Playing RISK with the Muslim world

In the board game RISK, the goal is world domination...

Islam began in the second half of the 6th century in what is now Saudi Arabia... Over the next century, Islam would grow rapidly, sweeping across North Africa, through Spain, and into France.

In 732, Islam would meet its match in the person of Charles Martel, the de facto leader of the Franks. The Umayyad Caliphate had used its bases in North Africa and later Spain to advance into what is today France, behind the leadership of Abd Al-Rahman...

When the forces met near Tours, the heavily outnumbered Frankish forces were victorious, and at the end of the day, the Muslim threat to Christendom was over...

Muslim control in Western Europe would be limited to Iberia for the next 800 years...

Across the Mediterranean, at about that same time, the Ottomans conquered the unconquerable city, Constantinople, in 1453, and by 1653 would reach the gates of Vienna...

...  the assault on Vienna was seen as a threat to Christendom and would represent the high-water mark of Muslim incursion into Europe...

There are, however, hundreds of Islamic groups and terrorist organizations that seek to conquer the world and bring the entire planet (particularly Western civilization) into a caliphate...

In the former eras, Christians understood they were in a battle for their very survival and were willing to fight to defend their way of life against powers that wanted to destroy it...

Today... Western civilization is largely ruled by globalists who believe the West is uniquely stained by the evils of slavery and colonization. For them, contrition requires welcoming everyone, regardless of the country or culture from which they come...

Unless something changes, Western civilization will find itself swallowed up in a caliphate of its own making, and freedom, prosperity, and actual civilization will be but distant memories.
