While I would certainly never recommend anyone copy ISIS, I think it's important to note that at their core, modern leftists are sadistic cowards to a man and womyn - ever eager to attack targets they deem soft, but quick to retreat in the face of actual resistance. I would point to the example of all those Antifa thugs getting sent running when the cops can't protect them or Kyle Rittenhouse putting an end to the Summer of Love with three bullets, but since this is a Canada thread, I will instead say that Trudeau (a 'man' who instantly fled his own capital and disappeared for weeks on end when confronted by truckers honking in its streets) exemplifies this better than most. Literally the only thing keeping said truckers from overthrowing the government in those first days after Trudeau fled Ottawa was their own niceness and continuing willingness to abide by the law: the cops couldn't have gotten them out of the streets without their cooperation, even after a month, and our military is in such extreme disrepair that they'd be of no use in rooting a determined enemy out of a Canadian city. (And for all that, in the end the Freedom Convoy still got what they wanted - an end to COVID restrictions - anyway.)Christians trying to copy militant Islam would be a horrible mistake, because it would only serve to prove the Leftists right, and give them an excuse to crack down on other Christians. They would not start shitting themselves the way they do with Muslims, because in their heads, Islam is coded to brown people and Christianity is coded to white people, and we will see the same kind of double standard that we already see with them in everything else.
It isn't being brown that gives Muslims so much of their power: yes, leftists will fawn over them to stick it to the big bad evil straight white Christians, but as that Edmonton teacher at the start of this line of conversation reveals, the instant Muslims don't play along with progressive dogma in any way they drop hard & fast in leftists' esteem. In this regard they are no different than, for example, Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell or Larry Elder-esque blacks who stray off the plantation (in Canada, an equivalent to these guys would be Leslyn Lewis, a major leader of our Tories' social conservative wing) or Asians who just want to work hard & make a living.
The only meaningful difference which keeps progs from bullying, canceling, attacking, etc. Muslims as they do any other minority that steps out of line is that they aren't law-abiding and will respond to provocations not by peaceably allowing themselves to be arrested or removed by police, but with the bomb and machete. I suspect a similar fear of violent reprisal also plays at least as much of a role in leftists' attitude toward black criminals as their own racial fetishes. The globalist respects nothing and nobody, not even xirself, but they do genuinely fear strength and its application.
Leftists already believe the mere existence of Christians is violent oppression: there is no use for any Christian to appeal to whatever good nature they might possess. They are already deploying the full force of the state against Christians, arresting them and freezing their bank accounts for peaceful protest (whether it be against drag kids or COVID restrictions, both have happened here). When the Christians' incredible patience has been worn down to a snapping point, and even the cops flee from their explosion of wrath in terror, and no longer respond to orders to crack down on Christian protests (whether peaceful or 'peaceful') - that's when you'll start seeing a cultural sea change in Christianity's favor; at least here in Canada, where Christianity still being a (dwindling) majority is one of the very few threads we still have to the idea of a Canadian nation at all in what is otherwise a wholly rootless, acultural globalist colony.
The only question in my mind is not whether this will happen eventually (you can only push people so hard before they snap) but whether our establishment is smart enough to understand this eventuality and will try to relieve some pressure before it explodes (maybe by letting the Tories win our next election and reverse Trudeau's most egregious bullshit, for example). I doubt it though, even before the Trudeaus our Laurentian establishment's infamously insular and so arrogant that even Lucifer would tell them to be more humble, and they must have become like 10,000x worse since PET.
