Peter Kreeft on the simultaneous rise of homosexuality and Islam

Why the simultaneous rise of homosexuality and Islam?  An interview with Peter Kreeft In a recent interview, Boston College professor Peter Kreeft noted key similarities in the homosexual activist movement and radical Islam which have led to their ascendancy in recent times.  Asked about the simultaneous rise of militant Islam and the homosexual activist movement despite their opposing ideologies, Kreeft replied:   “They’re the only two movements in Western civilization that will fight and die for their beliefs.  It is an amazing paradox that they’re opposites in almost every way, and yet they’re similar in that they will still fight. Christians are supposed to fight too, the notion of spiritual warfare, the true meaning of jihad – a war against sin rather than flesh and blood. This is central to Christianity and we’ve lost it, and therefore opposite forces are entering the vacuum.” Kreeft explained that as the Christian faith has weakened in the West, it has caused a v

EU trying to force same-sex ‘marriage,’ Muslim migration onto Hungary

Image
The European Union is threatening sanctions against the largely-Christian nation of Hungary to force it to fall in line with liberal beliefs, including the supposed legitimacy of same-sex “marriage” and fictional right of Muslim migrants to walk into any country they wish. “The European Commission is using the tools we have, launching infringement procedures against countries that don't respect EU law.” I “am in harmony with today's decision,” Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, reportedly said. It's an unprecedented move. The 28-state political and economic union’s parliament has never voted to slap sanctions like this on any of its member states until now. Two-thirds of the Members of the European Parliament have already backed the censure motion. In the European Parliament, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called the threat of sanctions “blackmail.” “We will not support immigration and migrants against the better judgment o

Seven ways the ‘logic’ of progressives is destroying society

Rainbow flag. Symbol of gay pride. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) I’d like to offer seven reasons that I believe progressivism is well on its way to destroying Western Civilization — if it has not already. They don’t believe in freedom of speech. This should be obvious to anyone who reads the news. When progressives are faced with speech they don’t like, they utilize every tool at their disposal to shut it down, up to and including violence — and usually  while simultaneously playing the victim card . Conservative speakers need bodyguards for protection. Pro-life displays are  frequently attacked and torn down . Some controversial speakers actually face  riots, vandalism, and violence prior  to having arrived and prior to having actually said anything—and even feminist icons like Germaine Greer are having their speaking engagements targeted for refusing to embrace the current transgender craze. In Australia they plowed a vehicle into their office and lit gas tanks, threaten hote

Disney Refuses To Cut Gay Part Of 'Beauty And The Beast'

Image
Disney has stated that its upcoming live-action “ Beauty and the Beast ” “has not been and will not be cut” to remove a gay scene that is controversial in Malaysia . Disney has always intended to push the homosexual agenda into every country.  State censors had reportedly cut the scene and approved the film for release, but reports surfaced Monday that the film’s release had been delayed in the Muslim-majority Southeast Asia country, suggesting interference by the studio. Earlier this month, director Bill Condon told a U.K. publication that Gaston’s sidekick LeFou, played in the film by Josh Gad , has “confused” feelings for his friend . Condon characterized one scene as a “nice” “gay moment” in the film. In the U.S., news of Gay Disney’s first openly (to audiences, anyway) character sparked some discussion. Emma Watson , who plays Belle, praised Gad’s “subtle” performance in a recent interview, using a word uttered by many involved in the film to caution viewers against expec

Gender theory a matter of faith’, says family law expert

Image
A leading family law and child-protection expert has criticised the teaching of radical gender theory in classrooms across the country, likening the “odd and unscientific” beliefs promoted by groups such as the Safe Schools Coalition to those espoused by Scientology . Sydney University law profes­sor Patrick Parkinson has called for an extensive overhaul of the Safe Schools program, having taken issue with its ­promotion of “exaggerated statistics” on the prevalence of transgender and intersex conditions in the community to support its creators’ “belief that gender is fluid and can even be chosen”. In a research paper to be published today, Professor Parkinson notes that gender ideology, which lies at the heart of Safe Schools, has become a widespread belief system, particularly in Western countries . With its origins in university philosophy departments rather than science, it has no place in the primary or secondary school curriculum, which is required to be evidence-based,

Muslim bakers don’t want to make your gay ‘wedding’ cake, either; where are the protests? (video)

DEARBORN, MI , April 7, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Homosexual activists have painted Christian bakers, florists, and photographers as veritable hatemongers for refusing to participate in a same-sex “wedding” on religious grounds – but it is not only Christianity that teaches that homosexuality is immoral. In a new video, Steven Crowder discovered numerous Muslim bakeries refused to bake a cake for a homosexual “marriage” – and Crowder is calling homosexuals out for not being equally aggressive toward the Religion of Peace . Last week, Crowder posted an undercover  video  in which he visited several Muslim-owned bakeries in the Islamic hotspot of Dearborn, Michigan, posing as a man who planned to “wed” his boyfriend and wanted a cake made to honor their homosexual relationship. While a few bakeries were willing to create the gay “wedding” cake, “many of them were not,” Crowder reported. In the video, Muslim bakery employees can clearly be seen and heard refusing to cre

In England, one cardinal says brace for martyrdom over marriage, while another denounces ‘harsh’ language

English: Picture of Raymond Card. Burke at a Mass at St. Clement's Eucharistic Shrine in Boston, MA, USA (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Two cardinals active at October’s Extraordinary Synod on the Family offered strikingly contrasted messages on the hot-button issues from the Synod in talks to crowds in England on the weekend. While American Cardinal Raymond Burke urged Christians to be prepared to face martyrdom if need be in defense of marriage, Filipino Cardinal Luis Tagle’s remarks on the issue focused on the need to avoid “harsh” and “severe” language about homosexuals and Catholics who ‘remarry’ without an annulment. In a speech in northern England at a conference organized by the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children and Voice of the Family, Cardinal Burke said that our societies can “no longer be called Christian” and called for a movement of re-evangelization, starting from scratch. “In our day, our witness to the splendor of the truth about marriage mus

Why ddid a government funded TV station: SBS ban marriage advertisement during Homosexual mardi gras?

Image
A lot has happened since our letter to you on Saturday 7 March, as the first television ad in our marriage campaign, ‘Think of the Child’, was broadcast in Sydney as the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade got underway. Since then our ad, “What about Equality for the Child?” has been seen  over half a million times  on YouTube -   http://youtu.be/s80wL5al5NA .   It was the #1 video on YouTube in Australia for most of last week. Mess after Mardi Gras, Sidney, Australia (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) With the Senate set to debate Senator Leyonhjelm’s  Right to Marry Bill   next Thursday , AMF must keep putting out there the child-centred case against gay ‘marriage’ and gay adoption / surrogacy. ENGAGE THE DEBATE The Mardi Gras Parade, that decadent political protest march with its “marriage equality” float, was certainly the right time to place our gentle counter-protest. That decision, and the subsequent decision by SBS to ban our ad, has stimulated debate in a big way.
