Europe’s Culture War: Secularism on the March
This piece was originally published in The Washington Times on May 23, 2007 .
by Paul Belien

In Western Europe, the fight between Christians and secularists is all but over. The secularists have won. Now, the religious vacuum left by the demise of Christianity is being filled by the Muslims. Since one cannot fight something with nothing, the European secularists are no match for Islam.

God’s Country?
Walter Russell Mead
From Foreign Affairs, September/October 2006
Summary: Religion has always been a major force in U.S. politics, but the recent surge in the number and the power of evangelicals is recasting the country’s political scene — with dramatic implications for foreign policy. This should not be cause for panic: evangelicals are passionately devoted to justice and improving the world, and eager to reach out across sectarian lines.
Walter Russell Mead is Henry A. Kissinger Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. Further reading for this article can be found at www.foreignaffairs.org/mead_reading.

ON RADIO: An Absurd Invitation
On today’s broadcast, Dr. Land comments on the absurdity of the National Cathedral’s invitation to former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami. He’s been asked to speak at the cathedral on how Abrahamic faiths can promote peace, despite his abysmal human rights record. Hear all this and your phone calls on today’s For Faith and Family.
