Christian Jihad?

We have Abu Izzadeen, former member of Al-Muhajiroun and British citizen, giving a speech saying that sharia law will conquer the infidels. He means what he says and he is not alone. Following sharia law can be dangerous to the West, one fine example is the danger posed to our children.

The United States is not in the situation that the UK is, yet, but there are many lessons we can learn from their mistakes. They have huge numbers of of Muslims living in segregated communities, many not working, living off the welfare system, spending their time producing babies and attending mosques and book stores where Islamic jihad is preached as a duty for the faithful Muslim.

"As a Muslim I believe Allah created whole universe; he created the UK. It doesn't belong to you, it doesn't belong to the Queen, it doesn't belong to the Anglo-Saxons. Allah has put us on the planet earth to live wherever we want and implement the Sharia rules... Democracy means sovereignty for man; and as a Muslim, we believe sovereignty for the Sharia, therefore I would never take part in democratic principles. Rather I will work to change society in accordance with Islamic methodology."

Though a trained electrician, Izzadeen does not work, and has not worked for years. A doctrine of his "spiritual leader" Omar Bakri Mohammed maintains that British Muslims should live off welfare benefits provided by the democratic system they aim to destroy. (source, more here with video)

On the dangers to children, here is just one example from the UK, but it could relate to the United States or any other Western nation. It is a known fact that Muslims have many more children than do other religions and races living in the West. That makes this problem even more alarming:

A few months ago, a Dr. Abdul Majid Katme, head of the Islamic Medical Association in the UK, was telling Muslims that it is “against Islam” to have their children vaccinated. According to Dr. Katme, many vaccines contain “haram” or “parts” of animals that are not slaughtered ritualistically. Dr. Katme’s “parts”, in actuality, are either pieces of cells or even proteins removed from cells, and then incubated in a lab. And he also complained that vaccines contain alcohol, which Muslims who adhere strictly to Islam do not consume. This man is a psychiatrist who has worked for 15 years with Britain’s National Health Service, yet his writings suggest someone with not the most basic grasp of immunology or vaccine science.

What is the answer for America, knowing the problems that the UK and others are having? One writer suggests a 'Christian Jihad'.

Most Americans are only starting to wake up to the fact that modern Islam is planning a sinister plot to take over the world during the next two decades. The term “jihad” is used for their aspirations. It has two meanings to Muslims:

• An individual's striving for spiritual, self-perfection,

• A Muslim holy war or spiritual struggle against infidels.

Fortunately, most dictionaries give a third meaning to this Islamic word. The definition, found in the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, essentially calls any crusade or struggle a “jihad” – with the idea that this war carries with it great intensity and focus. It some ways, Christians must fight radical Islam with their brand of bold Christianity. Simply put, we must return to our roots! [snip]

I would like to suggest that the average westerner has not fully understood both the violence and the complexity of the Islamic world view. Politics and faith are inextricably connected in the mind of an Islamic radical. There is no comparison with the conservative Christian involvement in American politics. [snip]

So what do we do? How do Christian nations conduct their own jihad? We should draw a line in the sand – defining our unique national cultures, while resisting the encroachment of unbending, imperialistic Muslims. --Harry R. Jackson, Jr.

The term "Christian Jihad" sounds almost offensive. For a Christian to even use the term Jihad and Christian in the same breath makes me cringe. However, the concept that Mr. Jackson is talking about -- the drawing a line in the sand and getting back to our roots -- sounds like a very logical plan. I hope that our leaders get a clue before it's too late.

the u.s. government lacks the imagination to truly understand the driving forces underlying muslim beliefs. for example, the threat of crop-dusting sacred shrines with un-sacred animal body parts could provide tremendous political leverage. it is unfortunate and sad that muslims submit to belief by ultimatum... believe or die, when humans have been blessed with the intelligence to judge, to make rational choices. this suggests a possible inferiority of intelligence, not surprising in a largely third-world, uneducated reliogio-political society. those who are least educated (i.e. ignorant) are those who are most susceptible to imaginary/metaphysical presentations of reality or the lack thereof in the form of deities such as allah and god.

What I can't understand is that no one exposes Islam for what it is: A bunch of BS. Why do people at all levels of society act as though we have to tolerate this religious hogwash? If it's all based on worthless hearsay, then it should be treated that way. People are idiots if they accept this sharia stuff into their country and governments do a great disservice to their people if they allow it to take any kind of root in any community.

Yes, he is talking about getting back to spreading the Gospel. Unlike with Islam, where you are forced to submit, Christians simply share God's word and humans have free will to either accept or reject that word.

By "returning to our roots" I assume he's speaking of spreading the Gospel in Peace and Love. In Pastor Richard Wurmbrand's (God rest his soul) book, 'Tortured for Christ', Wurmbrand describes the Underground Church that he and many others built while in Communist Romania and Russia. I recently read his book ( http://tinyurl.com/ypkmem ) and found it very uplifting. He describes some of the torture and abuse he and fellow Believers endured, all the while witnessing for Christ. What was amazing is that they saw their torturers being converted, then arrested and imprisoned, and THEY then witnessed.
