The Laws of Gravity

A September 3rd article in American Thinker by Mladen Andrijasevic said this:

If we drop a ball what will happen to it? It will fall to the ground because of the gravitational force acting between two masses, an inherent property of all matter. If we have a Muslim minority in a country what will happen? They will try to impose Islam on everyone else, because of jihad, one of the basic tenets of Islam which commands them to do so.

The above is, in short, what the problem is with the prospects of the Washington DC peace negotiations. The dignitaries sitting in the room will not all of a sudden start hovering in mid air. Gravity will keep them in their seats. The Palestinians will not all of a sudden behave any differently – jihad will command them to act. The prospects for achieving peace are nil.

We have seen US presidents come and go. We have seen Oslo I, Oslo II, Taba, Wye, Tenet, Mitchell, Zinni, Sharm El-Sheikh, Roadmap, Annapolis come and go. What remains constant is the refusal to accept the obvious reason why peace cannot be achieved. (bold added).

I remember when reading this article two months ago that it was missing the completed section. Upon looking to click on some button in order to retrieve the rest of the article, I discovered that, indeed, I had already read the entire article. The article was either simplistic in its subject matter, or it was so incredibly profound in nature that no more need be said.

So what did the author attempt to say? Namely this: The tenets of “the religion of peace” demand jihad which demands that Islam be imposed upon all. Further, peace cannot be achieved in light of this kind of a mind-set. The tenets of Islam demand that Islam conquer and peace will not be achieved until that condition wins the day. Simple enough. If true, then why do we think that we can reason with these people? Why does the man-made edifice known as the “Church” attempt to do so at the expense of the unique claims of the gospel and of the Savior God who makes claim to being the one and only set-apart God of the universe?

One cannot defy the laws of gravity; one cannot reason with the militant and proactive thrust of Islam. Either deny the above or engage in the defense of the gospel. This coming battle is not subject to our approval. We fight, or we gravitate towards apostasy thru ecumenism and appeasement.
