Crushing the Crusaders - Ed Hurst - 03-03-2018
It's altogether natural that we should be less hostile to Muslims than the average Western Christian. This is a part of what puts us mostly outside of mainstream organized religion, American evangelical religion in particular. If you've spent much time in Europe, maybe you got a feel for the way some elements of Western Christian thinking have become institutionalized in the popular culture. In their minds, to be Western is to be Christian.
Oddly enough, a lot of Muslims agree with that assessment. Aside from indigenous Near Eastern Churches, most Muslims tend to think of Europe instinctively as part of the meaning of the term "Christian" in their own languages. I suppose it's no secret that a significant number of Muslim leaders have encouraged the idea of Muslim immigration to Europe as the path to conquering the infidels, and that it would go a long way toward removing what they consider the insult to Islam that Christians are so militarily dangerous. Those leaders say that, since military conquest is obviously not possible, they should send refugees to breed Christians out of existence.
I don't take that as a joke. I'm not worried about the loss of so much fake Christian religion, but I can say with prophetic gravity that if Europeans -- such as they are -- do not crush the Muslim invaders in some sense, Europe will change so radically in the next few years that we won't recognize it. Thus, Russia and Eastern European Christianity will become the new symbol of "Christianity," because they will most certainly fight such an invasion. They already fight it now, and are quite ready to escalate.
Some portions of America would join that fight, but certainly not all. The parts that won't have already surrendered culturally to a different problem entirely. Muslims aren't much of an issue here; the big problem is globalism, the new face of communism. We aren't going to see a communist revolution the way Europeans have experienced it (much less the way Asians have). It's a whole new brand of red revolution, seeking to crush the Western Crusader Christianity through mainstream secularist subversion. Only now are we starting to hear about violent revolution, and even that will be different from what manifested in the past.
This is part of what will split the US into smaller parts. The fracture in our country is irreparable, and in due time it will split wide open. It's all part of a broader vision of tribulation that Western Christianity will take a major hit over the next few years. Naturally this will reduce Israel's protection considerably.

The average Muslim would think Westernism = Christianity in the same way Near Eastern/LevantMaghreb culture is Muslim. Those countries have an official stamp, as it were, but to varying degrees people adhere to the norms. It's hardly as monolithic as it we receive it in Westernized media, but national and tribal names are sticky. Radix Fidem-types, broadly, will get lumped into Western Christianity-types. That's just the nature of categorizing large swaths of people together. It's not necessarily wrong, but it's not the entire story.

The flaw of social science: Generalizations are a necessity. One professor told me the expectation is, "True but not accurate."
