Comment on More on Islamophobia and Islam by Nick

Rev. Flip Benham at Operation Save America writes concerning me and the previous post:

I get so tired of our Christian brothers and sisters always apologizing for us (we fools for Christ) and then agreeing with almost everything we actually do at the gates of hell. They want to make everyone aware that they are not like us bigoted, judgmental, lunatics on the radical fringe of Christianity that are just like those who crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center screaming, “Allahu Akbar!”

The author of this piece, after the perfunctory distancing himself from us, writes the very same things we were saying outside of the mosque in Bridgeport. He never took the time to find out what really happened at the mosque. But that was because it did not matter to him. He was looking to use us as an instrument to write this article. He has not yet learned how to despise the shame of the cross of Christ.

My apology for not investigating OSA’s actions in Bridgeport came before I read these comments of Rev. Benham. So, I wish to be clear that my statements in this second post were not motivated out of a desire to respond to these comments.

I was not using OSA as an instrument to write my post. My motivation was to discuss the insidious nature of the invented political construct known as “Islamophobia.” If one reads my post one will see that OSA is barely mentioned. Now, my comments toward the OSA people were admittedly less than gracious and again, I ask their forgiveness. Certainly the people who commented on my blog were very kind to me in return.

I would like to think, however, that it is possible as a Christian person to disagree with OSA’s tactics without being personally and publicly attacked to the effect that I have not learned how to “despise the shame of the cross of Christ.”

Americans need to stop and think if they want their grandchildren living in an Islam nation. Islam is the fastest growing religion in America. Go or study what its like to live in Saudi Arabia. Study what “sharia” law is and how women are looked upon by Islam. Freedom isn’t free, we have to fight to keep it. Jesus said to “preach the gospel to every creature”. Hello Christians! that means Muslims too. Jesus loves Muslims and wants them saved out of their false religion to the truth. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me.” Go to JesusLovesMuslims.org, TruthForMuslinms.com, and AnsweringIslam.com to educate yourself to further His Kingdom.

The media used the Mosque outreach to try to show hated for Moslems when in fact the group from Operation Save America Connecticut were actually loving the Moslem’s by witnessing to them that their only hope is in Jesus Christ. If we love enough we will care about where people spend eternity and we will go where they are to tell them the truth even when we will be vilified by the press, the lost and sadly those who share our beliefs.

When protesting at homo parades, we Christians are accused of being full of hate. I explain to the homos that the ones who are really full of hate are themselves because they refuse to warn their homosexual friends, relatives, and neighbors that they are in a spiritually and physically destructive lifestyle that threatens a horrible, early death and, worst of all, eternity in hell. The same goes for going to the mosque. We were warning the Muslims who their leader really is and that they’re also headed to hell.

Nick,
I concur with everything in your article, with the exception of the fabricated lies– alleged by the media– about OSA. I have participated with Operation Save America on several occasions and found their actions to be civil, respectful, and very effective. Hence… the reason for the fabrication and lies.

If they can’t kill the message — kill the messenger. Please…next time consider checking with the group that’s being painted with an ugly brush. So often these days, the good guys are being falsely portrayed by artist who are bias and have an agenda. OSA was simply sharing the same message you conveyed in your article. These are truly Christian people –America’s Missionaries.

Hello Nick:
Thoughful article but, like Richard I have one concern. You obviously are a Christian, a thinking person, and well informed. I agree with your whole artice except the comment that you ” do not agree with such tactics, as they do not reflect the spirit of Christ.” I am concerned that you took the word of the “liberal media” on what happened at the mosque. What really happened is so different from the lies in the paper. What really happened is that Christians loved their neighbors, the people caught in that heretical and violent “belief system.” enough to evangelize at the very place where they knew they would find many muslims. They handed out tracts, the Gospel of John and spoke to those who would speak to them. They cared enough to warn them that that belief will lead them straight to hell. They loved their neighbors – that is the Spirti of Jesus!!

What an excellent article, with one comment that concerns me. The group of Christians who went to the mosque in Bridgeport have reflected the Spirit of Christ in many ways. The original CT Post article was the main catalyst in spreading lies about the actions of Operation Save America CT. No one screamed “murderers” at children coming in and out the mosque. That was a pure fabrication.

I continue to get positive reports (of course never mentioned in the left wing media coverage) of local street evangelists preaching in front of the mosque and having good discussions with Muslims at this location. So much of the hysteria was created by the media.
