While shopping online for some items designed by Sherri Ohler to complete a kitchen decorating project, I came across her blog and this post about Syrian refugees.  As I read her intro I was a little fearful that being artistic and thereby naturally liberal, I'd read some mamby pamby nonsense. Instead, I was overjoyed to read her well reasoned and God inspired response.  Check it out!

A 2007 poll showed that 77% of Syrians supported financing Islamic terrorists including Hamas and the Iraqi fighters who evolved into ISIS. Less than 10% of Syrians opposed their terrorism.

Syrian Jihadists

4 year old Syrian jihadist:

I’ve been venting about my stance, which really wasn’t a stance, on Facebook for about a week now. Back and forth I prayed for God’s heart on the issue of the Syrian refugees. Anyone who doesn’t want to let them in is accused of reacting in fear. Anyone who wants to let them in is accused of being brainless.  It is a dilemma-and if you have been all in on one side or the other from the get go, we can probably conclude that you haven’t prayed for God’s heart on the issue, because it is not black and white as everyone seems to think it is.
The argument from our President and others is that by not letting them in we are forcing them to hate us and therefore giving them a great reason join ISIS. They have said that we would actually be working as recruiters for ISIS if we close our doors. Sorry, but this is a lame argument. By this logic, we should all, including the Obama family, be opening our homes to the homeless so that they don’t join gangs, but I know plenty of people with extra bedrooms, me included, that out of wisdom and love for our children, do not invite the homeless in and offer them refuge in the next bed. And not once does it occur to us that by shutting our doors we may be working for the gangs that would love to recruit them, and we also don’t accuse others of not being good Christians for not having a revolving door to the homeless. So is it fear or wisdom that keeps our doors locked at home?
God’s people are taught to honor strangers and invite them into their land throughout the old testament, we are told to take good care of all. But, God’s people are also taught to enforce His moral and civil laws and abolish any idol worship among the strangers, hmmm….That alone should tell us not to let thousands more allah worshipers to have free reign in our land, am I wrong? As Christians we are called to love people, but we are also called to abolish evil. We are called to share the gospel, but we are also called to guard against false worship. We are called to sacrifice ourselves for our brother, but we are also called to protect the innocent among us. Finally, we are called to bless the Jewish people, and we know that muslims are raised to do the opposite.
This is not black and white, it’s just not. At this point, God is miraculously reaching the muslims with dreams of Jesus! They are coming to Him by the thousands which is incredible! Praise Him!! That is what will change the climate of Syraia and the world. Amazing. We see God working among them, so what is our role?
Here is my personal stance after wrestling in prayer about this for days and listening to the opinions of people smarter than me on both sides, my conclusion is that as a Christian I need to love every single human that crosses my path in Jesus’ name. I need to open my heart and my mouth to share the gospel and feed, clothe and serve as many as I personally can no matter who they are.  However, the government is an entity who was elected to protect its people, it has a responsibility to protect the nation’s citizens from the threat of terror, which means they should close the doors.  Dallas Pastor, Robert Jeffries, takes this position and I agree with him. Watch him explain it here.
This is something that we should seek God’s heart about every single day. We need to know how to fight the antichrist agenda of islam while loving those lost in it. We need to know what to pray to match His seasons on the earth. We need to know His will. Period. And that will only happen if we are seeking Him on our knees in our prayer closet.

Muslim Immigration is What ISIS Wants

Commentary from me unnecessary, see the article:

Islamic terrorists are not responding to us. They are responding to the Koran and to over a thousand years of history. 

Osama bin Laden did not carry out 9/11 to inflict harm on Americans. That was a secondary goal. His primary goal was to rally Muslims to build a Caliphate by encouraging them to attack America. 

The ritualistic “Why do they hate us” browbeating favored by the chattering classes is nonsense. Al Qaeda hated us because we were not Muslims. But it was only using us as the hated “other” to consolidate a collective Muslim identity. We are to Islamists what the Jews were to Hitler; a useful scapegoat whose otherness can be used to manufacture a contrasting pure Aryan or Islamic identity. 

No dialogue is possible with an ideology whose virtue is premised on seeing you as utterly evil. 

You can negotiate with terrorists, though you shouldn’t. But Islamic terrorists rarely even bother to negotiate. Their core focus is on rallying local Muslims and the Ummah behind them. They don’t recognize national borders so any hope for a permanent peace behind recognized borders is wishful thinking. Islam is a transnational movement. Islamic terrorism is a race between terror groups around the world to carve out their own Islamic states and then use them as a springboard to a Caliphate. 

ISIS is the end stage of Islamic terrorism. Its leader is a Caliph with all Muslims obliged to submit to him. The Islamic State is not just in Syria and Iraq. It is everywhere that a Muslim outpost swears allegiance to the Caliph. On its own maps the Islamic State encompasses parts of Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Russia. The more local Islamic terror groups pledge allegiance to ISIS, the bigger it becomes.
ISIS doesn’t plan to defeat America through acts of terrorism. The plan for defeating America, like every other country, Muslim or non-Muslim, is to build a domestic Muslim terror movement that will be able to hold territory and swear allegiance to the Islamic State.

Well, deny it all you want, but it's pretty clear what you meant.

Terrorists Machete Attack Thwarted in New York

We don't often hear about thwarted terrorist attacks, but here's one they felt comfortable letting the media report on.  Just imagine how many bomb attacks they thwart that don't make the press.

The FBI describes Lutchman as “a self-professed Muslim convert with a criminal history dating back to approximately 2006 … as well as previous state mental hygiene arrests.” It states that Lutchman told an undercover informant that he had been in discussions with a “brother” who is a part of ISIS, and that he wanted to travel overseas to join the group.

This Moozlum convert was planning to hack kuffars (infidels) to death New Year's eve.

You Can Take the Terrorist Out of Islam, But ...

Interesting.  Some Moozlum converts to Christianity who call themselves Koosha Las Vegas haven't discarded their Moozlum ways of intimidation.  Like the author says, they'd make the world a better place if they harangued their former fellow Moozlums and converted them.  The Catholics they are harassing are already Christians, but I guess that point is lost on them.  It seems one raised in a radical faith and methods doesn't easily give up that mindset, even when they convert to another religion.

Many of the parishioners report being terrified and concerned about terrorism because of the men's aggressive demeanor and because they have shouted at Catholics to repent, calling the pope Satan, accusing Catholics of worshiping idols and a lot of other mean stuff that certain denominations of Protestants like to say about the Catholic Church.

I agree, this is a form of creeping Sharia.  The company was stupid for making an accommodation in the first place.  Now the Moozlums expect it and will likely sue, especially with the un-indicted co-conspirator of 9-11, CAIR, involved.

Islam is at war with the west.  They hate western culture.  They will use our liberal laws against us and force their intolerance upon us.
