The Battle of Lepanto – Podcast, by Buck Sexton
A little over a week ago I posted a historical perspective of how Western nations in conflict with the Islamic Caliphate have led us to where we are today, with ISIS on the march in the Middle East, once again seeking to regain a Caliphate. I get that many people find history to be boring and to have little relevance in today’s world, but regardless of American’s non-existent attention span, these events, lead us directly into the events we face today. Some may say that things were different in the 1500’s. This is very much a true statement, yet the overall sweep on history is undeniable. We live in a modern world, and in the West, at least, citizens are typically quite tolerant. In contrast however, Islamic extremists are killing men, women, and children on a daily basis, in pursuit of a world that is very based on the primitive societies dating back to the beginnings of the Islamic world.
As I noted in previous articles, while all Muslims are certainly not radical extremists, radical extremists exist in every corner of the world, including in the United States and Europe. The notion of Muslim conquest in today’s world is just as real as in centuries past. In fact, Jihad by Muslim radicals, is historically undeniable. Christianity has it’s own brutal past, but the difference today is that Muslims have yet to have a reformation, moderating primitive instincts. While listening to Buck Sexton’s rendition of the Battle of Lepanto, one cannot help but see the similar imperatives Jihadist seek today. This is truly a wonderful bit of very relevant history.
Enjoy!
