Evil does not reform itself. Never has. Never will. It must be eradicated. And it will never be through negotiations and reconciliation. Whether America or the world have the stomach to eradicate the evil that is in plain sight remains to be seen. And part of America is in the midst of a revolution. But one that is much harder to see or for most even understand. It has been labeled fundamental transformation and it cannot be eradicated but rather must be recognized and then confronted through serious and prolonged education. We are transforming from within and our schools have sowed the seeds of our nonviolent revolution. The Iranians understand this ( and have benefited from it ) and why they are simply trying to buy time until the next round of transformation will occur as they know that once again they will be able to.move forward with their clearly expressed objectives. Time will tell what comes next.
"Evil does not reform itself": this is hard to see for people who are (partly) evil themselves because what other than evil can you name groups that wish for resurrection of the "Empire of Evil", the Soviet "Socialism" or who concubine with rapers and slaughterers of "Hamas" to "Free Palestine " ?
So-called "Liberalism" isn´t even able or willing to clearly separate itself from those murder hordes. "Liberalism" is a contradiction within itself, it "tolerates" even its fiercest fiends instead of setting unambiguous boundaries.
This is neither "liberal" nor freedom, but feardom. Islamists say "Thank You".
Of course, Britain, France, Belgium and other countries have to destroy "Islam Communities" terrorizing and occupating communities.
You cannot be "open on all sides". You either support Gays, Queers and sexual freedom, or not, and if not, you have to ban and criminalize the enemies of, those hostile to, freedom.
We cannot propagate "religious freedom" and then have "blasphemy laws" and defame those who, for good reason, reject and fight Islam in its dominant form as "phobic." We cannot demand absolute equality for women and then allow mandatory headscarves.
"Liberalism" is contentless.
Voltaire's drivel, "I may not agree with you, but I will do everything to ensure that you are allowed to express your opinion," is suicidal nonsense.
It is French chirpy chirpy that Trump is rightly amused by. It has to be swept away.
The Islamic revolution started 1,400 years ago not in 1979. If the West does not understand this then the demise of Western civilization is inevitable.
As for your assumption:
"The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iranian nuclear deal. The logic behind the agreement was straightforward and deeply rooted in Western political thinking: Diplomacy would moderate the regime, economic relief would create incentives for responsible conduct, and a government benefiting from global integration would have something to lose from confrontation."
I totally disagree with this assumption.
Under former president Barack Obama's 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, which at best would delay its ability to build nuclear weapons by only a few years, billions of dollars poured into Tehran while the regime steadily increased its power across the region and continued to ramp up its terrorist activities.
"The agreement [signed] in 2015 between the U.S., Europe, Russia, China and Iran is very similar to the Munich Agreement of 1938. Nazi Germany was a police state, and so is Iran. The Nazis' initial broader goal was to take control of their geographical region, and the greater goal of Iran is to expand into the Arab countries. Nazi Germany was an ideological rival of the Western democracies, and sought to dominate Europe, and Iran seeks to take over the Middle East and the Islamic world. And just as Britain and France sought to appease Nazi Germany, these same two countries, along with the U.S., have chosen to try and appease Iran…”

President Trump said yesterday that he will accept only unconditional surrender. What may help is the religious component of Islam. The coalition of Sunni neighbors led by the Saudis may see it as an opportunity to neutralize the Shia in Iran. Just a thought. I should not mind read President Trump.
Everybody who is capable of believing the idea already knew that whether the West wins or loses depends on whether it is willing to fight until the enemy is completely defeated.
Very insightful. Trump thinks he can work with a cleric, at least that’s what he is saying for now. If so, he doesn’t really understand the enemy we’re facing (no surprise there). What can be done to change his mindset along with the rest who don’t get the world view we’re up against? And what would it take to expunge this kind of Islamist ideology?
Extreme Messianic Judaism and Christianity has EXACTY the same problem. The ‘Holy Revolution after the Second Coming / Return of The Messiah’ is part of the active Eschatological beliefs of the religious in both Israel and America. Coupled with biblical literalism, which includes the patently False and debunked belief that the world is only 6000 years old, End time religion is just as dangerous and irrational, and would be used by The Nazis in The State to attack and destroy both Israel and Freedom in The West.
This is a false equivalence. At the level of abstract theology, you are correct that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all contain eschatological traditions. But the relevant question in politics is not whether such ideas exist in scripture. The question is whether they are institutionalized in states, embedded in law, and operationalized through military or political structures.
Neither Israel nor the United States is governed by messianic doctrine. Israel is a largely secular state whose core institutions — the government, the courts, and the IDF — operate on strategic and political considerations, not theological mandates. The IDF is a secular military with no religious mission. The same is true of the American military. Whatever fringe messianic beliefs may exist among individuals, they do not define the doctrine of the state. By contrast, the Islamic Republic of Iran is explicitly structured around revolutionary religious eschatology. The ideology of the regime is not peripheral to the state; it is the state. Institutions such as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps explicitly frame their mission within a theological narrative about preparing the conditions for the end times. This worldview is embedded in law, education, military doctrine, and foreign policy. Scale matters as well. Messianic extremism in Israel represents a tiny fringe, perhaps 1–2 percent of the population, roughly tens of thousands of people. In contrast, Islamist and jihadist movements mobilize tens of millions across multiple countries and operate within state structures in places like Iran. The empirical record reinforces the point. Since 9/11 alone, there have been tens of thousands of terrorist attacks in nearly 90 countries carried out in the name of jihadist ideology. There is no comparable global campaign of violence carried out in the name of Jewish or Christian messianism.
What you say here is Absolutely True, Mr Hyde. But if the Religious Fanatics in Judaism and Christianity ever took power in The State in The West, this would be a Catastrophe. This is what I speak of. Best wishes. What you say is true.
Why would this be a catastrophe? It seems to me that the atheist fanatics taking power in the West has been a catastrophe. For one thing, millions of babies have been murdered - apparently one-third of Generation Z never made it to birth, but were brutally murdered in the womb with the consent of their own mothers - how is that preferable to rule by people who believe we are accountable to a loving, holy and righteous God? Are there any laws that are better and more righteous than those given to us by God Himself in the Bible? No, the real catastrophe for us all is if we continue on this insane trajectory of rebellion against our Creator and refuse to allow Him to rule over us. Jesus Christ is indeed Lord, and one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that that is so, to the glory of God the Father.
Thank you. And you too. My problem with accepting Christ as Lord and Saviour is that I want to be wholly Jewish, and I am not going to leave my family behind. This is because of Loyalty to the memory of my Mum and Dad. So I am going to stay Jewish. Best wishes and much Love, Alison. Accepting Christ. Dan
I have been told by Jewish people who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Messiah that they did not become less Jewish, but rather fulfilled Jews. All those beautiful ceremonies and celebrations became more meaningful, because they pointed to Christ. I am grateful for the teaching and insights I have received from such people. But if you truly seek the Lord, as I'm sure you are doing, He will show you what He wants you to do. I don't think you could become less Jewish any more than I became less English when I received Christ as my Lord and Saviour. And I will always be grateful to the Jewish people for giving me my Saviour. Imagine! My Gentile ancestors were worshipping the most awful pagan gods in total spiritual darkness while yours inwere worshipping the true God. Truly it was said to Abraham, "In your Seed all the nations will be blessed." But I don't want you to miss out on the blessing that was meant for the Jews first.
Thank you. I have an interesting story to tell! As I have said before, I have had some very bad experiences with religious people in my life. But these are not now going to put me off. Best wishes, Alison. Thus, we move forward.
As have we all! But Jesus Christ Himself has never let me down, even though many Christians have done so. He is always faithful, and the only One we can truly trust.
It is not an entirely false and debunked belief that the world is only 6000 years old. It is backed up by observation and historical fact. What is false is the idea that the world is millions of years old and that there is no God Who created everything and is involved in the affairs of men - including this war.
Hi Alison! I knew I might get a response from you with my post… lovely to hear from you! I want to say that your concept of Repentance as central to faith is very valid, and I welcome your lovely and timely intervention to my understanding. We may well differ in our beliefs about what are scientific facts, but your heart is true, and I welcome you. Also, you said that I should look out for Signs given personally and privately from Him, and I now do so! For there are many. Lots of Love and many thanks! Yours, in Faith, Dan

Yes, let's not give up too soon - again - snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Why? Give us some reasons.
