Why are we being conditioned to be ashamed of Christianity and to feel criticizing islam is somehow racist?

Revelation 3
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea, write this:
“’The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the source of God’s creation, says this:
15 “I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot.
16 So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
17 For you say, ‘I am rich and affluent and have no need of anything,’ and yet do not realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
18 I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich, and white garments to put on so that your shameful nakedness may not be exposed, and buy ointment to smear on your eyes so that you may see.
19 Those whom I love, I reprove and chastise. Be earnest, therefore, and repent.
20 “’”Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, [then] I will enter his house and dine with him, and he with me.
21 I will give the victor the right to sit with me on my throne, as I myself first won the victory and sit with my Father on his throne.
22”’”Whoever has ears ought to hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”

* [3:14-22] The letter to Laodicea reprimands the community for being lukewarm (Rev 3:15-16), but no particular faults are singled out. Their material prosperity is contrasted with their spiritual poverty, the violet tunics that were the source of their wealth with the white robe of baptism, and their famous eye ointment with true spiritual perception (Rev 3:17-18). But Christ’s chastisement is inspired by love and a desire to be allowed to share the messianic banquet with his followers in the heavenly kingdom (Rev 3:19-21).

Gullible, delusional people were once on the margin in America. However it should never be forgotten that Obama was elected and reelected by a majority the American people.

Those coexist bumper stickers we see on cars these days show just how clueless some really are. The emblem for Islam is the first of the bunch followed by a cross, star of David, etc. If they only realized that Islam believes it is justified in eliminating every other religion even to the point of murder of those who refuse to convert, then it just might dawn on them that there can BE NO coexistence with Islam. That moon and star emblem would gobble up all the others given the chance.

Souls are won to Christianity through love and the drawing of the Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ. He said His sheep would hear His voice and follow Him and He gives to them eternal life and they shall never perish.

As long as Islam is included in the equation, co-existence is impossible.
