Did you catch any of President Obama’s speech in front of the U.N. General Assembly yesterday? Hello?
Yes, welcome to post-Christian America, where our cherished freedoms of religion and speech are less and less secure every day ~
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. Yet to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied. [?? Pardon me for suspecting that this sentence was purposely muddled] Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims, and Shiite pilgrims. It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: “Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.” Together, we must work towards a world where we are strengthened by our differences, and not defined by them. That is what America embodies, and that is the vision we will support. 😯
Of course the mainstream media approves and applauds such a tolerant approach to world affairs. And while plotting their global Caliphate, the barbaric Jihadists secretly cheer, thrilled that the infidels are so intimidated they’ll willingly muzzle themselves rather than risk offending with the truth.
So it’s left to conservatives like Erick Erickson at Red State to translate the scary message behind the pompous rhetoric, and the chilling implication for free speech: President Obama Declares The Future Must Not Belong to Practicing Christians ~
It is an orthodox Christian belief that Mohammed is not a prophet. Actual Christians, as opposed to many of the supposed Christians put up by the mainstream media, believe that Christ is the only way to salvation. Believing that is slandering Mohammed. That’s just a fact. If you don’t believe me, you go into the Middle East and proclaim Christ is the way, the truth, and the life and see what happens to your life.
Get that? Simply being a Christian is an insult to Islam.
Now, in point of fact, this is a major difference between Islam and Christianity. Christ came to this world as an enemy of the world and expected to be impugned. He also tells his followers that they should expect to be impugned. There is joy in being persecuted for following the Risen Lord. In Islam, if you impugn Mohammed, you get a fatwa on your butt.
…when the secular world demands tolerance for all, tolerance for all means we cannot have standards of faith to live by, because those standards obviously require we be intolerant of sins this world has embraced.
“Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.”
~ Thomas Mann ~
