This Is Islam: Of Many Connected Things

May I share with you my frustration about the inability of many in America, particularly our fellow church members and church leaders, to connect those dots, to comprehend the danger of Islamic supremacism, or, if they do, to admit it? A book by former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Andrew C. McCarthy, The Grand Jihad, takes its name from the stated purpose of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. The Brotherhood’s document retrieved from the hidden sub-basement of the basement of the house of an Islamist in Annandale, Virginia, declares: The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.

And so, some people are horrified by the murder of the dozens and dozens of innocent little children in Jos, Nigeria, and by the assassination of a great man like Shahbaz Bhatti. But they act as if these incidences are on a par, to borrow an expression from a recent statement by Charles Krauthammer about President Obama's reaction to the jihad murder of two American soldiers in Germany, with a bus accident. They treat these events as tragic, but random, unconnected with everything else that is going on in the world. They refuse to see reality, or as Melanie Phillips suggests in The World Turned Upside Down, they treat factual reality as an option that they can discard in favor of a more acceptable scenario. Incident after incident of Islamic attack proves that “by their fruit you shall know them.” Someday, will the factual evidence be piled so high that these deniers and appeasers cannot possibly refuse to face it anymore?
