In FrontPage today, I explain how at Christmas 2015, we are victims of the enemy we have welcomed in our home, while our leaders deny the problem.
Amel Shimoun Nona saw all this coming, and now it is upon us.
Amel Shimoun Nona is the Chaldean Catholic Archbishop of Mosul. When the Islamic State captured northern Iraq, it drove 30,000 Christians from the Nineveh plain where they had lived since not long after the time of Christ. In August 2014, Nona predicted that the same thing would happen to Christians in the West: “Our sufferings today,” he said, “are the prelude of those you, Europeans and Western Christians, will also suffer in the near future.” And now, as the few remaining Christians in the Middle East prepare to celebrate Christmas and hope that Muslims won’t murder them for doing so, that future is now.
Nona continued: “I lost my diocese. The physical setting of my apostolate has been occupied by Islamic radicals who want us converted or dead.” He explained that the West was making a grave error by assuming that Islam was a religion of peace that taught the equal dignity of all human beings:
Please, try to understand us. Your liberal and democratic principles are worth nothing here. You must consider again our reality in the Middle East, because you are welcoming in your countries an ever growing number of Muslims. Also you are in danger. You must take strong and courageous decisions, even at the cost of contradicting your principles. You think all men are equal, but that is not true: Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values. If you do not understand this soon enough, you will become the victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.
You will become victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home. Let’s see. In applying for a visa to enter the United States, Tashfeen Malik passed background checks from no fewer than five different U.S. government agencies. Her visa application was rushed through despite not having required documentation. Apparently U.S. officials looked upon her as the very definition of the “vetted moderate” whom Barack Obama wants so desperately not only to aid in Syria, but to bring to the United States in large numbers.
Tashfeen Malik would no doubt still be thought of as a valued and vetted moderate had she not helped her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, murder fourteen non-Muslims in the cause of Islam and jihad at a Christmas party in San Bernardino, California on December 2. You will become victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.
Several weeks before Tashfeen Malik revealed the value of Obama’s vetting process, Muslims murdered 130 people in Paris in the cause of Islam and jihad. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls revealed that some of the attackers had just come to Europe as refugees: “These individuals took advantage of the refugee crisis…of the chaos, perhaps, for some of them to slip in.” Of “the chaos, perhaps”? Perhaps. But that chaos was of European leaders’ own making, as they welcomed into Europe hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees with no provision whatsoever for the possibility that there might be Islamic jihadis among them – even as Saudi Arabia had refused to take any of the refugees because of that very possibility. You will become victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.
In the face of this, Barack Obama has excoriated those who would restrict the entry of Muslim migrants as religious bigots. Donald Trump has been reviled as a new Hitler for daring to suggest that there should be a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration until adequate vetting procedures can be devised. Even conservative commentators have in response called for a ban on “Islamists,” rather than Muslims, blithely ignoring the salient fact that there is no reliable way to distinguish the one from the other.
And so as Christmas 2015 comes and goes, and 2016 dawns, nothing is much more certain – given the wholesale self-imposed blindness and willful ignorance of our leaders and opinion-makers on both the Left and Right – than that we will become victims of the enemy we have welcomed in our home. To see exactly what form will that take in the coming years and decades, we need only look around the world during this Christmas season: Somalia, Brunei, and Tajikistan have banned Christmas celebrations as “un-Islamic,” and Indonesia plans to deploy 150,000 security personnel to make sure that Islamic jihadists don’t target Christians in jihad mass murder plots as they celebrate Christmas. We don’t hear very much about Christmas in Iraq this year: there are hardly any Christians left there to celebrate it.
But surely none of that can happen here, right? Someone will stop it. Someone will do something. Christmas celebrations banned in the U.S. to avoid offending Muslim sensibilities? Inconceivable! Christmas celebrations threatened with Muslim violence, not because they drew Muhammad or otherwise offended Muslim sensibilities, but simply for the fact of being Christian celebrations? It could never happen here! Christians driven out, or forcibly converted to Islam, or killed? That sort of thing only happens over there. Not in America. The refugees (refugees like the Paris jihadis), they will all be vetted moderates (just like Tashfeen Malik). Anyone who thinks anything could go wrong is a racist, bigoted Islamophobe.
Of course. Someone will do something, right? Someone, somewhere, sometime, will have the courage to brave the smears of “racism” and “bigotry” and “Islamophobia” that are certain to come his or her way, and put a stop to all of this before it gets of hand, right? Of course someone will. America is forever. America can’t be destroyed. You will become victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home? Nonsense. Don’t be racist. Don’t be xenophobic. Everything is going to be all right. Let’s just eradicate all this right-wing extremism, and everything will be fine, and we will all march together into a bright, beautiful multicultural future. Just like in Mosul. Just like in Somalia, and Tajikistan, and Brunei.

Merry Christmas!
Please watch as nearly half a million Syrian Christians celebrate Christmas in the streets of Damascus under the protection of the president Assad and his heroic Syrian Army. Imagine what would happen to these Christians if the American-backed barbaric islamic jihadists toppled president Assad’s government as America and their Saudi-Qatar-Turkey allies were expecting. Watch the video:

Awesome video Christian Blood ! Exactly ! Really makes one wonder what the motives of the Administration really are ? I suspect that the Leftist Lunatics in the Obama Administration are a little more Cunning and Conniving than the Naive and Ignorant Little Leftist Rich Boy Wonder : Whose Father led Canada down the same path as Sweden and France ! Merry Christmas ! And may God The BLESSED HOLY TRINITY Keep Us Safe AND FREE From islamc supremacism !

The title says Muslims joined to celebrate – celebrate WHAT?! Islam expressly, explicitly denies all the central tenets of Christianity!
Elaine says
Donald Trump is the only one who has the guts to do it. Merry Christmas to President Assad and Vladimir Putin. And bah! humbug! to our supreme leader in Hawaii.
abad says
Merry Christmas to all at JW – do not let those Muslims get you down.
Refuse to be a Victim of Islam.
Pharaohs Hound says
It’s because he is a Corporate KRAFT WORKED president a patsy that has to work with Congress nowt but The Neo Con congress of Baboons that are held in a vice like grip of the Robber Baron corporations that run American political policy including when and where to go to War . Thank goodness they RUN into a BRICK WALL with ASSAD
Shmooviyet says
He is saying, “if you don’t or won’t care about Christians elsewhere, think of what will happen in your countries when islam rules.” This is heartbreaking by itself.
It may sound trite, but a peaceful Christmas day is wished for the JW authors and commenters who share their knowledge with readers like myself, who’ve learned and want to continue hearing the truth.

Seconded. Totally.
Despite everything, merry Christmas to all Christmas-observing Jihadwatchers.
And may 2016 see a turning of the tide.
Bradamante says
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate Christmas — and also to all those who don’t, but who hope for a world in which it’s safe for anyone to choose to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, the Solstice, etc. without being persecuted by fanatics. And let’s not abandon hope. Every year more people wake up and begin to investigate Islam for themselves, rather than buy the media spin that assures us “Nothing to see here.” The defenses of Islam in the MSM are sounding more shrill and desperate all the time. Here’s hoping for a New Year of freedom.
dumbledoresarmy says
Same to you. After all, although here in Australia as I read and write this it is evening on 27 December, that merely means we are in the Third Day of Christmas, with nine of the traditional Twelve Days to go until Epiphany on 6 January (at which day many of our Eastern Christian brethren will *begin* their Christmas celebration).
Merry Christmas, indeed, to you and yours.
And I agree that we must not abandon hope. It is, of course, sometimes difficult, given the barrage of largely negative stories, but at all costs, people who post here should try to resist the temptation to wallow in negativity. Let’s all try to post constructively, with a view to ‘adding value’, and as positively as we can, always keeping in mind the persons new to this site and this subject who are or who will be reading over our shoulders as we type. We want people to be both educated and ‘fired up’, all ready to go out and look for *their* niche, their job to do (however small) within the growing Resistance.

Firstly, thanks to the willful ignorance of our Western leaders I feel the presence of a dark cloud above my head. Our leaders are mostly ass kissers who would do anything to keep good relations with the Muslim world.
Secondly, the last part of the article reminds me of Pamela Geller’s Father’s day article where she quotes her father as having said that nothing is permanent in this life, not even the United States of America.
Angemon says
Yup. “Someone will do something”, say the people who, at best, won’t do a thing or, at worst, will deride and shout down those who are trying to do something.
Westman says
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” – Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
Same plot, similar ideology, same results, or, will the West wake up?
Northern Virginiastan says
Merry Christmas to you and yours Robert/ Thank you for all the work that you do.
Actually, Muslims are already targeting Christmas. San Bernardino is a good example. Bridget Johnson’s article Syed Farook’s Workplace Wasn’t the Target of Violence – the Christmas Party Was, https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2015/12/3/syed-farooks-workplace-wasnt-the-target-of-violence-the-christmas-party-was, notes “And terrorist groups have a fondness for the holiday season.” and provides examples.

Merry Christmas All!!! Much love, Champ 🙂

First the Muslim crime rate will double, then triple, then quadruple. It will happen slowly and soon become the new normal.
Appeasement of the supremacists will lead them to believe violence will achieve victory, so they will become more and more violent.
Michael Copeland says
A Birmingham man has been refused permission by the council to play Christmas carols in the street for charity, as he had previously done for years.

“…You must take strong and courageous decisions, even at the cost of contradicting your principles…”
The principle of self defence is primary and therefore we compromise nothing by intentionally limiting the influx of Muslims into our countries.
hocus says
the only reason why the assad regime protects the christian population is because its a secular govt, they know that if they are gonna need supporters it will def come from nonmuslim citizens. SIMPLE AS THAT. but at the end of the day, what isis and isil are practicing is true islam. and these muslims in the video as well as the assad regime are just heretics of islam. SIMPLE AS THAT
