Sedona AZ (June 17, 2015) – The following is a letter to the SedonaEye.com editor:
Calling Islamic Militants “Radical” or “Extreme” is a misnomer. Those two terms carry the connotation of being or doing something against the rules that they are supposed to follow, unusual or unexpected.
The actions of those we call “Radical Islamists” are right “By the Book” (the Qur’an or Koran, however you want to spell it). Islamists will, and would willingly and with a sense of legal duty, torture, disfigure and or kill any Islamist or Muslim, who acted in a manner such as “show compassion towards anyone that is of a different belief.”
THAT would be Radical!!!
It is mainstream Islam to express a desire to slaughter others, especially Jews and Christians. There is nothing Radical or Extreme about their bitterness and hatred. We need to purge our terminology, and get our words chosen by their actual meaning, instead of the “Politically Correct Lexicon.”
We, Christians, are the real problem in dealing with the Militant Mindset. We (all of us collectively) back off and allow all this crap and corruption to go on, and most Christians believe the lie that has been perpetuated — claiming that Christians are supposed to just “turn the other cheek” mostly because of what “Jesus Said.”
However, Jesus’ physical life was lived under the Old Covenant and, even then, when Jesus ran face to face with corrupt religious zealots perverting the intent of the “Blood Sacrifice of Animals” [which under the old Covenant was needed], Jesus did not turn the other cheek – he went ballistic physically – his anger resonated with the forming of a “Whip, out of cords (rope) beat the unscrupulous moneychangers and told them, It is written, my house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” (Mat 21:13 KJB)
Jesus acted “Radically.” His actions were not what was expected. In other words, Jesus was and is not an anti-confrontational pacifist.
So why are we giving in and allowing the Government of Islam with its counterpart The Muslim Religion to slaughter the fantastic Christians in the birthplace of Christianity?
Syria and Iraq are the key to writing of the Epistles of the New Testament: Damascus is still in the same place it was when Saul of Tarsus was on his way there to preside over the killing of Christians. Saul was supernaturally intercepted, struck blind, then converted to Christianity, healed of his blindness by a Christian (Ananias) at the direction of Christ Jesus, who changed Saul’s name to Paul (the Apostle).
Paul is the man who wrote, fought for, and eventually was crucified for the perpetuation of Christianity. This is also the area of the ancient city of Nineveh, wherein Jonah preached repentance after his long three days and three nights submarine ride. Jonah’s tomb, which was honored by Christians, Jews and Muslims, was destroyed, wiped out by ISIS in 2014.

These Militants have no respect or regard for themselves or even for The Muslim Religion.
Christianity is a relationship, not a religion, and, in that relationship, we were given some serious responsibilities that have been cast aside in the majority of the denominational divisions of Christianity, whether they are denominational religions or not.
The authority over the earth was transferred by Jesus to us. Yes. You and I were put in charge of the earth. Our problems are not from somewhere else; they are from us. Satan has no power except that which he can get from man (male or female) through deception, which is his only weapon.
Jesus made it very plain when He said, in the Book of John 14:12; KJV, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth (Meaning? Trust in, Rely on, and Adhere to…) on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” (Emphasis added) He went, didn’t He? We have been deceived into thinking that God can do anything He wants to on His own, which is not true.
If WE do nothing, nothing will get done, because the responsibility to initiate action has got to come from us.
Do not think, for one minute, that I do not know that I have not been as stupid about this as anyone. My wake-up call may have come a bit before some others, but the effect on me is profound.

@ Dale Gohr,
Dale, I do hope you understand that you and I, and our readers here at the Eye, are not infidels (that is a western word). To Muslims you and I are “Kafirs” which is worse that an apostate (which is a believer in Islam but not a literal practitioner of Mohammed’s words). And, even apostates can be put to death for their failure to respect the literal word of Mohammed who wrote 86% of the Qur’an himself in just a few years. Also, remember this, all the Muslims in the U.S., including several of them right here in Sedona, believe that Allah’s law is Shari’a and democracy is a sin. Therefore, the United States of America is an abomination to Allah and his Prophet, Mohammed. Too bad dumb ass politically correct progressives don’t understand that Qur’anic Taqiyya requires all Muslims to lie to Kafirs for the purpose of duping Kafirs into Islamic conversion, and U.S. and western progressives make the easiest amongst Kafir targets for politically correct religious equality arguments. This is the tactic they have used to take over Europe. Worse yet, progressives don’t understand that Islam is first a political system which must command land which under their control is known as a caliphate, and second is a system of harsh law which dictates the evolution of culture, and thirdly is a religion with a very different view of God as we see God. Americans and westerners are so naive about how Islam works, they think that when they see a Jihadist on the tube holding up a single index finger and yelling “Allahu Akbar” that they are saying “God is great!” THAT IS NOT WHAT IT MEANS. Allah is not the same God you believe in. What “Allahu Akbar” means is “Allah (Mohammed’s concept of God) is the GREATEST” as compared and contrasted to the God that any other religion prays to. That is why they always hold up an index finger signaling Number One.
