Our English correspondent Seneca III has a few choice words for the religious leaders of the West.
An Open Address to the Elders and Princes of the Judaeo-Christian Ecumene
by Seneca III
I stand before you this day as man, never more than a man and often less, and I acknowledge in all love and humility that you are also men, mere mortals like me. However, I also acknowledge that you are different from me — different in the sense that the burden you carry, your vocation together with its obligations, is far heavier and has far greater and far more reaching consequences than any burden that ever has or will fall upon my shoulders. So, it is with a heavy heart and no great certitude as to the outcome that I address you, the Lord’s senior servants, as I do hereunder.
If you look around you with eyes fully open you will see that your Flocks — those simple, decent people who look to you for temporal guidance and protection as well as spiritual — are not simply being decimated, they are being exterminated or, in the case of the not so lucky few who survive the swords of Islam, enslaved. From the Middle East through Africa to the Far East the ravening savages of the Prophet of Mecca and Medina are on the march again in pursuit of their eternal quest, the global Caliphate, and the tides of blood grow higher each day.
And you, with a few notable exceptions, what do you do? Well, I will tell what you are seen to be doing — or rather not doing — and how your actions reflect in the eyes of the common man as he watches these same hordes gathering in less than quiet readiness in our Western homelands.
Time after time after time after time when faced with this catastrophic sequence of events you do not take Islam and its proponents openly and firmly to task, except on the odd occasion where then you shortly thereafter retract and apologise for speaking truth in daylight. Instead you seek to compromise, to mollify, excuse or appear to close in some form of professional ranking with these purveyors of death and destruction. In so doing we, your Flock, lose ground and lives with every backward step you take. Can you not understand that to a Muslim turning the other cheek is but a way of presenting your and our necks for severance?
Why do you not understand this?
Surely you must be aware that the Imams, Ayatollahs, Mullahs, Muttawas of Islam and their lay proselytisers within and without the Ecumene are well-practised in the black arts of disinformation and dissemblance. Indeed, their Book mandates such procedures in their dealings with you and us, we whom they refer to as Kuffar, and yet you persist, even after fourteen centuries of exposure to this practice, in either failing to recognise or refusing to acknowledge the reality. Again and again it is we that end up paying the ultimate price for this dereliction of your moral and spiritual duties.
And yet, and yet, as the butcher’s bill rises by an order of magnitude almost daily, still you gentlemen in the main continue to play dice with your own immortal souls, seemingly unknowing or uncaring that one day you will have to stand before the Gates and answer for the way those dice rolled as below you the black cloud of slavery only slightly muffles the sound of clanking chains and the crack of whips.
Gentlemen, I am of a mind that the answer to what I presume to be your dilemma, and our physical salvation, lies in your relocating some of your moral vertebrae, and, like your predecessors did so many times in the past when confronted by the ancestors of these same barbarians, become again the Church Militant.
Furthermore, I suggest, even beg, that henceforth your only refrain should be…
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire! *
…and I do not mean in any metaphorical sense either, please note.
Thank you for listening. Please bear in mind that I expect nothing of our political classes but I would hope for so much more from you.

I’ve been shouting out “Islam ad portas!” for nigh on 14 years. I also shouted “Delenda
est Islamo!” But my voice was ignored- Indeed I was called “Over emotional” and “Mad!”….
I still shout it daily….
Everything I and others warned about has come to be……
I suggested several times that we western Christians should help our fellows in the Middle East. I was ignored or called an “Islamophobe”, “Had repellent views!” and “Racist”.
So what hope is there if even a Bishop, like myself who is prepared to say it as it is is ignored in favour of “Dialogue”? I don’t do “Dialogue” with cults…But I am alone it seems.
No you are not dear brother. Know that. Many more of us are apparently “racist maniacs “. A shame we are spread around. Would be safer in numbers !
Certainly a lesson in toughening up
That is for sure. I never considered myself particulary very brave but neither a coward, but now my strength and courage is really being tested. Years ago , I started to study Islam 23 years ago, was ” led” to, I could not possibly see how this ideology could ever take us over. Surely nobody would tolerate such absurdity. ? Surely Christians and most non-Christian Westerners would not allow this.
Now I see why. I had never counted the evil methods used to brainwash the masses. No different than any fascist method then. I should have realised this years ago.
I also see what I warned others about. But it makes no difference even now to them ! They ask why I get myself into such a state as there is little we can do about it anyway, and then..next subject please, have you see the latest film blah blah….
The least interested are the Christians ! ( apostate church, the great falling away propecied???)Now that was an eye-opener. I have even been told not to worry because ” we will be raptured by then”
I give up.
“Till we have built Al Quds in Englands green and present land” (with apologies)
Yes, thats ugly
Bravo Sir! absolutely BRILLIANT TO SAY THE LEAST! If I dare say, this should be printed out and nailed to every church in the western world. As a Catholic I would love to hand deliver this to the current Pope. Deo Volente!
We lament that Islam is on the march, and we sign our lamentation: 2014 CE — Common Era, a term I’d never heard until the PC police descended on our university campus in the early 1990s. The PC language corrupters, whose mission is to obliterate the past and impose a new theory of meaning; the not-so-gents who aspire to crushing God, whose wrath they will not escape.
Has anybody else noticed that the rise of Islam and Marxism parallel the gutting of the Gospel in the church, at one time committed to preaching heaven in the hereafter for sinners redeemed by Christ’s blood, but increasingly — whether from the political right or the left — striving for the immanentization of the eschaton? heaven on earth, today, and the fantastical and insane drive to achieve it?
So, this Harriet is not impressed in the least with the PC use of CE — because our dear Seneca has tossed out in that one falsity the only hope of Western Civilization, to at minimum, mitigate the temporal chaos filling the vacuum caused by a near-moribund Christianity.
To me, HarrietHT , CE does not mean ‘Common Era’. It means ‘Christian Era’. Rethink and reconsider, child, and I would hope that in the light of my clarification thereof you would do me the courtesy of giving me the benefit of the doubt before tossing out my ‘tossing outs’, so to speak 🙂
Seneca III
P.S. No hard feelings, life really is a demanding learning curve and it comes not easy to any of us, xxx, S III.
Please pardon my rising hackles, since as I describe CE has been used in my experience as Common Era.
This child, btw, is a grandmother. 😉
Yes, conventionally, C.E. is Common Era. It should really stand for “Correct Era”, perhaps…
Why complicate these matters?
Just use A.D. as we always have.
We at Calvary Chapel who teach the whole counsel of God have been sounding the alarm for years. Now, more than ever, it has become apparent that this is a spiritual battle in which Satan’s favorite tactic is blinding the eyes of those who should be seeing what is happening and then sounding the alarm. Instead, the ‘princes’ of the “church” go on about tolerance and inclusivity. Read Revelation Chapter Three to hear what Jesus Himself has to say about the Last Days Church. After Jesus, in His righteousness and in fulfillment of what He promised in John Chapters 14 through 16, removes the Church that has been waiting for Him while being diligent to be the salt and light He expects, the ‘church’ that remains will have its tolerance, diversity, and inclusiveness handed to it by a world that hates it and will burn it with fire before the world itself is judged after the same fashion.
You cannot try a criminal complaint without evidence. The Torah states that out of the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact will be confirmed. The Christians who have been slaughtered, especially during the past twenty years, will be more than sufficient evidence to bind these prelates over for trial and then sentencing. This reply goes out as an exhortation imploring those in positions of spiritual leadership to repent and ament their ways before it is too late, and the door is shut, with Jesus saying, “Depart from Me, I never knew you.”
Maranatha
The leaders of the organized Christian faiths are serving their flocks up as sacrifices to the coming caliphate.
The current administrations in multiple countries is also bowing to the sword of islam.
Civil war, riots anarchy loom in the future, because when resistance to the muzzys finally comes to a head it will not be a simple disagreement.
No, it will not be a simple disagreement. It will be brutal and bloody, and no one who is involved will ever be the same again.
Unfortunately, unless our leaders suddenly grow spines, it is likely to come to that.
I’ve just come across the Anglican Multiculturist-in-Chief’s statement to the effect that Islam makes a positive contribution to British society:
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/faith/article4165023.ece
The man is not merely misguided: he is an enemy of England and of Christianity. What business does he have with the title ‘Archbishop’? At least when America’s Trojan-Horse-In-Chief prattles about Muslims “building the very fabric of America,” we know, even Democrats know now — 7 years too late — that he is, transparently, an alien enemy of the country that elected him President. But to be a bona fide Englishman and to run errands for Muhammad while wearing ther supreme mitre of the Church of England, that’s more despicable.
That supreme mitre is a political appointee….
Tony Blair appointed a ‘Druid’!
From Romans Chapter 1, “Because they rejected the Truth God gave them over to the lie.” Go back to Genesis Chapter 3 for the lie Satan told Eve. That same lie is doing a very good job even today. The state church, Roman, Anglican (the Queen is the Pope), and Lutheran along with the ‘respectable’ American churches have bought into the lie that the way to salvation need not be narrow but that a ‘loving’ god is all-inclusive.
BTW, look up Jay Smith. We had him as a guest speaker about a year ago. The Sunday night presentation was an eye-opener. The Ninth Century Caliph, Abu Ali Malik, is responsible for the version of the Qur-an we have today as well as re-orienting the focus of worship from Petra to Mecca. He also was involved in the scholarly review of the Holy Quran in Turkey. UV light showed words on the vellum that had been bleached out in favor or different words.
In short, everyone who does not have Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is following The Lie. For evidence of this all you need to do is watch what people are saying and doing. It is almost as if to say that the inmates are in charge of the asylum, sniff. 🙁
Beautifully articulated.
The words were true then, and even more so today.
The face of evil never changes nor does the nature of man except when he is fully infused with the holiness, truth and understanding of a just God.
There are times when the evil is so great, that God requires of us to turn our plowshares into swords, our pruning hooks into spears and become valiant warriors.
Thank you for posting this. I cherished every word.
It’s not religion that the West needs, but Jesus Christ–and him as presented in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. While I’m all for good manners, civility, and neighborliness towards everyone, I cannot accept the moral relativism that is taken for granted by too much of the Western world, including, alas, its “respectable” religious leaders.
Yes, but Jesus Christ Himself did not wish to simply be presented in Sacred Scripture. He asked to be presented through the Church, His Bride. While that can literally mean the reception of Holy Eucharist, it also means that he established a tangible structure through the Apostles who established the Church throughout the world.
Just because the current leaders aren’t taking drastic measures in caring for their flock, doesn’t mean Christ wants us to abandon the Church and take matters into our own hands. It does mean we have to prayer harder for an increase in their wisdom, and for God to give us some solace.
I for, one, do not doubt this is one of the greatest trials that God is giving to his people in the history of the faith. We’ll see hardened soldiers and saints out of this worldly cesspit yet.
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
