“…everything began like a children’s game, a game played by children who will never have time to become adults.” — Marc Levy, from Children Of Freedom
One of my greatest fears today is that my children will never have time to become adults. As a teenager, my greatest fear was of having to go to war. I was raised next door to a Second World War veteran, and so I had heard discomfiting stories about soldiers’ sufferings, and also stories about the sufferings of civilians who were either the targets of tyrants or incidentally found themselves in the pathway of war. But as it turned out, thanks to the sacrifices of our brave soldiers, I had time to become an adult. All too many of today’s children are not so privileged.
The war we face today in North America, not as soldiers but as civilians, is a war brought to our very doorstep by the forces of the global jihad. Of course, there are conventional wars being fought abroad, wars that are like so many conflicts before them. But the war the Islamic jihadist is waging against the West is a terrorist’s niche because, typically, the terrorist loves “soft targets,” simply because soft targets require minimal planning. And soft targets are “terrorized” much easier than are military targets. Civilians doing their shopping, or riding a subway, or enjoying a day at the beach are not at all inured to the horrors of a terrorist strike as are, conversely, military personnel trained for the stress and brutality of combat. The naivete and ignorance of Western leaders today in insouciantly dismissing the raw evil of the Islamic jihadist is one of the greatest advantages enjoyed by the enemies of Western democracy.
The Islamic terrorist has Western civilians and their places of concourse at the top of his/her target list. They want to kill unarmed and therefore defenseless civilians. Hence I’m always puzzled whenever I read reports in newspapers referring to some unidentified “mastermind” who planned this or that terrorist attack on civilian targets. How much of a “mastermind” does it take to plan for a Muslim terrorist to drive a panel truck into a crowd on a balmy summer night in France? I’m also amused when I read of ISIS or other terrorist groups claiming responsibility for every lone wolf attack, as if their terrorist network were more extensive than it really is. I’m reminded here of the fact that Adolf Hitler’s party number was 555, although there were actually only 55 members when he joined: the Nazis had started numbering at 500 so as to make their movement appear more popular than it actually was.
The blind faith all too many have in the mainstream press – including its fictional and apologetic narrative, which in many instances inevitably aids and abets the jihadist cause and actually hinders the creation and advancement of any genuinely “moderate” Islam – has become a noetic impediment all over the Western world to understanding what we’re up against: authorities have failed again and again to notice, or to acknowledge, the vile vision the jihadists have for the future of a Western world that they believe will one day be theirs. Christopher Hitchens wrote, “Even as we worry what they may intend for our society, we can see very plainly what they have in store for their own: a bleak and sterile theocracy enforced by advanced techniques.” Today it is imperative for us to remind ourselves that what the jihadists intend for their own, they also intend for the citizens of all Western democracies, and are actively working for the end of those democracies.
I am appalled that my teenage children are today subjected to news reports of Jews being attacked in European cities by Muslim terrorists; of a Jewish rabbi being stabbed to death in a synagogue in Israel while praying (the target of a so-called Arab “Palestinian” promoting the cause of a “Palestinian state”); of an ISIS recruit shooting up a gay bar in Orlando, Florida; of a Canadian soldier being shot to death at a war memorial in Ottawa. I remember reading about the Achille Lauro hijacking of October 7, 1985 and thinking that those terrorists and that terrorist act were far away and therefore were of no concern to me. But now this jihadist horror is on our doorsteps. Now Canadians are beginning to experience, in extremely small samples, the terrorism Israeli Jews have been experiencing in much greater measure for decades. What did old Job say? “That which I greatly feared has come upon me.”
Candice Malcolm writes in the Toronto Sun: “At least 180 individuals with a connection to Canada are fighting alongside terrorist organizations. That’s up from 130 known terrorists in 2015. But those individuals aren’t necessarily the problem for Canada right now. A far greater security concern are the jihadists who are here in Canada.” She goes on to point out that “there are 60 known returned foreign fighters in Canada,” according to a federal government report.
How will our children ever find the opportunity to become adults, living in times such as these? Even as the proverbial “clash of cultures” is taking shape before their very eyes, even as they pass into adulthood, they are indoctrinated with the childish fantasy that this is just a game, that the talking heads of CBC are to be believed, that Islam really is a religion of peace and, according to Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada, most terrorists just want to have fun.

“The naivete and ignorance of Western leaders…”
I think even naive to assume this is because our leaders just ignorant and not because they knowingly sacrificing their own population to create the New World Order, which is a neo-feudal form, super rich at the top and everybody else in the bottom policed by the supremacist Muslim ideology.
Buford says
Obama & the other PC politicians will say anything to sugarcoat the truth this bum was a full
card carrying Islamist Terrorist not a lone wolf, not just somebody with mental disorders, & this is the reason there has to be more scrutiny about who is allowed to enter the US. Call it racial profiling or what ever But Islam is a demonic cult that has 1 objective World Domination using the Quran & Sharia Law to rule.

Your children might surprise you.
The teens and twenty-somethings of today are the Harry Potter generation. They grew up with a powerfully-engaging fictional/ fantasy story of a boy who encountered Evil as a baby and then, at eleven, finds that he is *the* front-line warrior in a war of life and death; the battles in that war, growing ever more high-stakes, drawing in more and more people, take place between his eleventh and his seventeenth year. *Harry* and his friends have to fight while they are essentially still *children* (as our current law accounts it).
Psychologically, right across the western world, millions of young people have been … prepared.
All they need is to wake up and see where the *real* battle lines lie.
All it will take is a slight paradigm shift, an awakening, a realization that the Ummah is… the real life and mortally menacing equivalent of the fictional Voldemort with his Death Eaters, and that it is *they* – the children and youth of this generation, many of them not long out of childhood – who are being called upon to be The Order of the Phoenix, fighting for Eros over against Thanatos. Once they figure it out, they will answer the call.
One of my children was born in 1998. When her Year 7 class graduated from primary school, they had a graduation dinner. At that dinner one of the things that happened was that every child’s vision of what they would do in later life was shared. A significant number of my daughter’s classmates envisaged themselves as headed for some branch or another of the Australian Army.

Good to hear, DDA 🙂

I seriously doubt Harry Potter is influencing children that much. I joined the military when I was 18, way back in 1982. It wasn’t because I watched too much underdog, or popeye. It was because there were no decent jobs available, and I could not attend college for lack of funds. The skills I learned paid off very well later in life. Think Lockheed, General Dynamics, and the Boeing co.
Of course there are those that think the smurf’s are satanic, and the teletubbies are gay. I guess you could lump Potter books and movies into the fray of nonsense.

This above article along with the clothing those young boys are wearing is a strong reminder of the awful places that many Muslim boys are sent to what is so inappropriately called “Muslim summer camps.” Which in reality those places are Islamic mind programming centers. In such “camps ” young and impressionable Muslim male children are thoroughly indoctrinated into the brainwashed Koranic mindset of hard core jihad militant violent worldview. This is child abuse too the extreme. This Islamic manipulation of those children to be raised ad stooges for Islam’s violent and deadly jihad is totally despicable . Likewise this militant jihad mind programming of those children in also a heinous exploitation of youth who are so very young that they can’t yet really think for themselves.is completely unconscionable. This is also demonic, wrong and evil. Shame on those adult Muslims for being so wicked as to brainwash those children in the being tools the the militant jihad of Islam. One reason why those adult Muslims are so ruthlessly hideous as to mind program all those youth the violent and deadly jihad ways of Islam is explained in the Bible . For the Bible teaches that there are some men who are so very callous ,cruel, heartless and unfeeling because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. {K.J.V.] The “hot iron’ in this case is Islam.

Where are the Christians? Have they fled the cross. Western Christians have millions upon millions of dollars and millions of people that could help children. They are keeping the little children for Jesus because they are moral cowards, selfish and apathetic. They shame their Lord.

Westerners–especially Western Christians–are the most charitable people in the world.
Why are you here bashing Christians? The threat we face is from Islam.
Aussirick says
I too, often wonder about the so called ” Christians ” however NOT the ordinary people who like you and I are appalled at the disgusting acts of barbarity carried out in the name of islam. My questions are for the leaders of our religions, who still talk of the ” religion of peace and love ” and refuse to allow any questioning of their blatantly lying statements regarding the subject, even going as far as saying that to disagree with their false statements is going directly against church edicts. Prime proof of this point being the Pope, who in his wisdom, tells us all about the religion of peace, and that islam and moslems are only seeking peace between us all, and yet ignores the fact that islam and moslems say he is their NUMBER ONE ENEMY. So many good Christian people WOULD fight against this black mark on humanity, islam, if only the worlds church leaders would show some sort of leadership in this fight we cannot afford to lose.

” … actually hinders the creation and advancement of any genuinely “moderate” Islam … ”
I’d be interested to know, Mr. Devolin, how you think any ‘genuinely moderate islam’ could be either created or advanced, given that all muslims believe the koran to be the immutable word of ‘allah’, so that to change any of it, or disregard any of it would be blasphemy, punishable by death, and that the vicious mohammed is the ‘perfect man’ , whose example must be followed ?
gravenimage says
Yes–this “moderate” Islam does not exist. And while the whitewash and dhimmitude of the Western media *is* harmful, it is not because they are hindering some mythical moderate Islam from blossoming forth.
John Boston says
I third this motion. Gravenimage and Mirren10, you are so right. For Muslims to become “moderate”- that is, civilized- they would have to deny large portions of the Qur’an, the hadith, and the sira. They would have to deny the entirety of Sharia. This would make them not only blasphemers, but actual apostates: the worst of people in the eyes of Islam. I predict that there will never be any reformation in Islam, at least until it is defeated militarily, on a global scale.

I just wish we could get all non-Muslims to understand this.

This research says that for about 5 centuries the Ottoman Turks have stolen about 5 (five) million Christian children mainly from Balkan Christian territories:

What about the Arab stealing, from the Middle East, North Africa, Mediterranean, South Europe, Southwestern & Central Asia, Caucasus…
At least 10-15 millions for 1400 years.
Asian says
The 80 million deaths that Islam caused, directly and indirectly, will most assuredly NOT be forgotten.
solange silverman says
Western leaders are not “naive and ignorant,” nor are they “in denial.” They are complicit in this. This is a deliberate attempt at a NWO, using Islam to do it. What better way than by establishing a caliphate to take control of the masses? The globalists struck a deal. The sooner we face these facts head on, the sooner we can fix things.
solange silverman says
The children are the first victims of Islam. Islam is child abuse, creating entire cultures of people who are mentally ill.
