Christian traditions being pinched between a hostile growing Islamic population and a hostile leftist secularism

If you want to see the future of America, just look at Germany

The situation in Germany this Christmas should be a wake-up call to every American city that has a growing Muslim population along with Democrats in control of its governing apparatus.

Overath, a town of 27,000 people in North-Rhine Westphalia near Cologne, recently announced this year’s Christmas market has been canceled. The security cost required to protect visitors from potential terrorist attacks exceeds the budget of the event organizer. The local city government refuses to step in and cover any of the expenses, according to Rheinische Post. Christians, or at least those who still profess to be such, seem all too ready for capitulation.

The European Conservative writes:

“The Overath market will not be held as ever more frequent stabbings, car attacks and bomb threats during the holiday period have made security too costly.”

Thomas Kolbe, in an article at Zero Hedge, notes that since 2015, when Angela Merkel embarked on a full-blown open-borders policy, Germany and the other European countries have been slowly committing national suicide.

“The mass influx of young men from predominantly Islamic countries has deeply shattered the population’s sense of identity” and security, he writes.

Of course we didn’t need Kolbe to tell us that. I predicted it in articles as far back as 2014 and did a deep dive on the topic in my 2017 book, Stealth Invasion, which got banned by Amazon a few years later. I was also blackballed from the mainstream media after publishing that book. Nobody wanted to hear the truth about what mass Islamic immigration means for Western civilization.

Now that it’s becoming more obvious, to the point where even mainstream politicians like Chancellor Friedrich Merz have begun speaking out about the changing face of German cities, I don’t hear any apologies coming my way from Amazon or anyone else.

Even after deadly Islamist attacks, including when Berlin’s most important city square was hit in 2016 with 12 victims, followed by the Solingen festival stabbing in 2023 with three dead, or the bombing plot at the Magdeburg Christmas market last year, Germany still refuses to confront militant Islam pressing into Europe.

The list of Islamist attacks in Germany and Europe is a long one. Kolbe notes that when traditional festivals like Christmas markets are only possible behind heavy police presence and concrete barriers to stop jihadist vehicle attacks, it shows how intimidation of secular Western society has become wildly successful.

The cancelation of this year’s Christmas market in Overath is just the latest scene in a decades-long motion picture horror show. High security costs to protect visitors from terrorism make it impossible to open. The same is true in Dresden and many other German cities.

One would think they’ve reached a tipping point, where people rise up and say, no more! We’re taking our country back!

But there is no sign of courage or serious public resistance in sight.

In Overath, Islamists have managed, without any real resistance, to push aside a piece of tradition and communal life.

The pathetic renaming of Christmas markets into so-called Winter Markets represents a submission to Islam. A needless capitulation. Of course, this is where the interests of the Islamists and the secularists intersect, as the godless left has always hated Christmas and sought to replace it with a generic holiday like “winter break” or some nonsense like that. We’ve seen the same transformation in our public schools in America over the last 30 years, where Easter/Pascha and Christmas have been renamed so as not to offend the non-Christian faiths or those with no faith at all.

Germany is trapped in an identity crisis and a cultural meltdown. It’s like they no longer even care. Can the U.S. be far behind in this process of de-Christianization?

New York City, with the election last week of a Marxist Muslim mayor, is on the same trajectory. As are many other American cities, like Minneapolis, Dearborn. Hamtramck, Seattle and so many others that live largely under the boot of Islam on the one hand, and the cultural Marxists on the other.

At what point does the West wake up? And will it be too late? That’s a question to ponder as we head into the Christian holiday of Christmas. Don’t take it for granted, because it’s definitely under attack on more than one front.

I expect the pressures of this pincer movement to crowd out Christian traditions to intensify in the years to come. I would love to hear your suggestions on what the proper Christian response should be, so leave your ideas in the comments below. But please don’t tell me that all of today’s Christian holidays are mere recreations of old pagan celebrations, as I think that misses the point of what’s happening all together.

  1. A member of an extreme right wing group of terrorists was arrested in Ireland for planning to blow up a Mosque.

    There was video evidence not to mention that the Gardaí (Irish police), found pipe caps, six litres of hydrogen peroxide, plumbers’ putty, and “manifesto” documents in his car. These are materials which are used to make a DIY explosives.

    Perhaps I should mention his name ;

    Karolis Peckauskas

    The court heard Mr Peckauskas, a Lithuanian national who has been in Ireland since 2006,

    So, this man who is an immigrant, had planned to attack a Mosque.

    It’s obvious that the far right are attacking the Muslim community for reasons other than the immigration problem.

    And yes , he is unemployed just like the yobs who attack hard working Muslims on their way to their work place

    In Ireland, Muslim immigrants are being attacked on their way to work by unemployed yobs who identify as nationalists but who live off the taxpayer and contribute nothing to society. Muslim’s businesses are also being vandalised.

    This is utterly despicable behaviour which is targeted only at the Muslim community for obvious reasons.

    1. In the US, I think most of the problems caused by immigrants are from Hispanics, not the muslims who come from traditional societies. I agree that careless immigration policy is bringing in people who are not compatible with US society with the purpose of destabilizing the general population. That is the fault and purpose of our leadership, not the muslims who were kicked out of their own lands by us. For instance, Somalians are immigrating here and while these people do exude alienation and hostility (the ones I’ve come across), but how did they get here in the first place? Did the US airlift them here as it did with other refugees?? We keep conflict going in their country to depopulate the area. This year alone, the US bombed Somalia over 90 times. Why??

      1. Yes, almost 100 percent of the Somalis in America came compliments of the UN/US State Department refugee program, beginning around 1990. I wrote about this program and the Somali presence here in detail in my book Stealth Invasion.

  2. God says in Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you (Abraham, who was the father of Isaac, who was the father of Jacob, whose name was changed by God to Israel) and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” Is Israel perfect? No, no nation is perfect. But God declared Israel to be His chosen people forever, and I choose to believe God’s word and bless His people.

    1. Genesis 12:3

      “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

      Hello Amy

      We are now in the new testament age. The eternal promises to Abraham are fulfilled in Christ for those who believe in Him. This includes both Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians.

      The true children of Abraham are those of faith , both Jews and Gentile.

      “7Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

      8And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

      9So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.”

      Ethnicity does not make someone a child of God

      Jesus demonstrates this in John 8:44, when he says to the unbelieving Jews

      “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.”

      John also demonstrates this in Matthew 3:9

      “And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.”

      The current State of Israel is antichrist. It continues to reject Jesus Christ and even legislates against Christian Jews who are treated very badly by the unbelieving Jews.

      Zionists are also antichrist. They seek to establish a Zion on this earth. When the true Zion is in heaven. Hebrews 12:22–23

      Christ will not dwell on this earth ever again . Instead he will dwell in the new Jerusalem which will be located on the new earth after this earth has been totally destroyed. 2nd Peter 3;10-13

      The temple in the new Jerusalem will not be built of stone because we are told in Revelation 21 that God, himself will be the temple.

      And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

      Paul talks of a time when God will turn his attention back to Israel but that has not happened yet. Because if it had happened then Israel would not be continuing to reject the Messiah , Jesus Christ.

      Israel can only be blessed through Jesus Christ. For as long as they continue to reject him, they cannot receive the blessings of God which can only be found through faith in Jesus Christ.

      I’ll finish by saying that the bible clearly teaches that Israel will host the antichrist ‘man of sin’ , who will sit in the temple , posing as God. 2nd Thessalonians 2

      I believe that the current Zionist government of Israel is Satanic and that current events are in preparation for the setting up of the reign of the antichrist ‘man of sin’.

      So, should I curse Israel?

      Nope! because it’s not in my remit to curse anybody. But I certainly will not bless the actions of Israel which I believe are part of the Satanic agenda which I’ve mentioned.

      I believe that as a Christian , I should speak out and oppose the current Zionist State of Israel.

      I’m still posting regular weekly ‘shorts’ videos on YouTube where I’ve recently uploaded two videos about the ‘third temple’.

      1. “Christ will not dwell on this earth ever again” – Revelation 19 shows Jesus coming to earth to strike the nations and rule them with a rod of iron. Revelation 20 shows Jesus ruling and reigning on earth for a 1000 years with the Martyrs…

        Revelation 20:4-6 – And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

      3. Revelation 19 clearly shows Jesus returning to earth.

        Revelation 20 clearly shows martyrs ruling and reigning with Jesus – if not on earth then where else would they rule and reign?

        Revelation 21 clearly shows the New Jerusalem on earth. The kings are referenced by their location…Revelation 21:24 – And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.

        Revelation 21 clearly shows that the New Jerusalem has 12 foundations with the names of the 12 Disciples, and 12 gates with the names of the 12 tribes of Israel.

        My questions to you are:

        1. Do you believe in the doctrine of dispensationalism?
        2. Do you believe in the pre trib rapture?

      4. You are missing the point.

        Christ will not dwell on this earth ever again

        The reason he raptures his saints at his second coming is because this earth is about to be totally destroyed. The church will not be on this earth whilst God’s wrath is being unleased which is when the trumpet judgements will be sounded. The tribulation of the church should not be confused with the period of wrath which is when God will avenge his saints (2nd Thessalonians chapter 1)

        Christ will reign with his saints in heaven until the new earth is created. Then he will dwell with his saints on the new earth.

        Did you even bother to fully read my comment to Amy or to check out the videos. They are only 3 minutes long.

        Dispensationalism is a Satanic doctrine which misinterprets the scriptures in order to suit the antichrist agenda.

        The pretribulation rapture is another false assumption. It’s not in the bible.

        I do not believe in dispensationalism or the fake ‘pretribulation rapture’ . I believe in God’s truth.

      5. I believe we have both correctly divided the Word for the most part. My apologies, I am not in the habit of watching videos recommended by fellow commenters. Your comments on dispensationalism and the pre trib rapture are consistent with what I believe the Word shows. Zechariah 13 and Romans 11 show a remnant Israel being prepared for their Saviour, and while I agree that the current Israel is not that remnant, Zechariah 13 clearly shows the destruction of 2/3rds of Israel and the refining of the remnant. I believe that Jesus physically returns to physical Israel, and that the martyrs (of whom I pray to be one, with the Lord’s strength) will rule and reign with Him for the Millennium. However, being an event that will only happen after the next period of satanic insanity, it isn’t really anything more than academic at this stage. Are we being prepared to endure to the end? Will we be refined in the fire, just as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were? Will Jesus be with us in the fire? Will we count the cost to be shown worthy to our soon appearing Conquering King? I believe the answer is yes to all of the above…bless you…

  3. Sounds more like a law and order issue. It didn’t help at all that Germany’s and Europe’s elites opened their borders to peoples who are incompatible with their own culture. The elites want chaos in the streets, people fighting each other over religion or whatever. Because when things really get awful, then it suits their purpose to impose marshal law forever supposedly to “keep the peace” that they had destroyed with their policies. It’s all about control.

    Somehow law and order is not enforced against migrant lawbreakers in Germany. Just like the law is not much enforced here against lawbreaking in general, especially involving minorities. People are allowed to riot in the streets with impunity if it serves someone’s political interests. The more fear and chaos the better for the criminal elements in government. I’m reminded of the incident that happened during a “Back the Blue” event in Denver several years ago. Those decent, sincere law and order people who were honoring the police got attacked by Antifa. The Denver police just stood by and let it happen. What gives? (Hint: that’s what happens when local police get federalized). When mob trouble erupted in my city during Ferguson and again a couple of years afterwards, where did the police spend all their efforts setting up defensive perimeters?? Not in any neighborhood or business area, but only around the government buildings. They would protect themselves. The shop owners I talked to were dumbfounded and said, “it looks like we’re being left on our own.” Yep.

    And over many decades, we’ve gotten the message that we have no right to defend ourselves, and if we do, we’re the one prosecuted and thrown in jail. I remember overhearing an elderly black janitor discuss with a co-worker about a vandalism incident by black thugs he witnessed that day. He said: “The problem is, people today just accept it. Nothing is done about it. It’s just accepted.” That’s where we are as a nation. We accept things that 50-60 years ago would never have been tolerated for a minute.

    Seems like Germany sure got that message, too. Yes, like here, it was elite types that imposed it upon them. Germany’s past Nazi Holocaust history is held up to them constantly to shame them into submission, so that they don’t fight back or get prosecuted if they do. Because to be against the muslims is ironically seen as an underlying form of anti-antisemitism.

    Most muslims are law-abiding and have immigrated here legally. Many are citizens. They just want to live their lives in peace, too. Yet they are often a traumatized and uprooted people and with any immigrant population, they’ll have more than their share of malcontents and trouble-makers. Just remember, that in America 150 years ago, large numbers of Catholics immigrated here. They were not at all welcomed by the Protestant majority who saw these “papists” as hordes of the anti-christ. It wasn’t until 1960 that a Catholic became president and his religion was a major bone of contention during that election.

    So now we’re supposed to be afraid of the muslims in our midst. Where is our courage?? Sounds like too many American Christians simply want to “rapture” out of this. We’re far from being besieged at the walls of Constantinople 1453, and yet so many already want to run away. Where the Christian witness? Where are our demonstrations of faith?? Why don’t we defend our Christian culture and traditions (yes—these matter)?? Maybe we should ask ourselves what we really believe, if anything.

  4. There can be no doubt that mass immigration into Europe is a threat. But this threat is not due to the religion of Islam. It’s due to the pressure on housing and other services which is causing civil unrest.

    Leo , you are feeding into the ‘globalist’ agenda by stoking tensions in this tinderbox which the globalists are creating for that very purpose.

    You are stoking hatred based on people’s fears. It reminds me of pre war Germany when the Jewish community was marginalised and considered to be a threat to Germany’s national and religious identity. Innocent Jews suffered atrocities with a nod from the established ‘Christian’ churches at that time.

    This terror which was inflicted on the Jewish community started with the likes of you, Leo.

    The Zionists would be so proud of you. They stoked hatred against Islam with the 9/11 false flag operation and you’ve taken the bait. They stoke mistrust against the Islamic community as a misdirection tactic when in fact the real villains are the Zionists.

    Leo, before you accuse me of doing the same as yourself, I would point out that I’m highlighting the REAL threat to the American nation as evidenced by the way American politicians and decision makers are coerced by Zionist organisations such as AIPAC, through bribery and manipulation. AIPAC, has been highly effective in shaping bipartisan support for Israel in Congress, costing America billions of dollars and the lives of young American soldiers and innocent civilians in the Middle East.

    But Leo would rather report on a decision made by city councillors in some town in Germany and in true right wing paranoia , report this, as a Muslim threat to the world.
    The councillors concerns were about terrorists in general. Let’s not forget that the far right produces it’s own fair share of lunatic killers. Such as
    Anders Breivik’s massacre in Norway and the Charleston church shooting in the U.S. etc.

    As someone who actually lives in Europe , I would be more concerned about the ‘Roma’ community who are prolific thieves and benefit scroungers and who breed like rabbits. They put a strain on the services unlike the Muslim community who are sober honest and hardworking.

    Hitler tried to rid Germany of the Romani Gypsies. He associated them with criminality and social deviance.
    I don’t agree with the way he went about it, but it shows how much of a burden on society they were, even then.

    With regard to expressed safety concerns and the Christmas market

    “data shows that Muslim communities in the U.S., and Germany, are among the least involved in violent crime and extremist violence, ”

    But the extreme right would rather attack Muslims and deface their mosques etc. thanks to the paranoid rhetoric being pumped out by Leo Hohmann and others.

    Again, I find myself having to defend the countless innocent Muslims who are contributing to society and who should not be vilified because of their Muslim faith.

  5. We as Christians need to understand the difference between Christianity and Islam and be able to articulate the differences. With this we need to boldly proclaim Jesus Christ as the only way of salvation and Allah as a false god and Mohammed a false prophet.

    The two are at odds with each other and there is no “all roads lead to God” as a majority of leftists think. No, and ecumenism is the big lie that has been and will be pushed aggressively in the days ahead. My advice is “to study to show yourselves approved” and be ready with this nonsense.

And, praise God Almighty, He will!!! America, like so many other parts of the world, is full of reprobate minds given over by God and literally incapable of thinking clearly. How else can you explain what we are witnessing. Anyone who has not already lost their mind, literally, understands what open borders lead to and how the Islamists leverage it. And yet, people continue to put those kinds of policies in place. This is a spiritual battle being played out on planet earth. God will use Mamdani to drive His people Israel home from the west, while Trump will be meeting at the White House with the terrorist Al-Shaara this week in a likely attempt to strengthen relationship with Syria. What a messed up world we live in. Meanwhile the Antichrist is going to ultimately get his seven years, and by the looks of things, probably in fairly short order. I, for one, cannot wait for our Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus Christ, to return for His Bride, the Church, and take us to Abba’s house for the shabua (period of seven) of Daniel’s 70th week. So done with this wretched world. I will continue to work in the fields as a watchman to take as many people with us as are willing to come along, but the cry of my heart is Maranatha!!!

      In order to get around this, the Antichrist Dispensationalists invented the fictitious ‘great parenthesis’. They pretend that God’s prophetic mysteriously stopped, in a vain attempt to make their false narrative fit. But dispensationalists are happy to believe a lie. They are antichrist and have no love for the true Jesus Christ whom they reject in favour of the antichrist and his Satanic agenda.

Exemplifying Christ-like obedience to God’s life-saving Word caused Daniel to be cast into a lions den and his three brethren being cast into a fiery furnace (Daniel 3:12-).  Like Daniel and his brethren, the Acts 2 Church lived whole-heartedly 100% for the sovereign Lordship of Jesus alone, not for Nebuchadnezzar, Caesar, Big Brother—Uncle Sam…secular culture, tradition and Masonic-Socialist influence are irrelevant…the wise virgins in Christ’s holy-theocratic Bride joyfully take up their daily cross and grow stronger in faith-building times of persecution. Unlike Daniel and his cross-bearing brethren, the foolish virgins from Christ’s Bride patriotically join Harlot Babylon’s democratic (501c3) Laodicean Church that is compliantly held captive within the Marxist UN Beast’s abominable Socialistic Security System, and they disappear down the pleasure seeking Fabian Broadway leading to destruction (Matthew 25:3).
