ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

[Beskar]

You presumably can't understand the number of Muslim Britain's heading to Syria either - it's not like many of them are Syrian.

Put it this way - my Crusading arm is getting twitchy - and I'm not exactly an active man. Previously, including after 9/11 this impulse was indulged by national governments - consciously or otherwise. Now it isn't.

I can actually understand that because Islam is a more politically powerful force than Christianity.

If Christendom tried to reverse this by preaching from the pulpit for a Crusade, the ramifications would most likely turn very ugly politically for Christians, those arguments about how it is a "harmless, well meaning, benign fairy tale" will go out of the window. Will be cracked down upon in the same manner as other fundamentalists. If the Church of England was involved, good bye to that and you will see a truly secular Britain.
