The Christian world is under siege. The enemies of Christendom—Islamic jihadists, radical leftists, militant LGBT ideologues, and communist tyrants—are working tirelessly to dismantle everything that Western civilization was built upon. They seek to eradicate faith, morality, family, and freedom under the guise of "progress" and "tolerance." It is time for a revival of Christian militancy—a new order of modern Crusaders—to defend the free Christian world before it is too late.
The Historical Precedent: The Crusaders and the Defense of Christendom
The Crusades were not wars of aggression but wars of defense. Contrary to the revisionist history pushed by leftist academics, the Crusades were a necessary and justified response to centuries of Islamic expansionism that saw Christian lands from North Africa to Spain to the Holy Land fall under Muslim rule through jihadist conquest. When Pope Urban II called for the First Crusade in 1095, he was responding to the desperate pleas of Byzantine Christians under siege by the Seljuk Turks and seeking to reclaim Jerusalem, the city of Christ’s passion and resurrection.
The Crusaders, though not perfect, were warriors of God who understood that Christianity does not mean passive submission to evil. They fought for Christendom against an enemy that sought to extinguish it. Their legacy should not be one of shame but of inspiration. Today, we face a similar challenge. The Islamic Caliphate, though temporarily weakened, remains an ideological threat. Radical Islamists seek to impose Sharia law, subjugate Christians, and destroy Western values. The modern Christian world needs warriors once more.
The Islamic Caliphate and the Threat to Christian Civilization
Islamic imperialism never truly died. Whether through ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, or Iran’s radical Shiite regime, the global jihadist movement has been waging war against Christians for centuries. Churches are burned, priests are executed, and Christian girls are kidnapped and forced into Islamic marriages. In places like Nigeria, Pakistan, and the Middle East, Christian communities are massacred with little attention from the mainstream media.
Europe is experiencing a slow-motion invasion. Through mass migration and demographic replacement, radical Islamists seek to turn once-Christian nations into strongholds of Sharia. France, Sweden, and Germany have become battlegrounds where Islamic no-go zones flourish, and Christian heritage is erased. The West cannot afford to be complacent. If we do not stand up, our children will live under the rule of an Islamic caliphate where Christians are dhimmis—second-class citizens under Muslim law.
The Return of Sodom and Gomorrah: The LGBT and Woke Agenda
As if the jihadist threat were not enough, we are also witnessing the rise of neo-pagan degeneracy in the West. The militant LGBT movement, fueled by Marxist ideology, seeks to destroy the traditional family and push an agenda of sexual perversion on children. Drag queens in churches, transgender indoctrination in schools, and the normalization of pedophilia all reflect the moral decay reminiscent of Sodom and Gomorrah. And we all know what happened to those cities—God’s judgment rained down fire and brimstone upon them (Genesis 19:24-25).
The modern "woke" left preaches tolerance while aggressively silencing Christians who stand for biblical truth. They push laws criminalizing opposition to LGBT ideology, forcing churches to accept sin in the name of "inclusivity." But as Christians, we must never bow to this new Baal. Like the Maccabees who resisted Hellenistic corruption, we must resist the sodomite agenda that seeks to corrupt and enslave our children.
Communist Tyranny: The Enemy of God and Freedom
Communism has always been anti-Christian. Karl Marx himself declared that “religion is the opium of the people,” and every communist regime—from Lenin’s Soviet Union to Mao’s China—has sought to eradicate Christianity. Today, the leftist globalists, inspired by Marxist ideals, are using government power to suppress Christian voices. Whether through social media censorship, church closures under the guise of "health mandates," or IRS targeting of conservative Christian organizations, we are witnessing a coordinated attack on religious liberty.
The Democratic Party, allied with radical Islam and the LGBT movement, has become the new Soviet Union. Their weapon is lawfare: they imprison Christian business owners who refuse to violate their faith, they indoctrinate children in communist ideology, and they use the FBI to target conservative Christians as “domestic extremists.” But the truth is, the real extremists are the ones trying to tear down Western civilization.
The Call for Christian Warriors
We must embrace the warrior spirit of our ancestors. Whether it was Charles Martel halting the Islamic advance at the Battle of Tours, the Templars defending Christian lands, or the Spanish Reconquista reclaiming Spain from Muslim rule, Christian warriors have always risen when civilization was under threat.
Today’s battlefields may be different, but the war is the same. We need modern Crusaders who are willing to fight in whatever capacity they can—whether politically, culturally, or, if necessary, militarily. We must build strong Christian communities, train our young men in self-defense, and prepare for the day when we may have to physically defend our faith, our families, and our freedom.
The left will call us extremists. The globalists will label us terrorists. But they called the Crusaders the same. They called the Founding Fathers rebels. They called Jesus Christ a blasphemer. We do not seek violence, but we will not kneel to evil.
The time for complacency is over. The time for Christian resistance is now. The armies of darkness are on the march, but so too must be the warriors of God.
