American Watchman—Islam: Should We Be Worried?
(Happy Thankgiving to everyone! This is an excerpt from an article with the same title at my website. I wrote this piece a few years ago and it applies today more than ever. The LORD promises that He came to heal the broken hearted and set the captive free, but we must walk with him in order to experience the freedom He offers.

It is not the religion that you should worry about but the radical religious terrorists that controls the religion by its terrorism, even upon its own people. Truly it has become a religion that controls by terror. As Americans we need to wake up and understand that the Islamic religion is what we are dealing with not some political entity that we can negotiate with. Whether you like it or not the truth is they hate us and everything we believe in. They believe we are weak and that their terrorism will make us run in fear. It seems up to this point that they are right.
Have we become a nation of apathy and compliancy? If your readiness is to conform to the voices in Washington, you need to step back and take a second look at what you see and not what you here only. There are many questions that we as a people need to ask ourselves:
-
Is this problem with Islam just political or is it much larger in scope?
-
Is this just another mad man (or men) wanting to be world dictators?
-
Or is their religion the force behind this world issue?
-
Will America become the next Islamic Nation?
-
What will you leave your children, if we do not act as a united people?
The answer to these questions must come from you not Washington. We as a people must come to grips with this problem. We can not leave this in the hands of a few public employees to answer the questions and problems that have come upon our nation. We the people of this great nation need and must get involved. You must become informed not just locally but internationally to what is happening. (To read more and find answers, click the link below.)

This Week's Announcements
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that Americans recognize as the first Thanksgiving celebration in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. We wish you a peaceful and meaningful Thankgiving celebration!
