So did the Americans. Battling muslim pirates off the Barbary coast (North Africa) gave birth to the Marines. How they were called "leather necks" was the tough leather protection they wore to resist decapitation in battle. It is even referenced in the US Marines' anthem to this day.

And the Muslims warn us against global domination by CHINA

@WayneHawthorne they warn us of the Chinese and they keep on embracing the Chinese.

@eschatologyguy I guess you missed the plight of the Uyghurs.

@WayneHawthorne I didn't miss that at all. But what doesn't get picked up by most is that China still gets partnered by Iran, by Turkey, by the Taliban, by Pakistan, by the Saudi's, etc. Its as if the Uyghur thing didn't happen at all.

@eschatologyguy Equating the Taliban with true Muslims is like drawing an association between Christianity and BLM.

@WayneHawthorne the BLM is ANTI-Christian and is in no way following the bible. They're militant atheists. The Taliban on the other hand is following the qur'an. Have you read the qur'an? I have. I recommend you do. Try the Picthall English Translation. The good stuff starts at surah (chapter) 4. If you want digested stuff, subscribe to Dr. David Wood's channel on YouTube or Rumble. The "good" Muslims you talk about are the NOMINAL muslims, those are not really following their "holy" book. This is a huge bone to chew on. For starters, you can start with this one.

@eschatologyguy In the three Abrahamic languages, there is much distortion of the truth. The Old Testament, The Torah, the Quran, and the Pentateuch all contain murderous passages IN THE NAME OF GOD. Over two million people were killed in the supposed name of God. None of those gods are my God.

@eschatologyguy Or that the Chinese embrace islam/Muslims.

@WayneHawthorne That it is an Abrahamic religion is its main lie. Abraham never worshipped a god of war named Allah (Jihad is war to honor allah). Theologians worth their salt would refute the very idea. Islam is not an Abrahamic religion. It just pretends to be. But you can call it a Christian cult, much like the Mormons, but with lots of chop chops involved. It came as a polemic, to destroy Jews and Christians in their "last day." The character of the two deities are also diametrically opposed. Where one says thou shalt not murder, the other says kill. Where one says thou shalt not steal, the other talks how to divide booty and spoils of Jihad. Where one says thou shalt not covet, the other says take the wives and daughters of your enemies as sex slaves. Study the qur'an and the haddiths. Don't just parrot lies. You have nothing to worry about Christians chopping off your head. The opposite is true with Islam.
