Heroin Use Exploding in America

The Bible tells us that in the very last days people will be whacked out and stoned on drugs.

For centuries, humans all over the world have used hallucinogenic drugs in an attempt to connect with the spirit realm.  Of course the only thing this does is to connect you to the demonic realm....but only Bible readers know that, and today we have VERY FEW Americans who read their Bibles.

So it should come as no surprise that even with all the education given in America that DRUGS ARE BAD!.....Americans just can't stay away from wanting to alter their minds.

Heroin Use Spikes Fivefold in U.S.

The number of people trying and abusing heroin has gone up by nearly five times in the U.S. since 2002, and white men are especially affected, researchers reported Wednesday.

It might be because it's more socially acceptable, they said.

It's no secret that America is going through a crisis of both heroin and opioid use.

What's different about this study is it finds heroin use was not always linked to previous use of opioids — unlike previous studies that suggest that people get hooked on opioids prescribed for pain and then move to heroin because it's cheaper.

"Heroin use appears to have become more socially acceptable among suburban and rural white individuals, perhaps because its effects seem so similar to those of widely available prescription opioids," Dr. Silvia Martins of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University and colleagues wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association's JAMA Psychiatry.

Deaths from opioid drug overdoses have hit an all-time record in the U.S., rising 14 percent in just one year, and heroin deaths quadrupled between 2002 and 2013.

States hit hardest by the last recession have the most cases of abuse.

This suggests that more than 3.8 million U.S. adults have tried heroin at least once, and 1.6 million have abused it, they said.

"Increased availability and lower heroin prices in recent years may have contributed to increased heroin use," they wrote.

Dr. Bertha Madras, a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, said overuse of opioids is almost certainly to blame, also.

3.8 million Americans have TRIED HEROIN?!?!

Let's take a crazy bet and say that very few of those 3.8 million folks have a healthy FEAR of the Lord, few read their Bible, few are involved in their local church and MANY are depressed.

Why?

Because they have a huge hole in their hearts that can ONLY be filled by their Creator....and they have rejected Him so run around looking for anything that can fill that empty spot.

Revelation 9:21
21 Neither did they penance from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.

In the Greek, sorceries is PHARMAKEIA from which we get our word PHARMACY....which means drug use....which means people in the VERY last days will not repent of their murderous, drug induced sexual perversion.

Sounds about right where we are headed.

pharmakeia: the use of medicine, drugs or spells

Big Quake Could Actually Plunge Portions of California Into the Sea

Do you think this event would have the potential to mess up America?

Scientists Warn That The Coming California Megaquake Could Plunge Large Portions Of The State Into The Ocean

Over the years, many people have been shown that someday a giant earthquake will cause significant portions of California to fall into the ocean. But up until now, most scientists have disputed the idea that this could ever actually happen. Well, now all of that has changed. According to a brand new study, a megaquake along the west coast “could plunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly”. In fact, the researchers that conducted this study say that it is almost certain to happen eventually. Of course they probably don’t believe that such an event is imminent or else they would be moving out of the state like so many other people are.

When I came across news stories about this brand new study I was absolutely astounded. Here is a short excerpt from one of them…


The Big One may be overdue to hit California, but scientists near LA have found a new risk for the area during a major earthquake.

They claim that if a major tremor hits the area, it could plunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly.

The discovery was made after studying the Newport-Inglewood fault, which has long been believed to be one of Southern California’s danger zones.

Could you imagine what such a catastrophe would do to our nation and how many lives would be lost if that were to happen today?

According to the study, a California megaquake would potentially cause some sections of southern California to suddenly drop by as much as 3 feet, and that could result in vast stretches of land “ending up at or below sea level”…

In total three quakes over the last 2,000 years on nearby faults made ground just outside Los Angeles city limits sink as much as 3ft.

Today that could result in the area ending up at or below sea level, said Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, who worked with the paper´s lead author, graduate student Robert Leeper.

An event like this would forever change America.  If it did happen and thousands of people lost their lives and billions of dollars of infrastucture and houses forever disappeared into the sea....maybe California couldn't recover financially?  Maybe the disaster would be so costly that America wouldn't be able to recover financially.

Do I personally worry about headlines like this?  Not at all.

But I am concerned about the number of Americans who seem to have placed all their hope and faith in America...and somehow believe that America will always be here and will always be wealthy, powerful and the envy of the world.

The Bible would seem to disagree.  Many Americans are going to be shocked when she tumbles....and as this headline confirms...it could happen REALLY FAST.

Revelation 18:17
In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’ “Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off.

Vimeo Silences Christian Videos From Their Site

As we previously said...if you can't understand that Bible believers in America are under attack, you simply are sound asleep and not paying attention.

Today we find that Vimeo removed 850 videos that THEY didn't like because they were about homosexuals who changed their lives and they subscribed to a Biblical world view.

850 videos removed overnight

If Jesus has changed your life and set you free from homosexual practice, your testimony is not welcome on Vimeo – not now, not ever. And if you see homosexuality as another aspect of sexual brokenness, something for which Jesus died and something from which you can be healed, your opinion is not welcome on Vimeo. Case closed, door shut, end of subject.

Pure Passion Ministries is a much respected friend of AFA and many other national ministries. Their videos have helped countless sexual abuse victims, people who have been sex trafficked, those who are addicted or in any other condition that causes them distress.

On March 24, Vimeo removed all 850 Pure Passion videos and closed its account.

Why? As Vimeo explained to Dr. David Kyle Foster, director of Pure Passion Ministries and himself a former homosexual, "To put it plainly, we don't believe that homosexuality requires a cure and we don't allow videos on our platform that espouse this point of view…We also consider this basic viewpoint to display a demeaning attitude toward a specific group, which is something that we do not allow."

Did you catch that? Vimeo is guilty of the very same intolerance they claim Pure Passion has. Read the entire exchange between Pure Life and Vimeo here.

But Foster's ministry is not the first to be unfairly censured by Vimeo. In 2015, Vimeo unpublished an announcement for an upcoming "Hope Conference." The conference was sponsored by Restored Hope Network, which is an association of ministries that help people deal with unwanted same-sex attractions. Early last year, Vimeo shut down Restored Hope's entire account. Every single video. Gone.

Vimeo also shut down the account of NARTH, the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, which is an association of psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, and therapists who have had the temerity to stand up to the PC establishment and who refuse to celebrate LGBT activism.

You can see why Foster described Vimeo's move as "pure religious bigotry and censorship."

Vimeo takes a hostile view towards groups and videos that espouse the Bible when it comes to human sin and brokenness.

Vimeo takes a callous approach towards groups and videos that preach the gospel of transformation when it comes to homosexuality.

TAKE ACTION

This is an outrage, and it needs to be addressed. Here's what you can do today:

Sign our petition to Vimeo asking them to restore immediately the account of Dr. David Kyle Foster and Pure Passion, stating politely that this is tantamount to religious censorship and bigotry.

Share this information with family, friends and on social media.

Pray that the message of freedom and liberty in Jesus – from ALL brokenness and sin – would be proclaimed even more loudly and powerfully in the days ahead. Pray that Vimeo's efforts to silence a powerful ministry (along with other excellent ministries and organizations) result in the amplifying of this ministry's message.

Isn't this how things started out in Nazi Germany?  With the Nazis ordering the burning of books that THEY disagreed with?

The grand irony (again) is that while the liberals are smitten with the idea of pointing out how similar Trump and his followers are to what was happening in pre-Nazi Germany....THEY are the ones who are engaging in name calling, bullying and censorship.

Male Transgenders Begin to Dominate Female Athletics

I'm sorry, but liberals are so confused.  What did they THINK would happen when they announce that any man can decide to identify as a woman and then INSIST that he be allowed to participate in women's competition?

The men are going to DOMINATE the women!  DUH!!!!!

That's why we have men's and women's sports teams!  So that the women can actually compete against women and not get the crap kicked out of them by a bunch of men who God actually made to be bigger, faster and stronger.

The performance was stunning, as New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard absolutely smoked the competition, beating her nearest competitor, a Samoan woman, by nearly 20 kilograms. 

The only problem is that Laurel is a biological male, born Gavin, which is why a number of the competitors felt the competition was unfair.

But of course it's unfair. Hubbard is a male, not a female, and even after months of hormone treatments, he still has unfair advantages over the other women, who sacrificed for years to make it to this elite level, only to lose to a man. How is that right?

As one woman tweeted in response to this news, "Imagine training for this your whole life, as a woman, only to have a known leader in men's weightlifting take your title."

Gavin Hubbard had "previously competed at a national level in men's weightlifting," making it all the more absurd that he would now be competing against women, which is why his presence was "met with criticism from Australian competitors who believe a transgender athlete in the female weightlifting category was not an equal playing field."

Not an equal playing field indeed - no more than it was an equal playing field when a female high school wrestler taking testosterone defeated all the other girls she wrestled against (she's on hormone treatments as part of her "transitioning" to male) and no more than it was an equal playing field when a male-to-female mixed martial artist manhandled (literally) her female opponents.

After the wrestling competition, Patti Overstreet, the mother of another wrestler, said, "She's standing there holding her head high like she's the winner. She's not winning. She's cheating. It's not equal. It's never going to be equal."

When it comes to the weightlifting competition, one of the other lifters said, "We all deserve to be on an even playing field. It's difficult when you believe that you're not. If it's not even, why are we doing the sport?"

Exactly? Why compete at all? Why have men compete against men and women compete against women? Why have weight classes? 

Why not just throw everyone into the same competition and have the world's strongest (or fastest) human - of either sex, in any weight class, at any distance, in any event? 

Why not blur all distinctions, if a man can now compete side by side with women?

Ridiculously, Phil Gifford, described as a prominent sports writer, "said Hubbard had every right to compete with the women after passing 'straightforward' hormone regulations."

Specifically, he argued, "It's testosterone levels which is a much more scientific way of measuring male gender, female gender than anything else that is currently known. And Lauren has passed all of those tests over the last 12 months."

So, then, a man who had lowered testosterone levels but all the other physical advantages a male would have over other women should be allowed to compete with the ladies? 

Can you join me in saying "Enough!"

Let's continue to look for ways to help those struggling with gender identity confusion while protecting the rights of the rest of society. If enough of us raise our voices, positive change will come.

It's all so stupid, I don't know what else to say.

"In the beginning God created them male and female.  Male and female He created them."

Satan heard that and asked all the stupid humans, "Did God really say that?  Or aren't humans all just "humans" and equally capable of all things regardless of the sex organ they were born with?"

And all the liberal atheists said, "Yea!  That Satan sure makes a lot of sense!  There isn't really a "god" that actually made males and females!  We all evolved from the same monkey and the distinction between male and female needs to be removed forever!"

The extreme irony of it all is that it's the liberals who are the biggest feminists....and those same liberals are now going to make sure that no woman can ever win another championship in almost any and every sporting competition.

Liberals Pounce on Pence for Respecting His Marriage

VP Pence said he makes it a practice to not have dinner alone with any woman besides his wife.  He also said he won't attend a function with alcohol without his wife being present.

Good for him!

With Satan prowling around like a hungry lion looking for whom he may devour....it appears that Mike Pence is taking that biblical warning seriously and choosing to avoid any situations where temptation, innuendos or even the appearance of impropriety could get a foot hold.

And of course the liberal atheists are so clueless....they are jumping all over Pence at his willingness to protect his marriage.

Washington Post writer Ashley Parker caused quite a stir on Wednesday when she publicized her feature on second lady Karen Pence with the following tweet.

"Mike Pence never dines alone w a woman not his wife, nor does he attends events w alcohol, w/o her by his side."

Clearly, she was trying to suggest Pence was out of the mainstream and represented a backwards way of thinking – and liberals took the bait.

A Mother Jones writer seemed to think that Pence’s conservative behavior suggests he has never hired women to senior positions. 

"1/ If Pence won't eat dinner alone with any woman but his wife, that means he won't hire women in key spots."

Her rant about his “weird hangups” went on for several tweets more, but I’ll spare you.

Other progressive critics suggested his behavior was no better than Sharia Law.

"So the GOP is up in arms over Sharia law, yet Mike Pence won't have a business meal with a woman that's not his wife. Sure, that checks out."

Pence is not the only conservative Christian to be mocked for simply practicing chastity. Back in 2008, actor Kirk Cameron explained on the "Today" show that his faith would not allow him to kiss another woman onscreen. So, during intimate scenes for his film "Fireproof," his real life spouse subbed in as a body double for the leading actress.

As always, The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway has published a piece with some much needed common sense. With all of the tragic consequences that accompany divorce, Hemingway says Pence should be commended for his actions.

"Not only is he not a monster, he sounds like he’s a smart man who understands that infidelity is something that threatens every marriage and must be guarded against," she writes.

If you can't see that persecution of Bible believers is already in America you simply aren't paying attention.

The liberal atheists won't stop their bullying until everyone thinks and acts JUST LIKE THEY DO.

California is Top State for UFO's

The headlines concerning UFO's supposedly visiting earth continue to come on an almost daily basis.

Today we see the news that California is the top state when it comes to spotting UFO's.  This actually isn't probably too much of a surprise in that CA has the most people and is one of the largest states....but it doesn't change the fact that the term UFO is in fact in the news again.

Think you may have caught a glimpse of a metal, sphere-shaped object looming in the night sky above? Well, you're not alone. 

According to a new UFO reference book, self-published by two UFO experts, California is the top state with the most UFO sightings in the country. California is followed by Florida, Texas, Washington and Pennsylvania respectively. New York came in at 6th followed by Arizona, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio.

The "UFO Sightings Desk Reference: United States of America 2001-2015" is a deep data dive into UFO sightings reported to The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) from 2001 to 2015, explains author and UFO columnist Cheryl Costa.

She used both databases every week looking for New York sightings for her column in the weekly Syracuse New Times, she said, and started publishing tables for number of sightings in each New York county, shape of UFOs, when they were reported, etc.

Response to those stats was strong, she said. So when her spouse and co-author Linda Miller Costa got the idea of working through the reports to see just how far down they could drill for every state in the country, they started digging. The end result a year later is the 374-page desk reference.

She said there have been more than 120,000 UFO sightings reported from 2001-2015 in the U.S. She didn't want to give away all the stats (you know, they do want you to get the book) but she said California holds down the top position with almost 16,000 sightings, and Los Angeles County outranks 40 individual states with 3,200 sightings.

Her interest in UFOs stem from her personal UFO sightings, Cheryl Costa said, but her drive to write about sightings came from reading a short news story claiming UFO sightings had fallen off. The report suggested UFO were clearly not real since fewer and fewer people were reporting them, she said.

"That didn't sound right," she said. "I went out to one of the national data bases and the bar chart (of sightings) goes up like a rocket launch."

And, she added, the reports were not from clearly crazy people.

"I found that the majority of sighting reports where by people who were very sincere, and it had energized them to find a place to report what they saw," she said. "They wanted to get this off their chest."


A couple other trends she noticed were, one, "the people who see the majority of sightings are outside having a smoke, walking the dog or outside smoking walking the dog." And, two, "there's a seasonal pattern." For most of the country, reported sightings begin to climb during spring and summer. In places without notable shifts from winter to summer — Texas, Florida and Arizona, for example — the number of reporting’s stays relatively flat. Basically, she figures, come spring and summer, people are simply outside more.

So what is out there that everyone is seeing?  Are the demons getting ready for some final, Last Days push where they will finally make contact with humans and feed them a story about some distant planet from some distant galaxy there are from?

Will the people left on earth actually believe them?  Will the people on earth have any way to verify the 'aliens' story?

People Would Be Stunned to Know Who Actually Controls the Federal Reserve

Most Americans have NO IDEA how our money and banking system works.  In fact, most Americans just take the whole system on FAITH.

When you hear the term FEDERAL RESERVE one would naturally think that the Federal Government, which is made up of elected officials, probably has a handle on the whole thing.

But that is not the case.

With every passing day, the Fed is slowly but surely losing the game.

Only it is not just former (and in some cases current) Fed presidents admitting central banks are increasingly powerless to boost the global economy, even if they still have sway over capital markets. What is far more insidious to the Fed's waning credibility is when former economists affiliated with the Fed start repeating mantras that until recently were only a prominent feature in the so-called fringe media.

This is precisely what happened today when former central bank staffer and Dartmouth College economics professor Andrew Levin, special adviser to then Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke between 2010 to 2012, joined with an activist group to argue for overhauls at the central bank that they say would distance it from Wall Street and make its activities more transparent and accountable to the public.

Levin is pressing for the overhaul with Fed Up coalition activists. Many of the proposed changes target the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, which are quasi-private and technically owned by commercial banks in their respective districts.

All of that is not surprising. What he said to justify his new found cause, however, is.


"A lot of people would be stunned to know” the extent to which the Federal Reserve is privately owned, Mr. Levin said. The Fed “should be a fully public institution just like every other central bank” in the developed world, he said in a conference call announcing the plan. He described his proposals as "sensible, pragmatic and nonpartisan."

Why is that stunning? Because it has long been a bone of contention if only among the fringe media, that at its core the Fed is merely a private institution, beholden only to its de facto owners: not the people of the U.S. but to a small cabal of banks. Worse, the actual org chart of who owns what is not disclosed, even as the vast majority of the U.S. population remains deluded that the Fed is a publicly owned institution.

As the WSJ goes on to note, the former central bank staffer said he sees his ideas as designed to maintain the virtues the central bank already brings to the table. They aren’t targeted at changing how policy is conducted today. “What’s important here is that reform to the Federal Reserve can last for 100 years, not just the near term,” he said.

And this is coming from a former Fed employee and Ben Bernanke's personal advisor! That in itself is a most striking development, because now that the insiders are finally speaking up, it will be a race among both current and prior Fed workers to reveal as much dirty laundry as possible ahead of what is increasingly being perceived by many as the Fed's demise.

To be sure, Levin's personal campaign for Fed transformation will not be easy, and as the WSJ writes, what is being sought by Mr. Levin and the activists is significant and would require congressional action. Ady Barkan, who leads the Fed Up campaign, said the Fed’s current structure “is an embarrassment to America” and Fed leaders haven’t been “willing or able” to make changes.

Specifically, Levin wants the 12 regional Fed banks to be brought fully into the government. He also wants the process of selecting new bank presidents—they are key regulators and contributors in setting interest-rate policy—opened up more fully to public input, as well as term limits for Fed officials.

While ending the Fed may still seem like a pipe dream, at least until the market's next major crash at which point the population may  finally turn on the culprit behind America's serial boom-bust culture, the U.S. central bank, Levin's proposal would get to the heart of the most insidious conflict of interest in the US: the fact that the Federal Reserve works not for the people of America, but for its owners - the banks.

Which is also why, sadly, this proposal will be dead on arrival, as its passage would represent the biggest loss for Wall Street in the past 103 years, far more significant than anything Dodd-Frank could hope to accomplish.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-11/bernankes-former-advisor-people-would-be-stunned-know-extent-which-fed-privately-own

If you want to ponder what triggers/events could literally tear America apart in a very short period of time...just ponder what would happen if the FAITH and CONFIDENCE were to vanish from our monetary system.

Since the US Dollar is the world's ONLY reserve currency at the moment...the entire global banking system would be shaken in a very serious way.

Again, we have no idea IF this is going to happen soon or if we could limp along with our current system for decades....but the Bible plainly tells us that in the Very Last Days THERE WILL BE A NEW FINANCIAL SYSTEM on the books and every person who wants to use it will need a special mark to buy or sell anything.

In order for that to happen, the existing system needs to be torn down.

So let's remember to have faith in Jesus and faith in the Word of God alone....because everything else is going to be burned up.

Syria Threatens to Launch Scud Missiles at Israel

It would appear that conditions are ripe for movement towards the fulfillment of Isaiah 17.

Syria’s government reportedly transmitted a message to Israel through Russian mediators that it would strike Israel with Scud missiles if the Jewish state “strikes Syria one more time.”

Syria transmitted a message indirectly to Israel threatening to fire Scud missiles against the Jewish state if the IDF continues to strike targets within Syrian territory, according to a report on Saturday in the Lebanese outlet Al-Diyar.

“Syria could retaliate against Israel by firing Scud missiles should the latter strike Syria one more time,” the message said.

The Scud missiles would supposedly carry about half a ton of explosives and would be fired without warning. The report claims Syria has at least 800 Scud missiles.

The message adds if Israel conducts another operation within Syria, the Syrian army will immediately target Haifa’s port and petrochemical plant.

Israel’s reported strikes in Syria, aimed at preventing advanced weaponry from reaching the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah, have gone unanswered by Damascus.

Tensions between Israel and Syria escalated over a week ago when anti-aircraft missiles were launched from Syria at Israeli aircraft. Israel’s arrow defense system successfully intercepted one of the missiles.

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman warned Syria against any future targeting of Israeli aircraft, threatening to destroy Syria’s aerial defense apparatus if Syria repeats its behavior.


https://worldisraelnews.com/syria-threatens-fire-scud-missiles-israel/?utm_source=MadMimi&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Finally%2C+No+Daylight+Between+US+%26+Israel%3B+Israel+Defies+UN+Call+to+Stop+Building+in+Judea+%26+Samaria&utm_campaign=20170326_m138327530_Finally%2C+No+Daylight+Between+US+%26+Israel%3B+Israel+Defies+UN+Call+to+Stop+Building+in+Judea+%26+Samaria&utm_term=more_btn_dark_jpg

If Syria were actually dumb enough to decide to attach any chemical weapons to any of those SCUD missiles....one could see how Israel might go ballistic and decide to put a sudden and permanent stop to any further attacks.

Isaiah 17
“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
    but will become a heap of ruins.
2 The cities of Aroer will be deserted
    and left to flocks, which will lie down,
    with no one to make them afraid.
3 The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
    like the glory of the Israelites,”
declares the Lord Almighty.

Famous Singer Tried to "Pray Her Gay Away" at Jesus Camp

Katy Perry is in the news telling people how she tried hard to "pray her gay away" while she was at Jesus camps.

For my readers who have NO CLUE who Katy Perry is....she is an icon and role model to MILLIONS of girls age 6-26 all across this country.  One of her most famous hits that almost every girl in America could sing for you is, "I kissed a Girl...and I liked it."

Katy Perry revealed on Saturday night that she’s done more than just kiss girls.

The pop star was honored at the Human Rights Campaign Gala in Los Angeles where she revealed she explored her sexuality as a teenager.

“How was I going to reconcile that with a gospel singing girl raised in youth groups that were pro-conversion camps?” Perry, 32, shared while accepting the National Equality Award, according to E! News.

“What I did know was I was curious and even then I knew sexuality wasn’t as black and white as this dress,” she said. “And honestly, I haven’t always gotten it right but in 2008 when that song came out I knew that I started a conversation and a lot of the world seemed curious enough to sing along, too.”

Because of her religious upbringing — both of her parents are pastors — she spent much time praying “the gay away in my Jesus camps.”

Her perspective on sexuality shifted after she made the leap from Gospel music to the mainstream. “I found my gift and my gift introduced me to people outside my bubble and my bubble started to burst,” Perry said. “These people were nothing like I had been taught to fear. They were the most free, strong, kind and inclusive people I have ever met.”

Sad.

I have read that a large percentage of girls are now having sex with each other while at college. Many claim it's because they are "just experimenting" or "having fun while I can".  Others claim it's because the college boys/men are too busy playing Nintendo and have no interest in dancing, drinking, dating and making out with them....so they would just rather just do all those things with their girlfriends!

Either way, I am CONVINCED that the perversion manifesting in our female population is yet another sign as to the LATENESS OF THE HOUR.

Romans 1:26
Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

PS....yet another FEMALE TEACHER was arrested for having sex with her male students.  This is almost happening on a weekly basis in America....where 50 years ago it would have NEVER happened.

Muslim is "Shocked" by Liberals and Leftists

It is amazing to watch the liberals and leftists come flying out as soon as a bomb goes off or a truck drives over a crowd and scream, "Say no to Islamophobia!"  It's like the media hasn't even announced the terrorist's name and the liberals are exploding with "remember that Christian extremists are bad too!"

What kind of delusion are these liberals and leftists actually under?  Why are they so driven to be apologists for Islam?  Why are they so willing to mock Christianity and Jesus while at the same time defending Islam and Muhammad?

If you had grown up, as I did, between two authoritarian governments -- the Islamic Republic of Iran and Syria -- under the leadership of people such as Hafez al Assad, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, you would have seen your youth influenced by two major denominations of Islam in the Muslim world: the Shia and the Sunni. I studied both, and at one point was even a devout Muslim. My parents, who still live in Iran and Syria, come from two different ethnic Muslim groups: Arab and Persian.

You also would have seen how the religion of Islam intertwines with politics, and how radical Islam rules a society through its religious laws, sharia. You would have witnessed how radical Islam can dominate and scrutinize people's day-to-day choices: in eating, clothing, socializing, entertainment, everything.

You would have seen the tentacles of its control close over every aspect of your life. You would have seen the way, wielded by fundamentalists, radical Islam can be a powerful tool for unbridled violence. It is the fear of this violence, torture, and death, wielded by extremist Muslims, that keeps every person desperate to obey.

My father was brutally tortured -- justified by some of the fundamentalist Islamic laws of the ruling governments in both Iran and Syria. The punishment extended to my mother, my family, and other relatives, who were tormented on a regular basis.

What was even more painful was, upon coming to the West, seeing the attitude of many people who label themselves liberals and leftists, towards radical Islam.

These liberals seem to view themselves as open-minded, but they have a preconceived way of thinking about Islam: to them, it seems, there is no radical Islam, Islam is only a force for the good, Islam can do no evil.

How could they not see the way extremist Muslims exploit some aspects of the religion of Islam to legitimize its acts? How could they not even acknowledge that radical Islam, a force that threatens to destroy the planet, let alone my family, exists?

Instead, many liberals would criticize me or attempt to turn a blind eye, as if I were accidentally making some embarrassing mistake. They seemed instead to love being surrounded by Western Muslim "scholars", those who are apologetic towards radical Islam and -- notably -- have never actually lived in a Muslim country under the strangling grip of the official fundamentalist laws, sharia.

Why do many liberals, who criticize Christianity and religious conviction in general, appear to open their arms to radical Islam so affectionately? Why are so many liberals, who call themselves the robust defenders of peace, social justice, and freedoms, apologetic for all types of fundamentalist Islamist laws?

Finally, it goes without saying that, as with all of us, liberals too attempt to preserve their financial and political interests. These material and social investments are also threatened by hearing from Muslims who have endured oppression and torture under radical Islam. Those liberals seem to suspect, correctly, that this new information might create some kind of conflict of interest, so possibly decide it might be safer not to hear it in the first place. Instead, again to protect their investment, many liberals and leftists ignore or criticize Muslims such as these.

Finally, a short message to liberals might go: Dear Liberal, If you truly stand for values such as peace, social justice, liberty and freedoms, your apologetic view of radical Islam is in total contradiction with all of those values. Your view even hinders the efforts of many Muslims to make a peaceful reformation in Islam precisely to advance the those values. In addition, sadly, your view towards radical Islam actually contributes to the violence and the repression of millions of people -- women, children, slaves, and all those people whom you claim you want to protect. These are the true victims. They are subjugated, dehumanized, terrorized, tortured, raped and beaten on a daily basis by the practitioners of radical Islam and the religious laws of sharia, which are at the core of that fundamentalism. It is time to open your eyes and your minds and see what is staring at you.

The Bible tells us that we shouldn't be surprised when the world hates us....because the world hated Jesus first.

The Bible also tells us that GREAT DELUSION will be coming for those people who have REJECTED Jesus Christ as the only form of salvation.

As you read this article and think about it....both of those facts are reflected in it.
