Islamophobia: An Irrational Rage Among People Who Can Barely Spell Islamophobia
By Rev. Dan Vojir
Is Islamophobia in the air? Hell, no, it's in the streets! From preachers using their pulpits to denigrate anyone who is a Muslim, to their results (violence), being Muslim has become the "sinner du jour." We will continue to be bombarded with ranting, irrational sermons and illiterate picket signs. But when will it stop? After a large amount of people are killed.
::::::::
From Islamophobia Watch:
Muslims know what materials are being taught in their mosques and they know many of the materials instruct young Muslims to kill innocent people who do not adhere to Sharia law. If Muslims do not want a backlash, then I would recommend a 'house cleaning'. Stack every Saudi, al Qaeda, Pakistani, Taliban, Hamas, and Muslim Brotherhood piece of material from their mosque and have a bonfire. Tell the American, Jewish, and Muslim community this hatred will no longer be allowed in their mosques."
- Dave Gaubatz, author of Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America,
All of this might be dismissed as the ranting of a fringe lunatic, but for the fact that Gaubatz's work has been circulated and endorsed by prominent Republican officials.
From Christian Newswire, Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas, Elijah Ministries,:
Islam is God's reality check for America. Can we continue to survive rejecting God and our Christian heritage for a "bowl of humanistic pottage?" We are selling our birthright as Americans so we can be just as sophisticated and enlightened as the Socialistic European nations that are in the midst of being conquered by Islam. Is this the heritage we desire to leave our children and grandchildren? I pray not in Jesus' name!
The website for Elijah ministries is Christofascist beyond belief and complete with flames and military metaphors.
The American Family Association's Bryan Fischer:
The problem is that the more devout a Muslim is, the greater a threat he represents to our national security. And until we have a way of identifying which Muslims are the ones we have to worry about, we just cannot afford to take the chance.
Of
course there's our friend "Rev." James David Manning (video below) who
says that President Obama will, in exchange for Osama Bin Laden, turn
over Israel to Islam. You thought that Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons
were incendiary. Manning beats him by a mile. The jury is still out
when it comes to investigating Manning and his intentions: maybe he's
just a bumbling idiot who took advantage of Harlem's poor schools and
huge drop-out rate to hammer hatred and ignorance into its residents.
Here is a prime example of Islamophobia as a result of some preachers' ignorant rants:
Here is a prime example of Islamophobia as a result of some preachers' ignorant rants:
Alexios Marakis, a Greek Orthodox priest visiting the U.S., got lost in Tampa and tried to stop and ask directions from Marine reservist Jasen D. Bruce. But instead of offering help, â??Bruce struck the priest on the head with a tire iron.â? The reservist believed Marakis, who spoke limited English, was an Arab terrorist. Bruce chased the priest for three blocks, â??and even called 911 to say that an Arabic man tried to rob him.â?
Last
but certainly not least, Pat Robertson has chimed in with his opinion
of the Fort Hood shooting, Islam and Muslims: "Islam is not a religion"
but "a violent political system" created for world domination. The
problem with Robertson is that he also eyes world domination by making
Christianity the ONLY religion and the base for a one-world theocracy
ala R.J. Rushdooney and Reconstructionism.
The argument against hate crimes legislation is that these people are not responsible for any violence that occurs beyond their church.
Bullsh*t.
Someone is going to get killed.
