See Rep. Allen West Speak at His ‘Anti-Mosque’ 9/11 Event

Critics Charge: Rep. Allen Wests Event Was Anti Islam

Republican Rep. Allen West is catching heat for hosting what some critics are calling an “anti-mosque” and anti-Islam event. While some may view a Wednesday film screening and talk hosted by the congressman as an appropriate attempt to remember the lives of those lost on September 11, 2001, others believe the commemorative effort was both inappropriate and unwarranted.

The screening is particularly controversial because the film, produced by Christian Action Network and entitled, “Sacrified Survivors,” focuses upon the contentious so-called Ground Zero mosque that has created intense debate across America. According to Politico, the film prominently features 9/11 victims’ family members and their opposition to the planned house of worship and community center. Adding to the controversy, West invited some of these families to attend the event.

In a press release on Tuesday, West’s office described the film — and the event — as follows:

As plans for a mosque move forward at Ground Zero, just steps away from the twin towers site, 9/11 survivors and family members are experiencing yet another type of Islamic jihad. PRB Films tells their poignant and shocking stories in this new film, “SACRIFICED SURVIVORS: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Mega Mosque.”

Survivors fear after this week, the country will again become complacent and 9/11 will become a distant memory. They believe they must work to keep people vigilant and fighting against the march of radical Islam through attempts like the Ground Zero mosque. As retired New York City firefighter Tim Brown says, “If this mosque is built, it will be like 9/11 all over again for the families who lost loved ones.”

Here’s the disputatious film’s trailer:

One of the attending family members, Jack McDermot, who lost a son on 9/11, stood his ground in opposing the construction of the community center and mosque:

“I think it’s a tragedy that people are attempting to do something which is very distasteful to me, and I will support anyone or anything that’s done to put a stop to it.”

In addressing the crowd, West explained what may very well be his reasoning for hosting the event in the first place:

“my fear is that maybe we could end up forgetting what happened on 9/11 because of certain things such as political correctness or this desire to be a multicultural America. But in being a multicultural America we must never forget the fundamental principles and value that make us great.”

He continued, discussing his views about faith and religion. In a pointed notation, he explained his belief that Islam must go through the “reform process” just as other world religions have been forced to do:

“I think we have to understand that the major religions of this world—Judaism and Christianity—did go through reformations. Now we look at this next major religion…they need to go through a reform process as well.”

Of course, this comment will be looked at by some as an effort to tie together the radical actions of a small subset of Islamic adherents with the wider pool of believers.

Below, watch these comments, among others, in a video captured by TPM:

But for those claiming that West is trying to legally restrict individuals from the right to build at Ground Zero, it‘s important to note that he drew a distinction between what’s legal and what is, in his view, morally acceptable:

“Nobody is saying you cannot build a mosque in New York City. That’s not the question. The question is will you honor and hold in reverence what we just heard today? This is a sacred site for some people, this is a site that really is a burial ground. Do we really want this to happen? It’s not about the constitution, it’s about what’s morally right.”

In an article posted on Wednesday, Death and Taxes’ Andrew Belonsky wrote, “Representative Allen West has quite the record of inflammatory rhetoric.” In the title of the piece, Belonsky essentially calls West “anti-Islam.” ThinkProgress shared these views, writing:

There’s room for a healthy debate about how to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the worst terrorist attacks on the United States, but Sacrificed Survivors, with its distorted version of events and bigoted attacks on Islam, poisons that debate rather than contributing to it. The only thing it proves is how marginal Rep. West’s views — and sense of what constitute a dignified, respectful, and productive conversation about religion and national security — continue to be.

What do you think? Does this event and the statements made within it indicate that West is anti-Islam? Take our poll:

    Educate yourself and read the book “The Sword Of The Prophet” by Serge Trifkovic. This a very eye opening book. Until Moo“ham”ed had his vision in a cave, tribes could not kill anyone in their own tribe. Moo“ham”ed changed all that stating that God said it was okay. The foundation was all about killing, stealing, and forceful conversion. And the rest of the Arabs said “Allah Chocolate Bar”, which is the western version of “Wahooo, get ‘em”. Moo“ham”ed was a murderer, liar, thief, and most of all a pedophile.

      I find it so sad that ‘We The People’ were unable to draft Allen West to run for president. My strong feelings for him are directly tied to this one issue. He is one of the very few in this country that really understands the real threat we face from Islam. Islam wants only one of two things from us, and they do us a favor by writing it out plainly for all to see… “Convert or Die”. That is their agenda. Period. End of story! Allen West knows this because he is a student of history and an expert on both Korans, and the Surahs.
      If we had convinced him to run for POTUS he would have had the best opportunity to beat Obama by the margin needed to secure a victory over Obama. Not only would he have beaten Obama and saved this country from complete destruction, he would do whatever it takes to convince terrorists that it would be a very bad idea to mess with the USA further. And because West is an intelligent and thoughful man, he would put the very finest people to work immediately to do whatever it takes to turn our economy around. He would take off the strangle-hold of government regulations to help unleash Americans to super-charge the jobs market again.
      But because we Americans are stuck-on-stupid we will hand Obama another 4 years.

    Saw an item on the web where in Spain, some locals were trying to stop the construction of a mosque in a place that the locals deemed inappropriate. They ceremoniously buried a dead pig on the site and the ground was then pronounced tainted by the muslims and therefore the mossque was not built. Seems like a very inexpensive way to stop the consruction of the ground zero mosque. Bury a big porker there and make a big deal out of it. Maybe MSNBC could cover it and maybe that would end the debate.

      WRONG analogy. Lloyd, muslims are taught the example set by their prophet of Islam is taken as “uswa hasana al insan al kamil” — meaning every soldier of Allah seeks to emulate Muhammad because he was the perfect man for all time. There is no such doctrine in American faith structures towards the founding fathers.

      The problem is, Islam is based around the lies of a rapist, murder, pedophile who was just a man, nothing more and knew he was just a man…. he wanted to be on par with Jesus, so he denied that Jesus was the son of God and was just a prophet.

      mohammud made up some story about been transported up to Heaven to meet before God and he claimed that Jesus was there just among him and other prophets, this is utter and total nonsense – why would anyone believe that God would choose to bring a murder, rapist, pedophile up to Heaven and instruct him to kill people?!??

      Maybe the truth is more like mohammud was swallowed into the earth, stood before satan and satan commanded him to go out and kill people, the way mohammud talks, it sounds like that is far more plausible… God does NOT teach its children to kill one another – why does every other religion teach peace and acceptance with other religions, but only islam teaches to kill followers of other beliefs, this is because islam is the twisted perversion of a religion by a murdering rapist pedophile and a liar – called mohammud…. he is the teller of lies.

      Let’s grant that Muhammad was a murdering, raping pedophile. When you judge Islam solely by the character of its founder, you are sort of in the position of the people who condemn the US and all its works because many of its founders were slaveholders. Emotionally satisfying, but not completely logical.

      Muhammad through his delusions (and I have little doubt that’s what they were) came to believe that Christians had received the Koran through Jesus but had corrupted it and adulterated it with ths idea of the Trinity, which to him denied the oneness of God. Trying to restore divine unity, he strenuously denied that he was anything but a man, and his actions certainly prove it!

      It seems he may have been preaching his message to some existing body of Arab “believers” in one God who were trying to reconcile Christianity and Islam (see “Muhammad and the Believers” by one Fred Donner. Those who believed would have to give up fighting one another, putting an end to tribal feuds among “Muslims” (those who submitted to God by following Muhammad). Hence the idea that Islam is a “religion of peace.”

      West is right that Islam needs a reform such as other great religions have undergone. What it needs most of all is to examine critically its own early history, as Christians have been doing for some time.

      @ Lloyd drako

      Comparing Mohammad/Islam with the United States/Washington is absolutely ridiculous.

      To say Mohammad thought Christians corrupted the faith thru the trinity is simple speculation. Based on the historical Archaeological facts of Allah . http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Islamic%20Muslim/moon_god.htm. This theory is flawed at best.

      Your other theory, (reconcile Christianity and Islam) by bringing the tribes together by the blade didn’t begin until the march to Medina. Prior to that Islam coexisted with Christians and Jews. Hence quotes from those today who claim Islam is peaceful non violent and that their religion was hijacked but by abrogation that argument as well is flawed. But thats a different subject altogether.

      You suggest Islam should reform like other religions? Really? Just how was Christs love reformed? Islam isn‘t a religion it’s a political ideology shrouded in a religion. http://www.politicalislam.com/principles/pages/five-principles/ Islam’s success comes primarily from its politics. In thirteen years as a spiritual leader, Mohammed converted 150 people to his religion. When he became a political leader and warrior, Islam exploded in growth, and Mohammed became king of Arabia in ten years.

      Steve:
      Ridiculous, yes, but the logic is the same.“Allah” as worshipped in pre-Muslim Arabia was indeed probably a moon god. (Some think “Yahweh” may initially have been a volcano god–pillar of fire and pillar of cloud and all that.) Muhammad came to identify this “Allah” with the God of the Jews and Christians, but after initial attempts to appeal to them, he found that the Jews resisted his message, and the Christians, even worse, persisted in what to him seemed polytheism, worshipping “God the Son” as well as “God the Father.” His final break with the 2 older religious communities occurred after the flight to Medina, which is where the putative “believer” community already existed. The earlier, Meccan suras of the Koran would have been addressed to pagan Arabs, not Jews or Christians, and would have been aimed, among other things, at damping down tribal conflict. Hence–again–a “religion of peace.”Jesus’ love may not need reforming, but from time to time institutional and doctrinal Christianity has undergone reform. There were the earliest Pauline attempts to root out libertinism, the Iconoclastic movement in Eastern Christendom, the Gregorian reforms in the 11th-century Catholic Church, and of course the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Over the course of time, the net effect of these was to disconnect church and state and to end religious persecution in most of the West. I see no reason why Islam should not also undergo ref

      Erecting a very large mosque at ground zero is no different than erecting a large monument to Hiroheto right outside Pearl Harbor, Sure, it’s legal but it is also extremely disrespectful and is meant to be a slap in our face. This is Muslim 101 and that is to tear down something of importance to a culture and build a mosque on top of the rubble. I would love to see someone open a food stand or cart and sell pork rinds, BBQ pork and pigs blood right in front of this mosque, Wouldn’t hurt if a little of the pigs blood spilled. Or maybe a gay bar right next door and have happy hour on Friday afternoon. I‘ll bet you’d be the first to scream insensitivity of Americans. You must be young and I understand, in school and at home, you weren’t taught love of country, respect for your neighbor, our national heritage or our Constitution. Americans have done much wrong in this world but on the other hand the good we done far outweighs our bad side. How many muslim doctors go, unpaid, to foreign countries to treat the poor? How many countries are as generous as the U.S.. Hell, the U.S. at the end of WWII did something unprecedented – they forgave their enemies and we paid billions if not trillions to rebuild their countries and societies which surely would not have treated us as more than human fodder. Until Muslims allow a Jew to live in Mecca or someone other than an Arab be in their government then they and people who think like you can kiss my behind.

      @Rsoe — you may be content to live as a dhimmi but I and a number of other posters here will NOT.

      You really should try reading a bit more — try Brigitte Gabriel or Mark Gabriel. Brigitte was a Lebanese Christian who was nearly killed by her muslim neighbors during the Civil War and muslim takeover of Lebanon. She has much to teach you abt islam. Mark was a muslim and professor at the main university in Cairo before he awakened to the hypocrisy and violence inherent in islam. Only later did he convert to Christianity and escape the region.

      Christianity does not say to kill the apostate. Rather, it says to walk away.

      Islam demands the death of the apostate. No quibbling.

      In big, bad America, you can be anything you wish, so long as you don‘t impinge on your neighbor’s rights. In muslim-majority countries, you really have no freedom to be Christian or other.

      I know that your mind is already made up, and that I should not confuse you with the facts, but I will because God loves you and does not wish you to die in ignorance. The muslims will come for you, too, just as they will for their favorite infidel, Prof Joe Esposito.

      I believe in first ammendment rights. People can be muslim if they so chose. I can also exercise my right to free speech. Islam is not on par with christianity (christianity is not about religion, it is about relationship) . It is not a religion, it is a form of government that holds people in slavery (literally). I have read the quaran, and lived in two seperate muslim nations. I know a little. It was not Baptists that flew airplanes into the twin towers and the pentagon. It was not baptists, methodists, presbaterians…. that were out in the street celebrating after 9/11. Muslims attacked this nation, and they attack around the world. When is the last time you saw a baptist strap a bomb on his chest, and blow himself up in the middle of a market with women and kids?

      John Quincy Adams on Islam:

      “In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar [i.e., Muhammad], the Egyptian, [.....] Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST.- TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE…. Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant … While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men.”

      Winston Churchill on Islam:

      How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

      A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

      Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it.

      No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome

      Notice how Islam degrades heaven to be some sort of glandular experience for men only. This is a complete contradiction to Biblical truth.

      in sura 47.15, 55.54-56, 83.22, & 83.25 it says repeatedly all male martyrs will go straight to heaven and awarded “voluptuous fair virgin maidens, rivers of wine, best fruits, milk and honey”.

      The Quran in sura 3.106,107 says Allah recognized white people, as good and black people as bad.

      Allah orders muslims to kill to spread Islam as stated in sura 4.74.

      Allah orders muslims to kill anyone who gives up Islam, in sura 4.86

      In sura 9.29 & 9.5 Allah calls muslims to kill unbelievers unless they submit.

      In sura 22.52, Allah says he removed Satan’s verses from the Quran. How sure are you that all Satan’s verses were removed and how did Satan get to the Quran?

      In sura 4.11 & 2.282 the Quran says a male’s inheritance is double that of a female, (A legal will is not allowed in Islam). It also says one male witness equals to two female witnesses. Why are muslim females only half of a male?

      The Quran says in sura 96.1 & 96.2 that man was created from a blood clot, but 21.3 & 24.45 says from water,19.67 from nothing, 3.59 & 35.11 from clay, 15.26 from mud and 16.4 & 75.37 says from a thickened liquid. Which part of the Quran is wrong

      Wow, an actual reply this time. I am impressed.

      Above you commented – “You are not a Christian, you are a bigot that hides behind a cross”. Now you claim christianity is a myth, If it is a myth, how do you judge my christianity, and to what standard?

      Check this out. In 1948 when the Jews returned to Israel, countless Bible prophecies were fulfilled. The Bible told us that the Jews would scatter, they would be persecuted, return to Israel, Egypt would not longer rule other nations, ruins would be rubuilt,,Jerusalem would become the world’s most important religious site, growth of trees, a moder day Israel…..

      How do you explain so many different authors over such a long period of time, and it all coming together. Explain the importance of Israel the world over. It is a tiny nation

      Men throughout history have killed in the name of religion. The bible speaks of it, but if you think you can place the Quaran on the same level as the Bible, you are sadly mistaken.

      Just looke at the number of authors in the bible, and see how it all fits together. The Quran was wrote by one businessman ( who claimed to be illiterate). He had Noa living in the time of Moses, and claimed that Satan wrote some of the Quran. This same writer of the quran had sex with his son’s wife, and when he was in his forties, had sex with a nine year old girl. He spread his false religion by the sword and spear, and there have been no prophecies from the quaran fulfilled.

All those who come against Christianity but are for Sharia Law and Religion, either lack the knowledge of what Sharia really is or they want America to be taken over by Muslims.

      I am just baffled at your statements. As a believer or you call us “Christian” we are to pray for our enemies and to hate no one and definitely not persecute anyone in God’s name. 

      Yes, Islam is a false fake abusive religion. Much of it is based on hate, the very hate your displaying for Islam. Does this make you equal? Yes. Realize that. 

      Our Constitution was founded by believers, Christian, who fled persecution, not ones forming a country to persecute in Religion’s name. Our country was established as a Nation of Christians, not a Christian Nation. Believe in the contract these Christian men made as it neutralizes authoritative Governments, Islam for example. 

      I am not anti-Islam, nor does that make me pro-Islam. That makes me Constitutional and Christian. Follow the Constitution and Islam can never thrive. Leave it to persecute in Religion’s name and you become the very thing your fighting which can turn on YOU.

      @ OKIE Yes, I realize that we as Christians are supposed to love our enemies. But hatred of them is something that God has purged me of as of yet, though I keep asking. God said we are to love the person but not the evil, and Islam is evil. Even God Himself told King Saul to do away with them and their animals.Since we are made in His image, I would imagine this to be a struggle for most. Just 4 yrs after 9/11 we have a Muslim in the Whitehouse initiating and furthering the Muslim Agenda. The MN senator went to the Arab countries offering 300-350 jobs in government. They will take us over using our own Constitution. Why do you think Obama has a Pro-Sharia cabinet and Zhars and has appointed pro sharia judges? Islam is a theocracy. I realize that I need to be ready, for as Jesus said to Peter, you gird yourself and go where you want, one day someone else will gird you and lead you to where you do not want to go. Are you ready for that day Okie?

      Who said anything about persecuting anyone? I am talking about not drinking the PC Kool Aid, and embracing reality. Islam is not about religion, it is about power and taking over the world. Read it, it is in plain……Arabic (I put it in english for you though). As I said above, I read the quaran, and have lived in two seperate muslim nations. I know these people. They are not the freind of America or our constitiution. their alegience is to their false religion and sharia law. They are destroying much of Europe. Look at France, GB, Norway….. Are you blind. Multiculturalism is destroying America. We let the enemy in he back door, and then practice policital correctness to an extreem.

      The emperror’s clothes are off, his big fat shiney white bare butt is showing. I am not going to turn a blind eye, and tell you everything is fine.

      Obama claimed that America is not a christian nation, but in Egypt, he called us a muslim nation. I want a politician who has guts, and knows who the enemy is. Islam is the enemy. Under our fist ammendment, you can practice any religion you want, under free speech, I can tell you the truth about your evil false religion. read what John Adams had to say about Islam.

      If you are going to tell me anything about Christianity, you best quote book and verse, otherwise it is useless opinion.

      Wake up.

      I meant no disrespect and must warn fellow believers from harboring hate, which will destroy their faith. Islam is evil and we have no business being in a Muslim country being friends with them, nation building them, nor supporting them. We are friends with Saudi Arabia, even under “Conservative” Christian Bush, but Saudi enforces Sharia. How is that being true and fighting this evil? This last rise of Islam has brought about the rise of persecuting “Christians”, opposite of what a Christian is to be. Just a simple warning from a fellow believer to let go of the hate and trust fully in God.

      @RangerP

      You are not the only one who has lived in Muslim countries. Not all Muslims hate us but a lot see our actions in their lands as acts against them and their faith. Just as YOU see Islam as the enemy invading your country. How does someone practicing a false religion and believing in a false God pick your pocket or stop you from worship? It does not. 

      Why were you in a Muslim country? To “redeem” them? Being a responsible Christian we must look at our actions of the past to see if they created the issues we have today, and when doing so we see they did. Continuing these same actions will not fix the problem but only make them worse. If you stand by the Constitution, Islam will never thrive here, never. 

      If you’d like the Bible verse of not to persecute, I’ll provide.

      @ OKIE..I know that you meant no disrespect…but like I said, they have infiltrated our government at the invitation of liberals. They are a theocracy and a Obama has served to further their agenda in taking over the world, including us. He has surrounded himself with pro sharia law judges and Czars . What is to stop them from changing our Constitution.? Bush didn’t even have power over lower court judges, as in the case of Terri Shivo. I believe that we have been taken over to the point that it won’t be much longer that the constitution will be changed. I am a Constituitionalist and would support a Palin/ Paul ticket. BUt we are overlooking the Islamic agenda in the United States and all over the world, They picked a black/white muslim for President of the US. There are lots of agendas going on there and a lot of snow jobbing. We are in deep trouble. I need to be purged of my anger and hatred, but it is difficult in the face of Satan. America has been the victim of the greatest heist in history both in finance and an overwhelming theocracy. This has been the calculated downfall of America and many countries for the incoming NWO

      If you believe in Jesus Christ you know Islam holds no power, it’s false. What is the difference in a Muslim holding office and an atheist, Christian, or any faith? Nothing as they all must follow our Constitution if we force them to.

      If a Muslim did become President, and honestly I do not feel bad BO is one but more a false Christian or atheist, and such Muslim changed our Constitution for Sharia an up rising would occur by the American people and military. 

      Liberals and Conservatives both have invited Muslims to Government, not just Liberals. Being responsible we have to be honest. Bush was a big supporter of Islam and was also touted by Conservatives as Christian. 

      I have talked with you several times and I encourage you to keep your faith in God. I’ve found you pretty versed and knowledable around God. I do ask you if you believe in 7 year trib theory? I do not and can show it false thru Daniel 9:27. 

      As were the days of Noe so will be the days of the coming of the Lord. No matter what we do, the world will turn more and more evil. Only Jesus will stop it. 

      In my faith, the NWO is here, UN with the 2nd beast, which established current Israel, are in full force as well. As I see it all those who reject Jesus or known as anti-Christ have surrounded Jerusalem. Jew, reject Jesus, Muslim, reject Jesus, and followers of Pope, proclaims to be Christ on Earth, reject Jesus. something to ponder. 

      Stay strong and stay safe….

      Thanks Okie..yes I remember our conversation about Zech 13,14, an 15 Since I have asked for guidance by the Holy Spirit and studied these verses extensively. I have a John Macarthur study Bible and I found his teachings, which are kind of long, but I believe accurate. He quotes a literal commentary from a 1919 I believe by a David Baron. You can listen on each verse. I am not sure how long the tribulation takes place, but there is something about a 7 yr peace treaty that will be broken. This is as good as it gets.

      You are mixing topics, and assuming hatred that was never claimed.

      I lived amongst the muslims as a advisor in Iraq and Afghanistan. Made some very good friends, and did not hate any of them

      I do hate the religion of Islam, and have seen what it does, especially in Afghanistan. It is a tool of power. The religious leaders killed school teachers and professionals, and they then rule the people with their false religion.

      You believe we do not belong in the middle east, that is your right, and has nothing to do with my claim that I would hope our politicians are anti islam. Islam is anti Bible, and Anti America.

      Would be nice if we could drill for our own oil, and negate some of the necessity of being in the middle east (JMO).

      I simply was warning a fellow believer, you, to not let the hate of Islam consume you. You just said you hate Islam. Instead of hating Islam let’s defeat it by spreading the word of Christ. Too many want to persecute Islam, in the name of Christianity, and that should worry us believers. Just look at this board. 

      Have you been thru Dubai? I couldn’t believe the wealth there. People were rude and snotty. 

      I agree, we should drill for our own resources. I contend this question again, if Islam is evil, are we evil by association? USA being friends with Sharia compliant countries make us evil? 

      I hope you know I have a lot of respect for you in how you conduct conversations on the board and willingness to search for truth and most importantly for your service. 

      In my belief the Church becomes a persecutor and I see Islam as the excuse to bring that about.

      Thank you for sharing the link. I’m all about searching for truth. 

      7 year peace or treaty is based off 7 year tribulation theory and is all based off Daniel 9, 70 weeks. 

      I respectfully ask you to look into Daniel 9:26-27

      Verse 26 tells us messiah is cut off *after* the 62 week period, leaving it in the 1 week or 70th week. 7 year tribulation theory says this 70th week has yet to occur. Understanding these two verses totally unravels the 7 year tribulation theory.

      Conversation with you is always interesting and thought provoking. We see a few things differently, but for the most part, we are on the same side of the fence.

      If it were not for oil, most of the middle east would be nothing more than wandering goat herders.

      It is interesting that Afghanistan is sitting on huge copper, lithium, and other precious metal deposits. They are more interested in farming poppies though.

      It is amazing the raw materials in Afghanistan and yet they choose to be drug makers. Saddening. Even worse is their rich neighboring countries do not invest and develop Afghanistan to help setup that country and extract those minerals.

I do not believe every Muslim in this country is good, and I believe there are many who plan on being in the street to change this country when they get the chance. I also believe they “use” our countries laws and trust to get themselves in positions to try to change this country. Are they all bad? Maybe not, some are good, but they have been very silent on things they should have been standing against-and that makes me not trust their agenda. Their silence is deafening, and trust is earned.

      Islam is the enemy of the United States. Islam is the evil that creeps and destroys the very concepts that our founders created thru divine providence. Allah’s one command that every Muslim must follow is to have all men submit to him or be subjected to slavery or death. I don’t understand why this is hard for people to understand. Moderate Muslims who don’t follow these commands are not true Muslims. They are mandated to follow the Koran, hadith and Sira.

      Our very first war after our independence was with Islamists who from that day to this day continue to preach the same message.

      “it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

      What is so hard to understand that Islam is the problem not those who kill or take verses out of context. It IS the verses that promote death, hate and destruction for all non Islam.
