Again, he referred to the terrorists as practicing a perverted, radical form of Islam. I sure hope he knows better&#8230; and that someday he&#8217;ll just come out and say the truth?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a fundamentalist Christian. I read my Bible every day, work to memorize key verses, believe it&#8217;s the inspired word of God, and I do my best to live my life accordingly. I&#8217;m not a &#8220;radical&#8221; Christian, although in these days of prosperity preaching and the church growth movement, Christians who actually read their Bible do tend to stand out. But I&#8217;m taking my faith at its fundamentals by reading the &#8220;instruction manual&#8221; that God provided, putting my faith and trust in it, and doing my best to conform my life to God&#8217;s teachings in it.<\/p>\n<p>These terrorists are fundamentalist Muslims. They read and memorize the Koran. They believe it&#8217;s the inspired words of their god allah and his prophet. They do their best to follow the teachings in it. They are not radical Muslims, they&#8217;re just reading the instruction manual that mohammed gave them, and trying to follow it.<\/p>\n<p>How many Christians do you know that are sold out for their faith&#8230; witnessing to people, eagerly giving their testimony, and trying to tell others of their need for Jesus Christ as their savior? Certainly not the majority of them. But that&#8217;s what God wants us to do: the great commission, as it&#8217;s called, is to &#8220;go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.&#8221; While any Christians who do that may stand out in this day and age, they&#8217;re the only ones doing what God told them to do.<\/p>\n<p>The same thing pertains to the terrorists. They think a god told them to convert people to their twisted religion, by the sword if necessary. And, while they&#8217;re mistaken, they&#8217;re doing just what the book they read tells them to do. They might stand out from the millions of peaceful Muslims out there&#8230;but if one uses the Koran to judge them, they&#8217;re the ones who are really practicing it.<\/p>\n<p>Political correctness will be our undoing. When grandmas are pulled aside and searched while middle Eastern men are given a pass so as not to offend them, then we&#8217;re sunk. If we can&#8217;t refer to our enemy as what he truly is, then we&#8217;ll never defeat him.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and one more aside; if we figure that these terrorists are just a minority among the nations of Islam, we&#8217;re fooling ourselves. Look at all the hate that&#8217;s being taught in mosques all around the world, including in our own country. And we&#8217;d be naive to think that the peaceful Muslims will make a difference; have you EVER heard a representative of Islam condemn a terrorist act against the West? Never. CAIR is proof that they realize how to beat us over the head with our own politically correct sensitivities. Well, if the &#8220;moderate Muslims&#8221; here and abroad won&#8217;t even speak out against terrorism now, what makes anyone think they&#8217;ll make a difference when things get worse?<\/p>\n<p>President Bush: If you really think that it&#8217;s a perverted version of Islam that we&#8217;re fighting, get better advisors. If you know the truth, please say it. America&#8217;s ready to hear it. Take a stand and call on CAIR and other such groups to denounce terrorism&#8230; we all know they won&#8217;t. Let&#8217;s make them show their true colors instead of being afraid to point them out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watched the Presidential Address tonight while working in the garage (see next post) and heard something again that really ticked me off.
