| Barack Obama and John Kerry |
Why is President Barack Obama so reluctant to confront Islamic terrorism? Because of his worldview.
That may sound like an oversimplified explanation, but it isn't. Barack Obama is a Marxist who views religion disparagingly through the eyes of a secularist.
A secularist views religion as an outmoded belief system that's embraced by ignorant, backward people. To secularists such as Obama, religion functions little beyond a cultural institution practiced on Saturdays and Sundays by folks in deference to their ethnic customs and traditions.
And so, according to secularists, religion is destined to become extinct because younger, more "educated" people are going to put their faith in science rather than in an imaginary God and his mythical laws.
As such, secularists believe that those who stubbornly continue to believe in the existence of God and take the Bible or the Quran literally are dangerous because they are ignorant and anti-science.
Remember then Sen. Obama's famous quip he uttered in 2007 during a presidential campaign stop in San Franciso? He derided fundamental Christians as ignorant buffoons who cling to their guns and religion during difficult times.
That wasn't a slip of the tongue--that was one of the few times when Obama actually told the truth. And when he uttered those famous words, he spoke for the majority of secular humanists rather than just a few.
Thus, when Obama and his fellow secularists look at terror groups such as Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah etc., they see the same ignorant buffoons who are anti-science and believe in fairy tales.
They view Islamists the same way they view fundamental Christians. They don't understand that the Islamic world has a vastly different worldview than the west where faith and religion have lost their influence and have become hackneyed, trite, mundane and irrelevant.
And they don't understand that much of the eastern world equates the west's moral bankruptcy with its abdication of God and faith. And many in the Islamic world want to drive the west--and particularly America that is viewed as the face of the west--out of their world.
They don't want abortion, promiscuity, secularism, gay marriage, radical feminism etc. They don't want violent street gangs marauding around robbing and terrorizing innocent people. And they don't want Hollywood film producers and record company executives indoctrinating young children into the gore and sexual depravity that have become so prevalent in the western world.
That's why the Islamic world has declared war on the west. Islamists not only want to drive the west and its influence out of the east, but they believe that they must conquer the west--by force and violence if necessary--in order to eradicate the west's rotten, secular influence.
I'm not promoting Islam. I've written at length on the falsity of that religion, so I won't elaborate on it here.
But Islamists are much more dedicated and loyal to their faith than Christians are to theirs. And therein lies the real problem. Had the Christian church not stopped contending for the faith (Jude 1:3) many years ago, Christianity wouldn't have lost its influence throughout the world.
The Christian church began to lose its influence in the eastern world centuries ago. And now it's lost its influence in the western world. The results of that are logical and depressing.
Unfortunately, secularists such as Barack Obama and his clueless Secretary of State John Kerry don't understand that. And they probably never will. They are convinced that Islamic terror groups amount to a few radicals and whack jobs who merely take their religion too seriously--just like those fundamental Christians.
And that's why they choose to deal with these groups as they deal with street gangs--as a law enforcement issue rather than as an existential threat to freedom and liberty.
Obama, Kerry and their arch-ignorant minions have placed the western world in grave danger of another 9/11 catastrophe. The question now isn't whether it's going to happen again, but when? Because it's inevitable.
When you choose bad leaders who have the wrong worldview, this is what you get. And when the Christian church fails to contend for the faith by keeping it relevant to the world, this is what you get.
Let's all pray that the Lord Jesus Christ protects us and keeps us safe from evil. That's all we can do.
