A Covert Mission Strategyby Heidi Swander www.olivetreeviews.org
Is it just me? Have I gone daft? Why, in the name of all that is good and decent, is there even one American amenable to erecting a gigantic mosque - the proposed "Cordoba House" -- at the New York site of 9/11?
What happened to Americans standing together for our country? What happened to the fury over the deaths of over two thousand American citizens on September 11, 2001? As a well-known radio host I know likes to say so often, "Where is the outrage?"
It would seem that the mission strategy of the followers of Mohammed is achieving its desired effect. Yes, mission strategy. In Arabic the word is Dawah, and it's been going on right under the noses of millions of Americans for many, many years.
On the brilliantly-executed documentary Islam Rising created by Caryl Mastrisciana (founder of Caryl Productions) Peter Hammond, author of Slavery, Terrorism and Islam, explains, "Islam is a missionary religion. And just as Christianity has a goal for world evangelism, and just as we have the great commission and want to make disciples, so Islam has its Dawah; it has its missionary agenda; it has its focus to want to win the Western nations over to Islam."
Kamal Saleem, former Sunni Muslim PLO terrorist and career mercenary (now Christian) states plainly: "Dawah is the evangelism of the Muslim -- how they go from one country to another and they start pursuing Islam through building mosques, building Muslim centers -- just like is happening all over the United States of America." (Kamal has been a guest on Understanding the Times radio a number of times, most recently, August 21, 2010.)
This mission strategy is pervasive. We're not simply discussing door-to-door evangelism here. In America it includes open houses at mosques (particularly immediately after 9/11), cross-cultural home groups, Koran studies, prison outreach, the infiltration of university campuses, the taking of government jobs, opening drug and alcohol centers - to name just a few of their endeavors. Oh yes, and the building of mosques.
Kamal says that when he originally came to the United States, "I came to this land -- to America -- for the purpose to cut her feet out from under her. How do you do this? You take her choicest people -- her children. You teach them Islam . . . and you impact their students in universities and high schools . . . these are the future of this country."
"So what we have ended up with today is basically a generation that is brainwashed in our universities, brainwashed by our media elites -- which basically are the graduates of those universities that now hold positions in the media -- and now they are influencing the opinion of the next generation coming up," explains Brigitte Gabriel, a Lebanese journalist, author and activist and founder of American Congress for Truth and ACT! for America.
This explains a lot, does it not? At the beginning of this century, pre-9/11, Americans as a whole hardly gave Islam a thought and yet even back then there was Islamic scheming to convert America to the way of Islam.
So today, we have Muslim calls to prayer in Manhattan, New York; Dearborn police defending Islam against the Constitution of the United States at the 2010 Arab Festival; an annual Muslim parade in New York City that obstructs streets for blocks around as Muslims kneel to pray to Allah - the moon god of ancient Mesopotamia; a city council that approves Muslim prayers over loudspeakers within city limits; a congressman of the United States sworn in on the Koran; a president who does his first formal TV interview with an Arabic cable television network; a mayor of one of the cities attacked by Muslim terrorists nine years ago who defends the building of a 13-story mosque on the very ground where Americans were buried in rubble from the decimation; and Muslims appointed to posts within our own Homeland Security! And that's just a little taste of what's going on in America today thanks to the missionary work of faithful adherents to Islam.
FYI, according to Noni Darwish, an Egyptian-American Christian and director of Former Muslims United, "That American congressman who put his hand upon the Koran and not the Bible? He meant to send a message to both Islamists -- 'we're winning' -- and to the American people -- 'we are here - we are here to stay'. And this is just the beginning."
Thanks for that uplifting bit of information, Heidi. And what, exactly, are we supposed to do about it? That's always the question, isn't it? To simply have the information -- to know what's happening and why -- is not enough. As Americans watching our entire country and way of life decimated, we want to act! Here are a few suggestions for that:
- Pray. This is a spiritual battle: the god of Islam versus the one and only true God portrayed in the Bible. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We must make prayer our first priority.
- Evangelize the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Fight fire with an eternal flame!
- Stay informed. We can only defend ourselves against what we know. One powerful way to do this is to get a copy of Islam Rising and view it. This film provides a well-rounded education on Islam.
- Investigate - and consider joining - ACT! for America. CEO and President Brigitte Gabriel says, "We are in the fight for our lives and we must ACT before it is too late." (This is not a Christian organization; however, it is one of the best grassroots organizations trying to save America.)
- Contact your senators and representatives. America was founded as a republic. Let's continue to treat her that way while we still can.
- Know that our Heavenly Father is still in control. What He allows to happen He does with divine insight and forethought. He has not abdicated His throne!
We can't know what the immediate future holds where Islam is concerned. As I look at the entire world today it would appear that Islam is consuming it - and is winning. We must obey Jesus' admonition to take one day at a time and not worry about tomorrow.
And we must also remember that we've read the end of the Book and Jesus wins!
