Does world need another Islamic state?

ISIS, SHMISIS: What the world really needs is a CRISIS.

What do I mean?

ISIS, as most people understand, stands for Islamic State in Syria. But the intentions of the terrorist group that has shocked the world with its barbarity are to impose by force an Islamic state in a much broader area than Syria. The ultimate objective of ISIS, along with many other Sunni terrorist groups and their supporters, is the establishment of a new caliphate that will effectively impose hegemony over the whole world.

But let's deal in the here and now for a moment.

Of the 196 countries in the world, there are somewhere between 49 and 52 official Islamic states already established – depending on how you define the term. Do the math; that's 25 percent of the world's nations that are already Islamic.

Do we really need another? Do we really want another? Can we afford another one?

Think about that.

By my definition, there are zero Christian nations in the world, though 13 countries call themselves officially Christian. They are Argentina, Tuvalu, Costa Rica, Denmark, England, Greece, Georgia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, Norway and Vatican City. Allowing that these states call themselves Christian, none of them seeks to impose their beliefs on either their citizens or other nations. None of them supports terrorism to further their cause, though some have been victims of it. In each case, their status as "Christian nations" is more of a cultural legacy than anything else.

So let's agree that there really are no Christian nations in the world today – even though there are far more Christians in the world than there are Muslims.

If we acknowledge that it is legitimate for Muslims to have 49 to 52 officially Islamic states, where Shariah law reigns supreme, wouldn't it make sense to have at least one nation in the world where Christians could live according to the tenets of their faith?

This is not a popular idea today – though it's a logical solution to the bloodshed and genocide we see directed at Christians on a grand scale, especially where Islam rules or would like to rule.

Jews have their own state, Muslims have about 50, and Christians have none.

Does that make sense?

So what does ISIS have to do with all this?

Maybe we need a peaceful movement worldwide among Christians to get their own state where the faithful can live unmolested within their own borders, observe their own laws, with the right to self-defense and self-determination.

Does that make sense?

Maybe it should be called Christian State or CRISIS. Why CRISIS? I admit I stole the idea from my friend Michael Savage. The brilliant talk artist coined it and inspired this idea. Because the world has a crisis, whether it knows it or not. There is a mini-holocaust taking place in the world today, and Christians are the targets. By very conservative estimates, some 100,000 Christians are murdered each year because of their faith. Much of the carnage goes unreported, uncounted. Millions are driven into refugee states – mostly in the Middle East.

Why, I would like to know, is there no one in the world – besides me – even talking about the creation of a Christian state in the Middle East as a solution to this problem? Does anyone have a better idea?

One alternative, of course, would be for the United States or some other country to roll out the red carpet of welcome to the millions of Christian refugees. Instead, however, the U.S. is doing just the opposite in its immigration policies. It is welcoming, as a matter of official policy, tens of thousands of Sunni Muslim "refugees" into the country for permanent resettlement.

"Sunni refugees"?

Keep in mind Sunni Muslims are doing most of the killing in the Middle East. ISIS is Sunni. Al-Qaida is Sunni. Hamas is Sunni. Fatah is Sunni. So who are the Sunni refugees? In Syria, it was the Sunnis who started the war to overthrow the government of Bashar Assad. Assad is a religious minority himself – Alawite. He is supported by Iran and Hezbollah, which are Shiite, but he has generally protected religious minorities in Syria – as one himself. Meanwhile, the Sunni terrorists wage a scorched-earth war against anyone who is not Sunni.

So why is the U.S. actively looking for "Sunni refugees" to come to the U.S. when they are as scarce as hen's teeth?

Why are the real refugees, Christians, millions of them, forgotten, neglected, ignored and left behind for eventual extermination?

Maybe it's time Christians, especially in the Middle East, unite in a coalition for a state of their own. Maybe that coalition should be called CRISIS – given Christians are in one. It took 50 years for Zionists to establish their Jewish state – and thank God they did. Where would Jews be today if they didn't have Israel? Where will Middle East Christians be 50 years from now without a state of their own?
