  How Islam Overcame the West: In his well-known history of Western civilization, Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) offered an interesting “what if” scenario concerning the pivotal Battle of Tours (732 A.D.), when a massive Muslim army—which had terrorized, slaughtered, and enslaved every Christian on its path—was finally halted and defeated by the Franks in the middle of France. Had the Muslims actually won, Gibbon …

  Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Rod Dreher, and Johannes Hartl explores in a recent London ARC debate how Western civilization might transition from an era marked by deconstruction, scepticism, atheism, nihilism, hopelessness and pessimism to one of hope and cultural renewal.

  There is an enormous crisis confronting Western civilization caused by the advent of cultural Marxism, which aims, as its stated goal, at destroying the capitalist West.

  Christianity’s foundational role in shaping Western secularism, individual freedoms and political order sharply distinguishes it from Islam, which embodies a totalizing way of life, prohibiting critical thinking and without separation of religion and state. Islam faces unique challenges in adapting to secular liberalism due to its integrated religious-political nature and the literalist understanding of the Quran. “Essentially what Christianity has …

  “What I find shocking is that in the last 30 years, I have witnessed Western societies, the Netherlands, Britain, the United States of America, forces emerging from within either subscribing to communism or establishing Islamism here, saying let’s deconstruct Western civilization.” “The Islamists among us, the communists among us are saying let’s shift the institutions away from the focus …

  For decades, the leading European philosopher and atheist, Jürgen Habermas has emphasized the need for moral development in the secular West. His thinking was initially considered neo-Marxist, following along the lines of the radical Frankfurt School that heavily criticized the bourgeoisie, traditional values in Europe. He sought the answers to how to live the best possible life and be …

  As technocracy and transhumanism have risen to the forefront, they have brought with them their own form of science — “scientism” — which is basically the religion of science. In other words, it’s a belief that even in the absence of evidence, or in the face of contrary evidence, the scientific priesthood is intolerant to new ideas or new …

  Psychiatric disorders and mental health problems are skyrocketing in the United States. More people died from suicide in the United States last year than any other year on record, according to provisional data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
