Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
Last month, Communist China launched its largest ever crackdown on Christians. The raids across Beijing, Shanghai and eight other cities mark the beginning of an escalation as the paranoid Xi regime sets out to suppress the growing number of Chinese Christians.
While the Communist regime claims that the official number of Christians in China is under 50 million people, the actual estimated number of Christians now tops 100 million. Most Chinese Christians are staying away from the official government churches and going underground.
The raids and the arrests of pastors and worshipers at ‘underground churches’ that are not officially registered with and do not submit to the regime’s Communist churches is the latest move by the Chinese Communist dictatorship to slow down and control the runaway growth in Christianity which has shot up from 1 million to over 100 million since the Cold War.
If this rate of growth continues, Chinese Christians could number 300 million by 2050.
The internet, no matter how censored by the ‘Great Firewall’, has only accelerated the rise of Christianity as a population robbed of meaning and purpose, all too aware of the corruption of their leaders and the hollowness of a Communist ideology that even Communists no longer believe in, are turning to faith. And the Communist regime is doing what it does best.
China’s Communist regime has raided ‘underground churches’ and tried to stem the growth of religion online by warning that even online sermons may only be delivered by its officially licensed clergy. But the accelerated growth of Christianity after the end of the Cultural Revolution suggests that Communist repression will not stop China’s Christians.
Even while the Communist regime was cracking down on Christians in China, Muslims were continuing the massacre of Christians in Nigeria that has reached genocidal proportions.
This summer, after Front Page Magazine’s reporting, Charlie Kirk tweeted out our message, “Did you know 125,000 Christians have been murdered and 19,000 churches destroyed by Muslims in Nigeria in the last 15 years? Weird how that never gets any attention. Wonder why.”
President Trump has announced that he’s taking action against the Nigerian regime unless the massacres of Christians end. It’s a welcome change from the Obama administration which had initially enabled the genocide by replacing an elected Christian president with a Muslim dictator.
But after Trump’s warning, China and Nigeria united in support of Christian genocide.
China’s foreign ministry issued a statement warning that “as Nigeria’s comprehensive strategic partner, China firmly opposes any country using religion and human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, and threatening other countries with sanctions and force.”
Foreign policy experts and the media deliberately failed to connect the dots between two countries where Christians are threatened standing together against American efforts to protect Christians, but that ‘red-green alliance’ is swiftly becoming a defining global paradigm.
It’s the world war of our age.
The Marxist-Muslim alliance is a national and a global threat to the Christian world. Muslim and Marxist states and movements are doing everything possible to roll back the growth of Christianity, to persecute Christians under their rule, and to invade and colonize Christian countries. This vast global civilizational campaign is happening both next door in our nations and communities, but it’s also a worldwide phenomenon that is taking place everywhere.
Even as debates continue about what an ‘America First’ foreign policy looks like continue, it’s important that we understand the red-green alliance between Marxism and Islam is coming for America not just because we’re large and wealthy, but because they want to destroy us at a basic ideological level no matter what foreign policy we adopt and how we appease them.
Standing up for Christians persecuted by Communism and Islam is not only the best of what we are, but is a matter of self-defense. After the fall of the USSR, many foreign policy experts argued that the world was no longer defined by a few power blocs, but by vast competing and overlapping national interests that could be unified and harmonized through multilateral globalist institutions. Some who opposed that argued for a complete American withdrawal from the world.
After 9/11 and the radical leftist protests that followed, globalists and isolationists both failed to realize that what happened was not just a Muslim terrorist attack and had nothing to do with our foreign policy, but was the crowning blow of a Marxist-Islamic alliance as leftists rallied for Muslim terrorists, whether in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza or anywhere else, and against us.
The Marxist-Muslim alliance, whether it’s manifested in street riots or in BRICS, is defining a new world order aimed at the dismantling of Western civilization. And it sees Christianity as the vanguard and stabilizing force of that hated civilization. That’s why the war on Christians in Africa or China, in Europe or the Middle East, is ultimately a war against all of us.
That war is not defined by abstractions like ‘no enemies to the right’. In a world where Tucker Carlson invites on a Marxist representative for a Nigerian Islamist who killed Christians to deny Christian genocide in Nigeria, or invites on Jeffrey Sachs, a UN official who praised Communist China and was funded by George Soros, to denounce America, it’s all too clear that not everyone on the right is willing to stand up to China and the Muslim murder of Christians.
Some who claim to be on the ‘right’ will even be all too willing to do their bidding.
In the war between Marxism, Islam and Christian civilization, anyone who is not willing to stand up to the persecutors and killers of Christians is a traitor to not just this country, but to this civilization.
The war against the ‘red-green alliance’ of Marxism and Islam is the defining conflict of our age. It is the struggle that will determine whether there will even be a Western civilization.
How would Joseph McCarthy deal with the Red-Green alliance if he was alive today? After all, the Soviets were already teaming up with the Islamists when he was in office, and I’m surprised that McCarthy never really paid attention to the Red-Green alliance during his time.
What they tried to do with Trump, they succeeded in doing to Joseph McCarthy.
He was attacked early by Soviet asset reporter I.F. Stone.
Stone was a paid influencer and related to Kathy Boudin – Weather Underground bitch who lured out two cops to an ambush in the Brinks robbery.
After Clinton pardoned her, she landed a teaching/propaganda position at Cambridge until she died of age. (Stone would’ve been so proud.)
Damned right that McCarthy found communist subversives in our government.
Venona decrypts proved him right, as did Whittaker Chambers who exposed Alger Hiss (also in the Venona decrypts).
Daniel et al,
I appreciate your article and comments on this topic.
Islam has been on the march for 1400 years with a murder toll of 270 million. Communism is a new comer yet with death toll of 150 million in 100 years. Both are potent civilizational evils to the foundations of the Christian West. Have more children, homeschool and seek Christian revival.
Indeed, will there even be a western civilization in the near future? Witness England, of all places.
Suppose it’s twenty-five years from now and America has fallen to
Marxism. You’re sitting at your daily workstation with several people
and you all have a little tool which you carry with you at all times. It’s
used to make your daily quota of metal gadgets. One day on your
way to your station, the person walking before you unknowingly
drops her little tool. You surreptitiously bend over and pick it up or
the guard will punish her. You slip it to her at the station because no
talking is allowed. Her panicked expression dissolves into gratitude.
You have fulfilled what Jesus Christ called the greatest commandment:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You had to do
that behind the guard’s back because that belief is forbidden under
Communism – where the belief is to obey for the greater good, where
the belief is the State is your god.
And that Golden Rule – that Christian belief spawned from Jesus’ ancient
Jewish teachings – does not exist anywhere in Islam. If, somehow, in
spite of lifelong indoctrination as a Muslim, you manage to have a flicker
of conscience when savaging your victims – you better not reveal it or
you’ll wind up just like them.
Daniel Greenfield is 100% right. “In the war between Marxism, Islam and
Christian civilization, anyone who is not willing to stand up to the
persecutors and killers of Christians is a traitor to not just this country,
but to this civilization”. Any Americans who believe they are not part of
the Chinese Christians hiding underground or the Nigerians being
slaughtered for their Christian faith better stop and think again.
They see empathy and compassion as weakness.
Fascinating perspective. I never would’ve known. Great article, Daniel. Thanks!
It can’t be emphasized enough that the paramount target of the Marxists is Judeo-Christian Civilization, which stands as its most potent opposition. The Marxist attack has three prongs which are in my view: 1) flooding the affluent First World with the non-affluent Third World, 2) using the climate change hysteria to cripple Western economies 3) harvesting the full potential of largely leftist indoctrinated minds of Western younger people. For now, fellow-travelling Islamists are just useful idiots who will be marginalized and excluded from power once communist totalitarianism achieves a perceived state of world lockdown.
Being a traditional Catholic who abhors the leftist and heterodox drift of my Church, I believe true Christianity will increasingly go underground. This has already been happening for some time. For example, since the 1960s, those Catholics who attend the ancient Latin Rite Mass have been dismissed disparagingly as “rad trads” and for the most part cancelled by those in authority in Modernist Rome.
On the up side in these very dark times, however, Jews and Christians should not fall into despair. God is ultimately in charge. Back at the time of the French Revolution, the murderous Jacobin utopians appeared to have permanently taken over power in France. Of course, they eventually fragmented and failed.
Chick Publications has pertly of good material all about Islam
Not trying to make a direct link here, but with the Afghan national arrested in the shooting of the DC National Guard troops, his actions become symbolic. CNN is already trying to create his victim-identity.
Next, they’ll liken such killers to the heroic French Resistance of WW2, a kind of Saint Luigi exorcising the ICE demons.
Meanwhile, millions of functioning ignorami are being programmed to take their feelings of worthlessness (thanks to our Teachers Unions) to the streets in “protest”.
And still, no one asks if everyone has a right to a smart phone?
It’s like something out of sci-fi nightmare.
Not just in Africa…churches have been attacked in Europe!
Although Islam and Marxism are today the most obvious imminent danger to America and the West, the central ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice of Judaism and Christianity are at the root of America’s and the West’s self-destruction.
FPM almost always ignores and evades the fact that there are more American Jews and Christians on the Left than on the Right.
The Christian churches in America following the example and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth are actively sacrificing America to all comers. Who sponsored Ilhan Omar and her family? Lutheran Services. Who was there aiding and abetting the Biden administration with the open borders invasion? The Christian churches and the Jewish charities.
What would Jesus do? Jesus sacrificed himself on a cross for the unworthy and the undeserving and that is exactly what the Christian churches are doing today, sacrificing America to the unworthy and the undeserving.
The roots of the American welfare state lie in Christianity. The roots of American self-sacrifice for globalism and indiscriminate, promiscuous, brotherly love lie in Christianity.
It is the Christian ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice that are destroying America and the West.
October 7th would never have happened if the Israelis had not taken altruistic pity on the Gaza Muslims and granted them work permits. Talk about the Christian ethics of — “turn the other cheek” and “love your enemies”. Even Judaism has been heavily influenced by the core Christian ethics of self-sacrifice.
“The roots of America’s welfare state lie in the Populist-Progressive Era of the late 19th century and early 20th century, especially with the Protestant social gospel movement, which held that Christian ethics and “social justice” should drive public policy, including wealth redistribution, trust-busting, graduated tax rates to punish the rich, cradle-to-grave handouts, and missionary-style imperialistic ventures abroad to spread the faith and make the world “safe for democracy.” The concept of social justice, which jettisoned the idea that we actually earn and deserve what we get in life, was first adopted by the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in the 1840s, as drawn from the work of St. Thomas Aquinas.” – Richard M. Salsman, “Holy Scripture and the Welfare State”
That’s an interesting idea. As I see it, there has been some good in the spread of compassion through church teachings, but it has not been balanced with common sense about outcomes and excesses. Also, it appears to have been taken over by socialism pushing for a kind of fake compassion to social engineer its way to power.
In short, religion is rebuked here in a one sided way. Proverbs has plenty of common sense warnings about what happens to people who don’t work, carouse, and defy just authority. The book of Deuteronomy and in the book of Acts contain punishment for people who are dishonest about not doing their share.. These are just a few of the Biblical teachings that balance out unthinking altruism.
Many good points. Christians and Jews can do unto others as they wish for themselves, but there needs to be common sense in who you are helping. Soft hearts are easily run over by wicked people.
Your comment is right on point in light of that P.O.S. Afghan who shot two Nat. Guard soldiers. The most repeated comment from the Leftist weenies was, “but he worked with our troops during the war” And how much bad intel did he pass along to American command. Taqiyya is what they engage in.
Biden and his Obama holdovers are responsible for this and the shooting was inevitable. Biden couldn’t wait to bring these murderers here. putting us all in danger. Thank God he is ending the practice of 3rd world unvetted immigration. Who can forget the howling from the America hating left about imaginary Islamophobia.
Now is the time for Islamic deportations bigly. Getting rid of the Islamic enablers wouldn’t hurt either. Eff the Left.
The best movie parallel to this, is where Viserys Targaryen gives his little sister to the Dothroki because he imagines they will conquer the Seven Kindoms for him.
Once they figure out he has zero physical power they just off him in a very gruesome manner.
Best to say/write : “Koranists”/“Koranism.”
No such critter as “Radicalized Muslim”
or “Radical Islamist”—because anyone
who studies the Koran belives this
instruction from its pages :
“Kill
unbelievers
wherever
you
may
find
them.”
So, every MOSQUE is a deadly threat to everyone—except Koranists.
