National Identity Is Not Enough
MovieguideĀ® ^ | October 8, 2005 | Tom Snyder

Posted on 10/08/2005 11:48:11 AM PDT by Simi Valley Tom

People in England were shocked to learn that the four original terrorists who blew up subways and buses in London this summer were cricket-playing native sons of Yorkshire. Also, the bombers were not poor, they were not “marginalized,” they were not from disturbed or broken families, and they were not living in a culturally separate world.

No, these four men were radical Muslims who believed fervently in the Koran. And, they rejected the Gospel of Jesus Christ, because they live in an anti-Christian atmosphere of anti-Christian prejudice and bigotry, not just in their Muslim community but also in England, where Christianity has been in decline for decades.

Clearly, national identity and financial comfort are not enough to stave off the demons of Islamic terror. Only the full expression of the Gospel of Jesus Christ can bring true peace to the hearts of these troubled Muslims, and the hearts of the rest of the people in this world.

If, however, our leaders (and that includes our political leaders in Washington, D.C.) continue to fight the spread of this Gospel and continue to be cowed by the atheists and anti-Christian bigots in the mass media and in the teachers unions, then the same Islamic terror that occurred in London this summer will also occur here, sooner rather than later.

In short, they were terrorists! Don't look for a good reason!

Look out, your asking people to examine what should be the obvious. We can take anything on faith, except faith.

We have our share of terrorists in this country, they are called abortion doctors.

Folks, sin is sin, and if you don't know Christ, in God's eyes, your sin is just as ugly as any terrorist on judgement day, unless Jesus is your defense lawyer.

I'm sure all the Jews reading this are excited by his plan.

The first two paragraphs said it all for Islam--the ROT (Religion of Terrorism)
