Here's where I disagree though:
Most Americans, including myself, do no care a whit if Islamic people have their churches and attend them.
On the contrary, these mosques, not only in America but world-wide, have become bastions of terror recruitment and often repositories for weaponry used against their host countries.
If we are to allow these mosques to exist it is of the utmost importance that they are closely monitored by law enforcement and all their leaders vetted so as to insure safety for all American communities.
My personal wish is that all mosques be closed and banned from ever reopening, but I'm not in charge.
Jesus himself didn't lord it over others. And his teachings were universal. What is the proof? Before the apostles received the Holy Spirit and commission to go out into the whole world and preach the gospel, St. John the Baptist informed Herod, a pagan, that he should not marry his brother's wife, rebuked him for other evils, and lost his head for it. And I do not believe St. John the Baptist did it out of arrogance, but humility and at the urging of the spirit of God within him.
The Congress authorized the war and Jefferson sent the US Navy and US Marines who defeated them. The famous US Marine Hymm tells us where...at the "shores of Tripoli
Note well. He went through Congress to get permission. He didn't do it with a quill pen and a messenger.
I was familiar about the Barbary pirates but missed the association with the Marine Hymn.
And John Quincy Adams' son was right. I picked it up myself, but never could have stated it as eloquently and clearly as he did.
Muslims and people like Obama use the religion to lord it over others. They can't bear to admit Islam is an inferior religion to Christianity; they have been blinded in their heresy. Muslims do not like being humble or submitting, but they love making others submit. I do not believe that I am better than any Muslim or anyone; I do believe that Christian teachings are the highest teachings and Mohammed is a false prophet, an evildoer like Herod.
I see no question about it...
Jeff, I have to agree with you and others who’ve diagnosed our troubles as being spiritual.
It does seem our current demise correlates to the fact that everything seems to have morally unraveled ever quicker in the last several decades.
Churches - godly faith
Families - parents & kids
Business conduct
Our coarse culture
Government institutional corruption
Even our nation’s military is demoralized because our country has lost its purpose and moral authority on the world’s stage.
As we shunned god and faith, is it any wonder why we’ve come to this sorry state?
How do we spread Real deal godly Revival?
Praise, Raise hope, and raise expectations!
For the thousand that strike at the branches of evil, only one strikes at it’s root...
RE: “We stand up and speak out. We educate others about the truth.
And most importantly, we stay true to God in Heaven whose son is Jesus Christ, and who inspired our founders and created this land.
Pray to him, have faith in Him, and never doubt that, as Patrick Henry said, “There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nationsâ€
If we keep faith with Him...he will keep faith with us...even though there will be extreme difficulties.
II Chron 7:14”
These “mosques” SHOULD be monitored closely as you say and the people attending them should be also monitored closely...
I don’t care if they call it “profiling”...
It IS...
And it is necessary for the protection of our country...
“Muslims and people like Obama use the religion to lord it over others. They can’t bear to admit Islam is an inferior religion to Christianity; they have been blinded in their heresy.”
Islam is not a religion. That is the mistake most people make. It is an all-encompassing political system, masquerading as a religion, that seeks to control EVERY aspect of life.
It needs to be eradicated.

Keep telling it like it is, Jeff!
Good post/essay. Thanks for sharing it.

Obama is a highly contemplative Muslim.
He spends hours reclined on the couch in the oval orifice with his shirt off contemplating his navel. He wonders how lint could possibly get in there and what that depression could mean.
Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap . . . (The most beautiful sound in the whole world to
me. Can anyone guess what those taps are?)
Well said, and needs as wide an audience as possible. Please add me to your ping list. Thanks.
They pray 5 times a day, not all, I'm not trying to be contentious, but it has every appearance of being a religion. The political system is justified by it and flows out of it.
Just because it is false doesn't mean it isn't a religion. I guess I don't understand how you can say it masquerades as a religion where the adherents believe the teachings just as deeply as I believe my religion.
Well said and I'm guilty of falling for that crap too.
Seems like all we get is jackass phonies
If nothing else perhaps Trump has encouraged us all to be little more raw and start tearing through these silly displays.
I think he found his inspiration in 2 Corinthians. At least he says the one thing we all know to be true.
We are led by very stupid stupid people - Why because they are phonies. They've always been good a pretending and spinning.
Doing things actually implementing conservatism - not so much
How about we bring back the Hammer - Tom Delay the bug killer, sounds about right for the infestation of cockroaches we have in office
We need some wise adult leadership - God help us
Wow, nice job.
That's a start and I believe would weed out 99.9% of the bad ones.
