As Christians and Jews, following the example of the faith of Abraham, we are called to be a blessing to the world (cf. Gen. 12:2 ff.). This is the common task awaiting us.

You cannot defend our civilization by expending blood and treasure in an effort to defend an alien barbarism. Either we relearn this lesson to our cost or we are decadent and shall be destroyed.~Ghost of a Flea
