, the Jihad hasn’t stopped.

The Crusades: The Truth About the Christian Response

The modern world paints the Crusades as a shameful scar in Christian history - wars of greed, colonialism, and blind religious violence. But this narrative is a distortion crafted by revisionist historians and anti-Christian sentiment. In truth, the Crusades were a belated and desperate defence against centuries of Islamic aggression.

When Pope Urban II called for the First Crusade in 1095, the Christian world had already suffered five hundred years of Islamic jihad. Lands that were once bastions of early Christianity - including Syria, Egypt, North Africa, and even Spain - had been conquered, subjugated, and in many cases forcefully converted to Islam. Constantinople had barely survived repeated Islamic sieges, and Muslim pirates routinely raided Christian coasts, enslaving men, women, and children.

The First Crusade wasn’t about conquest. It was about defending pilgrims, reclaiming Christian holy sites, and protecting Eastern Christians from persecution. And it was deeply spiritual: those who joined the Crusade took vows, wore the cross, and sought forgiveness for their sins. These were not mercenaries but penitents willing to die for Christendom.

Yes, sins were committed - as in any war - but to reduce the Crusades to a caricature of Western aggression is not only dishonest, it’s dangerous. It conceals the real cause: Islamic invasion and occupation. Egypt, Syria, and the Holy Land were Christian first - long before Islam was born. The Crusades were not colonialism; they were Christian resistance.

Today’s woke media loves to condemn the Crusades while ignoring what provoked them. But the reality is this: the Crusaders stood up when others had bowed. They fought not for gold, but for God, honour, and the defence of their people.

The Islamic Slave Trade: The Forgotten Atrocity

Most people today have heard of the transatlantic slave trade - and rightly condemn it. But few know that Islam’s involvement in slavery was older, broader, and in many ways more brutal. The Islamic slave trade predates the transatlantic trade by nearly a thousand years and lasted longer than any other in history. For over 1,300 years, the Islamic world engaged in a vast and continuous slave network that stretched across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and deep into Europe. From the 7th century onward, Arab Muslims built the world’s largest and longest-lasting slave system, trafficking Africans, Slavs, Persians, Greeks, Armenians, and countless others - not incidentally, but as an integral part of Islamic conquest and law. The Qur’an permits the enslavement of non-Muslims captured in war, and Muhammad - hailed as the perfect man in Islamic teaching - personally owned, bought, and sold slaves, including concubines and black slaves.

This was not just racial but religious. Slavery under Islam was embedded into the imperial machinery of jihad. The Ottoman Empire institutionalized it through practices like the devshirme system, where Christian boys from the Balkans were kidnapped, forcibly converted to Islam, and turned into janissaries - elite shock troops ordered to kill their own people. Castration was routinely inflicted on African males to prevent rebellion and reproduction, which is why there is no black Muslim legacy in the Middle East comparable to the African-American legacy in the West. The term abd, meaning “slave,” is still used in Arabic dialects to refer to black people - a chilling reminder of this embedded racial hierarchy.

According to historians like Ronald Segal (author of Islam’s Black Slaves), over 14 million black Africans were captured and sold into Islamic slavery. These numbers are conservative. Most never made it to market - perishing from desert marches, disease, or brutality en route. Islamic slavery emphasized sex slavery and eunuch labour far more than agricultural work. It was not designed for generational reproduction, but exploitation and disposal.

And it wasn’t just Africans. Over 1 to 1.25 million white Europeans were captured in Muslim slave raids from the 16th to 19th centuries, particularly by Barbary pirates. Coastal towns from Italy to Ireland were emptied - men shackled to galleys, women sold into harems, children forced to convert or vanish into bondage. Even Iceland was raided. Historian Robert Davis estimates that at least 1.25 million Europeans were taken - yet this is rarely mentioned in schools or media, because it doesn’t fit the preferred narrative of white oppressors and non-white victims.

While Western Europe, guided by Christian conscience, abolished slavery and declared it a moral evil - fighting wars and transforming its civilization to end the practice - the Islamic world never experienced such a reckoning. There was no abolitionist movement rooted in Islamic theology. Slavery was sanctioned by its sacred texts, justified by its prophet’s example, and practiced into the modern era. It was only external Western pressure that forced its retreat - and in some places, it never ended.

Even today, slavery continues in parts of the Islamic world. In Mauritania, it is still practiced openly. In Libya, following the collapse of Gaddafi’s regime, slave markets have returned in broad daylight. ISIS, invoking direct citations from Islamic texts, revived slave markets in Iraq and Syria, selling Yazidi and Christian girls as war booty. Yet the Western press - obsessed with Western guilt - remains largely silent.

We are taught to associate slavery exclusively with white guilt. Hollywood, universities, and schoolbooks obsess over the Atlantic trade while ignoring the Islamic one. But the truth is that Islam built the most extensive, ideologically justified, and longest-lasting slave system in human history. It spread through war, slavery, and forced conversions - not tolerance. To restore historical truth and defend our civilization, we must have the courage to say what others won’t: that Islam was not merely a victim of colonialism, but a perpetrator of centuries-long brutality. The truth is buried - because truth is now subordinated to agenda.

Submission Is Not Liberation

Here lies one of the most bitter ironies in all of modern religious identity. The word Islam (الإسلام) comes from the Arabic root s-l-m (س-ل-م), which means “to submit,” “to surrender,” or “to yield.” It is not a name rooted in love, freedom, or redemption - it is a command. The very name of the religion demands that you submit. Not just to a god in a spiritual sense, but to a total system of law, politics, warfare, and domination. The Qur’an is filled with commands to fight unbelievers “until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued” (Surah 9:29). This is not a religion of relationship - it is a religion of rule.

Now imagine you are a black man or woman in the 21st century. Your African ancestors may very well have been Christians - early Ethiopian and Nubian churches were among the first in the world. And yet, for centuries, your people were hunted by Arab slave traders, castrated, marched across deserts, and sold into bondage in Islamic cities - from Cairo to Baghdad. Your women were taken as concubines. Your men were turned into eunuchs. And today, you kneel before the very god in whose name this was done to you?

That is not empowerment. That is spiritual colonization.

And no, this isn’t just about being black. Whether you are white, brown, Asian, Latino - it doesn’t matter. Ask yourself this: did your ancestors welcome Islam when it first came to their lands? Or did they resist it? Did your people initially submit - or did they fight to stay free? Whether you’re from Spain, Armenia, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Ethiopia, India, or elsewhere - look honestly at your nation’s history with Islam. If your people resisted it for centuries, ask why. It’s because they understood what submission meant.

You are not just converting to a set of beliefs. You are surrendering to a system that once waged war on your people. You are calling “Allah” the name of a deity who, according to his own scriptures, blessed the taking of slaves (Surah 4:24), the subjugation of Christians and Jews (Surah 9:29), and the conquest of the world through jihad (Surah 8:39). And unlike Christianity - where the Son of God lays down His life for the world - Islam’s founder took lives, owned slaves, and spread faith through force.

This is not liberation. This is a return to chains.

Before you put your forehead to the ground, ask yourself: who are you bowing to and why?

The Barbary Wars: America’s First War Was Against Islam

When Americans think of their nation’s early battles, most recall the Revolutionary War. But America’s first military conflict as a sovereign nation wasn’t with Britain, France, or Spain - it was with the Muslim Barbary States of North Africa: Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli.

These states operated as Islamic pirate kingdoms under the loose authority of the Ottoman Empire. Their primary economy was jihad piracy and slave raiding - seizing Western merchant ships, enslaving their crews, demanding ransom, and extracting tribute in exchange for peace. Their justification? Islam.

In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the ambassador of Tripoli, in London. They asked him by what right his nation attacked American ships that had never harmed them.

His response was recorded in Jefferson’s letter report to Congress:

“It was written in the Qur’an that all nations who should not have acknowledged the authority of the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave. Every Mussulman (Muslim) who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to Paradise.”

This is not hearsay. This is documented and was read into the records of the early American Congress. In 1801, when the Pasha of Tripoli demanded a larger tribute and Jefferson refused, the Barbary pirates declared war. Jefferson responded by deploying the newly formed United States Marines and Navy - leading to the First Barbary War (1801–1805).

It was this war that gave birth to the Marine Hymn’s iconic line:

“From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.”

Yes - Tripoli, in Libya, North Africa - the site of America’s first foreign war, and it was against Islamic jihadists.

The war wasn’t about money. It was about principle. America, then a tiny, young republic, refused to pay Islamic tribute. It stood up to jihad. Jefferson refused to bow. This war is a deeply Christian moment in American history, though modern textbooks dare not name it that.

So much for America or the West being the aggressors in the modern age? They started 300 years ago, most Muslims aren’t taught this history, and instead grow up blaming the West for the destruction in their countries. But it was fine back then for Islamic powers to attack, enslave, and demand tribute from Christian nations. Now that the tables have turned, we’re called the villains? Instead of blaming the West, they should start blaming their own leaders - for starting what they now cry foul about.

P.S. Try bringing this up to a Muslim while they are arguing their point of how evil the West is - and watch how quickly their victim mentality disappears. Haha!

Columbus: The Cross, Not the Crown

We’ve been lied to about Christopher Columbus. In modern classrooms, he’s framed as a greedy colonizer driven by gold and conquest - or worse, as a genocidal villain. But what’s deliberately forgotten - or buried - is the profoundly Christian nature of his mission.

Columbus set sail in 1492, the exact same year that Spain completed the Reconquista - the 700-year Christian war to reclaim Iberia from Islamic occupation. That very year, Granada fell, and Spain was once again Christian.

Columbus wasn’t acting in a vacuum of power politics. He was living in a Europe that had endured centuries of jihad, including the fall of Constantinople (1453). The Ottomans threatened the entire continent. Islam had overrun the Holy Land. Spain had just bled to reclaim its own land.

So why did Columbus sail west?

Because the land route to Asia was blocked by Muslim powers. The Islamic conquest of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East made the traditional pilgrimage and trade routes dangerous and impossible. Columbus believed that by sailing west, he could reach Asia and help fund a new Crusade to retake Jerusalem. He writes about this openly in his journals. He desired to fund the liberation of the Holy Sepulchre.

Even the Spanish monarchs who funded him, Ferdinand and Isabella, were deeply devout Catholics. Their support wasn’t just political - it was spiritual. They saw the New World as a way to spread Christianity, not just claim land.

Columbus sailed under the banner of Christendom. His ships bore crosses. His diary speaks of spreading the Gospel. His very first act upon landing was to plant a cross in the sand and dedicate the land to Jesus Christ.

Was every result of colonization good? No. But the truth must be told: Columbus was not motivated by race or greed - he was motivated by faith.

The attempt to strip his mission of its Catholic essence is revisionist history, crafted by those who hate both Europe and Christianity.

Why Columbus Day Still Matters

Columbus Day is not just a holiday - it’s a stand for truth, memory, and civilization.

In recent years, it has become fashionable to demonize Christopher Columbus, replacing him with abstract “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” ceremonies, erasing his Christian mission and European identity altogether. But this isn’t about honouring Native peoples - it’s about erasing the legacy of Christendom and the West.

America must continue celebrating Columbus Day because:

1. Columbus represents the Christian identity of the West. His voyage was driven by faith, not by greed. His journals speak of spreading the Gospel, not exterminating tribes. He believed God called him to bring the light of Christ across the ocean.

1. The New World was not discovered for conquest alone - it was discovered to open new paths for Christian civilization. To erase Columbus is to erase the very foundation of Europe’s global mission.

1. Columbus was a product of the Reconquista, a moment of Western defiance against centuries of Islamic occupation. His voyage is part of that same historical chain - a defence and expansion of Christian lands.

1. Modern attacks on Columbus Day are not about justice - they’re about cultural suicide. Those pushing for its removal hate the West, hate Christianity, and want to uproot the very soil America was planted in.

1. Without Columbus, there is no America. Without America, there is no counterweight to global tyranny. There is no refuge for religious liberty. There is no torchbearer for Western values.

Honouring Columbus is not about ignoring past sins. It’s about defending truth over lies, faith over nihilism, and heritage over erasure.

To cancel Columbus Day is to surrender to the enemies of the West - the same enemies who, centuries ago, sought to conquer it by the sword.

Watered-Down Islam vs Real Islam - Why ‘Nice’ Muslims Are Not the Point

A common objection to any critique of Islam is this: “But my Muslim neighbour is kind, generous, and peaceful.” And this may very well be true. Millions of Muslims across the West are hardworking, polite, and integrated into society. They raise families, obey the law, and desire peace. But here’s the truth - that’s not the issue.

The problem lies not with individual Muslims, but with Islam itself - particularly as taught by its original sources and practised by its founder. A religion must be judged not only by its most peaceful adherents, but by its theological foundations and historical track record. And this is where the distinction must be made clear: there is a vast difference between cultural, diluted, or secularised Islam and the real Islam of the Qur’an, Hadith, and the example of Muhammad.

Islam is not a passive belief system. It is a totalising socio-political framework. The Qur’an is not just a spiritual text - it is a legal code. Sharia is not a private conscience - it is a system of law that demands implementation. And when these things are taken seriously, the result is not tolerance and coexistence, but supremacy and submission.

This is why it only took fifteen men - devout, literalist Muslims - to bring the entire Western world to its knees on September 11, 2001. Fifteen. That is all it took to wake America up - and sadly, only for a moment. The vast majority of Muslims had nothing to do with it. But that’s precisely the point: it only takes a handful of true believers to change the course of history.

ISIS was not a fringe cult. It was a return to fundamentals. Slavery, beheadings, jizya, conquest, martyrdom - all of it can be justified by Islam’s sacred texts and traditions. Osama bin Laden did not invent a new religion; he revived its old, inconvenient parts. And for every Muslim who rejects such violence, they do so in spite of Muhammad’s example, not because of it.

The question is not whether “nice Muslims” exist - of course they do. The question is: What happens when the devout ones take power? What happens when the radicals - who study the texts more seriously than the moderates - decide it’s time to follow through?

That is why the West cannot afford to be lulled to sleep by surface-level niceties. Europe, America, and every Christian land must ask: not what do my neighbours believe, but what does the religion demand? And once we understand that, we must decide if we are willing to defend the civilisation we have inherited - or surrender it to a creed that has never been compatible with liberty, Christianity, or peace.

Why the West Must Reawaken - Strength, Faith, and the Will to Defend Ourselves

Our problem today is not merely immigration, not merely terrorism, not even merely Islam. Our greatest problem is this: we have lost the will to live. The West - once a lion, now a gelded housecat - has forgotten what it is. We no longer believe in ourselves, our history, our faith, or our future. We have traded churches for shopping malls, fathers for influencers, and truth for tolerance. We are tired, weak, soft - and the world can smell it.

Meanwhile, Islam remains what it has always been: clear, confident, militant, and expanding. And it is not Islam’s fault that we are too cowardly to resist it. It is ours.

For centuries, Europe stood because it believed in something. Not vague values. Not shallow slogans. It believed in Christ. It believed in kings. It believed in the Cross and sword. In families and discipline. In beauty and honour. And when that belief was threatened - whether by Ottoman invasion, Muslim pirates, or caliphs at the gates - Europe fought back, bled, and survived.

Today, we are told that masculinity is toxic, Christianity is oppressive, and nationalism is dangerous. But that’s exactly what our ancestors were - masculine, Christian, and willing to die for their nation. And that is why they are remembered, and we are forgotten.

But it is not too late.

The West can rise again. But it will not rise through comfort, compromise, or cowardice. It will rise through the revival of faith - a faith in God, in family, in order, in hierarchy, in truth. It will rise through the return of strength - physical, spiritual, intellectual, and moral. It will rise when men lead again. When fathers protect their homes. When churches preach judgment. When citizens say “no” to the lie that all cultures are equal.

This begins with you. Not with your government. Not with some political saviour. You.

Fix your household. Repent. Go to church. Read the Scriptures. Train your body. Take a wife or a husband. Have children. Build a legacy. Speak truth - even when it costs you everything. Because yes, it might. You may lose friends. Opportunities. Reputation. Maybe even your life.

But you will gain Heaven.

That is the final solution: not just defending the West for its own sake - but for the sake of Christ, the Gospel, and generations yet unborn. Our ancestors fought with sword and rosary. So must we. And if we do not, the blood of our civilisation will be on our hands.

Now is the time to choose: cowardice or courage. Christ or chaos. Strength or surrender.

As for me - I choose to fight.

Glory to God.
