Once again we are reminded of what I am now calling "muslim creep" in not only the nation but the world:
Earlier this month, an elementary school in the city of Treviso decided that Little Red Riding Hood would be this year's Christmas play instead of the traditional Christmas story.
The teachers said the famous tale was a fitting representation of the struggle between good and evil and would not offend Muslim children. The school's traditional nativity scene was scrapped for the same reason.
WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE??
Last month I posted about the dangers of "muslim creep".
If you remember, the rhetorical question of the day was ''When did this happen? When did 6 million Muslims get here and what are they planning to do?'' (as articulated by the French and the English)
Okay, I feel that this is an appropriate time to make sure that everyone understands that I don't have an axe to grind with people of the muslim persuasion...BUT...(and that is a very 'loud' "but")...I DO have a problem with anyone that is intent on messing with my traditions (which translates into the traditions of the country that I reside in) to the extent that THEIR traditions are now overriding MY traditions.
Know what I mean??
Barbara J. Stocker, the author that I referenced in last month's post had some very relevent...very IMPORTANT...issues that you need to start paying attention to!
Approximately 33% of the world is Christian and 20% is Muslim, based on figures for the year 2000. The number of Muslims is growing at an alarming rate. Muslims immigrated to peaceful, mostly Christian countries in Europe where they had large families that were reasonably safe from the ravages of their own strict religious teachings. At least these Muslims were safe until the radical element migrated from the oppressive Middle Eastern countries and began exerting its power over the masses and started menacing the indigenous populations that took Muslims in and welcomed them over the years. The mind-control of the clerics over the average Muslim is frightening and total.
Ms. Stocker continues, and I wholeheartedly agree: Belief in God or Jesus cannot be forced on someone; it must come from the heart. Forced conversion is not done out of love, but fear. Islam can control one's body, but it cannot control one's thoughts. Converts that are forced will not stay with Islam. They will leave it at the first opportunity.
The problem, though, still exists....trusting people - WORLDWIDE - are listening to the heretics and extremists of Islam...and, if it continues at this pace, I fear that it will have a devasting effect at some convergance point in the future....
Awareness...caution...sounding the alarm...that is what we all need to be paying attention to at this time...and if we do...hopefully we can thwart another "September 11th - ish" style of attack...not only here...but abroad as well..........
