Secularism Cannot and Will Not Defeat Islam

by Rebecca Bynum

I once thought the military could defeat Islam, but I was wrong.

I once thought secularism could defeat Islam, but I was wrong.

I once thought Christianity could defeat Islam, but again, I was wrong.

I believe a new and greater religion must arise to draw the adherents of both religions before peace can be achieved. I humbly submit it must be based on the following precepts:

You must Love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. (Deuteronomy 6:5)

You must Love your neighbor as yourself. (Leviticus 19:18)

That would be enough to unite the whole world and elevate civilization to new levels. To know God, we must love God and there are no heights a God-knowing people cannot attain.

Today feels like our darkest day since 9/11/2001, but look again. There is light ahead.
