When Islam Wins Elections

We are not watching the rise of tolerance. We are watching the transfer of power.

Written by Rich Bitterman | Friday, November 14, 2025

Christian, the hour feels late. The crescent is rising in places where the cross once led. But the story isn’t finished. Let them vote. Let them build. So will we. We will rise not with violence, but with voices that cannot be silenced. Not with rage, but with resurrection. Not with fear, but with faith. Christ is not running for office. He already rules.

 

A hush fell over the city courthouse as dusk pulled its blanket across the skyline. The flag barely stirred. It felt like a funeral no one had the decency to attend.

Inside, a man placed his hand on a book. Not the Bible. The Quran. He raised his right hand. He swore his oath in English, but his loyalty was to Allah.

The cameras clicked. The crowd clapped politely.
And the church?
Silent.

The headlines moved on by morning, swallowed by football scores and weather reports. But a gate had shifted. A threshold crossed. A foreign god seated at the table, invited by the vote of a free people.

We are not watching the rise of tolerance. We are watching the transfer of power.

The Religion That Marches

Islam does not hide its ambition. It never has.

Its name means submission.

Its followers are trained from birth to bend the knee not just in prayer, but in politics, in schooling, in economics, in battle. It is not a religion tucked quietly in the soul. It is an empire masquerading as devotion.

Its prophet was no preacher in a wilderness tent. Muhammad led armies. He forged laws. He executed dissenters. He declared war on the world, then built a civilization with the bones of his enemies.

He began in a cave, claiming visions. He ended in a palace, commanding swords.

He wept over no sinners. He bled for no sheep.

And when he died, the conquest did not.

Within a century, his successors had swallowed Syria, Persia, Egypt, North Africa, and Spain. They pressed toward the Alps. They planted their crescent banner on steeples that once rang with bells.

Not by invitation. By force.

Wherever the sword reached, the mosque followed. And wherever the mosque rose, the cross fell.

A New Weapon

But the sword has changed hands. Steel has given way to paper ballots. Loudspeakers now call the faithful to prayer in the heart of Western cities while the church struggles to gather its own on Sunday mornings.

In places where the Gospel once rang, minarets pierce the sky.

Elections are no longer civic debates. They are spiritual battles. The ones who win do not merely write policy. They shape culture. They decide which god will be honored in public square and public school.

And while we argue over music styles and parking lot signage, Islam votes, organizes, advances.
