The Obama Regime and its lapdog, the mass media, are talking about trying to find out how the two California terrorists got radicalized. The fact that they don’t know is an illustration of how out of touch the Obamanites are. They don’t know because their ideological presuppositions that are fundamental to their make-believe world view are based upon the insistence that Islam is the religion of peace and no real Muslim would ever commit terror. This is evidenced in Obama’s stance that ISIS (Islamic State in Syria) is not Islamic, even though ISIS claims to be Islamic.
The simple truth is this: ISIS is Islamic as were the California terrorists. The fact is that there are many branches or denominations of Islam. The main branches are the Sunni and the Shi’a and each says the other is not really true Islam and throughout history have been trying to kill each other. Within each of those two branches are different denominations, or schools or creeds, with each claiming to be the most accurate. Furthermore, within any branch of Islam you may find fundamentalist Muslims who are very devout and want to seriously follow the actual teachings of the prophet Mohamed and it is these that become radicalized, for murder and war is what Mohamed taught. The radicalized fundamentalist Muslims claim that the moderate Muslims are not true to Islam and vice versa.
This is similar to what we find in the Christian Church. Christianity consists of many denominations. Some of these denominations accept the others as Christian while others will claim they are the “one true church” and all other denominations are not really Christian. Conversely, a Christian denomination may consider that a church which claims to be the one true church is actually a non-Christian cult. Then you have fundamentalist or evangelical Christians which are those who see the Church as more than just a social club of do-gooders. These want to commit their lives to following the teachings of Jesus, worship him as “God with us,” and repent of their sins and invite him into their hearts and lives and are thus changed into more righteous and peaceful loving people, for that is what Jesus taught.
In Mormonism we also have a similar scenario. There are fundamentalist Mormons who take their religion very seriously and study closely the writings of their prophet Joseph Smith, who taught that you must practice polygamy and that the command was perpetual. Thus they take many wives, have their own church hierarchy, and although they all hold that the main Mormon denomination is apostate for abandoning polygamy, they also consider all other fundamentalist Mormon polygamist splinter groups other than themselves as also not being true Mormons. And of course, the mainstream Mormon church does not consider the fundamentalists as true Mormons and resent them being referred to as such.
Although it may be true that some branches of Islam are not accurately following Muhammad, and certain Christian denominations may not be following correctly the teachings of Jesus and one branch or another of Mormonism may not be faithfully following Joseph Smith, nevertheless from the outside looking in, from a classification point of view, all Mormons are Mormons, all Muslims are Muslims and all Christians are Christians, no matter what group they belong to. From a theological perspective you can divide them up and make a case that a certain group is not faithful to their founder, but from a classification standpoint they are all one thing.
When it comes to protecting our country against terror, it makes no sense to attempt to split theological hairs over the nuances of what a true Muslim is. That subject is for theologians. What should concern our government is identifying those who may be a threat. The way to do that is to concern themselves with scrutiny of all classes of Islam and not worry about the religious implications. That means federal law enforcement should look close at all Muslims, particularly devout or fundamentalist Muslims.
Unfortunately, the Obama regime is not doing that and the California shooting is the perfect example. The Facebook page of the female shooter in California had her Facebook page taken down by Facebook (before the shooting) because they felt that the comments and posts were too extreme and tended toward fanatical inclinations that might border on promoting terrorism. But – and here is the rub – the Obama administration had no interest in her page because Obama considers such comments as a matter of free speech and thought within Islam.
Let that sink in for a moment. Think about it. Facebook thought the page reflected possible terrorism, while the federal government had no interest in such things because of Obama’s ideological affinity and love of Islam. This means that the killings may have been prevented if it were not for Obama’s predisposition towards all things Islamic!
Now that these Islamic terrorists committed terror, we can expect Obama to claim that these two were never really true Muslims to begin with, because (in Obama’s mental fantasyland) the “Religion of Peace” never commits terrorist acts. Behold Obama’s strange delusional dichotomy: Before these Muslims committed terror Obama wanted their intentions ignored because he doesn’t want to hear anything bad about Muslims, but after they commit terror then he considers that they were never really Muslims after all.
Back to our original question. How did these two get radicalized? The answer is simple: They read the Koran, a book which clearly and blatantly promotes murder and mayhem. Yes, there was also outside influence in this case, but you can be sure that the outside influence pointed out in the Koran what Muhammad actually taught.
And what he taught was war and murder. He gave the world a choice: Follow the Koran or die by the sword. In 624 AD Mohammed began his holy wars against others. After he died in 632 AD his followers continued following his teachings: The new Muslim caliph, Abu Bakr, launched Islam into almost 1,500 years of continual imperialist, colonialist, bloody conquest and subjugation of others through invasion and war, a role Islam continues to this very day.
When I visited the cities that the Apostle Paul travelled to in his second and third missionary journeys I was amazed that in the birthplace of Christianity, there were no Christians. I met only one Christian and when I asked him what church he attended he said, “Church? There is no church anywhere in this land to go to.” I wondered as to why, in the birthplace of Christianity there were no longer any Christians. Our guide explained it to us: “The Muslims swept in and it was either renounce Christ and become Muslim, or die.”
The Crusades were the response of concerned Christians who selflessly left their families and country to come to the aid of the Christians being massacred by the Muslims. Unfortunately, they were ultimately unsuccessful, thus these countries today are filled with Muslims and Christianity is merely outlawed at best, and at worst, Christians are murdered.
The point is that Islam has been at war with the civilized world from the get-go. No one needs to puzzle over how some Muslim got radicalized. If they are Muslim, they are susceptible and the sooner we have leadership in America that recognizes the facts of history and the teachings of the Koran, the sooner we can get on track to fighting this great evil.
Furthermore, Christians need to boldly speak out as to the evil religion of Islam. It is the devil’s religion and it operates with the spirit of Antichrist. The Bible says, “Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” (1John 2:22-23). The Islamic scriptures repeatedly deny the Son of God. Here is just a small sample:
“In blasphemy indeed are those that say that God is Christ the son of Mary…They say: ‘God hath begotten a son!’… No warrant have ye for this! Say ye about Allah what ye know not?… You have uttered a gross blasphemy… Because they claim that the Most Gracious has begotten a son… the Christians call Christ the son of Allah…. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!” (Surah 5:17, Surah 10:68, Surah 19:88-92 , Surah 9:30)
Thus Islam is a religion of the spirit of antichrist. Consequently, all of those who follow it are following Satan are under his deluding influence. Islam does not accept the Son; therefore, they do not have the Father. Therefore, their “Allah” is not the God of the Bible, the creator of heaven and earth. Political correctness has no place in the pulpits of Christian churches and we must proclaim to the world that all those who follow Islam are lost and on their way to hell if they do not repent and follow Jesus.
Yes, it is true: America, indeed the whole world, has a Muslim problem. The bottom line is, to protect America, profile because profiling works. Islam is at war with us. During World War II we locked up 120,000 Japanese Americans because they were a risk to our safety. It was a sad thing, but who knows how many Americans would have died if we had not. I am not advocating locking up Muslims. But they should be watched. The mosques should be monitored, the mullah’s teachings analyzed, Muslim groups infiltrated and any suggesting anti-American terror should be immediately sent out of the country. Most certainly we should realize that it is unsafe to let any more Muslims into America at this time. If they are from Muslim countries and if they are Muslim, watch out.
All branches of Muslim have one thing in common. They all follow the Koran and other Islamic scriptures. These Muslim scriptures all teach war, murder and hate. They also have passages about peace, but the teachings of terror are also clearly evident, enough so that millions have followed it. We do not see Buddhists or Hindus or Christians being radicalized and causing world-wide problems. Only Islam and the reason is clear to anyone who can think clearly. Radical Islam does not come out of thin air. It comes from Muhammad’s writings. Granted some Muslims don’t become murderous. But as long as a group espouses to follow the Koran, they should be classified as Muslims and considered to be susceptible to becoming dangerous radical Islamic terrorists. Anyone who claims to be Islamic is admitting to following a book that teaches terrorism. If we ignore the lessons learned from Islam’s bloody history and if we foolishly ignore the reality of the Koran’s prescription for terror, we do so at our own peril.
PART II
WILL MUSLIMS CAUSE WW III
By Dr. Robert A. Morey
Introduction
When everyone is saying "peace and safety," sudden destruction will come upon them (1 Thessalonians 5:3).With the collapse of the Soviet Empire and the demise of the cold war, the threat of Communism vanished in a twinkling of an eye. The tearing down of the Berlin Wall is one of the greatest moments in human history. Russia is now so impoverished by the arms race that it will take a long time for its economy to recover.
Communism was a religion that was harsh and cruel. It murdered more people than any other ideology in the history of mankind. The atrocities committed in the name of Marx and Lenin can only be compared to Hitler and his Third Reich who fine-tuned mass murder into an art form.
In the flush of victory, the West in general and Americans in particular assumed that peace had finally been established on earth. A new world order of peace, prosperity, and unity was just around the corner. We can safely dismantle our military and disarm our missiles of mass destruction. The threat to world peace is over. We can now relax our guard and rest in the confidence that World War III will not happen in our lifetime.
An Old Enemy
Thus the world is lulled to sleep while an old Enemy of truth, justice, peace, and democracy gathers its strength for an all out offensive against the civilian populations of the West. This old Enemy has attacked the West before. Its armies invaded Europe on several occasions and even reached Vienna, Austria.
This evil force destroyed everything it touched and left only mangled corpses and burned cities behind it. Its blood thirst and genocide campaigns far exceed any atrocities committed by the Nazis and the Soviets. These enemies of all that is good and righteous can kill innocent women and children without mercy and shame.
They have stated time and time again that their great goal is the subjugation of the entire world to the civil laws, totalitarian political forms, and cultural norms dictated by their religion. Instead of religion being the tool of the state, the state is the tool of religion.
This requires the destruction of all other religions, especially Christianity and Judaism. And, throughout history, whenever they had the political means to suppress other religions, they did so with religious zeal.
This ancient enemy of freedom is the religion of Islam. It imposed itself in and beyond the Arabian Desert through wars of violence and political intimidation. It views all that is not Islam as Satan.
No Sense Whatsoever
In this light, it makes no sense whatsoever for the West to be disarming while Islam is arming. While we are dismantling our missiles and nuclear warheads, Islamic nations are buying and building intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of showering nuclear death on any city in Europe or America.
We stand in some ways like those few brave Americans and Europeans who just before World War II warned people of the Nazi threat to world peace. They took the rhetoric of Hitler at face value and saw the buildup of war and terrorism across the world. While others dismissed Hitler and his 'brown shirts' as buffoons, a few people sounded the alarm. Sad to say, their warnings were ignored. "Peace in our time" was Chamberlain's swan song and the world was lulled to sleep while the Third Reich armed itself for war.
The Same Today
We are in much the same situation today. The Muslim threat to the peace and security of America is as real as was the threat of Nazism and Communism. If God does not intervene, the day will come when a mushroom cloud will appear over a major American city signaling death and destruction unparalleled in U.S. history.
The apostle Paul warned us that if the trumpet is not blown loud and clear, the people will not prepare for war (1 Corinthians 14:8). Ezekiel tells us that we are watchmen who have the responsibility to warn the city of an approaching army of death and destruction. If we fail to warn people of the coming war with Islam, their blood will be on our hands (Ezekiel 33:1-6).
In order to convince people that Islam constitutes a clear and present danger to the peace of the world, we must first demonstrate that Islam has the will and the desire to destroy us and, second, that they now have the means to do so.
I. The Muslims Have The Will And Desire To Destroy Us.
The Qur'an commands its followers to launch jihads or holy wars of conquest to force conversions to Islam.
Fight and slay the unbelievers wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war. (Surah IX:5)At the beginning, Muhammad's armies attacked defenseless caravans during times of truce and peace. He then sent out his armies to conquer and loot small villages. Cities were later put under the sword. Ultimately, entire nations fell to the sword of Islam. Entire populations were slaughtered and great cultural treasures were either looted or destroyed. (For the documentation: see the book The Islamic Invasion, Harvest House, Eugene, OR)
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his apostle, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth (i.e. Islam), (even if they are people of the Book), until they pay the tax with willing submission and feel themselves subdued. (Surah IX:29)
Seize them and slay them wherever you find them. (Surah IV:89,91)
Whereas Jesus told his disciples to put away their swords, Muhammad commanded his followers make war in his name. Recorded in the Hadith, the second most important duty in Islam according to Muhammad, is Jihad or Holy War.
The blood lust of Islam is thus rooted in a perverted religious impulse to kill and mutilate in the name of Allah. This is what makes it so insidious and wicked. The killing of innocent men, women, and children in the name of Islam becomes a thing of praise and a badge of honor. The more you kill, the more Allah is honored. The greater the destruction, the greater the glory of Islam. Listen carefully to what the most influential leaders of Islam have said.
"We are at war against infidels. Take this message with you, 'I ask all Islamic nations, all Muslims, all Islamic armies, and all heads of Islamic states to join the Holy War. There are many enemies to be killed or destroyed. Jihad must triumph...Muslims have no alternative... to an armed Holy War against profane governments... Holy War means the conquest of all non-Muslim territories... It will... be the duty of every able bodied adult male to volunteer for this war of conquest, the final aim of which is to put Koranic law in power from one end of the earth to the other.'" - Ayatollah Khomeini , "The U.S. is the devil on this planet." World Islamic Popular CommandLest you think that these statements are just a lot of wind and noise, come with me to the World Trade Center in New York City which was blown up by the disciples of Sheik Omar. Come with me to the crash sites of airplanes that were blown out of the air by Muslims. Visit the grave sites of American citizens killed by Muslim terrorists in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.
"Death to America, the Great Satan!" - Muslim mobs in Egypt, Iran, Iraq, etc.
"Muslims must kill the enemies of Allah, in every way and everywhere in order to liberate themselves from the grandchildren of the pigs and apes who are educated at the table of the Zionists, the Communists, and the Imperialists."
- Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman
"The United States is a den of evil and fornication... I will show all Americans that they will not be happy if they do not follow Islam." - Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman
"Any doubt about the need to struggle against the U.S. means being enslaved by the Great Satan, and losing the honor and the life the Islamic Revolution has brought to this country and the whole Islamic Ummah." - Ali Akbar Mohtashemi
"It is a matter of time... In 10 years you will have quite a number of countries united under the banner of Islamic fundamentalism." - Hassan al-Turabi
"There is fury, fury everywhere ... Islam is escalating and cannot be resisted. I pray that Allah may tear apart America just as the Soviet Union was torn apart ..." - Sheik al-Tamimi
"[I] wanted to topple one [tower] into the other and kill thousands to send a message to American that they were at war." - Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the blowing up of the World Trade Center
In Washington DC, Muslims entered a home to kill everyone they found in the house. They took a nine-day-old baby boy and drowned him in the sink. They shot in the head his ten-year-old brother, his 23-year-old sister, his 25-year-old brother, and their mother.
What can we say about the slaughter of thousands of innocent Christians in Egypt, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Indonesia, and Malaysia? World War III has already begun and most Americans do not know it.
II. The Muslims have the means as well as the will to destroy us.
Islamic fundamentalists plan on putting together an Islamic empire composed of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Nigeria, the former Muslim Soviet states such as Uzbekistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other Muslim nations in Asia.
Their plan is on schedule and they are taking over country after country while the West sleeps securely with its naive dreams of endless peace and prosperity of a new world order called the Pax Americana.
Listen to politicians and other leaders trying to wake up America.
"The trial and subsequent conviction of the terrorists that bombed the World Trade Center and planned other terrorist acts should put to rest any doubt about the deadly threat to American citizens posed by radical extremists." - Henry Depippo, Federal Prosecutor of Sheik Omar Abdel RahmanWith the break up of the Soviet military complex, the Muslims have been able to buy intercontinental ballistic missiles that are capable of striking anywhere on the planet. They have nuclear bombs that can fit into a steamer trunk and it is feared that such a device may already be in this country. There is a real danger that we will one day face nuclear blackmail just as we faced Arab oil blackmail in the 1970s.
"Each day's headlines demonstrate the timeliness this important analysis of the emerging trans-national radical Islamic movement... and the growing danger that extremist Islamic elements may seek to exploit our present vulnerability to missile attack with devastating results." - Frank Gaffney, former Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security
"The agenda of these people is to attack us for what we are... It's something very hard for Americans who live in a multi-cultured and secular society to understand." - L. Paul Bremer, former head of the counter terrorism office for the State Department
"[Muslim fundamentalists] make no secret of their contempt for democratic political procedures." - Bernard Lewis, noted Middle East scholar
"The public must always remain vigilant against acts of terrorism to ensure that terrorism does not become commonplace in this country as it has in many other countries."
- William Sessions, former Director of the FBI
"Today we have no protection from even a single ballistic missile." - Ambassador Henry F. Cooper
"In short, the coming Islamic Empire will be a world power in every sense of the word, whose people will share a vibrant religion and a common Islamic culture. Like its Muslim predecessors, the Islamic Empire of the early 21st Century will also have an appetite for territorial expansion and military conquest. A modern, worldwide jihad against non-Muslim populations and societies complete with nuclear weapons promises to bring the highest casualty rates in the history of mankind. World War III, if it does come, will probably occur between the Islamic Bloc and the Western nations. It will be the deadliest war ever fought by humanity." - Anthony Dennis
"Islamic fundamentalism, like communism... is bent on the expansion of its dominion to as many corners of the world as possible." Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel
"It doesn't matter what they tell you - Islamic fundamentalism is a worldwide menace... Allah is rapidly equipping Khomeini's followers with a sword to carry out their master's wishes. He has offered Islam the fire in which the Koran says those who follow false faiths are destined to burn: nuclear weaponry. He has also provided the long-range missiles needed to use it. According to the late Imam's logic, there may be only one just and righteous thing to do: employ this technology to wipe out recalcitrant heathens like you and me." - Howard Bloom
III. What Can We Do?
A. We need to take Proverbs 27:12 seriously. A wise man foresees evil and takes the necessary steps to deliver himself while fools will go naively on and are destroyed.
B. Top priority must now be given to converting Muslims. The final answer to Islam is not bullets but Bibles, not missiles but missions. If they are converted, they will build up the world instead of tearing it down; they will love instead of hate; they will give instead of take. Islam is a spiritual deception and Satanic in its source and power. Only the power of the name and blood of Jesus can drive the demon of Islam out of the hearts and minds of Muslims.
C. We must demand that the U.S. and the UN begin to take action against those nations who persecute Christians. If Egypt will allow its Christian citizens to be butchered by Muslim fanatics, then no more American foreign aid should go to that country. If Bosnia warranted American military intervention, then how much more should we invade Sudan to bring peace to that war ravaged land?
If the U.S. wants to be the policeman of the world and invade Kuwait, Haiti, Bosnia, Somalia, and other places, then it is about time to take on the Muslims in Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. Financial blockades and other political measures can stop their genocide against the Christians in their nations.
D. We must inform our congressman that now is not the time to disarm our military. Our missiles must be reprogrammed to hit Baghdad and Kabul instead of Moscow and Kiev. Muslim nations must be warned that if they commit acts of terrorism in this country, our wrath can reach their own cities. If they start World War III, they will be destroyed.
E. We must complete President Reagan's 'Star Wars' defense system against missile attacks made against this country. We are presently unprotected from an attack launched from Iraq, Iran, or some other Muslim nation. The U.S. Constitution requires the government to protect us from our enemies. Demand that it do so.
F. Christians must begin to support financially those few soldiers of the cross who are brave enough to stand up to Islam and refute it with courage and boldness. If we do not defeat Islam now, it will defeat us later. Ask yourself this question: Do I want my children or grandchildren to live under the heel of Islamic terrorism?
Conclusion
In the light of all these things, it is time to launch a new Crusade against Islam. But this time, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but spiritual. They are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5) The sword of the Spirit is more powerful than a steel blade because it cuts to the soul and brings life instead of death. (Hebrews 4:12)
Islam can be defeated if we go forth in the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:4). We must boldly preach the gospel to Muslims everywhere including those in our own community. We must love them enough to share Christ with them.
Rise up, O men of God,
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of Kings.
