Response: Muslim Demographics

Muslim Demographics, They Call Her Crazy Tracy

I'm too frustrated after watching these videos to write a full response, however, this ties in so closely to the "17 Children" article and their "war". The last sentence in the video "Muslim Demographics" is "This, is a call to arms".

This is a direct reference to Psalm 127, the namesake of the Quiverfull movement.

“As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath a quiver full. They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”

"They Call Her Crazy Tracy" is equally frustrating. I see Tracy as representative of the way of thinking (or more accurately, not thinking) that is gaining momentum in Canada and the United States.

The most terrifying part about the Quiverfull movement, the "call to arms" against Muslims through fertility, and the statements from Tracy, is the conviction in their beliefs.

Their unwavering certainty is the strongest weapon in their arsenal.

The other terrifying part is the lack of compassion for those they view as "the other", and that "the other" is the enemy.

These movements are waging a war against people who have no interest in a war. So, how do I, an opening minded liberal thinking woman, who believes more in spirituality than religion, resist their war...and how do you fight back when you have no interest in the fight.

It seems to me, by acknowledging this "war" of theirs they've already won half the battle.
