Apparently it is Ramadan. So eat some more bacon, preach the gospel, and expect the hate. Any criticism of the Religion of blood will lead to threats. The Orc posts are about those who threaten, and who will not repent.

How does an Orc act? You merely have to look at the news. He is illiterate. He is violent. He is intolerant. He would be welcomed in the communes that used to be universities. And he has zero tactical sense.

Avi Yemini, a former sharpshooter for the Israeli Defence Forces, posted a video to Facebook on Saturday where he took on the terrorist groups wreaking havoc on Christians in Egypt and the Philippines. He added that Ramadan is fast becoming “the month of Jihad”, according to the MailOnline.

In response, he was sent a Facebook message by a man from the Sydney suburb of Parramatta who said he was ready to meet Yemeni and fight him over his beliefs. See the exchange below:

“Do you think your [sic] a mad c***. Talking about Islam like that,” the message began.

“Let’s meet up and have a chat about Islam. U [sic] think your [sic] some tuff [sic] guy aye well [we] will see how tough you are.

“I promise u [sic] I’m gana [sic] see you round and when I do I’m gana [sic] make sure you drown in your own blood your [sic] Jewish scum”.

Yemini teaches the IDF martial art, Krav Maga, at his gym and has made a name for himself as a staunchly pro-Israel advocate. He told the Mail the message proved a point he has long making against the actions of radical Islamic terrorist.

“He’s clearly not too happy, but he’s kind of proved my point,” he said. “You can scream and shout that you’re part of a religion of peace, but in the same sentence you threaten you’re going to murder someone.

“For any religious man to sit behind a computer and think it’s okay to talk about murdering someone else, it’s mind boggling.”

Yemini said that he forwarded the threatening message to Victoria state police, but holds little hope for a resolution on the matter. This follows the response to a similar threatening phone call in March he passed that met with no response from authorities.

There is no salvation in Islam. None. There is no virtue in following the commands of that demonic false prophet. Instead, we should look at Christ, from whom we have the promise of salvation. In whom we can firmly anchor our souls, while the world rages around us. And in whom we can find some peace.

Hebrews 6:13-20

¹³When God made a promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, ¹⁴saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply you.” ¹⁵And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise. ¹⁶Human beings, of course, swear by someone greater than themselves, and an oath given as confirmation puts an end to all dispute. ¹⁷In the same way, when God desired to show even more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it by an oath, ¹⁸so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God would prove false, we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to seize the hope set before us. ¹⁹We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain, ²⁰where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

It is also the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, which usually is seen as running from yesterday (Memorial day) until school restarts in September. There people are reminded of those who sacrificed themselves for their brother man and their nation. Well and good. But, again, the Orcs are trying to remove anything that does not fit into the current moment. Such as statues of men of the past, some Confederate, some slave owners: as if we can wipe our history away.

We cannot. And every time we try to make a year zero bad things happen, from Mohammed to Pol Pot.

Behind this remorseless drive to blast the greatest names from America’s past off public buildings, and to tear down their statues and monuments, is an egalitarian extremism rooted in envy and hate.

Among its core convictions is that spreading Christianity was a cover story for rapacious Europeans who, after discovering America, came in masses to dispossess and exterminate native peoples. “The white race,” wrote Susan Sontag, “is the cancer of human history.”

Today, the men we were taught to revere as the great captains, explorers, missionaries and nation-builders are seen by many as part of a racist, imperialist, genocidal enterprise, wicked men who betrayed and eradicated the peace-loving natives who had welcomed them.

What they blindly refuse to see is that while its sins are scarlet, as are those of all civilizations, it is the achievements of the West that are unrivaled. The West ended slavery. Christianity and the West gave birth to the idea of inalienable human rights.

As scholar Charles Murray has written, 97 percent of the world’s most significant figures and 97 percent of the world’s greatest achievements in the arts, architecture, literature, astronomy, biology, earth sciences, physics, medicine, mathematics and technology came from the West.

What is disheartening is not that there are haters of our civilization out there, but that there seem to be fewer defenders.

Of these icon-smashers it may be said: Like ISIS and Boko Haram, they can tear down statues, but these people could never build a country.

We need to ignore the ideologues who would micromanage our lives and leave us in slavery. We need to again have confidence in Christ. We need to speak boldly.

And the Orcs have to leave before the sword is reforged.
