Tunisian vacation cut short!

No one is surprised. Another massacre in North Africa.
The great flood of migrant refugees headed for Europe (120,000 this year) is matched by almost equal numbers of European sun-worshippers who flock to the North African beaches each year.
Today about 75 of these tourists were gunned down in a Tunisian resort.
The survivors, along with many others, have fled back to Germany, France and the U.K, with a ghastly new understanding: that militant Islam is a hellish scourge upon the earth that leaves a torrent of blood where ever it goes.
Prime minister Cameron said a few minutes ago:
"We must counteract this wicked ideology with everything within our power."
Brave words.
But please define what IS the "power" that will be used to counteract this "hateful ideology"?
Does he mean the power of democracy? Or perhaps the power of reason or the power of secularism?
A faint hope.
The only power that can counteract the scourge of Islam is the superior power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Which remedy, by the way, wise old Europe long since discarded as  a fairy tale.
