Islamic State Tweets Pam Geller’s Home Address Telling Supporters to Kill Her

 
Islamic State is showing that it has power in our country and will gain further followers with this outburst.
Check it out:
The personal address of an anti-Muslim activist was tweeted Friday from a Twitter account bearing the name of a man believed to be a British Islamic State jihadist kingpin. The tweet about Pamela Geller, who heads a group called the American Freedom Defense Initiative, came just hours after a third man connected to a plot to kill her and murder Boston police was arrested.
“#GoForth,” the Tweet urged via a hashtag after revealing Geller’s New York City address, apartment number and all. The Twitter account that sent out the address has since been suspended.

In May, two gunmen were killed and one security guard was injured in Texas during a controversial “draw Muhammad” contest that was organized by Geller. ISIS soon after claimed responsibility for the attack at the contest, which welcomed renditions of the Prophet Muhammad, a provocative act for many Muslims who believe that the prophet should not be depicted or mocked in any way.

Islamic Outreach Group uses Mobile Quran to Win Hearts and Minds of Charlotte

oped: Yes indeed it has begun: http://sharlaslabyrinth.blogspot.com/2015/06/what-if-jihadi-witnesses-tried-to.html

When we think about Islam, one of the first things that we think of is terrorism.  There may be other things that come to mind, but usually that is the first.  It is hard not to think in such a way with ISIS and Hamas dominating the Mainstream news.  Well, there is a group of Muslims in Charlotte NC that is trying to change that perception.
Fox 46 reports

The Quran Mobile is rolling around Charlotte and Muslims hope it educates people about their faith.
Concerned about the public’s perception of Islam after radical Islamic terrorists like ISIS have dominated the news cycle, Charlotte Muslims with the American Islamic Outreach Center wanted to take action.

The group, American Islamic Outreach Center is a part of the foundation by the same name.  Their main headquarters are in Franklin NC.  This group has been quietly active in the Charlotte area.  Working with Habitat for Humanity, distributing food to the needy, partnering with a Hindu group, and many other efforts.  Now the Outreach Center wishes to reach more people through the Mobile Quran.

The goal is to drive the Quran Mobile around Charlotte during busy hours. They hope to spread the message that Islam is a peaceful religion and the radical terrorists they see on television don’t represent the 15,000 Muslims that live in Charlotte.

The problem is that though this might be the message they want to convey, it may not be a true message.  It seems that we have a problem that needs to be addressed.  First, to make such a statement, you would have had to poll all the 15,000 Muslims in Charlotte.  I am sure they did not.  Second, how does the reporter know that this is not an accurate representation?  Well, the Outreach Center told them it was not.

“You got everything from book mobiles to bat mobiles so why not a Quran Mobile,” Zahir Shaikh, director of the Quran Mobile said.
“Islam is portrayed in a very negative light because of the actions of some crazy people out there. But 99 percent of Muslims are good hearted just like any other denomination,” Shaikh said.

When I read that statement, it seemed a little exaggerated.  So, I did a little research.  And for the sake of being fair, I went to a source that no one could say was leaning to my side.

CNN reported

There are between 1.2 and 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. Half are women. While a substantial percentage of Islamic women support jihad, less than one in fifty Islamic terrorist acts is actually perpetrated by a female. That leaves us with a maximum pool of jihadists that is just over 50% of the total population.
The overwhelming preponderance of terrorist acts are conducted by young Muslim men 15 to 30 years old. This age bracket covers about half of the male population of the Islamic world, leaving us with a potential jihad pool of 25% of all Muslims – approximately 300 million people.

Wow! 25%!  Now, hold on.  This is a percentage of potential jihadists.  This is not a percentage of the people who are and/or agree with the Islamist’s cause.  But when we look at the voter record for the Islamic world the numbers become frightening.

Therefore, based upon the most objective data available to us, at least 60% of all Muslims have the potential to be jihadists by way of their fundamentalist voting patterns. That is to say, Islam has grown substantially closer to its salafi, and thus terrorist, roots over the past decade. It is safe to say that 750 million Muslims are fundamentalists trying to follow Allah’s orders and Muhammad’s example. And as fundamentalists, they are potential jihadists.

The problem with the Outreach Center, it is like a sedative.  These people are not terrorists.  They may not agree with terrorism, but they serve to lull us to sleep.  They do not do the cutting, they just serve us up to those who do, by lying about their religion.  Make no mistake, just because they do not agree with ISIS’s violent means do not think that they do not have the same goal.
 

Pastor Tony Campolo Accepts Sodomy Because He Rejects Scripture

 
[oped addendum: Just wondering when Tony will come out of the proverbial closet and follow Bruce Jenner]

by Michael Ware 
When we come to any issue, as Christians, there should always be this question that pops into our head.  What does the Bible say?  So whether we are asking a question concerning business, family relations or sexual morality, we should always seek the wisdom of the word of God.  Now, this is the attitude of many Christians, but for those who are only Christian in name, this is not an option.  So, when someone like Tony Campolo declares his acceptance of sodomite couples into his fellowship, we should not be surprised.  He can make this decision because he has rejected Scripture.
Christian News reports 

False teacher Tony Campolo announced on Monday that he has decided to endorse and speak out for the inclusion of open homosexuals in the Body of Christ.
“It has taken countless hours of prayer, study, conversation and emotional turmoil to bring me to the place where I am finally ready to call for the full acceptance of Christian gay couples into the Church,” he wrote in a statement posted to his website.

So, we have to ask.  What exactly did Tony study to come to this conclusion?  Many would think from his statement that it would have been the Bible.  This is a Sunday school assumption but is it accurate?  It would seem that if he comes to the conclusion that there are openly gay Christian couples, then it seems very hard for me to believe that the Bible was included in his study.  Now, let’s be clear.  I do not hate sodomites any more than I hate adulterers or thieves.  I also want to make clear that Christians can struggle with the sin of Sodomy and do, but they do not give in to it as a lifestyle.

Christian News continues

“Because of my open concern for social justice, in recent years I have been asked the same question over and over again: Are you ready to fully accept into the Church those gay Christian couples who have made a lifetime commitment to one another?” Campolo outlined. “One reason I am changing my position on this issue is that, through Peggy, I have come to know so many gay Christian couples whose relationships work in much the same way as our own.”

And here is the problem, Tony has given in to the temptation we all must resist.  We cannot look to see what is or is not successful to determine what is right.  There is nothing wrong with knowing and being friendly with sodomites.  Christ ate with prostitutes and tax collectors.  But, we are not to allow our emotional attachments to them to cloud what the Bible says about what they are doing.  They cannot be open practicing sodomites and continue to proclaim deliverance from sin.
Tony Campolo was a false teacher before this announcement, and he has never used Scripture as his all-sufficient authority.  But, when such things are said by such people, we must recognize it and call it by name.  And we should show that such teaching is false and why.  So we will look to see what the Bible says about sodomy.
We first must see that the New Testament teaches that Homosexuality is a sin.

I Timothy 1:9-11 reads

realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

And I Corinthians 6:8-10 echos this restriction from the Kingdom of God

On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren.
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

Besides this, the Law is abundantly clear that sodomy is a sin.  But to the issue that Tony brings out, can you continue in a lifestyle of sin and be a Christian?  I Corinthians 6 make it clear that you cannot.  It not only lists the sin of sodomy in its two forms, but also makes clear that those who practice this sin as a habit of life are not in the Kingdom of God.
And though Campolo thinks that by following his wife he is being loving to their sodomite friends.  But, in reality, he is leading them to perdition.  He and all who follow Campolo are driving these people into eternal damnation by convincing them that they are redeemed when they are not.  God have mercy on his followers and deliver them from this devil.
