| #1 "The war against Islamofascism is in many respects a 'values issue,' " Bauer wrote. "That may seem like an odd statement at first glance, but, as I have often said, losing Western civilization to this vicious enemy would be immoral." "It's the ultimate life issue," said Rick Scarborough, president of the Texas-based conservative Christian group Vision America. "If radical Islam succeeds in its ultimate goals, Christianity ceases to exist." It looks like America's Christian leaders have finally gotten the memo. How long will it take for them to begin condemning shari'a law as a wholesale violation of human rights? More importantly, when will they demand that—in order for Islam to be practiced in America—Muslim majority nations must demonstrate reciprocity by allowing genuine freedom of religion? Afghanistan is a perfect example of the usual Muslim hypocrisy. Despite having signed the UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights), which guarantees religious freedom, Christian convert Abdul Rahman narrowly escaped a death penalty for apostasy. These sanctimonious bastards resorted to the transparent ruse of trying to declare him mentally unbalanced or insane before Italy finally granted Rahman asylum. It should be further noted that even President Bush spoke out against Rahman's arrest, saying, "It is deeply troubling that a country we helped liberate would hold a person to account because they chose a particular religion over another". Yet, neither Bush nor Rice can come to grips with how shari'a law is the root cause in all of this and neither of them can bring themselves to condemn its installation in Afghanistan or Iraq despite it being the utter antithesis of American and democratic values. America's Christians will need to look towards far more enlightened leadership than that coming from the White House if they are to begin marshalling their resources in the coming life-and-death struggle with Islam. |
