Is God surprised by the rise of Islam? No, in fact, Islam may be who Isaiah 17 ("Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.") speaks of.
Has God lost His omnipotence because of Islam? No, Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever."
Is there an exemption for dealing with Islam specifically in the commands of God? Define specifically, i.e, in reference to what?
Does anything done by them change anything God commanded? Again, what do you mean here?
Who is the verse you placed in bold type directed to, is it a command given the resident foreigner living alongside them or is it given to His chosen people? That's pretty obvious, isn't it? Most western laws are handed down through our Judeo-Christian heritage, not Mohammed. Foreigners who plan on settling in the west should expect to have to live by them.
Or how about from the Sermon on the Mount:[?] What about it??? Was it said in the Sermon on the Mount, blessed is he who severs the head of another; or lies to further the Word of God, or rapes his enemies wives, or steals the property of the unbeliever, ..., ?
Were the Romans somehow less oppressive to the Israelites with their floggings and crucifixions than muslims are now? Yes, they're no longer doing it!
Is not the narrow gate to resist our “natural impulses” in whatever area they pop up? We're not talking about our impulses here, we're talking about the "natural impulse" of those who practice radical Islamism.
Isn’t falling to our baser instincts to extract revenge and dole out the same kind of treatment we receive from others, particularly when that treatment is negative, oppressive or hateful us being overcome by evil?
You constantly seek to divert the evil of that is Islam and its deeds whereby millions have been raped, tortured, enslaved, and slaughtered in its name, to some kind of negative treatment we should cautiously avoid criticizing, much less trying to do something about. That's a rather stupid, leftist viewpoint. It's our inclination, even our duty to protect the innocent, the oppressed, and the downtrodden, and our God-given right to protect ourselves, our families, and our land from this evil.
I'm curious why you are attempting to justify the importing of radical islamic terrorists to the West.
What the Romans did to the Christians, and Jews, has nothing to do with Muslims. I'm not sure why you keep mentioning it. Is it an effort to justify actions by radical Islamist of today?
Can you argue with anything that I posted as being something that God did not say ?
I gave argument to your "misplaced" assumptions in the previous post. I detest using the phrase "gas lighting", but it seems that's what you're trying do here by building a case based on the commandment to do good which somehow is suppose to justify allowing those committed to evil into our country?
My point being all we need to do is what God commanded us to do everything else is up to Him.
James 2:14-26(NIV) Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
As Rahab assisted/protected the Hebrews, we must assist and protect those whom the Islamist seek to harm. One way to do that is to keep them off our soil.
Some of the exact same quotes Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine (Hillary's V.P. pick) used just today, in an appeal to bring even more Muslims into the U.S. Which, BTW, as many have noted, including president Trump, that over 90% of the Syrian refugees brought here were Muslims, and noticeably the real Syrian Refugees in danger, the Christians, weren't allow in by the previous, rotten to the core, administration.
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
I think it’s in the Book of Hezekiah. Says something like, “Thou knowest they are serpents; thou shalt not take them in.”

I see you've just recently created an account on FR and your posts indicate your business is to covertly bring jihad to America.
