Who is at war with whom?
The occupant of the Oval Office on June 4, 2009 said in his Cairo, Egypt foreign policy speech that “I’ve come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles — principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.” He also said that “America is not–and never will be–at war with Islam.” He referred to violent extremists 9 times, but never referred to them as Islamic or Muslim. To this day, he refuses to blame Muslims or Islam.
In response to the Islamic terrorist attack by the Taliban killing over 120 school children in Pakistan, the “president” said, “The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s horrific attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar, Pakistan. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims, their families, and loved ones. By targeting students and teachers in this heinous attack, terrorists have once again shown their depravity. We stand with the people of Pakistan, and reiterate the commitment of the United States to support the Government of Pakistan in its efforts to combat terrorism and extremism and to promote peace and stability in the region.” Still no mention of Islam or Muslims.
He put US military power behind the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda to overthrow the Libyan government, and continued his support of these Islamic terrorist groups in overthrowing governments across Northern Africa and the Middle East, most notably Egypt. His attempt at overthrowing the Syrian government has fallen short. His efforts, however, paved the way to the rise of the Islamic State (IS), whose leadership was released from prison in Iraq and many were trained by the US in Jordan (to fight against Syria). Now the IS is moving across the Middle East, mass murdering, burning Christians alive, beheading Christian children and conducting a ruthless cleansing of all those who disagree with it.
James 1:8 says, “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” The “president” lives in the land of double-mindedness. On one hand, he condemns the acts of “violent extremists,” on the other he assists them in their barbaric deeds. But the one thing he is truly stable on is that America is not at war with Islam. The “president’s” war is against Americans. He spies on them. He forces government upon them. He refuses to provide border security. He stirs ethnic and cultural division. He uses unconstitutional government agencies to chokehold those who disagree with him. He dilutes the value of citizenship. He imposes excessive taxes and spends even more excessively. Who is at war with whom?
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
