What is truth? That seems like a difficult question to answer these days. We are living in an era where truth seems hard to define. Truth is defined as a verified or indisputable fact, principle, proposition, or the like. History shows us truths that generation after generation fail to understand and acknowledge. Winston Churchill recognized three simple truths years ago and it behooves us to learn them in our present world in which we live. Failing to learn these historical truths only makes our current world that much more dangerous than it need be.

The battle he is referring to is the battle against fascism and the likes of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Yet, this same quote fits perfectly with our current battle against Islam. This may be the most important battle we have faced since World War II and yet few people are willing to acknowledge it. Islam is the new fascism of today.
