Those that do not learn from history are prone to repeat it.

Look at the last Islamic expansion, how it went, see the many similarities, learn from it and then realize what it took THEN to stop them.

The jihad didn't really stop, it just ran out of money around the early 1600s. And so it was put on ice for about 300 years.

It wasn't until the discovery of oil in the middle-east that jihad has returned almost to it's former glory as a dire threat to the west. Except this is the 21st century: frontlines are history. The real battles of today are fought in the hearts and minds of people, and the war is for the soul of the West. Does it still belong to Christ, or will it belong to Allah?

It actually seems to be trending toward Option C - neither.

We always expect to see what we want to see. This is called «Confirmation Bias».

To see what is actually there isn't natural. You can see evidence of Confirmation Bias in most threads as soon as you are aware of it...

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

I was basing my comment on polling and census data. During one of my many arguments with B.W. I wanted to know what percentage of the United States was Christian, or at least self-identified as such. I looked it up and discovered that it was actually quite a bit lower than I'd thought - something like 75% and trending downward. I did a bit more research and found that the trend is the same throughout most of the developed world. I didn't check to see if the people leaving Christianity were converting to Islam, but come on...

So I went with C.
