August 15th Weekend Celebration. National Holiday?

Another holiday has come and gone but the joy remains. It is not yet celebrated by many people in the free world, yet that too is changing. August 15, 718 the Muslims were repulsed from the siege of Constantinople, thus sparing Europe from the Islamic invaders and unquestionably saving Western Culture. It is a fantastic story that all Westerners and freedom loving Muslims should delight in. In importance to our culture, few events rival this historical event. The next August 15th, take time to celebrate your freedom. Many of our holidays are a celebration of freedom. Christmas, Christ's birth, freedom from sin. Easter, Christ's resurrection, freedom from death. The 4th of July, the freedom of national independence. August 15th, the saving of Western Culture from Islamic enslavement. Enemies are planning to take these freedoms away, celebrate and cherish the freedom. As Wafa Sultan has said, this is not a clash of cultures, it is a clash between civilization and barbarianism.

Why is freedom so important? Here is what Mark Twain said: "When I, a thoughtful and unbiased Presbyterian, examined the Koran, I knew that beyond any question every Mohammedan is insane, not in all things, but in religious matters.... I cannot prove to him that he is insane, because you never can prove anything to a lunatic — for that is a part of his insanity and the evidence of it." Mark Twain had as much criticism of all aspects of Western Culture and we celebrate that also. Self-criticism has never been our weakness, it is our strength. we are free to do it. As the joke goes, a man says to his middle eastern acquaintance, here in the West we can criticise our religion and our politicians as much as we like. Yes it is the same in Dar al-Islam, under Islamic law we too can criticise your religion and politicians as much as we like.

Thank God you are not forced to mechanically bow 5 times a day toward a black stone in Mecca.

Thank God you do not live by the rules of a mentally disturb narcissist.

Thank God for the spiritual freedom given through Christ and thank God for the secular freedoms passed down to us through the sacrifice of the Western patriots.
