Intro to Shamim Mehmood Opinion of Pakistan Mobilizing Muslim Protests Over Sweden and France

Intro by John R. Houk, Blog Editor

Opinion by Shamim Mehmood

© July 14, 2023

 

These days as an American concerned about the Globalist/Marxist path the USA has openly hurdled toward since Barack Obama gained the reins of power, I have focused on American Liberty and resisting the despotism seeping into American government and resisting the Marxist Critical Race Theory transforming America away from its Christian moral roots.

 

THERE WAS A TIME my focus was on Islam as an anti-Christian threat to the American heritage of Liberty and Christianity. During those days I focused much time on persecuted Christians in Muslim dominated nations. A huge source of information came from Shamim Mehmood – a Christian-Pakistani national. In those early days I knew him more as Shamim Masih and later (I don’t recall how) as Shamim Mahmood. I suspect much of the names are cultural thing for Christians trying to live and survive in an openly Islamic State. A few days ago, he contacted me on Telegram under the name Shamim Mehmood.

 

Shamim sent a brief journalistic opinion on how his homeland – Pakistan – is officially fomenting hostile protest of the actions on non-Muslims in France and Sweden.

 

Since many in my circles ignore the press these days recognizing it more as a propaganda mouthpiece for Globalist-Marxist transformation, I am convinced many are unaware that massive Muslim immigration to Europe has began wake up ethnic Europeans that Islam exists to force conversions or submit to the rules of Islamic Supremacy or else.

 

As such, those who demonstrate a dislike of Islam’s cultural impositions on the various European cultures of independent nations have been labeled by governments and the international press as Islamophobic racists (though I don’t fear Islam in a phobic manner, I do resist its culture as abhorrent to my Christian faith. THAT MEANS, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT I’M LABELED AN Islamophobic racist).

 

I don’t want to take too much away from Shamim’s July 10 opinion he sent to me to share, but many who think as I do and those ridiculed awakened Europeans have either read the hate in Islamic revered writings (Quran, Hadith & Sira) or have experienced the violence of Islamic Supremacism.  

 

For context on Shamim’s opinion on Pakistan government actions over occurrences in France and Sweden. France exploded into George Floyd-style rioting by Muslim youths over French Police shooting 17 year old Nahel Merzouk after fleeing in his car. If you listen to the Press and Globalist-Marxists, the shooting was the result of pervasive anti-Muslim racism in France. My guess is the shooting resulted closer to the Muslim Immigrant reputation for violence against non-Muslims. The kid may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time and may have fled due to French Police beginning to become aggressive to Muslim Immigrants which are now becoming generationally indigenous. Opinions on the French situation which you might have to sift through the Left-Wing view: HERE, HERE & HERE.

 

The incident in Sweden that really chap the hide of Muslims causing massive protests and Muslim outrage – particularly in Muslim dominated nations – when a Christian from Iraq (Salwan Momika) living as a refugee in Sweden torched a Quran outside a Stockholm Mosque and actually got Swedish government permission to do so. AGAIN, you may have to sift through the Left-Wing perspective: HERE, HERE & HERE.

After the Shamim Mehmood opinion piece I’m going to share some videos relevant to Pakistan Muslim persecution of Christians which I pray enlightens readers to the hypocrisy of Muslim going nuts when they believe their faith has been blasphemed according to their so-called revered writings. The first video is a Facebook video interview I placed on my Bitchute Channel from March 2021 of Shamim describing his abduction, interrogation and torture by four Pakistani-Muslims.

Anti-Islam Events in France & Sweden Displeases Pakistan

Pakistan officially declared to arrange protests against the anti-Islam events happening in France and Sweden in the past few days led by the Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. [Blog Editor: Wikipedia Profile, Recent speech of political double-speak at Pro-CCP SCO Council Meeting – 7/4/23]

 

The state officially condemned the incident and said any anti-Islam move can't be tolerated in any shape of the freedom of speech/expression.

 

Different religious groups (some of them are called or declared militant by the government from time to time) have taken part in aggressively and have arranged protest rallies against the burning of the Quran in Sweden and France. [Blog Editor: I have not been able to locate recent Quran-burning in France. HOWEVER, Growing dislike for Muslim immigrants (some of which now can claim generational habitation) undoubted led to a police shooting resulting in the death of 17 year-old Nahel Merzouk sparked Muslim youth rioting in France a la George Floyd style. The Pakistan-government rabble rousing of its Muslim population is so full of hypocrisy since Pakistan is one of world’s biggest perpetrators of violence against its own Christian population.] The protesters raised slogans demanding the action should be taken against those involved in that incident and have expressed their anger by chanting anti-Christians' slogans and desecrating the sign of the cross at various places.

 

Reportedly, some Christians' religious leadership in Gujranwala (city of Punjab province) have been part of these rallies as well.

 

Principally I am not in favor of such actions, the reason behind that is that people living in the developed countries are neither aware nor can imagine the problems of the Christians people living in the Muslim dominated countries. And by such acts, their lives can become hell there. (A video clip can be seen in which the followers of Islam are recording their protest by desecrating the sign of the cross [Blog Editor: I attempted to locate a recent video clip of Pakistani-Muslims desecrating a Christian Cross with no luck. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist because Pakistani-Christians have experienced decades of Muslim violence over the most trivial perceptions of insults against Islam. AND it doesn’t take much to insult Islam because Islamic revered writings call for abhorrent violence against non-Muslim resistance to submission. You can do a Youtube search of your choice of wording and find decades of Muslim violence against Pakistani-Christians that had zero World mass protests against Western located Mosques or Muslim Embassies. Here is one news article example from 2005 under the title, “Christians hold open-air mass after Muslims torch churches”.]) Well, let me try to present an overview and practical steps can be taken by the state or people in large against such kind of incidents rather than this show.

 

It is to remember that the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) [Blog Editor: Of possible information Interest: OIC organization in relation to India (2/16/22); Video on OIC censorship Jihad (4:51-minutes 7/8/15) & 65 page PDF dated 6/5/15 entitled – “THE ORGANIZATION OF ISLAMIC COOPERATION’S JIHAD ON FREE SPEECH”] emergency meeting was called in and displeasure showed there as well. It can be considered that OIC members agreed and were settled-down by just issuing a statement.

 

Pakistan being an OIC member did not raise any question there though Pakistan [Pakistan to OIC 7/7/23: “Pakistan asks OIC to chalk out strategy against rising Islamophobic incidents”] can do that, but they staged protest rallies across the country and to show more love than others. Realistically it looks just formalities, because Pakistan can take some practical steps to show their love for Islam for example: Pakistan can officially call off its diplomatic relations with both European countries France and Sweden. And can demand to [not] restore its relations until they punish those individuals under blasphemy [of insulting Islam].

 

But it will not happen because Pakistan cannot face the damages taking such steps.

 

Secondly all those Pakistani [nationals] wanting to show their love for Islam, they can right away leave French and Swedish nations and move to their respective homelands. But I am sure neither state nor individuals will do so due to their personal benefits.

 

If this is not the case, should it be understood that the love and contempt of Islam is exhibited only when poor Asia Bibi  [SlantRight 2.0 & CPCR] or Sawan Masih or Zafar Masih [Blog Editor: After conducting a search on Duck Duck Go, I found a Christian Post story of the brother Zafar Masih telling the story of his sister Shazia Imran being kidnapped and gang raped then murdered by four Pakistani-Muslims: Christian woman abducted, killed for refusing to convert to Islam in Pakistan; By Morning Star News; The Christian Post; 7/4/23] [are] accused.

 

In fact, it is called hypocrisy! Isn't it?

I’ve noticed in this interview there was polite but a little incredulity by the interviewer. You can decide. Notice in Sheraz Khan frame there is a Barack Obama photo. ANYWAY, Shamim relays his version of abduction, interrogation and torture in March 2021 in Pakistan. THANKFULLY, I’ve discovered Shamim now lives in the USA.

On Monday, 2 January 2023, a protest organised by a group of tribals, led by right wing leaders, in Narayanpur district over alleged ‘forced ‘conversion of members of tribal community into Christianity turned violent, leaving a church vandalised.

 

An FIR has been lodged against 40+ people, and 9 others, including BJP's Narayanpur district president Roop Sai Salam, have been arrested so far.

 

A video of the incident captured a man vandalising a statue of Virgin Mary installed on the premises of the church. Another statue of Jesus Christ was damaged in the incident, too.

Youtube VIDEO: Christian in Pakistan Given Death Penalty Over Blasphemy as Persecution Expert Reveals Awful Details


 
Posted by CBN News

Posted on Jun 15, 2023

 

A persecution watchdog is voicing profound concern about a Pakistani man who was reportedly given the death penalty after being accused of blasphemy. David Curry, CEO of Global Christian Relief, told CBN's Faithwire "Pakistan has some of the most difficult and stringent blasphemy laws in the world."

 

He described these regulations as "vigilante-type laws" that open the door to false accusations against Christians and other groups — claims that can lead to the death penalty. "[It] allows anybody to accuse somebody else of blasphemy within the Islamic law," he said. "And the reason why it's so problematic is because of the court system and the way these are adjudicated. You have somebody who's making a claim that, in most cases, can't be substantiated."

 

Beyond that, Curry said the definition of "blasphemy" is overly broad, meaning any offense deemed problematic by the accuser is all that's needed to wage a charge. Being a Christian, alone, could spark problems for some in places like Pakistan, with false claims also being perpetuated. "Punishment in Pakistan is the death penalty, so there's no proportionality to a particular situation," he said. "Anybody can make a charge that can't be validated."

 

Curry said blasphemy charges unfold "regularly" in Pakistan. As CBN's Faithwire previously reported, the most recent case involves Noman Masih, 22, who was recently handed the death penalty by a court in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, after being found guilty of blasphemy. Listen to Curry discuss his story and blasphemy more broadly.

Germany: Qur’an burned, thrown out window of moving vehicle outside mosque

 

By CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

July 14, 2023 9:00 AM

Jihad Watch

 

The intense reaction of multitudes across the Muslim world (including the Organization of Islamic Cooperation) demonstrates the expectation that free societies can and will be pressured into conforming to Islamic blasphemy laws. Most recently, the UN Human Rights Council passed a Pakistani resolution calling for action against “hatred of religion” (a.k.a. offense to Islam). Now it’s backfiring. More specifically:

 

The resolution calls for the “review” of Western laws and calls on Western nations to “plug gaps that may ‘impede the prevention and prosecution of acts and advocacy of religious hatred.’”

 

Islamic leaders globally continue to condemn a Qur’an burning while turning a blind eye to the widespread persecution of Christians in Islamic countries. But how well is this strategy working, as the Muslim world and the West stand at a crossroads?

 

Many people recognize the danger of submitting to Sharia blasphemy tenets, and so the pressure that is being put on Western societies may well backfire.

Mosque-Germany

 

“Quran burnt, thrown from moving vehicle outside mosque in Germany,” Anadolu Agency, July 10, 2023:

 

Quran was burned and thrown from a moving vehicle in front of a mosque in southwestern Germany, the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB) confirmed Monday.

 

The incident happened in front of the Mimar Sinan Mosque in the town of Maulbronn, located in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, from a moving vehicle.

 

Osman Adıbelli, director of the mosque association, said the incident took place on the night of Saturday, July 8.

 

“After the incident, when we reviewed surveillance footage of our mosque, we saw that an object was thrown in front of the mosque from a vehicle on the main street. Around 4:45 a.m. (0245GMT), our congregation members who came for morning prayers noticed a burned Quran at the entrance of the mosque,” he explained.

 

Adıbelli said they have filed a criminal complaint over the incident and added: “Due to the reflection of the headlights of the vehicle approaching the front of the mosque we do not know the license plate number or how many individuals were involved in the attack.”…

A Crown Jewel of Christendom Burns


Notre Dame Cathedral before 4/15/19 fire 


On April 15 Notre Dame Cathedral was torched by accident or by arson. French officials lean to the former but the observation of a spate of French and European Church arsons lead to the valid speculation of arson. Many of the Church arsons have been linked to Islamic Supremacists who disdain the Christian faith. Could the Holy Week that includes Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday be a nefarious message to Christians?

Justin Smith sent his thoughts a couple of days ago trying to sift through fact, speculation and conspiracy over the Notre Dame Cathedral blaze.

Notre Dame Cathedral France billowing smoke & fire 4/15/19 -- Reuters - Charles Platiau

By Justin O. Smith
Sent 4/17/2019 9:30 PM

"Should that subduing talisman, the cross, be shattered the frenzied madness of the ancient warriors, that insane Berserk rage of which Nordic bards have spoken and sung so often, will once more burst into flame." ~ Heinrich Heine 1834 

Flames danced and leaped across the rooftop of Notre Dame Cathedral on April 15th 2019, and the world stood aghast and watched helplessly and somber from along the banks of the Seine River, singing hymns, weeping, embracing each other and praying. Onlookers gasped in horror, as they watched the fire ravage the 859 year old historic cathedral in catastrophic fashion, and they cried out as the 295 foot tall spire of this iconic symbol of Western Christendom plummeted and slid into the flames and centuries of history were burned to ash. 

Nobody really knows what happened, although the major news sources were falling all over themselves to make certain not one single person was allowed to ask if there was an Islamic terrorism connection. Shepherd Smith and Neil Cavuto, Fox News hosts, both cut guests off for raising the question. They immediately called it "an accident" related to renovation work. 

Well ... as Notre Dame Cathedral burned, I couldn't help but immediately think the Muslims had finally succeeded in bringing it down, especially since they have already tried so many times in the past, most recently in 2016. There was even an apparent Muslim seen on the scaffolding near where the fire started not long before it started. And that's what makes Shepherd Smith's refusal to even listen to one of his guest's comments regarding the arson of hundreds of churches in France so maddening. 

Phillipe Karsenty began, "For the past years, we've had churches desecrated each and every week all over France." 

Smith immediately reprimanded, "Sir, sir, sir, we're not going to speculate of the cause of something that we don't know! If You have observations or you know something, we would love to hear it." When Karsenty tried to respond, Smith ended the entire interview.

Wasn't Karsenty's statement on the desecration of Christian churches in France an "observation" and a statement based on "[knowing] something"?

The scaffold was the first time in ages that any access was available to the roof area and its 5,000 oak timbers. I can't say for sure it was a Muslim who committed arson, or even that it was arson, but to immediately dismiss arson and call it an accident before ANY investigation whatsoever has been fully conducted and completed is the height of sheer idiocy and weepy liberal foolery and cowardice.


To so casually dismiss any suggestion of Islamic terrorism, when April 15th is the date that Mohammed started compiling the Koran and coincides with many other Islamic historic events -- not to mention the Boston Bombing -- is a slap in the face of all Frenchmen and the entire Christian world, especially in light of the fact, that according to Raymond Ibrahim and Judith Friedman of the Gatestone Institute, 1,063 attacks on Christian churches, statues and crucifixes were registered in France in 2018, and 878 similar attacks were registered in 2017. Muslim terrorist attacks on Christians in France rose by 38 percent between 2015 and 2016, from 273 attacks to 376 attacks against churches and other places of worship. 


On April 2nd, The Washington Post reported: "Among attacks on churches in February, a cross of human excrement was found in the southern city of Nimes, a statue of Mary was smashed in a Paris suburb and a statue of Jesus was decapitated ...".

On March 17th, Saint-Sulpice, the second largest church in France erupted in flames, and the police determined it was arson, no accident. The fire damaged doors and stained glass windows on Saint-Sulpice's exterior. And St. Sulpice was just one of a dozen such desecrated churches over one seven day stretch in March, in egregious acts of anti-Christian vandalism and arson.

The cause of the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral may be found later, depending on how much effort the authorities actually exert; however, the significance of its eruption on the first day of Holy Week has not gone unnoticed. If this fire was purposefully set, the arsonist picked the perfect time. The results are devastating and will be long-lasting. 

However, the leaders of France, especially President Macron, have become such cowards and so politically correct that they would prefer allowing the Islamic terrorists a few successes here and there, such as the scores of Muslim "no go zones" across France. The French government bends over at the waist to keep from pouring oil on the fire of Muslim rage, so the obvious truth regarding anti-Christian furor and its Islamic origin is permanently and intentionally obscured. The Muslim miscreants are not properly scrutinized, and yet those who dare to associate the desecration of Christian symbols to these Muslims are ostracized, de-platformed and accused of racism, hatred and hate speech.

[Of interest:




The Church and Christianity are under attack from every part of the Western secular humanist, atheistic and Islamic world one wants to mention. Far too many seek to maliciously portray Christianity as bigoted, close-minded and hard-hearted, but it is far from any such thing. Christianity has facilitated and inspired the most beautiful works of art in history, and it encouraged freedom and science, after the Reformation. Christianity has been the epitome of self-sacrifice, charity and love of man and God across the ages.

During a period when most people of France were illiterate the beautiful wall carvings and stained glass of Notre Dame Cathedral, now so badly damaged, taught the lessons of the Bible and reinforced the doctrines that are the foundations of the Christian faith. The craftsmanship and artistry of the Cathedral instructed the people and instilled them with a spirit-filled and holy awe and wonder.

Hot righteous anger coursed through my entire body, as I saw videos of men of Arabic ethnicity, obviously Muslims, smiling and laughing as Notre Dame burned. The Muslims lit up social media with comments like "Allah est Grand" and "It's time to say good-bye to your oratory polytheism" -- referencing Christian belief in the Trinity. Not one person nor millions of contrarians will ever convince me that Muslims want to assimilate and coexist with the people of Western Civilization. They hate us and they arrive as invaders, and that's why they laugh, rejoice and celebrate at each tragedy that befalls us or each act of terror that one of their brethren -- dastardly anti-American, anti- West, anti-Christian and Jew Sons of Allah successfully carry out; tell me again about all the "good" Muslims, and I'll tell you there aren't any and call "b*llsh*t". 

If this doesn't convince the majority of Americans to halt all Muslim immigration into America, especially after 9/11, the Boston Bombing and all the evil Islam brings with it, I don't know what will. Perhaps America too will fall the way of Europe.

The French, and most of Europe too, have allowed Islam, antithetical to Western principles, to infiltrate their culture, infrastructure and government, as they also destroy their own liberty through communism too, another ideology opposed to Western principles. Having long abandoned distinct Christian virtues to the immoral and intellectually dishonest multiculturalism nonsense, they assumed the Muslims too would embrace tolerance of others and a multicultural society, however, in their arrogance, oh how they were wrong. As I write this, the Islamists around the globe seek the end of France, Christianity and the West. 

Notre Dame Cathedral is a world treasure and a crown jewel of Christianity that has been much loved and revered by millions, since its completion in 1345 A.D. It has served in countless celebrations and processions proclaiming the glory of God to all of France. It survived the French Revolution and attempts to melt its tower's bells. It's the site of Napoleon's coronation as emperor. It survived two world wars with little damage, and it is where General Charles de Gaulle attended mass amid rifle fire to give thanks for the liberation of Paris in 1944. 

Built over a pagan temple, Notre Dame Cathedral was the work of generations and spanned two hundred years, during which its craftsmen and laborers beat considerable architectural and logistic challenges. Thousands of tons of stone was cut by small armies of stone cutters and was transported from outside of Paris, one cart at a time, while its tall ceilings and walls were supported by the architectural innovations of the rib vault and flying buttress. [See Also National Geographic]

Communism, socialism, nihilism and Islam have all targeted Notre Dame Cathedral over the centuries, and what they couldn't achieve, a yet to be explained brief moment brought much of it tumbling down, whether it was Islamic arson or the Hand of God Himself. 

French President Emmanuel Macron exclaimed: "Notre Dame is aflame ... Great emotion for the whole nation. Our thoughts go out to all Catholics and to the French people. Like my fellow citizens, I am sad to see this part of us burn tonight."

Night fell in Paris and the fire roared on, moving the crowds of the Faithful to come together in their heartbreak and disbelief, raising their voices in a chorus of "Ave Maria", that rose above the flames. The poignant images were shared millions of times across social media networks by that Monday evening, with many calling the scene in Paris both "powerful" and "moving".

In less than nine hours, we saw fifty-two acres of oak timbers consumed by the flames, as Priests rushed to save the many pieces of priceless artwork and statues and the Cathedral's treasury, and we saw nearly 500 firefighters fight to save the Two Towers and the stained glass windows that depicted stories from the Bible and the doctrinal truth associated with them. The flames did their work all too well; and in the process, the inferno took the heart of France and much of the world. 

Fortunately, the relic of the Crown of Thorns was saved, and this alone is a mercy to celebrate, even as we weep for what has been lost.

France Reaps Decades of Socialism and Open Borders



Brigitte Gabriel uses France’s current woes of Socialism, Islamic terrorism and Open Borders as an example of a warning to the United States of America.

JRH 12/15/18
So readers, I’ve been using a seven year old laptop to fulfill the

old blogging habit. My lovely wife sprang for an upgrade.
I’m a relatively small-time blogger but with a consistently
growing readership despite some token censorship from the
liberal-oriented blog and social platforms.
Still looking to defray Christmas costs.

chip in will be appreciated:

******************
France Reaps Decades of Socialism and Open Borders

Posted: Dec 14, 2018 2:28 PM


As world leaders recently gathered in France to celebrate the centurion anniversary of the ending to World War I, French President Emmanuel Macron took it upon himself to attack President Trump, warning about the dangers of so-called “nationalism.” 

The arrogance of a Western world leader using such a unifying event to attack the elected leader of one of his nation’s closest allies aside, Macron would’ve done well to keep his own house in order before lending advice.

Just weeks later, Paris was ablaze with violent mobs attacking police and vandalizing some of France’s most precious historical sites. The world-famous Arc de Triomphe was laced with graffiti by a generation poisoned and brainwashed with socialist ideology, never satisfied with what their government could give them.

France spent decades pushing the same anti-nationalist ideology on its citizens, glorifying the European Union and heavily taxing the wealthy to give to the poor. Combine this with France’s decades of open borders, reluctance to celebrate their own rich culture, Western values and contributions to the world, and you get an angry, self-loathing and even violent citizenry. Suddenly there’s no more wealth to tax, no more jobs to hand out and no more national identity. 

Socialism has never worked in any part of the world in the entire history of civilization. Its consistent destruction of wealth, freedom and democracy has proven to be a recipe for national suicide. Combined with the open border policies that France embraced, you won’t just get poverty and civil unrest, but terrorism as well.

When I was a little girl, Beirut was dubbed “Paris of the Middle East.” Today, Paris is the Middle East of Europe and the “city of love,” has turned into the “city of chaos.” Decades of un-fettered immigration from the Middle East and North Africa has birthed sharia-ridden “no-go zones” and horrific terrorist attacks from the Charlie Hebdo massacre to the Paris bombings of 2015.

This type of radical transformation France has undergone is precisely what President Trump has been so desperately fighting against since his inauguration, with limited to no help from his own party. 

As we march closer and closer toward a Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, time is running out on our nation’s ability to reverse course and protect itself from becoming like France—a nation with no unity, no identity and no safety. 

We need not look all the way across the Atlantic to see what the future holds for our nation if it refuses to seal its southern border, grants amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants and continues to elect anti-American socialists to political positions of power. Just take a look at what unvetted immigration and socialism has done to the liberal haven of California over the past few decades.

Sanctuary cities such as San Francisco that provide safe haven for illegals such as Kate Steinle’s killer have become places of squalor, ridden with homelessness and filth. In fact, San Francisco's streets are so filthy that an infectious disease expert recently placed it amongst some of the dirtiest cities in the entire world!

Recently, an investigative unit surveyed 153 blocks of San Francisco, in which it found countless mounds of trash and food lining the streets, at least 100 discarded needles, and wait for it, more than 300 piles of human feces.

This is San Francisco we’re talking about, not Mumbai.

By the way, it’s worth pointing out that one of San Francisco’s congressional representatives happens to be none other than soon-to-be Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who is vehemently opposed to a wall. Good to know Ms. Pelosi has her priorities in order.

Taxes are through the roof in the “Golden State,” prompting many businesses to move to more free-market friendly locations such as Texas or Florida. As wealth continues to leave the state, the taxes will inevitably climb even higher, as lawmakers attempt to keep their constituents as well as illegals happy. Sooner or later, there won’t be enough wealth to tax, and the state will be bankrupt. The result of this will likely be violence, vandalism and chaos on a scale even larger than what we’re witnessing in Paris.

The solution to all of this? America first.

Wait, you mean, “nationalism?”

Let the leftist fools like Macron, who currently enjoys an approval rating of less than 20 percent in his own nation, call it whatever they want. It’s time to do what’s best for America and its people.

It’s time to build a wall to protect not only our citizens but our identity, and it’s time to call socialism what it is—an evil and destructive, anti-American ideology that has led to nothing but poverty and disaster wherever it raises its poisonous head.

America is and should always remain a capitalist nation that defends its borders and celebrates its national identity and Judeo-Christian values. As proven by France’s continued fall from grace, failure to do so will result in cultural, economic and political destruction.

Standing Up or Kneeling to Islam?


Allah gives Mo Sword global domination
 
Dr. Gary Cass of DefendChristians.org has some words about the Muslim terrorism recently experienced in France. Dr. Cass gets it wrong on saying Charlie Hebdo was also killed. He probably mixed up the Charlie Hebdo publisher Stéphane Charbonnier with the name of the Liberal French publication. Since January 8 when Dr. Cass wrote this very valid editorial clearer information has come to light through today January 10.
 
Here’s a brief quote that should set the tone for the editorial:
 
France has tried to appease Muslims even allowing "no go zones" where Muslims could govern and police themselves under Sharia law. Did this accommodation win the hearts and minds of Jihadists? It will not and never can.
 
That’s right friends and Leftists. Multiculturalism in France and actually elsewhere in Western Europe has a failed policy for an ordered society.

Standing Up or Knelling to Islam?

Everybody's reeling from the events that took place in Paris yesterday. Our hearts are broken for the families that lost loved ones. This is just another reminder of what is confronting us as a culture and it demands our thoughtful Christian response.
 
We didn't ask for it and we didn't start it. Mohammed declared war on you and yours and on Christian civilization fourteen hundred years ago. So what are we going to do about it?
 
Islam is entirely built on worldwide domination by the sword of Allah. Bifurcating Islam in to "radical Islam" and "moderate Islam" is a fiction. It always produces Jihad and Jihadists. Mohammed was a violent Jihadist and it's foolish to expect the DNA of any religion to be anything other than that of its founder.  
 
Liberal France is experiencing the trauma of allowing Islam to operate within its borders. Twelve dead Frenchman, including Charlie Hebdo, the publisher of a satirical magazine that poked fun at Mohammed, is a shocking wake up call to some.
 
France has tried to appease Muslims even allowing "no go zones" where Muslims could govern and police themselves under Sharia law. Did this accommodation win the hearts and minds of Jihadists? It will not and never can.
 
Muslims aren't content to govern themselves in the confines of their little communities. They are out to conquer the world for Allah and impose their benighted religion and culture on everybody.
 
In Sweden, another bastion of liberal tolerance, there has been a recent rash of firebombs directed at Mosques? Why? Could it be the epidemic of Muslims raping "infidel" Swedish women and the inability or unwillingness of the government to stop it?
 
Muslims will use any means necessary in their war on the world. Jihad can be a hot war, guerrilla war, terrorism or cultural sabotage. Vicious intimidation, deception or the manipulation of our laws are all means to the same end; The whole world, including you and yours, must either convert, submit or die. 
 
The murdered French publisher, Charlie Hebdo, was quoted as saying, "I'd rather die standing than live knelling."  What about you? Are we still the land of the free and home of the brave and the Sons of Liberty under Jesus Christ? Or, will we cower as the slaves of Islam under anti-Christ?  As for me and my house we will serve the risen King of kings and triumphant Lord of lords. 
 
In Christ,
 
Dr. Gary Cass
