My Reaction to the Mainstream State of Mind

My Reaction to the Mainstream State of Mind

By Dionysis Theodorou


My writing is mostly a reaction to anti-Semetism, Islamic terrorism in the world and the mainstream media's passive reaction to these two evils.

Instead of strongly condemning Islamic terror which is responsible for death and fear on most of the planet today, the media, the United Nations, the European Union, and in general, the International Community, condemns Israel for defensive operations, building in Jerusalem and struggling to survive. The world has always been anti-Semetic and would just have Israel put down its weapons and surrender and stop making a fuss about the 300 million Arabs surrounding them, that are bent on their total destruction. This does not include the additional one billion Muslims worldwide who are openly anti-Semetic.

What the world fails to realise--preferring to be in denial and constantly assuming a position of appeasement--is that these same Islamists are blowing themselves up and killing innocents all over the world, including in European cities in what, to them, is a holy war--Jihad--to destroy Israel, America and western Judeao-Christian culture, with the declared goal of establishing, instead, an Islamic State under Shariah law.

The blindness, hypocrisy and total denial frustrates me, saddens me and angers me.

I realise that many Muslims are not radical in their actions and maybe not even in their ideas. I have had Muslim friends in Cyprus and in the US who where very western in their ways and in their lifestyle. This is not what stands out though. These moderates are hardly seen or heard. Where are the Muslim rallies against terror? Where are those who speak out against Jihad?

Instead, what you see in the streets of London and other UK cities, in the streets of Washington and other US cities, are rallies praising Hamas and Hizbollah, supporting Ahmadinejad of Iran and his nuclear weapons pursuits, calling for the destruction of Israel and of the Jews and encouraging the bombing of the UK and the USA--these protests take place ON AMERICAN, BRITISH AND EUROPEAN LAND--The audacity. And the stupidity of the European and American authorities which allow these gatherings to take place; however, these values and rights--the rights of free speech and freedom of assembly--are an integral part of our democratic way of life and the cornerstone of western civilization.

I don't mean to go on and on. Many of my friends and family just wish that I would join the ranks of the indifferent and SHUT UP ALREADY.

I identify with those who want peace on earth. I have two girls and another one on the way. I love my family and I just want to live in peace. Only the Messiah can bring real peace and the end to conflict, war and human suffering. We all long for his return. Jesus said:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely,  for my sake. 

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Holocaust Remembrance Day

By Dionysis Theodorou

Today, as we remember the more than six million Jews that were helplessly murdered during the Second World War, let us also remember that the perpetrators of this heinous crime had been declaring their purpose long before it transpired.

Mein Kampf was first published in 1925, long before its author came to power and years before any concentration camps and gas chambers had been built. In Mein Kampf, or My Struggle, Adolf Hitler expressed his hatred for the Jewish nation and outlined plans for the total extermination of the Jews from Europe and from the world. 

His warnings were all but ignored by world leaders. The tragedy that followed could have been minimised had Hitler been taken at his word and had strict and united measures been taken against him by world leaders. Instead, indifference and denial reigned supreme.

It is interesting that Winston Churchill called Mein Kampf "the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message." Today, Islamist followers of the Koran promise a much greater holocaust aimed first at America and Israel and then at all unbelievers, or infidels, as we are called.

The word Jihad means struggle. In the introduction to the Koran it is stated that "Islam is the willing submission to Allah and the active attainment of peace through conflict." The conflict is global terrorism and the infiltration of our society by Islamists with the declared goal of destroying America and Israel and establishing a global Islamic State under Islamic Shariah law. President Ahmadinejad of Iran is quickly moving forward in his pursuit of nuclear weapons and he proudly claims that he will use them against America, Israel and the unbelievers.

Islamic culture is different than our western Judeo-Christian culture. Children in Islamic nations are taught to love and glorify death as much as we love life. Mutual Assured Destruction, which was a deterrent against the use of nuclear weapons during the cold war, is actually an incentive for Islamists. They want to create chaos and wash the world in blood, because according to their writings, to which they faithfully adhere, the Islamic messiah will only come during a time of unprecedented destruction, chaos and bloodshed. Ahmadinejad starts every speech by asking Allah to hasten the return of the twelfth Imam, the Islamic messiah. He believes that he and the Islamic Republic of Iran have a prophetic duty to create the necessary circumstances for the ushering in of the twelfth imam and a time of world peace under Islam.

The world is in denial. People are not paying attention. People are indifferent, not interested. 

Can we do anything to stop the unfolding of events predicted thousands of years ago in the Bible? We cannot. We can, nevertheless, be informed so that we can have an educated opinion to express when we are asked about the state of the world.

We should remember who the violent ones are. We should know who is on the offensive. We should stand against terror. We should speak out against cold blooded fanatical Islamists who explode bombs attached to their bodies in public places destroying innocent lives and ruining families. We should express our disgust for those who slaughter children while they sleep in their beds displaying their love of death and pure hate for life. We should know the difference between good and evil.

Israel is on the frontlines of this war defending her existence, protecting our freedoms, suffering persecution, defamation, death at the hands of Islamic extremists and teaching the world how to do the same.

We should stand for the love of life, liberty and freedom. We should stand for the Judeo-Christian values on which our society and culture is built. We should stand with the families of over six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust while the world stood idly by. We should stand with Israel. We should say NEVER AGAIN.

The same people that threaten to destroy Israel and the Jews today are the same people that deny that the Holocaust ever happened--even though they contributed to the Holocaust.

Don't be indifferent.

Don't stand aloof.

Whose side are you on?
