Against All Enemies, Foreign and Domestic
A country unwilling to defend itself is a country that will not live.

If a country cannot defend itself from external attacks and will not defend its own internal culture, then that country won’t long last. This isn’t a controversial point, is it? Nations survive when they are capable of securing their borders from invaders who wish to conquer them. Nations endure when they are capable of preserving their own historic cultures. When they can do neither, foreigners take over and either kill, enslave, or convert the locals. That’s human history in a nutshell.
Do you remember when people were handing over their DNA to genealogy-mapping businesses that trace family lineages, and most of the modern inhabitants of Turkey were greatly offended to discover that they are actually Greek? Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan joined other prominent Turks in condemning popular ancestry companies for revealing an uncomfortable truth: Most Turkish citizens are descendants of Bronze Age Greeks whom Islamic peoples from Central Asia conquered. After the Ottoman conquest of their lands, the Greek ancestors of today’s Turks chose conversion over death or second-class social status. Just as the Turks are really Greeks, Egypt’s Muslims are the descendants of Christians, and Iran’s Muslims are the descendants of Persian Zoroastrians. Wherever Islam conquers, the old ways — cultures, beliefs, religions — are discarded and forgotten.
Do you think future inhabitants of Great Britain, Germany, and France will be similarly offended when they discover their own genetic links to the Celts, Gauls, Teutons, and Anglo-Saxons? Will they be shocked to realize that their ancestors were once devout Christians? Will they deny the truth of their ancestors’ Islamic subjugation just as Turkey’s citizens do today?
