After Pearl Harbor was attacked, the United States declared war on Japan within hours. The enemy was demonized and vilified; it served to channel this nation’s collective anger in the most productive direction. Ultimately, it paid off in victory. Another enemy similarly attacked us on September 11th, 2001 but instead of a Declaration of War against an enemy, Americans themselves were issued a Declaration or Warn – Islam is peaceful and should not be examined – while being told to direct their anger at a tactic used by the real enemy.
The true enemy of America that hit us on 9/11 was the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliated groups, which include Hamas and al Qaeda, according to Islam expert Robert Spencer. Islamic expert Steve Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism even quotes chief counter-terrorism advisor under both Clinton and Bush – Richard Clarke in 2003, while talking about Hamas and al Qaeda:
“The common link here is the extremist Muslim Brotherhood – all of these organizations are descendants of the membership and ideology of the Muslim Brothers.”
Other groups under that umbrella include the Council on American Islamic.....

No news here. We live in a different world than in the 30’s. People would rather pretend there is no threat and if we ignore it it will go away.
Tell that to the occupant of the White House, the great muslim empowerer!
Thanks.

A unified people, facing threats in a unified manner are an existential threat to those that would enslave us and bring about a totalitarian police state, where citizens are reduced to mere consuming serfs.
Lots of us are fully willing to say that the enemy is anyone who takes Islam so seriously that they insist on forcing every one who is not of Islam that religion’s Three Demands: convert, submit or die.
There are lots of Christians who cannot quite bring themselves to accept the full weight of what Scripture really says. That, for example, Jesus states in Revelation 22:15 that those who practice sexual immorality cannot inherit eternal life. But what happens when a person becomes more deeply converted to Christianity? They should become a more peaceful and godly person.
But contrast this with Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood are accused of promoting a violent, “extreme” version of Islam. What did they really do? They convince people to read the various Islamic holy books (Quor’an, Hadith, etc.) and take what they say more seriously. The result? When a person becomes a more deeply converted Muslim, they become far more willing to commit acts of violent Islamic-framed actions against anyone who does not accept their beliefs. Further, such people accept that to die while attempting to visit the wrath of Allah on people allows them to go to the head of the line at the gates of the Pearly Brothel.
In short, a Christian becomes less dangerous as he understand Christianity more. A Muslim becomes more dangerous as he understands Islam more.
And just because a lot of Muslims cannot quite bring themselves to be violent does not make their religion the “religion of peace” either. Islam has a totally different meaning of the word “peace” than do the rest of us. “Peace” in Islam means you either pay the annual tax to be a second-class infidel citizen or you have converted and are a faithful member of the ummah, the collective body of Islam.
If a candidate for political office cannot accept the truth about Islam, they won’t be able to accept the truth about a lot of other dangers to our safety, such as the danger posed by having an open border and the danger of our present Thelma and Louise fiscal policy.

That didn't sound familiar in that book, so I looked it up in several very different translations. The verse doesn't say that, or anything close to that.
Here is the verse from the King James translation:
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
It doesn't say anyone cannot inherit eternal life, but lists several groups who have already lost it by not repenting when they could have, including those who practiced one particular sexual sin, not sexual immorality in general, which is condemned elsewhere.
Anyone who repents can inherit eternal life. Don't misrepresent Scriptures.
My comment was a summary of this passage, in which “dogs” is the polite Jewish term for male homosexual prostitute.
The context here is who will be allowed in the New Jerusalem and who will be excluded. The New Jerusalem is only for those people who have repented of their sins and accepted the free, but conditional offer of Jesus (John 3:16). Those who are “outside” are those who are explicitly excluded and will perish. See for example Rev. 21:8.
You are correct in the fact that anyone who satisfies the conditions laid down by Our Lord will receive his free gift of salvation. Revelation 21:8 and many other passages (such as the wheat and tares of Matthew 13) make it clear that some people will refuse to repent.
