The ‘End of the Beginning’ on Shariah?

By: American Decency Staff

Personal note: Look.  I’m very concerned about the advancement of Islam in our great country.  You might say what does that have to do with the Biblical ethic of decency which you promote – day in and day out? My response is that God blesses those who obey Him and removes His blessing as we disobey. God says in His Word (Exodus 20:3-6:  “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.  You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,  but showing steadfast love to thousands  of those who love me and keep my commandments.â€ÂI have been heavy hearted over the naïveté of some friends and fellow believers who seem to be oblivious to the movement of Islam in America.  Of course, the controversy surrounding the possibilities of building a Mosque near Ground Zero has shed more light upon this matter of vital societal concern; a concern that carries significant implications for family, faith and freedom. I heard Frank Gaffney speak at the Value Voters Summit in Washington DC in 2008.  I was impressed and helped through his scholarship. I encourage you to read the following article from Townhall entitled: “The 'End of the Beginning' on Shariah?â€ÂÂ  See: http://townhall.com/columnists/FrankGaffney/2010/08/24/the_end_of_the_beginning_on_shariah/page/full As I looked out at the thousands of people assembled near Ground Zero on Sunday to oppose the construction of a megamosque there, I was reminded of Winston Churchill's famous line that enspirited Britain at the first sign the tide was turning in World War II: "Now, this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." To be sure, the rally held two blocks from the World Trade Center was not a decisive defeat of the enemy like that dealt by the storied British "Desert Rats" to Hitler's Afrika Korps in November 1942. But there was something pivotal about the fact that throngs of ordinary Americans – many of them family or friends of those who died on 9/11 – had come together to stand for hours in an intermittent rain not just to contest the construction of a megamosque at a wholly inappropriate location, but in informed opposition to the impetus behind that mosque: shariah. … http://townhall.com/columnists/FrankGaffney/2010/08/24/the_end_of_the_beginning_on_shariah/page/full God-fearing Americans need to be informing themselves on the implications of the movement of those practicing taqqiya and stealth jihad. And, most importantly God-fearing Americans need to be humbling themselves and seeking His face and remembering their God and all that He has done for us in this land of so much abundance, grace,mercy and Truth. ==================================== Donate online: https://secure4.afo.net/ada/donate.php American Decency Association P.O.
