Here<\/a>.  What's the big deal?  These things happen.  As compared to the number of traffic fatalities in Muslim lands over the last ten years the number of crucifixions is vanishingly small.  You are statistically illiterate if you are worried about being crucified as opposed to dying in a traffic accident.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am of course being sarcastic.  See here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

ISIS is no existential threat to us or our culture.  Thus spoke Obama. A man of his experience and insight should know, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

On this point  Robert Royal talks sense<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone acquainted with history knows that it\u2019s happened before. Once robust Roman and Christian North Africa, the birthplace of Clement of Alexandria and Origen, Sts. Cyprian and Augustine, Felicity and Perpetua, lacking a strong secular state after the fall of the Western Empire, disappeared under Muslim assault. Except for their moral and intellectual achievements, in today\u2019s North Africa those great figures might as well never have existed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Something similar is occurring all over the Middle East. It would be foolish to think it cannot also happen, in the longer run, in Europe or the Americas, especially given the West\u2019s demographic collapse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obama often says that ISIS isn\u2019t an \u201cexistential\u201d threat. By that, he may mean that terrorists and their armies are, for now, too small to conquer or destroy us. But there are many ways to be destroyed \u2013 and one of them is by undermining those very \u201cvalues\u201d the president thinks are \u201cright.\u201d Sometimes the undermining comes, unintentionally, from the very people who think they are defending them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
