I DECLARE A HOLY WAR
I Declare a Holy War

On the 12th of this month, I posted a column in which I enumerate all the reasons a Muslim cannot be a good American citizen. I used no rhetoric, just solid information. To be sure, there were a few negative comments such as I am trying to incite the Muslim population and that I write untruths about the religion of Islam. I reject both of those charges. A friend of mine from church read it and told me that to write such as that, I might as well declare a "holy war."
I have given our conversation some thought, and after prayerful consideration, think that this is a great idea. Consider this; the “moderate Muslims” (there really is no such thing) tell us that the word jihad means “holy war” but that it is a spiritual struggle, not armed conflict. (There are 10 million or so Muslims that haven’t gotten that word yet) I know that the religion of Islam teaches its adherents that it is quite okay to lie, cheat, and/or steal from an infidel, but for the sake of this argument, I am going to accept what the moderate Muslim says about jihad as the truth. Hence, THE PLAN.
There is a terror network in place in America today. In Detroit and Dearborn there are no less than four different groups operating, Al Gama’at al Islammiyya, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood are very active in this area. In Tampa, Florida, we have Islamic Jihad, In Boston, Massachusetts; there is the National Islamic Front. Of course, our national government’s Department of Homeland Security might say otherwise. Throughout much of the Easter United States, The Mid-Atlantic States, Almost all of the west coast, Texas, and Oklahoma, and in the Corn Belt, there are groups and mosques working diligently to destroy our Judeo-Christian way of life. And yet, they call it a “spiritual battle.”
I propose to make it a true “spiritual battle.” I am looking for 1,000 or more prayer warriors; they must be willing to be on the frontlines of the battle. They must have a complete trust in God and that no matter what; He will see us through the battle. The battle ground is going to be public access as close to a mosque or Islamic school in your community. These prayer warriors are going to have to be a physical presence as well as a praying presence. I recommend that two or more people at a time take up the vigil. Scripture tells us that where one can put a thousand to flight, two can put ten thousand to flight. Jesus said, “Wherever two or more are gathered in my name, I will be there also.”
Below are the rules for the spiritual engagement:
* Make no signs, no banners to display. Christian T-shirts, or a shirt identifying your church are okay
* Do not engage anyone in conversation from the mosque or school where you are praying. Friday is their Sabbath; this would be a good time to be out front.
o If they ask for information in receiving Christ, get their name and phone number do not give them yours.
* Make sure you are on public ground that anyone can use. Do not enter any property belonging to the mosque or school and do not block any driveways, walkways, or other entrances to their buildings
* If approached, be honest. Tell the person that approaches you that you are praying form the people inside to receive Christ as their Savior
o Do not get into a theological debate; you are there to pray and only pray
* If law enforcement is called, make sure to do what you are told. If you are told you cannot be on public land in front of the facility where you are praying, make sure to get the officer’s name and badge number, politely ask him or her to request that a shift supervisor be called to the scene. Explain it to the shift supervisor, and if you are still told you must leave, then do so. Call the ACLJ office, give them the circumstances of the event, and see if they might want to proceed with legal action if it is warranted.
* Be diligent in your prayers, pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself to those inside the school or mosque that those trapped in this cult of death might be redeemed by the God of light.
* This cannot be a one time event; it must be ongoing; as long as there is a mosque or Islamic school open in this country, we will have to be out in front every day praying that those inside would come to understand the love, grace, mercy, and hope that is in the Messiah and accept Him as their Lord.
* Always remember, that the battle belongs to the Lord.
I recommend that anyone who wants to set this up should first pray and seek God’s face to make sure this is what He would have you do. Finally, go to your pastor or minister and get his blessing. If he is concerned for your safety just remind him of God’s promises to watch over us. I would love to see true born again believers, true prayer warriors all across this land to pray every last Muslim into the kingdom of God. However, those that refuse to repent, refuse to turn from their wicked ways and seek the one true God’s mercy and grace, I would love to see prayed right back to their ancestral homelands where they cannot harm us.
Of course, there will be liberals both in and out of the body of Christ (I find it hard to believe a liberal can be a true Christian) who will have something negative to say about such action. That’s quite all right as well. We can pray for their salvation as well. We can expect to see CAIR, the Council of American-Islamic Relations to become angry and make demands that it be stopped, but why should they? After all, it is a spiritual war not an actual armed conflict. Or is it?
