By Bob McDowell: As this is written there has been a number of violent 'demonstrations' in the Muslim world of North Africa which have, by design in my opinion, been orchestrated by the religious leaders of that 'faith/government' that appears to believe that their sworn duty is to 'convert, enslave, or kill' those in the rest of the world. These people seem to believe it is their prerogative to take to the streets in violence whenever and wherever it suits them and their agenda of World domination. They seem to take pride in having tortured and killed 'infidels' (non-believers) in the name of their god, Allah And we are told that their belief is that if they die in such actions, they will receive as a reward '72 virgins' in their after life.

Christianity is, and was considered to be during the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, a new sect of the Jewish faith. One hundred percent of the first Christians were Jews, and it was not until later that "Gentiles", or non-Jewish believers, were converted into the Christian faith. It has been the stated practice of Christian missionaries to tell the story and those hearing to make up their own minds. No one should feel to be forced into the Christian faith.

Because of this, to us, an evil belief on the part of the followers of Islam,  a war has been declared on the Western World, including the USA. This was brought home on September 11, 2001 by the hijacking of four airliners which were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.  Thanks to the brave and patriotic passengers of the fourth plane it was recaptured and crashed in Pennsylvania. The loss of life was greater than that at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 which began our entry into World War II.

It is my opinion that much of the blame for these recent attacks must lie with the present administration and President Obama who appears to feel that if he goes on with his campaign travels and appearances the problem will resolve itself. Obviously it will not. There seems to be a lack of understanding, or perhaps it is deliberate, that the evil people have no respect for those who show evidence of weakness or determination. We can have the largest and most powerful military defenses in the World, but a failure to, by action, indicate that we are quite willing to use it in our own defense and protection of our citizens and businesses around the World it is of no avail.

Since taking office in 2009, President Obama has signaled just such intentions. He has traveled the world bowing to government officials of the Muslim faith. His administration appointed officials and their staff members have continually acted to attack those of us in the Christian faith. They have required the removal of GOD, JESUS, and crosses from public, and sometimes private, property. Prayer to GOD and the mention of JESUS is forbidden in government schools. Cities and counties are zoning to not allow churches to build or expand and yet, as a further sign of weakness, even private schools, such as the University of Tulsa, have allowed mosques to be built on the school property.

Admittedly, some of this at the school level can be blamed on the infiltration of the church denominational staffs and heads by those of a different mind set. Several of the large denominations have allowed avowed and practicing homosexuals to be installed in the clergy, even as bishops.; They permit same-sex 'marriage', in violation of the specific orders contained in scripture as quoted by Jesus that "marriage is between one man and one woman." Actually, the word 'marriage' is a religious term, and others can attain the secular partnership protections.

We in the USA had better wake up and get our act in order, or we shall cease to be a free and prosperous world power. It seems that President Obama wants it that way!
