Glenn Beck has just release a must-see documentary entitled "Rumors of War III: Target U.S." It goes into tremendous and terrifying detail about the threats presented by Islamists and how the United States government is actually encouraging the spread of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. A series of experts from the media, law enforcement, politics, and the military discuss some of the deadliest threats to American security, many of which I have discussed previously on The New Knighthood, including Iran and Hezbollah's connections on the southern border.
Go to this link: http://www.glennbeck.com/rumorsofwar/. GBTV is a paid subscription site, but they are offering a two-week free trial so as many people as possible can get this information. If you have friends or loved ones who are not yet awake to these threats, this would be a great way to open their eyes. If you are disturbed by the current dangers Islamists present to America (and the rest of the Western world), this documentary will provide a great depth of information in a very reasonable amount of time.
Watch the video. Spread the message. Take a stand.
Better Dead than Dhimmi!

Gone Fishin'
Greetings to all of my faithful readers! For the next few weeks my schedule is going to be consumed with another project that I am working on. As a result, there will be no new posts during this time. Of course, in the event of some major event I will do my best to give you all my take on the situation. I will also do my best to put up a new poll every Monday during this short break, so keep coming back to check for that. Thanks for reading The New Knighthood. I will see you all (metaphorically speaking) in three weeks.

Happy Easter
In a world filled with so much darkness and suffering, it can be easy to fall into pessimism. At particular risk are those of us who pay close attention to the forces of evil at work in the world. Vigilance carries a price tag, and too often people with good intentions end up bitter, angry, and vengeful because all they focus on is the injustices in the world. But we must remember that there is more to the world than death and despair. There is light in the world as well as darkness, and if we spend too much time looking into the darkness we may end up suffocating in it. If we simply labor against the darkness, then we labor in vain. Trying to stop moral darkness is as pointless as trying to push physical darkness out of your house with your bare hands. You do not remove darkness, but rather replace it with light. We must understand the light as well as the dark if we stand a chance of reflecting it into the shadows.
Those of us who are Christians serve the Light of the world. We stand not just against the forces of evil but for our Redeemer. The day we set aside to remember Christ's resurrection seems as good a time as any to discuss this topic. The real story of Easter is that the hardest part is already finished. Jesus sacrificed himself on a cross and rose three days later so that the power of sin and death could be broken forever. Any challenges we face, from personal demons to conflicts between entire civilizations, pale in comparison.
Persecution is to be expected. Christ told the Church as much in John 15:18. But to become bitter or seek revenge is to miss the entire point of Christ's sacrifice. He didn't give his life so that the sinless people could have eternal life but so that the sinful and corrupt could be redeemed and made new. Even for those of you who are not Christians, the point still stands: people are capable of change. That is the entire reason we promote free will and individual liberty. It is often the enemies of truth become its greatest champions. Examples range from the Apostle Paul to former Communists like David Horowitz. It is the ideology and the evil actions promoted by that ideology that we must hate, but we must be willing to forgive our enemies. After all, if we do not expect to convince anyone of the rightness of our cause, why do we expend so much effort trying?
So happy Easter everyone. And God bless.

Tragedy in Toulouse
I intended to do this post last week, but I was plagued by technical issues. This may no longer be breaking news, but it still bears careful examination.
Once again, a tragic shooting has rocked Europe. On March 19th, a gunman started shooting at a Jewish school, resulting in the deaths of three children and one adult male, the father of two of the young victims. Investigators discovered that the same weapon was used in the murders of three French paratroopers in two previous attacks, both quick hits in which the attacker used a motorcycle to escape into traffic after the shooting. Authorities closed in on the man, Mohamed Merah, believed responsible for the murders. This led to a 32-hour standoff between Merah and the police which ended with a police assault on his apartment. Two police officers were wounded in the firefight and Merah was killed by police while trying to flee the scene. Attention has shifted to Merah's brother Abdelkader, who police accuse of assisting Mohamed's rampage.
This incident has brought attention to two related phenomenon in Western Europe: the increasing radicalization and self-imposed isolation of Muslim immigrant communities and the drastic rise in anti-Semitism. As the Muslim populations within countries like France and England have exploded (no pun intended) over the past few decades, they have grown increasingly bold in their interactions with their fellow countrymen. From Sharia courts in London to the so-called "Sensitive Urban Zones" of Paris and other major French cities, the idea of Islamic superiority is on the march. Islamic "civil rights" groups have been popping up like crazy in the West, primarily to distort the media message and label anyone seeking an honest examination of the facts as a hate-monger. One of these groups, the Forsane Alizza group, has faced intense examination from French law enforcement because of alleged connections to Merah's attacks. Nineteen members were taken into custody, and the interior minister reported that stockpiles of assault rifles were found while searching these suspects' houses. This suggests that further attacks, possibly coordinated strikes by multiple gunmen, were planned. Counterterrorism experts have also warned that more so-called "lone wolf" attacks are on the way.
As ethnic tensions increase, anti-Semitism has rocketed in popularity. A recent report by the Anti-Defamation League found what they called "disturbingly high" surges of anti-Semitism in Austria, France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The study shows that high percentages of the population, in many cases the majority, believe that Jews are not loyal enough and that they have too much power, particularly in business and finance. Please don't misunderstand, I am not saying that Muslims are the perpetrators of this. Far from it, many non-Muslim groups actually use Muslim militancy to call for crackdowns on Jewish populations. One French schoolteacher aroused controversy when she asked her class to pay respects to the murderer, saying his connection to al-Qaeda had been fabricated to frame him (I don't know what excuse she has for his armed standoff with police). As various evil factions, whether Communist, fascist, or Islamist, gain power and create chaos, we will see a sharp increase in assaults against European Jews. As popular novelist Andrew Klavan says, the nice thing about anti-Semitism is "it lets you know exactly who the dirtbags are." By observing such a rapid rise in anti-Semitism over the last few years, it shows a disturbing trend toward dirtbag-ism that cannot be ignored.
The loss of life in these attacks is tragic, but it would be even more tragic to simply observe such violence and then return to our lives believing that it is an anomaly that will not be repeated. Also, be on the lookout for a violent response of some kind like the Norway murders last year by one of the other major groups of bad guys trying to take power. The game is being rigged as we speak. Innocent, ignorant people will find themselves forced to take sides in a conflict between different sides of the same totalitarian coin. To quote the supercomputer from WarGames, "the only winning move is not to play." Look out for anyone trying to present you with a false choice, and ask the questions they don't want to answer.
