<p>I recently read Dr. Michael Youssef&#8217;s book titled &#8220;The Third Jihad.&#8221; Born in the Middle East, he speaks with knowledge and authority about the goals and methods of today&#8217;s radical Islamist. Youssef believes that the third jihad is now present and has penetrated Europe and the United States.</p><p>The first jihad, the War of Islamic conquest, occurred between 622 and 751, and the second jihad, the Wars of Islamic expansion, from 1302 to 1922.</p><p>We must remember though all Islamist are Muslims, not all Muslims are Islamist. The radical Islamist is zealous to make Sharia law the final authority over every aspect of commerce, government and political life. Their goal is a theocratic totalitarian state governed by the principles of the Koran. Sharia law is contrary to the U.S Constitution and our system of jurisprudence.</p><p>Youssef contends that the third jihad has already begun, a holy war permeated with terror and violence but also by stealth and intimidation. He believes that most Americans do not recognize another form of jihad that is being waged against Western Civilization called &#8220;cultural jihad,&#8221; a war of subversion and infiltration. This method of war seeks to use our western laws, our freedoms and our openness against us.</p><p>Youssef believes that the new cultural jihadist have forged alliances with the political left to make inroads against Western society. What do the Islamist and the secular left have in common? Both want to overthrow traditional Western culture and Judeo-Christian values. The Islamist are using our liberal institutions against us, the welfare state, liberal support of multiculturalism and liberal rules of political correctness to carry out the destruction of Western civilization.</p><p>According to Dr. Youssef, Sharia law is a separate but parallel legal system in Great Britain and France. Sharia law is binding in English law. Political and gradual cultural jihad is working especially well in Europe. As Christianity has been dying a slow death in Europe, Islam has been rushing in to fill the spiritual vacuum.</p><p>Thousands of Muslims are building mosques and changing the culture from inside out. Refusing to assimilate or adopt the beliefs or values of European nations. Consequently, they are achieving their goal to conquer land for Islam. The invasion of Western civilization has begun, and it will continue to intensify.</p><p><strong>Bill Sarnak</strong></p><p>Harding</p><style>
