The saying is not wrong. True Christianity does not spread hate.
However, we are facing a real challenge: significant numbers of Muslims who openly want to reshape this country according to their own religious and political vision. Muslims are free to live here and practice their faith. What they are not free to do is govern us or transform our laws, culture, and system into something that no longer reflects the country we are.
A Metro Detroit church put up a sign saying “Muslims Are Not Our Enemies, Hate Is The Enemy” after protests in Dearborn.
Meanwhile, in much of the Muslim world, Christians face a very different reality.
Many of the most dangerous countries for Christians are Muslim-majority. Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, Syria, Nigeria, Pakistan, Libya, Iran, and Afghanistan. Last year alone, nearly 5,000 Christians were k*lled for their faith
Blasphemy laws in countries like Pakistan can bring the d*ath penalty. Apostasy (leaving Islam) is punishable by d*ath in several Muslim nations. Christian girls are routinely kidnapped and forced into marriage and conversion. Churches are burned and converts are hunted down.
Calling concern “hate” doesn’t change the fact that in large parts of the Islamic world, Christians live under constant threat. This sign IGNORES that reality.
America now has 40 Muslim mayors.
240 Muslims sit on city councils from coast to coast.
70 serve in state houses of representatives.
15 hold seats as state senators.
And 4 currently occupy seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
That is not a prediction. That is the present.
A community that makes up roughly one percent of the population is steadily building real institutional power at every level of government: city halls, state legislatures, and Congress.
The pattern is clear, the numbers are climbing, and most Americans still have no idea it is happening.
Men, if the mother of your child is posting videos supporting child murderer Lindsay Clancy…use those videos and go for full custody. You don’t want your children to be next.
Lindsay Clancy raised almost $1 million after murdering her babies.
McKenna West is being sued $100K after saving baby Gabriel for refusing to abort him.
We need Jesus.
