Someone wake me up, but when did this nightmare start? Obviously it is the direct result of the weakening of Western civ and the ultimate turn away from god. But the end time has to come someday. Welcome to that end.
Even if I were an atheist, I would be looking upon these times with great alarm. Islam is coming for you. If Christianity were the Ying and Islam the Yang, seems you have created a vacuum for them to take over even you. No longer are things balanced. You will try and ban them to, but you will fail. You are already overrun.

Why I find this post interesting, subman, is that it displays rather typical fears of a narrow 'western' viewpoint. This is not a criticism of you, but it does show how the USA has consistently underestimated the effects of its foreign policy upon other nations. Such is (was?) your confidence in the 'exportability' of your system and doctrines the USA was genuinely amazed when you found that not everyone felt that way. Ironically the fears you express are PRECISELY how others feel in different parts of the world. To demonstrate this, simply swap the words 'Islam' and 'Christianity' in the above post to see how someone in Afghanistan or Beirut might see the current world order.
