“And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword / weapon.” (Revelation 6:3-4)

In August 2022 Pope Francis stated we are in World War III.

It began on Feb. 22, 2022 — the day Russian President Vladmir Putin invaded Ukraine.

It does not look or feel like Hollywood said it would. Rather, this real-life version of World War III is far more insidious and deceptive.

Putin has placed his economy on a war footing. We have not. The Russian president knows that he has unleashed World War III. Biden seemingly does not.

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?…

until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” (Revelation 6:9-11)

The United States Constitution allows individuals to practice any religion they choose. However, the austerity of this right is tested when an individual’s belief is publicly displayed. For Muslim women wearing the hijab, or headscarf, the intersection between private religious practice and its social expression is explored on a daily basis…With the rise of Islamophobia, the participants found a stronger sense to exert their right to express their religious identities. Moreover, the women interviewed…embrace their religious practice despite intersecting forms of discrimination.

All Muslims in America, even those who are American citizens, have been subjected to levels of persecution far exceeding those experienced by Christians abroad.

American Muslims have been subjected to a multibillion-dollar securitisation effort that has devastated the community.

The New York Times Magazine published a feature article profiling a former FBI agent who was imprisoned by the US for exposing the rampant abuses in the government’s domestic war on terror. In the piece, Terry Albury recounted the FBI’s systematic harassment and intimidation of American Muslims, its spying on the community, and its prosecution of many of its members under the guise of combatting terrorism.

Upon joining the FBI shortly after the attacks of September 11, 2001, Albury recalled, “It was made very clear from day one that the enemy was not just a tiny group of disaffected Muslims. Islam itself was the enemy.” Its uniquely candid and self-reflective tone notwithstanding, there was little in this account that would come as a surprise to most American Muslims.

Twenty years on from the launch of a war that would place an entire minority population under a cloud of suspicion, it is worth examining how the lives of American Muslims have been irrevocably transformed. As securitised subjects, they have existed on one of the many front lines in the global war on terror, forced to reassess their identity and core values in the name of belonging.

The development of more and more powerful weapons in WW II resulted in Europe’s devastation in a way that is now difficult to envision. Approximately 36.5 million Europeans had died in the conflict, 19 million of them civilians. In some areas, infant mortality rates were one in four. Millions of orphans wandered the burnt-out shells of former metropolises. In the German city of Hamburg alone, half a million people were homeless. Refugee camps and rationing dominated daily life.

The threat of prolonging this war with complete annihilation of Western civilization was made a stark reality by the Soviet Supreme leader Stalin. Like Hitler, an incredibly ambitious man, he frankly planned to replace the defeated Nazi’s Reich in the West and the Japanese Empire in the East with his United Soviet Socialist Republic.

Even before the guns fell silent in Europe in 1945, it became apparent to American and British planners that Russia, holding a massive advantage in land power along the Central front, could achieve his supremacy.

In 1949 the Allied and Axis Forces reconfigured into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization of Western European nations and the Warsaw Pact of Eastern European nations. A Blueprint for World War III: NATO’s Plan to Crush the Soviet Union in Battle was drawn up.

During the 1950s and 1960s, NATO and the Warsaw Pact agreed on two things regarding combat on the Central front. First, Warsaw Pact conventional forces would quickly overrun NATO forces, achieving rates of advance across Western Europe that exceeded even those of World War II. Second, both NATO and the Warsaw Pact would make plentiful use of tactical nuclear weapons, both to break up enemy formations and also to pave the way for advancing forces.

The newly formed US National Security Council releases NSC-68, a secret policy paper calling for massively increased military spending to counter the Soviet Union’s stated planned takeover of America along with the rest of the world, establishing a state of fear of a nuclear apocalypse and willingness to blindly fund secret spending by the Department of Defense, CIA, and National Security Agency.

In 1958, after the Russian satellite Sputnik shocked and awed the American public, the U.S. government launched the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
