OH THAT ‘RELIGION OF PEACE’ – The Religion of Peace recently had a very good week. They’ve managed to help possibly 150 souls rest in peace…..or perhaps not so peacefully. The Taliban slaughtered as many as 140+ unarmed Afghan military men as they left Friday prayers and headed to lunch. Then there was the attack on Paris police by Karim Cheurfi launched right in the heart of the city, on the Champs Elysees. ISIS took the credit for that baby. Then there’s Fresno where Kori Ali Muhammad gunned down three men in the city’s downtown area. The AP reported that Muhammad yelled “God is great” when police took him into custody. But that was just an attempt to sanitize it a bit….’cause we don’t want to unfairly paint Muslims as perpetrators of terror attacks. What he really yelled out was “Allahu Akbar!” Sort of puts a whole different feel to the thing, doesn’t it? Well, as the Quran says: “So when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters, wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free. Surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (Sura 9:5) In other words: ‘Convert or die! And thus another week in the annals of The Religion of Peace!
THE MYTH OF THE CRUSADES – We hear it from Islamic spokesmen all the time. We hear it from their pro-Muslim allies and apologists on the Left. ‘The Crusades! The Crusades! It all started with the Crusades.’ And every anti-terror action is a ‘New Crusade,’ with all its attendant overkill and violence. Listen, let’s be clear about some things. Yes, there was a whole lot to be ashamed of when it comes to the Crusades. The “Christian” Crusaders engaged in some horrible acts. But the reason the Crusades were undertaken was strictly defensive. This was not unfounded Islamophobia. Since the days of Mohammed, Muslims had been expanding their ‘Religion of Peace’ with the sword for hundreds of years. There war cry was ‘Convert or die!’ The true nature of Islam was visible to the world since its inception. [It seems it is only the purposefully blind Liberal apologists who find it impossible to absorb the truth.] Raymond Ibrahim explains that Christian thinkers, observing the formative years of Islam “concluded that Muhammad was a (possibly demon possessed) false prophet who had very obviously concocted a creed to justify the worst depravities of man—for dominion, plunder, cruelty and carnality.” Thomas Aquinas wrote that Mohammed “seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh urges us ….[and] forced others to become his follower’s by the violence of his arms.” Marco Polo observed: “According to their doctrine, whatever is stolen or plundered from others of a different faith, is properly taken, and the theft is no crime…. These principles are common to all Saracens.” Alexis de Tocqueville offered this: “I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad.” Finally here’s a word from Winston Churchill. “Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities—but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.”[i] At bottom the issue is this. Islam rejects the saving power of Jesus Christ the Son of God and His atoning death and Resurrection. Any system that does is by definition a false religion. Islam expressly denies the Sonship of Chirst. 1John 1:23 spells out the consequences. “No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.” (ESV) see atpministry.com
NORTH KOREAN THREATENS HAWAII – On Thursday, April 26th President Trump summoned the entire Senate to the White House for a briefing on the North Korean threat. One of the pieces of new information that was revealed was that Pyongyang was switching from liquid fuel to solid fuel to power their ballistic missiles, thereby increasing their range significantly. The increased range puts Hawaii under threat from the North. Admiral Harry Harris, head of the US Pacific Command told the Senators “Kim Jong-Un is clearly in a position to threaten Hawaii today.” He strongly recommended deploying missile interceptors in the islands. He described the status quo as “sufficient to protect Hawaii today, but it can be overwhelmed. Somewhere, we would have to make a decision about which missiles to take out, and that’s a hard decision.” The US is just days away from setting up its THAAD anti-missile system in South Korea. THAAD stands for Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense. That deployment is opposed by both Russia and China. It is capable of taking out short-range, as well as intermediate and medium range missiles in flight.[ii]
31,000 SCIENTISTS SAY ‘NAY’ TO MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING – Despite having had to sit through a trailer for another Al Gore propaganda flick at a movie theater telling us that man-made global warming is real and that anyone that opposes it is a deranged Neanderthal liar with his pants on fire, the evidence is NOT compelling to much of the scientific community. Now I know that Al Gore and his cronies report that 97% of scientists believe it is true. However, Natural News reported that as of August of 2016 “more than 31,000 American scientists (to date) who have signed a petition challenging the climate change narrative and 9,029 of them hold PhDs in their respective fields.” In fact, there has been no real warming trend for close to two decades. Many scientists are recognizing that fluctuations in the climate are due in large part to solar cycles and activity. Natural News further reported that “in 2014 – a year that was touted as being “the hottest ever” in the Earth’s history – there were record amounts of ice reported in Antarctica, an increase in Arctic ice, and record snowfalls across the globe.”[iii]
