SWOBODA: Approach similar to Communists’

Mikyl Swoboda’s letter, published April 21 and titled “American Taliban,” appears to have been lifted right out of “The Nation” magazine. It would have been helpful if he had included specific examples for his accusations and woke-styled denunciations. Also, many of his accusations about Christianity (…cradling misogyny, demanding submission, stifling free thought and cheering for militant action…) were more descriptive of radical Islam (ISIS, Iran) than Christianity. His approach seems similar to what Communists do to divide a country.

The reader might be enlightened by Raymond Ibrahim’s “Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West” and “Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam.” An appreciation of the resistance against depravity might be gained.

Further, “Christianity and Liberalism,” by J. Gresham Machen might provide insights into the state of our current condition.
