God's Wake Up Call in the Gulf of Mexico
Make My Day! Part Two:
The Sudden Impact of the Ground Zero Mosque debate.
Mark Siffer
August 31 2010 
Last weeks From The Ark podcast set off a firestorm of debate. We have comments from Alan Keyes in response to my questions about the Founding Fathers. Also, we have audio from Islamic expert Bernard Lewis, author of numerous books, including "The Crisis in Islam" and "What Went Wrong." Bernard Lewis was a guest on Steel on Steel.
This is a hot topic that creates strange alliances. "Conservatives" and "Liberals" actually find areas of agreement while congruently folks from both camps are considered "defectors" because of their views. The sound-bite driven corporate media has decieved millions into the viewpoint that America has a duty to invade the entire world, if needed, to rid the world of "terrorism". I have screamed since 9-11 that imposing a draconian set of rights-shredding "Patriot Acts" to go after "terrorists" may have sounded like a good idea to some who believed the Bush Administration was only going to go after "the evil doers". But what happens when Bush is NOT the President? The big question one needs to ask is WHO DEFINES TERRORIST?!?
Find out what the Barry-Hussein-Soetoro-Obama Administration considers to be "terrorist" groups on the latest From The Ark podcast.
The DOJ has issued Investigating Terrorism and Criminal Extremism –Terms and Concepts, a 120-page propaganda addendum described as “a glossary designed primarily as a tool for criminal justice professionals to enhance their understanding of words relating to extremist terminology, phrases, activities, symbols, organizations, and selected names that they may encounter while conducting criminal investigations or prosecutions of members of extremist organizations.”As I warned years ago; Christians and Contitutionalists are the ones the "Patriot Act" weapons will be used on. We will look into the latest DOJ report and reveal the shocking details later.
But for now let's get back to Boy George and his comments on September 16, 2001. After all, shouldn't Americans support our troops and go after "the evil doers". Remember after 9-11 we heard President George Bush say.
"And we'll be alert. Your government is alert. The governors and mayors are alert that evil folks still lurk out there. As I said yesterday, people have declared war on America and they have made a terrible mistake."
"My administration has a job to do and we're going to do it. We will rid the world of the evil-doers," he said.
Please note he deftly did NOT mention islam. The President made an all encompassing statement that could include ANYONE who would commit such a crime. The Patriot Act also never mentions islam. Bush also stated "We will rid the WORLD of the evil-doers."
Excuse me... THE WORLD?!!!? The crimes took place in on American soil. President Bush made this statement just five days after the attack. Congress had not (nor has not to this day) made a declaration of war. If we are to believe the early reports, fifteen of the nineteen hijackers were from Saudi Arabia! Why has there been no consequences to the Saudi Kingdom? Could the answer be the close ties between the Saudi Royalty and the Bush crime family? In an April 20, 2004 article from CBS news we find the following:
The U.S.-Saudi relationship dates back to when President Franklin D. Roosevelt met with the founder of the modern Saudi state, King Abdulaziz ibn Saud, in 1945 aboard a ship in the Suez Canal.
The Americans offered security and the Saudis offered oil. Neither country has been perfectly happy since. But the reality of foreign relations is that policy is often based on the best of bad options. Presidents since F.D.R., have seen this agreement as just that.
The relationship peaked under the presidency of George H.W. Bush. This is both due to personal and financial ties, but moreover because the Saudi royal family supported (was even grateful) for the first Iraqi war, when the United States ousted Iraqi troops from Kuwait.
Both then-president Bush and the current president have had personal and deep financial ties with the Saudi royal family. Author and journalist Craig Unger documents $1.4 billion that has “made its way” from the Saudi royal family to “entities tied” to the Bush family, according to Unger’s controversial book "House of Bush, House of Saud.”
Unger contends that the documented oil holdings and affiliations of both Bush presidents has led to a policy of inaction in the post-Sept. 11 world.
“There is a fundamental piece of logic missing in the American conversation ... the Saudis played a big role in terrorism, that the Bushes have very, very close to the Saudis both in business terms, personal terms, and in public policy. And it has a resulted in a non-cracking down in the Saudi role on terror,” said Unger, who lives only blocks from where the World Trade Center once stood.
“They have turned a blind eye to the Saudi role,”
As documented, the Bush crime family is just one of the copacetic alliances that has continued since FDR. Even Ronald Reagan neglected to see the Saudi Kingdom as an "evil empire". "F. Gregory Gause III, a leading expert on Saudi politics and society, says U.S.-Saudi relations, which were extremely close during the Reagan years and remained good until 9/11, are cooling significantly. He says that while the Bush administration is taking political heat at home for not being more critical of Saudi Arabia, the two nations now find little common ground beyond the issues of oil and cooperation in the war on terror." Please note F. Gregory Gause III wrote the above quote in his paper for the New World Order supporting Council on Foreign Relations June 17, 2004.
As for the Soetoro-Hussein administration, Global Research reports "The Obama administration has intervened to quash a civil suit filed against Saudi Arabia by survivors and family members of victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The suit seeks to hold the Saudi royal family liable, charging that it provided financial and other support to Al Qaeda and was thereby complicit in the hijack bombings that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York and Washington DC." SAME FECES DIFFERENT COLOR.
So, if the United States government will not go after one of the world's largest sponsors of radical islamic "terror" then who IS on their list of "TERRORISM AND CRIMINAL EXTREMISM"? Kurt Nimmo, from his August 30, 2010 article on Infowars;
"The DOJ prefaces its glossary by stating that “the fact that an entry appears in this publication does not imply a connection to illegal activity,” and then precedes to connect constitutionalists to alleged cop killers.
In addition, the DOJ’s glossary attempts to criminalize people who use the terms New World Order, Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, and One World Government. The latter term, according to the DOJ — obviously under the ideological sway of the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center — is used by “some right-wing extremists” to claim “white people will be in the minority, with Jewish people ultimately controlling the world.” In short, if you believe there is an effort to establish world government, you are an anti-semitic Jew hater."
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!! In the DOJ report "TERRORISM AND CRIMINAL EXTREMISM" Christians are one of the prime targets! If you are Pro-Life, which translates "Anti-Abortion" in the report. NEVER will you hear the criminal degenerates in government or the broad-way media refer to those who love God and "His workmanship" as anything positive. In the report it simply dumps all pro-lifers into one toilet by stating;
That statement is pathetic in it's ignorance. Let's move on in alphabetical order for just a SAMPLE of what is in this outrageous and frightening report.
Do you believe like the Constitution says that money should be based on gold and silver? LOOK OUT! You may be a "terrorist!"
As if that is a threat! You see, truth is a problem for the criminal sociopathic mind! Just one of many Biblical passages concerning money;
But hey, that's tolerance for you! Just put away your Bible and SHUT UP! While we are talking about the Bible, how about this one...
Note "right-wing extremists". What about "left-wing extremists?" And what about a church that is not 501C-3? Some churches would rather have freedom to speak politically, just as they always could brfore 1954! Are they now deemed "Bogus?". Ummm yeah! Check this out:
Believe????? As if were not true! 501C-3 amounts to nothing more than government sanctioned hush money! A church under the 501C-3 can have all of it's donations be tax deductable as long as when it comes to the politcal arena it SHUTS UP! Only pagan newspapers and marxist media can endorse candidates. Churches are FORBIDDEN! So if a church wants to operate as a 508 and NOT have donations tax deductable so it can speak freely and make endorsements, it is considered an extemist or terrorist threat!
That is just a sample of some of the rancid fecal material that festoons from the vapid pus filled brains of these degenerate souls. The entire report from the DOJ is 120 pages and contains legitimate bad guys. But it pours Christians and Constitution Party members down the same septic sewer.
Speaking of the Constituition Party (I am a member and have voted that way since 2000)... ooops! I must be a terrorist!

Build A Mosque Near Ground Zero? Go Ahead; Make My Day!
Mark Siffer
August 24, 2010
Most remember Dirty Harry's famous line as he stared down a criminal thinking about firing his gun. The thought of that punk trying to shoot a hostage or police officer disgusted him to the point of ultimate reaction. Most Americans have similar disgust about a proposed mosque to be built just blocks away from the crime scene in New York at the World Trade Center on September 11 2001. A recent CNN poll states "According to the new survey out Wednesday, nearly 70 percent of all Americans oppose the controversial plan to build the mosque just blocks away from the solemn site in lower Manhattan while just 29 percent favor the construction".
Of course, I am not suggesting a Smith & Wesson response nor am I advocating violence in ANY form, but now that I have your attention plaese look at the facts! Let's examine this issue from three specific areas. More commentary and discussion can be heard in the latest From The Ark podcast.
1. What does the U.S. Constitution say about the issue.
2. Who is Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam behind the proposed Muslim community center and mosque two blocks from ground zero.
3. What is the Christian church's responsibility and what does the Bible have to say about Christians being disgusted to the point of ultimate reaction.
Part 1.
First up, the first amendment to the constitution also known as our Bill of Rights.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Thousands of books, articles, and legal briefs have been written and hundreds of court cases argued over the 219 years since the First Amendment was penned in 1791. A full explanation can be found online or in most any library. Here is a brief explanation of the establishment clause from lawbrain.com.
Prior to the American Revolution, the English designated the Anglican Church as the official church of their country. The church was supported by taxation, and all English people were required to attend its services. No marriage or baptism was sanctioned outside of the church. Members of religious minorities who failed to abide by the strictures of the church were forced to endure civil and criminal penalties, including banishment and death. Some American colonies were also ruled by persecutorial theocrats, such as the Puritans in Massachusetts.
These English and colonial experiences influenced the Founding Fathers, including Jefferson and Madison. Jefferson supported a high wall of separation between church and state. Furthermore, Jefferson, a student of the Enlightenment (an eighteenth-century philosophical movement whose members rejected traditional values and embraced rationalism), opposed religious influence on the business of government. In turn, Madison, a champion of religious minorities, opposed government interference with religion. For Madison, the establishment of a national church differed from the Spanish Inquisition "only in degree," and he vociferously attacked any legislation that would have led the colonies down that path. For example, Madison led the fight against a Virginia bill that would have levied taxes to subsidize Christianity.
The thoughts and intentions of Madison have been the subject of rancorous discord among the U.S. Supreme Court justices who have attempted to interpret the Establishment Clause in a variety of contexts. Some justices, for example, cite Madison's opposition to the Virginia bill as evidence that he opposed only discriminatory government assistance to particular religious denominations, but that he favored nonpreferential aid in order to cultivate a diversity in faiths. Thus, the left posterity with three considerations regarding religious establishments: (1) a wall of separation that protects government from religion and religion from government; (2) a separation of church and state that permits nondiscriminatory government assistance to religious groups; and (3) government assistance that preserves and promotes a diversity of religious beliefs.
The U.S. Supreme Court attempted to incorporate these three considerations under a single test in Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602, 91 S. Ct. 2105, 29 L. Ed. 2d 745 (1971). In Lemon, the Court held that state and federal government may enact legislation that concerns religion or religious organizations so long as the legislation has a secular purpose, and a primary effect that neither advances nor inhibits religion nor otherwise fosters an excessive entanglement between church and state. Under this test, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit invalidated a Mississippi statute that permitted public school students to initiate nonsectarian prayers at various compulsory and noncompulsory school events (Ingebretsen v. Jackson Public School District, 88 F.3d 274 [1996]). By contrast, the Court has permitted state legislatures to open their sessions with a short prayer—because, the Court says, history and tradition have secularized this otherwise religious act (Marsh v. Chambers, 463 U.S. 783, 103 S. Ct. 3330, 77 L. Ed. 2d 1019 [1983]).
The Court has made seemingly inconsistent rulings in other areas, as well. For instance, it permitted a municipality to include a Nativity scene in its annual Christmas display (Lynch v. Donnelly, 465 U.S. 668, 104 S. Ct. 1355, 79 L. Ed. 2d 604 [1984]), whereas it prohibited a county courthouse from placing a crèche on its staircase during the holiday season (Allegheny v. ACLU, 492 U.S. 573, 109 S. Ct. 3086, 106 L. Ed. 2d 472[1989]). In Allegheny, the Court said that nothing in the county courthouse indicated that the crèche was anything other than a religious display, whereas in Lynch, the Nativity scene was part of a wider celebration of the winter holidays. Such inconsistencies will continue to plague the Court as the justices attempt to reconcile the language of the Establishment Clause with the different considerations of the Founding Fathers.
The First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion. The tyrannical actions of the Anglican church in England were not far removed from the Islamic tyranny we see in places like Saudi Arabia today. The founding fathers wrestled with the issue of freedom to practice religion... all religion. There is an interesting article at the Library of Congress web site entitled "The Founding Fathers and Islam" by James H. Hutson who writes...
Readers may be surprised to learn that there may have been hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Muslims in the United States in 1776—imported as slaves from areas of Africa where Islam flourished. Although there is no evidence that the Founders were aware of the religious convictions of their bondsmen, it is clear that the Founding Fathers thought about the relationship of Islam to the new nation and were prepared to make a place for it in the republic.
In his seminal Letter on Toleration (1689), John Locke insisted that Muslims and all others who believed in God be tolerated in England. Campaigning for religious freedom in Virginia, Jefferson followed Locke, his idol, in demanding recognition of the religious rights of the "Mahamdan," the Jew and the "pagan." Supporting Jefferson was his old ally, Richard Henry Lee, who had made a motion in Congress on June 7, 1776, that the American colonies declare independence. "True freedom," Lee asserted, "embraces the Mahomitan and the Gentoo (Hindu) as well as the Christian religion."
That is a tough pill to swallow. Especially after the horrors of 9-11. But it is true. Here on "the ark" your refuge is the truth and as Jesus said "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32. The truth is, as angry as we may be concerning this mosque, our response cannot be an opposition to its construction. Our Constitution forbids such action. Our Founders would have supported the construction of any religious structure.
That is why I say "Bring it on! Make my day!" This is not a time for Bible believing Christians to be sucking their thumbs and crying for the government to react in an unconstitutional manner. This is a great opportunity! The broad-way media is all over this story! Christians should be raising funds to buy "Jesus Loves You Hot Dog Carts" and witness all over that area. How about some of these mega-church pastors like Pat Robertson and Rick Warren putting some cash behind a Christian Center on the same block! Have you ever noticed when a Burger King goes up a McDonalds is built nearby? It's the American way! Freedom and competition.
But most important to note. Jesus COMMANDS us to "Go ye into all the world, and preach thegospel to every creature." Mark 16:15. We have the ultimate resopnse to share! Islam teaches jihad and killing infidels. We can show them we are NOT AFRAID of them. We can LOVE them enough to share the truth of everlasting life through Jesus Christ!
Part 2.
Who is Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and what are his intentions?
Let's follow the money. If over 12 years in the broadcast media has taught me anything, it is this... a show ALWAYS caters to its sponsors. The sponsors pay for the show to exist. A religious or non profit organization is no different. The big buck donors literally dictate the direction of the operation. The few pastors and leaders out there who have rejected the perverse influence of some huge donors have paid the price and know exactly what I am talking about. Imam Feisal claims he is a "bridge builder" but his financial backing would lead one to question the destination of his bridges. Steve Watson writes for Prisonplanet.com in his article "Ground Zero Mosque Imam Is Globalist Stooge"
The Imam of the now infamous “ground zero mosque” is a member of the ultra elitist Council On Foreign Relations and receives financial backing from powerful globalist sources including the Rockefellers, the Carnegie Corporation and the Ford Foundation.
The proposed mosque, to be known as Cordoba House is the project of the Cordoba Initiative, an organisation founded by ‘Imam’ Feisal Abdul Rauf (pictured above), who, in addition to being a member of the World Economic Forum’s Council of 100, is an active member of the Council on Foreign Relations’ Religious Advisory Committee.
The Cordoba Initiative’s website cites “Christian support for the Cordoba House” in the form of Christian publication, “Sojourners”, which is owned by evangelical Christian writer and political activist Jim Wallis, also coincidentally a sitting member of the CFR’s Religious Advisory Committee.
This so called "imam" is funded by the same gang of anti-Christ, one world government criminals that promote wars, fund abortions, buy off our politicians so as to be the defacto shadow government, and support eugenics world-wide. Don't believe me? READ THEIR DOCUMENTS. They are proud of what they are doing!
Pastor Mike Murrell in his latest issue of "Warriors Sword" weighs in on the "imam"...
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf will be leaving the country soon to take a multi-country trip to the Middle East at the expense of the State Department. What that means in layman‟s terms, you and I are footing the bill. He is supposedly going to spread great understanding between the United States and Muslim Nations. Okay, this is a guy who said the U.S. was accomplices to 9/11. He said we were responsible and helped raise up Osama Bin Laden. He said it was our sins toward the Arabs that caused these things to happen. He has refused to call Hamas terrorists. Oh, why would Hussein Obama then supply the funds for his trip to spread goodwill for America? Don‟t forget, this is the same America hatred spewed out by Hussein‟s “pastor” Jeremiah “Wrong” when Obama attended his church for twenty years but never listened to what he said of course. What Rauf will most likely be doing, even though the state department denies it, is raising the $100 million to build the 13 story mosque and community center for Islam just 600 feet away from where Muslim murderers killed 3000 innocent people.
Pastor Mike states some interesting facts that need to be addressed in more detail if we are truly going to see the big picture. Item one
"Okay, this is a guy who said the U.S. was accomplices to 9/11"
Actually, that statement has a whole lot of truth to it! But let us read what the "imam" actually said on 60 Minutes to Ed Bradley.
"I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened, but the United States policies were an accessory to the crime that happened."
That is not a whole lot different from what Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell said just two days after the crime on 9-13-2001. It is also similar to what congressman Ron Paul said yesterday on Anderson Cooper 360. Robertson and Fallwell cliam God's hand of protection was lifted on that day as judgement for America's sins, while Ron Paul says our unconstitutional interventionist foriegn policies have brewed muslim hatred for decades.
Look, I am not denying that 19 guys of muslim origin weilding box cutters hijacked four planes on 9-11. But they had HELP! I could do three hours on why 9-11 was an "inside job" but for those who buy into the broad-way media conspiracy theory detailed in the 9-11 commission report, I present just three things for you to investigate.
1. Jamie McIntyre from CNN reported on 9-11 that he saw no pieces of a plane at the Pentagon any larger than what one could pick up with his hand. No engines, seats, wheels... nothing. And whats more, the original hole in the building was less than 20 feet in diameter. That plane had a wingspan of over 125 feet with huge engines on the wings weiging several tons! Where are the engines and how could there be not so much as a broken window where they would have hit? Plus how does the most powerful military headquarters on earth not have video evidence of what happened? The blurry still shots released to the media are a joke and prove nothing. The size of a Boeing 757 is approximately 125ft in width and yet images of the impact zone at the Pentagon supposedly caused by the crash merely show a hole no more than 16ft in diameter. The engines of the 757 would have punctured a hole bigger than this, never mind the whole plane. Images before the partial collapse of the impact zone show little real impact damage and a sparse debris field completely inconsistent with the crash of a large jetliner, especially when contrasted with other images showing airplane crashes into buildings.
2. An astounding video uncovered from the archives shows BBC News correspondent Jane Standley reporting on the collapse of WTC Building 7 over twenty minutes before it fell at 5:20pm on the afternoon of 9/11. Tapes from earlier BBC broadcasts show news anchors discussing the collapse of WTC 7 a full 26 minutes in advance. The BBC at first claimed that their tapes from 9/11 had been “lost” before admitting that they made the “error” of reporting the collapse of WTC 7 before it happened without adequately explaining how they could have obtained advance knowledge of the event.
In addition, over an hour before the collapse of WTC 7, at 4:10pm, CNN’s Aaron Brown reported that the building “has either collapsed, or is collapsing.”
Also, concerning the twin towers, Fire Engineering magazine called FEMA's work a "half baked farce" and noted "The structural damage from the planes and the explosive ignition of jet fuel in themselves were not enough to bring down the towers."
3. 9/11 COMMISSIONERS
The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission (Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton) said that the CIA (and likely the White House) “obstructed our investigation”.
The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission also said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn’t bother to tell the American people (free subscription required).
Indeed, the co-chairs of the Commission now admit that the Commission largely operated based upon political considerations.
9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says “I don’t believe for a minute we got everything right”, that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, that the 9/11 debate should continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only “the first draft” of history.
9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn’t have access . . . .”
9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said “We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting”
Former 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: “It is a national scandal”; “This investigation is now compromised”; and “One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up”.
9/11 Commissioner John Lehman said that “We purposely put together a staff that had - in a way - conflicts of interest“.
The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry, said “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true.”
Now back to our "imam" .... Pastor Mike also states in the latest Warriors Sword
He said we were responsible and helped raise up Osama Bin Laden.
Again, America was not "responsible", criminals were! But as for Osama Bin Laden... It is easy to see how one could come to that conclusion since the CIA had been in close with the Taliban since their war with the USSR. The Guardian newspaper printed this story in 2001 detailing a meeting between a top CIA official and Osama Bin Laden in Dubai at an American hospital. It is well known that Osama Bin Laden was a CIA asset.
Pastor Mike also states...
He has refused to call Hamas terrorists
True! In a recent New York Times article we find this excerpt...
On 77 WABC radio on June 18, the talk radio host Aaron Klein asked him, “Do you believe that the State Department is correct in designating Hamas as a terrorist organization?”
There ensued a long conversation with many interruptions, in which Mr. Abdul Rauf said:
“Well, I’m not a politician. ... The issue of terrorism is a very complex question. ... I am a bridge builder. My work is ... I do not want to be placed nor will I accept a position where I am the target of one side or another. My attempt is to see a peace in Israel. ... Targeting of civilians is wrong. It’s a sin in our religion, whoever does it. ... I am a supporter of the State of Israel.”
The Cordoba Initiative’s Web site elaborates:
“Imam Feisal has always condemned terrorism (see his ... hundreds of speeches). Hamas is both a political movement and a terrorist organization. Hamas commits atrocious acts of terror. Imam Feisal has forcefully and consistently condemned all forms of terrorism, including those committed by Hamas, as un-Islamic.”
This gets to the heart of what Pastor Mike and others are trying to explain. The obvious political waffling from the "imam" on Aaron Klein's show goes a long way to explain the islamic word "Taqiyya" which literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. Falsehoods told to prevent the denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned in the Qur'an and Sunna, including lying under oath in testimony before a court, deceiving by making distorted statements to the media such as the claim that Islam is a “religion of peace”. A Muslim is even permitted to deny or denounce his faith if, in so doing, he protects or furthers the interests of Islam, so long as he remains faithful to Islam in his heart. Read more about Taqiyya here.
CONCLUSION: Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a liar and political puppet of the globalist, pantheistic, socialists who think they can run the planet from behind the scenes with their power and money. He is of the same cloth as Barry Hussein Soetoro the Unknown President, The Bush family and the Clintons. What makes him dangerous is that he is lying about the true nature of islam. I strongly suggest you read Pastor Mike Murrell's latest issue of Warriors Sword. (If you plan to share the file please consider donating to Mike for your own subscription).
Part 3.
What is the Christian church's responsibility and what does the Bible have to say about Christians being disgusted to the point of ultimate reaction?
Psalm 2 reads:
"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision."
God thinks these conspirators are a joke! They have become fools! They can be defeated if we as Christians will repent and get off our blessed assurance and engage the culture again. Sure it was easier when we had fewer distractions such as phones, TV , radio etc. But we also had a limited impact. 100 years ago it was very difficult to reach hundreds of people. Now we can reach millions in minutes via the internet. We can call talk radio shows and have our voice heard accross the country. Most importantly we can do SOMETHING! When Dirty Harry got that bad cup of coffee he could have thrown it away but he did not. He percieved it as a message from a friend. Dirty Harry's famous line "Make My Day" is now a metaphor. It may be a movie but it sure illustrates what one person can do if one will first WAKE UP and then PAY ATTENTION to the world around us. Jesus told us to occupy until he comes!
For example, Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam behind the proposed Muslim community center and mosque two blocks from ground zero, recently stated that America is "Sharia Compliant". Pastor Mike writes about Sharia Law "Sharia law constitutes the idea of a privileged position for Islam and its adherents in society, the idea of the legitimacy of suicide bombing, the idea that violence may legitimately be visited on those who offend or "blaspheme‟ Islam or Muhammad, the idea that places and people claimed by Islam can never be retaken." Watch this video as Feisal Abdul Rauf attempts to use our Declaration Of Independence as a foundation for his argument. It should turn your stomach! That is like claiming John 14:6 was said by Lucifer!
As I said before, Jesus COMMANDS us to "Go ye into all the world, and preach thegospel to every creature." Mark 16:15. We have the ultimate resopnse to share! Islam teaches jihad and killing infidels. We can show them we are NOT AFRAID of them. We can LOVE them enough to share the truth of everlasting life through Jesus Christ!
Go ahead, build your stupid mosque. Make my day! Prepare for an army of God's warriors to pray and witness until the walls of islam come crumbling down in your hearts!
Amen
